In the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, there is no trace of the huge stone lions on both sides of the gate. They have been replaced by two square brick platforms more than one foot high and three feet wide, with wooden pavilions built on them. Soldiers holding guns stand solemnly at the door, looking at Don’t squint.
On the ground outside the door, the eight characters "Soldiers are sacred and inviolable" are extremely clear, attracting people entering and leaving the martial arts hall.
Needless to say, this was a deliberate move by the emperor to improve the status of soldiers.
By the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it had become a rule to worship literature and suppress martial arts, and to use literature to govern military affairs. Its negative impact not only led to the incompetence and low self-esteem of the generals in the Song Dynasty, but also caused the loss of the martial spirit, and the martial arts disappeared. The Song Dynasty suffered humiliation in all its foreign wars, with few cases of victory over the other side.
Even a national hero like Yue Fei could be killed, which shows that the emperors and scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were extremely fragile in their bones.
Once a foreign enemy invades, military generals are authorized to charge into battle and fight through life and death. When the powerful enemy retreats, they immediately take back their military power and suppress and persecute them vigorously. The cycle continues and never stops. The same was true for Yue Fei and Zhang Xian of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou dynasty, and Meng Gong, Yu Jie and Wang Jian of Song Lizong dynasty.
The signboards on both sides of the gate, "Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death" and "Go to another way to get promoted and make a fortune" are inspiring and enlightening, which also demonstrates the purpose of Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, advocating the spirit of iron-blooded martial arts and putting an end to the military. The road of survival.
There were 60 million people in the Southern Song Dynasty. If martial arts prevailed in the army and the soldiers shared the same hatred of the enemy, even the powerful Mongolian Empire would be unable to do anything.
It is a pity that the inherent cowardice of the Southern Song Dynasty kings and scholar-bureaucrats, the never-ending internal fighting in the court, and the never-ending fear and suppression of military generals made tens of millions of Southern Song people become innocent victims.
Those who destroyed the Song Dynasty were Song people, not Mongols. The people of Qin had no time to mourn for themselves, so that future generations would mourn for them; if future generations mourned without taking note of it, they would also cause future generations to mourn for future generations again.
Entering the martial arts hall, in the middle of the front yard is the martial arts hall, surrounded by three floors on the east, west and north. The second floor above the north building is for inspections, facing the martial arts hall. The first floor is the school. Used for the headquarters office. There are classrooms on the east and west sides, with high and transparent floors and a large area.
Walking straight along the main road in the middle, in the attic in the middle of the courtyard, several stone tablets as tall as one person are erected facing north and south, facing each other in the house. The stone tablets are densely packed with words, taking the trouble to describe the great shame and humiliation in the history of the Song Dynasty.
The Chanyuan Alliance, the Jingkang Disgrace, the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the Jiading Peace Conference...
"...On Dingyou day in March of the second year of Jingkang, after the Jin army raided and looted, Zhang Bangchang was made emperor, and the country was named "Da Chu". Then they retreated in two groups; one group was supervised by Wanyan Zongwang, Huizong, Empress Zheng, the prince, and the emperor Sun, the consort, the princess, concubines and others went north along Huazhou, and the other party was under the supervision of Wanyan Zonghan, including Qinzong, Empress Zhu, the prince, the clan, Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and others, and went north along Zhengzhou. There are also thousands of people including religious musicians and craftsmen, carrying books, maps, treasures and artifacts, and no less than 100,000 men and women are returning north. The men of the clan have become slaves, and the women have become...
Needless to say, this was the disgrace of Jingkang and the great disgrace of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty in the history of the Song Dynasty.
"...the Song Dynasty professed its vassalage to the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Jin Dynasty, was appointed emperor by the Jin Dynasty. On every birthday and New Year's Day of the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had to send envoys to congratulate the king. The east was bounded by the middle flow of the Huaihe River, the west was bounded by Dashan Pass, and the south belonged to the Song Dynasty. The north belongs to gold. The Song Dynasty cut off most of the two states of Tang and Deng, as well as the two states of Shang and Qin, and gave them to gold.
The Song Dynasty paid 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 taels of silk each year as tribute to gold. Starting from the twelfth year of Shaoxing, they were moved to Sizhou every spring to pay..."
Needless to say, this was a historic and humiliating moment when Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gouge, killed the national hero Yue Fei, and the Jin people raised their glasses to celebrate, which was a humiliating loss of power, humiliation of the country, and loss of national prestige.
