Chapter 185: The literati Ziqi joined the army
Wang Yan composed a song in the academy, which aroused a resonance in the hearts of many students in the academy, and they all wanted to devote their pen to serve the country in the army.
Wang Chaoping already knew that this would be the result when he heard Wang Yan sing the first paragraph, so he and Wang Jiezhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, maybe they would soon have nothing to teach them.
As the old saying goes, "learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family", the two hundred students in the academy studied hard in the cold window, in order to be able to gain fame in the future and serve the imperial court.
Now that Hu Lu has invaded the south and his family and country are in danger, why should they abandon literature and follow the military?
Wang Yan is in the position of the Duke of Chu State, the official residence is the best, and the students who join him are far easier to enter the officialdom and realize their ambitions than to study in the academy and then take the road of the imperial examination step by step, so neither Wang Zhaopin nor Wang Jiezhi said anything to stop him.
The ancients respected teachers and taught them, and there was a tablet of "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" enshrined in the middle hall, and the "Chinese" has clouds, "Father is born, teacher teaches, and Jun eats." If you are not a father, you will not be born, you will not eat or grow, and you will not be a family who will not know how to live, so it is a thing. Therefore, the teacher-student relationship is one of the most reliable relationships.
Wang Yan is in a high position and controls one side, but after all, his official days are short, and there is a lack of confidants around him, and the dynasty hired Wang Jiezhi to be the mentor of the two hundred students present, and the two of them cannot assist Wang Yan because of their age, but these two hundred disciples can become a big help for Wang Yan worthy of Xinnai.
When he left Hengyang, there were nearly 180 of the 200 students in the academy, and 20 of the Wang's children were grouped together.
These students, for Wang Yan, are rare talents, the status of martial artists in the Ming Dynasty is not high, and those who can read and hyphenate are simply rare, and now many things in the army need scribes to deal with.
For example, the operation of artillery, such as logistics management, and military merit rewards and punishments, all need literati, so now that such a group of literati have joined, for Wang Yan, it can make many jobs easier to be competent.
For this group of scholars, Wang Yan decided to train them well, but Kuang Lu and the Wuyuan stayed in Guangzhou and did not go out with Wang Yan, so he had to organize these two hundred scholars as personal guards and stay by his side to teach them personally.
Because of the matter of the students, Wang Yan stayed in Hengyang for one more day, and only set off for the north on the 28th.
On the way from Hengyang to Changsha, because of the convenience of Hunan water, Wang Yan abandoned his horse and went down the river.
At this time, Xie Kuang, who was standing beside him, finally had a chance, and after he bowed to Wang Yan, he said sincerely: "Guogong, I have a reluctant request below, and I hope that Guogong will be fulfilled." ”
Wang Yanben looked at the demeanor on both sides of Xiangshui, and couldn't help but look back when he heard the words, he had talked a lot with Xie Kuang in the past few days, and naturally knew some of his thoughts, "Daowu wants to join the army?" ”
Xie Kuang was slightly stunned, and then hugged his fists, "I still hope that the prince of the country will be perfect." ”
Wang Yan pondered for a moment before he said: "Daowu is the grandson of Xie Wenzhenggong, a scholar for generations, and a person who has made meritorious achievements, as long as he accumulates some experience during the period of being the staff of the governor, he can be a feudal official in a few years, and at this time in the army, he must be ashamed of the people of Shilin, and he has to go through the danger of battle, and he still doesn't know what the future is, does Daowu think it is worth it?" ”
Although it is now a troubled era, the change of concept will take a certain amount of time, and Wang Yan did see Xie Kuang's talent, and he was ready to train him to become a talent for managing the place, so he said what he thought in his heart, hoping that he could see his choice clearly and take a safe path.
After Xie Kuang heard the words, he did not waver, obviously he had carefully weighed the gains and losses in the past few days before making such a decision, "The kindness of Grandpa Guo has been comprehended in my heart, but I have already decided to abandon literature and follow the martial arts, and report to Daming on the battlefield." ”
Wang Yan obviously expected his answer, so he was not surprised, but nodded, then looked at him and asked, "Dao Wu can tell this governor, what is in your heart?" ”
Seeing this, Xie Kuang was first overjoyed, and then replied: "There are many civil servants in the world who can govern places, but there are very few Confucian generals who can lead troops to fight. At the time when the country was in danger, it was necessary for the military generals to sweep the world, and the dynasty has always emphasized literature and light on military force, so that the army could not attract talents, and it was difficult for the army to have combat effectiveness. In addition to being able to kill prisoners with my own hands, I want to show the world that joining the army is not a cheap job, and I hope that more people with lofty ideals will join the army, so that the status of the warriors will rise and the army will be more effective. ”
The Ming Dynasty has always used literature to unify the military, and Yuan Chonghuan, who is the second grade, killed Mao Wenlong, who was the best general, so that he could not report to the court and kill the dignified Jiangdong marshal directly, which in addition to Yuan Chonghuan's personal reasons, the status of the military general was suppressed by the civilian officials, which was also an aspect.
Now that the troubled times are coming, the status of the generals will inevitably be improved, Wang Yan also has a lot of thoughts about this, he hopes that the status of the generals will be improved, but he doesn't want them to become the four towns of Jiangbei and Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, just because they rely on the troops in their hands to blackmail the imperial court to improve their personal status.
Such an ascension is meaningless to the Ming Dynasty, and will even make the imperial court coerced by military generals, unable to unify the overall situation and confront the Qing court.
Wang Yan hopes that the promotion is the recognition of the army by the whole society, so as to slowly change the status of the army and the warriors, and he wants respect, not the people's fear of the official army.
At this time, after listening to Xie Kuang's words, he couldn't help but think for a while, "Daowu's words made this governor feel suddenly enlightened. It is very feasible to use nobles to do cheap business, so as to slowly change the world's perception of the army! If there are more Confucian generals in the army who know the great righteousness, then the number of people who defect to the battlefield such as Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing will inevitably decrease. ”
Xie Kuang is a literati doctor, a high-ranking existence in the eyes of ordinary people, and a noble person reincarnated by Wenqu Xing, but such nobles are now in the army, will the people's views on the army change? Wang Yan knows that the answer is yes.
"Noble people do cheap business?" Xie Kuang couldn't help but nod slightly when he heard Wang Yan's words, "The words of Lord Guogong are very reasonable, in fact, the reason why I joined the army in Xia was because I saw that Lord Guogong went to the battlefield in person as a scholar and doctor, and set an example for Zaixia. ”
Wang Yan smiled: "Okay! In that case, let me wait for the scholars to change the world's perception of the army! Now these two hundred students just lack a leader, and I don't know if Wu Ke is willing to lead it. ”
Xie Kuang solemnly clenched his fists, "Dare not obey your fate!" ”
"Haha~" Wang Yan and Xie Kuang couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, but at this time, Dai Zhifan at the bow of the ship suddenly turned around and shouted: "Guogong, Changsha is ahead." ”
