Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

After Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and others stood up with excitement on their faces, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di.

"Father, can I also try this kind of musket?"

"Can!"

Zhu Di handed the musket directly to Zhu Gaochi.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi looked happy and quickly took the gun in his hand. Tao Yiping loaded the gunpowder and started shooting!
bang, bang, bang...

Yu Xineng and Tao Yiping looked at it with shock and regret on their faces!

Prince Zhu Gaochi's marksmanship is no worse than Zhu Di's!
After Zhu Gaochi finished the test, Guo An also tried it. Of course, Guo An's marksmanship was not noticeable...

Afterwards, Zhu Di reluctantly left.

"With this kind of musket, the Shenji Battalion's combat effectiveness will definitely become stronger again!"

On the way back, Zhu Di's eyes were full of light.

"Your Majesty is right!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di added: "Two months later, half of the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion must be equipped with such a musket!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An quickly thanked him.

Zhu Di added: "Since muskets can use flint to ignite gunpowder, can artillery do the same?"

"It should be okay!"

Guo An glanced at Zhu Di in surprise and nodded slightly.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, take Tao Yiping and Yang Ting as soon as possible to research this kind of artillery.

By then, the locust plague will cause serious harm to the Mongolians on the entire prairie. We will march northward in the Ming Dynasty and wipe out the Mongolian Tatars one by one.

It will definitely help the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the troubles of these Mongolian Tatars forever! "

On the side, Zhu Gaochi was filled with excitement.

Guo An flattered him softly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly and said, "The construction of the military academy that Guo Qing mentioned can also begin!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Guo An's tone fluctuate.

"I wonder where your Majesty plans to build the military academy?"

"Where to build it?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at Guo An again.

"It was Guo Qing who raised the issue of the military academy. As soon as the military academy responds to matters, Guo Qing will be responsible for them all!"

Guo An: "..."

After a while, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, the military academy will be built in Jiangjun Mountain!"

"General Mountain?"

Zhu Di was slightly startled, "The military academy was built in Jiangjun Mountain, and all the students in the military academy are generals..."

"Can!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An bowed his hand again, "The military academy is very important. I sincerely ask your majesty to be the principal of the military academy!"

"headmaster?"

Zhu Di looked weird again.

Guo An explained, "Your Majesty, the principal is the head of a school, just like the dean of the academy, the sacrifices of the Imperial College, and the generals sent by the military academy are all your majesty's students!"

"I see!"

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, "In this case, we will become the principal of the military academy!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An's face was filled with joy and he said: "In this case, I will trouble Your Majesty to place a plaque on the military academy!"

"Use my calligraphy treasure?"

Zhu Di was startled.

"naturally!"

Guo An nodded seriously, "Since Your Majesty is the first principal of the Military Academy, only Your Majesty is qualified to write the plaque of the Military Academy!"

"Hahaha, we agreed..."

Zhu Di laughed happily.

……

after separation.

On the carriage, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help it any longer. He cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and said with a nervous look on his face: "Dad, the teacher built this military academy to cultivate the power of military attachés. It would not be like the Song Dynasty where the entire court was staffed by civil servants." Control, those military attachés are like servants of humble ministers..." "We know!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Besides, there is one thing you haven't seen yet, and that is that we are the principal of the military academy, and all the generals who come out of the military academy are our students!
Disciples of the Emperor...these soldiers and generals who came out of the military academy must be our confidants and loyal to us! "

"Student of the Son of Heaven?"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, and then his expression changed slightly.

If Zhu Di hadn't pointed it out, he hadn't thought that the teacher had such a meaning.

In this way, the teacher had no other intentions regarding the construction of the military academy.

……

"Guo Ang, how are the construction of those workshops going?"

After returning to Guo Mansion, Guo An called Guo Ang.

Guo Ang quickly replied: "Reporting to the master, those workshops and schools have all been completed.

During this period of time, we are undergoing repairs! "

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded with satisfaction and said, "Send someone to Jiangjun Mountain to select a five-hundred-acre piece of wasteland. We will build a military academy!"

"Military academy?"

Guo Ang looked confused.

"It's an academy that specializes in teaching soldiers!"

Guo An glanced at Guo Ang and said, "This matter must not be leaked!"

Guo Ang hurriedly advised: "Sir, how can I, the Marquis of Dinghai, build an academy to teach soldiers without permission?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Guo An scolded softly, "Your Majesty knows this, and even the position of principal is still held by Your Majesty!"

"I see!"

Only then did Guo Ang feel relieved, "Master, please rest assured, the villain will definitely choose a good position!"

Guo Andao: "Choose a few more places and we'll make the final decision!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang responded again.

Then, without any instructions from Guo An, Guo Ang ran out quickly.

……

"Fengyang Prefecture has a great rice harvest!"

"Ningguo Mansion has a great harvest!"

"Suzhou Prefecture has a great harvest..."

a few days later.

One after another good news came from all over the country.

The entire capital was beaming with joy.

Since the rice seeds from Beiping Prefecture were introduced, the rice harvest in the south of Ming Dynasty has become more and more abundant year by year.

The common people are becoming more and more relieved every year.

However, the officials in the capital were not happy yet.

Something that frightened them happened again!

Jinyiwei actually started arresting people again!
The corruption of Yushi Mengyi was announced.

It was even discovered that Yu Shi Meng Yi had accepted bribes from officials during the year-end assessment.

Subsequently, throughout the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of officials were dug out to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, and manipulated the year-end assessment in order to receive more year-end bonuses.

then.

Although the officials and subordinates in the state capital where those officials were found were not implicated.

However, their results in this year's year-end assessment will definitely not be high.

All the officials cursed angrily.

thus.

This time, although Zhu Di killed many officials, he didn't seem to encounter any resistance!
In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di looked happy.

"Guo Qing is really a great sage. A mere year-end bonus can divide all those officials!"

"Prince, what is Guo Qing doing these days?"

Zhu Gaochi quickly replied: "Reporting to my father, the teacher is building a military academy these days!"

"Military academy?"

Zhu Di was a little surprised, "Guo Qing built it so fast? He hasn't asked us for money yet!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was suddenly stunned!
"It seems that the teacher really didn't ask my father for any property!"
