Chapter 186 What are you?

In the Tiechejun barracks, Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu walked into the camp together. Because the Tiechejun had been transferred to Goryeo, there were only dozens of noble children left, so the entire barracks seemed very empty, and even the soldiers guarding the gate seemed a little listless.

"When Brother Mu left, the entire military camp was empty, and it felt a little desolate?" Zhu Yunxiu also looked around when he entered the military camp. He used to come to the Tiecajun. Mu Sheng and he were both Lao Zhu's grandchildren, so they were also called brothers.

"It's okay if you're empty, you can just transform it into martial arts!" Li Jie was walking while observing the entire military camp, and his mind was also planning for future martial arts transformation. Martial arts are no more than other academies, and it requires a lot of space to practice, so this empty military camp can just be used to transform it into martial arts.

"Is martial arts really that important?" Zhu Yunxiu also heard Li Jie mention martial arts many times along the way, and even the emperor's grandfather and father served as chief and deputy chief ministers respectively, which was unprecedented.

"That's natural. Your Highness, you have to remember that to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than military and political power. Among these two powers, military power is the premise. Only by mastering the army can imperial power have the basis for exercise. Therefore, no matter when, the emperor must firmly hold military power in his hands, otherwise he will only become a puppet of the minister!" Li Jie also warned Zhu Yunxi very seriously at this time.

Zhu Yunxiu also showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this. After a while, he looked up and said, "I understand, thank you for reading by Li Pao!"

"That's all right, but you can't change your words in advance and call me brother-in-law?" Li Jie said helplessly.

"That won't work. I will change my words when you and my sister officially get married!" Zhu Yunxiu said stubbornly. This is a matter of principle.

Li Jie was speechless and had to let him go. However, judging from Lao Zhu's appearance, he would have to wait until next year to get married. Of course, this is just Li Jie's estimate, and the marriage may be pushed back.

"Cousin, everyone has been summoned, and I'll wait for you to pass!" At this moment, Liu Yi suddenly rushed over and shouted to Li Jie with excitement.

"Come now!" Li Jie agreed and took Zhu Yunxie forward, and then the three of them came to the meeting room together. Last time Li Jie came here, Mu Sheng brought him, but he ran into Liu Ying with a group of noble princes here to listen to the opera, without any appearance in the military camp.

However, when Li Jie entered the conference hall this time, he found that these princes were very different from last time. The most obvious change was that they were divided into two factions. One faction was wearing a military robe, with straight waists and a thin black face full of virility. These people were the princes who were willing to participate in Mu Sheng's training before. Although they were disappointed that they could not go to the army before, the previous training still caused them to change greatly.

Compared to these people, the other princes next to him still looked careless. These people gathered together in groups of three or five, without sitting or standing, and even had a few makeup on them. They looked like women were masturbating, but they had all kinds of people anyway.

Liu Ying is not here because he went to the Ministry of Works to ask for people. After all, the entire military camp needs to be transformed into martial arts, and the cooperation of the Ministry of Works must be required. In addition, as a scholar, Liu Ying is not convenient for him to come forward in person. It is more appropriate for Li Jie to do some things.

Li Jie walked up to everyone, then looked at them and then smiled, "I guess everyone knows me too. My name is Li Jie. Liu Ying, the commander of the Tie Ce Army, is my uncle. In addition, I have just been named Jinghai Bo recently!"

As soon as Li Jie said something, everyone showed a look of shock. Of course they knew Li Jie. After all, he was Li Shanchang's only surviving grandson, so Li Jie's reputation had long been spread among the nobles, not to mention that Li Jie was also Liu Ying's nephew, and he had also come to Tiecajun many times before.

But what they never expected was that Li Jie was named Earl at a young age. Although the lowest among these people in their families was a marquis, it was a family title, not earned by them. Li Jie's title was a real contribution, and it was impossible to compare it to him.

"Isn't it just an earl? Why are you showing off?" But at this moment, there was a disharmonious voice below.

When Li Jie heard the sound, he saw a tall and thin man sitting with several noble princes around him. Li Jie also knew him. His name was Xu Tianshou, who was Xu Da's youngest son. After Xu Da's death, his eldest son Xu Huizu inherited the title of Duke of Wei. Because Xu Huizu had no son yet, he sent his younger brother Xu Tianshou to the Tie Ce Army as a magistrate.

"Of course a little count is nothing, but... what are you?" Li Jie looked at Xu Tianshou and sneered. He didn't expect that someone would really dare to emerge, but this happened to use the other party to establish his authority.

