Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1996 Inside and Outside the Palace ([-]) Pragmatic Parenting
In the final analysis, temporarily increasing the artillery establishment of the "Japanese Expedition Army" was only a matter of money, which was obviously a relatively easy type for Jinghua at this time. As the secretary-general, Liu Xin quickly proposed a highly feasible solution Approach——With the first batch of artillery students from Dingnan Military Academy who are about to graduate as the backbone, four new independent artillery associations will be established. Organizationally, they will be directly under the military command department, and will be reorganized and distributed after the end of the Pingwa War.

There is a "new institution" here: Dingnan Military Academy.Yes, almost at the same time when the Daming Royal Military Academy was established, Gao Wushi transferred some technicians from the Jinghua Craftsman Academy who were engaged in firearms research to Dingnan, together with the generals who had performed well in the garrison competitions for more than ten years. , formed the Dingnan Military Academy.

It should be said that Dingnan Military Academy is more comprehensive than the Daming Royal Military Academy, because the Daming Royal Military Academy is essentially an army military academy, while Dingnan Military Academy is divided into the Army and the Navy. Military Academy Army Academy and Dingnan Military Academy Naval Academy.

At the same time, the arrangement of teaching subjects in these two colleges is more detailed.For example, the Army and the Naval Academy respectively have the direction of combat command, weapons research, logistics support and even service development.

In terms of specific subjects, army command is divided into infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, and luggage, etc.; Artillery, minelaying, repair and other elective majors can be said to be very advanced and professional.

Now that we are talking about the Naval Academy, let me introduce a few more words.

Regardless of land or sea students, Dingnan Military Academy provides allowances, board and lodging, clothing, books, stationery and other daily and school supplies by the academy.The school stipulates that freshmen must pass the exam, physical examination, and trial study; relatives must also issue a dry certificate and a gentleman's bond, declaring that they are innocent, not sent to a foreign country, and I do not believe in cults; during the study period, they are not allowed to resign and Marriage, if you gather a crowd to make trouble or play truant in fear of difficulties, you will be expelled and you will have to pay the allowance and the penalty will be doubled.

Among them, the students of the Naval Academy also have some relatively unique regulations. For example, every two or three years, the academy arranges instructors to lead the students to practice overseas on a training ship, and the students will be assessed and graded on the way.The whole course of study takes six to seven years, and the graduates select the best candidates for internship in the Liangyang Fleet.

There are three levels of graduation recommendation for college students, corresponding to excellent, good, and qualified.Unqualified students will not be recommended, and need to stay in school at their own expense to continue their studies, or take the initiative to handle the withdrawal and pay the full allowance.For the identification of unqualified students, the college and the Liangyang Fleet need to be recognized at the same time, and the college should not make a separate judgment to prevent possible suppression.

The above are only partial regulations, but it can be seen that the "institutionalization" that Gao Yushi has always insisted on has been well implemented at all levels in southern Xinjiang, which can be described as high standards and strict requirements.

This is not because Gao Yushi deliberately ran his "own" military academy better than the Daming Royal Military Academy, but because the imperial government's education is a reform, and there will be various restrictions that make it impossible to make too much progress.But in southern Xinjiang, it is different. No matter what you do, it is a blank sheet of paper for painting. He is highly pragmatic and can make a decision with one word. There is nothing that can constrain him. Of course, he can do whatever he wants.

Closer to home, with graduates from the Artillery Department of Dingnan Military Academy as the backbone to build four independent artillery units to coordinate to Japan, this proposal actually has the meaning of Liu Xin's initiative to give in.

The reason is simple. After the establishment of these four independent artillery associations, they were directly under the command of the Southern Border Garrison Command. This force is actually under the command of Huang Zhiting, and in the future it can be regarded as under the command of Gao Yuan.

As for the reason why Liu Xin is so talkative, apart from the fact that she doesn't want to have a quarrel with Huang Zhiting, there is another point that she thinks that Gao Yushi sent him and Lin Langqi to the west to "rescue the water". Naturally, we have to make some representations.

This is actually a wonderful misunderstanding, because she originally thought that Gao Pragmatic Build and Lin Langqi just wanted to build a powerful "Forest Army", but she would not easily put this force into actual combat.In fact, although Gao Yushi really wanted a "quick response force", he didn't treat them like vases just for display.

Elite soldiers can indeed be trained, but if you want a "peerless weapon", you have to see blood to quench it before you can achieve it.

