Hongwu Survival Guide

Regarding Jinling Military University, Zhu Yuan had written a simple plan to Lao Zhu before.

Mainly school goals.

Through the study of past dynasties of war history and military strategy, cultivate military command talents in batches, and at the same time, be responsible for guiding the Ming Dynasty from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons.

In addition, the plan also explained the deeper considerations that Lao Zhu would definitely not show to outsiders.

Cultivating military commanders in batches can ensure that the imperial court has enough generals to choose and appoint at any time, and will no longer cause some generals to control the military town for a long time due to the lack of leading command, resulting in a situation that cannot be lost.

This is actually exactly the same as Zhu Yuan's consideration of the civil service system.

Through Jinling University and other institutions, in the future, traditional Confucianism will no longer be able to control the court, and even, unless the emperor is stupid enough to a certain extent, otherwise, any simple faction will no longer be able to achieve dominance. Court balance.

Moreover, if someone is unwilling to do something, someone else can immediately make up for it.

Speaking of it, this kind of thing that shakes the foundation of Confucianism can only be done in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yuan came more than ten or twenty years later, and the Confucian forces suppressed by the Yuan court to the low level were restored, the difficulty would increase exponentially if Zhu Yuan wanted to do this again.

This is off topic.

Speaking of Jinling University, Zhu Yuan gave his ideas before, and Deng Yu came here this time mainly to discuss some specific implementation plans.

The first is the site selection of Jinling Military University.

Deng Yu has looked at several places recently, and he prefers two. One is around Xuanwu Lake, north of Hongshan.If it is confirmed, Hongshan on the north side of Xuanwu Lake is exactly surrounded by colleges and universities.

The other place is Yuhuatai in the south of the city, and to the east are the Dajiaochang and the camps of the Gyeonggi armies.

After listening to Deng Yu's introduction, Zhu Yuan was very satisfied with both parties.

How to choose, Zhu Yuan actually doesn't want to intervene very much, but let the military decide.

Hold back.

You can't take everything to yourself, it's enough.

Zhu Yuan was noncommittal about the two locations, and Deng Yu revealed his thoughts, which surprised Zhu Yuan. It was this place to the north of Hongshan Mountain.

Then I looked at the map to understand.

Jinling City generally has two large camps. One is in the city, located in the north of the city, in the Shence Gate adjacent to the northwest corner of Xuanwu Lake. This camp is smaller and has a small school yard attached.In addition, Jinling's 600 million shi level grain storehouse is also near the military camp in the city.

The other big camp is the area outside the Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city, with a large school yard attached.

It is conceivable that the garrisons that can be arranged in the city are both closer and more elite, such as the Tiger Benwei and other armies.So, looking at the selection point north of Hongshan, it is actually only four or five miles away from the camp in the city inside the Shence Gate.

Obviously, the considerations are very political.

On the other hand, Deng Yu was also calm, thinking that there are so many schools gathered here, and the military university should be here as a matter of course, not the wilderness in the south of the city.

Of course Zhu Yuan did not object.

So initially determined.

Next, sir and students.

Students have no doubts.

Zhu Yuan mentioned in his plan before that one is to cultivate promising military elites, mainly young middle and low-level officers, and the other is to cultivate military children with blood inheritance.

Not children of military households.

Because, Zhu Yuan's proposal to Lao Zhu, when the time is right, it is best to abolish the military household system and replace it with the national military service system.At that time, only the military households will be gone, not the soldiers. Therefore, the blood inheritance will definitely continue.

In addition, if a scholar wants to join the army, as long as he passes the examination and assessment, he can also enter the military university.

There will not be too many quotas for this part, because it is conceivable that there are not enough points in the army, let alone others.But a hundred years later, times change and the world will change, so it will be more biased towards the folk.

The problem is mr.

Most of the dynasties, in the early days of the founding of the country, can be called famous generals. However, another characteristic is that most of the famous generals were born in Yeluzi, the kind who fought step by step from the mountains of corpses and blood, and there were few learned military strategists. .

For this, Deng Yu thought of Liu Ji.

Although Liu Bowen has retired, he still left a deep impression on the generals in the army.

Zhu Yuan also remembered that in the period of the early Ming Dynasty, Liu Ji was one of the few who left works on the art of war.

Therefore, Deng Yu hoped that Zhu Yuan could lobby Lao Zhu to revive Liu Ji and let him preside over Jinling Military University.As for Deng Yu himself, this general is also calm. He has read some books, but he is only able to write.

He also mentioned that he had mentioned to Lao Zhu about recovering Liu Ji, but he was rejected.Deng Yu obviously felt that Zhu Yuan had more reputation with Lao Zhu and might be useful.

It's true that Zhu Yuan has a lot of face.

But sure, it didn't work.

Let Liu Ji retire, first to protect the monarch and his ministers for a while, it is Lao Zhu who has made up his mind. It is not that Zhu Yuan did not encourage him before, and he also failed.

However, Mr.'s question is actually easy to handle.

A famous general who was born in Ye Luzi, why is he not a famous general, why can't he be a gentleman?

