Chapter 330 The Problem of the Military Academy (2)

"Let's talk about how to select students first," Zhu Yuan replied when he heard Lao Zhu's question, "My ancestors, and everyone, I think it's still the early stage of the school, and we should classify it."

Old Zhu was puzzled: "Level?"

Everyone also looked over in doubt.

Zhu Yuan nodded: "For example... What I mean is that follow-up still needs to be considered, which is the general idea. The commanders of each army are at the first level, and perhaps they can also be counted as Tongzhi, deputy envoys, and officials. This group of people specializes in Open some command classes. Further down, there are general-level students from thousands of households and hundreds of households. The command class does not necessarily exist for a long time. My idea is that even if you have been a Zhang for many years, you can be promoted to the command level None of them will be ordinary people, but... they should be properly studied. Moreover, after the first batch of conductors who founded the country have completed their studies, the follow-up talents will also form a virtuous circle of life and death, and the conductor class can be cancelled."

"That's very good," Lao Zhu nodded, "It just so happens that there will be fewer wars in the next few years, so let all those commanders, commanders, deputy commanders, commanders... all come to this military university. Learn something."

Chang Yuchun said: "Master, I'm afraid we can't come together?"

"Naturally, we have to take turns."

Zhu Yuan added: "Moreover, it is not necessary to study for four years. It depends on the situation. It can be as short as three to five months, or as long as one or two years. Of course, if someone is willing to study for four years in university, I think , the ancestors should also be encouraged by everyone."

"That's right, I just want this... to be more flexible." Lao Zhu nodded, and said: "If there is someone who is willing to study for four years, and make sure to learn it well, I will not hesitate to reuse it."

Zhu Yuan glanced at the others and saw that Chang Yuchun and the others had nothing to add, so he continued: "Then there are normal ordinary classes, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general banners, and even very outstanding small banners can come in. The schooling system is Four years, still according to the credit system, as long as you can graduate successfully with excellent grades, I think you can improve when you leave school. Regarding the selection of students, on the one hand, all armies have military merit records, on the other hand , is the active recommendation of each army... On the one hand, in order to ensure as fair as possible, the operation is more complicated. For example, officer recommendation, soldier promotion and martial arts examination are combined with each other. Officer recommendation is easy to understand. Soldier promotion... ...that is to let the low-level soldiers also participate, and jointly recommend the generals and schools they recognize. Finally, the martial arts exam is the threshold. However, the specific details need to be discussed in detail later. At the same time, considering that many low-level generals and schools may be illiterate, this cannot be used as a rigid threshold, so the test for martial arts should also be flexible. If you are illiterate, um... you can conduct an interview."

Chang Yuchun listened very carefully. When he got here, he caught a word: "Pingzhang, what is 'interview'?"

"It's a way to protect the rights and interests of illiterate candidates," Zhu Yuan said. "The general will definitely know more about how to take the test than I do. When the time comes, I will prepare some questions related to the battle. This... I am Military blind, let’s just talk nonsense, for example, ask the candidates to bring 500 cavalry, and when they meet the enemy’s same 500 cavalry, then set up a certain scene and ask the other party how to deal with it, and so on.”

After talking and thinking for a while, Zhu Yuan said, "This part, you can use the sand table."

It can also be called the 'sand table' for crossing the golden finger, and Zhu Yuan also threw it out at will when he was in Mingzhou.

Of course Chang Yuchun knew it, and after a little thought, he nodded and laughed again: "Pingzhang, it's not common for 500 cavalry to fight 500 cavalry, and everyone puts the scouts far away. You can get the news within a dozen miles, not to mention that the two armies are evenly matched. If there is no strict order from the general, neither of them will rush straight into it. Investigate, if it is confirmed that it is not a bait, then hurry up and ask for help, gather two or three times as many troops, and then think about eating the other party."

