There have been no major events in the imperial court recently, since the peace with Altan Khan, the beacon that has been burning for decades on the nine sides has gradually been extinguished, and the prestige of Gao Gong, who presided over the peace, has gradually increased, followed by Li Chunfang, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was expelled.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Longqing, Gao Gong became a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and officially became the first assistant of the empire.

Immediately after, Gao Gong was beaten.

The one who beat him was the cabinet assistant minister Yin Shidan, and the elder Yin Pavilion was also a teacher in the Yuwang Mansion, and the current cabinet ministers were all colleagues in the early years. However, Yin Ge is in a hurry, and Gao Ge is arrogant, so he is not very compatible, and Gao Gong did not agree to Yin Shidan's entry into the cabinet, and finally took the path of Chen Hong, the master of ceremonies, to enter the cabinet.

"The cause of the incident is that the elder of the high pavilion has expelled Chen Yiqin, Zhao Zhenji, and Li Chunfang from the cabinet, and now, if you want Zhang Siwei to enter the cabinet, it is a matter of time before you make a move to the elder of the Yin pavilion."

Xu Jue sat on a five-catty cannon on the side of the artillery school of Xuanfu Lecture Hall with his feet crossed, and smiled at Chen Mu with a relaxed smile: "The reason is that Han Ji impeached the old Yin Pavilion in the middle of the matter, and he was about to enter the cabinet in the middle of the month, so he had a quarrel, and the old Yin Pavilion was short-tempered, and he rolled up his sleeves and dragged the old Gao Ge collar to beat him." ”

"Fortunately, there were people around to stop it, so it didn't cause a fifteen-year chaos of orthodoxy."

In the fifteenth year of orthodoxy, Wang Zhen and his henchmen were beaten by officials in the court, and even several people died. Gao Gong was obviously not so angry, Xu Jue said with a smile: "Zhang Cifu went to pull the rack, and he was also scolded by Yin Ge Lao, but it was precisely because of his obstruction that Gao Ge Lao was not punched a few times." ”

"Zhang Cifu stopped the fight?"

Chen Mu sat on the cannon of General Zhenshuo, noncommittal about it, seeing that it was about to be six years of Longqing, with Zhang Juzheng's wings gradually growing, Gao Gong could still stay in the first auxiliary seat for a few days, Chen Mu didn't know.

But now it seems as if they are still on the same front.

"How can you not stop it, Gao Ge Lao has passed the prime of life fifty times eight, Yin Pavilion old forty nine times, Zhang Cifu is four or five years younger than Yin Ge Lao, if he doesn't stop the two auxiliary ministers to make a good fight in the cabinet, wouldn't it be a big joke!"

Saying that, Xu Jue turned his gaze to Chen Mu, and after a pause, he shook his head and said: "It seems that General Chen has not slackened his martial arts when he came to the north, and he couldn't see it last winter, but this year his physique is stronger." ”

"I was born in a small banner, and I relied on the strength of my two arms to kill some thieves to become the general banner, not to mention that it is common to send troops and horses for a month or two, although most of them rely on guns, but I also use bird guns to kill a few people, martial arts and shooting accuracy are the same, they are all skills."

Chen Mu said with a smile: "The Yongding River of the Ordnance Bureau, every day he wears a cuirass and leg armor with the family soldiers and travels back and forth with a knife to compile books. ”

"Swimming?"

Chen Mu nodded, "If you don't go into the water for a few months, your body will be weak." The river is different from the sea, it is the same in peacetime and wartime, there is no wind and waves, the current is not urgent, and there is no warship to collide with guns and shoot fast. This river is not too narrow, you can swim back and forth, and falling into the water during a naval battle can only keep yourself from sinking to the bottom. ”

Xu Jue nodded again and again, waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't understand the matter of naval warfare to me, I know that you can fight." Qingshankou, your son led the car and cavalry artillery team to bomb the barbarians away and couldn't find them, when will this lecture start in the martial arts hall? ”

Now the huge lecture hall has been largely completed, covering a large area outside the city of Xuanfu, and manpower such as cooks and grooms have also been recruited, just waiting for the class to start.

