A few days later, Liu Yan arrived at the Qingzhou Fucheng military camp. The sites for the Qinglai Town Military Academy and the Qinglai Town Martial Arts Hall had been selected, and Tian Huixu was recruiting craftsmen and civilians to build them quickly. These two military academies are located in the north of the city, adjacent to two intersections, very close to each other.
However, before the Qinglai Town Military Academy and the Qinglai Town Yanwu Hall were completed, the "plastic talents" drawn from each battalion had already been gathered in the military camp. The first batch of freshmen of the Qinglai Town Military Academy was in this temporary school. Started his own study career.
Although the new army in Qinglai Town is now very powerful, the generals of each battalion have basically grown up in actual combat, and almost no one has gone through systematic learning. This is not a long-term solution. In the startup period, you can use a grassroots team to support the scene, but when it really grows and develops, you must use professionals.
Now Qinglai Town has begun to establish a complete set of new school systems. People of school age in various places can enroll in new schools in various prefectures and counties, and go up to the higher education level step by step. After graduation, they can study in Qinglai according to their personal learning conditions. Various industries in Lai Town have gained a livelihood.
Moreover, in addition to ordinary schools that teach literacy, the Four Books and Five Classics, Liu Yan also ordered the addition of some professional schools, such as mining schools, business schools, agricultural schools, etc., specifically recruiting skilled students from various industries. Craftsman acts as Mr.
As for the military academies, Liu Yan paid more attention to it. He personally compiled the textbooks for the two military academies, covering everything from troop formations, composition of arms, training of new recruits, creation of military equipment, etc. Liu Yan even summoned all battalions to The commander sorted out the battles that the New Army had experienced in the past and used them as battle examples. He continued to analyze the successes and failures in the military academy and summarized experiences and lessons.
Liu Yan believes that the knowledge taught in the military academy should be based on the historical fighting experience of the New Army in Qinglai Town. These experiences were obtained with the blood of the New Army soldiers in Qinglai Town, so they should not be spread out arbitrarily and can only be taught to New army general.
In addition, in order to improve the cultural level of the New Army officers, Liu Yan stipulated that the officers who studied in Qinglai Town Military Academy and Qinglai Town Yanwu Hall must pass the graduation examination. Otherwise, no matter how great their military exploits are in the future, as long as they do not have these two schools A diploma from a military academy will not allow you to be promoted!
If new army officers want to graduate, they must have a certain level of education. They must be able to read and write, write articles, and read a certain number of books. What Liu Yan can be sure of is that every new army officer who graduates from Qinglai Town Military Academy and Qinglai Town Martial Arts Hall will have at least the level of a supervisor.
Of course, if we compare the Four Books and Five Classics, the graduated New Army officers will definitely be inferior to the supervisor students, but in terms of vision and knowledge, they are far superior to the supervisor students.
At the same time, Liu Yan also stipulated that the generals of each battalion should be inspected by the instructors of the Qinglai Town Military Academy and the Qinglai Town Martial Arts Hall to check the literacy rate of the soldiers in each battalion at any time. Those who failed to pass the test would be punished by the commander.
Liu Yan wanted to comprehensively improve the knowledge level of the soldiers through this move. Only in this way can the soldiers better understand why they are fighting. This is also the difference between the modern army and the feudal army.
Liu Yan inspected the first batch of students at the military academy in the military camp, and gave an opening speech in public, calling on everyone to study hard, seize the great opportunity to study in the military academy, and not to waste their days.
More than 370 soldiers from the first batch of trainees were excited. They cheered after Liu Yan's impassioned speech, and some even shouted long live.
However, Xu Ming, Miao Shao, Qian Qian and others who were accompanying them were a little confused as to why a warrior would go to a military academy to study. As long as he could read and read, what else could he learn?
None of the generals had attended a military academy before. Didn't they defeat slave and bandit armies several times? Didn’t he also lead the new army of Qinglai Town into the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty?
After inspecting the first batch of students, Liu Yan and a few others returned to the official office, and Qian Qian was the first to ask.
Liu Yan believes that the warriors of the Ming Dynasty have begun to become complete warriors, and their research on the art of war and martial arts is far from comparable to that of the generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
I think back then, the generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties were all good at both civil and military affairs. When they went out, they led hundreds of thousands of troops across the desert and conquered the world. When they entered, they went to the palace to worship the prime minister, benefiting the people and assisting the king!
It is precisely because of this that the Han and Tang Dynasties could become the pinnacle of China and the palace in the hearts of all descendants of Yan and Huang!
Therefore, Liu Yan wanted to use his own efforts to at least train the generals of the new army battalions in Qinglai Town to be as versatile as the generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, with both civil and military skills.
Even if he couldn't "cheat everyone" like the generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, at least he was far stronger than the generals of other towns in the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Xu Ming, Miao Shao, Qian Cong and others understood Liu Yan's intentions. No matter how much they were unwilling, they all acted patiently and followed the rules and did their own affairs well.
However, a few days later, Tian Huixu, who was in charge of the preparations for the establishment of the military academy, rushed to the General Military Mansion to report the matter. After meeting with Liu Yan, Tian Huixu reported some of the recent information collected by the Intelligence Department.
After the two men finished their discussion, Liu Yan asked, "What do the officers and soldiers of each battalion think of the establishment of a military academy now?"
