The establishment of the military academy was finalized, and the next question was the selection of the site.

This military academy can neither be in the capital, nor too far away from the capital, after all, Liu Hongjian has no time to toss back and forth.

And the cabinet masters are full of mixed feelings, since the matter has been decided, then they are even more lazy to care about where this military academy will be built.

Several uncles left one after another, and finally even Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, returned home.

Seeing that they were all gone, Chongzhen himself didn't have any good ideas, Liu Hong gradually made a decision, since they were all building schools, he decided to simply build the military academy in Xishan.

It's just that the West Mountain is not big, the west is the Xishan Camp of Nuoda, the new site of the Institute of Engineering is close to the Wuding River, and the armory institute and various workshops are further east, and the rest is fertile land.

Liu Hongjian didn't want to build the military academy in the farmland, anyway, it was also the first royal military academy in the Ming Dynasty, and the folk schools were all built on the side of the mountain and were stained with fairy spirit, so he couldn't make the military academy like a farmhouse.

For safety reasons, Liu Hongjian and Chongzhen agreed to move the Xishan camp north and let go of the feng shui treasure to build a military academy.

However, the Xishan camp had 150,000 new and old soldiers, which was too involved, and in the end, Li Banghua and several other ministers had to be called over again, and the Beijing camp was divided into two after discussion.

One moved north to Shahe, garrisoning 80,000 troops to guard the north of the Beijing Division, called the Shahe Battalion.

The other moved south to the Lugou River, garrisoned 70,000 troops, called the Fengtai battalion, and echoed the Gongwei Beijing Division in the north and south, which complemented each other.

It's just that whether it is the construction of a civilian school, the construction of a military academy, or the relocation of the Beijing camp, it is not a small project, and it will not be completed at all if the original thousand people of the ordnance institute are not completed in two or three years.

For this, Chongzhen is very domineering, with a wave of his hand, he will levy another 5,000 people!

He was a little anxious for quick success, after all, he couldn't wait, he could wait, but his body no longer allowed it, and he had surgery to remove a lesion a few months ago, and now the lesion has a home in his left shoulder.

Every night, the pain is unbearable and I can't sleep, and the spirit is also very bad, and the gray hair is getting more and more.

"The emperor still needs to pay more attention to his body, now that Daming is thriving, don't always worry about state affairs, everything should be looked at." Liu Hong gradually glanced at Chongzhen and said with unbearable concern.

You can't eat a fat person in one bite, you have to do things one by one, and if you want to change a big country, you really can't be in a hurry.

"Alas, I'm used to worrying, I always feel less when I'm free, and I've worked hard for more than a year." When there are no outsiders, Chongzhen has always been calling Liu Hongji's expression.

Chongzhen knew that Liu Hongjian really cared about him, unlike those courtiers, although on the surface he said beautiful words one by one, secretly I don't know how many people wanted him to die.

He also knows this kid's heart, if it weren't for his urging, this kid would probably be able to sleep at home every day.

"Why is Gu Aiqing still here, but something?" Chongzhen and Liu Hong were chatting about family life, and suddenly found that there was still a person sitting in the corner of the room, and they couldn't help frowning.

Since this discussion was military, Chongzhen specially ordered two military servants to come to listen, and Gu Jia was one of them, this person sat in the corner of the room without saying a word, Chongzhen didn't notice it for a while.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Minister...... The minister wants to go to this martial arts academy to serve! Gu Jia stammered, and then asked very firmly.

The martial arts hall described by Liu Hongjian heard that Gu Jia, the left attendant of the military department, was eager to go to it, although he was born as a jinshi, but he had long lost interest in Confucianism.

On the contrary, he especially likes to study military books and march soldiers, but now it is not his turn to lead troops to fight.

He also knew a lot about the situation of the Ming army, but because people were soft-spoken, he had to sit back and watch the changes.

And now the proposal of the king of Anguo happened to coincide with him, and even more thoughtful than he thought, he wanted to join this special group, but he was worried that Chongzhen and Liu Hong would not allow it.

He has been sitting in the corner and thinking about it repeatedly, but now that Chongzhen asked, he couldn't care about it anymore.

"This ......" Chongzhen was stunned by the sudden strange request of the soldier squire.

The squire of the military department is a member of the third grade, and he is almost the pinnacle of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, and he is qualified to enter the cabinet, Chongzhen didn't expect this guy to be so abrupt.

"The resident teacher of the military academy must be white, do you know what this means?" Liu Hong gradually had some impressions of this Gu Jia.

Last year, when he went to Shanhaiguan, he had dealt with Gu Jia, and among the hundred officials, he was also a rare person who broke away from low-level interests.

"Xia Guan knows that Xia Guan has studied Wu Zi, Liu Tao, Wei Yuzi and Ersun Art of War, and also has some research on firearms battle formations, if His Majesty and the prince agree, Xia Guan can resign from his official position and focus on the teaching of the martial arts academy." Gu Jia bowed down and continued to play.

If Li Banghua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is here, it is estimated that he will jump to his feet angrily, and the Ministry of War will dislike you like that? Even if the official doesn't do it, he wants to be a white teacher?

But people are different from others, when the mentality reaches a certain level and encounters the dream that you yearn for, you always want to try, Gu Jia is such a person.

When he was young, he studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, all to prove that he had this ability, and when he really did it, he felt that it was ordinary and the officialdom was too chaotic, which was not his pursuit.

"Let's not talk about the art of war, this king asks you, who is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty now?" Liu Hong gradually felt that this person was quite interesting, and couldn't help but ask the question he asked Xiao Zheng a few months ago.

He wanted to test Gu Jia's overall view, after all, if he taught the march to fight, don't say anything else, Lin He in the barracks can teach muskets, Kong Er can teach artillery, and cavalry charges have Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao......

Although these newly rising generals have little culture, their experience is all from real swords and real guns, which is much more practical than the art of war on paper.

What Da Ming lacks is someone who can see the situation clearly like Zheng Sen, and it is a matter of strategy, not specific tactics.

"Xiaguan looks at the Ming Dynasty today, within the four seas, although there is Chahar in the north and Zhang Xianzhong in the south, but there is nothing to be afraid of, if there is really a ...... that can be called an enemy by the Ming Dynasty" Speaking of this, Gu Jia paused.

"The Zheng family in the south is the first one, Zheng Zhilong and his people have heavy troops but they are at both ends of the first rat, which is really a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, overseas, Taiwan's Dutch State, Nanyang Francis, Francha, etc. are all great enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and I heard that the artillery on the Dutch warships is not only powerful, but also has a longer range than the Ming Dynasty's naval guns, which must be guarded against......"

Gu Jia still hunched her waist and didn't dare to raise her head when she spoke, and she talked endlessly about overseas affairs.

He knew that in the matter of this military academy, if the prince could nod his head, it would basically be eight or nine, and the question just now was probably an assessment.

"Your Majesty, this Lord Gu has a talent for foreign affairs, it's a pity to stay in the military department, the military academy happens to lack talents in this area, so it's better to ...... You're right. Liu Hong gradually glanced at Chongzhen, who was expressionless.

PS: I still owe a more recommended vote for the addition, and the cold will be returned as soon as possible, good night~~~
