Daming: I am the Crown Prince

Whether the existence of Wuyuan would infringe upon the interests of some people was not a matter of concern to Zhu Yunhuan.

In his opinion, there is no doubt that some changes will inevitably infringe upon the interests of some people.

Fortunately, Wuyuan’s proposal was not opposed by everyone, because the existence of this Wuyuan would benefit the interests of many people, so it would naturally receive a lot of support.

Even though Fu Youde looks radiant now, it is basically certain that he has lost the opportunity to command the military power. This is naturally a huge regret for a military general, and there is no doubt about it.

But now there is a chance to have a certain chance in the promotion and training of senior generals. This is a great opportunity for the Yingguo Mansion.

Needless to say, the influence of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, the first merit of the founding of the country, will continue. Even if one or two mediocre people appear in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, it will basically not decline.

There was nothing to doubt about the Duke of Kaiping's founding mansion, because with the Crown Prince, the Duke of Kaiping's founding mansion would prosper along with the country, which was basically a foregone conclusion.

In fact, the Caoguo Mansion did not need to worry, because this was an extremely special noble, closely connected with the maternal relatives. As long as the descendants of the Caoguo Mansion did not do anything wrong, there was no doubt that they would be rich and prosperous.

The treatment of these three nobles was naturally envied by other nobles, and Fu Youde, who was also a duke, was extremely envious.

Even if he was envious, he could only envy them, because there were some differences between him and these three dukes, and the relationship between these three dukes and the royal family was also extraordinary.

Although other dukes and marquises were also hereditary and had so-called death-free iron certificates, but thinking about the experiences of some nobles in recent years, they all knew that the death-free iron certificates really had no effect on the emperor, and were more of a self-consolation for the nobles.

Hereditary succession, wealth and glory, it seems that the children of the Duke of Ying's Mansion have nothing to doubt, but compared with the other three dukes' mansions, the foundation of the Duke of Ying is still much worse. It is not easy to truly achieve the same prosperity as the country.

Now there is not only the Imperial College at the foot of Jiming Mountain, but also Wuyuan, the highest institution of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at the tall memorial archway of the Martial Arts Garden and said with a smile, "This is great. The Imperial College looks very impressive, and my Daming Martial Arts Garden cannot be any worse."

Fu Youde said quickly, "Your Highness, although the Martial Garden has begun to take shape, I feel that it is far from enough. There are many instruments on the Qintian Terrace, and the Martial Garden should also have things for military generals."

Fu Youde was really going against the Imperial College. Many things he did were comparable to those of the Imperial College, and the requirements were even higher.

The Imperial College is located in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, which is rich in natural beauty and strategic location. The North Pole Pavilion is built on Jilong Mountain, which is adjacent to Xuanwu Lake in the north and was one of the royal gardens in the Southern Dynasty. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the first sun viewing platform was built on the top of the mountain.

Moreover, this solar observatory has now been converted into an astronomical observatory by Zhu Yuanzhang, on which are installed bronze armillary sphere, astronomical instrument, gnomon and other astronomical instruments.

This place has a long history and has always been a good place to study. It has a long history of running schools. The cultural heritage of the Southern Dynasties has been indomitable and has survived many setbacks and chaos.

Fu Youde naturally had such expectations for Wuyuan. He also wanted to see the continued inheritance of martial arts and wanted to see martial artists have their own way of success.

Chengxian Street is naturally the street leading to the Imperial College. It has been passed down by word of mouth by many people and has become Chengxian Street because it is often used by students of the Imperial College who are about to enter official careers.

Looking at Fu Youde, Zhu Yunxun said jokingly, "I also want to see Wuyuan and the Imperial College complement each other, but there are some things you need to pay attention to."

Zhu Yunhuan became serious and said, "I think you also know that there are some children of noble families or relatives of civil officials among the students of the Imperial College. There are many talented people and many playboys among them. Many of them have gone to the Qinhuai area."

This time Fu Youde didn't know how to answer, and some of the nobles who followed him also felt guilty.

Some of the big clients of brothels include children of noble families, and everyone understands this.

