Chapter 497: Training in the Cold Winter Wax Moon
With the arrival of the first snow since the beginning of winter in Chang'an City, the Tang Royal Military Need was finally officially established.
Li Shimin, the nominal dean, naturally attended the opening ceremony in person.
Although the time interval between the planning and the establishment of the military academy is very short, the number of cadets is not large at all.
Many nobles in Chang'an City knew the significance of this academy, so they naturally tried their best to stuff their own children and nephews into it.
In addition, Li Kuan suggested that young and literate soldiers be selected from the 12 guards to study at the military academy, and the number of cadets enrolled in the first class reached 500.
"Your Majesty, the students who are enrolled now are considered normal academy students, and after the academy slowly enters the right track, Wei Chen suggests that all the captains of Zhechong Prefecture from all over the country be rotated to the academy for at least three months of study, so as to improve the loyalty of generals at all levels to Datang."
Qin Qiong, as the governor of the Tang Royal Military Academy, is the de facto number one and manager.
These days, he has repeatedly gone to the courtyard of the Chu Wangfu and talked to Li Kuan about the construction of the academy.
Others may think that Li Kuan is still too young, and there may be no point in communicating with him about this kind of thing.
Qin Qiong wouldn't think so.
Qin Huaidao was on an errand in the Chu Palace, Qin Qiong's attention to various things in the Chu Mansion was higher than that of ordinary people, and he also studied Li Kuan's performance in recent years, plus the Guanshishan Academy is now booming, and the Tang Royal Military Academy was also established at Li Kuan's suggestion.
And Li Kuan's own performance in Liangzhou and Tuyuhun was also eye-catching.
It can be said that Li Kuan is not as good as many people in traditional cavalry and infantry training, but many people are not as good as Li Kuan in some innovative ideas.
However, no one has ever done this thing in the military academy before, and what they want is innovative ideas.
"Not only the captain of Zhichong Prefecture, but after the scale of the academy is large, all the officers who lead more than 100 people will all go to the military academy for training, and the imperial court will have corresponding punishment measures for the officers who fail to pass the assessment, and those who perform well will be given priority to promotion."
Li Shimin is now full of expectations for the Military Academy.
This is an unprecedented initiative, especially the division of labor among the various subjects, which makes people see the power of formalization.
"What Your Majesty said is that when Weichen talked to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of discipline and obedience, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, in order to avoid some accidents, how to manage the soldiers in various places has become very important."
"That's the truth, but wouldn't it be too exaggerated to let these trainees go through a three-month basic cohort training? After all, the most important thing in our military academy is to teach all kinds of military techniques and all kinds of combat knowledge. ”
When Li Shimin said this, he turned his head to Li Kuan's side.
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, a bunch of generals around him turned their eyes to Li Kuan.
These people have more or less heard of the training methods of the guards of the Chu Palace, and some people have tried to imitate and learn, but none of them have really implemented them.
Now, the Tang Royal Military Academy has hired Xue Li, the head of the guard of the Chu Palace, as the chief instructor of the first three months of training for new students, which has a very different meaning.
When this training plan was reported to Li Shimin, even he didn't understand.
"Your Majesty, if they are all newly recruited peasant children, it is possible to consider reducing this training time from three months to two months, or even one month. However, the students in the academy today are basically either descendants of the noble heroes of various families, or veterans of the Twelve Guards, and have formed their own specific habits. The first step in the training of this new trainee is to make them truly carry out orders and prohibitions and obey instructions. The task of understanding must be carried out, and the task of not understanding must be carried out. ”
Li Kuan wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems that he can't be low-key.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, are you saying that the soldiers of the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty cannot meet the requirements of the Military Academy?"
Li Junxian said dissatisfiedly on the side.
This time, dozens of his subordinates were also selected to study at the Military Academy, and what Li Kuan said now is that he is a little disgusted with these personnel.
This naturally upset him.
In his opinion, as the team that guards the safety of Daming Palace, he leads the elite of the elite.
Now that he is disliked?
What does that mean?
"Yes!"
Li Kuan gave his answer directly without being polite.
The scene was cold for a while.
"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui's method of military training, Wei Chen has also seen it. At the beginning, His Royal Highness the King of Chu took the guards to serve as the vanguard of the army that conquered Tuyuhun, and the military discipline was really very strict, and the general team that was forbidden to fly far away was comparable. Now that this military academy has been created, it is also a safe policy to establish the rules first. ”
Li Jing, as the military god of the Tang Dynasty, was naturally hired as a teacher of the Military Academy, and he was also on the scene today.