Tian Huixu said: "Most of the generals in the army still have reservations about this matter, but all the generals can follow the orders of the general town, and the first batch of assembled generals can also start learning with peace of mind. All battalions are commanded We have also begun to look for candidates for the second phase of admission."
"So, there are still people in each battalion who agree with the establishment of a military academy?"
Tian Huixu nodded and said, "There are quite a few people, but most of them are junior generals of each battalion."
"That's it..."
Having said this, Liu Yan had another idea, which was to imitate the political committee setup of the people's army in later generations and set up comfort officers in each battalion of the New Army in Qinglai Town.
Liu Yan planned to set up comfort officers at the general level of each battalion to specifically provide psychological counseling for the soldiers in each battalion and boost the morale of the soldiers during the battle. Their role would be like the political commissars of later generations.
Once this idea was formed, Liu Yan was ready to implement it immediately. After all, the reason why the powerful army of later generations was able to recruit and win the battle was due to many factors, but the role of the political commissar was also very huge. .
The addition of comfort officers to the new army in Qinglai Town will definitely make the new army in Qinglai Town even more powerful.
Therefore, Liu Yan said to Tian Huixu: "This town has an idea, which is to summon all the grassroots generals from each battalion who agree to establish a military academy and gather them at the General Military Mansion. This town will personally conduct inspections on these grassroots generals. training.”m.
Tian Huixu asked in confusion: "What does the general town mean?"
"This town is planning to add a comfort officer position to each battalion!"
"Soothing Officer?"
Seeing Tian Huixu's confused expression, Liu Yan explained the responsibilities and functions of the comfort officer.
After hearing this, Tian Huixu was also very surprised and said: "This comfort officer is really ingenious. If it is successfully set up, it will really play a role in motivating the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the military!"
"exactly!"
A few days later, the central headquarters issued a document and the military headquarters issued an order to mobilize hundreds of grassroots generals from the new army battalions in Qinglai Town. It only took a dozen days for these hundreds of grassroots generals to gather. Qingzhou Fucheng.
Liu Yan also met with these soldiers at the General Military Mansion of Qinglai Town.
"This town has selected you and entrusts you with great achievements!"
Liu Yan looked at the excited expressions of everyone and said loudly: "From today on, you will receive training in the camp in the city. Your original official positions will be removed, and this training will be personally handled by this town."
"After the one-month training, you will be sent to each battalion in the army to take up new official positions. This official position is the newly established comfort officer in the army!"
Then, Liu Yan announced the duties of the comfort officer.
After listening to this, all the soldiers also understood that the official position of the comfort officer was comparable to that of the picket officer under the town governor Xun Jingyun, who was specifically responsible for stabilizing the morale of the troops and boosting morale.
After the hundreds of generals dispersed, Liu Yan was also ready to hunt rabbits. While training comfort officers, he also shaped the spiritual level of these generals who participated in the training, so that everyone would know why the new army in Qinglai Town came into being. war.
Although the training only lasts for a short month, Liu Yan plans to regularly conduct rotation training for comfort officers in various battalions in the military in the future to continuously improve the quality of comfort officers. This will be a continuous plan.
A month later, the ninety-eight first batch of comfort officers carefully trained by Liu Yan successfully graduated. They were then assigned by the military headquarters to the new army battalions in Qinglai Town and began to exercise their powers as comfort officers.
Of course, compared to the more than 80,000 new army officers and soldiers in Qinglai Town, these ninety-eight comfort officers are still too few, and only one comfort officer can be set up for each general.
Therefore, Liu Yan gave everyone another task, which was to discover and cultivate "seeds" in the military who could become comfort officers.
Liu Yan is going to start the selection and training of the second batch of comfort officers after a period of precipitation, and eventually the number of comfort officers in the new army in Qinglai Town will reach one per flag, or even one per team!
In early October, Liu Yan saw that preparations for the construction of new schools and military academies were in full swing, and enrollment and teaching work were also in full swing, so he began to fully implement the new policy in Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture.
Liu Yan ordered: All generals in Qinglai Town should dismiss their servants; the local guards immediately began to eliminate the old and the weak, and recruited young and strong military households to fill the vacancies; the local guards should re-assess the cultivated land of military households, and those with insufficient cultivated land would be managed by the local area. Team officers and defense officers are responsible for leading the crowd to reclaim wasteland; at the same time, all departments in Qinglai Town must verify all books and files, and all falsified case files must be cleared immediately, and relevant persons must be questioned together.
At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce led by Wang Jing and various workshops managed by Song Gongming also entered Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture, began to maintain business ties with merchants from various places, and opened new workshops in suitable locations in various places.
With the full rollout of Liu Yan's New Deal, Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture suddenly set off a wave of panic, and the officials, squires, etc. were in panic.
On the eighth day of October, Liu Yan received an order from Lu Xiangsheng and prepared to go to Jinan Fucheng to report to Governor Lu Xiangsheng and Governor Yan Jizu.
Describe the situation of Qinglai Town Military Academy, Liu Yan's lectures, explain firearms warfare, future military development, the situation of the Ming Dynasty, etc.
Generals at all levels, including flag officers and above, must take turns to learn, and they must also train special troops to praise the painting.
Some people died, but not completely...