"You... dare you scold me?" Xu Tianshou also slapped his anger when he heard this, and asked Li Jieqi with his hands. As the youngest son of General Xu Da, he has been favored since he was a child. His family dared not even say anything serious to him, let alone scold him.

At this time, the others also woke up from the shock. Seeing the conflict between Xu Tianshou and Li Jie, they also showed playful expressions. They didn't know why Li Jie came to Tiecajun, but Xu Tianshou was famously arrogant. If they had a conflict, there would be a good show.

"What's wrong with scolding you? I not only want to scold you, but also hit you!" Li Jie didn't talk about any kindness at all, picked up the paperweight on the table and smashed it directly.

Xu Tianshou was just a playboy who bullied others with power. He never expected that Li Jie would do it directly. As a result, the paperweight hit his face, which made Xu Tianshou scream, covered his face and fell on the table and couldn't get up.

Everyone around was also shocked. No one expected that Li Jie was even more arrogant than Xu Tianshou and directly hit someone. You must know that the Duke of Wei was not easy to mess with. Even if Li Jie had a special status, Li Shanchang behind him had already fallen. He is just a small count now. Even if he is the son-in-law of the prince, the Duke of Wei was not easily provoked by him.

However, Li Jie glanced at everyone with a sharp look. Now everyone didn't dare to look at him anymore, for fear that he would really anger him. Li Jie was also secretly happy. He and Lao Zhu learned to smash things with them. Not to mention, it was really good, no wonder Lao Zhu liked them so much.

"Your Majesty has an order to establish martial arts from now on. Your Majesty personally serves as the chief of the mountain. The crown prince is the deputy chief of the mountain, the marquis of Yihui Liu Ying is the chief of the academic master, and the marquis of Jinghai Li Jie is the young scholar. You all enter the martial arts and are the first students in martial arts!" At this time, Li Jie solemnly announced Lao Zhu's decree.

"Wow~" As soon as Li Jie said, the lower part immediately exploded. Even Xu Tianshou, who was screaming, raised his face and looked at Li Jie with disbelief, forgot to wipe the blood from his forehead.

"Fu Rang, where is Feng Chen?" Li Jie suddenly called out the names of the two people.

"I'm here!" Two young men stood up and saluted, with their expressions on their faces very respectful. They had seen Li Jie's methods just now, but they didn't even take them seriously, so they didn't want to get into trouble anymore.

Li Jie looked at the two young men. Among them, the tall and dark-faced young man on the left side was Fu Rang, who was the youngest son of Fu Youde, Duke Yingguo. Feng Chen, who was of medium figure but had a strong face, was the son of General Feng Sheng. These two men were willing to participate in the training before, and performed quite well. Mu Sheng once said that the talents of these two men were not inferior to him.

"You two are very good. Mu Sheng praised you many times before. Now that martial arts is established, the students will be divided into two classes. You will serve as the class monitors and each leads one class to practice!" Li Jie said again at this time. There were not many students in the first batch, and one class was enough, but Li Jie felt that the two classes could increase some competition.

"Li Shaoxue, I want to ask, what is this martial arts for?" Feng Chen did not agree immediately, but asked Li Jie.

"Martial arts originated from the former Song Dynasty and were used to train military generals for the court. Now it is only the initial establishment and the scale is not large. The first batch of students is only you. If you have achieved success in your studies in the future, you will be sent to the army to serve. As for whether you can make achievements, it depends on what skills you can learn!" Li Jie briefly introduced.

"Li Shaoxue, what do you mean is that as long as we can learn martial arts, we can join the army?" Fu Rang next to him also asked Li Jie with a look of surprise.

"Not bad!" Li Nodded, "I'll just say something clearly. You are all nobles, and your father and grandfather have followed His Majesty's South and North Battle Station and made great achievements. It is precisely because of them that you can come here. However, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with you. Compared to your father and grandfather, what are you doing now?"

At the end, Li Jie also glanced at everyone again, but everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at him, even Feng Chen and Fu Rang. Although they also had their own ambitions, they were really far behind their fathers.

"You are nobles of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty also hopes that you can make achievements for the Ming Dynasty like your father and grandfather. That's why you established martial arts and teach you the ability to lead troops to fight. In the future, as long as you can complete your studies from martial arts, you will be awarded a military position immediately, and it will be a real military position. It is not to let you gain some money in the army and gain some qualifications!" Li Jie said again.

The so-called "benefiting from wealth" is actually a paving method commonly used by nobles for their descendants. They are to use their influence in the army to hold a false position in the army and follow others to make a contribution on the battlefield. This will make it easier to be promoted in the future. However, although the promotion is fast, they have not received real training, which will cause great hidden dangers to the army.