Zhu Yunhuan continued to speak seriously, "Of course, there is no need to mention the warriors, let alone the hot-blooded ones. Those who can enter the Martial Garden are either the sons of nobles or soldiers with military positions. These people's family backgrounds and wealth are no worse than those of the Imperial College students."

Now everyone knew that although many people in the Imperial College were admitted easily by virtue of the merits of their ancestors, most of them were admitted by virtue of their own real talents and knowledge, and there were also some truly poor students.

However, in order to enter the Wuyuan, especially at this stage when the imperial court has no plans to hold a martial arts examination, only the truly wealthy or noble can enter. In fact, the various conditions of these people are far superior to those of the students of the Imperial Academy.

Zhu Yunxun became serious and said to Fu Youde, "Manage the Wuyuan well. First, we must not let these students lose their martial spirit, and second, we must not let them be lazy and dissolute. The generals of our Ming Dynasty should not act recklessly in some places."

This is also unavoidable. Wuyuan and Guozijian are opposite each other, which means that they are also in a prosperous place. Shili Qinhuai is right in front of them, so they are also worried that some generals will not be able to control themselves.

There are many beasts in human clothing among the literati, but many of the warriors also do not have high bottom lines and pursuits.

Fu Youde immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will strictly follow the school rules and will not allow students from the Wuyuan to enter or leave places of influence."

Li Jinglong suggested, "Your Highness, I think the Imperial College has some good rules. Students in the Martial Arts Academy should also live in the academy. Even the children of nobles usually live in the academy and don't have to travel back and forth between the Martial Arts Academy and the palace."

Looking at the elegant and extraordinary Li Jinglong, he really doesn't consider the feelings of other noble children at all. Anyway, he doesn't need to empathize with them at all, so he can naturally put forward some suggestions with confidence.

Some students in Wuyuan are senior generals who hold certain official positions in other places, and their families may not be in Beijing. If these people come to Wuyuan for further studies, it naturally means that they basically have to live in Wuyuan. There is no doubt about this.

However, another source of students for Wuyuan is the children of nobles, most of whom were born and raised in Yingtian Prefecture.

Now making these people live in school and not allowed to go back easily is a torture for them.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "Duke Cao is right. This way it will be easier to control and there will be fewer twists and turns. Living in the Martial Garden will also help to keep things in check. This is a great idea."

Anyway, it was not his intention to live in Wuyuan, and Li Jinglong's proposal was also approved by other nobles. It seemed that this was indeed a good idea, and it was only natural that this proposal was approved by everyone. Zhu Yunhuan looked at Li Jinglong and said, "Duke Cao, you have always been familiar with military books and are proficient in military tactics. You can come to Wuyuan in your spare time and discuss military tactics with other students."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have been itching to show off my skills. When I was young, I often read military books and strategies, and I was fortunate enough to deduce military strategies with the former King of Zhongshan. But now it seems that I have made a fool of myself."

This is not Li Jinglong flattering himself. He is indeed a "theoretical expert" and is truly well-versed in the art of war.

When he was young, he not only discussed military strategies with Xu Da, but was even recognized by Xu Da and others. Even some of the founding generals highly recognized his ability in "talking about war on paper".

Li Jinglong continued, "However, during the previous military training sessions, I have also realized that sometimes the military manuals cannot be used directly. I think people's hearts and morale cannot be explained in a few words."

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "That's right. It's better to have no books than to believe in them completely."

Lan Yu flattered him at this time and said, "Your Highness is eloquent. I admire you."

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Lan Yu and said, "You don't have to say these things. Don't always call the Duke of Kaiguo out for a drink when you have nothing to do in the future. Come to Wuyuan when you have time off. You are a general in the army, so your ability to lead troops is naturally beyond doubt. It would be a blessing for the children of Wuyuan to get your advice."

This is not an exaggeration, although Chang Yuchun came from a humble background and even worked as a bandit, and did not seem to have much in the way of military tactics.

As a disciple of Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu was not as good as his teacher. He did not know as many military books as Li Jinglong and others. However, his actual combat experience was far beyond the reach of Li Jinglong and others.

Lan Yu immediately said, "I understand. I will come to Wuyuan more often in the future."

