eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 140 The Disaster of the Military Academy and Uncle

Hongzhi 12 years, February 23rd.

Prince Zhu Houzhao was trying his best to start the academy, and officially opened the military academy in the inner hall.

There are still people who whisper in the court, but Wu Kuan and Cheng Minzheng, who were the loudest at the time, are now relegated to a remote place to serve as magistrate, and the other is ordered to retire.

They all offended the prince, such a serious crime, that is, the emperor was thinking of their old relationship, so they didn't kill them.

Except for these two people, the voices of the important officials in the DPRK are not loud anymore, and some of the censors have expressed opinions, but people like Wang Jia and others can also refute.

In the final analysis, Zhu Houzhao has a great cause that is beneficial to the country. Even if some officials want to say a few words, they can't organize any major opposition actions.

So under Zhang Tianrui's various preparations, the military academy officially opened.

According to Zhu Houzhao's request, all the generals who come here to study not only study military affairs, but also study political history, from the beginning of Qin Dynasty, the northern border troubles of our Central Plains Dynasty, from the Han-Hungarian dispute, to the chaos of China, and then to the Tang Dynasty The feud with the Turkic, Song and Khitan until the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, Emperor Taizong and the Yuan Dynasty.

After that, what we need to study in detail is the history of the rise and fall of the Tatars. The generals in the frontier army have a little understanding of this, but in the final analysis, the position is hereditary, and the books are not very good. The selected ones are even more ignorant.

The slow spread of information in ancient times is beyond the imagination of modern people, and the illiteracy rate is very high. Basically, those who can read and write are considered talents. Those who have read military books have a great chance. If you can analyze the situation, this It's called rare.

Therefore, in martial arts novels, it is not unreasonable to immediately become a master after getting a copy of the Nine Yin Manual.

The difference between the opening of the military academy and others is that the dean Zhang Tianrui announced to them that he invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in person.

30 people, the house is not big, not magnificent, but this is the starting point of Zhu Houzhao's martial arts.

In order to get to this starting point from scratch, he tried to get money and established his prestige in the court one by one, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to summon these people here today.

I still remember that at the beginning, just after leaving the palace, ministers would come to the emperor to give a performance. How about today?

Sometimes it's not a matter of the power held by the prince, there are also factors such as prestige.

At the beginning, the courtiers didn't know, thinking that it would be fine to do that, since the emperor wouldn't say anything anyway.But now, whoever jumps out and tries to see if it ends well.

Zhu Houzhao was tired of facing a group of old scholars every day.
It is different now, people like Yang Shangyi, Han Ziren, Wu Hang, Xiong Shangwu and others are all strong and strong men, in their 20s, the oldest one is Ma Yihuai, who is a member of Tengxiang Zuowei.

I am 37 years old this year. I have a straight body and tight muscles. There is a slanted scar on my forehead. Most of the time I sit upright and silent.

Zhu Houzhao knew that this person was the one who beat Wu Junchuan recommended by Zhang Yong... the one who was good at wielding sticks,
It was said to be a fight, but it was not because of conflicts, but because Zhang Yong advocated a martial atmosphere in the army. He originally thought that with Wu Junchuan, it would be no problem to suppress this group of Qiu Ba by force, but the pretending failed.

For this matter, Zhu Houzhao laughed at him for a long time.

And this Ma Yihuai came into Zhu Houzhao's sight. Jin Yiwei went to investigate again and found that this person had a normal background, just an ordinary person who inherited his father's position.

But after marrying a wife, it is different.

The so-called right family, his family is a military member, and his father knows someone who is also a military member, so he found a soldier's daughter to be his wife. As a result, this daughter-in-law is very good at fists and feet, her skeleton is also broad and thick, and her husband is even bigger than her husband. His father's position is going to be big, what can he do?
Exercise your skills and try to protect yourself.

Now that the two sons have grown up, they dance with guns and clubs all day long, making the Ma family a full-fledged martial artist.

Zhu Houzhao found it interesting, at least this 'family education' is very good, even if Ma Yihuai has nothing to do, but if he trains well, maybe his two sons will be more promising.

