It was precisely what the Army Military Academy represented, and the shadow of the future military command system attracted Sun Chengzong and others, who began to devote a lot of energy to the education of the Military Academy.

And the more energy they put into it, the more interested they become in this kind of military school, which is completely different from martial arts.

Different from loose martial arts, the organization and discipline of military schools are unprecedentedly strict, which also makes the formation of collectives of all levels from large to small from schools, departments, classes and even dormitories.

The cadets of these military academies, under the pressure of instructors and school rules, began to be forcibly erased from their former social attributes, and were given the status of ordinary members of the collective.

Cadets who are unable to integrate into the military academy collective will soon be rejected by the entire collective, and with the connivance of the school, these cadets will either be forced to drop out of school and retire from school, or they will be forced to accept the help of the collective and try to live in a collective again.

The spirit of collectivism advocated by the Army Military Academy has allowed the cadets of the military academy to show a certain convergence. For Mao Yuanyi, this is the best regulation test subject. But Lu Shanji and Yuan Chonghuan saw another possibility.

In the army, except for the military positions transferred from civilian officials, who can command an army from the beginning, their promotion has little to do with the army.

The promotion of Wu Jinshi and the children of the generals in the army mainly depends on family relationships.

For example, the generals in the border army of the Ming Dynasty have the saying of Dongmaxi Li Zhi. Li refers to Li Chengliang, when Li Chengliang was in charge of Liaodong, the generals in the army were all from the Li family, and the Li family was a family with nine tigers, and was often praised by people.

When Li Chengliang's power was at its peak, a civil official bluntly admonished Wanli, saying that there were children of the Li family in the army of thousands of miles around Shenjing, and if the Li family had different intentions, then what should the emperor do?

Although Li Chengliang heard about the attack on him by the Chinese officials of the DPRK, he hurriedly went up to ask for it. Under Wanli's arrangement, this matter was finally settled.

However, the trend of rapid promotion of the disciples of the generals in the army has not been curbed in any way. When it comes to killing the enemy, the commander wants to effectively control his own army, and there is no better way to appoint his own people or in-laws.

Otherwise, once you are surrounded by enemy troops, you can count on the army led by others to come to the rescue, and God really knows. And the Ming army fought against Jiannu, and suffered this loss more than once or twice.

On the same day, the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers obeyed the order to rescue Shenyang, but after a bitter battle, they were first attacked by the artillery fired by the Ming army, and then 30,000 people, including Li Bingcheng, the chief soldier of Fengji Fort, and Zhu Wanliang, the chief soldier of Hupiyi, entered the Baitapu and watched the Sichuan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers annihilated.

It can be seen that the army pays attention to the fathers and sons who go into battle, and they have been tested by blood. Especially now, when the military discipline of the Ming army is constantly collapsing, the army commander does not dare to hand over his life to someone who has nothing to do with him.

For these middle- and lower-level military attachés in the army, if they are not attached to a certain general, not only will they not be rewarded for their meritorious service, but they may also be assigned to the most dangerous tasks every time.

In front of these military attachés, their immediate superiors or the commanders of the army are the heavens above their heads. As for the emperor and the court, they did not actually exist in their world, because they had no access to them. This is also a realistic condition for the continuous development of the Jiangmen forces.

However, with the establishment of this military academy, the middle-level and grass-roots military attachés who were transferred were originally in a small world was broken, and they were broken and kneaded into a large collective called the Army Military Academy.

And the influence of the so-called generals was blocked out by the military school. Their promotion will not be subject to the manipulation of a certain general, and the predicament they encounter in the army can be appealed through another channel.

To put it simply, using this military school, the emperor could exert influence on the middle and lower military attaches of the army through personal connections, and through them he could learn about the current state of the army.

The generals, who had monopolized the power of communication between the army and the imperial court, would have to accept the reality that their power was weakened.

As long as the General Staff Headquarters and the Army Military Academy master these two departments, it will take three to five years to put the entire Ming army in order. Then, while improving the combat effectiveness of the army, the army of the Ming Dynasty will also be firmly in the hands of civilian officials.

How could Lu Shanji and others, who had just sorted out their thinking, agree to establish another army officer school in Chengdu at this time, thus dispersing the influence of the military academy they had on the army.

Lu Shanji and Yuan Chonghuan's education in the military academy has changed from casual at the beginning to the current eagerness, and Zhu Youzhen obviously sees it in his eyes.

In fact, even Chongzhen himself hopes to postpone some time and open a local military academy when the Beijing Army Military Academy is completely on the right track and accumulates experience in running a school.

However, as he talked with the representatives of merchants from all over the world, he had already discovered that the social order in various parts of the Ming Dynasty had slowly begun to disintegrate. Especially in the southwestern frontier areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, the prestige of the government has dropped to a very low level.

Especially in the border areas of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the rebellion was ravaged by the rebels once, and the army sent by the government to quell the rebellion was not much better than the rebels.

If it weren't for the fact that Sichuan still had the support of Shizhu Tusi soldiers, the imperial court hurriedly transferred Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of Yansui, into Sichuan, defeated Hao Chongming, and recovered Chongqing, Sichuan would really be in chaos.

However, Yun, Gui and Sichuan gathered more than 100,000 soldiers, half of whom were Han soldiers and half were native soldiers. The Han soldiers were not resistant to war, and the native soldiers were unwilling to do their best.

