Wang Shouren is worthy of being one of the Four Confucian Saints. His long-term and accurate vision is far beyond ordinary people. He suddenly saw the development potential of Songjiang Prefecture, which is later Shanghai, and also proposed to use Songjiang Prefecture as the governor of the Four Seas.

In this way, all activities in the Governor's Office are under the surveillance of the court, and the suspicion of the court, especially His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhou Chong also agreed with Wang Shouren's proposal. In addition, he was originally from Songjiang Mansion and had many close friends there, especially Xie Lingyun's family had a considerable influence in Songjiang Mansion, so if he could cure it, he could

Wherever I moved did not have much impact on Zhou Chong.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong was also extremely happy. He began to discuss the specific details of moving the capital to Songjiang Prefecture with Wang Shouren. He was full of confidence in Songjiang Prefecture and could even see a piece of Yangtze River estuary in advance.

The thriving and thriving huge port cities are rising rapidly.

What made Zhou Chong even more happy was that Wang Shouren actually warned him, which showed that the other party had begun to sincerely help him complete the maritime layout of the Ming Dynasty. This was like a tiger for Zhou Chongwei. I believe that with Wang Shouren

With the help of the great sage, the Ming Dynasty will be just around the corner.

The matter of moving the capital to Songjiang Prefecture was decided, but Zhou Chong still needed to summon Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai and others to discuss in detail, so Zhou Chong and Wang Shouren only discussed the overall situation, and then they only saw Wang Shouren's topic.

After a turn, he said with a smile: "Governor, it is indeed a good thing for you to recruit those scholars into the Nanyang Fleet. In addition, the adult also proposed to establish a learning place specifically for the fleet to cultivate naval talents. Every year, he went out.

Recruiting students. Although the officials are not clear about the training process of this learning place, they always feel that this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. I wonder if the Governor can explain it in detail so that the officials can have a sneak peek?"

Wang Shouren was originally a soldier. Not only did he read military books since he was a child, but he also served in the Ministry of War for a long time. Therefore, he also had a considerable interest in military affairs, and even if he had the chance, he also hoped to lead the general.

The fleet of the mansion is powerful overseas, but unfortunately the Governor's Office is different from other places. The soldiers here are all military generals, and at most they can send a military supervisor, but there is never a civil servant to restrain him, so it is difficult for him to find an opportunity to lead troops in the Governor's Office.

.

Zhou Chong knew that Wang Shouren would be interested in the plan of his military academy, and that someone would also need to be responsible for this military academy. Wang Shouren is an excellent candidate, so Zhou Chong smiled after hearing this, turned around and went from the bookshelf.

He took out a stack of paper. It was his idea of ​​military academy and then spread it on the table to clean his cough. Then he gave a detailed explanation to Wang Shouren.

"Brother Bo'an, I am going to set up a military academy in the Governor's Mansion, or call it a military academy. This military academy is different from those of the academy in my Ming Dynasty that taught the Four Books and Five Classics, because it is an academy built for military men, and in the military academy, it is only

He can teach military books and also have militarized management of the court, so that the students here can adapt to the life of the army in advance. It can be said that students who graduate from here will become middle and senior generals in the Ming army in the future."

Zhou Chong paused at this point, and then said: "In addition, the students here will receive education on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from the beginning. In this way, the loyalty of the Ming army can be enhanced. As long as the court takes a little precaution,

There is no need to worry that the army will be controlled by some ambitious people. It can even be said that as long as the court controls the military academy, it is equivalent to controlling the Ming army!"

Like the previous Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty adopted a suppressive attitude towards military personnel. Especially after the Battle of Tumu Fort, the essence of the Ming Dynasty's nobles was completely lost and they were no longer able to compete with civil servants for control in the court. As a result, the entire Ming Dynasty became

As a civil servant, the status of military generals has dropped to the lowest point again, even worse than that of the Song Dynasty. After all, military generals in the Song Dynasty may enter the court to participate in the government affairs, but military generals in the Ming Dynasty have completely lost their political influence, and even

The control of the army is also gradually losing.

For example, it was popular for civil servants to lead troops in the Ming Dynasty. God knows what those civil servants thought, but even took away the last piece of private land of the generals. In contrast, the generals of the Song Dynasty could at least lead troops alone, and even produced a lot of them.

Famous generals, but look at the Ming Dynasty, except for those founding generals in the early Ming Dynasty, there was only one Qi Jiguang who could call him a famous general, but this famous general still relied on the protection of Zhang Juzheng as a civil servant to show his ambitions. From this we can see that the Ming Dynasty

How pitiful the general is.

