Chapter 394
Ever since the two of them had an in-depth conversation at the governor's office that day, Yang Mingshi no longer felt the pressure in his heart, and happily took his family to the direction of the capital. She dressed up in disguise and looked quite ordinary.

As for Ertai himself, he locked himself in the study and read Yang Mingshi's brochure for several days, and his heart became more and more heavy, because he finally found out why Yang Mingshi hadn't reported it.

It's really because this matter is too big and too dangerous, if there is a little carelessness, it will be a chaos!
To understand this, you need to understand the strong vitality and tenacious combat effectiveness of the chieftain system. This system was not created overnight, but has a history of more than a thousand years.

The chieftain system itself originated from the jimi policy implemented and completed in Western Hubei and other places during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The jimi prefectures in various places had no close relationship with the imperial court. Controlling, "The Song Dynasty is weak, and the various divisions are good at governing the land, and officials are everywhere,...the power is self-indulgent."

With the development of the Jimi policy itself, at the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the strength of the Jimi prefectures increased greatly, and they were rebellious and impermanent. Therefore, in order to win over the powerful in these places, the Yuan court at that time began to set up chieftains and replaced encirclement and suppression with appeasement. This system lasted until the Ming Dynasty, and 31 chieftains were set up in Enshi alone.

The chieftain is essentially a local tyrant, and after mixing various ethnic groups, it becomes more complicated. However, the chieftain system is more progressive than the past Jimi Prefecture, because the chieftain system has different policies in terms of inheritance, tribute, and recruitment. Stricter control, so this system actually did not have too many problems at the time.

However, nowadays, the power of the chieftain family seems to be getting stronger, especially after the Fuhan army rebellion, there are faint signs of instability, and even the orders of the court have begun to turn a deaf ear. It is unacceptable, so the matter of reforming the land and returning it to the local people was brought to the table.

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves are terrified. They live in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. The chieftain's chaos. We should use the army as the vanguard to treat the symptoms, and use the fundamental reform to cure the root. Only by reforming the soil can we draw the salary from the bottom of the pot. The slaves are grateful to the Holy Spirit Virtue, I hope that the emperor's dragon body will be healthy."

Ertai wrote all his thoughts on the first memorial to Yongzheng, and sent it to the capital together with Xie Enzhe.

It wasn't until the guards took his booklets all the way north that Ertai looked at the booklets and fell into deep thought.

I don't know if it's right or wrong
In the eyes of the people in Nanjing, there are more new things that have appeared in the past two years than in the past 100 years, but correspondingly, there are more and more restricted areas in the city, especially Zijin Mountain, which has almost become synonymous with confidentiality. , There is a regiment of troops stationed there all year round, and ordinary people can't get in at all.

The original Lecture Hall was located at the foot of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, but now it has been reorganized into the Dachu Central Military Academy, and the overall scale has also been expanded to a certain extent, even no less than the nearby Imperial Guards camp.

Zhu Yuyan was wearing a clean and tidy military uniform for recruits, with a cadet rank on his shoulders and a long flintlock gun. He looked very heroic, and there were 150 people who looked like him, all This time, the newly recruited recruits were recruits from the first battalion and the third company.

Dachu Central Army Officer Academy, as the foundation of the entire Ningchu military, also enjoys preferential treatment in all aspects. Not only is its standard very high, but also the military expenses for running the school are very sufficient, and in name, the principal of the military academy It is also the emperor himself who is responsible for it, so it can be said that he is a proper student of the emperor.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuyan signed up, the competitive pressure he faced was also very high. According to the plan of the military academy, there were about 2000 enlisted students in the first phase, but there were more than [-] applicants from various provinces.

The enrollment of so many people has also made the elimination rate of the military academy extremely cruel, and the students who can pass the multiple assessments can be called the real essence.

"The military academy officially starts on the fifth day of May. His Majesty will personally visit the military academy. There are still three days left for you to prepare. I hope that your performance can convince me and His Majesty!"

A dark-faced officer stood in front of the students with his hands behind his back. He looked at the favored ones present, and he was not at all polite. To some extent, in the military academy, the instructor was the king of the military academy.

