Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 137 Five Star Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!Zhu Han, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty

After getting in touch with some new Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River, he also admired those new Confucianism very much.

Therefore, when Chen Youliang fled from Huguang to Sichuan, he still brought with him many literati who studied the new Confucianism. The really useful talents were actually these people, not the old-style Confucian scholars in Sichuan.

After discussing with Zou Pusheng, Chen Youliang immediately ordered the recommendation of talents in Sichuan, and asked the generals stationed in various places to recommend landlords in their ruled areas to be officials.

All recommended gentry and powerful men must come to Chengdu to meet Chen Youliang.

After Chen Youliang's final selection, a large number of Sichuan landlords and gentry were appointed by Chen Youliang as local county magistrates and other officials of all sizes.

It's just that the power of these officials is not as great as imagined because of the existence of the Red Scarf Army garrison, but it is also a very good way out. This selection of officials is also based on the people who are not strong Even if the landlord has considerable talent and reputation, he cannot be appointed to an official position.

What's more, not only was he unable to get an official appointment, but soon after, Chen Youliang issued a decree to attack the local tyrants and divide the land.

The Red Scarf Army in Sichuan immediately acted quickly. A large number of landlords were accused of adultery with the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty, and their homes were all ransacked.

Almost half of the local landlords’ homes in Sichuan were wiped out.

But in this way, the local land in Sichuan was also controlled.

Using these lands, Chen Youliang expanded his army on a large scale in Sichuan, increasing the number of troops originally brought in from Huguang from 15 to as many as [-].

Moreover, these 15 people are all military households with land for everyone, similar to the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

Every soldier can be allocated at least [-] acres of land.

These are not those dry fields that are short of water and dry, but the high-quality fertile fields that are close to rivers and have sufficient water sources in the plains of the Land of Abundance.

Through this series of methods of attacking local tyrants and dividing the land, as well as some previous measures of recommending gentry to serve as officials, Chen Youliang quickly gained a foothold in Sichuan.

After gaining a firm foothold, he officially announced that he had moved the capital of the Han Empire from Hanyang, Hubei to Chengdu.

In this way, the capital of the Han Empire became Chengdu, Sichuan.

Talents from Sichuan flocked to the city of Chengdu one after another. Relying on Sichuan's unique geographical advantages, Chen Youliang unexpectedly showed the aura of being a hero in Sichuan.

The morale of all the soldiers of the Han Red Turban Army was also boosted.

The news that Chen Youliang was fighting local tyrants to divide the land in Sichuan soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had pacified Hunan and Hubei.

The large tracts of land from Huguang to Guangdong have been connected into one piece. In this way, they are not afraid of Chen Youliang's invasion of the East and committing crimes, and they can support each other.

After learning that Chen Youliang also practiced hunting local tyrants to divide the land in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a sarcastic smile.

"This guy, Chen Youliang, can be said to be turning a tiger into a cat."

Sichuan was originally a place with no traffic, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was very easy for the soldiers under him to be lazy and slack. Now he has distributed all the land in Sichuan to the soldiers.Then let the soldiers have a comfortable home, and then want to attack Sichuan, it will be even more difficult.

Zhu Yuanzhang's grasp of people's hearts has to be said to be higher than that of Chen Youliang.

Although the Ming Dynasty still has local tyrants to divide the land.However, as for the matter of land, it is not simply distributed to the soldiers under his command, but to many poor farmers.

Then, collect taxes from these peasants and recruit soldiers.

Otherwise, distributing all the land to soldiers will create a large number of rich and old soldiers.

No worries about food and clothing, rich and noble soldiers without any aggressiveness, but no combat effectiveness.

After learning about Chen Youliang's series of actions in Sichuan, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer regards Chen Youliang as a huge threat.

Zhu Han also felt that Chen Youliang did not pose any threat to him when he attacked the local tyrants and divided the land in Sichuan.

He said to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother, in this way, Chen Youliang is nothing more than a dry bone in the grave. As long as we stick to the Anzhou area, Chen Youliang will never be able to invade Huguang again."

The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That's right, Chen Youliang wants to learn from Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, but how many people in the world are Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty? And he sent his soldiers to the fertile land of Sichuan After a stab, it will be even more difficult to get these soldiers to move again, without their high morale, they will no longer be a threat to us."

Zhu Han also agreed with the analysis of his older brother Zhu Yuanzhang. He nodded and said, "Chen Youliang is nothing to worry about now. The only remaining enemies are the Mongols."