Although Gao Yushi wants to understand that there may be a beautiful misunderstanding in this matter, as long as the result is good.In life, it is good to know many things, but it is not necessarily good to be clear.

It was not too early to negotiate the time, so Gao Wushi called Gao Yuan to his study after dinner and asked him how he was thinking about last night's problem.

Last night, Gao Yushi asked Gao Yuan a lot of questions. At that time, he asked: "What is the current political situation in Bago? Myanmar has been defeated for so many years, and the indemnity has basically been paid off. What is the situation now?
The two parties can maintain a delicate balance under the current situation, so once the guards of the two towns leave Bago, will there be any changes?If there will be any changes, then where did the two towns send troops, and is there any connection between this change? "

Most of these issues are political. For Gao Yuan, who is only 13 years old, it is not easy to understand.The reason why Gao Yushi wanted to ask was more to inspire him to start thinking on a deeper level, and it didn't necessarily require him to give an eye-catching answer.

However, Gao Yuan attaches great importance to his father's problem, he has been thinking seriously all day, and now he has really come to some opinions.

He replied: "Pegu's current political situation is relatively stable. King Xia Muming (the former leader of the Bagu Mon Rebel Army Abrabang) is loyal and reliable, and he respects our Jinghua Advisory Group and the garrison.

However, it is reported that the conflict between the Mon and the Burmese has not been resolved, and has even intensified in recent years, causing many Burmese to flee north and enter the Burmese rule.Hai'er has never been to the place, and he doesn't know what it is. "

Gao Wushi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "It's not bad for you to have this understanding. As for the growing conflict between Bangladesh and Myanmar, it's okay to tell you that, it's what Jinghua did on purpose...you can think about the reason."

Gao Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Is it to make both of them ask me, Jinghua?"

"Yes." Gao Wushi was quite satisfied, nodded his head and said: "These two tribes are local big families in Burma. Before the war between Yunnan and Burma, the Burmese were originally dominant. After the war, the Burmese army lost a lot due to the defeat of the Burmese king. The strength of the Burmese tribe It has declined, but still has a certain advantage in terms of population.

Therefore, Jinghua supported the Mon people in the Bago Kingdom to suppress the Burmese. On the one hand, it weakened the strength of the Burmese, and on the other hand, it further deepened the conflict between the two ethnic groups.As a result, the Mon people will have to rely on me even more, while the Bamar people will flee to Burma and seek the protection of the King of Myanmar.

However, Myanmar has 20 years of indemnities for the defeat of Daming in installments, and many important domestic resources are controlled by the imperial court and our Jinghua. This slowed down the speed at which the Burmese recovered their strength, and gradually smoothed out the strength gap between the Mon and the Burmese.

Up to now, the strength of the two ethnic groups is basically equal, and the Ming Dynasty will also withdraw most of the troops stationed in Myanmar to Yunnan.This is the reason why Weifu asked you last night under this delicate balance, whether there will be any changes when the soldiers of the two towns of the Bagu garrison are transferred from Bagu... Have you thought about the answer? "

Gao Yuan thought about it for a day, but he didn't expect it to be so deep, but now his father seems to have caught some clues, and he pondered: "After the war between Yunnan and Burma, the Bago Kingdom was rebuilt in southern Burma, and it was actually controlled by me, Jinghua. Parts of northern Myanmar were recovered by the imperial court, while the king of Myanmar still controlled central and northern parts of Myanmar.

At that time, the imperial garrisons were mainly in northern Myanmar, but there were also a small number of garrisons in central Myanmar. Similarly, we also left a small number of garrisons in Jinghua to maintain the suppression of Myanmar together with the official army.Years have passed, and it seems that both the imperial court and us have withdrawn the garrisons in Burma and China... My father asked, could it be that the Burmese king has changed something? "

Gao Wushi smiled, and said: "Is it important whether he has any abnormalities? I ask you for my father, if Jinghua needs him to have abnormalities, what should I do?"

Gao Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't quite believe that this was a question his father would ask.

This is not surprising. In Gao Yuan's eyes, the image of his father is not only always great, bright, and correct, but also undoubtedly the embodiment of justice.Since he is the incarnation of justice, then how could it be... Gao Yuan even wondered for a moment whether he had misunderstood his father's meaning.

However, Gao Wushi seemed to be proficient in mind reading, and asked again with a smile: "Yuan'er, I ask you for my father: what is justice?"

Gao Yuan was stunned, as if he felt that this question was a bit insulting to his IQ, but he couldn't find a particularly suitable answer for a while.That feeling was as if someone suddenly asked him: Why is one plus one equal to two?

