Destiny Only Han

"Military school?"

"Is this also teachable?"

Liu Bang had a surprised look on his face, as if there must be something crazy between you and my father and son.

After all, in ancient times, this was a very sensitive topic.

Open-minded like Liu Bang, he also extracted all the content about military strategists and art of war from the "Encyclopedia of the Han Dynasty" compiled by Liu Ying, and hid the manuscript in the forbidden palace to keep it secret!
Of course, this is just not to publicize the art of war. As for the private teaching of apprenticeship, or family inheritance, it is left alone.

Therefore, Liu Ying felt that this was the drawback of the unification of the feudal dynasty.

Why is there a hundred schools of thought contending?

It is because the countries are intertwined, and none of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States period can brutally interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and prohibit the other party from appointing their own "defectors".

For example Zhang Yi.

Coincidentally, the same is true in Europe.

Like Columbus.

Columbus was a Genoese, later Italian.

He has always had an ideal, which is to find a direct route from Europe to Asia.

He first looked for the Genoa Chamber of Commerce, but was driven away...

Because Genoa makes money from the Strait of Gibraltar, if there is a new sea route, their profits will be damaged.

The second Columbus looked for was the Governor of Venice, and then he was driven away...

The Venetians hooked up with Luluogou, and lived by pointing to the land passage between Eurasia and the new sea route, which would inevitably damage their interests.

Columbus then went looking for Hair Country, and as expected, he was driven away again...

As a filial son of God, Old Louis and Luluo secretly have a secret covenant, and Luluo will pay a certain amount of land commercial tax to the hairy countrymen...

In desperation, Columbus found Britain, which was not yet an empire on which the sun never sets. Perhaps Columbus was in a daze, and even offered the terms of his offer to Genoa to the Henry family. The naval commander of the Henry family was something an Italian could do. ?

So I wrote the defense first, then fought, and finally ran away...

Then Columbus went to find Shinra, who was neither holy nor Roman, so he was driven away again...

At that time, Shinra was busy fighting with the Italians. By the way, he took care of the Pope's thorn, so he didn't care about opening up new waterways. However, Maximilian I was a kind person. He wrote a letter of introduction and sent Columbus to the His in-laws, that is, Queen Elizabeth I of Spain.

Six years later, Columbus set sail and opened the age of great voyages.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you switch to a certain unified dynasty, with regard to the conditions offered by Columbus, I am afraid that as soon as you open your mouth, there will be no people...

So Liu Ying shook her head and said:

"of course can."

"Everyone knows about soldiers, but everyone doesn't know about soldiers..."

"Mencius once said that the people of the region do not use the boundaries of the border, the country does not use the danger of mountains and streams, and the power of the world does not use the benefits of military revolution..."

"In the end, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

"For example, the demise of the Tyrant Qin Dynasty has nothing to do with running a military academy..."

"Besides, just as Yan Ze Chiduo, the governor of Zhisu Nei, said to me a few days ago, the Han Kingdom is undergoing major changes unseen in a century... Among other things, the garrisons stationed in the various capital guards also need a large number of troops. Qualified mid-level and lower-level officers come to command, and they can't quell a small rebellion of hundreds of people, so we have to use famous generals like Jianghou and Wuyanghou, right?"

"Are they two famous generals?" Liu Bang curled his lips in disdain.

Liu Ying thought back on their level, and felt that what Liu Bang said was somewhat reasonable.

Looking at the entire Chu-Han War, Zhou Bo, Fan Kui and others were all brilliant when they were fighting with the wind, but when the army was defeated, they hardly took any measures to turn the tide. That's why Liu Bang said that the generals were hunting dogs that day. This reason.

After all, that's the nature of dogs...

"It's not important." Liu Ying tapped her index finger on the railing and said with a smile, "I'm just using the two of them as an example. So is the Marquis of Huaiyin a famous general?"

Liu Bang nodded without hesitation.

