PS: Thank you for the reward of "Dragon and Legend".

Wu Zheng didn't know that this appointment had inadvertently triggered a big change.

Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, Zhang Huangyan and others dug a "pit" for Wu Zheng.

Because of the establishment of the school administration, the impact is great.

Invisibly, these people "conspired" to fundamentally correct Wu Zheng's continued disgust with the imperial examination.

For the general's palace to re-implement the imperial examination, the biggest obstacle has been cleared.

The reason why Wu Zheng hated the imperial examination was indeed influenced by the criticism of the imperial examination system by later generations, and he deeply believed that most of the poets selected by the imperial examination system were poets and ministers, and their brilliant writing did not have much effect on the Northern Expedition.

The princes under the command of the General's Mansion knew Wu Zheng's temperament, and he persuaded him several times, and after finding it useless, he no longer touched his nose, anyway, according to Wu Zheng's current meaning, the selection of civil officials from Jiangnan College, the selection of military generals from military schools, and the selection of economic talents from business schools can also meet the operation of various yamen.

If there is something good on the road, it will be very bad at the bottom.

As a result, the scholars and students of the former dynasties in the prefectures and counties, especially those who were older and had become difficult to change, were beaten into the dust.

Jiangnan is wealthy, and the proportion of scholars is very high, and there are many such people.

In each imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River often accounted for more than eighty percent of the total.

If the Ming family is revived, then these scholars who have already been selected will often be overpromoted.

But now, these people have become waste in the eyes of people, which is also the main reason for the opposition to Wu Zheng in the land of the eleven mansions.

Under their powerlessness to fight, they took refuge in the clan one after another, or left to go to Yungui to serve Yongli, and even did not hesitate to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the name of traitors.

And Qian Sule is in the south of the Yangtze River, especially south of the Qiantang River, and his reputation is very high.

He was a ten-year jinshi of Chongzhen, and then awarded Taicang Zhizhou, during which he ranked first in Jiangnan in terms of performance, and then moved to the criminal department.

As a person with a good reputation from such a Jinshi background, once he takes the position of Xuezheng, one can imagine what he will do next.

Wu Zheng actually didn't realize what Qian Sule would do when he took office as a school administrator, he was just arranging a decent enough official position for his father-in-law at this time.

……。

Wu Zheng no longer needs to be distracted by the army's training, and the cadets brought out of the military academy have experienced the vicious battles in the battlefields south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and there is no need for Wu Zheng to say anything about their tactics and command quality.

The generals of various departments spontaneously began to review and reflect on the rights and wrongs, gains and losses of the war struggle, summed up the advantages and disadvantages of various firearms on the battlefield, and sent articles to the military workshops urging the improvement of weapons.

What made Wu Zheng even more pleased was that after reviewing the situation, the chief officers of the guards learned from each other's strong points and made up for their weaknesses to form a fairly feasible supplement to the operational tactics of firearms troops, which effectively improved and supplemented the previous tactics.

When Wu Zheng received the detailed rules submitted to him, he not only praised the wisdom and courage of the ancients.

For example, in the detailed rules, several completely different tactics are used to deal with different enemies.

At this time, the establishment of the new army was a five-five system, with five battalions in one regiment, plus one artillery company, five companies in one battalion, plus one artillery platoon, five platoons in one company, five squads in one platoon, and thirteen people in one squad (one squad leader, one squad deputy, and eleven soldiers, one of whom was a mineman). This is because there are no repeating guns at this time, and the firepower is insufficient, so you can only make up the number of people.

After the generals' review, they revised the previous tactics of platoon guns and three-stage strikes.

When a battle breaks out, if the enemy's strength is almost the same or smaller than its own, two squads will immediately attack the enemy, and the other two squads will spread out to outflank the enemy from the flanks, and the last squad will occupy favorable terrain to provide fire support to the two squads that charge.

That is, at the first time, inflict the most violent blow on the enemy, disrupt the enemy's formation, break the enemy's will, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, trigger the panic of the enemy's main forces, and continue to expand the local advantage.

This is summarized by Chi Erhan and Lu Zhiyu according to the Battle of Tongzhou, which is very effective, especially against the Qing army that is not cavalry, almost a dozen and one accurate, and a company can defeat the Qing army several times its own.

The key to this tactic lies in the soldier's will to fight, which requires a very strong fighting spirit, and his eyes light up when he sees the enemy, which is what is commonly said, a soldier who "howls" as soon as he is released.

If they encounter an enemy with twice the strength of their own, they should use two squads to block the enemy with heavy fire on the spot according to the favorable terrain to cover the retreat of the remaining three squads to the rear, and build a temporary cover position not far from the rear to cover the retreat of the two squads that blocked the enemy, and complete the reorganization in the rear of the position.

Then, on the constructed position, continue to block the enemy, so as to delay the enemy's advance speed and gain time for the main force in the rear to complete the construction of a strong position.

This tactic was summed up by Jiang Quanyi based on the Battle of Taizhou.

These are just two tactical plans in the field, as well as Chen Sheng's summary of the musket defense of the city, Fang Guoan's summary of the artillery siege and artillery field battle, and so on.

When Wu Zheng saw this, he had to admit in his heart that compared to these professional people, he was a layman.

There are too many things to worry about, and in this case, professional things should be left to professional people to do.

Therefore, Wu Zheng and the generals several times, after a little modification and improvement, then compiled into a book, named it "Northern Expeditionary Army Infantry Drill Trial Version", and then officially in the name of the general, issued a training order for the Northern Expeditionary Army's guards, each guard to the platoon and above officers, three months of tactical command training, three months later, with the platoon as a unit, the soldiers were trained.

……。

Wu Zheng's energy was mainly placed on the military workshop that stretched for dozens of miles in Songjiang Mansion and the two major ports of Hangzhou and Wusong.

Almost at the cost of his own reputation, almost completely contrary to his own wishes, Wu Zheng previously agreed to the signing of an armistice agreement between the imperial court and the Qing court, in order to accumulate strength, strengthen the army, and expand the army.

But now, because of the sudden launch of a purge of the clan, officialdom, and shopping malls, Wu Zheng has to focus on internal affairs.

It's ridiculous to say, but it has to be.

The reason is very simple: purge is just an attitude, and the effect is to force containment, not purge.

It is like curing a disease, controlling the disease so that it does not worsen or spread, and treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

If the purges really worked, then any dynasty would only need to be slaughtered.

The effect of the purge is on the surface, and the repression only works in the short term, and the sequelae are often more powerful.

Hatred can last for decades, even centuries.
