Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 512 Coincidentally (600 monthly tickets plus updates)
The establishment of the martial arts hall has been finalized, and the next step is the issue of site selection.

The martial arts hall should not be in the capital, nor should it be too far away from the capital. After all, Liu Hongjian didn't have time to go back and forth.

And the cabinet ministers have mixed feelings in their hearts. Now that the matter has been decided, they don't bother to care about where the martial arts hall is built.

Several uncles left one after another, and finally Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of War, returned home.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, and Chongzhen himself had no good ideas, Liu Hongjian simply made a decision. Since they were all building schools, he decided to build the martial arts hall in Xishan.

It's just that Xishan is not big at all. To the west is Nuoda's Xishan Camp, next to Wuding River is the new site of the Engineering College, and to the east is the Ordnance Institute and various workshops, and there are fertile land outside.

Liu Hongjian didn't want to build the martial arts hall in the farmland. After all, it was the first imperial martial arts lecture hall in Ming Dynasty. The folk studies were all built on the side of the mountain, so it couldn't be built like a martial arts hall. Same as the farmhouse.

Also out of safety considerations, Liu Hongjian and Chongzhen agreed to move the Xishan camp to the north, giving up the Fengshui treasure to build a martial arts hall.

However, there were 15 new and old soldiers in the Xishan Daying Camp, which was too involved. In the end, Li Banghua and other cabinet ministers had to be called over again, and the Beijing Camp was divided into two after discussion.

One part was moved to Shahe in the north, and [-] troops were stationed to defend the northern part of the capital, which was called Shahe Camp.

The other moved to the Lugou River in the south and stationed [-] troops. It was called Fengtai Camp.

It's just that whether it's building a civil school, building a martial arts hall, or moving the Beijing camp, it's not a small project. It's impossible to count on the original thousand people in the Ordnance Institute to complete it in two to three years.

Regarding this, Chongzhen was very domineering, and with a wave of his hand, he recruited another five thousand civilian husbands!

He was more or less eager for quick success. After all, he couldn't wait. He could wait in his heart, but his body no longer allowed it. A few months ago, he had a surgical operation to remove a lesion, but now the lesion has settled in his left shoulder.

Every night, the pain is so unbearable that I can't sleep, and the spirit is also very bad, and the gray hair is getting more and more.

"Your majesty needs to pay more attention to your health. Now that Ming Dynasty is flourishing, don't worry about state affairs all the time. Take everything into consideration." Liu Hongjian glanced at Chongzhen and said with unbearable concern.

Fatty can't eat in one bite, and things have to be done one by one. If you want to change a country in Nuo Da, you really can't act too hastily.

"Oh, I'm used to worrying, and when I'm free, I always feel that there's something missing. Over the past year, I've really worked hard to help you." When there were no outsiders, Chongzhen always called Liu Hongjian.

Chongzhen knew that Liu Hongjian really cared about him, unlike those courtiers, although on the surface they talked nicely, but in secret how many people wanted him to die.

He also knew this kid's temperament, if not for his urging, this kid would probably be able to sleep at home every day.

"Why is Gu Aiqing still here? What's the matter?" Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian were chatting about homework, when they suddenly found someone sitting in a corner of the room, they couldn't help raising their brows.

Since the discussion this time was about military affairs, Chongzhen specially ordered two military ministers to come and listen, and Gu Jia was one of them. This person sat in the corner of the room without saying a word, and Chongzhen didn't notice it for a while.

"Your Majesty, my lord, I... I want to work in this martial arts school!" Gu Jia stammered, and then said very firmly.

The martial arts school that Liu Hongjian described just now, I heard that Gu Jia, the left servant of the Ministry of War, rushed to it. Although he was born as a Jinshi, he had long since lost interest in Confucianism.

On the contrary, he especially likes to study military books and conduct military affairs, but now it is not his turn to lead troops to fight.

He also knew very well about the situation of the Ming army, but because he spoke lightly, he could only sit back and watch the changes.

But now the proposal of Prince Anguo happened to coincide with him, and it was even more thoughtful than he thought. He wanted to join this special group, but he was worried that Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian would not allow it.

Therefore, he has been sitting in the corner thinking over and over again, and now Chongzhen asked him, but he couldn't care about it anymore.

"This..." Chongzhen was stunned by the sudden and weird request from the Minister of War.

The minister of the Ministry of War is a senior official of the third rank, almost the pinnacle of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also qualified to join the cabinet. Chongzhen did not expect this servant to be so abrupt.

"The resident instructor of the Martial Arts Hall must be white. Does Mr. Gu know what this means?" Liu Hongjian had some impressions of Gu Jia.

He had dealt with Gu Jia when he went to Shanhaiguan last year, and among all the officials, he was one of the rare people who broke away from low-level interests.

"Your Majesty knows that I have studied Wuzi, Liutao, Wei Liaozi and the second grandson's Art of War, and also have some research on firearm warfare. If Your Majesty and the Prince agree, I can resign from the official position and focus on teaching in the martial arts school. .” Gu Jia bowed and continued to play.

If Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was here, he would probably jump his feet in anger. Does the Ministry of War make you disgusted like that?Why don't you be an official and want to be a white teacher?
But people are different. When the state of mind reaches a certain level, when encountering a dream that one's heart yearns for, one always wants to try it. Gu Jia is such a person.

When he was young, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics, all to prove that he had the ability, but when he really did it, he felt that it was ordinary and the officialdom was too chaotic. That was not his pursuit.

"Leaving aside the art of war, I ask you, who is Daming's enemy now?" Liu Hongjian thought this man was interesting, and couldn't help asking the question he asked Xiao Zheng a few months ago.

He wanted to test Gu Jia's view of the big picture. After all, if he was teaching how to march and fight, let alone other things, Lin He in the barracks could teach firearms, Kong Erfool could teach artillery, and there were Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao in cavalry charge...

Although these newly-emerged generals have little culture, their experience is obtained from real swords and guns, which is much more practical than the art of war on paper.

What Daming lacked was someone who could see the situation clearly like Zheng Sen. It was a matter of strategy, not specific tactics.

"I look at the current Daming. Within the four seas, although there are Chahar in the north and Zhang Xianzhong in the south, they are nothing to be afraid of. If there is someone who can be called an enemy by Daming..." Gu Jia paused at this point .

"The Zheng family in the south is first of all one, and Zheng Zhilong has a large army but has two heads, which is really a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

Furthermore, overseas, the Dutch Kingdom in Ryukyu, Franji and Francha in Nanyang are all enemies of Ming Dynasty. I heard that the artillery on the warships of the Dutch Kingdom is not only powerful, but also has a longer range than the ship guns of Ming Dynasty. This must be prevented..."

When Gu Jia spoke, she still bowed her waist and did not dare to raise her head, and she was eloquent when talking about overseas affairs.

He knew that if the prince could nod his head to talk about the martial arts hall, it would be almost indistinguishable, and the question just now was likely to be an assessment.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu has talent in foreign affairs. It's a pity to stay in the Ministry of War. The Martial Arts Hall just lacks talents in this field. Why don't you..." Liu Hongjian glanced at the expressionless Chongzhen and said.