Most of the warriors who came today were mid-level and lower-level generals. The warriors didn't have the "holding" energy of the literati, and they were very excited to see the prince.

Accompanied by Wang Yue, Zhu Houzhao sat on the main seat,

"Everyone, raise your heads and look at Gu. Let Gu see you too. You are the first trainees of this Daming Military Academy. Gu has been thinking about this day since the 11th year of Hongzhi. Zhang Tianrui is better than Gu. After seeing you, he said that here are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and he told Gu to come anyway. So Gu came."

Zhang Tianrui is timid, Zhu Houzhao always remembers to support him.

"You come to the capital from all over the world, and you must know that the army is being reorganized in the capital, and the brave people will be weaved together to form an elite army. They are soldiers. Here..." The prince pointed to everyone, "here It's the general!"

In this way, everyone's expressions naturally became more excited.

"In all dynasties and dynasties, there are many famous generals at the founding of the country. After the founding of the country, there are few generals. Why? Did the famous generals come out as soon as they reached that pass?" Zhu Houzhao spoke with a sense of cadence, neither fast nor slow, sometimes He also gestured, "No, the times make heroes. Therefore, I believe that we can still have the soil for famous generals to emerge after the Ming Dynasty was founded for a hundred years. The key lies in whether there is this opportunity. To put it more bluntly, whether there are battles And this...is about Yu Gu's thoughts."

"Last year, 2000 Tatar missions came to Beijing, and [-] people entered the customs. They said they were paying tribute, but in fact they came to buy weapons. Dayan Khan has already rectified the interior. Why did he buy weapons? It will not be placed on the Great Wall. Playing outside, right? So, Gu has already made up his mind, and I, Zhu Houzhao, will conquer the Great Wall for the rest of my life!"

"I know that all of you seem to be powerful, but not everyone has the aura of swallowing mountains and rivers, or even wants to go to the battlefield, maybe just want to get some military pay, and forget it after living this life. But in short I must fight this battle with the Tatars, even if you don't go, the prince of this palace will bring the eunuchs in the palace to prevent the northern captives from violating our Daming border again and plundering our Daming people! You have the idea of ​​meritorious service and knighthood, and you also have the courage to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so take this as a starting point, be loyal to Daming, and be loyal to the Holy One, and you will play a triumphant song in the future, and congratulate you again!"

Wang Yue sighed in his heart, His Highness is really a dragon and a phoenix among people!

"The minister is more willing to die for His Royal Highness! But in the future, he will definitely kill the enemy and serve the country, with the oath of all His Highness today!"

Under his leadership, Yang Shangyi and others also knelt down and shouted three times!
This is momentum, you have that kind of power, but if you don't have that kind of momentum, you will lose your charisma, and people will naturally feel that there is no future for you.

And Zhu Houzhao is the prince, and he also has this momentum. The warriors heard this, don't they think that following His Highness the prince can be a man in the future? !

Human beings have always been strong.

"General Wang."

"Chen is here!"

"You have to teach me these [-] people. When they graduate, there will be an assessment. If none of the [-] people become talents, I will make trouble for you. In addition, I will turn this military academy into a military academy. It means that every year in the future, people with lofty ideals in the army will be selected for further study. This is the first batch. Let us all see whether the latecomers surpass the predecessors, or the predecessors set an example. Zhang Tianrui, "

"The minister is here."

"You do one more thing, find a few painters, and leave portraits for them. Soldiers are going to the battlefield, and these 30 people may not all come back alive..." Zhu Houzhao sighed, "So the Military Academy will Leave the information of each general to show that... the heroic soul will live forever!"

This is about the end of the prince's speech, and Wang Yue's lecture will follow.

Most of these 30 people are young. After the class of His Royal Highness, the blood is already hot, and they wish they could kill the enemy and make meritorious service immediately!
It was also the first time for Yang Shangyi to see the prince who General Wang Yue said had the talent of heaven. It is said that seeing is worth seeing once heard a hundred times. It is no wonder that Wang Yue, Zhang Tianrui and other groups of people are willing to submit to him because the Crown Prince has such lofty ambitions.

"Come back, we're starting!"

……

……

That is around this time.

The two uncles who had been going smoothly for many years rushed into the capital.

