Chapter 1619 Grandpa Fang Er?
Speaking of military training methods, Fang Jun was immediately proud and said: "It's not just the training methods? To be honest, Wei Chen compiled a whole training code to train this new army. From now on, Youtunwei is the The benchmark of the Tang army, and I am confident that this code of conduct will become the code of conduct followed by all the armies of the Tang Dynasty!”
His Majesty Li Er was startled and said: "Hey! Such a loud tone? How many days have you been a general and led soldiers for a few days? But since you dare to brag so shamelessly in front of me, you must have There are still some brushes. I’m really curious, so I’ll take a look at them quickly.”
Fang Jun then turned to Xue Rengui and said, "Go and bring me the unparalleled code of conduct compiled by this commander, and ask your Majesty to correct it and give you some advice."
Xue Rengui was sweating. Is it really okay for you to brag like this?
Although that Cao Dian is very awesome...
Not daring to say anything, he quickly turned around and exited, heading to his tent to get the code of conduct.
Princess Changle, who was behind His Majesty Li Er, glanced at Fang Jun indifferently, thinking that she didn't know how to develop this guy's face. His generosity was probably not comparable to anyone in the court...
There were all close people in the tent, and His Majesty Li Er asked Fang Jun: "That day you said something about establishing a Postal Department under the Ministry of War. I don't ask you what the regulations of the Postal Department are. Just this comparison. The expenses will probably be astronomical. If I hadn’t made a mistake in my estimation, I’m afraid the Ministry of War would have run out of money by now, right?”
Even someone who doesn't know how to settle accounts knows that the Ministry of War must be out of money now.
Look at the large area of buildings, blast furnaces and other infrastructure at the Kunming Poolside "Casting Bureau" outside the city. It's not something that hundreds of thousands of dollars can get around. What's more, Fang Jun also grabbed a license from the Ordnance Supervision to repair it. The qualifications for weapons and armor are another huge expense. Now that we have created a "Postal Department", it is an unprecedented organizational yamen, and countless financial resources must be poured into it.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but admire him. This second-in-law's ability to make money was quite big, but his ability to spend money was even greater. Throughout the ages, he had probably been spoiling him and letting him do whatever he wanted. If you defeat any emperor, I'm afraid you will have to send this guy away far away, no matter how great his ability to make money is.
He is really a spendthrift...
When the emperor noticed the current dilemma of the Ministry of War, Fang Jun disapproved and said: "It doesn't matter if the Ministry of War has no money. The 'Eastern Datang Company' has money. This 'Postal Department' can be established by the Ministry of War, and then let the company invest and occupy a certain share." ”
"Eastern Datang Company" has now completely become a "giant" level presence in the business world of the Tang Dynasty. With its overwhelming political background, it not only monopolizes porcelain, tea, and other products from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan paper Trade has also opened up the Nanyang trade routes. Every month, a fleet full of goods will arrive in the Nanyang countries under naval escort, dump the goods, and then buy the special products of the Nanyang countries at low prices and ship them back. Datang sales.
One after another, profits exploded.
Money is pouring in like a tidal wave. Isn’t it a waste to just pile it up in the money bank?
Of course it requires investment.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "This strategy is feasible."
He had been waiting to see Fang Jun's joke before. He spent so much money that the Military Department was reduced to an empty shell. Not only did he owe a large amount of foreign debt, but he was also ambitious to establish a "postal department" and "open up the country". "Datang Post spreads the new era", and by the way, bookstores are established in inns across the country, distributing the lowest-priced book paper to the country...
But he completely forgot that behind Fang Jun there was a very wealthy person like "Eastern Datang Company".
The shares of "Dong Datang Company" are complex, but with his own clear opposition as the emperor, who can stop Fang Jun's decision?
When the time comes, a simple sentence of "If you don't want to do it, withdraw your shares" will be enough to make all the aristocratic families lose their teeth and swallow their blood, and obediently obey...
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I don't care."
His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal.
It seems that he is letting Fang Jun go, but in reality he has immense trust.
In the past few years, whatever Fang Jun has been doing, be it glass, gunpowder, or even the audacious establishment of the "Dong Datang Trading Company", the establishment of the "City Shipping Department", and the establishment of the Royal Navy fleet, which of the initial They are all quite controversial, but look now, which one of them has already shocked the world?
Therefore, whether it is the "Foundry Bureau" or the "Postal Department", His Majesty Li Er has given him unparalleled trust and expectations.
