Chapter 534: Training a General, This is Liu Mansion
Chapter 534: Training a General, This is Liu Mansion
As time passed quietly, the hall became completely silent.
Only Lu Yunyi at the top spoke eloquently and incessantly!
His voice was loud and resonant, and it echoed in the hall for a long time.
The tea on the podium was refilled again and again!
Everyone in the audience was concentrating on taking notes, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
In the end, the many nobles at the front felt that what Lu Yunyi said made a lot of sense, and began to order people to record it.
Especially the positioning of mid-level military generals is very clear!
Lan Yu sat in the front row, her face full of satisfaction.
As a veteran with many years of experience and outstanding military achievements,
He knew that some of the middle-level generals in the army today had fought their way out of the chaotic years of war and gradually grew up in the war.
However, the two great rivals in the north and south have been badly damaged.
The once busy Governor's Office has become visibly quieter.
In this relatively peaceful period, a serious problem is presented to everyone.
Without actual combat experience, how can soldiers and generals continue to grow?
At this time, the Governor's Office had just begun to realize that
We can no longer take the unconventional approach as we did in the past; we must have a reliable and systematic method of training officers.
This is the only way to prevent the Ming army from becoming weakened and its military preparedness from becoming neglected in the future.
And now, a ready-made solution is right in front of him. How can Lan Yu not be happy?
Mu Ying, who was standing by, raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of pride.
He tilted his head slightly and said to Lan Yu in a low voice:
"Well, is my son-in-law sharp enough?
He had already figured out a solution before we even had a chance to discuss it.”
Lan Yu glanced at Mu Ying and saw his smug look.
I shook my head helplessly and ignored him.
Mu Ying was not shy at all and continued to talk:
“The Metropolitan Governor’s Office should follow this method and vigorously train the thousand households and commanders in various places.
Otherwise, once the war breaks out again, how can we fight when these generals know nothing about anything?
After the Northern Expedition is over, this matter must be put on the agenda.
After fighting for so many years, I now feel more and more that
Everything must be done according to rules and regulations, so that we can proceed steadily and steadily. "
"I told you about this several years ago, but you were all too focused on your own turf and didn't listen."
Lan Yu criticized him bluntly.
Mu Ying responded with a smile:
"We were still at war at that time, and everyone was so busy that they had no time to serve you.
Things are different now. The war has subsided and the soldiers have nothing to do.
This is a good time to use.
It not only allows them to learn real skills, but also gives them something to do and allows them to settle down. Why not do it?"
The two were talking passionately, and Duke of Wei Xu Huizu pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
I plan to study it in depth after I return.
"What do you think?" Lan Yu suddenly turned his gaze to Xu Huizu.
"Me?" Xu Huizu was slightly startled, and a strange look flashed across his face, but he quickly sorted out his thoughts and answered calmly:
“There still needs to be rules, at least the Governor’s Office should formulate a complete set of regulations as soon as possible.
Yun Gong once told me that under Lu Yunyi's command,
All military affairs were divided into minute details.
The duties of a thousand households alone filled up two large sheets of paper, listing in detail all the military duties that must be performed.
The duties of a centurion were relatively fewer, but he still had one page of paper.
He said that once these rules are in place, they must be strictly enforced whether everyone likes it or not.
As long as it is implemented effectively, there will be improvement.
After all, these rules were set by Lu Yunyi, and his abilities far exceeded those of an ordinary thousand households.
If the Governor's Office wants to formulate rules, the provisions cannot be drafted by ordinary staff officers.
Instead, it should be jointly discussed and formulated by the nobles who have experienced many battles.
Only in this way can we stand high and see the whole picture, and truly play a role.”
After hearing this, Lan Yu and Mu Ying's faces turned a little strange.
Lan Yu gave Xu Huizu a blank look:
“Asking you how to implement it does not mean you should assign us a lot of work.
But what you said does make sense. Let’s just leave it like this for now and study it in detail when we get back.
Duke Ying will be back soon, so we can bring him in to discuss this together."
Mu Ying suddenly laughed:
"Duke Ying is so old now, he will complain again."
"The more capable you are, the more work you should do. The big brothers in the army must always contribute to the development of the army.
In addition, after things are preliminarily determined, the plan will be sent to Duke Song to take a look and let him participate and give some advice.
He's been training all day, and he must be getting bored." Lan Yu said methodically.
Duke of Wei Xu Huizu looked solemn and reminded in a low voice:
"General, should His Majesty make the decision on this matter?"
"Are you talking about formulating a strategy, or asking Duke Song for his opinion?"
"Ask Duke Song for his opinion."
Lan Yu understood his concerns, shook his head and said:
“Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both hope to see a good situation where the old can guide the new.
The Duke of Song has been in battle for many years and has many hidden skills. Your Majesty would be happy to see him pass on his knowledge.
When you return, write a letter to His Majesty to ask for his opinion."
Xu Huizu secretly groaned, why did this happen to me again?
Seeing his helpless look, Mu Ying couldn't help laughing and felt happy.