After defeating Hao Chongming and recovering Yongning, the civil and military officials of Sichuan and Guizhou were full of contradictions for merit, which also gave Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan an opportunity.

In the spring of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, An Bangyan fell into Guizhou, and the governor Wang Sanshan did not have an army. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Prime Minister Lu Qin was defeated by Zhijin, and the Governor of Guizhou, Cai Fuyi, was defeated again.

In the Rebellion of Luxury, the decline of the Ming army has been undoubtedly revealed. The Tusi forces in Guizhou and Sichuan have also been hit in this rebel war, and they will not have any ideas. But the Yunnan Tusi, who was transferred to quell the rebellion, began to become arrogant after seeing the weakness of the imperial court from this war.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want this war to be over, but he fed a group of wolves who were eyeing Daming.

Under such circumstances, he could only choose to start the rectification plan for the health centers in the southwestern provinces in advance.

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time before continuing: "Sichuan has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times, but the utilization rate of the development of the Chengdu Plain is less than one-fifth.

After the rebellion of Yu Chongming, the population of Chongqing and Yongning was greatly reduced, but except for some of these lands, which were divided into meritorious soldiers, no one knew whose pocket the remaining land fell into.

Sichuan has fertile land and no shortage of water, so as long as there are people, it can become a food base. However, many water conservancy projects in Shaanxi are in disrepair, and if it doesn't rain a little, it will turn into a drought.

Although I told the representatives of the Shaanxi merchants that I would borrow the land of the Hetao from the Mongols for farming. But if it weren't for the desperate brave people, who would really run to the territory controlled by the Mongols to earn a living? ”

Sun Chengzong finally spoke: "Your Majesty means that you want to move the people of Shaanxi into Sichuan?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you have a family, you will definitely choose a safe place to settle your family, this is human nature." ”

Lu Shanji hesitated and said: "Does Your Majesty want to effectively control Sichuan through the rectification of the Southwest Guards, so as to prepare for the entry of Shaanxi people into Sichuan?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Zhu Youzhen said.

"But Your Majesty, although the land of Sichuan is fertile, most of the land is in the hands of the King of Shu and the clan. If the minister is not mistaken, most of the lands that have lost their masters due to the war should now be in the hands of the clan. Can His Majesty's vision really come true? Lu Shanji looked at the emperor and said.

Zhu Youzhen touched his chin and said, "The problem of land is naturally solved by me. All you need to do is make a plan to reorganize the Southwest Health Center.

In addition, Nanjing will also open a branch of the Army Military Academy to assist Xue Zhen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, in reorganizing the army in the Nanjing area. ”

Although it was not known what means Chongzhen would use to retrieve the land in the hands of the Sichuan clan, Sun Chengzong and the others wisely did not ask the emperor about this topic.

Since it was no longer possible to prevent the establishment of a new military academy in Chengdu, Lu Shanji and others were not so opposed to the decision to open a branch in Nanjing.

After discussing with the emperor, Sun Chengzong proposed that Lu Shanji go to Nanjing to serve as the principal of this branch and assist Xue Zhen in disarming and sorting out the Nanjing Guard.

The Army Military Academy in the Southwest Region is in charge of You Shiwei. It was also decided to set up the Southwest Governor's Mansion to oversee the armies of Guizhou and Sichuan, with Qin Liangyu, the Shizhu Tusi, serving as the Zuo Governor of the Southwest Governor's Office, and rectifying the armies of the two places.

The lunchtime passed quickly, and the dust fell on the affairs of the army reorganization in the southwest, and then everyone began to discuss the various matters that had not been completed in the morning.

In a small courtyard of the Huitong Pavilion, Jin merchant Wang Dejin was sitting in his room, looking at a box of books on the table in a daze.

This set of 12 books, 42 volumes, nearly 500,000 words, called "Xinji Token Ancient and Modern Arithmetic Treasures", is a mathematical classic written by his great-grandfather Wang Wensu.

Great-grandfather Wang Wensu held the idea of removing the false and retaining the true, filling in the gaps and breaking the gaps, and purifying the source, collected mathematical works and folk algorithms and arithmetic problems that can be seen on the market, paid attention to the tokens, and carried out further research on this basis.

Great-grandfather edited this book with the idea that it would be convenient for the children of the family to lay a mathematical foundation when doing business. But as his research deepened, the study of mathematics became a hobby of his great-grandfather.

When this book was compiled, Zengzu also fantasized that he could use this book to be recognized by the imperial court and publish it, so that his life's work would not be in vain.

But obviously, in the eyes of the princes of the imperial court, arithmetic is just a small way, and no one pays attention to what arithmetic treasures are written by a small businessman.

With the financial resources of the Wang family, it is obvious that they cannot afford to print books, not to mention arithmetic books that no one cares about.

Therefore, this set of books was finally preserved in the form of a manuscript in the Wang family. Wang Dejin, who is in his 30s, has mediocre business talents, but his preference for arithmetic is quite similar to that of his great-grandfather, and he can't put it down for the set of books left by his great-grandfather.

This time, the merchant congress was originally targeted at Wang Dejin's father-in-law, but his father-in-law was afraid that he would be forced to serve in Beijing, so he pushed the representative to Wang Dejin.

Wang Dejin had no interest in the congress, so in his spare time, he either hid in his room to study arithmetic, or went to the newly opened library in Beijing to kill time.