"The general is knowledgeable. I've said it all, but I don't understand it at all," Zhu Yuan said with a smile, "That's the idea of ​​the interview. The general can ask the candidate about the 500 cavalry and see his reaction. If you think of it These 500 cavalrymen may be bait, which means that the candidate is good. If you can’t think of the bait question... you are not qualified. Well, so to speak, it’s too general, so I still need to quantify it. For example, if the total score of the interview is 100, this test The question counts as 10 points. Then, if the examinee can think of the bait question, it will be worth 5 points. If the candidate can think of a reasonable follow-up response, add 5 points, which is probably the case. Then, after asking various other questions, calculate the total score, according to With the data arrangement, it is clear at a glance which candidates can be selected."

Chang Yuchun felt clear and nodded frequently: "Okay, really... good."

Deng Yu and the others also showed expressions of appreciation.

Zhu Yuan looked at Lao Zhu, who was also listening carefully, and concluded: "In short, because it is the founding of the country, many things are not made into rules. When we select students, we have to be more cumbersome, and it is also to select outstanding generals as much as possible. The seeds come out."

Lao Zhu glanced at the recording officer at the side of the conference table, confirmed that the other party was taking notes seriously, nodded, and looked at Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu and the others: "I have to remember what Yuaner said. When I led the army, everything I don’t understand, it’s a little bit dependent on human lives. Yuan’er’s good words today will save our Ming Dynasty countless soldiers from dying in the future.”

Except for Zhu Yuan, everyone else at the scene took orders respectfully.

Old Zhu turned around again: "Let's talk about...professionalism."

"Ancestor, this matter...can't be written according to the script," Zhu Yuan said: "Nanjing University and National University both have more than ten majors. The reason why there are so many is because we need them. None of them are superfluous, and even some of them have the same needs. I haven't had time to add my majors yet."

Lao Zhu thought for a while, and then laughed: "Well... from your idea of ​​always emphasizing 'business-oriented'...well, that is...we set up whatever majors we need, and this military university is the same , but right?"

"The ancestors were wise."

"Don't flatter your horse, tell me quickly?"

"Ancestor, I still want to emphasize that I am military blind, so I just provide ideas, and we will discuss it in detail later, don't copy it," Zhu Yuan declared again before continuing, saying: "About majors, in fact, Jinling University By the way, I originally hoped to set it up as a higher-level college, such as mathematics. In fact, it should be a mathematics college, but because it is in the early days of the school, for the sake of simplification, it is not like this. However, for the military university, I think it can be so Do it. Divide according to the service first, Cavalry Academy, Infantry Academy, Naval Academy... Oh, if the ancestors think it is necessary, you can also add an Air Force Academy."

When Lao Zhu heard the last word, he immediately thought of the hot air balloon that made such a great contribution during the Battle of Dadu.

air force……

It's apt.

However, let’s talk about this, today’s preliminary discussion, Lao Zhu nodded his head slightly, but he remembered: “You said that you want to bring the Ming army into the era of hot weapons, but there is one missing... something like an academy?”

"This is another classification standard. In the future, whether it is cavalry, infantry or air force, it will definitely transform into the era of thermal weapons," Zhu Yuan said, "About this, we need to set up...well, it can be a military engineering academy. .”

Gee.

Here comes the inspiration.

"Rebirth of Ming Dynasty: Opening the Road to the Military Industry Oligarch".

Military industry and business wars are still oligarchs, which is much better than Zhu Yuan's day-to-day reasoning.

Take it and take it!

conference room.

It's easy for everyone to understand the word 'military industry', which sounds more pleasing to the ear than 'weapons' and 'munitions'.Moreover, if you think about it more deeply, you can know without Zhu Yuan's elaboration that this should be an academy that researches and manufactures various new weapons.

"This Military Engineering Academy should also be written down," Old Zhu reminded others, and then signaled to the Commander of the Jinyiwei, who hadn't spoken much since the meeting started, Chen Credit: "Yuaner, this Jinyiwei...your intelligence major... Tell me, what kind of college should we set up?"