Credit is credit, and fault is fault. He will never write down the merits of others because of his personal likes and dislikes, especially Han Xin is still one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty handpicked by him, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a famous general!
So Liu Ying raised the corner of her mouth and recalled:

"The last time I led the army to fight in Hexi, I invited the Marquis of Huaiyin to be a military counselor, and then there were many other disciples who went out with the army. As a result, when they were training the army, they almost pissed off the Marquis of Huaiyin..."

"Later, I didn't believe in evil, and I was selected among them again during the Western Expedition to Southern Liaoning, and then I almost died of anger..."

"But it's normal to think about it."

"After all, most of their abilities come from the precepts and deeds of their incompetent father..."

"The honorable sons who have served in the army for many years look like this, let alone those soldiers who only train for one or two months every year!"

"Could it be that in the future, if I want to produce one or two more famous generals, I still need to rely on a lottery-like model?"

"So since then, I have been thinking about the military academy."

"Although those who come from a professional class may not be able to become famous generals, after all, commanding operations is an art, which mainly depends on talent, but at least after undergoing systematic training, a military school student can become a qualified mid-level and lower-level officer!"

Liu Bang squeezed his chin and dropped a lot of beards, which were no longer considered beautiful. He was silent for a long time, and finally said in full agreement: "What you said is also reasonable. Since you think so, then do it first. As for If others have opinions, let them come to Naigong!"

At this moment, his domineering side leaked, and he was no longer the old ranger who was fooling around before.

Liu Ying smiled all over her face, and a sentence slowly appeared in her heart.

An old house where a treasure!
Liu Bang's so-called other people who have opinions naturally refer to domestic military nobles and many middle-class people with middle titles.

Today's Han Dynasty still maintains the [-]th-class military merit system. That is to say, many middle- and lower-level officers in the army are mainly those whose titles are above the third rank. They are soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime. Coincidentally, he can also be selected as a low-level official like the head of the pavilion.

If a military academy is established, it means that the army has begun the process of professionalization, and the middle and lower ranks of officers will inevitably be served by military academy students, and among these people, not all of them may have titles above the third rank.

And many mid-level officers, such as Baijiang and Tuen Zhang, are generally around 30 years old. They are asked to start literacy in the lecture hall, and then go to the military academy to study until they get their graduation certificates and return to the army to become junior officers. It will take at least three or four years in the end, and for some with a low level of education, it will even take seven or eight years...

This must be impossible.

Therefore, those veterans who have participated in previous wars, and then accumulated credits to obtain land, and then became local tyrants, will definitely have opinions in their hearts.

The crux of the problem is that under the military merit system, the powerful are not as easy to control as the later landlord class.

Therefore, this is why Liu Bang said that if anyone has an opinion, he should go to him.

As the emperor who single-handedly established the Han Kingdom, although Liu Bang has abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, he still possesses supreme prestige, which is enough to subdue any discordant voices in the country!

..............................

Ten days later, Changle Palace, outside Xuanshi Hall.

Cao Shen, who was leading hundreds of officials to review the papers, suddenly received a summons from Liu Ying, so he came in a hurry, but when he was taking off his shoes at the gate of the hall, he was stopped by the Bank of China rushing from the other side.

"Xiangguo, please follow me, His Majesty has moved to the imperial study..."

Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, although he was a little surprised, he still told Bank of China to go to the imperial study room behind him.

After all, according to the tradition of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the country has something to do, it is actually the monarch who goes to the prime minister to discuss it. Liu Ying, the second generation emperor, is already very unruly for a hero of his generation, and now he is not in the main hall when he is summoned. The study room is even more inconsistent with etiquette.

But there is no way, after all, it is not the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Han Dynasty, and the imperial power is supreme!

In a short while, in the imperial study room, Cao Shen, who had only footwear on his feet, rushed away, and the expression on his face became more and more puzzled.

"Greetings to the Supreme Emperor, greetings to His Majesty..."

"I've seen Xiangguo..."

"I have seen King Yan..."

Cao Shen's doubts were naturally caused by Lu Wan.

But after Lu Wan greeted him, she sat back in her original seat again with a dark face, as if everyone owed him money.

