Chapter 3: Military Academy

During the first family meeting, Zhu Yinglong specially determined the development direction for his three wives. Tian Shuying focused on craft design, Zhou Yingning followed him to learn management methods in future generations, and also served as the first private female secretary. Ye Lianyi, Sun and Xiong, two military experts, learned military affairs. Xu Yingyuan was responsible for the diet and daily life in the mansion as the chief supervisor. Wang Chengen was very experienced and was very old in his work.

Once this arrangement was released, Zhou and Tian two girls had no objection. Ye Lianyi's little mouth was raised, and one hundred people were unwilling to do so. Although Zhu Yinglong liked the feeling of being arrogant and arrogant, he was still very democratic after twenty-five years of communist thought. However, Zhu Yinglong's words made the little girl go happily and brought Mei'er over. Being a female general is more tempting than being a peaceable wife.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by your Military Command Department, Logistics Management Department, and Firearms Research and Design Bureau?" As soon as you got the three aunts, Sun Chengzong came over with the "Suggestions on Establishing a Military Academy" he wrote to him.

Zhu Yinglong patiently explained: "These three departments are three parts of the Military Academy. The Military Command Department is to cultivate military command talents, the Logistics Management Department is to cultivate logistics talents, and the Firearms Research and Design Bureau is an institution to improve or invent new weapons..." He explained the idea and purpose of establishing these three departments by himself in detail to Sun Chengzong, and he stopped after he was drooling. In fact, Zhu Yinglong also wanted to establish a medical school, but he did not have talents in this area at hand, so he did not mention it for the time being.

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a long time before he understood. He knelt down on one knee for Zhu Yinglong and said excitedly: "The prince is an unprecedented military talent, and I admire him very much."

Zhu Yinglong took a glass of water to moisten his throat. He almost choked when he heard this. There were only three systems. If he brought all the future generations, wouldn’t he be lying on the ground in admiration? It seems that it is necessary to abolish the kneeling ceremony of three kowtows and nine bows first. He always bows like this. If he gets hot one day and accepts it slowly, it will be a big violation of his original intention. He hurriedly helped Sun Chengzong up and said, “Dean Sun, I am not used to this kneeling ceremony. There is no need for this kneeling ceremony between you and me in the future.”

"Prince, there is a difference between superiors and subordinates, so the etiquette should not be abolished!" Sun Chengzong said in shock.

"Director Sun, I ask you, do you really respect me in your heart?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"Of course, I respect the prince very much!" Sun Chengzong said excitedly.

"What about others? Did Dean Sun respect me in his heart for him like you?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"This old man..." Sun Chengzong was suddenly stopped.

"You respect me in your heart. Whether you kneel or not, you will respect me. But others have kneeled on the surface, respected me, and done a lot of etiquette. But they may not necessarily respect me in their hearts. Some of them are only fear or flattery, or even perfunctory. Do you think I want respect in my heart or those superficial skills?" Zhu Yinglong asked very calmly.

"Prince, even though that is said, the etiquette cannot be abolished. Wouldn't this be a mess of the rules?" Sun Chengzong frowned worriedly and said.

"I just say that the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping is not abolishing the rituals of the superiors and subordinates. For example, next time, Dean Sun, you can just bow when you see me. If it is in the army, you must also implement a military ceremony to abolish other rituals that are complicated now." Zhu Yinglong said affirmatively.

"Your Majesty, you must not. Are you abolishing the ancestral law?" Sun Chengzong hurriedly stopped.

"Director Sun, do you think it should not be abolished? Didn't you also write a letter to reform the military system and prevent literati from governing the army?" Zhu Yinglong asked back.

"Prince, this is different..." Sun Chengzong wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any powerful reason at once, and his expression was quite embarrassing.

"Director Sun, do you think this world is unchanging?" Zhu Yinglong guided him.

"Of course not." Sun Chengzong said affirmatively.

"Since the world is changing, there are always times when the ancestral law is not suitable. Since you know it is not suitable, why can't it be abolished?" Zhu Yinglong asked back, "The ancestral law cannot be violated. It does not mean that the things of the ancestors must remain unchanged. If this is the case, the emperor is still needed. What do you ministers need to do? Isn't it enough for everyone to follow the ancestral law!"

Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly became brighter and bowed to Zhu Yinglong and said, "What the prince said makes sense, I have received the teachings."