Zhu Yuan glanced at Chen Credit, who had an ordinary appearance and was very suitable for being a spy, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to a special school."

This time it was Chang Yuchun who took the call: "Special Academy?"

Zhu Yuandao: "In the army, in addition to the common infantry and cavalry, I think there should also be some units that are engaged in special tasks, such as spying on the enemy, such as beheading and assassinating, such as... Heh, Tu Xiao and the others rushed out before the battle. Those things that went to the north. In short, these people... Each of these people should be the best of the best in the army, so they can be called special forces. Hmm... At this stage, the Air Force Academy is not necessary, but the army specializes in Soldiers who operate hot air balloons can also be classified as special forces. In summary, the colleges that train a relatively small number of special soldiers who are all very important are of course special colleges, and in special colleges, intelligence majors must be one of them. An important one."

After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, other people were still thinking about it, but Deng Yu said: "This kind of college, even in this military university... I just thought, it should be more confidential."

"Yes, compared with other universities, military universities must have a considerable level of secrecy," Zhu Yuan said, "and above this level of secrecy, special colleges have even higher levels of secrecy. If you are a secret spy, then even if you are a classmate, you should not know too much about each other, I am more inclined to students majoring in intelligence after enrolling in the future...well, use pseudonyms as much as possible to cover up your identity."

Lao Zhu didn't quite agree this time: "Yuan'er, isn't this too much?"

Although he had hoped to use secret spies for a long time, Lao Zhu felt that there was no need to be so cautious among himself.If you look too far ahead and backward, you may not even be able to cultivate good students.

"It's just a preliminary idea." Zhu Yuan thought for a while, remembered something, and said with a smile: "Or, another method is also possible, that is...after the student enters school, he doesn't even know that he is an intelligence major. Students, the School of Information carefully selects the target, through four years of continuous investigation, and continuous targeted training, wait for the other party to graduate, and then send out solicitations, and this matter can not be forced, if you want, you can carry out a certain period of time Intensive training, if you don't want to, then put it in the army and go the original way."

Old Zhu pondered for a while and said, "This is... doable."

Chang Yuchun also came to inspiration: "If so, maybe we can also recruit suitable secret agents from other universities?"

"correct."

Zhu Yuan nodded.

It reminds me of a secret spy, who studied the law, has been ups and downs for many years, and once he rose up, he became a great emperor.

Lao Zhu was also very inspired: "It's a better idea to choose from other universities."

However, Deng Yu didn't quite agree: "My lord, students from other universities might not be too willing to join the army, right?"

At present, even if the spirit of bravery in founding the country is in full swing, joining the army is not a good way out.

For example, the issue of fugitive pawns has always been a headache for Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan said: "Concepts need to be changed slowly, and treatment is a long-term issue."

I remembered a secret spy again.

From the very beginning, the other party pursued becoming a secret spy as a lofty goal.

Old Zhu understood Zhu Yuan's thinking as soon as he heard it.

It is still necessary to improve the treatment and status of soldiers, which is related, Zhu Yuan has talked to him before.

As the discussions continued, the framework of Jinling Military University was basically finalized. Initially, there would be five colleges, the Cavalry Academy, the Infantry Academy, the Naval Academy, the Military Academy, and the Special Academy.

And then there's the last question.

After everything is in order, how to start teaching?
In this regard, Zhu Yuan didn't have to think too much, and said directly: "This... I still refer to the model of Jinling University, and first determine some basic courses, such as the military scriptures, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", I think, in the future, as long as you are a general, Everyone should be able to recite the entire text fluently."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his expression changed, he thought about it and gave up.

Throughout the dynasties, there were strict restrictions on the art of war.

However, if I think about the new era described by my precious 23rd grandson, guns, cannons, airplanes, ships... and so on, then the little "Sun Tzu's Art of War" will not matter.