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, now Huguang, Guangdong, and Fujian have settled down, leaving only the Mongolians in the north. Xu Da has already sent a good news that Henan and Shandong have basically settled down, and now the remaining That is, most of them are still in the mid-range area.”

"Qiwu, how do you think we should take Guanzhong first, or Dadu first?"

Today's Ming army can be said to be fighting on three fronts.

First of all, the front line is the battle to put down Chen Youliang, and the other line is the pioneering war arranged by Zhu Han in Koryo, Japan and other places.

The remaining frontline is the battle to expel the Tartars and restore China to the Mongols launched by the north led by Xu Da.

Zhu Han said with a smile, "Now Chen Youliang is nothing to be afraid of. The only one left is the Mongols. Naturally, we have to fight steadily. Don't rush for a while. Most of the Mongols have no fighting spirit. Let's let him bleed slowly. If we kill them hard and run to the grassland, it will not be so easy to bleed them."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that Zhu Han's follow-up strategy was to let the Mongols retreat to the grassland in large numbers.

Then go north from Liaoyang and Youyun, and advance to the grassland with fortress tactics, forcing the Mongols to re-stage the Great Western Expedition on the grassland.

Zhu Yuanzhang also very much agreed with the strategy of letting Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong.

Now the situation in Daming is very good, whether it is going north to Dadu or attacking Guanzhong, it is actually not difficult at all.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is definitely the best in the world.

"Seventh Five-Year, going west to Guanzhong is second only to recovering Youyun Sixteen Prefectures." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile while looking at Zhu Han.

"We think, let Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong, you lead the army north to Dadu, and divide the troops into two groups, how about it?" said the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Let me take back Youyun Sixteen States?" Zhu Han was taken aback when he heard this suggestion.

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, the credit for recovering Youyun for sixteen weeks is too great, we think it's most appropriate for you to go, and Xu Da must beware of Chen Youliang in the south when he regained Guanzhong." , but also beware of the Mongols in the northwest, they won’t be able to spare! If you let you go directly to attack Dadu, it will also speed up the pace of the Mongols getting out of the Central Plains. We have heard that the Mongols saw that they could not sustain themselves. , In the Dadu generation, they extorted violently and had no scruples, driving them out of the Central Plains earlier, and giving the common people a chance to breathe earlier."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are not unfounded nonsense, according to the reports of various spies.Because the Mongols felt that their empire could not be maintained, they plundered and killed all over the place.There is no scruple at all. Many towns in Hebei were massacred by whole villages and villages by the Mongols because they resisted paying high taxes, grain and grass.

Letting Xu Daxi enter Guanzhong, and then Zhu Han personally led the army to recover most of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, is also a more appropriate strategy.

However, after Zhu Han heard this suggestion, he rejected it without even thinking about it.

He is not a fool, how can he not understand the mind of his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang?
In fact, this is because Zhu Yuanzhang still has not given up. He wants to establish himself as the emperor's younger brother, and his thoughts have not changed.

Zhu Han was asked to lead the army to recover Youyun Sixteen States, just to give him a higher prestige.

Now the crown prince Zhu Biao has been officially canonized, but the elder brother still does not give up, and still wants to make himself the emperor's younger brother.

This idea is very dangerous.

That is to say, the eldest nephew Zhu Biao is still young, if he is a little older, it will be very easy to cause distrust and suspicion between each other.

"Brother, I don't agree with this suggestion. Since Xu Da has been assigned the task of the Northern Expedition, it is inappropriate to divide the troops from him. The strength of the Ming army is already a little nervous, and the recruits have no time to train, so it is not appropriate to divide the troops. !"

Zhu Han's words made Zhu Yuanzhang more cautious.

Today, although the Ming Dynasty attacked from all directions, it did not rely on the numerical advantage of a large number of troops, but relied more on the main military thinking of elite soldiers and strong generals.

Xu Da had a lot of soldiers and horses, but they didn't seem to be enough for the entire huge northern battlefield.

Therefore, if the troops are divided, it will indeed increase the difficulty of attacking the pass.

Without hesitation, Zhu Han refused to lead the army to recover Youyun Sixteen States!

He also clearly expressed to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang that he had no intention of being the emperor's younger brother at all.

Old brother Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood, he nodded and said to Zhu Han, "Well, since you don't want to, then we won't force you, and leave the deportation of the Tartars to Xu Da slowly do it."