"The world is changing, and we naturally have to change as well. If we don't change, others are changing, this world is not just a country in the Ming Dynasty, so we have to change. If we can't let this be clear, the final price is the destruction of the country." Zhu Yinglong looked ahead with deep eyes. Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel that the fifteen-year-old young prince in front of him suddenly became taller, and his whole body emitted a dazzling light that he dared not look directly at.

Who said that the thoughts of the ancients were all about the ancients? This is all one-sided. If people like Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were completely about the ancients, they would not become talented military masters. Of course, in some aspects, the ancients were not as good as modern people, but they could still influence and transform.

At present, the work of Yinglong Villa was stopped due to weather reasons. Zhu Yinglong started to reorganize 1,000 officers and soldiers from the Genshin Impact Machinery Camp, laying off the old and weak, and moved the garrison to the new camp of Yinglong Villa. Some of them went out to do business, and there were less than 600 officers and soldiers left. The expansion was not realistic, but it would cause trouble. Zhu Yinglong had always had an idea to imitate the special combat troops of later generations to build an all-round offensive small force, which was reduced to the three-three system of later generations.

The two battalions were respectively the battalion commanders of the original Shenji Battalion, Lu Haotian and Xiong Zhaolian, and Xiong Tingbi were the regiment commanders. Anyway, this was a regular army. Although Xiong Tingbi somewhat disagrees with Zhu Yinglong's approach, after the reorganization, he found that the benefits of this three-three system came. First, he was flexible in command and had a strong cohesion. Although he also accepted Zhu Yinglong's name for their new official position, there was a faint shadow of a strong army.

Replace the war drum with a military horn, because the war drum is too bulky, and it is really a burden to carry such a thing when marching. Every day, I wake up and go out for exercises, in the morning, five kilometers of off-road, exercise, practice martial arts, practice calligraphy in the afternoon, practice firearms, learn various combat skills and ideological transformation. These are all new things. Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong have never seen such training and combat methods in their lives, especially Xiong Tingbi. He always feels that the young prince is in the head.

There are so many wonderful ideas in it. Every time I took out one, it seemed that it had a reason. After taking it out, I was completely impressed. Zhu Yinglong opened the veil from cold weapon combat to hot weapon combat. He attracted the attention of Sun, Xiong and others with his unprecedented fighting methods, training methods and military ideas. Unfortunately, it was not on the front line of Liaodong, otherwise Sun and Xiong might have to experiment on the spot, and they were very itchy every day.

Since Ye Lianyi followed Sun and Xiong, according to regulations, all the students of the Military Academy will act with the army. No training subjects like five-kilometer off-road are missing. However, she has to spend more time and learn military command with the two battalions. Sometimes Zhu Yinglong will come over to give them some theories of cooperative combat between infantry and artillery in modern warfare. Sun and Xiong have rich combat experience, basically teaching them, let them learn from their strengths and weaknesses before passing them to the officers and soldiers below.

The newly formed two battalions named Zhu Yinglong as "Wild Wolf Camp" and "Tiger Camp". Xiong Zhaolian is the battalion commander of the Wild Wolf Camp and Lu Haotian is the battalion commander of the Tiger Camp. However, because of the "Shadow", Xiong Zhaolian asked Xiong Hu to temporarily take over the position of the battalion commander of the Wild Wolf Camp. This made Xiong Hu, who had been full of fighting since childhood, was extremely excited. Even the eyes of Zhu Yinglong's eyes changed a little affectionate, which really made Zhu Yinglong excited for a long time. This matter of both business and private affairs, why not do it? However, the two were not very transparent. Although Xiong Butterfly is affectionate to Zhu Yinglong, it is quite flickering. Both sides have an uncertain feeling, so this layer of window paper has been so muddy and has not been penetrated yet!

It is so good to say that the princess is a student like herself, suffering the same hardship. These wild wolves and tiger-like men do not study and train hard. Thanks to Wei Zhongxian, who has driven all the pillars who are capable of being excluded to come to his own team. These people are all people who have made contributions and cannot be promoted and depressed. These people are also very difficult to control. Zhu Yinglong actually attracted the curiosity of these people with his military theory, and then assisted with new training methods, gradually gained their trust and loyalty. If he had not taken into account his identity and did not give others the opportunity to take advantage of it, he would probably have been at the construction site of Yinglong Villa.