The future war, when Tu Xiao was explaining the drawing here that day, his 23rd generation grandson mentioned it, it will be very complicated, so complicated that most people can't understand it.

Zhu Yuan noticed that Lao Zhu hesitated to speak. After waiting for a while, seeing that his ancestor did not speak, he continued: "Then, it is the initial...research-based learning. Everyone is learning while combining military classics and real cases. Write a variety of teaching materials."

When Deng Yu heard this, he said: "In this case, we should recruit some Confucian scholars to serve as writing staff."

Deng Yu's words were a reminder, and Zhu Yuan nodded: "It can't just be a staff member, you can directly recruit a group of students to enter the military university... As for the question of whether you are willing or not, the treatment will be better, and the conditions will be looser. Yes. Heh, just like Zheng Xun."

Deng Yu nodded with a smile.

Old Zhu didn't forget about a certain young man: "Then Zheng Xun...that military strategy is not bad...after being a martyr who died for the country, you should pay more attention to it."

Even Chang Yuchun had already met Zheng Xun, who was participating in the preparation of the Military University, and he had a very good impression, so he naturally agreed to it together.

After Lao Zhu finished explaining, he signaled to his precious 23rd generation grandson: "Yuaner, you continue."

Zhu Yuan continued: "While compiling various standard textbooks, we also need to study the real battles of the past dynasties. This is also the most necessary learning direction in my opinion. Not to mention anything else, it is just a series of battles before and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If they are all made, it is enough for students to study for many years.

This time, Lao Zhu, Chang Yuchun, and Deng Yu all nodded together with great feeling.

Can't help but think of these years.

When they were in Chuzhou, everyone was reckless.

Moved to Hexian County and established itself.

Subdue the Chaohu navy and cross the river in Taiping.

Capture Jiqing.

The tug-of-war with Zhang Shicheng.

Chen Youliang's aggressive approach to the Battle of Longwan.

Anfeng, the northern aid in the disagreement.

Hongdu, Hongdu!
Battle of Poyang Lake.

Pingjiang Lock City.

Northern Expedition...

It all seemed like it just happened yesterday.However, after regaining consciousness, everyone is sitting here. The imperial city of Jinling also created a country called Daming.

It's like an eternity!
Of course, you must write down all the things that happened in the past, and write them down carefully.

The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he pointed to his precious 23rd grandson below and said: "Yuaner, you should worry about those wars yourself, one by one, and compile them for me. If there is anything you don't understand, Ask me, as well as Yuchun and the others, they are all fine, you must do it well."

Zhu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "If the ancestors wanted it, they could actually write a war history, which specifically records the various wars before and after the founding of our dynasty, as well as the heroes and heroes in between. It is similar to a history book, rather than relatively too big. Military textbooks that are too academic. Well, if this book is completed, it should also be a compulsory course for military universities, not only to let the younger generations not forget the difficulties of founding the country, but also to inspire them to carry on the past and forge ahead."

Old Zhu agreed very much: "It should be so, it should be so."

Opposite Chang Yuchun said: "Come and ask me when the time comes, I also have a lot to say."

Zhu Yuan nodded.

know.

You are legendary. I had a dream when I was sleeping on the side of the road. I dreamed that I was going to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. After waking up, I met Lao Zhu.

Natou bows.

this matter……

Ok.

Zhu Yuan felt like it was made up, but in this world, there are really too many things that cannot be explained clearly.In the past, people who walked higher were more superstitious. This cannot be said to be a coincidence.

Therefore, it should not be too arbitrary.

So I said a few more words, and the matter of how the Jinling Military University will unfold is basically finalized.

Everyone chatted about various details again, expressing their opinions, and before we knew it, it was noon.Once again, Lao Zhu stayed to have lunch together, but this time not only the grandparents and grandchildren, but also Chang Yuchun and Deng Yu, they had a great time chatting while eating.
