The two were chatting when a soldier ran over to the door.
"Report! Sun Chuanfang, the third squadron of the infantry section of the training camp, is here to report!"
When Li Yu heard the name, he quickly turned his head and saw that the person who came was actually Sun Chuanfang, the great direct warlord of later generations!
Li Yu once again lamented that the Beiyang Standing Army was really terrible, with a bunch of seedlings and big warlords nesting together.
Li Chun thought it was nothing. After all, he was a contemporary. He had not even heard of who "Sun Chuanfang" was until now.
"Who asked you to come?" Li Chun asked directly.
"This is General Office Feng of the training camp." Sun Chuanfang said.
"General Manager Feng?"
Feng Guozhang also serves as the general office of the training camp.
Sun Chuanfang handed over Feng Guozhang's personal letter:
"Sun Chuanfang, a native of Shandong, who is talented and intelligent and knows how to work hard. He can pass the military courses in one reading. He ranks among the best in the training camp in both subject and method examinations. He is specially allowed to enter the Army Crash Course without taking the exam."
Feng Guozhang had already spoken, so Li Chun naturally had no objection, "Which subject do you want to enroll in?"
Sun Chuanfang said: "Students are willing to enter the surveying and mapping department."
Li Chun nodded: "The Surveying and Mapping Department has many subjects and the assessment is stricter."
"Students know."
"That's good. Go to the school tomorrow. Their classes have already started. Make up as soon as possible."
After Sun Chuanfang left, Li Chun said to Li Yu: "By the way, if you can, sir, you can talk a little bit about some mathematics related to surveying and mapping tomorrow."
Li Yuzhen didn't know what to talk about: "Is there any teaching outline or any handouts?"
Li Chundao: "Yes, of course there is, but... well, sir, you better see for yourself."
Li Chun took a stack of books from the cupboard and placed them in front of Li Yu. Li Yu understood immediately: No wonder those German teachers couldn't attend class after they left.
The textbooks in front of me are all in German!
It was really copied from the German military academy.
It is understandable if you think about it. The Beiyang Army Crash Course was established not long ago and there was no time to compile professional military teaching materials. It could only use ready-made materials from Germany.
Li Chun asked tentatively: "Can you understand German, sir?"
Li Yu said: "It's better to understand if you can understand..."
Li Chunxi said: "That's it! Time is tight now, and all kinds of drills are fully scheduled every day. Although a few generals have attended the school, they either didn't understand it or they couldn't speak clearly, so they can only rely on the teacher."
At this point, Li Yu had to agree even if he didn't agree.
"Then let me try..."
It was not too early today. It was already three o'clock after dinner in the afternoon. Li Yu and Li Chun continued chatting for a while and then arranged accommodation.
Li Yu looked through the surveying and mapping textbook in the room. It was not difficult. He could understand the basic surveying and mapping. It mainly involved some calculations such as error analysis and square difference formula, similar to in applied mathematics subjects.
Later, it will also involve military surveying, data monitoring, drawing military engineering design drawings, construction drawing principles, etc.
It feels a bit like his undergraduate mechanical design major, so I'll see if I can get started soon.
Surveying and mapping at this time was still very application-oriented compared to later generations. After all, the technical means are limited, and it is impossible to do aerial surveying, geodesy, photogrammetry, geodetic gravity or even ocean surveying and mapping in later generations.
If it were modern surveying and mapping in the 21st century, Li Yuzhen would not be able to handle it.
He had a general idea in his mind, and he wasn't too nervous about tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Li Yu heard the roll call started outside. There is a playground in the school, so we naturally have to use it in the morning.
Today, two teams of recruits recruited from Cangzhou came. They are all young people in their early twenties, many of them children from farmers.
A veteran came over as an instructor and walked between the two groups of recruits, smiling all the time. The recruits saw that he was smiling and started laughing too.
Unexpectedly, the instructor immediately put away his smile and said sternly: "What kind of virtue! Didn't you stand in good standing? Haven't you ever lined up? You are really worthless!"
The recruits quickly stood up and the instructor continued to lecture loudly: "Okay! Let me tell you, you will have to practice as a whole team today!"
One recruit reached out to wipe his nose, but the instructor whipped him on the arm, "Don't move when I'm talking!"
Although the recruit was in pain, he did not dare to move.
The instructor continued: "For new recruits, training is not just about the whole team, but also training on everything. I want to train you well!"
"You seem to have misunderstood something," the instructor continued, moving back and forth between the two groups of soldiers, looking at their expressions. "I think you have misunderstood something? I have to correct this!"
The instructor stopped in the middle: "First of all, forget everything you have done in the past! Forget it all! The same goes for your family background, forget it all! Your life experience will be limited to soldiers from now on! I am here to train you Yes, those who resist will be served by military law! Do you hear me clearly? If you hear me clearly, stand at attention!"
The two teams of recruits immediately stood at attention.
