In the leopard room, Zhengde was laughing while holding a memorial. This memorial was sent from North Korea. It said two things in total, and both of them were happy things. The first one was to follow North Korea.

With the out-migration of people in progress, North Korea finally settled down, and ordinary Han immigrants dared to leave Han settlements. This also marked that North Korea had been completely included under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there was no civil strife in the Ming Dynasty in the future, North Korea would not

It is possible to break away from the rule of Ming Dynasty again.

The second thing is even more gratifying, at least in Zhengde's view. This thing is that the Ming army won another battle, and it was also in the Japanese country. The border troops stationed in North Korea were transferred to the Japanese country, and they defeated the Japanese under Yitian City.

Although the 30,000-strong army suffered very little losses, Zhengde, who loved military affairs very much, was overjoyed.

The Shijian Silver Mine has now produced output. According to reports from people below, the annual output is astonishing. Just relying on this silver mine, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty's treasury does not have to worry about the lack of silver flowers. Originally, Zhengde was worried that it would not be able to hold on. After all,

Such a large silver mine was located in the Japanese territory. The surrounding Japanese would definitely go crazy and rob it. However, they did not expect that although the Japanese organized people to rob it, they were defeated by the border troops. Now Zhengde

Finally relieved.

"Da Yong, prepare your horses, I am going to the military academy!" Zhengde now has a habit of going to the military academy whenever he feels happy. Anyway, he has the title of a military academy principal, so it is reasonable for him to go and inspect the military academy.

Yes, of course, because the military academy is in the western suburbs of Beijing, so Zhengde has to go through half of Beijing when he goes to the military academy, and he can legitimately leave the capital. This is what makes Zhengde happiest. After all, he stays there all day long.

In this lifeless Forbidden City, he felt as if he was about to die.

When Gu Dayong heard Zhengde's instructions, he immediately agreed and asked someone to prepare Zhengde's horses. Speaking of which, Zhengde loved martial arts and even regarded himself as a military commander, so no matter where he went, he preferred riding horses to riding in cars.

It's a pity that he could only ride a horse in the Forbidden City before, but now with the military academy as an excuse, he can finally ride a horse to show off in Beijing.

The construction of the Royal Army School in Beijing has been completed, and the instructors and students have been recruited. Normal church services have begun this spring. When Zhengde rode his horse to the military school, the first thing he saw was the tall building in front of the military school.

This knight statue was carved according to the image of Zhengde. It is more than three feet high. The front hooves of the knight's horse are flying in the air, with its head held high and making a neighing gesture. The knight on the horse is holding a sword and pointing at the sky.

, looks mighty and extraordinary.

Zhengde was most satisfied with his statue. He had to stop his horse every time he was close to look at it carefully for a long time. In order to complete the statue, he not only sent out the last stonemason, but also borrowed several Europeans who knew how to carve from Zhou Chong.

The craftsmen combined the skills of both parties to complete the statue.

Zhengde looked at his statue as usual, and then he patted his horse with satisfaction and came to the gate of the military academy, then swung his saddle and dismounted. According to the rules in the military academy, no one is allowed to ride a horse in the military academy, and in accordance with the rules in the palace.

The same thing, unless they are students from the cavalry department practicing riding skills.

Zhengde is the principal of the military academy, but he takes the initiative to uphold the rules of the military academy, so every time he comes to the military academy, he will take the initiative to dismount. After all, even he, the emperor, has dismounted. Others who come to the military academy will not be ranked according to their rank.

, everyone must dismount, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the imperial power, and they may be caught by the Jin Yiwei and sent to prison.

It was already noon when Zhengde came, and it was lunch time at the military school. In front of the huge canteen of the military school, the cadets of the military school were arranged in neat lines in class units, waiting for the canteen to open. Zhengde also

There happened to be no lunch, so Gu Dayong asked Gu Dayong to find a rice bowl for himself, and went into the instructor's line to queue up to receive his meal.

The instructors and students in the military academy have become accustomed to Zhengde's arrival. At first, they felt a little frightened, but as time went by, they gradually got used to Zhengde's arrival, and Zhengde also asked people in the military academy to see him.

There is no need to salute when you come to him, and he likes to wear casual clothes, so if an outsider enters the military academy at this time, it is impossible to find out from the instructors and students who is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

When it was time to eat, the door of the cafeteria opened. Then the instructor team led by Zhengde advanced first, and the students behind them entered the cafeteria in order of class. However, even after entering the cafeteria, the team of students still could not be disbanded.

The class is a unit, and several people are sent to cook together. This was all proposed by Zhou Zhong in the military school's planning book, in order to cultivate the collective consciousness of the military school students. After all, the army does not allow individual heroism to exist.