The lecture lasted from the beginning of the Shen hour to the beginning of the You hour.
When Lu Yunyi walked down calmly from the podium, the hall was still silent, as if time had stopped.
But as Lan Yu and Mu Ying took the lead in raising their hands and applauding,
The crisp applause was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.
More and more applause followed, quickly filling the entire Imperial College Hall like a tide.
One after another, burning gazes were cast towards Lu Yunyi, their eyes full of admiration and appreciation.
Of course, among these gazes, there were also some people with solemn expressions and a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Some people always think that Lu Yunyi was just lucky and met a good boss who appreciated him.
But after listening to his explanation today, these people completely changed their views.
I am sure that this is not just based on luck, but relies on real talent and ability.
Just imagine, if Lu Yunyi was under their command,
They will also promote and reuse such talents without hesitation.
After all, who can refuse a subordinate who is conscientious and responsible, considers everything carefully, and has a complete set of theoretical support?
When I returned to my seat, a waiter respectfully handed me an iced towel.
Lu Yunyi took it and wiped his face vigorously, and suddenly felt the heat in his heart dissipate.
The long-lost feeling of coolness slowly spread from the bottom of my heart.
Zhang Quan on the side looked at Lu Yunyi with a look,
It is no longer the same look as before towards the younger generation, but now there is a bit more admiration.
He was able to serve as a clerk in the Governor's Office because of his profound military achievements accumulated over the years and his strong backing.
But when it comes to his real ability in fighting, he is now old and has faced many battles.
He was already somewhat overwhelmed and couldn't even understand the ins and outs of it.
Take the Luchuan battle for example, Mu Ying and Lu Yunyi commanded the cavalry to carry out a large-scale maneuver across several areas.
He was sure that half of the officials in the Governor's Office did not understand how to operate it.
Of course including himself.
After listening to Lu Yunyi's explanation today, Zhang Quan was filled with emotion.
Talented people emerge from generation to generation!
"Yun Yi, can my kid learn what you said?"
Zhang Quan lowered his voice and used his body to block the view of others.
Because he was keenly aware of the burning gazes of some people,
Obviously these people have the same idea.
Lu Yunyi returned the towel to the waiter.
He picked up a large pot of tea, took a sip, and after a long sigh, he replied:
"Master Zhang, this is a must-have rule for the front-line scouts.
If you can’t learn it, you can’t be a good commander in the army.”
"Okay. Okay!"
Zhang Quan couldn't suppress his joy and nodded repeatedly.
He suddenly became a little worried and quickly reminded:
"Yun Yi, for the sake of our friendship, you must leave the position of Qian Hu for my kid.
The transfer order process is already underway, so don’t let anyone get ahead of you.”
Lu Yunyi was somewhat helpless. Many people in the front army scout department were promoted because of their achievements.
As a result, some military officer positions have become very popular and many people are vying for them.
"Don't worry, Master Zhang, since I have promised, I will never break my promise.
Many thanks to Mr. Zhang for taking care of the personnel arrangements this time."
"Hey, this is nothing. Their military achievements are there.
You should have been promoted anyway, I was just going along with it."
Zhang Quan was very happy. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned back in his chair, and patted them gently.
Not only because my kid has a good future, but more importantly, through this incident,
He got in touch with Lu Yunyi and made a friend.
This kind of relationship is particularly important in official circles, because if anything good happens in the future, he will also be able to participate in it.
Zhang Quan thought of something else and whispered:
"Yesterday I heard that some soldiers and officials who went to the countryside were injured or killed, and someone was trying to stop them under the banner of the imperial court?"
Lu Yunyi's expression became serious: "Several county offices have received complaints."
"It's okay, let me handle this.
Gao Shou, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, once worked with me to build the Prince of Qi’s Palace in Qingzhou, so we are old friends.
He was very smooth in dealing with people, and this matter fell into his hands.
According to his approach, they would both be given fifty lashes.
But since he is one of us, we can’t treat him like this.
Whether it is the soldiers and officials who died or the officials who were obstructed, they will all receive a fair result. "
Lu Yunyi was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and quickly bowed to express his gratitude:
"Thank you, Master Zhang!"
"Hey, don't be polite, it's what you should do.
By the way, tomorrow the Governor's Office is going to test these young soldiers at the small parade ground, do you want to come?"
Lu Yunyi thought of what Zhu Di had asked him to do, and nodded slightly:
"We must come. We must see the true level of the young soldiers in the army."
"Excellent, excellent!"
As the sun sets, the dim sunlight falls on the Imperial College like a veil.
The summer heat gradually dissipated.
It adds an indescribable sense of tranquility and peace to this place.
Today's class ended, and more than a thousand people left the hall in an orderly manner.
The originally quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Some young soldiers from other places were arguing heatedly.
Some foreign envoys looked solemn and lost in thought.
Carefully thinking about how to bring these training methods back to China.
Even some students from the Imperial Academy who came to listen to the lecture were deeply shocked.
I feel that being a soldier and fighting in a war is indeed not an easy thing.
