Hearing Yang Yiqing mention that military generals would also oppose the establishment of military academies, Zhengde and others were stunned at first, and then realized that the positions of military generals in the Ming Dynasty were also hereditary. If a military academy was established, then these generals trained in the future would definitely be different from the old-style military academies.

Military generals would seize positions and even squeeze out old-style military generals from the army completely. This would naturally cause dissatisfaction among those military generals, so Yang Yiqing said that military generals would also oppose military academies.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to solve. The last general also has several sons. The eldest son is already an adult and is currently serving in the army. He is doing a very good job and has been promoted to Qianhu. I am afraid he will not take me over in the future.

The remaining three sons are not yet adults. The general thinks that they can be sent to the military school. Whoever does the best in the future will inherit the position of the general. The remaining

No matter how useless you are, I'm afraid I can still make a living in the army in the future!" At this time, Qiu Yue said with a smile. He is also a military general, so he naturally understands the psychology of generals, and the military academy is only used to train generals for the army, and there is no restriction on entry.

With their student status, they, generals, can naturally send their own children in as soon as possible, so they don't have to worry about others taking their positions.

Regarding Qiu Yue's words, Zhang Yong also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, General Qiu's words are on point. Anyway, the military academy trains generals, and the recruits will naturally give priority to the generals in the army, but those

Since the general dares to send his children and grandchildren to military academies, he

Be prepared for your children and grandchildren to endure hardship. The military academy is a place to train the future generals of the empire, not a place for them to fight with horses and dogs. Therefore, management must be strictly controlled. Any student who dares to violate the rules of the military academy. No matter what his background is,

Never let it go easily!"

Zhang Yong used to be a military supervisor, in charge of the military discipline of generals and soldiers, so he has a deep understanding of discipline. Although most military supervisors only collect money and turn a blind eye to things in the army.

Close one eye, but

Zhang Yong is different from other eunuchs. When he was a military supervisor, he always paid close attention to military discipline. For example, when King Anhua of Ping'an rebelled. After Yang Yiqing's army entered Ningxia, it was because of Zhang Yong's restraint that they did not give any orders to the local people.

caused too much damage to the people.

"Hahaha~, seeing everyone working together for the military academy, the concept of the military academy has become more and more perfect. I believe that when the actual construction of the military academy begins in the future, there will be fewer problems. This makes me also

I'm so happy!" Zhengde saw Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing open their arms.

He was very excited when he began to think about the military academy. He believed that with Yang Yiqing as the capable official in charge, and Zhang Yong and Qiu Yue assisting him, the most important thing was that he had the support of the emperor behind him.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one can stop the opening of the military academy.

Just when Zhengde convened everyone to discuss the matter of the military academy. Li Dongyang, who had read Zhou Zhong's memorial before, was also worried about this matter. However, his attitude was completely different from that of Yang Yiqing, because Li Dongyang was firmly opposed to the establishment of a military academy.

This is true, and another important member of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, whom he trained as the successor to the chief minister, also holds the same attitude.

"Li Gong. Zhou Zhong is getting more and more outrageous now. He even proposed such a ridiculous thing as opening a military academy. However, with your Majesty's temper, this proposal will probably be very popular with your Majesty. If nothing else, your Majesty will definitely accept it.

Agreed, if we don't find a way to stop it, I'm afraid we will have to watch the military academy open!" In the study of Li Dongyang's residence, Yang Tinghe said anxiously while walking back and forth in the study.

"Well, since Zhou Zhong became an official, he has indeed become more and more unruly. This time he even thought of such a thing about the military academy to please His Majesty. It is simply treating the important affairs of the imperial court as a trifling matter. It seems that we were too much towards Zhou Zhong before.

You're tolerant!" The old Li Dongyang also said, stroking his white beard.

The reason why Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe opposed the establishment of a military academy was not just because they were worried that military generals would unite again and threaten the interests of the civil service group. In addition, they also had their own reasons for insisting.

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe were both pure civil servants, which was different from Yang Yiqing. At least Yang Yiqing had served as an official in the northwest for many years, and had personally led troops to fight, so he had a clear understanding of the Ming Dynasty's armaments. In this regard, Li Dongyang and Li Dongyang were different.

Can't compare with Yang Yiqing

, at least they have always firmly believed that military generals must not have the same status as civilian officials, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be messed up by these military generals sooner or later. At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty was because it emphasized military force and neglected civil servants. Although it could be strong for a while, it was buried later.

The cause of civil strife.

Although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe have higher positions than Yang Yiqing, they are not as clear as Yang Yiqing about the military preparedness of the Ming Dynasty, and their concept of valuing civility over military affairs has long been ingrained. Even if others put the facts in front of them, I am afraid that

It is not easy to convince them. This is a difference in philosophy and cannot be changed in a short time.