Zhu Yuyan pursed his lips with a determined expression on his face, and the soldiers beside him also looked the same, no one dared to slacken the slightest slack, because someone had already been kicked out of the military academy by the instructor, this is a real lesson from the past .

"Yes, loyal to His Majesty!"

The students lined up in a neat line, and began to march forward amidst the beat of the drums. Everyone moved in unison and looked ahead. Although there was no so-called murderous aura, the aura was shocking enough.

If it is placed outside, anyone will think that this is a real elite, so even in the Fuhan army, there are very few such uniform drills, let alone the Qing army.

As a retired instructor from the combat unit, He Yunxian knew very well that this was actually the result of a month of intensive training. If he was pulled out, he would definitely be able to fight, but his experience was severely lacking, and his morale was even more questionable.

Of course, He Yunxian also understands that these enlisted students are not ordinary, and it is not wrong to say that they are the favorites of the army, because according to the relevant school system, these enlisted students must first undergo three months of recruit education, and then they will experience three months of non-commissioned officer training. Education, after the half-year basic education is completed, they will be promoted to various professional classes for relevant officer education.

During this process, there will be relevant assessments, and those who fail to meet the standards in the midway assessment will be dismissed.After all the schooling systems are completed, joint exercises will be held, and those who pass the exercise will be assigned to combat units and become low-level officers.

In order to train these officers, the military academies have spent considerable resources on this. There are sufficient supplies of muskets, artillery, and logistics. Therefore, these cadets who have been educated by the military academies cannot be regarded as ordinary soldiers.

On the fifth day of May, the Dachu Central Military Academy officially held its opening ceremony. Ning Yu also wore a neat military uniform, surrounded by many generals from the Privy Council, and presided over the ceremony as the principal.

A total of 100 students were divided into four student battalions and lined up on the playground. In addition, there were more than [-] instructors, led by the chief education officer of the military academy, who also lined up. The emperor on the high platform.

"Soldiers, since the First Uprising in Wuchang, we have fought back and forth with the Han Army all the way, overcoming thorns and thorns, to create the current situation. From the lecture hall to the Central Military Academy, we have witnessed bloody history!"

Ning Yu's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through a simple loudspeaker, "Now, the establishment of the Central Military Academy is established for the Northern Expedition, for the unification of China, and even for all the sons and daughters of China in the future!"

"It is your duty to be a soldier and fight a war. Loyalty to the emperor and serving the country is your true background!"

"Loyal to His Majesty, loyal to Da Chu!"

The neat and unified cheers passed over like a wave, and the scenes made up of the fiery red military uniforms became the scenery in everyone's memory.

After the ceremony, Ning Yu had a dinner with all the instructors alone, which was naturally a great honor for the instructors. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to have dinner with the emperor.

Of course, this is also a measure of Ning Yu to buy people's hearts. Through these small actions, the loyalty of the instructors to the emperor can be raised to the bottom of the bottom, which also makes Ning Yu's control over the military academy deeper.

Between the toasts and the cups, everyone had a good time. Although there is no extravagance like a palace banquet, there is still a bit of heroism in the army, and Ning Yu has held the army for a long time in the past, so he will not be unfamiliar with this atmosphere .

Ning Yu held the wine glass in his hand, and with a bit of drunkenness on his face, he said loudly, "He Yun is here first?"

He Yunxian, who has been unknown among the instructors, was shocked immediately. He stood up quickly and said cautiously: "Report to Your Majesty, He Yunxian is here."

"I still remember that you are a veteran who has been in the army since Changsha. Now that you are an instructor, I am relieved." Ning Yu nodded, and the alcohol on his face became stronger.

He Yun straightened his body first, lowered his head slightly, and said humbly: "If it weren't for the Han army, I would have starved to death. I will always remember your majesty's kindness, and I will never forget it!"

Ning Yu was a little silent, "I have been fighting for several years, but I don't know how many people can drink and have fun with me." The emotion in the tone is beyond words.

"It is an honor to die for Da Chu and His Majesty!"