They've had a lot of trouble lately.In 11, Hongzhi was beaten up by the prince abruptly. He recovered from the injury and came out for activities for a few days, and his mother's troubles began...

In the past, the literati had a lot of opinions on them, but Empress Zhang has been protecting them, and the emperor can't do anything about them, so all the ministers are holding back their anger and worrying.

In the current situation, no matter how others look at it, they have to say something like 'you have today'.

So the vented emotions are like the rushing water of the Yellow River, so when mentioning these two uncles, which one should not laugh a few words?

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling heard a lot of what was passed around.

So much so that even Juren started talking nonsense about them.

Zhang Yanling couldn't bear it anymore. In February, the road was not easy to walk due to the thaw, but he and Zhang Heling also overcame this difficulty.

In the ninth year of Hongzhi, they fought with the family of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Changning Bo Zhou Yu.I'm not afraid of that kind of scene, how can I teach someone a lesson?

People went to the mansion in the capital to sit in town, and then sent many slaves out. Zhang Yanling yelled, "Go! Find that Tang Bohu! Bring him here!"

Poor Tang Bohu was still asleep, when he was suddenly awakened by the noise outside Linglong Restaurant,

Vaguely, he heard someone asking: Which room is that Juren Tang Bohu from Jiangnan in? !
boom!
Tang Bohu's room door was knocked open at this moment, which startled him a lot, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was Xu Jing, "Brother Xu! Why are you?"

"Brother Tang, more than 20 evil slaves are looking for you outside, so run away!"

Tang Bohu was no longer proud of being in the "Ming Pao" main office at this time, and asked in a trembling voice: "The capital's most benevolent place, which family dares to be so bold that it wants to connive at slaves beating people in the street?"

"Oh!" Xu Jing died of anxiety, "Don't worry about it, run away first. You just need to put on your clothes, and if you lose the gold and silver, you can throw them away. I have plenty of them!"

It's a pity that Xu Jing's news is slow, and they live upstairs, and the door has long been blocked, where are they going at this time?
Whoa!
"Brother Tang, for the present plan, you can only jump from here." Linglong Restaurant is built along the river, and there is a river outside the window. This is February!

Tang Bohu was a little hesitant, but he moved a bench and climbed up the window, "Brother Xu, I, Tang, will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

It's a pity that he, a scholar, moves slowly and has a small window. He mustered up the courage to stretch out one leg, but he couldn't get out the second leg no matter what.

At the door, the house slave of Uncle Jianchang’s mansion had already arrived, pointing at him and shouting: “He wants to run away! Catch him!”

"Why is there another person beside me?"

"It must be with him, take them all away!"

Tang Bohu looked at so many people, and then looked at his actions. He was very embarrassed, and suddenly he felt ashamed and angry, "You dare! Not you!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect that anyone would dare to say such a thing.

"What a stinking fart! The imperial court beat you! Pull it down!"

As a result, the room suddenly became chaotic. The two scholars, Tang Yin and Xu Jing, had no strength. They were quickly pushed to the ground, and someone wanted to do it.

"Wait!" At this time, the leading domestic slave said: "The order we received was to take people back, not to beat them to death. Take them back first before we talk about it!"

But someone fanned the flames from the sidelines, "The second master has become so angry, let's take these two good people back?! A small lesson is always necessary, right?"

These are not smart people, and being fooled like this, they feel like that is the case, otherwise, wouldn't the second master say that they are not doing their job effectively?

"Okay, let's fight first! Two fight together!"

There are too many people, surrounded by beatings, and the two scholars are weak, how can they stand it?The key is that the people arranged by Mao Yuwen started to kill Tang Yin.

Tang Bohu screamed at first, then suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, and then stopped screaming!

The leading house slave felt that something was wrong and immediately calmed down, "It's okay, it's okay. Take it away first!"

They shook Tang Bohu, his eyelids were already swollen, and his right nostril was bleeding, but fortunately, he was panting, as if he was beating his right arm and was unable to float.

Outside Linglong Restaurant, many onlookers crowded the street, and on the second floor diagonally opposite to the restaurant, there was Mao Yuwen sitting on a small table, drinking a little wine, looking like he was staying out of the way .