"In April of the second year of Kaixi, the Prime Minister Han Zhouzhou launched the "Kaixi Northern Expedition", hoping to regain his homeland in the north. Wu Xi's rebellion in Sichuan caused the frontline offensive to quickly collapse. Han Zhouzhou was also captured by the DPRK in November of the third year of Kaixi. He sent Shi Miyuan and others to conspire to kill him. Later, Shi Miyuan sent the heads of Han Kanzhou and others to the Jin Dynasty, and at the price of "the shame of the letter", he expressed his goodwill to the Jin Dynasty and asked for peace..."
In September of the first year of Jiading, the Song and Jin Dynasties reached the "Jiading Peace Agreement" and the "Kaixi Northern Expedition" ended in failure. Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang pretended to attack the Jin general Han Yuzhou and gave their heads to the Jin people. The certificate of credence stated that the gold owner was his uncle, and they were given 300,000 yuan in silver and silk each year. They also used 3 million yuan to redeem the lost land in Huaihe and Shaanxi. …
It is unheard of to kill an important war minister of a country and send his head to the enemy country. He is a servile man and has to endure humiliation. It is a shame and a great humiliation. It is unheard of!
The attic door is wide open, and students will see this scene when they lead to the dormitory in the backyard. Every word is heart-breaking. Never forget the past and be the guide for the future.
Needless to say, this is the patriotic education that the martial arts hall wants to show to the world and promote patriotism.
Zhao Hong stood by the window, watching the orderly recruitment of students on the teaching field, and it took him a long time to turn around.
The foundation of the army is officers, the foundation is at the grassroots level, and the key is talent.
Excellent middle and lower-level officers are not only the cornerstone of consolidating and stabilizing the army, but also the backbone of leading soldiers to complete tasks, and they are also the reserve force representing the future of the army.
The training manuals and drills were compiled by Zhao Hong based on his military training in later generations, as well as knowledge from movies, TV series, and the Internet. Anyway, the two newly added firearms drills, Thunderbolt and Artillery, are weapons that transcend the times, so you can let them be used as ink.
Except for firearms, the current teaching in the martial arts hall is not much different from martial arts. In addition to learning the "Seven Books", history, mathematics, and law are added. As for the medical department, Zhao Hong forcibly joined it.
The arms are divided into seven branches: infantry, cavalry, artillery, water, engineering, medical, and baggage.
Among them, the gunnery department is naturally the most important new addition.
The seven subjects are divided into academic subjects and technical subjects. Subjects naturally involve classroom learning, while technical subjects require on-site training.
The length of schooling in Jiangwu Hall is one year, half a year of studying in Jiangwu Hall, and half a year of internship in the military.
In the martial arts hall, the discipline is of course very strict. There are three hours of classes every day, 1-2 hours of exercise, a 20-mile cross-country run in the morning, self-study in the evening, and emergency training at night.
"Your Majesty, the instructors are here."
Wei Liaoweng came in to report.
Zhao Hong nodded lightly, and the instructors of the martial arts hall, led by Tian Yi, Li Tang, Chen Hui, Song Ci, Yang Hui and others, came in one after another. There were hundreds of people.
"Your Majesty, please see your Majesty!"
Wei Liaoweng and everyone saluted Zhao Hong.
"In the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, you all call me the principal. This is the rule of the Martial Arts Hall. There is no rule without rules, and I am no exception. As for outside, you can do whatever you want."
Zhao Hong looked serious and serious.
The military training hall trains officers, just like in the army, or in other words, it is the same as in the army. Only then can the officers follow the rules, practice them personally, and bring the new military style into the army.
There is a reason why Bald Jiang later liked students to call him "Principal" so much.
"Yes, Principal!"
Wei Liaoweng saluted with all the officers.
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and there will be classes the day after tomorrow. Are you all ready?"
Zhao Hong turned his eyes to the instructors of the martial arts hall in front of him
"Come back to your Majesty... Principal, everything is ready!"
Tian Yi, Li Tang, as well as the officers selected from the martial arts and the army, replied almost at the same time.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. Just teach the students how to teach in martial arts or in the school, and how to practice in daily life. The class schedule is seven days a week, with one day off a week. The schooling lasts for one year, just teach like this."
Zhao Hong's words made Chen Hui, the former martial arts judge of Wu Xueyue and now the chief instructor of Jinling Wushu Hall, blush on his face.
There are only a few dozen students in the martial arts school. They spend three days fishing, two days drying nets, and ten days a month in school, which is pretty good. Moreover, the intensity of going to school is no different from that of freeing up.
Anyone who still thinks about studying is thinking about becoming an official and taking the imperial examination.