It is precisely because the status of the military generals is extremely low. Even when a military general meets a civil servant who is two levels lower than him, he will feel shorter. Even when he is leading troops to fight, they are still controlled by civil servants everywhere.

For example, Shen Ying, under Zhou Chong, is a veteran of the Ming Dynasty. He has been leading troops under the suppression of civil servants for most of his life. In the end, he finally got the title of Jingyang Bo, but he was almost killed by civil servants.

Fortunately, he met Zhou Chong, and in the end he was not willing to stay in the Beijing camp. Instead, he came to the Governor's Office to lead troops despite his nearly seventy years old. He even stayed in Malacca and was unwilling to come back. The biggest reason was that he worked under Zhou Chong.

He was very free and was not subject to civil servants everywhere, which allowed him to find the dignity of a military general again. Therefore, even if he endured hardships in Nanyang, he was unwilling to go to Beijing to serve as a general in the Beijing camp.

Zhou Chong had long seen the embarrassing status of the Ming general, but he also knew that this situation was not formed in a day or two, nor could it be changed in a day or two. Even Zhengde, he was powerless to do anything about this situation.

After all, the civil servant group has completely controlled the Ming Dynasty, and Zhengde also needs to use the power of civil servants to rule his country, so he dare not and cannot change this situation.

The reason why Zhou Chong opened a military academy was actually that he wanted to change the low status of the Ming generals. It may not be effective in the early stage, but Zhou Chong believed that as these military academy students slowly occupied the middle and upper levels of the army, these people would then

Forming a natural alliance, it will become very difficult for civil officials to knead military generals as they used to, and may even attract counterattacks from military generals. Then there is no need for others to do anything. These are combined

The general will change his situation bit by bit.

However, Zhou Chong did not tell Wang Shouren in person about the above ideas of changing the status of military generals. After all, the other party is also a civil servant. However, seeing the other party's smile, Zhou Chong estimated that this great saint had probably guessed this level, but he

He did not say it out loud. I believe Wang Shouren knew clearly that blindly suppressing military generals would not be of any benefit to the Ming Dynasty. It would be better to use military academy to improve the status of some military generals.

"It is indeed a very clever trick to start a military academy. I believe that after the military academy, my Ming Dynasty will definitely have countless good generals. However, this matter is probably not easy, and it may attract opposition from the cabinet, and the military academy is really too

Special, I'm afraid it's not something that our Governor's Office can master. I wonder what kind of solution can the Governor have?" Wang Shouren said with a smile. In fact, he already has a solution to the two questions he asked.

, but he needs to listen to Zhou Chong's words with his own ears.

"Brother Bo'an, don't worry, I also know that although the military academy is good, it is not something that our Governor's Office can control, so I have submitted a memorial to Your Majesty, hoping that he will serve as the principal of the military academy. Speaking of which, Your Majesty likes the military affairs the most,

And he is familiar with military books. Now his Majesty serves as the principal of the military academy, which is the most appropriate. As for someone in the cabinet, it is the matter of Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty will handle it well!" Zhou Chong said helplessly

.

He used to like talking to smart people because he thought it was easy to talk to smart people. Some things didn't need to be said clearly, and the other party would understand what he meant, and it did it well afterwards, but now it's the first time he has been doing it.

If the person he talks about is too smart, the whole conversation will seem a bit boring. For example, the conversation between him and Wang Shouren is now very boring, because he found that no matter what he said, Wang Shouren seemed to be able to guess.

By the following conversation, this made him feel frustrated.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words that made Emperor Zhengde the military academy the principal, Wang Shouren finally showed a smile on his face. With his wisdom, he could naturally see the great significance of the emergence of the military academy. It is no exaggeration to say that the military academy will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The most powerful means of military generals, even those who come out of the military academy, will definitely be reused in the shortest time, because these people are all disciples of the emperor and the people whom Your Majesty trust the most. With them here, Your Majesty's control over the military academy will be even more important.

Powerful.

Next, Wang Shouren asked some details about the military academy. After all, he was very curious about this new thing, so he naturally wanted to know how this military academy operated. Even if possible, he wanted to serve in the military academy.

Zhou Chong also agreed with this position. Although Zhengde can be the principal, it is only nominal. The military academy also needs a real manager, and Zhou Chong thinks that Wang Shouren is very suitable for this position.

Wang Shouren heard that Zhou Chong wanted to manage the military academy directly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement. You should know that the principal of this military academy is Zhengde. If he could manage the military academy on behalf of Zhengde, it would be for any official.

It is a very tempting thing, because it means that they can have more contact with His Majesty the Emperor in the future and clear some obstacles for their career. Of course, Wang Shouren doesn't care much about this. What he cares about is the significance of the military academy to the Ming Dynasty.