"However, in Xu Da's army, there are not many new troops. Once the Mongols are expelled from the Central Plains, there will be fewer chances for future wars. It is better to send Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others to Xu Da's army. Effectiveness, let them hone and cooperate with each other. It can be regarded as training, how about it?" Zhu Han suggested.

The older brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded immediately, and said: "Well, yes, Qiwu, this is a good idea of ​​yours. If Chen Youliang doesn't fight, he will definitely not dare to enter Huguang, Chang Yuchun, and Lanyu if they don't go to kill the Tartars. , I am afraid that there will really be no chance to make military exploits in the future."

In the Ming army, Xu Da is the most trusted direct line general, and the troops under him are all trained by himself.

The other armies were all trained and controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han himself.

In other words, the army under Xu Da belongs to its own line!
The army in the hands of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang is another line. Now that the world is about to be unified, it is very necessary to mix the two armies into one.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han trusted Xu Da very much, but the soldiers under them might not understand such an unbreakable friendship.

It is necessary to strengthen cooperation and trust among the various generals to prevent any estrangement and suspicion.

In Jinling City, Zhao Min was walking on the streets of Yingtianfu in Jinling, watching the bustling crowd, but felt sad and anxious in his heart.

It has been a month or two since she came to Yingtian Mansion, and all the gold and silver on her body has been spent.

The original inn was almost unbearable, but there was still no chance to assassinate Zhu Han.

I saw Zhu Han in Taixue several times, but because the weapons in his hands were confiscated in advance, there was no chance of assassination at all.

Today is another opportunity, another lecture in the Taixue Open Class.

Zhao Min heard that King Zhu Han of England would come to Taixue to listen to this open class today, so she spent the last bit of money on her body and asked the waiter in the inn to buy a front row seat for Taixue's open class for herself. Look for one last chance to finish.

Zhao Min brought his own sword, but this sword was just for show.

Because her real assassination weapon was the specially made hairpin on her head.

Today's Zhao Min is still disguised as a man, but she is indeed wearing a Taoist robe, and wearing a Taoist robe can wear a relatively loose Taoist crown and hairpin.

The hairpin on her head was made of cold iron, and it was carefully dyed by her with poison.

Zhao Min used a dog to test the toxicity of hairpins, and it can be said that he died at the sight of blood.

Therefore, today's Taixue public class is Zhao Min's last desperate fight.

If she couldn't assassinate Zhu Han, then she would have to surrender her life in Jinling City.

but.

It's a pity that Zhao Min encountered a big trouble for such an important action today.

That means she overslept!
I actually missed the time of today's Taixue open class.

She hurriedly walked towards Taixue.

If she fails to assassinate Zhu Han today, then she will never have the chance to contact King Zhu Han again.

She is almost penniless!

After today...the owner of the inn will kick her out.

Just as Zhao Min walked forward in a hurry.

Suddenly, he heard the rattling of a hurried carriage behind him.

Dangdang!

Dangdang!

A crisp copper bell sounded from behind.

Zhao Min turned around and looked back, only to see a rich and gorgeous four-wheeled carriage driving behind him.

This kind of four-wheeled carriage is the latest novelty in Jinling City.

This four-wheeled carriage has a tall frame and four exquisite wheels. It is said that not only does it drive smoothly, but also that people sit in it without bumps. It is not like the original two-wheeled carriage, which can last for a day or two It can knock people apart.

Zhao Min stepped aside to let the carriage pass by.

However, the carriage suddenly stopped in front of her, revealing a handsome face.

The people in the carriage looked at Zhao Min and said with a smile: "Brother, are you going to the Taixue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min looked at the people on the carriage, but was suddenly taken aback.

Because the person in front of him turned out to be Zhu Han, King of Great Ming Ying.

Although separated by a thin screen, she could still see the faces inside.

"You are, are you?"

Zhao Min suddenly trembled with excitement, her heart was beating thumping, the enemy who killed her father was right in front of her eyes, how could she not be excited?
Because of the intense excitement, a blush appeared on her face, like a shy crimson.

In Zhu Han's eyes, she actually had a charming and handsome appearance.

Zhu Han looked at the woman in Taoist robe in front of him, and immediately laughed.

He has seen this handsome woman disguised as a man several times in the public class of Taixue.

These days, there are not many women who are willing to spend a lot of money to attend lectures at the Imperial Academy.