His expression was indifferent, and after a while, someone reported to him: "Master Qianhu, the matter is settled, and Tang Bohu's arm must be broken. Look at what we said before..."

Mao Yuwen took out a bag from his pocket and put it in front of him, but he didn't let him take it away immediately, and warned: "You have nothing to do next, get the money, and then go back to Jianchang Bo's mansion to work as an errand, understand?"

"Understood, the villain must follow suit."

The guy had a mustache and a sinister face, and happily left with a money bag containing a few ingots of gold.

And Mao Yuwen stretched out his hand to beckon, and the Jin Yiwei next to him immediately bent over and moved closer, "What orders does Lord Qianhu have?"

"Go and confirm whether Tang Bohu's hand is broken. After confirming, kill him and keep his hands and feet clean."

"Yes!"

Then he pointed to the other one, "Liu Si, when you're sure about this place, you can spread the word, saying...Shou Ning Bo and Jian Chang Bo allowed domestic slaves to beat people in the street, causing Jiangnan's son Tang Bohu's right hand Broken. I remember trying it in early March, right?"

"Yes." These confidantes probably knew his intentions, and they planned for so long just to gain face in front of the prince, "Master Qianhu, do you want to ask His Highness in time..."

Mao Yuwen narrowed his slender eyes, "No need."

First, he wasn't sure if the crown prince wanted to deal with Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang, if so, with the crown prince's means, he shouldn't let this opportunity go, why should he report it?If not, wouldn't it be his fault that caused Juren to fail the exam?At that time, what should His Royal Highness blame the blame on, so it is troublesome to say it.

Secondly, for such a sensitive matter, he had to think about whether the prince would like to know or not.And if you think about it with a pig's brain, you know that the prince definitely doesn't want to know.

Smart people don't say anything, but let His Highness know that you may have contributed to it.

For example, this time, what Shou Ning Bo and Jian Chang Bo did earlier made the prince quite displeased, but the opportunity came soon after, what about the next time, and the next time?The prince will understand.

There are many things that are better done than talked about.If he couldn't become such a useful person, then why did he get promoted by His Highness with his Mao language diploma?

When it was evening,
This thing gradually started to ferment,
It was also Zhang Yong who heard about it outside the palace, and then hurried to the East Palace to report.

He was still thinking that this matter was related to the prince's uncle, so he was more worried that Uncle Shou Ning and Uncle Jianchang would get into big trouble, but when Zhu Houzhao heard it, his expression became meaningful.

"If that's the case, that Tang Bohu is pitiful... I never thought that the two uncles would get into such a catastrophe..."

To some extent, this is more serious than trying to wear Emperor Hongzhi's crown. Anyway, as long as Hongzhi is dealt with, it will be fine if they are not strictly punished.But such a thing offends the scholars in the world, which literati can spare him?
Liu Jin felt strange when he heard it, "How could Uncle Shouning and Uncle Jianchang do such stupid things at this pass?"

"...Are they smart people?" Zhu Houzhao asked back, "It's just stupid people doing stupid things."

At the same time, he also began to think.

These foreign relatives in the Hongzhi Dynasty, led by Shou Ningbo and Jianchang Bo, invaded the land, demanded salt, and even raped the court ladies.

But has been unable to move.

In addition to their family, there are also many foreign relatives such as Changning Bo Zhou Yu Zhou, Yutian Bo Jiang Lun and Jiang Clan, all of whom had this problem in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Now, if we want to cure this abscess, if we don't move the most powerful Zhang family, the other families will be a bit dishonest if they move.

Moreover, Han Wen calculated for a long time, saying that it is absolutely impossible to maintain even a first-class guard with a scale of 8 people. The reason is simple and straightforward, and there is no money or food.After all, to detain the next level of guards, at least give people a way to survive, right?

But now that the money and food are coming, all the land occupied by the Zhang family can be taken back as Huangzhuang!

In fact, the two of them were supported by Queen Zhang in the final analysis.

"Liu Jin, go find Xiao Jing tomorrow, pick a suitable stall, and I'll go to meet the emperor." The prince thought it over, so he ordered.

"Yes."