Sometimes he can't keep up with Fang Jun's thinking. This hammer and stick suddenly made the Tang Dynasty's national power advance by leaps and bounds. I can only sigh that I don't understand, but the world is changing so fast...
"Thank you for your majesty's trust. I will do my best to move forward, live up to your majesty's expectations, and dedicate myself to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for generations to come."
Fang Jun replied solemnly.
This is by no means a flattery, but something he speaks from the bottom of his heart.
That is to say, His Majesty Li Er, who is open-minded and ambitious, can accept his messy tricks that constantly challenge secular conventions. Otherwise, if it were any other emperor, I am afraid that he would have to suppress him and let him be full of ideas from later generations. His knowledge and experience are of no use...
It is no accident that the prosperity of Zhenguan has made a lasting mark in Chinese history and made future generations look up to, admire, and yearn for it.
This requires not only a group of famous ministers who are loyal, honest and capable throughout the ages, but also an immortal emperor who is open-minded and brave enough to accept advice...
After a while, Xue Rengui came back, placed a thick manuscript in his hand in front of His Majesty Li Er, stepped away respectfully, and stood at the door.
""New Book on Military Training"?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at the handwriting on the title page, asked curiously, and then said: "Is it possible that he imitated Cao Mengde's "Mengde New Book"?"
Then, without waiting for Fang Jun to explain, he opened the manuscript and read it carefully.
Fang Jun said: "No, the times are developing, and the military is also progressing. No matter how excellent the military strategies of the predecessors are, they will inevitably fall behind in the footsteps of the times. The Tang Dynasty is making great strides, how can it still cling to its shortcomings and stay ahead of the times? People just delete, modify, and use it without making any progress.”
In fact, this military book was compiled by him based on Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Jixiao" and "Records of Military Training", supplemented by some military training methods that later generations knew on the Internet. It is half a cent apart from "New Book of Mengde". It doesn't matter.
As for why he had read such obscure military books as "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", he could only lament that it was really important to have a girlfriend who studied history...
The authors of these two military books are both Qi Jiguang. The former was written by Qi Jiguang when he was training troops to fight against the Japanese in Jiangnan, and the latter was written when he was training troops in Jizhen. Both military books record how Qi Jiguang formed an army, how to train troops, how to fight, and the establishment of military discipline and law. They are a summary of Qi Jiguang's military training and operations.
Among them is the famous "Yuanyang Formation"...
Who is Qi Jiguang?
"Ren Huan served in the capital and stayed in the capital, Yu Dayou managed the two Zhejiang provinces, and Qi Jiguang drove across the Fujian Sea. These are all great countries with strong cities, which are enough to destroy this imperial power!"
It is not an exaggeration to say that Qingtian protected him. The Japanese pirates who ravaged the Fujian Sea disappeared under his hands. He is truly a national hero!
Since the formation of the "Qi Family Army", it has never been defeated in hundreds of battles.
The Great Victory in Taizhou in the 40th year of Jiajing, through the battles of Xinhe, Huajie, Shangfengling, Tengling, Changsha and other battles, thirteen battles and thirteen victories, killed more than 3,000 real Japanese, burned, killed and drowned; the Battle of Fujian, in general Six thousand troops marched through Hengyu, Niutian, and Lin In the third battle of Dunsan, more than 5,000 Japanese were killed. Among them, the Battle of Hengyu was a wonderful coordinated infantry and artillery battle. First, artillery was used to sink the Japanese warships and bombard the Japanese camp. Then, the commando team was used to force a landing and break through the Japanese camp. Formation, kill the Japanese pirate leader. In the 42nd year of Jiajing, Pinghaiwei fought through the four battles of Xianyou, Wangcangping and Caipiling, killing more than 20,000 real Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates along the coast were wiped out...
To be able to train such a peerless army that is so famous in Chinese history that it can even be compared with the "Yue Family Army", I don't believe that these two books cannot be used to train an invincible army in the Tang Dynasty...

Moreover, Fang Jun added some modern methods of training physical fitness and mental outlook such as military posture, push-ups, cross-country with weights, etc. in this book. Fang Jun felt proudly that he could now be regarded as a military master with two swords. So handsome...
In the previous life, when primary school students read the glorious deeds of Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang in books, they would affectionately call them "Grandpa Yue" and "Grandpa Qi". Now that they have traveled through time and rewritten history, I wonder if future generations will be respectfully called "Grandpa Fang Er". "?
Just thinking about it, I feel it is very beautiful... (End of chapter)