Although this woman was wearing men's clothes, and her face was smeared with some dark things, she still couldn't hide her stunning beauty under these disguises.

Zhu Han recognized her just by passing by today.

Now I invite her to ride in the carriage with him, one is out of curiosity about her identity as a man disguised as a man, and the other is that I also want to have a chance to be alone with this unconventional beauty.

Today's Zhu Han is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. The beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, maidservants from Koryo and Silla, and women from the Japanese country have already opened his eyes.

The so-called sexuality is also normal. It is normal to see a beautiful woman to strike up a conversation.

When Zhu Han saw this familiar beauty, he thought she was a woman who disguised herself as a man and liked to attend lectures at the Imperial College. He didn't realize at all that the person in front of him was a female killer who regarded him as a surefire target!
Zhao Min was also taken aback by Zhu Han's accusation.

She didn't know how the bastard Zhu Han, the King of England, would suddenly invite her to take a ride on the street?

At this time, Zhao Min glanced at Zhu Han's carriage.

There were more than a dozen guards who were full of murderous looks followed closely.

Moreover, in Zhu Han's four-wheeled carriage, there seemed to be two maids serving inside, and it was unknown whether they were real maids or guards pretending to be maids.

Anyway, Zhao Min glanced at it, and immediately felt that the inside of the carriage was too small. If he made trouble, he might not have a chance of success.

The group of guards were too close, the closest one was only one or two steps away, before he had time to assassinate, he was about to be knocked down by them.

Just when Zhao Min was hesitating, Zhu Han felt that she was a little reluctant to get into his carriage.

After all, the one in front of her was a woman, and it would be abnormal if she got into the car so easily when faced with an invitation from a man like herself.

"Okay, since the girl doesn't want to get in the car, I'll take a step first." Zhu Han smiled slightly, and then asked the guards to drive forward.

"What? Girl?" Zhao Min was startled when she heard this word.

It turned out that he had already seen through his disguise as a man, and even invited him to get in the car!
The rascal!

Zhao Min was ashamed and angry in her heart, and even had some hatred for her indecision just now.

If he got into the carriage just now and was attacked suddenly, Zhu Han might have died on the spot.

Zhao Min came to Taixue with a disappointed look.

Sure enough, because he came too late, the gate of Taixue was closed, and outsiders were not allowed to enter again. Even if he had an expensive ticket for a lecture in Taixue, Zhao Min was rejected by the guards of Taixue.

Zhao Min was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

She can only wander around Taixue in a lost state.

Not long after, the gate of Taixue opened, and a four-wheeled carriage slowly came out of it.

This time, Zhao Min immediately recognized that it was the carriage of King Ying Zhu Han.

She mustered up her courage and stepped forward to face the carriage.

Sure enough, Zhao Min walked to the front.

The four-wheeled carriage stopped again, and King Ying Zhu Han leaned out from the window again.

"Girl, you really came late, didn't you go in?"

Zhu Han looked at the woman and said with a smile.

Zhao Min nodded, "I don't know where Xiongtai is going, can you take me for a ride?"

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately laughed, "You don't even know where I'm going, so how can I take you, it's not certain whether it will be on my way or not."

When Zhao Min heard this, she immediately panicked. The question she asked was full of loopholes.

The guards next to Zhu Han also became alert, watching with vigilant eyes.

However, Zhu Han felt that this woman disguised as a man might be looking for him for some other reason, so he asked again.

"Girl, is there anything you want me to help with?"

At this time, Zhao Min also went all out, and said directly to Zhu Han, "I know you are His Royal Highness King Ying of Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zhu Han smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am Zhu Han."

When Zhao Min heard the confirmation, her teeth were itchy with hatred, and she wished she could immediately draw out the sword in her hand, or pull out the poisonous hairpin on her head, to deal with the big thief in front of her, but her reason let her know that the probability of such a success is completely a zero.

"To be honest, today is the last time I come to attend lectures at Taixue. The tickets for Taixue are really too expensive. I wonder if His Royal Highness knows, is there any other way to attend lectures at Taixue?"

Zhao Min also knew from the girl's address just now that Zhu Han, a gangster and thief, must have taken a fancy to her beauty.

That being the case, she will do her best.

The beauty in front of her who is disguised as a man is such a down-to-earth strange woman who is willing to learn.

Zhu Han immediately said to Zhao Min, "Don't be discouraged. Now that the Ming Dynasty is emerging, it pays attention to the new Confucianism. It's not just the Taixue. Girls who study, girls can go directly to the Women's Taixue!"