Crowds began to gather in the front yard of the Imperial College.
It was the time when classes in the Imperial College were over.
Some students holding books filed out of the hall.
The two streams of people intertwined and slowly squeezed towards the wide door in front.
The sunlight gathered at this moment, shining softly on them, the figures were moving, and the artistic conception was extraordinary.
Lu Yunyi, who was left behind, looked at this scene.
A sense of fate welled up in my heart, and my eyes gradually became empty.
Mu Chuting followed him and asked softly:
"Husband, are you going home?"
Lu Yunyi thought for a moment and said:
"You go back first. I still have some things to deal with. I may be home late today."
Mu Chuting nodded obediently:
"Go, husband, and be safe."
"it is good"
At the gate of the Imperial College, Lu Yunyi and Mu Chuting parted reluctantly.
Liu Heiying, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, ran over excitedly.
"Brother Yun'er, I'd better stay in Daning!"
Lu Yunyi looked at his anxious look and smiled helplessly:
"Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
Liu Heiying's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly:
"Hello, Daning!!"
"Okay, get on the horse and I'll take you somewhere."
Lu Yunyi walked straight to the warhorse, jumped on it, and raised his chin to signal Liu Heying.
Liu Heiying quickly mounted his horse, and the group quickly left the Imperial College.
Soon, the group arrived at Zhangde Street in Dagongfang.
This is where the city's powerful and wealthy live. The streets are wide and flat, and the ground is paved with neatly laid bluestone slabs, which are spotlessly clean.
Majestic stone lions are placed in front of each of the magnificent mansions.
There were also vigilant guards standing guard at the door.
As soon as you enter here, you can feel a solemn atmosphere coming towards you.
"Brother Yun'er, have you found the assassin? Are we here for revenge?"
Liu Heiying clearly remembered that Yu Qilun lived at No. 15 on this street.
Lu Yunyi, riding on his warhorse, rolled his eyes at him:
"What kind of person is it to think about fighting and killing all day?
The rebels outside the city will be punished by the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with us."
"Then what are you doing here?" Liu Heiying's eyes were full of confusion.
Lu Yunyi did not answer, and soon the group stopped at No. 4 Zhangde Street.
Compared to other places, this place seems particularly neat.
Even the black door in front of the door was wiped clean and the walls were repainted, without a trace of dust.
The only difference is that the plaque here is empty.
Lu Yunyi looked at the clean and tidy steps and door in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at Liu Heiying and asked:
"How's this house?"
Liu Heiying looked him up and down, then looked around and nodded with satisfaction:
"Of course it is great. This is a place where many dignitaries gather, and it is also located in a prosperous area.
If it were sold, it would definitely not be cheap.”
Lu Yunyi chuckled and threw a small package from the sack over:
“Then, the houses here are not for sale, and even if they are sold, no one dares to buy them.
The people living next door are all rich and powerful, so ordinary merchants dare not come here."
Liu Heiying quickly caught the package and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
He opened the package and saw a bunch of keys and a neat and complete title deed.
His eyes suddenly widened:
"Brother Yun'er, this?"
Lu Yunyi explained with a smile:
"This is a house awarded by the court. It has four entrances and the palace has already sent people to clean it.
This used to be the residence of Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia.
Since he was stripped of his title in the 13th year of Hongwu, it has been vacant here.
This is for you. From now on, this is the Liu Mansion."
"what?"
Liu Heiying's mind went blank for a moment, and he held his breath.
He stared blankly at the magnificent mansion in front of him.
Some of the guards around were also shocked!
"Brother Yun'er, is this for me?"
"if not?"
Lu Yunyi got off his horse, put his hands on his hips, looked at the mansion in front of him and said,
"I already have a place to live in Beijing, and it would be a waste to leave the house empty.
Our brothers fought in many battles, and although not all of them stayed in Yingtian,
But you have to have a place to settle down in Yingtian, otherwise you will be looked down upon.
Besides, Hua Jieyu will be here soon, and we can’t live in someone else’s house after we’ve taken over their brothel.”
Liu Heiying just felt uncomfortable all over. He kept scratching his head and laughing.
"Brother Yun'er, thank you so much!"
This time it was Lu Yunyi's turn to look surprised, and he tilted his body to look at him:
"Won't you be polite to me?"
Liu Heiying's smile instantly faded, and he turned into an embarrassed, reluctant look:
"Brother Yun'er, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!!"
I don't know why, seeing him like this,
Lu Yunyi couldn't help laughing and punched him:
"Get out of here, it's disgusting!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Liu Heiying also laughed.
"Let's go in and see if there's anything that needs to be arranged, so that when people come, they can only sleep on the bed."
As Lu Yunyi spoke, he walked towards the gate.
After he stood in front of the door, he saw Liu Heiying still standing there in a daze, so he cursed:
"What are you still standing there for? Open the door!"
"Oh."
Liu Heiying finally came to his senses, and with a silly smile he went forward to open the door, saying as he did so:
"I forgot that this is the Liu Mansion. What a sin!"