"Li Gong, now Zhou Zhong's memorial has been sent to the palace. His Majesty must have seen it. Moreover, I just received news that Brother Ying Ning, who was working in the Ministry of War, suddenly received a summons from His Majesty. Now he has entered the palace. In addition,

Also entering the palace was Qiu Yue, the Marquis of Xianning, who commanded the Three Thousand Battalions. I heard that the company

Zhang Yong from the palace also went to the Leopard Room. These three people are all knowledgeable soldiers, but they were summoned to the Leopard Room by His Majesty at this critical moment. Do you think they will be summoned by His Majesty to discuss matters about the military academy?" Yang Tinghe

He calmed down his excitement and told the news he had just received.

When Li Dongyang heard that Yang Yiqing had also been summoned to the palace, his expression changed. He pondered for a moment and finally said: "Your Majesty summoned a general and a minister of the Ministry of War to the palace, and there was also Zhang Yong, who had served as a military supervisor.

, it just so happened that Zhou Chong’s memorial had just been delivered to the palace. It seems that there is a high probability that they are discussing the military academy. Among them, Zhang Yong and Qiu Yue are the only ones. I am worried about Ying Ning..."

When Li Dongyang finished speaking, he stood there in deep thought. When Yang Tinghe saw this, he said a little strangely: "Why, Mr. Li is worried that Brother Ying Ning will oppose the military academy in front of His Majesty and thus conflict with His Majesty."

?”

Although Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing were officials in the same dynasty, he and Yang Yiqing were only acquaintances, not close friends, and he did not know Yang Yiqing particularly well. It was just that he stood in his own position and took it for granted that Yang Yiqing would be on the side of the civil servants, and

Yang Yiqing has a stubborn character and may conflict with His Majesty the Emperor because of his insistence on opposing the military academy.

However, Li Dongyang smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Jiefu, you still don't know enough about Ying Ning. Although Ying Ning was also a Jinshi, he has been working in the northwest since he was twenty years old, and even personally led

Guobing, from the bottom of his heart, he is more like a military general than a civil servant, and he

I have always felt that there are problems with the military system of the Ming Dynasty. I have discussed reforming the military system of the Ming Dynasty with me many times. Unfortunately, he himself cannot come up with a complete charter. Now that the new thing of the military academy has appeared, I am worried that Ying Ning will think that this is a

It was a good opportunity to reform the Ming Dynasty's military system, so what unwise decision was made."

It has to be said that Li Dongyang is indeed an old friend of Yang Yiqing for many years. He is also very clear about Yang Yiqing's thoughts. He immediately guessed that Yang Yiqing might choose to support the establishment of a military academy. If this is true, then Yang Yiqing has betrayed the entire army.

As the leader of the civil service group, Li Dongyang is very worried about how to get along with Yang Yiqing in the future?

"No way. If Ying Ning chooses to support the military academy, then he will offend all the civil servants, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future. Does he really have no scruples at all?" After hearing Li Dongyang's words, Yang Tinghe,

He also shouted in surprise. He really didn't expect that Yang Yiqing, a civil servant, would support the establishment of a military academy.

"Well, Jiefu, you don't know much about Ying Ning. Although I have known him for many years, we have some differences in political opinions. For example, he has always been very dissatisfied with the military system of the Ming Dynasty. He even thinks that if this continues,

I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in the future, so I have always wanted to control the Ming Dynasty with military force.

Although I have persuaded him many times to reform the army, I have not been able to convince him to change his views. Fortunately, he has not been able to find a way to reform the army, so he has not taken action. Now that the military academy is an opportunity, I am afraid he will do whatever it takes.

I will not hesitate to support the military academy, even if my reputation is ruined for it!"

Li Dongyang sighed again at this time and said, he was still a little unsure just now, but now after his own analysis, Li Dongyang is sure that after Yang Yiqing enters the palace this time, he will probably be confused with the ministers in the court when he comes out again.

He embarks on a completely different path. Although this path is very painful and lonely, he will continue to walk on it and will never regret it, because he is Yang Yiqing.

"How could this happen?" Yang Tinghe said incredulously again. He obviously couldn't understand Yang Yiqing's thoughts. After all, they had fundamental differences in thinking, especially when it came to treating the Ming Dynasty's military system. Although Yang Tinghe also knew the Ming Dynasty's military system,

There were certain problems with the system, but he did not think that these problems were caused by the excessive suppression of the military generals by the civilian officials. Instead, he felt that the military generals were unruly and did not cooperate with the civilian officials' command, which caused the chaos in the army.

"Li Gong, if Brother Ying Ning really chooses to support the construction of the military academy, it will definitely not be a good thing for us. After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the military academy should belong to their Ministry of War. Then we should