He has always admired Xue Rengui, and today he also stood up to express his support.
"Actually, if I want Lao Cheng to evaluate whether this arrangement is good or not, it's actually very simple. First train according to Xue Rengui's method for three months, and then then have another competition with the elite of the Twelve Guards. If these students who originally came from the Twelve Guards won the competition after training, it means that the training is good. If you lose, then this training time will have to be reconsidered. ”
Cheng Yanjin put forward his own suggestion seemingly fairly on the side.
In fact, he had long understood the training method of the guards of the Chu Palace, and he was more confident in it.
"Then follow the method that Zhijie said, and try to practice for three months first."
There will be no result if the fight continues, and Li Shimin directly made a decision.
……
Although the snow had already been cleared on the school yard after the snow, some snowflakes remained on the concrete floor.
Zhu Fufu took the whip and walked back and forth excitedly.
"Tuck your belly, keep your chest straight, and look straight ahead."
"You! It's you, what's the twist of the neck? Didn't you say you couldn't move anything? ”
"The second place on the right in the second row, out of the line, is punished for doing a hundred push-ups."
Zhu Fufu never thought that one day he would be able to become an instructor and teach lessons to the cadets in the Tang Royal Military Academy.
Although this class is not quite the same as the general "class".
Xue Li was appointed as the chief instructor, although he only taught the first batch of 500 students, but he could not train alone.
Naturally, he wanted to bring a group of people from the guards of the Chu Palace's palace to help with training.
A team like Zhu Fufu is naturally the best choice.
Li Kuan came up with this set of training methods, Zhu Fufu and they are already very familiar with.
From the very beginning, I couldn't hold on to the military posture for a quarter of an hour, and now I have no problem standing for an hour, and the progress in the middle is absolutely huge.
Of course, there was a lot of sweat and some price paid in the middle.
Especially for Zhu Fufu, who was originally illiterate and did not distinguish between left and right, this series of training is still very challenging.
"Dudu, don't look at these students as unruly, but their receptivity is indeed relatively strong, much stronger than when I first trained the escort team."
Xue Rengui looked at a team standing in a square in the school yard, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Since the main tasks at this stage are all about standing in a military posture and walking in unison, except for Qin Qiong, the governor of the Military Academy, the other generals are basically staying at their own homes.
When classes officially start, I will take time to come to class every day.
Of course, the Military Academy is different from the Guanshishan Academy, and their classes are more practical than theoretical courses.
In order to meet the training needs, the college has specially enclosed a large piece of land, which is twice the size of Guanshishan Academy.
"After all, these students are carefully selected, if the receptivity is still so poor, then how can it be worth focusing on training?"
Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui kept walking back and forth in the school field together, confirming the training of the students.
Of course, there is also the purpose of helping the instructors to suppress the trainees.
After all, these instructors are generally not from high backgrounds, and many students from noble children really don't necessarily take them seriously.
"Beep!"
With a whistle, there was immediately another rush in the dormitory area of the Datang Royal Military Academy.
Although this is not the first time that they have encountered such a sudden attack, the reaction speed of these team members is still a little unsatisfactory.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the black light is blinding, and the clothing is not conducive to fast wear.
"The last three students who arrived at the school, congratulations, tomorrow's breakfast is gone!"
Zhu Fufu's words were like the voice of the devil, which frightened the last few students who arrived almost to lose their souls.
It doesn't matter if you eat breakfast or not, it's a big deal to eat a little more at noon.
But now at the military academy, the amount of training every day is so large, and I don't eat breakfast......
When the sun is high, the hunger in the stomach can make people feel painful.
If you make a mistake in the morning training because you didn't eat in the morning, you will be punished again for not having food at noon.
That's even more ......
"The people in the same dormitory with these five team members have the last meal this morning."
Originally, there were some people in the team who gloated and looked at the three unlucky guys, but immediately another group of people were recruited.
It doesn't seem to matter if you don't look at the order of your meals, but considering that although the main food is served in unlimited quantities every day, the dishes at each table are rationed, so it's different.
Eating late basically means eating dry rice and running out of dishes!
Among the students, whether you are a child of a noble family or a child of a peasant family, after a few days of intense training in the academy, what you are most looking forward to now is the time to eat every day.
If the only happy moment is gone, the days will be miserable.
"Stand upright! Run three laps around the school yard and go back to rest! ”
Seeing that no one in the crowd dared to oppose his resolution, Zhu Fufu was still very satisfied.