"The textbooks of each subject have been compiled, most of the teaching and learning have been selected, and now the first batch of students is being selected from the 100 households in Wanquan, and the classes can be started in a few days." Chen Mu clapped his hands, he was in a good mood, and opened his arms and said proudly to Xu Jue: "Five soldiers and fifteen subject courses, two and a half years of schooling, learn to send soldiers as generals!" ”

Of course, Chen Mu is worthy of pride, although he supervised the construction of the first new artillery and the first new warship of the Ming Dynasty, but where are these worthy of pride compared to the first military school?

"We know your five soldiers, the infantry artillery car riders, recently in the Beijing camp have heard calluses in their ears, what is the fifteen branches?" Xu Jue raised his hand and counted his knuckles, and said, "Same as the eleven departments of Tai Hospital?" ”

"Haha, yes, it's exactly the same!"

Chen Mu laughed, the Ming Dynasty changed the 13 departments of medicine in the Yuan Dynasty, and set up 11 departments of Dafangmai, Xiaofangmai, women, surgery, acupuncture, ophthalmology, oral teeth, throat, typhoid fever, orthopedics, and pox, laying the foundation for the development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he has set up 15 military departments, I think that even without him in the future, the study of military technology will be easier.

"The two subjects of scripture and mathematics are the foundation of everything, and they are used to read and count; The four disciplines of the art of war, tactics, weapons, and military system, including large strategies and small tactics, and the equipment used, are essential disciplines for large and small battle formations. ”

"The four disciplines of geography, astronomy, topography, and surveying and mapping are disciplines that must be known to generals; The four subjects of city building, hygiene, marching, and baggage are also indispensable. ”

Xu Jue listened to the confusion, some of these things he had heard of, and some of them had never heard of it, nodded as if he didn't understand, and said with his fingers: "This is only fourteen subjects, and there is one more subject?" ”

When it came to the last subject, Chen Mu suddenly smiled and said: "The last subject is called honors, although it is called this name, it teaches loyalty and patriotism, and how to get along with officials and officials. ”

"In two and a half years, the first year of learning all subjects, the year-end examination does not meet the standard and retakes one year, those who meet the standard choose six subjects to study in the next year, those who do not meet the standard in the year-end examination will retake it from the first year, and those who meet the standard will specialize in one subject in the next six months, and the students and teaching of the same period will confirm each other, and the graduation certificate will be jointly issued by His Majesty, the first assistant, and the secretary of the military department."

"Chen has communicated well with His Majesty, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of War, and in the future, the first assistant will also serve as the chief of the mountain, and the military department will serve as the prime minister in the lecture hall for one to three years, and the military department will serve as a teacher after the squire of the military department, and the five armies will all supervise the old man to enter the lecture hall as the master of teaching and discipline, and the master is the master of a certain discipline."

After Chen Mu finished speaking, Xu Jue stared at the big eyes and shook his head and sighed: "It's not simple, I said why did you swim the river all day long, it turned out that you were going to run to Nanyang...... If you don't leave, this lecture hall won't be open for long. ”

Chen Mu gave Xu Jue a thumbs up.

This is obviously an expert in court struggle, and the significance of Wutang to promote military progress is needless to say, and the blind can see it. But in addition, its significance to the martial arts is not much, which means that from now on there is no need for martial arts, through the study of martial arts, after leaving the mountain, he is the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

"Chen is no longer needed in the north, and there is no big problem in eliminating the malaise and revenue and expenditure in the whole line of defense, and what will be lacking in the future is only supervision; The Ordnance Bureau and the Lecture Hall have also been completed, and the teaching materials have been compiled, and in the future, only the students will be reused after graduation, and there is only one thing left for Chen to do. ”

"What's the matter?"

Chen Mu squinted and smiled, shook his head at Xu Jue, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Xu, but Chen plans to give Brother Xu another big gift." ”

When Xu Jue heard Chen Mu say this, his eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and asked, "What does the general want to give Xu?" ”

"A recipe."

Chen Mu got up from General Zhenshuo's cannon with a smile, and took out a roll of scarf from his sleeve, "It can strengthen muscles and bones, prolong life and prolong life, but avoid aphrodisiacs, Brother Xu knows where to send this, right?" ”