Zhu Han's words shocked Zhao Min again.

"What? Women's Taixue?"

This is simply unheard of.

For thousands of years, there has been no women's Taixue. All the talented women in history have learned from their families. No court has ever said that they want to set up women's Taixue.

Hearing Zhu Han's words, Zhao Min showed a very surprised expression on his face.

Zhu Han was no stranger to this.

When he proposed this method, not only the subordinate officials, but even his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were very puzzled.

They don't understand, what is the use of letting women learn those new Confucianism?
However, Zhu Han understands the great benefits of letting women study.

As the great men of later generations said, women hold up half the sky.

The Daming in Zhu Han's mind is not a replica of the historical feudal dynasty Daming!
Instead, they want a new Ming Dynasty that has moved from a feudal dynasty to a modern society.

In this way, not only tens of millions of men in Ming Dynasty are required to work hard, but also an equal number of women are required to work hard.

And a group of illiterate women, or women who only know sour sage books, are of little use to modern society.

Only by allowing them to learn the new science of Confucianism, can a new type of talent be created.

This group of female students does not need to take up any official positions or do research, even if they are only allowed to support their husbands and children at home, it is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes for the society of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Han has always believed in one sentence, that is, a heroic mother can surely bring up a heroic child. This sentence is particularly practical for the Ming Dynasty today.

After all, the current social situation is that men dominate outside and women dominate inside.

Almost all the tasks of women are to care for their husbands and teach their children. If a woman who understands modern humanities and technology becomes the female ruler of a family, it will definitely be a huge improvement for a certain family in Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Han finished speaking, he took out a small silver card from his pocket and handed it directly to Zhao Min.Then said to him,
"Girl, with this name sticker, you can directly skip the initial exam and enter the re-examination of the Women's Taixue. Good luck to you."

Immediately, Zhu Han sat back in the carriage, gave an order, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

As the saying goes, brush off your clothes when things are over, and hide your achievements and fame.

Although Zhu Han likes it, he is not the first brother who is in a hurry. This kind of encounter is also very interesting.

Poor Zhu Han didn't know that the real motive of the beauty in front of him was actually to assassinate himself.

If he knew, he would have pulled out the musket at his waist and destroyed this beauty in an instant.

No matter what stunning beauty you are, as long as you pose a threat to Lao Tzu's safety, you will be wiped out immediately!
However, Zhu Han didn't know this, he just felt that he had met a rare and strange woman. After the carriage traveled a certain distance, Zhu Han suddenly realized that he was so stupid that he didn't think of asking this woman's name.

"If we meet again in the future, wouldn't it be a little embarrassing?"

However, Zhu Han had already seen too many women, so he didn't care much about the matter in front of him.

Yingtian Mansion is really too busy now. Although the old brother Zhu Yuanzhang has come back to preside over the government, many new things still need to be done by himself, and he has no energy to think about other things.

In particular, recently, I am busy preparing for the Women's Taixue and the Yingtianfu Royal Military Academy, which makes Zhu Han so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.

Today I was able to come to Taixue and listen to Wanhu Tao Guangyi's open class lecture.

It's already a little free time out of his busy schedule.

The Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty was a big event on Zhu Han's mind when the Ming Dynasty was first established.

In order to build the Ming Dynasty into a modern and powerful empire, a powerful army is an indispensable component, and the most important backbone of a powerful modern army is its middle and lower-level officers. The middle and lower ranks are the real masters of the army.

With a group of reliable mid-level and lower-level officers, it is possible to manage a group of soldiers into a group of war machines that obey orders.

Since the feudal era, everyone has realized the importance of discipline and grassroots officers.

However, the military controllers in the feudal era were actually all warlords, large and small.

Even the emperor is actually a big warlord.

They use various backward methods to restrain and train soldiers, often ignoring the regularization of middle and lower officers.

The major improvement of the modern army is to adopt a complete set of standardized procedures for the training and command of middle and lower-level officers.

The Royal Military Academy of Ming Dynasty was founded with Zhu Han's grand wish in mind.

The place Zhu Han is going to today is the Royal Military Academy outside Yingtianfu City.

He was going to inspect and see how the high-expected Royal Military Academy was operating after it was established.

After all, it contained the elites of the modern Ming army.

Looking at Zhu Han's four-wheeled carriage slowly leaving.

Holding the small silver card in his hand, Zhao Min stood there in a daze.

