Li Ke had teaching materials for these courses in his warehouse. They were just reprinting them. Of course, not all the contents were suitable, so Li Ke changed some of the contents.
Then print it out.
Calling the guards outside, Li Ke asked people to distribute textbooks to them. Everyone was given more than a dozen books.
After the books were distributed, Li Ke stood on the podium. To be honest, this classroom is no different from the middle school classrooms in later generations around 2000.
Glass windows, heaters under the windows, podiums, desks, blackboards, and tables and chairs underneath.
It's nothing more than the bench Li Ke sat on when he was in junior high school, but now it has become a chair.
The class, with a total of seventy-seven students, was already full.
Li Ke, who was standing on the podium, didn't know what to do, and suddenly felt an inexplicable bad taste. "Come on, everyone, are there any students behind who can't see the writing on the blackboard?" Li Ke pointed at the blackboard behind him and asked.
"Um... no." Everyone looked at each other. These people who came this year are not very old. In this era, the possibility of myopia is not high among young people, let alone those who want to be a general if they can't see clearly. It is even more impossible for the captain.
So there is nothing wrong with everyone’s eyes.
"Come on, let's arrange the seats according to height." Li Ke smiled and said.
Naturally, everyone had no objections, although these captains had strong objections. In their opinion, it was okay to let these generals sit in the front row. After all... they actually didn't want to sit with these generals.
But it is His Highness above. If Your Highness says to allocate seats, then allocate seats.
Li Ke directed everyone to quickly assign seats according to their height. Of course, these generals still tried to sit together as much as possible.
After they reassigned the seats, Li Kecai smiled and said, "I won't give any specific lectures today. To be honest, I'm actually not good at these courses today."
Of course, after the military academy was successfully established, his political commissar insisted that he was suitable to teach military political science, but Li Ke felt that he was not suitable.
"However, there are some courses because I haven't found a suitable teacher, so for the time being, I can teach them. Although I have never led troops to fight, it is more about talking on paper."
"We communicate more with each other." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Before the class starts, let me ask you a question. What do you think is the biggest factor affecting the combat effectiveness of an army under the current situation?" Li Ke looked at them and asked, "Raise your hands if you have any ideas."
The people below hesitated for a moment, and soon Niu Jinda raised his hand.
"Classmate Niu Jinda, tell me." Li Ke pointed at him.
"Your Highness, I think it's weapons and equipment. A full set of armor has a great impact on combat effectiveness." Niu Jinda said immediately.
Li Daliang next to him also raised his hand.
"Li Daliang."
"Your Highness, I think it's morale." Li Daliang gave another answer.
"This is a school. Just call me teacher. No need to call me your highness or your minister." Li Ke said with a smile. Who doesn't want to be the teacher of a group of generals?
"Xue Wanjun." Li Ke called his name again.
"I think it's the commander's tactical level." Obviously they all gave different answers.
Li Ke smiled, and then said: "Actually, to a certain extent, I think what Li Daliang said is right."
"I think morale is the biggest factor that affects the combat effectiveness of an army. Do you think an army that can fight to the last man without retreating or being defeated is strong?" Li Ke asked with a smile.
"Of course! But such an army doesn't exist." Xue Wanjun said hesitantly.
"No, it exists, and such an army can even be cultivated in an organized manner. That is faith!" Li Ke said in a serious tone, "This kind of faith is not a religious faith, but a faith in the country and the nation. Belief!"
"Let me give you the simplest example. Let's use the current Chang'an Sixteenth Guards and the Chang'an Sixteenth Guards five years ago to fight. With the same weapons and armor, who do you think will win?" Li Ke looked at them and asked.
"Now." This time almost everyone gave the answer in unison.
They are all considered generals, and of course they can see how big the gap is between the current Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an and the former Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an. This is an essential change! They are both well-trained and fight bloody battles, but one fights to the death for so-called loyalty and to prevent his family from being implicated, while the other fights to the death for his family and everything he wants to protect.
Even if these two armies are not defeated in the end, their mental states can still cause a huge gap in combat effectiveness.
Subjective initiative can explode into unimaginable power in some aspects.
They are both desperate, one is to survive, the other is to survive to win the war, the difference is huge.
"So, this is faith. What is the faith of the army? What kind of army can have such power?" Li Ke said as he picked up the chalk from the table and wrote a few big words on the blackboard: People's Army .
"Only the army that belongs to the people has such power, unrivaled power." Li Ke turned around and looked at them and said.
Everyone below is thoughtful. These people are 100% not from ordinary people, and the worst ones are from poor families. For example, Xue Rengui.
These people from poor backgrounds understand this even more.
For example, Xue Rengui's life is actually no different from that of ordinary people. The only difference is that because of his poor family, he was able to marry a well-educated wife who came from a family that had a good relationship with his family.
There are also books passed down from his family that allow him to read and write.
As for other living conditions, they are no different from those of ordinary people. They are also very poor.
His Highness's mention of the People's Army made Xue Rengui think a lot. Before the restructuring of the Tang Dynasty's army, the soldiers he saw who joined the army and returned would not discuss matters in the army at all, although they would occasionally talk about it.
But more of the discussion was about how much crop planting had been delayed by the training of the soldiers, whether the mother-in-law and children at home could complete the land cultivation on time, and whether this year's food would be enough to eat if they could not finish planting.
After the reorganization of the Tang Dynasty's army, although these soldiers had not yet returned to the village, he heard from these people who had not yet become soldiers that they wanted to send their children to join the army, to protect their families and the country, and to protect today's people. Tang.
Your Highness and Your Majesty have allowed them to live a good life today. They have no other ability but to bravely kill enemies for the Tang Dynasty and other remarks.