Liu Ying waved her hand to signal Cao Shen to sit down, and said with a smile, "How is the initial test? Is there any change in the pass rate compared with previous years?"

Cao Shen leaned forward and said: "Return to Your Majesty, although there are still some test papers that have not been reviewed, judging from the current situation, it is the same as in previous years, about six out of ten..."

Liu Ying nodded lightly: "That's okay, but we might as well lower the standards... Now the statistics of Lingnan have come out, and there are 600 more people than we expected before."

"Observe the order." Cao Shen bowed his hands, but still looked at Liu Ying.

Sure enough, Liu Ying went on to say: "Well, I'm going to split up Dahan Public School and transform it into a school with different majors... This is a proposal written by me. Take a look. If you have no other opinions, let's promulgate it to the world. "

Cao Shen took it, glanced at it hastily, and murmured softly:

"Imperial College of Technology, Imperial Grammar University, Imperial University of Finance and Economics, Royal Maritime University, Royal Medical University... Chang'an Normal University, Chang'an University of Architecture and Engineering, Lanchi University of Water Conservancy Engineering..."

"Huh? Imperial Army Officer University, Imperial Army Lecture Hall..."

He raised his head and looked at Liu Ying, full of doubts: "Your Majesty, is this a bit repetitive? There is already a military officer college, why is there a lecture hall? And the tuition fee of the lecture hall is too expensive, right? 20 a year Money? How can Qianshou afford it?"

As the Prime Minister of the Han Empire, Liu Ying had naturally told him a little bit about his plans to build a military academy.

Liu Ying shook her head:
"Who said that the martial arts hall recruits common people's children?"

"The Imperial Army Officer University is the college that recruits people from all over the world, and the martial arts hall is mainly used for further education by the children of meritorious officials. After systematic study, they are recommended to the military academy. It is normal that the tuition fee is higher."

"It's the same as the tuition fee of [-] yuan a year at a grammar school."

"After all, the way of heaven has more damage than it can make up for..."

Cao Shen looked at Liu Bang and saw that although he was expressionless, he was obviously acquiescing, so he cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I will do it..."

"Don't go in a hurry." Liu Bang called Cao Shen who got up and was about to leave, and put on a smiling face: "Since the review of papers is coming to an end, you, the Prime Minister, might as well leave it to others... More important things to you!"

Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, then bowed and saluted: "Please make it clear, the Supreme Emperor."

Liu Bang looked at Lu Wan, who had a dark face and said nothing, and said to Cao Shen with a smile: "Princess Yan Wang is over the age of Ji, with a dignified appearance, she can be an emperor's wife... Besides, this marriage was also arranged by the wife and the emperor before his death." ...So, you go and ask Tai Bu to count an auspicious day, and then come to ask for marriage..."

At this moment, why did Cao Shen understand Lu Wan's expression.

As Fengpei's hero, although he and Lu Wan had close personal relationships, they knew each other more or less. As a slave to a daughter, even if her daughter married the emperor, Liu Ying already had several relationships before that. Lu Wan must be very reluctant to have a woman and an heir.

But for this kind of thing, it is obvious that Lu Wan's words don't count.

After all, this marriage was decided by Queen Yan who found the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor at the time, and everyone in the government and the public knew about it, so naturally they couldn't go back on their word!
At the beginning when I asked you to propose marriage, you disagreed, the job should be... Cao Shen sneered invisibly, but very modestly cupped his hands and said: "He Xi Taishang, congratulations His Majesty, congratulations King Yan..."

Where did the joy come from... Lu Wan sighed in her heart, and returned the salute with a dark face.

Where does the joy come from... Liu Ying sighed in her heart, her face expressionless.

After all, Lu Yu is nine years younger than him. Now he is 25, and Lu Yu is barely seventeen (false years old). This age difference will be embarrassing even in later generations. He met Lu Yu once before, and he looked dignified in formal occasions, and because he practiced dancing since he was a child, he looked slim and tall, but after all, he was too young and too familiar, which still made him a little bit hesitant ...

But this matter is also beyond his control.

