Yang Cong's outlook on hot weapons really made Zhao Shichun's blood boil. He immediately volunteered to help Yang Cong compile the "Theory of Investigating Things and Knowing the Art of War".

Yang Cong naturally wanted to help him edit books. Zhao Shichun was a person who almost became the top scholar. Not only was he outstanding in talent, but he also had a long-term future. As long as he was willing to be inferior to Jiajing, with his qualifications, it would be very simple to be able to become the Minister of the Six Ministry of the Secretariat or even the Minister of the Six Ministry of the Secretariat.

Unfortunately, this hot weapon weapon is not so easy to compile. Although Yang Cong mentioned it, and although the Hanlin Academy has countless collections of military tactics, the hot weapon weapon weapon weapon technique does not have ready-made military tactics for reference. He is equivalent to imagining a military tactic out of thin air, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Zhao Shichun racked his brains and thought hard, but the results were very little. This new military strategy seemed to be impossible to build behind closed doors. It would be best to lead the troops to practice on the battlefield and explore slowly.

Can official positions in the battlefield these days?

Of course!

The rule of the Ming Dynasty was that civil officials commanded military generals. In other words, if there were any wars in the court, they would usually send a civil official to be the commander and lead a group of military generals to go to war with the enemy.

This rule is indeed a bit ridiculous, but it may be an opportunity for Zhao Shichun and Yang Cong.

Zhao Shichun was originally the head of the Ministry of War, and now he has a gold medal in the Hanlin Academy. If he operates it, it is not impossible to be promoted to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of War. Then he will be appointed as the Censor of the Censorate for a few years and find a way to be promoted to the Right Censor of the Censorate, and he will be qualified to govern Bianzhen and lead his army to fight against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

This matter is a bit difficult to operate, but with Yang Cong's current energy, it is not an impossible goal. Therefore, when Zhao Shichun talked about his thoughts to Yang Cong, Yang Cong became a little moved.

Perhaps, it would be nice to let Zhao Shichun go to Shanxi to be a governor. It happened that his father was alone there. If there was a governor to protect him, he would be at ease.

Is this idea reliable?

To be honest, this idea is quite unreliable.

In history, Zhao Shichun really served as the governor of Shanxi, and actually led troops to fight with the Northern Yuan cavalry.

Unfortunately, he was a Zhao Kuo-like figure. He was very powerful in talking about war on paper, but he couldn't lead troops to fight. He led his army to encounter the Northern Yuan cavalry in Guangwu, but his generals did not obey the orders. As a result, he was defeated in one battle and almost wiped out the entire army.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed. Yan Song was in power at that time, and the court was in chaos and the border generals had no confidence and avoided fighting. No matter how good he was in military skills, it would be useless.

This incident was mixed at that time. Those who criticized it believed that the border generals avoided fighting, and the governor should seize the city and defend it, and not lead the army to fight in person; those who praised it believed that the border generals had no courage and the governor led the army, which was worthy of admiration.

In short, although Zhao Shichun was outstanding in talent and also loved military tactics, he was not a talent for generals. If he was really capable, even if the border generals at that time had no confidence, he should be able to organize it. If he could not organize it, it proved that he still had certain flaws. If Yang Cong really sent him to the border, it would probably be a big failure in his life.

Fortunately, at this time, another capable person was reinstated.

This person is Tang Shunzhi, the first in the second class of the Ji Chou test in the eighth year of Jiajing. He was also transferred to the Hanlin Academy as an editor.

When Tang Shun came, Luo Hongxian and Zhao Shichun were so excited that they were too excited because Luo Hongxian was the top scorer in the Ji Chou test in the eighth year of Jiajing. The two were in the same subject, one ranked first in the first class and the other ranked first in the second class. They had a very good relationship. Zhao Shichun and Tang Shunzhi were like each other. Tang Shunzhi was also quite interested in military tactics and had also served as the head of the Ministry of War.

In fact, Yang Cong had a certain relationship with Tang Shunzhi, because Tang Shunzhi was a proud disciple of Wang Ji, one of the representative figures of the Yangming lineage.

Wang Ji and Nie Bao are both the seven sons of the Yang Sect, while Yang Cong, Nie Bao and Xu Jie's master-apprentice relationship is extraordinary. If we talk about this, Tang Shunzhi and him are also considered to be in the same group.

This Tang Shunzhi is not a simple character, but a legendary figure with both civil and military skills. It can be said that in the entire Yangming lineage, only he truly inherited Wang Shouren's mantle, because everyone else inherited Wang Shouren's literary talent, and Tang Shunzhi not only inherited Wang Shouren's literary talent, but also inherited Wang Shouren's martial arts.

Tang Shunzhi in history has made great achievements in military achievements. Not only did he use tricks to help Hu Zongxian divide and dismantle the two major Japanese pirate leaders Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, leaving the Japanese pirates without a leader, but he also led his troops to attack, winning repeatedly, and defeating the Japanese pirates fled in a hurry.

Unfortunately, Yan Song, a treacherous minister, was in power at that time. No matter how talented he was, he would not be valued. Moreover, his years of fighting with Japanese pirates made him exhausted and his roots were deeply rooted in his illness. He could not even walk steadily, let alone killing Japanese pirates.

In the end, he knew that he had not had much time and it was impossible to wipe out the Japanese pirates in his lifetime, so he taught Qi Jiguang the "Wu Bian", which he had devoted his life to, and there was the prototype of the mandarin duck formation, "Mandarin duck army".

It was on the basis of the Mandarin Duck Faction that made the Japanese pirates frightened, thus destroying the Japanese pirates and becoming famous. Qi Jiguang has repeatedly admitted that this Mandarin Duck Faction was not created by him, but passed on from a master, who was Tang Shunzhi.

The arrival of Tang Shunzhi led to the compilation of "Theory of Understanding of Things and the Art of War". He was not a half-hearted person like Yang Cong who talked about military tactics based on several books in later generations, nor was he a layman like Zhao Shichun who only talked about military tactics on paper. He was really proficient in military tactics and had some experience in the application of muskets and artillery, and he was naturally very skilled in compiling his "Theory of Understanding of Things and the Art of War".

With the addition of Tang Shunzhi, Yang Cong's acquaintances in the Hanlin Academy became more and more acquaintances. Everyone discussed "Theory of Investigating Things and Achievement" every day, and soon formed their own circle. Yang Cong gradually gained a certain understanding of his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

Nowadays, those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are all heroes for a while. Logically speaking, they should have a prosperous career, but the truth is not like this at all.

For example, Luo Hongxian, the top student in the Jichou test in the eighth year of Jiajing, has been six years, and he is just a Hanlin Academy editor, and his official position has not changed at all, and there is no sign of promotion at this moment.

For example, Tang Shunzhi, who was the first in the second place in the Ji Chou Palace Examination in the eighth year of Jiajing. He has been six years old and is just an editor of the seventh-grade Hanlin Academy.

Not to mention Zhao Shichun, the third place in the second place in the fifth year of Jiajing, and after nearly ten years of being in the second grade, he was still an editor of the seventh-grade Hanlin Academy.

What's going on? Isn't it like entering the Hanlin Academy to be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet? Why are their careers so dim?