Chang Sheng looked at Zhu Yunhuan expectantly, hoping to get some arrangements, such as visiting Wuyuan. After all, he was a founding duke, and the second founding noble in rank, so he should let people know the heritage of the founding duke's mansion in Wuyuan.

However, Zhu Yunhuan seemed to have not seen the expectant look of his second uncle. If he really let Chang Sheng come, it would be misleading. It would be more appropriate to drink some wine and enjoy singing and dancing after the mission. If he taught the students of Wuyuan, it would only lead people astray.

Lan Yu continued, "Your Highness, I have also checked some of the courses in Wuyuan before, and I think they are too sophisticated."

Zhu Yunhuan asked, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Fu Youde hastily winked at Lan Yu, hoping that this founding duke could have some foresight and not speak out of turn and get scolded by the crown prince.

Lan Yu probably misunderstood Fu Youde's intention, because he had always disliked Fu Youde. Seeing Fu Youde winking at him, he probably thought that the Duke of Ying didn't want him to have a chance to show himself.

Lan Yu said seriously, "I have read the regulations. If students of Wuyuan want to enter the school, they must major in one subject. I think it is still inappropriate. How can they major in cavalry, navy, or even fighting in dense forests? I think a general should be a generalist. Otherwise, how can they lead thousands of troops!"

Lan Yu's words were actually recognized by many nobles, and they all had similar ideas.

In the final analysis, some of Wuyuan’s training models seem to be a bit ahead of their time, or it can be said that there is a bit of targeted learning.

This seemed unnecessary to some nobles, especially those who were self-taught. They learned things on their own while leading troops in battles. They might not have read many military books, but they were still able to win every battle.

So like what Lan Yuti said, they all had similar thoughts in their minds, and they really felt that some things in Wuyuan were too complicated.

For example, some people in Wuyuan learn strategies, but I won't mention them for now. But when it comes to leading troops, there are actually people who specialize in leading infantry, or cavalry.

This made Lan Yu a little puzzled. He was best at leading cavalry, but Lan Yu never thought that he was worse than others in leading infantry. Could it be that those who led cavalry could not lead infantry? Or could they win the battle by only leading infantry?

Li Jinglong said quickly, "Duke Liang, I think this is a good idea. Everyone knows that Duke Liang learned from the former King Kaiping and led the Iron Army to be invincible in every battle. But Duke Liang, not all the generals in the Martial Garden are generals, many of them are only minor generals."

Xu Huizu also said, "What Duke Cao said makes sense. This is how it is in the army. Some are good at attacking, some are good at defending, some are good at leading infantry, and some are good at leading cavalry. If there is a general who is proficient in one part, it can also make it smoother for the main general to use the troops."

How could Lan Yu tolerate being questioned by two juniors, even juniors who had no military achievements at all? He subconsciously wanted to fight back.

Fortunately, he reacted relatively quickly this time. He noticed the half-smile on Zhu Yunhuan's face, as well as the repeated winks from Fu Youde and others.

Although it was a bit of a hindsight, Lan Yu understood it now. If he continued to talk, he might offend the grandson, or even the emperor.

It is very obvious that this is the arrangement of the Emperor or the Crown Prince. He is questioning it when the Wuyuan is about to start school. Isn't this obviously making things difficult for the Emperor and the Crown Prince? This is definitely not allowed.

Seeing Lan Yu's awkward smile, Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "What the Duke of Liang said is reasonable. Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I know that if the court uses troops, all the troops will be used. Let's not talk about others for now, but the commander should know how to use all the troops and weapons well."

Then Zhu Yunhuan looked at Lan Yu and said, "Tell me later how to make good use of various types of troops."

Lan Yu winked at Chang Sheng repeatedly, as if he wanted his eldest nephew to plead for mercy, or wanted him to analyze what the Crown Prince meant.

But Chang Sheng's eyes were blank, and he looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Lan Yu was very angry. This nephew was unreliable. He was as good as two men when drinking, but he was unreliable when it came to serious matters.

But if you think about it carefully, the Crown Prince should not be angry, right?
If you are really angry, you can admit your mistake first and then drag your eldest nephew along. The grandson will definitely not really punish you! (End of this chapter)