To be honest, she has no interest in the so-called new Confucianism in Taixue, and feels dizzy every time she listens to it.

In particular, when the famous Wanhu Tao Guangyi gave a lecture, Zhao Min could understand every sentence and word in his ears, but after connecting them together, he felt that the clouds and mountains were surrounded by mist. , completely missing the point.

Now, there must be such things in this so-called women's imperial school, and it immediately caused a headache.

However, from Zhu Han's tone just now, it seems that he has high hopes for that female imperial student, maybe he will be able to see Zhu Han often there in the future, and have more chances to assassinate her.

Zhao Min held the silver name sticker in his hand, thinking while walking.

If you don't go to this women's college, you don't have enough money to spend on yourself. If you don't have money, you will be driven out by the innkeeper to sleep on the street.

Zhao Min thought about it again and again, and felt that he had no other way out, so he could only bite the bullet and inquire about this woman's Taixue.

Maybe my chance to assassinate the dog thief Zhu Han in the future will be in this female imperial school.

"The dog thief Zhu Han, you have brought your own death, then don't blame me for being rude!" Zhao Min thought bitterly.

. . . . . .

Jinling Yingtianfu, Nanshan outside the city.

This place was originally a barren mountain. When the Mongols were stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, they once circled a large area around this Nanshan for hunting outside the city.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to capture Jinling, this large hunting ground near Nanshan was taken over by the government.

It's just that Zhu Han didn't allocate it to the soldiers and the people in Jiangnan according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, but kept it.

The purpose at that time was to set it up as a military academy.

Today, the Daming Royal Military Academy is located in Nanshan outside Jinling City.

The surrounding area is lush with vegetation, and there is only one wide avenue leading to the depths of the woods and mountains.

In the depths of the woods, it was originally a garden built by the Mongolians for hunting and rest.

Today, the garden has been transformed into the Daming Royal Military Academy.

With the sound of horns, it was time for free activities at noon at the Daming Royal Military Academy.

After Luo Guanzhong finished his meal, he walked on the tree-lined avenue of the military academy, holding a colorfully illustrated artillery training manual in his hand, and recited the provisions in it carefully as he walked.

Ever since Luo Guanzhong decided to abandon literature and pursue martial arts in Zhejiang, he came to Jinling Yingtian Mansion by himself.

His teacher, Shi Naian, is now the official minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he also joined the cabinet as a minister of the Dragon of the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.In the Ming Dynasty, Shi Naian's speech was full of weight.

Seeing his original disciple coming to join him, Shi Naian immediately recommended him to the Daming Royal Military Academy.

Shi Naian felt that if his student Luo Guanzhong wanted to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, he couldn't start with a big soldier. It just so happened that the Daming Royal Military Academy Zhu Han prepared was the Hanlin Academy for the future Ming military generals, so he naturally wanted to take his own pride. Disciple Luo Guanzhong arranged to go in.

Because of the recommendation of his teacher Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong's entry into the Daming Royal Military Academy went very smoothly.

Coupled with his young age, he is only in his twenties now, and he just meets the admission criteria of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

And he himself is familiar with literary and historical materials!

He also has a lot of research on the new Confucianism, which can be described as a top talent.

After entering the Daming Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong received unanimously excellent evaluations from all the instructors and generals in the first two assessments.

For Luo Guanzhong...he had already made his mark in the field of generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Not surprisingly, Luo Guanzhong will definitely have a place among the generals of Ming Dynasty in the future.

Moreover, in the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty, the subject that Luo Guanzhong chose to study was the emerging subject that was most valued by the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness the King of England-artillery.

The great hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty was the artillery, who repeatedly made outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

With the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, various artillery technologies developed by leaps and bounds.

For the application of artillery, it has developed into a professional discipline.

As the facilitator of Ming artillery tactics!
Zhu Han naturally wanted to set up artillery as a subject in the Daming Royal Military Academy.

Luo Guanzhong is a person who is familiar with ancient and modern times and can be said to have a super high level of education, so he was naturally selected for the artillery discipline.

Luo Guanzhong lived up to expectations, and he also loved the subject of artillery very much.

Even when Luo Guanzhong is free, when he writes his favorite popular commentary on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he likes to write "Three Cannons Ring" as he writes.

Although after the artillery professional training at the Daming Royal Military Academy, Luo Guanzhong already knew that in the Three Kingdoms era, no one in Wei, Shu and Wu could have gunpowder weapons.