However, everyone was excited that so many students at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall could impart knowledge.
Anyway, I can finally do something well.
"Instructor Chen is responsible for teaching classroom teaching materials, Li Tang is the chief instructor for the physical training of the team, and Tian Yi is the chief instructor for firearms. We all help each other, work together, and teach well. That is enough!"
Although the three households of Chu were able to destroy Qin, how could China be empty and empty?
It turns out that the teachers of Wu Xueyu served as classroom instructors, and Tian Yi, Li Tang and others were responsible for the training of students and of course the analysis of relevant teaching materials.
As for the additional high-level geography, history and other courses, they were taught by Wei Liaoweng and Chen Hui, as well as bachelors from the Imperial Academy. Of course, he will also make a cameo.
For example, Yang Hui teaches mathematics and Zhang Gao teaches medicine. They all have special skills and make the best use of their talents. With these elites from the imperial court shining brightly in the martial arts hall, he was not worried about quality.
For example, in the medical and nursing department, the teachers who teach are all "professors" from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Medical Bureau. They are overqualified and the teaching quality is sufficient.
Another example is the cavalry department and the navy department. The instructors are all generals with military experience or rich resumes and "experts" in martial arts. It is extremely suitable to teach them.
The essence of Jinling Martial Arts Hall is to cultivate professional officers, which is mainly a professional spirit. And this is the most important thing.
"Everyone, I leave the daily teaching at Jinling Martial Arts Hall to you!"
Zhao Hong stood up and bowed slightly.
"I obey the order!"
Everyone saluted together, all in fear.
The emperor attaches so much importance to the martial arts hall, so they can only do their best.
"Chen Hui, Tian Yi, and Li Tang, you are focusing on recruiting, and you must not make excuses. Everyone, please step aside and prepare for teaching early."
Zhao Hong said warmly, and Tian Yi and all the instructors resigned one after another.
"Your Majesty... Principal, are the queue training and physical training in the booklet useful?"
As the vice-principal of the Martial Arts Hall, Wei Liaoweng was still a little skeptical.
Things like marching, goose-stepping, running, standing at attention and taking a break, as well as 100-meter dash, 3000-meter long-distance running, single and parallel bars, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. are completely unheard of.
"Wei Liaoweng, Vice Principal Wei, these training contents have been compiled into the teaching manual. Are you questioning my ability?"
Zhao Hong withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly.
Wei Liaoweng's face suddenly turned red.
Zhao Hong turned around and couldn't help but smile when he saw Wei Liaoweng's uneasy look.
"Vice Principal Wei, you may have doubts or dissatisfaction now, but in half a year, you will understand that everything I did today was correct."
Wei Liaoweng nodded lightly and quickly said yes.
He didn't know whether it was correct, but he had learned a lesson from Zhao Hong's confidence and arrogance.
"Wei Gong, have the navy's warships arrived?"
Now that we are in the age of firearms, the naval warships used for teaching must be modified. Regarding the maintenance of artillery and the storage of ammunition on warships, one must learn and explore at the same time.
"Go back to the principal. The warship has arrived and is being refitted. In less than a month, the craftsmen will install it and it can be used for teaching!"
Wei Liaoweng's answer made Zhao Hong nodded slightly.
For the teaching at Jinling Martial Arts Hall, there is no need to rush into training warships to refit artillery. Just the queue walking and physical training will probably take at least a month. As for the naval branch drill, it will be at least a month away, so there is plenty of time to prepare.
On the contrary, it was the Naval Academy. Because the target was the Navy, he felt a little uneasy.
It is not easy to install copper skins, install artillery, and adapt to long voyages.
At the opening ceremony of the Naval Academy, Zhen Dexiu and Xuan Zhen went on his behalf. I wonder if it would break the hearts of the teachers and students of the Naval Academy?
"During the cavalry training, firearm interference tests must be done so that the horses will not be frightened on the battlefield."
It was a matter of teaching martial arts classes. It was a big matter, no matter how detailed it was. Zhao Hong warned him one by one, but he felt a little embarrassed.
The Song Dynasty was in dire need of war horses, and even more so of cavalry. Historically, it was difficult for the Southern Song Dynasty to carry out the Northern Expedition. In addition to the fact that the monarchs and scholar-bureaucrats were clinging to their own capabilities, a large part of the reason was the inherent deficiency of the lack of cavalry.
If there were cavalry groups that came and went like the wind, and the Song Dynasty had a population base of tens of millions, how could it be possible to be helpless in the north and shed tears of bitterness?
War horses and cavalry were the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty. How should we firmly grasp them?