In the feudal dynasty, the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker were the most important, especially the marriage between him and Lu Yu was not only arranged by Liu Taigong himself, but more importantly, it also marked the deep alliance between the royal family and Feng Pei's heroes!

And it is still stuck at the time point when he came up with military reforms.

Lu Wan is a Taiwei, the commander-in-chief of the three armies in name, if he becomes his father-in-law, the reform will definitely go smoothly!

It's just that he already has three women now, if Lu Yu is added, he can only take a bath every four days under the rain and dew...

Being an emperor is indeed a first-class job in the world... Liu and Dai Tianying sighed again and began to make up the schedule in their hearts.

....................................

Being an envoy of the Han Dynasty is really a beautiful thing in the world...Wu She stood outside the city of Antigonus, full of joy.

Today is the day when he ends his state visit to the Seleucid Empire, travels south by way of rest, and then boards a ship to return to Han.

Therefore, what made him happy was not only the courteous reception he received wherever he went during the previous period, but also the sea of ​​people seeing him off at this moment.

It's just that he was very happy, but the knights of the Han army who followed him were not so happy.

These days, they basically have an extra room in Antigon City.

After all, even though they didn’t understand the language at the beginning, but then the girl came to their door, and with the help of an interpreter, they naturally knew that the ribbon the girl tied on their saddle was not a greeting, but an expression of love, and they didn’t take it off immediately. Means they agree to accept the girl's love...

Therefore, for the sake of Han's reputation, in order not to let themselves suffer the infamy of being a mess, they had no choice but to be grooms again...

Well, again.

This is the reason for the so-called extra outer chamber.

As for the fact that they didn't take the girl away, it wasn't that the rules of the mission didn't allow it, nor was it that it was unlucky for women to take a boat, but that they were detained by Antiochus III.

There has never been any contact between the Han Dynasty and the Seleucid Empire, and neither side has any trust in the other. Naturally, Antiochus III wanted to grab more chips for himself.

After all, the Seleucid Empire inherited many systems of the Greeks, so in his opinion, such a mighty and majestic warrior must have a high voice in the Han Kingdom, and if he detains the other party's woman, he will have greater power. With certainty, Han will deliver the weapons and armor promised to him!

Well, the main members of the so-called citizen council in Athens are men who have served as heavy infantry and can afford a full set of armor weapons, such as Socrates...

And Athens is surrounded by enemies on all sides. If you want to keep the city-state, you must transfer power to the heavy infantry. Therefore, no matter what you do, you need to ask for the consent of those gangsters...

If you judge others by yourself, you will lose a little bit and a thousand miles away.

So from Wu She's point of view, Antiochus III was obviously worrying too much.

As a patriarch who used to hang out in Dahan Public School, he has some understanding of many of the top technologies and industries in the empire.

For example, iron armor sold overseas can usually earn ten times the profit!

Although the armor weapons sold to Seleucus and Anxi are to curb the Romans' eastward expansion, so the price is relatively cheap, but the profit is at least five times more!
With such a huge profit, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road is, the merchants who specialize in armored battles overseas will surely deliver their weapons and armors...

Therefore, amidst the reluctance of countless Seleucids, Wu She started talking in a low voice with a man with deep eyes, high nose and wheat skin beside him.

This person is Hannibal whom Liu Ying misses so much.

After all, tactical tactics will change with the changes of the times and the innovation of weapons and equipment, but the concept of war will not. For example, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", even after thousands of years, the concept of its demonstration is still very valuable.

At worst, it also turned a certain fishmonger into an all-powerful boss...

So Liu Ying wanted to get Hannibal here, naturally she wanted him to write some works such as "The Art of War of the Chinese", and then spread the western knowledge to the east, so that he could attack the jade on her side with the stone of the mountain.

And this kind of invitation was also like a life-saving straw for Hannibal.

For example, in the palace of Seleucid at this moment, a warrior wearing ring armor and a man in a white toga robe with purple borders behind him, turned and left angrily, cursing.

"Wait to die, the Roman Legion will soon let you, and the emperor of Han, understand what the end of defying Rome is!"
