In a few months, the first batch of students at the Joint Command College have undergone tremendous changes. In other words, many of them actually had a vague concept of leading troops in war.
And now, through this study, they have completely transformed this vague concept into a clear and systematic knowledge. The difference between the two is very big.
They started studying from the end of February on the Gregorian calendar in the 23rd year of the Tang Dynasty to the end of May and beginning of June. They finally completed their first period of study.
After everyone completed the examination at the Joint Command Academy, they began to travel to various parts of Datang. They all had some special tasks this time, mainly to test their learning results this time.
Some of the more special people, such as Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanjia, have also made arrangements.
Although they are princes, they have all joined the current army of the Tang Dynasty as ordinary captains. Their names have temporarily removed the middle character, and are called Li Jing and Li Jia.
Li Yuanjing was already a general, but this time he was demoted one level, while Li Jia started directly as a captain.
As a captain, Li Yuanjia was assigned a regiment of soldiers, about 1,100 people. Their station was located near a township in the Qinling Mountains southwest of Chang'an.
Firstly, they were responsible for conducting various mountain trainings, secondly, they were surveying the roads in the mountains, and thirdly, they were investigating what Li Yuanjing had learned.
In other words, what Li Ke mentioned, the people's army is integrated into the marrow of these troops.
"One, two, three, four!" Li Yuanjia led two battalions of soldiers on a five-kilometer physical cross-country. Their cross-country path is the current Huilong Township, named because the river in the canyon resembles a hovering dragon.
Huilong Township currently has a small population. There are only about 3,000 people in this township, which is not large. The total population of Huilong Township is about 30,000.
The remaining people are distributed in other villages, and these villages occupy almost all the small parts of the plains suitable for farming in the valleys of the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, the area under the jurisdiction of Huilong Township is somewhat large, and many of the surrounding mountains belong to Huilong Township.
When Li Yuanjia first came here, he did feel uncomfortable in various ways. It was not that Li Yuanjia looked down upon these soldiers, but that he was asked to put aside his identity and completely integrate with these people, especially to help these soldiers sincerely. The common people are in great conflict with the education he has received since birth.
As for becoming a people's army, Li Yuanjia was at a loss to be honest at first.
He could understand the conflict between the military and civilians, but he couldn't imagine how to achieve this.
But now that he has been stationed near Huilong Township for more than half a month, Li Yuanjia has gradually adapted, or he has probably realized what Saburo meant by the people's army.
For the people of Huilong Township, they initially had a slightly distant attitude towards these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It was not that they were afraid, but that they did not want to conflict with the soldiers.
What if you accidentally offend them? Although our Tang Dynasty's army was promoted by the village chief and the security army, such a thing would not happen.
But for ordinary people, it is certain that they observe from a certain distance.
It's just that the other party quickly completely and gradually changed their attitude. It's very simple. After these soldiers entered Huilong Township, they did not do anything to disturb the people for a long time.
Not only do they not disturb the people, but they often help these people do things they need help with after training, such as repairing their houses, repairing the roads back to Longxiang, etc.
With the continuous execution of these actions, these soldiers gradually gained recognition from the people of Huilong Township. For example, if they lost their cattle or sheep, or if someone got lost in the mountains and asked for help from the troops, they would always send people to help.
But after the other party helped, the other party did not ask for any of the food, eggs, prey and other things they sent to the door. No matter what they said, the other party just said that this is their discipline and the discipline of the Tang army.
But when they really couldn't resist, there would always be a commander in the army, whom these soldiers called political commissars, who would come out and explain to them with a smile that they were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all from the common people. Although they My home is not here.
But the people in their family are exactly the same as the people in Huilong Township. If they just help with this little favor and get things, wouldn't they let their family members poke their backs when they return home?
Besides, as an army of the Tang Dynasty, it is our duty to protect the people and protect their lives and property. This is something they strive for.
Under the warm explanation of the political commissar with a smile, they could only take back their belongings or accept the money given by the army.
In just one month, the people here began to compete with the troops stationed here. Many people secretly smuggled some hunted prey or things they made themselves to the door of the military camp. , and then leave quietly.
And they were well hidden, but they were always discovered by these soldiers, and then they secretly sent some money back to them in the same way.
In such an atmosphere, the relationship between the two gradually began to become more harmonious. When they met the soldiers in training, the people of Huilong Township no longer dodge, but watched generously.
People who were also in danger or in need of help began to take the initiative to turn to the military for help.
Before it was time to rest, the troops stationed here began to take the initiative to help the surrounding people do what they could.
In such an atmosphere, Li Yuanjia's experience changed day by day, because he could feel that the smiles on the faces of the people around him were becoming more and more heartfelt.
And if they get tired from training, the people around them will always bring them boiled water.
This is a very strange feeling. Li Yuanjia has never felt it before, or it is the first time he has felt what it means to be a people's soldier, because these people look at them as if they are their own children.
They really treat them as their own family members. Although the things they can bring out are few and very simple, they are the only things they have.
This kind of emotion was something Li Yuanjia had never felt before. He had a deeper understanding of what Sanlang told them about how an army with faith was formed.
The Tang army is becoming stronger day by day!