This...does this need to be asked, needs to be answered?

However, facing his bewildered son, Gao Yushi's expression became more and more serious, and he asked slowly again: "What is justice?"

Gao Yuan always felt that the answer to his father's question might overturn what he had learned, but now he can only quote the scriptures and answer: ""Xunzi" said: "I don't know, I don't have justice, I want to be rich, I'm a common man. Those who also."

Having said that, this sentence actually does not directly answer what justice is.After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he also felt that this answer might not satisfy his father.

Gao Wushi didn't comment immediately, but watched his son frown more and more as he thought about it, as if he was forcing him to think.

However, even though the time passed bit by bit, Gao Yuan still couldn't come to a conclusion until he saw sweat on his forehead, so he had to bow his head and ask for advice: "My child is stupid, please give me some advice from my father."

Gao Wushi nodded, and said in an unusually calm tone: "Justice is the benefit of the strong."

Gao Yuan raised his head, his eyes widened: "Justice is only the benefit of the strong?"

"Do you have any questions?" Gao Yushi's face was a little half-smile: "If you have any, you might as well bring it up."

Gao Yuan's breathing became obviously heavier, and he asked, "May I ask my father, in the past when barbarians such as the Huns, Turks, and Mongols invaded the Central Plains, who was just?"

Gao Wushi asked back: "Who won in the end?"

Gao Yuan raised his chin slightly: "The Huns and Turks have been destroyed for a long time, but my Central Plains is still standing, so I, the Han, have won. As for Mongolia, hmph... Can Yuan has been defeated by his father and has no choice but to flee to the Western Regions. Once again invaded the border, but it was expected to be a dying struggle, when my father finished dealing with Korea, Japan and other matters, and went west to pursue him again, it would be the time when our Han people won the victory!"

Gao Wushi didn't say much, just nodded and said: "That's it. Since the Han people won, the Han people are naturally the party of justice."

Gao Yuan was taken aback, frowned, and said, "It's natural that this is the result at the moment, but if what my father said is the basis, then if they win in the end, these aggressive barbarians can also be regarded as the righteous side?"

Gao Wushi asked: "If they win, there will be no Han people in the world, and they will occupy and rule the Central Plains for a long time. Then do you think they will preach that they are the righteous side? If there is such a time, who can stand up?" How about going against them?"

"There are more than two races in the world. Is there no one who speaks the truth?" Gao Yuan seemed a little excited.

Gao Yushi was very calm, with a look of disdain even: "If the Han people are gone, who is interested in upholding justice for the Han people, saying that justice is on the side of the Han people? What's more, if the Han people are gone, what is the meaning of this justice?"

Gao Yuan was stunned, and after a while, his eyes were a little loose and he said: "If so, what is kingly way? What is domineering? Is there any difference between kingly way and domineering?"

Gao Wushi reached out and patted Gao Yuan's cheek lightly, and said, "Yuan'er, whether you are king or domineering, it's not the end, it's just the means... Victory is the end and justice."

"Really?" Gao Yuan asked in a daze.

Gao Wushi sighed softly, and said, "Remember, only the victor can define justice. As for the means, its function lies in whether it can make people win, and how long it can take people to grasp this victory... a year, Ten years, a hundred years, or thousands of years."

Gao Yuan stayed for a while, his eyes finally became focused, he looked at his father seriously, and asked: "Father, what do you mean, if you want to always be on the side of justice, you must always remain the winner, That is to always keep yourself strong... the strongest?"

Gao Wushi didn't answer, but instead asked, "What does it mean to be powerful?"

Gao Yuan was taken aback again, and said with a trace of hesitation: "Naturally, the army is strong and the horse is strong, and the world is invincible."

"When Emperor Taizu raised his army, the one who was truly strong and strong was probably Meng Yuan." Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Strong soldiers and strong horses are naturally a type of strength, but strength is by no means limited to strong soldiers and strong horses. One word is the law of the world'. Can you say that this is not a kind of power?"

When he said this, Gao Yuan's expression became a little more relaxed, and he nodded, "Yes, yes, of course."

Seeing that he had realized something, Gao Wushi closed the topic and said, "Back to the previous question, your mother transferred the soldiers from the two towns of the Bagu Garrison to the south to station in the south, and put on the appearance that she was about to use them to go to Arakan. , do you think there is any intention?"

Gao Yuan's eyes were fixed: "The king of Yinmen has changed!"
