Early the next morning, Wang Xiaolie left Shou'an and returned to Luoyang. Liu Ziyu proposed that he stay at the military academy for a few more days to understand the situation here.
I spent a day in the military academy during the day. In the afternoon, Liu Ziyu found Liu Shaoxian and wanted a set of teaching materials from the military academy.
Liu Shaoxian said: "Consultant, the military school teaching materials are confidential. Even the students cannot take them out and can only study them in the school. If you want to read them, you can borrow a set from the library. Just return them after reading them. "
Liu Ziyu said: "Everyone on campus has a copy, so what's the use of keeping the textbooks secret?"
Liu Shaoxian said: "This is a system and must be followed."
Liu Ziyu had no choice but to ask Liu Shao to write a note first and borrow a set from the library.
After dinner, Liu Ziyu returned to his residence and took out the textbooks to read. It's a thick stack, I'm afraid there aren't twenty or thirty books. There are words and pictures inside, and the printing is very beautiful, which is far beyond the comparison of books on the market.
Picking up a book, Liu Ziyu looked at the title, which was "Military Topography". Opening the book and reading it casually, Liu Ziyu couldn't help but be surprised. It introduces all kinds of terrain used in war, followed by how to attack and defend, and also combines a large number of war examples. Although it still looks a bit crude, the important points are all mentioned.
Liu Ziyu has lived in a military camp with his father since he was a child, and is particularly familiar with the military. But after reading this book, I still feel that there are a lot of things that I have overlooked.
Putting down the book, Liu Ziyu picked up the rest of the books and read them again. From "Military Formation Explanation" to "Battle Studies" and "Tactics", to spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, crossbowmen, various types of arms, to infantry and cavalry tactics, almost everything is available. If you read all these books, you will almost surpass all the famous generals in this world. Officers who have studied these contents will be more than enough to be junior officers when they go out. They have already learned all the knowledge they need to know.
Putting down the book, Liu Ziyu sat at the table in a daze.
In fact, these teaching materials in the military academy were accumulated over several years by Wang Xiaolie, who gathered a large number of senior generals and veterans of the Forbidden Army, as well as some theoretical talents. After a lot of practice, the ideas in the book were verified and compiled into teaching materials bit by bit. To be honest, these textbooks are very simple and only lay out a general framework. In the future, through actual combat, drills, and theoretical progress, we will improve bit by bit.
The most important thing is not how advanced these teaching materials are, nor how powerful the generals taught by military schools are, but standardization.
The recruit camp is not just for training new recruits, the most important thing is to train new recruits in a standardized manner. Military schools do not simply teach officers. The most important thing is to teach officers in a standardized way. Only with such recruits paired with such officers can they complete a qualitative change and become a new army.
What is China's biggest advantage? The biggest advantage is that China is a big country, not only with a vast land and abundant resources, but also with almost unlimited manpower. As long as the army can be trained in a standardized manner and soldiers are constantly replenished during the war, attacking a small country will be a waste of time.
Wang Xiaolie did not think that the soldiers he trained were elite soldiers. Elite soldiers must be trained in actual combat, not drilled. Therefore, the use of troops has always been cautious to avoid angering the Jin Kingdom and avoiding premature large-scale wars. Never thought that in the battle of Luoyang, he would face the Jin Army head-on, but the Jin Army could not fight, so his thoughts changed accordingly. With only 100,000 troops, the Jin Army was in a hurry. What would happen if there were 200,000 or even 300,000 troops?
Liu Ziyu was old in the military. He flipped through the military school textbooks and knew what he saw.
Military school education cannot teach famous generals, there is no doubt about this. But military academies can teach a large number of qualified officers, and some of these officers will definitely grow up and become famous generals in actual combat. The most important thing is that a large number of officers can be trained in batches.
Qualified officers coupled with qualified soldiers mean that the army can be rapidly expanded.
Which general doesn't want to expand his army? Everyone wants to go crazy. They just have no choice. When Wang Xiaolie found a way, no one could compare to him. If you want to expand the army, you don't just build a new barracks, you just build a military academy. The new barracks and military schools built must meet the requirements. Wang Xiaolie has done it, and what will happen next is self-evident.
Standing up and opening the window, Liu Ziyu looked at the moon rising in the sky.
The war lasted for several years, and many famous generals appeared in the Song army. But to be honest, no one has found a way to deal with the Jin Army. Most generals would feel great if they could block the Jin army's attack. As for restoring the Central Plains, which general would dare to think so now?
Wang Xiaolie, who took control of Luoyang, is different from others. What will he do next?
Fushui Town, located on the East-West Post Road, was once very prosperous. Nowadays, the market is very depressed, and there are almost no pedestrians on the road.
Luo Erlang, carrying his baggage, walked across the street with several companions. Looking at the closed shops on the street, I sighed. He said: "Aunt Xing has been away for more than two years, and I don't know where he is. When the world is at peace, I don't know if he will be able to come back."
After hearing this, Shi Xiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you thinking about their little lady? That little lady is really smart! Erlang, this time we are going to serve as soldiers, and we will come back with some meritorious service in the army. As long as Xing's father and his family come back, that little lady will My wife will definitely marry you!"
Luo Erlang blushed and hesitated a few words.
After leaving the town, there was a melon field on the roadside. This is the season when melons are ripe, and the fragrance of melons is everywhere.
When Shi Xiang looked up, he saw a figure lying in the melon field. He raised his voice and said: "You hozen, you are stealing melons here again! Dad Liu caught him, let's see if he breaks your legs! You stole all the melons before they were ripe!"
The figure stood up from the melon field and shouted to Shi Xiang: "You have a long tongue! Why are you shouting! I'm thirsty, come and pick a melon to eat, what's the big deal!"
As he spoke, he jumped out of the melon patch. When we got to the road, we saw several people being bundled up. He asked strangely: "Are you going on a long trip with Bao Yu on your back? What are you doing together?"
Shi Xiang said: "I told you a few days ago that we are going to Tongguan to join the army! I heard that there is a recruiting place in Tongguan and many people are going there!"
Luo Erlang said: "Liu Lang, you have no relatives in the town, so why not come with us? Kill the enemy in the battle and find a wife!"
Hu Liulang looked at a few people. Said: "Do you have money? If you don't have money, what will you eat on the road?"
Shi Xiang said: "You don't know that Wang Taiwei's army killed tens of thousands of Jin troops in Shaanzhou a few days ago, and everyone praised his achievements. Now on the way to Tongguan, as long as you say you are going to join the army, you will be in vain. Eat and drink for free!”
Hu Liulang said: "Is there such a good thing? I don't believe it!"
Luo Erlang said: "Everyone says this, how can it be false? You have no home, come with us."
Hu Liulang thought for a while and said: "That's right. If you join the army, you will always be in need of food, and you can also go into battle to kill gold thieves! - Wait a minute, I just picked two melons, they are very sweet It's juicy and hidden in the melon field. I'll go get it and go with you!"
Seeing Hu Liulang jumping into the melon field, several people laughed together.
When Jin Bing came two years ago, Hu Liulang's family was completely killed, leaving only one person. In the past two years, he has been wandering in Fushui Town, fed by his employer and fed by his family until he was seventeen years old. There was no business in the town, so he wandered around all day long to avoid sneaking around. However, although there are small evils, Hu Liulang never does any big evils. The people in the town took pity on him and allowed him to act like this.
