The night was dark, and Wu Gong's eyes widened in the dark. Outside the window, the sound of crickets came and went, and it was only four watches at this time, and he was no longer sleepy.

Thousands of miles away, my father sent him here, is it just to learn something?

If that's the case, it's better to go to the army to hone in the army. Wouldn't those real military careers be more able to learn skills?

The "country", "nation", "Huayi distinction", "Spring and Autumn Righteousness", and "stars and seas" in the newspapers always upset him, even though his father said that these were all deceptive things.

If it was a deception, how could my father so often flip through those newspapers late into the night and sigh at the window? And how can you feel that you are closely related to the future of the nation?

"Wu Gong."

Yu Yunwen, who was in the shop, touched him lightly and pointed out the house. The two of them knew this, put on their clothes lightly, and came outside.

The huge school field was empty, except for some early students who were running, except for the sound of insects, the school field was silent.

"Brother Wu Gong, you and I are both from Sichuan, and we will definitely promote each other in the future, learn to join the army, and make meritorious contributions."

The two walked around the school grounds and felt the coolness of the night. Yu Yunwen said softly as he walked.

"Yu Yunwen, I'm afraid that after I finish my studies, I will have to go back to Sichuan, so I am always nervous."

"Wu Gong, you're too worried. The loyal and righteous army is a heroic army in the world, and the martial arts hall is a school for officers. As long as you succeed in your studies, it doesn't matter where you go. ”

Wu Gong laughed softly, and his mood became relieved.

"To tell the truth, when we come out of the martial arts hall, I want to follow the loyal and righteous army, go to the Western Regions together, step on the horse, and see the hometown of the Han family. If you can do this, you can be regarded as getting what you want. ”

"Wu Gong, what you said is good. I also hope that one day, as the newspaper said, the flag of China can be planted in command of thousands of troops, snow-capped mountains and seas, deserts and Gobi, wherever there are Chinese. ”

Wu Gong laughed softly, obviously infected by the pride and ambition of his fellow villagers.

"Wu Gong, I heard that the training of the Loyal and Righteous Army is harsh, and just running every day is more than ten miles. Let's have nothing to do, let's try to see which one falls first. ”

"Good idea, let's get started now."

The two ran together, and after a while, the two became dozens, hundreds, and finally formed a long line of hundreds.

When the wake-up whistle blew, the scar-faced Jiang Hu was a little surprised. Unlike the non-commissioned officers in the army who get up on time, these energetic cadets have occupied every corner of the school grounds.

Jiang Hu shook his head slightly. This may be the difference between these reserve officers and ordinary non-commissioned officers.

On the teaching ground, all kinds of flags flew in the morning light. The students lined up neatly on the school field, raised their heads and chests, and looked at Wang Song and the instructors on the high platform.

The instructors of the "Lecture on Martial Arts" are all selected from the army, such as Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, Lin Tianyou, and others, as well as some retired officers, who enter the Lecture Hall to explain military books and tactics.

Seeing the smiling young man in the crowd, Yu Yunwen felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this person was probably Wang Song.

"Hello students! I'm Wang Song. On behalf of all the officials under the Xuanfu Division and all the officers and men of the Loyal and Righteous Army, I would like to welcome you all here. ”

"Hello Headmaster!"

"Long live Xianggong!"

As soon as Wang Song finished speaking, the teaching field remembered the thunderous shouts, some from newcomers and some from old departments in the army.

Yu Yunwen stood in the middle, subconsciously waving his arms, but his mouth was speechless.

"Ladies and gentlemen

Since the end of Xuanhe, the Jin people went south, the mountains and rivers were broken, the people were devastated, and the imperial court was defeated repeatedly. At the root of this, China has lost its martial spirit. The scholar only knew how to sing poetry and wine, and talked about empty words; The warriors lost their dignity and were confused; The soldiers are lazy and slack, and do not cultivate spears; Jun Tian is a minister, and the people are keen to make profits and value goods. With the weak and unbearable lazy pawns, there is no reason to be invincible against the elite of the golden man and iron horse!"

"The country of Chinese etiquette is a big country, but it is so weak and weak, and it has been repeatedly bullied by the northern captives. Cutting land and paying compensation, groveling, in the final analysis, it is not that the court is stupid and the ministers are incompetent! If I still have a martial style in China, how can I allow these barbarian alien races to be so rampant!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

The deafening roars of the students resounded on the school ground. Obviously, this is basically issued by the officers and men in the army.

Wang Song's face was solemn, and he said loudly:

"Fanzi is so arrogant, it's not that he is bullying me, and there is no one in China! In the final analysis, if you want to defeat the Jin people, you must have a strong army, a strong army, and an iron-like loyal army!"

"Loyal Army, Loyal Army!"

The atmosphere of the cadets in the army was high, everyone's chest seemed to be burning, their hearts were beating faster, and their eyes and faces were swollen and red.

"Cadets, an iron-like loyal army, need invincible grassroots officers who are familiar with various combat skills. Only such an officer can lead the soldiers to victory. I hope that you will study hard, be brave after being ashamed, worry about the worries of the world, and be a "good" officer, whose name will go down through the ages, and live up to China!"

When he said the word "good", Wang Song gave a thumbs up and never put it down.

The students applauded, and everyone turned red, which was also a new way of celebration invented by the Loyal Army.

The speech was short and powerful, and Wang Song stepped aside and nodded. These young people in front of him were full of vitality, which made him inexplicably a little excited.

Perhaps, the future of the Loyal Army lies in these young people.

At the end of the instructor's military discipline speech, the trainees left one by one with neat steps from the outside to the inside, and only a few people such as Wang Song were left on the teaching ground.

