Chapter 205

The preparation and training of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty was actually a transformation of the army in the era of cold weapons to hot weapons. During the transformation process of cold and hot weapons, there was a higher demand for officers' cultural knowledge and professional skills.Under such circumstances, lecture halls have been set up in various places to train officers needed by the new army.

Chen Ying imagined that if the army first trains a group of civil and military officers in the form of martial arts lectures, and then retires due to disabilities or excessive age and places them in the local area, it will be able to meet the needs of local governance.

"Yes, let's build the lecture hall first!" The more Chen Ying thinks about it, the more delighted he is. As long as the lecture hall is established, not only can a large number of talents with both military and political skills be gradually cultivated, but also a group of key members with Chen Ying as the soul can be established. Form a tight network of relationships that are both prosperous and all that hurt.

And in this era, the relationship between teachers and students is not like that of later generations.In this era, those who are as close as teachers and students are as close as teachers and students are, and teachers are as strict as fathers. Disobedience to teachers is also a crime of unfilial piety.It can be said that if you betray your teacher, your character will be greatly discounted.In this day and age, there is actually no market for killing relatives.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying asked Xu Jingzong to come and discuss this matter.

Ever since the incident of Xu Erniang happened.Xu Jingzong avoided Chen Ying, for fear that Chen Ying would get mad at him.When the personal guards found Xu Jingzong and told him that Chen Ying was looking for him, Xu Jingzong looked miserable, for fear that Chen Ying would punish him.

However, Xu Jingzong did not dare to disobey Chen Ying's order, so Xu Jingzong, who was in a state of anxiety, came to Chen Ying's study anxiously.

Xu Jingzong quietly looked at Chen Ying's face, and found that Chen Ying's face was normal, and there was no ambush in the study, Xu Jingzong looked at Chen Ying cautiously, and asked tremblingly: "I don't know why the general manager called Jingzong?"

Contrary to Xu Jingzong's expectation, Chen Ying didn't mention Xu Erniang at all.In fact, Chen Ying has also figured it out. It is meaningless to pursue Xu Jingzong at this time. Anyway, he and Xu Erniang already have a husband and wife relationship.

Chen Ying said indifferently: "Sun Tzu has a saying, if a husband has not fought and the temple counts as a winner, it must be counted as more; if the temple has not fought but the temple is counted as invincible, it must be counted as less. More counts as victory, less counts as victory, and nothing counts." Huh! From this point of view, the outcome is clear. It can be seen that in this battle, you still have to use your brain. If you can't use your brain to fight, that is a reckless man. Below our army, soldiers not only need to be fearless, loyal and brave, but also need to learn How to use your brain. But right now, most of the military are reckless men who can’t use their brains, so after much deliberation, Chief Ben decided to set up a martial arts lecture hall in the army to teach officers how to organize troops, maneuver orders, formation orders, command soldiers, Knowledge about camping, drills, city defense, offense and defense...what does Xu Canjun think?"

Xu Jingzong pondered for a long time, shook his head and said slowly: "Director, if you set up a martial arts school in the army and openly recruit disciples, I'm afraid it will bring innocent trouble to the general!"

Chen Yingdao: "This shouldn't happen, right?"

Xu Jingzong smiled wryly: "It's not impossible, but it is certain!"

After Xu Jingzong's explanation, Chen Ying finally understood.In this era, it is not an easy task to set up military law courses and train military officers.

In fact, Chen Ying was a bit too idealistic. In the era of various schools of thought, military strategists had always been feared by various factions.The reason is actually very simple, because military strategists pose too great a threat to the ruler. Representatives of military strategists such as Sun Wu, Sima Rangju, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Wei Liao, Zhao She, Bai Qi, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, etc., anyone can A regime can be easily overthrown.

Even if the military gods of war obviously have no intention of rebelling, they will not end well.The reason is actually very simple-it's just a master of high merit.If Chen Ying opened a martial arts lecture hall in the army and recruited many disciples, it would definitely give people a feeling of being a military strategist, and I am afraid that Li Yuan would be the most disturbed.

Chen Yingdao: "Could it be done?"

"Of course it is possible to run a school, and it is very necessary!" Xu Jingzong said: "Just change the name!"

Chen Ying nodded, thought for a while and said, "That's the literacy class for de-blindness!"

Xu Jingzong became puzzled, he didn't borrow much knowledge, he could think about it carefully, but he had never heard the meaning of this word before, so he couldn't help asking: "Get rid of blindness? What's the explanation for this?"

Chen Ying smiled and explained: "Soldiers are so vulgar and vulgar, they don't know a lot of characters, they are like blind. This manager should teach them to read first, so as to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being blind!"

Xu Jingzong had a flattering smile on his face: "Director Chen created the word "blindness", which is quite appropriate!"

Chen Yingdao: "Then do this."

On the morning of May [-]th in the second year of Wude, Chen Ying beat the Jujiang drum.

"Dong dong..." With the sound of the heavy drums, the generals of the Dingyuan Army at all levels thought that there was some big military operation, and hurriedly ran from their respective training grounds to the Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion.

Not long after, Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Liu Tong, Bi Xin, Liang Zan, Zhang Huaiwei, and other generals of the Dingyuan Army arrived at the Jietang of Lingzhou Governor's Mansion.Afterwards, Yu Guni, Chen Jinyong, and Ashina Simo from the Lingwu Army also arrived.

Chen Ying looked serious, glanced at the generals like lightning, and said slowly: "The generals of the Dingyuan Army, the Lingwu Army, and the middle and lower ranks of officers can not only fight bravely, but also fight with their brains. Literacy is the foundation. Our Instead of using the Thousand-Character Classic or the Three-Character Classic to teach the officers, I have sorted out some simple principles of governing and employing troops and compiled a thin booklet, and I will use this to teach. Each Zhechong prefecture will hold an elementary literacy class for de-blindness, Officers above the captain and above are the students of the first phase, including the deputy captain. They must participate and must not be absent. The captains of Zhechong prefectures are personally responsible for the period of three months. The academic performance of the students in the literacy class will be included in the assessment. The students of the first period, if the assessment results fail to meet the standards after three months, they will automatically transfer to the second period of study. If they still fail to meet the standards in the second period of study, they will be demoted by one level, and they will be included in the third period of study to continue their studies. Qualified, continue to descend one level..."

Hearing Chen Ying's words, all the generals below looked miserable.

Fortunately, Chen Ying used his consecutive victories to establish absolute prestige in the hearts of the generals. If this literacy class had been held half a year ago, some generals would have jumped out and scolded their mothers on the spot.But now, Chen Ying's absolute prestige is there. Although these generals are full of complaints, they dare not refute Chen Ying.

Chen Ying didn't seem to see the bitter faces of the generals below, and continued: "Since the second round of literacy class rewards, it is no longer limited to officers at the rank of team leader, brigade leader, and school lieutenant. Outstanding soldiers who have potential to be tapped are selected. Students who have achieved excellent results in the literacy class will be promoted to five to eight people by the chief manager, and transferred to the office of the general manager's office to join the army."

Of course, regardless of the low level of joining the army, there are only sixth-rank officers, except for the six Zhechong captains, but it is also very attractive to other officers at the level of school lieutenant officers.Chen Ying's move is to use the test results of the literacy class to take the opportunity to build his own military staff team.