This set of recruit training was naturally learned from Germany, but there is something new in the Beiyang Army:
The instructor continued loudly: "Every month, the rations will be paid on time. You must remember that this is Master Yuan's grace. You must recite to me silently three times every morning: Master Yuan is our food and clothing parent. I have to work hard for Mr. Yuan! Shout out!"
The two teams of recruits immediately shouted in unison: "Master Yuan is our food and clothing parent, we must work hard for Master Yuan! Master Yuan is our food and clothing parent, we must work hard for Master Yuan!"
The instructor nodded: "Very good! Mr. Yuan has the throne of immortality in the barracks. From now on, we must bow our heads and salute him every day! From now on, we are all Beiyang Paoze, and no one can bully us anymore."
The new recruits were all from poor families. They only came for four to five taels of silver a month, and they could do whatever they were told. Yuan Shikai used this to instill the idea of loyalty, and the loyal one was naturally Yuan Shikai, so as to cultivate the mentality of the soldiers that "they only know that there is Yuan Gongbao, but they don't know that there is the Qing Dynasty."
Even though the Qing Dynasty deprived him of his military power a few years later, the new generals could not command the six towns of Beiyang at all, so they had to call Yuan Shikai back.
The instructor took out a booklet from his arms and said, "Now, let's start the roll call. Ahem, Lin Shanming."
"arrive!"
"Wu San...Wu Sangou?"
"arrive!"
The instructor asked: "Why did you choose such a name?"
"I am the third eldest child and I like to raise dogs, so that's what everyone calls me."
This situation is not uncommon, and the instructor seemed not to be surprised: "I understand. Continue to roll call, dear, dear daddy?"
Many people are almost living in Bengbu.
"Instructor, my name is Xin Fu!"
The instructor looked a little embarrassed and said, "I know, I can't even write the names of those people!"
The instructor continued to roll call: "Cui Shanjin!"
"Instructor, my name is Cui Yin."
"Cui Yin? Does this word read Yin?"
"Yes, sir!"
The instructor scolded: "You don't have any bad culture, and you still imitate other wealthy people's names and use uncommon words! You might as well be called Cui Ergou!"
"Okay instructor! You can call me Cui Ergou from now on!"
He came with Wu Sangou, and it felt like he was called Ergou before Sangou.
"That's pretty much it."
…
Li Yu didn't know what to say, but he was woken up early in the morning and went to the cafeteria to eat. After returning to Li Chun's office, he took him to the Beiyang Army Crash Course.
On the way, we passed a junior school, where the soldiers were attending class. Considering their low level of education and limited literacy, Yuan Shikai personally wrote the "Song to Encourage Soldiers". They are now memorizing this song:
"You should be filial to your son, and loyal to your ministers.
The imperial court borrowed national debt and paid huge sums of money to support its troops.
One hundred taels of food and clothing a year, the same as the official salary of a sixth-grade official.
If you continue to fail to contribute to the country, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will not tolerate it.
Since ancient times, there have been many generals and ministers serving in the army. Do not look down upon yourself as a soldier.
First, we must study hard and practice hard, and learn the skills so that we can make meritorious deeds.
…
Qi quit gambling and eating heavy cigarettes. If the officer finds out, he will be severely punished.
It would be a great honor to stay safe and keep your money to support your family.
…”
Li Yu and Li Chun came to the Beiyang Army Crash Course. There were already several students in the Surveying and Mapping Science Hall. There were not many students in this level of school. They were all educated or capable. After all, they would become officers after graduation.
For example, if it was a sergeant school just now, this is a military school that trains officers.
Beiyang Military High School really values education. There are schools for all levels from top to bottom.
Of course, this is also Yuan Shikai's method, and it is still a method that is beneficial to both public and private interests.
I have to say that Yuan Shikai does have a few brushes.
Li Chun and Li Yu came to the surveying and mapping classroom. Li Chun walked up to the podium and said seriously: "Today's surveying and mapping course will be temporarily taught by a temporary teacher, Mr. Li Yu. He has been sent to Britain, France and other countries, and has been recognized by the President of the Royal Society. Highly praised, he is an excellent scientific scholar. All students must listen to his lectures carefully and don't mess around!"
Li Yu saw Sun Chuanfang sitting in the classroom. Hearing this, he and the other students all looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu quickly stood up straight and graceful. He had participated in many military trainings since he was a child, and he must not be timid in front of these great warlords of later generations.
Li Chun said to the person sitting at the front: "Wu Peifu, you are the monitor, and you must have good classroom discipline. If someone does not listen to the class well and offends the teacher, you also know what to do."
Li Yu was stunned, I'll go! Why is there not only Sun Chuanfang, but also Wu Peifu!
What kind of tiger and wolf class is this?
The ultimate class! ?
Thinking about it, I will have to go to the Capital University to report for a diploma in a while, and I have already given lectures to a bunch of future great warlords in the Beiyang Army Crash Course in advance. What a weird resume!
There really is no one left!
