The Royal Military Academy naturally adopts two methods of direct selection and registration examination.

Direct selection is mainly to select outstanding officers and soldiers from the Imperial Guards for training for officer students. These officers and soldiers have undergone theoretical training such as literacy, ideological education, historical geography, etc., so it is not difficult to train officer students.

The registration exam is for enrolling students in the entire society. No matter whether it is high or low, or whether it is high or low, as long as you are willing to serve the country, be loyal to Your Majesty, and shed blood for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, you can register for reference.

Of course, the admission exam for officers is naturally not as simple as recruiting soldiers. The proportion of cultural courses here is significantly more serious.

The admissions committees established alone are all bigwigs in the military system. In addition to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Xiangsheng, and the imperial horse supervisor, the chief officer of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Huang Degong, the general officer of Jizhou, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong, and Xu Guangqi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, were also invited to Beijing to become admissions committee members and jointly evaluate the officers.

Zhu Youxiao was not worried that no one would refer to it, because the Royal Military Academy was of the same level as the Imperial College, and Lu Xiangsheng served as a priest. After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, he could directly be granted a Jinshi.

This temptation is enough to make young and middle-aged people who are determined to join the army. After all, not everyone is willing to gain fame by learning the Four Books and Five Classics.

Of course, this means that from now on, if you want to gain fame and fortune, you may not have to get the Four Books and Five Classics, from the county examination to the imperial examination; there are at least two ways now: one is to enter the Royal Academy of Engineering or the Royal Academy of Sciences; the other is to enter the Royal Military Academy.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao clearly stated that in the future, senior officials such as the Cabinet and the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers will not be limited to Hanlin, which means that if you are a Jinshi who graduated from the Royal Military Academy, you will also have the opportunity to participate in the core of the imperial rule.

This is also a way for Zhu Youxiao to break the rule of civil officials. It may no longer be difficult to become generals and ministers in the future, and the phenomenon of emphasizing civil and suppressing military affairs may be reduced or weakened as a result.

However, among the officers who were admitted directly this time, there were two of them a bit special.

The first one was Yang Tinglin, the first Tanhualang admitted in the eighth year of the Tianqi period, and the first Tanhualang admitted after Zhu Youxiao came to the Ming Dynasty. He made an action that everyone could not understand.

Yang Tinglin gave up the Hanlin official position that all scholars dream of, but he asked himself to enter the Imperial Guard and enter the Royal Military Academy.

This incident touched Zhu Youxiao very much. Through the publicity of newspapers and his own intentional guidance, some scholars have begun to change the concept of literati supremacy.

The second person was Xu Fo. Zhu Youxiao also let her go to the Royal Military Academy. Letting a woman enter the Military Academy for further studies is a more rebellious move after building a glass silver mirror, opening a bank, opening a Royal Industrial Company, and establishing the Royal Military Academy.

If it were in the early days of the Tianqi period or the Wanli period, I was afraid that all officials would have already attacked them. However, now Zhu Youxiao has completely controlled the central power. Even if some civil officials are dissatisfied with this, they would not dare to impeach Zhu Youxiao again. At most, they would scold Zhu Youxiao for not doing their jobs in private and causing trouble to the court.

Since Zhu Youxiao discovered that Xu Fo had excellent memory and tenacity, he had no intention of letting Xu Fo be an ordinary maid in the Forbidden City. After learning that the traitor Fan Wencheng who instigated Wu Xiang's troops to establish a country and disrupted Zhu Youxiao's entire plan was Fan Wencheng, who defected to the Tartars, Zhu Youxiao had the idea of ​​setting up a team dedicated to assassinating all kinds of traitors.

Zhu Youxiao chose Xu Fo, a person who was almost ignored by officials but had various specialties. First of all, her female identity created a good mask for her, and he wanted to let those who attempt to hinder their political ideals taste the power of this woman.

Although it was caused by external factors, Zhu Youxiao did not attack Wei Guangwei's daughter but chose to attack Xu Fo. It was not that he did not respect a humble maid like Xu Fo, but that he had the idea of ​​making Xu Fo the person he controlled, and of course, her body also included.

Now that Xu Fo has become his own person, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Xu Xianchun to take her to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei, and started her first lesson in Xu Fo becoming a killer in that darkest and cruel place.

Zhu Youxiao believes that under the training of Xu Xianchun, the great devil of the Jinyiwei, Xu Fo will not become ruthless. At least if she faces being bullied by the eunuch in the washing machine again, she will not only use cold eyes to express her inner anger, but will use hidden weapons or other methods to take the life of the bullied person.

Now that Xu Fo enters the Royal Military Academy, he is training in military literacy. The team responsible for assassinating traitors and traitors must also belong to the system of the Imperial Guards and cannot be influenced by outsiders.

With the establishment of the Royal Military Academy, Lu Xiangsheng's work burden had to be increased. Zhu Youxiao did not want him to die in the line of duty.

Zhu Youxiao considered letting Yang Sichang be Lu Xiangsheng's deputy and was responsible for the daily work of the Ministry of War.

Yang Sichang didn't know that Zhu Youxiao wanted to reuse him. At this time, he was still imprisoned in the East Factory prison. Until now, he didn't know what the young man was. He would even be afraid of Wang Guo, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

But just when he was puzzled, the dull prison door was suddenly opened, and a rare ray of light flashed in. Yang Sichang did not see who was standing at the prison door. He only heard one person say, "Your Majesty wants to summon someone named Yang Sichang, take him out, wash it up, and then send it to the palace."

In less than a month, Yang Sichang's life in the Dongchang cell seemed to have been in a trance for several lifetimes. Standing on the white marble steps in front of the palace, he seemed to remember the scene when he was chanting the title of a high school Jinshi. He was so proud that he saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day, but now after several years, he is still wearing white clothes, unknown in history, and even ended in prison.

"My minister Yang Sichang has met Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and walked towards Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang opened his eyes wide, but in a hurry, he knelt down directly: "I didn't know the saint's face that day, which violated Your Majesty's dignity. Please forgive me!"

Seeing that Yang Sichang was so sincere, Zhu Youxiao also felt a little fond of him and said, "I summoned you today, not asking you to apologize. My people of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to kneel down at will, even in front of me. Do you understand? Just like you dared to argue with the people of the Dongchang that day, you must have the backbone that scholars should have."

Yang Sichang said yes, but Zhu Youxiao didn't ask anything else, and asked directly: "I intend to agree to the Tartars' peace request. You know this, I want to hear your opinion."