But he couldn't hold back his love for artillery.

Every time I write a popular commentary on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if I don’t add a few words of “a cannon fire”, I always feel that there is something missing. Luo Guanzhong walked on the avenue, while walking, while silently reciting the drill manual of the artillery discipline, which was densely packed All of them are compulsory subjects.

Knowledge ranges from three-pound guns to 48-pound guns, and even 72-pound naval heavy guns. As for why this artillery is measured in pounds, Luo Guanzhong is also at a loss.But as a standard feature of the modern army, it is to strictly implement the code of conduct, regardless of whether it is understood or not, it must be implemented first.

Therefore, although Luo Guanzhong did not understand many of the somewhat obscure "Artillery Drilling Manual", the first principle was to memorize it by heart.

He recited the Artillery Drill Manual as he walked.

Suddenly, without paying attention to the front, he bumped into a person.

"Oh!" Luo Guanzhong almost fell down.

He quickly looked up, only to see a young man wearing a general uniform in front of him.

Behind this young man, there are two big and three rough guards!
Luo Guanzhong took a closer look and saw that the young general in front of him had three gold stars and two sword stripes on his military uniform.

A general at a young age?
Luo Guanzhong was terrified in his heart.

"Who are you?" Zhu Han was stunned by this person who suddenly appeared. If he hadn't practiced martial arts frequently, he might have knocked him down.

"Luo Guanzhong, a first-year student of the Daming Royal Military Academy." Luo Guanzhong said hastily.

Upon hearing this name, Zhu Han suddenly felt that the world is really wonderful.

He heard from Shi Naian that he had a student who wanted to enter the Royal Military Academy.

At that time, Zhu Han waved his hand and gave Shi Naian a special order.

It never occurred to her that the person she specially approved back then was the famous Luo Guanzhong in history.

As a loyal fan of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhu Han did not expect that the great writer Luo Guanzhong would join the army and join him.

When Zhu Han saw Luo Guanzhong in front of him, he saw that he was handsome, of medium build, with a capable spirit all over his body. It was obvious that the three-month training at the Royal Military Academy gave him the original literati aura. It is a resolute military temperament.

"So you are Luo Guanzhong." Zhu Han laughed.

"Have you heard of me? Dare to ask your Excellency?" Luo Guanzhong was a little dazed.

At this time, a middle-aged man flashed out from the side and said to Luo Guanzhong,
"This is His Royal Highness the King of England! Luo Guanzhong, why don't you pay homage quickly!"

When Luo Guanzhong heard that the young man in front of him turned out to be the world-famous King Zhu Han, he immediately became excited.

"In Luo Guanzhong, I met His Royal Highness the King of England." Luo Guanzhong stood at attention and saluted.

The salute was clasping fists. As a symbol of a modernized army, Zhu Han had already ordered that all kneeling salutes be canceled in the Royal Military Academy.

Except for bowing down to the Ming Emperor, everyone else was performing this brand new military salute!

That is to stand upright with your chest up and your head up, and then raise your arms and breastplate in front of your chest, or clasp your fists in salute.

Luo Guanzhong looked at Zhu Han with great admiration.

For him, the two brothers Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are legends of heaven and man.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a powerful person, but such a powerful Ming Dynasty was established in just four years.

Even Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, only entered Guanzhong for three years, and then it took seven years to establish the world.

Although Daming has not completely eradicated local forces such as the remnants of the Mongol and Yuan forces and Chen Youliang, people with a discerning eye already know that the momentum of Daming is like a rainbow, and it will be a matter of time before these separatist forces are wiped out. fierce battle.

Therefore, when Luo Guanzhong saw Zhu Han, the King of Great Ming, he immediately became excited.

It turns out that this is the number one hero of Ming Dynasty!

As a brand-new system of officers and generals, the new army system set up by Zhu Han basically adopts more concise and neat modern officer clothing, but retains the gorgeous decorations, and distinguishes the size of the official position through the gold star badge pattern on the clothing.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's new military uniform was five gold stars!
The military uniform of the prince and prince is four gold stars, but they are not generals, but monarchs.

The real official position of general starts with the general with three gold stars.

There are only a handful of people with the rank of general in the entire Ming Dynasty!
However, there are only the king of England Zhu Han, the founding father Xu Da, the founding father Tang He, and the founding father Zhou Dexing.

There is also His Majesty's cheap father-in-law Chuyang Wang Guo Zixing.
