Chapter 33 The Cabinet's Attitude
The news that His Majesty was going to build a military school quickly spread throughout the capital, and some nobles began to feel restless.

From ancient times to the present, the selection of military talents has often occurred in families like these.This way they can maintain control of the military for a long time.Although warriors have been reduced to dogs by literati in recent years, the basic upward path is still retained.Now that His Majesty is going to establish a military school, what will happen to our children in the future?
The Beijing camp is being rectified here, and our next generation is being drawn out over there. Is there really no way for us to survive?All of a sudden, there were complaints everywhere.

Zhu Youjian knew what these people were thinking, but he didn't want to pay attention.

He found Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Household Department, and asked him to draw some silver from the Household Department to build a military academy.

As Daming's treasurer, he is very competent because he is very stingy.After hearing Zhu Youjian's intentions, he started his long speech.

From the first emperor to the second ancestor, from civil servants to nobles, from disaster relief to border salaries.In a word: no money!
I heard that Huangzhuang has a bumper harvest this year, can some food be used for disaster relief?
Can he say no?he can not.

The minister heard that Wei Dang and other internal ministers were executed and confiscated a lot of property. Can you take some payment from the internal funds?

Can he say no?also can not.

As a result, Bi Ziyan didn't get a single copper coin, and Bi Ziyan wanted to take away 200 million deniers of wheat and 200 million taels of silver.

Speaking of which, it was not easy for Bi Ziyan to be the steward of the Ming Dynasty.Wei Zhongxian regarded him as a thorn in his side due to his inclination towards Donglin. Fortunately, Emperor Tianqi was not confused, or else the grass on the grave would have grown ten feet.But even this couldn't stop Daming's financial hole. His own brother Bi Zisu couldn't pay for the money many times, which led to Ningyuan's mutiny, and finally committed suicide in shame and anger.

The military academy has started!

He dragged out Song Yingxing, who was studying spinning machines at the Academy of Sciences, and asked him to work as a supervisor on the construction site of the military academy.

In fact, he has already researched a spinning machine that can spin eight threads at the same time, and is currently reverse-engineering a spinning machine that can spin sixteen threads at the same time.The emperor gave the order, so he had to put down the research and development work at hand, plunged into the construction of the military academy, and became Song Supervisor.

There cannot be no students without schools.

Zhu Youjian had already thought about the candidates for the first batch of cadets in the military academy, and planned to select from among the martial arts candidates.So he decreed to hold the martial arts palace examination next month.

But then something embarrassing happened to him.

His will was refuted by the cabinet.

He was a little confused.It seems that after Yan Song, the cabinet's right to refute is no longer used, right?How did it get to me again?Especially you, Bi Ziyan, who is the second assistant at any rate, just took my money and turned around and cheated on me!

He angrily called the five cabinet scholars over.Summon them in Hongde Hall.

"As for the martial arts examination, why did Zhu Qing refuse to draw up an order?" Zhu Youjian asked coldly, suppressing his anger.In fact, the problem is very simple. Zhu Youjian's repeated actions touched the sensitive nerves of civil officials.

Initially, the Four Guards of Tengxiang were abolished and the Yongwei Camp was established.The Yongwei camp is an internal guard, so no one said anything. You don't feel safe when you first take up the position. Everyone understands.Later, you rectified Jingying, but we didn’t say anything. After all, Jingying was really bad.But later you want to build a military academy, and we don't object. You have to spend your own money.

But now you are going to take the martial arts palace test again, what exactly do you want to do?
Are you trying to put those warriors back on us?

You are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, but we can't, we have to show our attitude for the forces behind us!

The five cabinet members headed by Fan Jingwen stood quietly with their heads bowed.They all heard the suppressed anger in Zhu Youjian's tone, and knew that they would get burned if they were not careful.But someone must answer His Majesty's questions, so Fan Jingwen spoke:

"After deliberation, I feel that this move is inappropriate. Throughout the more than two hundred years of our dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a military examination. Your Majesty, please think again."

After hearing Fan Jingwen's words, Zhu Youjian almost couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, but when he suddenly saw the gray hair of several people, he suddenly calmed down again.Gathering his mind, he said in a slightly slower tone:

"I know what you are thinking. Some time ago, I ordered Li Banghua to rectify the military camp. I think you have heard a little bit. It is said that there are one hundred thousand soldiers, but only seventeen thousand can be used. This is still the three major camps in the capital. Guards in various places What? You don't know at all, do you?

Daming looks powerful, known as a million soldiers, but how many can really fight?Take Ningyuan Great Victory as an example. It seems that Ningyuan City has been defended, but how many people died on Juehua Island?Lianmin led the army to kill more than 4000 people, and burned [-] ships and [-] dens of grain and grass.

Such a result can be called a great victory?If one day Jiannu breaks through the border defenses, the capital will be completely exposed to Jiannu's iron hooves, the people of Daming will be massacred, the land of Daming will be trampled, and the city of Daming will be burned to the ground.At this time, how can I protect my people and my land? "

"For this imperial examination, I just intend to select a group of military officials for my use. Don't be overly nervous, gentlemen."

"I dare not wait."

"Go back, the heavy burden of Daming still needs to be shared by the ministers."

"Sir, please retire!"

After speaking, they walked out of the Hongde Hall together and returned to the value room.

"Mr. Zhi, what should we do about this matter?" Jiang Dejing, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, asked Fan Jingwen.

"Come up with the decree. Refuting is just an attitude. If you still don't know the right way, I'm afraid neither you nor I can stop His Majesty's anger. Besides, I think His Majesty is most afraid of party disputes. We must act cautiously and do our part well. .Don’t let Fanzi get the handle.”

Several people nodded in agreement, each busy with the matter at hand.

Without the obstruction of the cabinet, the decree is naturally unimpeded.The announcement of the martial arts palace examination was distributed to all the state capitals, which excited the martial arts people who had just participated in the examination.Most of the people felt that their abilities could be used, and a small number of people started to move around.They rushed to the capital one after another.

Zhu Youjian's idea of ​​holding a martial arts palace test was only recently.I only thought about building a military academy before, and forgot one important thing.

Just recruiting students is not enough, there must be teachers in the school, right?
If you just study the Four Books and Five Classics, that person is easy to find.But what he needs is a group of backbone forces who are completely loyal to him and capable of fighting well.Not a nerd who just shakes his head and reads.

While worrying, I thought of the martial arts exam.Then hold the martial arts palace test to see if you can select a group of useful people.

In the following time, Zhu Youjian plunged into the pile of books again.

He wants to prepare the teaching materials for the students before the military academy starts.

Needless to say, cultural martial arts, what is important is the shaping of ideology.

He wants to cultivate a group of forces loyal to him and only to him.