Zhu Yinglong not only changed the military courtesy, but also changed the military rules, and divided the daily discipline and battlefield discipline. He was not allowed to beat and scold soldiers, but also did not allow him to fight if he made mistakes. He changed it to confinement. He stayed in an empty room with nothing but sleeping for a day. They couldn't stand it at all. After trying it a few times, they became much more honest. This was even more uncomfortable than hitting them with thirty military sticks. Learning was not a bad thing. After learning a lot, you will have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. If you find such an opportunity, you can find it!

Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi both thought that Zhu Yinglong had made a big deal of this, but after implementation, they realized that this was not a big deal of it, but a good way. Not only did the combat effectiveness improve, but the cohesion also increased. The complaining voices during the practice basically disappeared, and the two of them respected Zhu Yinglong even more.

One day, Xiong Tingbi mentioned to Zhu Yinglong that his soldiers were not as good as the Eight Banners soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. Usually, three Ming soldiers were required to deal with one Eight Banners soldier in the Later Jin Dynasty. If it was on the right track, it would be even more outrageous. Five Ming soldiers may not be opponents. Xiong Tingbi was in Liaodong for many years and trained many elite soldiers, but it was still not ideal. This doubt also existed in Sun Chengzong's mind, so it caused heated discussions among the three.

Xiong Tingbi believed that the Later Jin Dynasty was a horse-bearing life. These people were much more skilled in bowing and horses than the Ming army. They were basically born on horseback. There was a reason for losing. Moreover, they hunted more and had a living, and their strength was much greater than that of the Ming soldiers in the Central Plains, so they were defeated.

Sun Chengzong affirmed Xiong Tingbi's opinion, but added that the Later Jin Dynasty had an outstanding military strategist, Nurhaci. It was under his leadership that the Later Jin Dynasty had such strong combat power. The Eight Banners were less than ten thousand and were invincible.

Zhu Yinglong knew that these two military strategists were right. The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers was indeed much stronger than that of the Ming soldiers, but this was a helpless result. Their original talent determined it. Zhu Yinglong did not explain it positively, but asked: "Two sirs, I want to ask you a question. If one person fights with another person, and this person is not the opponent of another person in terms of speed and strength, then what should this person do to win?"

"He can use a strategy to win." Xiong Tingbi said.

"He can use firearms or more sharp weapons." Sun Chengzong immediately expressed his opinion.

"What if this person had neither a plan nor a firearm or sharp weapon?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

Both of them thought for a long time before saying, "There is nothing, prince, how can he win?"

Zhu Yinglong did not answer and then asked, "Two sirs, if the enemy punches you, you can't stand it and fall down, then do you have no chance to turn defeat into victory?"

Both of them shook their heads.

"The two adults are wrong. When facing an enemy that is stronger than you, you must first be prepared to be beaten. And the longer you get beaten, the more your opponent's strength will be consumed, and in the end you can easily win." Zhu Yinglong said.

"Isn't this the prince still using a strategy?" Xiong Tingbi said in confusion.

"It can be said that, but if the enemy knocks you down with one punch, will it be useful for any more strategies?" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"To learn how to beat people, you must first learn how to be beaten. The subordinates understand." Xiong Tingbi suddenly realized and expressed what Zhu Yinglong wanted to say.

"It's not that our soldiers are not as good as the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty, but that our soldiers are too weak to resist the joint efforts of others. Although this is related to the national lifestyle, the most important thing is that the diet between our two sides is very surprising. The Eight Banners eat mostly meat, while our Ming soldiers eat mostly rice and vegetables. Whoever is stronger and weak will be judged immediately!" Zhu Yinglong then put forward his own point of view.

The two famous generals who were on the battlefield had a novel view of Zhu Yinglong, but they had to admit that what the young prince said was some truth.

"Sweat more often in normal times and bleed less during wartime. Two adults, don't be afraid of injury or suffering. Our current conditions are naturally not as good as those of the Later Jin Dynasty, so you must not be careless when training troops!" Zhu Yinglong said earnestly.

The two veterans on the battlefield were shocked, "Sweat more in normal times and bleeding less in wartime." How good is it to say, complex and firm light shot out from their four eyes. The eyes of Zhu Yinglong were even more different, and they said in unison: "Prince, if you lead the army to fight, I think no one in the entire Ming Dynasty, including the Later Jin Dynasty, is your opponent."

Zhu Yinglong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say what I said as if Sun Wu was reborn. In fact, my current level is similar to that of Zhao Kuo. All of them are talking about war on paper. In practice, I am afraid that I am not even as good as the two generals!"