Everyone must remember that they are a member of this group.

Although people in the military academy have become accustomed to the existence of Zhengde, Zhengde still has considerable privileges in some aspects. For example, when queuing up for meals, no one dares to stand in front of Zhengde. The cook in the cafeteria also knows the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty, you respectfully took the rice bowl from Zhengde's hand and filled it with two spoons of rice, one meat and one vegetarian dish, and half a cooked corn cob. There is no fruit in this season, otherwise the corn will be

Become some kind of fruit.

Zhengde took his own food and found a seat to sit down. Gu Dayong immediately stepped forward and tasted all of Zhengde's food. In fact, the food in the military academy has been strictly inspected, and the procedures are not much different from those of the imperial chef in the palace.

, there is no possibility of poisoning at all, but the rules in the palace are indispensable, at least Gu Dayong does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Zhengde likes to be lively and wants to find someone to accompany him even when eating. However, after searching throughout the military academy, only the old Duke of Wei, Xu Yan, was qualified to sit at the same table with him for dinner. Therefore, every time Zhengde came to the cafeteria to eat, he always wanted to have a meal with him.

Everyone would ask Xu Chu to sit with them, but today Zhengde sat down and looked left and right, but he didn't find Xu Chu, which made him a little strange.

A random instructor was pulled over to ask, and the other person bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the military academy has prepared a riding and shooting competition this afternoon. Both instructors and students in the military academy can participate. Superintendent Xu is probably going to inspect the competition.

The venue is already occupied, so I may come to the canteen to eat later.”

When Zhengde heard that the school was going to hold a competition, and it was his favorite horse riding and shooting, he was very excited. After finishing his meal in a few seconds, he asked where the competition venue was, and he rushed there excitedly.

, it turned out that not only Xu Yan was here, but Qiu Yue, the head instructor of the military academy, was also here.

"Haha, why haven't you gone to eat yet? I've just finished eating and am waiting to watch the game at the military academy in the afternoon." Wu Qing walked up to him with a smile and said, Xu Yan is highly respected among the nobles, even if he is

When Zhengde saw him, he had to be polite.

"Haha, Your Majesty is here just in time. Since you have already had your meal, why not let Your Majesty take over the old minister's job and inspect the competition venue?" I am afraid that Xu Chu is the only one in the entire military academy who dares to assign tasks to Zhengde, but this time

This is what Zhu Houzhao likes most about Xu, because being able to personally participate in the daily activities of the military academy will give Zhengde a sense of accomplishment. This sense of accomplishment even makes him happier than the Ming Dynasty winning external battles. This is what Zhengde likes.

One of the reasons for coming to military school.

"Although the old man is going to have a meal, I will help you inspect the competition venue. However, the old man must allow me to participate in the riding and shooting competition this afternoon. No matter whether I win or lose, I will be very happy!" Zhu Houzhao also agreed with a smile.

, and at the same time he also made his own demands.

"No problem, but your Majesty must be in the last place when riding and shooting. Otherwise, the competitors in front may not dare to surpass your Majesty's score, and such a competition will be meaningless." Xu Yan laughed again at this time.

.

"Okay! I also want to see the real results of the instructors and students in the military academy. Then I will have to see how many people are better than me in riding and shooting!" Zhengde also said with a look of reluctance;

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is naturally very proficient in riding and shooting. Among other things, Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, is very good at riding and shooting. However, he loses nine out of ten games against Zhengde. He does not believe that people in the military academy can compete with each other.

Ning's riding and shooting skills are strong.

Regarding Zhengde's self-confidence, Xu Yan smiled slightly and did not directly refute. He had also seen Zhengde's so-called riding and archery skills. He had to say that Zhengde had worked hard, but riding and archery could only rely on real training.

It is difficult to produce real masters. Only after being baptized on the battlefield can some real marksmen be produced. Therefore, although Zhengde's riding and archery skills can be called good, compared with the masters in the army, they are still inferior.

For example, among the instructors there are many generals who came from the frontier army. Their riding and shooting skills are not comparable to those of Zhengde, a rookie on the battlefield.

Xu went to the cafeteria to eat, and Zhengde personally inspected the competition venue. In fact, there was nothing to inspect. He just wanted to see if there were any potholes on the horse track, whether the archery target was solid, etc., which were all trivial.

Small matters like this would normally only require inspection by ordinary instructors, but since Xu Ren became the school superintendent, he has put all his efforts into the military academy, and he needs to personally review everything, no matter how big or small, before he can rest assured.

After Zhengde inspected the playing field, Xu You finally came back from dinner. After Zhengde told him a few minor problems on the playing field, Xu You immediately ordered people to rectify them. At this time, Zhengde smiled and said
Chapter completed!
