On the ninth day of May, Nanjing Imperial College.
Early this morning, cars and BMWs were racing on the road in front of the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, making it very lively.
But the excitement was not due to itself, but to the establishment of Huangming Military Academy.
As a government-run school appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, the Huangming Military Academy has a clear positioning, which is to train officers for the Ming Dynasty.
People who handle things assigned by the emperor himself are naturally very attentive.
However, choosing the location of the Huangming Military Academy was a difficult task.
Gao Hongtu, Minister of Industry, felt that it would be very expensive to rebuild an official school, and suggested that the emperor renovate it based on the existing official school.
Zhu Cixi also felt that the current situation was serious and every penny must be spent sparingly, so he agreed to Gao Hongtu's suggestion.
There are two locations proposed by Gao Shangshu, one is Nanjing Martial Arts School and the other is Nanjing Imperial College.
Both of these schools were government-run schools of the Ming Dynasty, so it would be easier to transform them.
In terms of type, Nanjing martial arts is closer to a military academy, but Zhu Cixiang ultimately chose to transform the Nanjing Imperial College.
Because the scale of Nanjing Martial Arts School is too small, there are no extra buildings for renovation.
If the land needs to be re-acquired, it will be the same as building a new official school.
Furthermore, although the two official schools are both located in Midtown Nanjing, their specific locations are quite different.
Nanjing Martial Arts is located south of Sanyuan Lane and east of Paoma Lane, not far from Yingtianfu Yamen.
The Nanjing Imperial College is located further north, north of the Fourth Archway and west of Chengxian Street, covering an area of one square.
If you want to find a reference object for positioning, Nanjing Imperial College is very close to Xuanwu Lake, just south of Beihu Yanliu, one of the famous 48 scenic spots in Jinling.
The Nanjing Imperial College is too big, and most of the dormitories are vacant and unused, so it is very easy to acquire and renovate them.
There is another important reason why Zhu Cixiang chose this place, that is, there is the Fujun Youyamen to the east of the Imperial College.
Although the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has been abolished, the remaining campus can be used for students of the Huangming Military Academy to conduct array operations.
The most suitable place is the small school field of Fujun Youyamen.
The only problem was that the students at Nanjing Imperial College reacted strongly to this.
Literati and warriors are two naturally hostile groups, especially in the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of scholars, warriors are a group of rough men with strong minds and simple limbs.
But now His Majesty the Emperor actually wants to build a part of the Imperial Academy's dormitories in order to build some kind of Huangming Military Academy.
Although this part of the dormitory is unused, these prison students still feel very unhappy.
From their point of view, it doesn't matter where the wasteland is that they don't need, but it is absolutely intolerable to build a military academy for warriors.
Therefore, after the plan was finally finalized, the Imperial College students gathered in front of Zhengyang Gate to petition.
This is also a trump card for literati to express their opinions.
It is easy to use whether you are a civil servant or a scholar who is not an official.
In their opinion, as long as they gather a few hundred people, kneel on the ground and howl, the emperor will have to give in.
But this time the emperor was indifferent and ignored them despite their crying and screaming.
Finally, his knees were sore and he returned to the Imperial Academy dejectedly.
After the large-scale petitions by the Imperial College students failed to protest, the Ministry of Industry officially sent people to renovate the Imperial College, circled some of the unused dormitories, and completed the tasks assigned by the emperor in the shortest possible time.
Today is the first day of the establishment of Huangming Military Academy and the first day of school.
For this reason, the emperor even came in person and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony.
This made the Imperial College students jealous.
You must know that after the emperor ascended the throne, he has not come to the Imperial College to visit them, the future pillars of the country, and now he is condescending to a group of Qiu Ba.
They really wanted to kneel down in front of the gate of Huangming Military Academy to express their anger, but considering that they had just spent half a day kneeling outside Zhengyang Gate not long ago, and their knees were still sore, they put this idea back.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang would not have the time to deal with these idle supervisors.
Nowadays, he had too many things to worry about.
Often, after a busy day, there were still many memorials that he had not reviewed.
This shows the importance of the cabinet.
If there is no cabinet to draft the memorials sent by the Secretary of General Affairs, and all decisions are left to the emperor, it will be really tiring.
That is to say, a super workaholic like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang can enjoy it.

When the Huangming Military Academy was founded, the number of students was not sufficient, and the students were basically the nephews of the generals and deputy generals.
This was certainly not Zhu Cixiang's original intention.
In his vision, the main source of students for the Huangming Military Academy was those with outstanding performance in the New Army, so as to give the New Army soldiers another step up in addition to competing for military merit.
However, the new army has just begun training, and it will take three months before the outstanding candidates are selected to study at Huangming Military Academy.
Before that, the Huangming Military Academy couldn't be idle, so it was the best way to select the nephew of the commander-in-chief and the deputy general as the first batch of students.
Another advantage of doing this is that Zhu Cihong can take the opportunity to win over these old warlords.
Before he can completely take control of the military, these people still need to be appeased.
Of course, these nephews of military generals are also equivalent to hostages to a certain extent, and they can be used to make these military leaders take advantage of them.
After the lecture, Zhu Cixiang did not return to the palace immediately.
Instead, he asked his chamberlain to go to the Imperial College to summon someone.
This person is none other than the famous Zheng Chenggong.
But at this time, Zheng Chenggong was still called Zheng Sen, and he was just an Imperial College student in his early twenties.
After hearing the emperor's summons, Zheng Sen was so excited that he didn't even bother to burn incense and bathe.
He followed the chamberlain directly to Huangming Military Academy to accept Zhu Cihong's summons.
Zhu Cihong admired Zheng Chenggong in his previous life and believed that Guo Xingye and Li Dingguo were rare figures in the Southern Ming Dynasty who had the ability to change the historical trend.
If Zheng Chenggong could win the famous Battle of Nanjing, perhaps the entire history would be rewritten.
After traveling through time, Zhu Cixi also very much hoped to meet Zheng Chenggong.
Although Zheng Chenggong had not yet emerged, it was always right to get the good seedlings into his hands as soon as possible.
Zhu Cixiang, wearing a Yishan crown and bright yellow Gunlong uniform, sat at the head of the lecture hall of Huangming Military Academy.
This position was originally supposed to be occupied by a lecturer.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang had no problem sitting here.
After all, he was the principal of the Huangming Military Academy.
"Meet Zheng Sen, the Supervisor of Xuan Kingdom" Zhu Cixiang looked carefully at the young man who walked into the martial arts hall with square steps.
I saw Zheng Sen wearing a dark blue straight jacket, a net scarf on his head and square-toed shoes.
Although he was dressed as a scholar, his figure was very strong.
Taking a closer look, Zheng Jiansheng had a high forehead, a broad nose and a straight mouth, with bright eyes and a solemn expression.
After entering the martial arts hall, he pushed the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar and saluted Zhu Cihong.
"Zheng Sen, a student of the Imperial College, pays homage to Your Majesty.
Long live our Emperor!"