Compared with the orthodox art of war masters who are inevitably stereotyped, Ye Luzi may be more useful.Therefore, in the future, there will not be many generals from all walks of life in Ming Dynasty, and one lesson will be enough for the students of the military university to learn.

For example, let Xu Da talk about the Northern Expedition, how it was deployed, what problems were encountered, what challenges were solved, and what experience can be used for reference.

For another example, let Chang Yuchun talk about the process of attacking Taiyuan in a roundabout way. Although he failed to enclose the expanded Timur, the series of fast rushes and quick strikes in Shanxi can be described as wonderful.

For another example, let Tang He talk about the Southern Expedition.

and so on.

Regardless of whether they are from Huaixi or not, Daming currently has a large number of generals of various types in the army.

Each is wonderful in its own way.

In general, it is Zhu Yuan's thinking about Jinling University, or, all universities are currently thinking the same way.

Because they are all in the early stage of running a school, there is no template and no experience, so we should study and summarize, teachers and students are integrated, and those who have achieved it first, and after more than ten or 20 years or even one or two generations of exploration, we can always form a perfect teaching system.

Then, there are the teaching materials.

First of all, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is compulsory, and its status is equivalent to the Confucian "Analects". This point will not be disputed.As for the other art of war in the past dynasties, it is necessary to make a choice, so it still needs to be sorted out, which just fits the idea of ​​​​running the school in the early stage.

Secondly, Zhu Yuan thought of one, similar to the once famous Harvard MBA, with four simple words: case teaching.

There are so many famous generals and so many famous battles in history, listed out, let the students conduct research, and substitute them into the deduction, even the annual exam, can be a battle deduction.

Of course, there are also the current famous players.

This is more informative.

Just like the previous examples.

After the teaching materials, considering another purpose of running the school, to push Ming Dynasty into the era of thermal weapons, various related majors should be added, such as research and development and manufacturing of thermal weapons, research on the tactics of thermal weapons, naval development under the background of thermal weapons, and so on. .

In addition to these theoretical teachings, because it is a military academy, there is another very important one, the physical fitness of the students.

This definitely cannot be relaxed.

Even if the era of hot weapons is completely entered in the future, physical training is inevitable.

Finally, the evaluation system still adopts the credit system.

Complete credits to graduate.

Just discussing with Deng Yu in an orderly and divergent manner, while Zheng Xun was in charge of recording, unconsciously, more than an hour passed.

Seeing that a certain young man was obviously lacking in energy, although Deng Yu, who was full of interest and relish, thoughtfully took the initiative to pause, and led Zheng Xun to get up and leave.

Because the conversation was not finished, I mentioned it on the spot, and I will come to visit again in a few days. I also hope that Zhu Yuan will take the time to go and see the site selection together, and make suggestions for the construction of the campus.

Zhu Yuan also agreed.

After seeing off the two of them and returning to the inner courtyard in a sedan chair, Zhu Yuan had to catch up on another sleep.

It was dark when I woke up.

After eating some food, I went back to the main room. It was not suitable for me to fall asleep immediately, so I turned to the low couch by the window in the small hall on the west side, and ordered to call the two girls, Hongsu and Huangteng, and planned to watch the dance for a while.

Xie Yi sent Qing Niang to call for someone, while raising the mattress on which her lord was leaning against, she said: "My lord, the one you ordered before noon has been brought back."

Immediately came some interest: "Call me to have a look."

Freehand agree.

He thought he would have to wait for a while, but instead he was waiting in the outer room. After Zhu Yuan gave his orders, he was immediately ushered in, accompanied by the 'aggressive' Zhongli Watermelon.

He motioned for the watermelon girl to come up to his side, hugged her casually, and then looked at the woman in her thirties who was wearing a blue-black silk jacket and skirt in front of the couch, and immediately frowned: "This dress looks old-fashioned, change it later."

The woman who was standing with her head bowed in a timid posture subconsciously raised her head, then lowered it quickly.

What I promised was freehand brushwork.

The woman lowered her head, but the angle was just right for Zhu Yuan who was leaning on the couch to admire,
With a fair face that doesn't show his age, one can imagine how pampered he used to be, but now he is very thin. A face with a pointed chin, but no cheekbones, coupled with that mature charm, is very suitable for Zhu Yuan aesthetic.

So he waved: "Come here."

The woman trembled, looked at a certain watermelon, shook her head slightly, but obediently and disobediently took a small step forward, twisted her hands in front of her, and murmured: "My lord, my concubine... ..."

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Understood."

Signaling to the side: "I won't watch the dance, you guys go to rest too, um... just keep one of the candles here, and blow out the others."

Woman: "..."

Everyone:"……"

It was still Luoshui who knew the fun, chuckled, and took the initiative to blow on a candlestick beside him, and then motioned for Xieyi, Liu Bai and the other maids to go out.However, a certain sack with little sense of presence was left behind as usual.

When he finally left, Luo Shui gently pushed the woman into the arms of his little official.

Zhu Yuan stretched out his hand to catch it.

Then came a special fragrance, um...Looking at the one snuggling next to it, I suddenly had an idea.Tonight's theme can be called...'Twisted Melon'.
