The reason why Xu Mingwu dared to lose the face of the second prince like this was not to pretend to be forced.

But he knew that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had always been wary of vassal kings.

Although I don't know what the situation of the Wu Dynasty is this day, what kind of trick the emperor played, he actually let the prince enter a place like the military academy that can be convenient for the team.

But Xu Mingwu himself knows very well that he now has a family, and his words and deeds represent the political position of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

If he should be favored by the second prince now, he may be interpreted as being the second prince's faction.

Although Xu Mingwu is a stunned young man, he has not yet figured out the relationship between the emperor's sons, but he also knows that in all dynasties, the children of the nobles are the most taboo to stand in line, especially the interaction with the children of the royal family.

Xu Mingwu had just come to Daming for three days, and through one night of making up for it, he barely sorted out the affairs of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Now that a lot of things about the Tianwu Dynasty are involved, his mind is messing up, and there is another prince, he feels that it is necessary to find someone to consult the history of the Tianwu Dynasty, and it is best to find an opportunity to go back to the Xu Mansion to find a cheap father to discuss the affairs of the court.

After all, Cheap Dad is a noble who started from Bai Ding, and his connections and experience will not be bad, no matter how complicated the situation in the Tianwu Dynasty is, he should be clear.

After completing the admission procedures, Xu Mingwu officially transferred to the Huangming Military Academy as an officer and student.

Through his preliminary understanding, the Huangming Military Academy was established in the tenth year of Chongzhen, initially located in Fengyang Mansion, and officially moved to Nanjing in the first year of Tianwu.

This has a long history of 25 years of the Huangming Military Academy, is the highest school among all military colleges in the Ming Dynasty, directly managed by the Ministry of Military Aircraft, the vice president is the chief military aircraft minister, and the lowest is the level of military aircraft minister.

As for the dean, that's today!

Xu Mingwu was speechless, isn't this Principal Jiang!

He began to wonder if that traversal companion was the same Tianwu Emperor.

Fortunately, except for the emperor who is also the dean, there is no shadow of Lao Whampoa, at least the school motto is not "dear and sincere", and there is no hanging at the school gate "Please live elsewhere if you are promoted and rich; If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter the door".

In the first two days, Xu Mingwu first conducted a detailed investigation of the surrounding environment.

He found that the Huangming Military Academy was located in the center of the city, with about 500 houses, and the main building was a six-hall compound, which was also divided into six parts.

On the left side of the gate is the guard room, and on the right side is the command room; The second entrance is the office lobby, and the third entrance is the lecture hall, teaching room and instrument room;

The four entrances are dining rooms, large and small kitchens, barber rooms, and bathrooms; The fifth entrance is the dormitory and self-study room for students; Finally, there is a temporary storage room for rifles and a repair room......

Around the building, the north side is the martial arts arena, the east side is the ammunition armory and stables, the south side is the staff residence, and the west side is a wide grassland, which is the large playground for the students to practice at ordinary times.

The southeast corner is a large pool, which leads the river water into it, where the trainees practice erecting military bridges, and there is a small island in the center of the pool, on which flowers and trees are planted, which is the recreation place of the trainees.

As the highest military institution of the Ming Dynasty, the hardware of the Huangming Military Academy is absolutely first-class.

However, within a few days of entering the military academy, Xu Mingwu once again refreshed his worldview.

is completely different from what he imagined, the selection of talents by the Huangming Military Academy is not the traditional way of selecting officers in the Ming Dynasty, but the subjects of cold weapons that can lift the peak and shoot the bull's-eye, but the subjects of modern military education.

The Huangming Military Academy enrolls about 500 students in each phase, and all the officers and students are organized into four brigades, which are divided into five sections: infantry, horse, artillery, engineering, and baggage.

In terms of curriculum, military courses include: basic tactics, applied tactics, tactics on maps, strategy, Sun Tzu's Art of War, pipe warfare, trench science, ballistics, military system, field service, infantry drills, etc.;

Cultural courses include: Chinese language, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, geography, Chinese and foreign history, political science, Gezhi (physics, chemistry), etc.

Xu Mingwu was surprised that these modern Western courses were not difficult for the native Ming students, and there was no such thing as illiteracy as he imagined the students.

After inquiring, I learned that these students, even if they came from a poor family, were all educated after 12 years of compulsory education, and they were not only proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but also understood mathematics and physics, and some capable people could also recite poems and write ......

Xu Mingwu deeply felt an invisible pressure, and it was so difficult to cross by himself?

What's worse is that because of his special way of enrollment, he had a verbal conflict with the teacher when he signed up, and he scolded the second prince without a clue, making Xu Mingwu a special person in the military academy.

In addition, Li Shangyong's propaganda encouraged Xu Mingwu to be a madman, which made his every move receive strong attention from the military academy officials and cadets, so that he had almost no private space.

In the eyes of others, can a crazy person enter the highest military academy in the Ming Dynasty? Even if it's a nobleman, don't play like this, isn't Pingyang Marquis Xu Qingshan an insult to the Huangming Military Academy?

Verbal violence is the sharpest and most invisible weapon, so the military academy from top to bottom, from the superintendent, promotion, and chief instructor of these military academy officials, down to the cook, the secretary and even the ordinary students, began to have inexplicable hostility towards Xu Mingwu, a transfer student.

Stressed, unsociable, boring military school life, and wanting to go out to enjoy happiness, Xu Mingwu began to become anxious and wanted to escape from here.

However, if you want to escape from here, you have to climb to the sky!

The attendance system in the military academy is very strict, and the roll call is taken three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and the shops are inspected at night.

Moreover, the small city where the military academy is located is surrounded by a ten-meter-high city wall, which is heavily guarded, guarded, and strictly inspected at the city gate.

In order to get out of the city, new students in the lower grades must have a special approval signed by the vice president, and the students in the upper grades are slightly more lenient, but they also need to have a pass signed by the teaching and superintendent.

If there are students who try to escape in vain, once they are caught, they will be punished as deserters, beheaded and displayed to the public, unceremoniously, and even the children of the nobles will be treated equally!

Xu Mingwu secretly planned for several days, looking for a way to escape, but the guard of the military academy was like an iron bucket, and not a single fly could fly out!

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Xu Mingwu had to find another way.

As the saying goes, there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below, and he quickly thought of crooked ideas.

The trainees trained here will be the officers of the Ming Army in the future, and the quality of the officers determines the quality of the army.

Therefore, the Huangming Military Academy has extremely strict requirements for cadets, and the training is very harsh, not only has a monthly exam every month, but also has a quarterly exam every three months.

Every time there is an exam, the imperial court has to send a senior official to preside over it, and sometimes, the minister of military aircraft will even personally test the students.

The results of each exam will be recorded, and if you fail the exam three times, you will be classified as an inferior student and eliminated!

This crooked idea is very simple, that is, he will be expelled from the military academy as an inferior student and leave here openly!