"Xianggong, the students in this phase are good, many of them are from Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Jinghu, such as Huang Zhongfu, the nephew of the old Xianggong, Huang Gongdu of Fujian, Yu Yunwen of Sichuan, Hu Quan of Jiangxi, and Wu Gong's eldest son Wu Gong and others, all of whom are among the leaders."

"Wu Jue is now a prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and I can't imagine sending his eldest son over!"

Wang Song smiled. Although this Wu Jue has a loss, he can soothe the soldiers, share his joys and sorrows, love the people simply, and have meritorious service in resisting gold in history, and his brother Wu Lu and his son Wu Gong, a loyal martyr, can be regarded as a hero of China.

"They are all guests from afar, train this Wu Gong well, and also give the Wu brothers a face."

Wang Song opened the roster and continued to read.

"Hu Quan, a native of Luling, 28 years old, has learned from hundreds of schools of history, and is proficient in painting......"

Wang Song nodded, pointed to the roster and said: "This Hu Quan can be put into the infantry department, and his talent in surveying and mapping cannot be wasted."

Wang Song explained, and suddenly raised his head as if he remembered something, "What did you just say, Yu Yunwen from Sichuan?"

Huang Zong nodded and said, "Xianggong, exactly!" This Yu Yunwen is a family of generations of officials. His grandfather was Yu Shinan, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his father Yu Qi was a Jinshi during the Zhenghe period, and now he is recuperating in Sichuan. Yu Yunwen was smart when he was young, he was able to write at the age of seven, and now he is just 20 years old, and he is in his prime, and he is a rare genius. ”

Wang Song nodded slightly. Now he is sure that this Yu Yunwen is the famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and the true god who was praised by the great man as "the great Duke Yu, a person through the ages".

The wonder of war, the clever strategy, loyalty and bravery

, the first in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yu Yunwen's praise in later generations is too high.

"Yu Yunwen, these young talents, must be cultivated well, and they will all be the pillars of the nation in the future!"

In addition to military tactics, weapons, surveying and mapping, fortification, and exemplary orders, mathematics, history, geography, etc., are added to the educational method of "Lecture Martial Arts", and each lesson is 45 minutes long.

The exemplary pamphlet is the guideline for teaching various military maneuvers. The purpose of general knowledge is to enrich the military knowledge of the cadets and prepare them for the comprehensive study of various military exercises.

Technical training, first in the playground for various standard coaches, and then to each training field exercises.

Field exercises will first move from simple to complex, and then gradually move into full-scale joint exercises. There are protective gear for stabbing techniques, horse riding training has horse farms, artillery training has artillery ranges, engineers have civil engineering work sites and bridge erection sites, and blasting drills are selected to avoid causing harm.

Auxiliary disciplines such as martial arts, etc., have professional instructors. Each training session lasts more than 45 minutes, the formal drill training is generally two hours, and the field drill takes at least half a day.

When the subject is complex and away from school, it is increased to one to a few days. They also carried tents and cooking utensils during the exercise, and lived in the exercise site.

After completing half a year of discontinuous study, military cadets go to the military for internships, while non-military cadets who recruit from civilian schools have one year of study. After half a year of internship, I returned to school to hold a graduation ceremony.

After graduation, all cadets will be assigned to each military for six months. At the end of the probationary period, they are assigned to each army as officers, and the cadets without official rank start with the lowest officer. Cadets with official rank will be automatically promoted to a new post.

For those students who have passed the examination and have low cultural knowledge, the "Lecture Martial Arts Hall" specially invites some teachers from the "Hope School" to come over and help the students teach and supplement their knowledge.

As for the principal, Wang Song is the one who does not give in. He naturally knows the stakes involved.

Yuan Shikai relied on the graduates of the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Cao Kun, Lu Jianzhang and others to train troops in small stations and successfully ruled China for more than 20 years, and these graduates of the Armed Forces Academy have also become the backbone and backbone of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army.

With the help of the Whampoa Military Academy, Jiang Guangtou trained a large number of confidant officers in one fell swoop, established a new army, and stood firm for more than 20 years.

Behind every big man, there are a large number of generals in the army who are willing to be eagle dogs, charging into battle, and they are loyal.

Just imagine, Wang Song worked hard to establish the martial arts hall, how could he hand it over to others?

Moreover, a large number of civilian children among the officers, who have no family interests to do with them, will be more loyal and easier to cultivate than those who are the children of the family and the nobles.

Even those students recruited from the private sector are still mostly children of good families, and the children of other wealthy officials and eunuchs are also people who are in their prime and loyal to the country.

The Chinese civilization is broad and profound, with a long history, there are hundreds of schools, there are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gunpowder, papermaking, compass, movable type printing, these four major inventions, opera and miscellaneous arts, countless, what do the Jin people have?

There is nothing, even the official system is borrowed from the Liao State.

What is a country, what is a nation, and what is a soldier?

The spirit of a soldier is patriotism, and if a soldier does not love his family and dislikes his hometown, he is not a good soldier! Loving the country and the nation, soldiers must have this virtue!

Sacrifice, unity, obedience. When the Jin people went south, if it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were greedy for life and afraid of death, scattered sand, and refused to obey orders, they would have dared to gallop in the land of China with tens of thousands of Jurchens?

The Jurchen cavalry was elite, burning, killing and looting, and the lives were devastated. The purpose of the Xuanfu Division's lecture hall is to train a large number of officers, so that the officers can pass on the help and lead in the army, build a strong army, and compete with the Jurchen cavalry at the same time, and regain the martial spirit of the Han people.