All the instructors stood up. They were all veterans of the Fuhan Army, and they were all very elite. For the plan of the Central Military Academy, they got out of the first-line troops and joined the military academy. The military officers from the martial arts hall in the past formed the current team of instructors.

Ning Yu nodded lightly and said: "In the military academy, you are the main factor in cultivating students, so what kind of talents you can get in the future has a lot to do with you. You can ask for anything, and I will not treat you badly. .”

He Yun heard Ning Yu's words first, and then said loudly: "I have nothing else to ask, but that I can be your Majesty's pawn on the day of the Northern Expedition in the future!"

"May I be your Majesty's pawn during the Northern Expedition!"

For the entire Ningchu right now, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Northern Expedition one day, and it has become a symbol in the army. Only the Northern Expedition can witness all the honor.

"Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, I promise you"

Ning Yu drank the wine in the glass, but the whole person seemed to have fallen into a long-lasting intoxication.

Zhu Yuyan was a little nervous and excited, because he had just received the news that the emperor was going to summon him.

You know, this is the first person summoned by the emperor alone since he came to the military academy, especially a student soldier, which undoubtedly made other students feel extremely envious while being surprised.

As long as those who are valued by the emperor, needless to say about their future prospects!
But only Zhu Yuyan knew in his heart that there was probably only one reason why he was summoned, and that was because he was a descendant of Zhu Shunshui. As for why the emperor valued his identity so much, he was also a little worried.

Strictly speaking, among the great Confucians in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shunshui was not particularly famous. People like Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, and Wang Fuzhi were valued by the emperor. It is still reflected in Japan, and the domestic influence is not particularly large, let alone his descendants.

Of course, no matter what Zhu Yuyan guessed in his heart, once he was summoned by the emperor, there was naturally no room for him to refuse.He could only obediently follow the guards beside the emperor, all the way towards the principal's office.

"Zhu Yuyan, it is your honor to be summoned by Your Majesty, but don't be too nervous. Whatever His Majesty asks you, you can just answer. Don't make up your own mind."

"Yes."

Shen Qingyuan is the new deputy director of the attendant's room. During this time, he has been dealing with some things with Ning Yu, and his temperament is also extremely gentle and delicate, so he always feels like a spring breeze, but Zhu Yuyan has a lot of good feelings in his heart.

As the two walked forward, Shen Qingyuan didn't say anything else except for this one pointing word, but it was miraculous that at this moment Zhu Yuyan really felt that he was not so nervous anymore.

When Zhu Yuyan entered the principal's office, Shen Qingyuan turned and left, and gently closed the door.

"The minister Zhu Yuyan greets His Majesty."

Zhu Yuyan knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to really look up, after all, with his current status, he was far from the emperor, and if he didn't pay attention, it would be a crime of disrespect.

Ning Yu smiled lightly, her voice was extremely clear, "Zhu Yuyan, I thought you didn't want to come to see me."

"Your Majesty forgive me. I have never thought of this before."

Zhu Yuyan was taken aback. Strictly speaking, he was really afraid that Ning Yu would be serious with him. Once he was investigated, he could be charged with bad intentions if he applied for the current Central Military Academy in his capacity.

"Hmph, of course I know what you're thinking, otherwise I wouldn't be seeing you today. You know, you've been under the control of the Military Intelligence Department since you got off the boat."

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, but what he said made Zhu Yuyan break out in a cold sweat.

"I also ask Your Majesty to forgive my crimes. I am terrified. I also ask Your Majesty to forgive my crimes. I am willing to return to Dongying and never set foot in China again."

"Hmph! Make your own decision. I have no other intentions when I see you today. I just hope that you can understand that the Northern Expedition is not a matter of your Zhu family alone. Since you have joined my Fuhan Army, you can only serve my allegiance to Great Chu in the future." ,Understand?"

Ning Yu snorted coldly, then stood up, then walked in front of Zhu Yuyan, looked at him and said in a low voice: "Your ancestor went to Dongying not for his personal safety, but for my Huaxia's orthodoxy. Now that you have returned to the homeland of China, you need to understand what is a hometown person, a hometown soul."
