Chapter 394: The Candidate to Replace Xue Rengui

The same thing is said, doing what you are good at is also the experience summarized by Zhang Zong some time ago. In addition to gardening, he is only good at teaching. Since he can create a medical school, he can also create other professional schools, such as military, which has a much greater impact than medicine.

"Military School?" Li Zhi frowned at Zhang Zong's suggestion, and then showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he spoke again, "Tell me what you think!"

"The inheritance of military art is actually very similar to medicine. It is passed down from master, apprentice, father and son, and is even more conservative than medicine. Many generals regard military art as a family heirloom, and they are easily refused to follow it. They only teach their own sons. Others have no way to learn it..."

Zhang Zong did not rush to introduce the military school he had imagined, but instead explained the military strategy in detail. Li Zhi actually knew about these situations, but he never regarded it as a problem in the past.

"In fact, when Emperor Taizong was in power, he had already discovered this problem, so Emperor Taizong issued an order to ask Duke Wei to teach the art of war to Duke of England, Duke Xing and others. All of these people were famous generals of my Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, this matter did not form a fixed rule, otherwise our Tang army would be stronger!" Finally, Zhang Zong concluded again.

The more you understand the history of the Tang Dynasty, the more you will discover the greatness of Li Shimin. For example, he had long discovered that many generals who rose from the grass could sum up their experience from the battlefield, but lacked the guidance of military theory. So Li Shimin ordered Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and others to learn military tactics from Li Jing, which greatly improved the military talents of these people and laid the foundation for the great achievements of these people on the battlefield.

When Li Zhi heard Zhang Zong finally use his father as an example, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, but soon he said with some concern: "Your idea is very good, but have you ever thought about it? If all the generals in the army come from the same school, wouldn't it be even more unsafe?"

"It is not completely unsafe for many generals to go out of the same school. For example, what if these people were all disciples of the Emperor?" Zhang Zong replied without thinking. He had considered this question a long time ago. He even suspected that the reason why Li Shimin did not let more generals learn military tactics from Li Jing was probably worried about this issue.

"Son of the Emperor?" Li Zhi did not react for a while when he heard Zhang Zong's answer. Although some people knew that Jinshi was a disciple of the Emperor, it was still very strange to use this title on military generals.

"Yes, military power is the foundation, and the loyalty of military generals is the key to controlling the army. Therefore, military schools must be different from medical schools. I suggest that His Majesty personally take charge of the military school. In addition, in addition to teaching military knowledge, the school must also instill in them the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Although it cannot guarantee that everyone is really loyal to the emperor and patriotism, it is also more reliable than other generals..."

As Zhang Zong said that, he explained the military academy training system in later generations in detail. It has to be said that military academy is indeed an amazing invention. It not only scales the training of military talents and improves the level of military talents, but also ensures the loyalty of the generals to the emperor to a certain extent, and even binds the generals to the emperor's interests, strengthens the emperor's control over the army, etc.

Li Zhi became more and more excited as he listened, but he was the emperor after all, and he could still control his emotions. After Zhang Zong finished speaking, he slowly calmed down and carefully considered Zhang Zong's plan from beginning to end.

Zhang Zong did not disturb Li Zhi's thinking. After all, for such a big thing, Li Zhi would definitely seriously consider the gains and losses to avoid any mistakes.

After a while, Li Zhi suddenly looked up and stared at Zhang Zong with bright eyes and said, "Not bad! Very good. Your idea has indeed solved many problems. It seems that I did not misread you. Honger is relieved with your assistance!"

"Your Majesty is so serious. I have only expressed my own ideas. Your Majesty still needs to make a plan for it in real implementation!" Zhang Zong said very modestly. He had long expected that with Li Zhi's shrewdness, he would definitely agree with his ideas about the military academy.

"It's not too late to do this. Since you have planned a medical school before, the affairs of this military school should be handed over to the end. Do you need my help?" Li Zhi said again. He felt that he had no time left, so he was very anxious about some things and wanted to get everything done before leaving, so that Li Hong would have less trouble in the future.

"The military school must need the full help of Your Majesty. Not to mention anything else, it may be difficult to find a teacher in the school. I hope Your Majesty can issue an order to invite some generals who are familiar with military strategy and have rich experience to come to the military school to take charge. It is better than I think that the veteran general Xue is a good candidate." Zhang Zong also spoke without hesitation.

The military academy is not as good as the medical school. In this era, the status of a doctor is still relatively low. Even the imperial doctors in the palace are not of high rank, but the military generals are different. Especially those veterans with great military achievements are even more powerful. Without Li Zhi's nod and help, this military academy could not be built at all.

"I still need Xue Rengui to take charge of the army. I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to help you share the military academy affairs?" Li Zhi heard Zhang Zong want Xue Rengui, but suddenly showed a hesitant expression. He ordered Xue Rengui back to Beijing to use it. If Xue Rengui focused on the military academy, it would disrupt his plan.

"The military academy is no better than other ones. In addition to Your Majesty's nominal command of the military academy, he also needs a general who has made great achievements and can subdue other people to take charge. General Xue is the most suitable candidate. Of course, if General Xue doesn't have time, Your Majesty can also choose a person of weight and help me build a military academy. However, even if his prestige and qualifications are not as bad as General Xue, he cannot be too bad, at least he can subdue most people." Zhang Zong said helplessly when he heard this.

In Zhang Zong's opinion, Xue Rengui is the most suitable candidate, but now Xue Rengui has an important position, so it is indeed inconvenient to help him build a military academy. However, looking at the court everywhere, it is really difficult to find people who can replace Xue Rengui. Of course, if Li Jing is resurrected, he is more suitable than Xue Rengui. Unfortunately, Li Jing, even Li Ji, Su Dingfang and others who have studied Li Jing's military arts are no longer alive.

Hearing Zhang Zong’s request, Li Zhi fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about who could replace Xue Rengui. After a while, Li Zhi suddenly slapped his thigh and said, “I remembered it, why did I forget him!”
