Chapter 476, Loyalty and Honor
"One-two-one, one-two-one~"
On the huge playground, the recruits shouted slogans and kept running around the huge playground.
Huo Yun only felt as if his body was as heavy as a mountain, and every step he took felt as if he was walking in a muddy swamp.
The morning run had been going on for almost half an hour, and everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on, and the instructor was still saying something that made him want to beat him up.
It's just that at this time, everyone no longer has the heart to pay attention to the instructor's words, just shouting slogans, and following most of them to keep insisting and persisting.
"Bell~Bell~"
Finally, as if spring had arrived, the bell rang in the playground for the end of the morning run, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.
However, discipline is an extremely important thing, and in the past half a month, these new troops have only learned one thing, and that is obedience!
As long as the instructor does not say disbandment, then no one dares to disband, otherwise some will suffer.
Soon, the teams of each class slowly ended their morning runs, and the instructor did not talk nonsense, and directly ordered the disbandment, and countless cheers immediately sounded.
Only at this moment can they rejoice, a new day, the morning run is complete.
But this is just the beginning.
After breakfast, the morning training began again, and it was very boring and boring.
Under the instructions of the instructor, everyone learned to stand upright, take a break, turn left and right, and stand in a military posture, which was very simple, Huo Yun had learned it on the first day of coming, but he had been standing for half a month, and the instructor had never taught them martial arts, the skills of killing the enemy in battle, etc., just a team that repeated this boring teaching.
"Risaki~Rest~"
"Turn Left~"
"Turn right~"
"Backwards~"
With the instructor's order, Huo Yun's second class kept repeating the simple team one after another.
Huo Yun couldn't figure it out, what was the use of doing such things all the time, could he rely on this to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy?
Or will learning this make them an iron army?
I can't figure it out, but I keep repeating it without boring, and every once in a while, the instructor will keep them moving at all times.
Of course, Huo Yun didn't know that this set was the most basic thing in the armies of the world in later generations, and the purpose was to cultivate the obedience and willpower of soldiers.
Generally, recruits need to go through at least one month of this basic training, and they will always repeat these basic things in the subsequent training.
Constantly training these soldiers in obedience and willpower is the most important thing in a strong army.
After the boring training in the morning, Huo Yun and the other recruits had two hours of time to eat, rest, and take a nap, which was also the time that Huo Yun looked forward to the most every day.
Because only at this time can he have his own time, be able to lie down comfortably, sleep for a while, and forget the tiredness of the morning.
In the afternoon, it was still boring training, but it was added to the study, and on the huge playground, the teams of each class were constantly walking around.
Again, this is an extremely boring process.
Huo Yun also didn't understand why he was walking around like this, but this did not prevent him from obeying the instructor's instructions, for half a month, at the beginning, his movements were sparse, but now he was slowly able to achieve the same pace and act in unison.
After dinner, it was Huo Yun's favorite and most tiring part - taking night classes and reading and hyphenating.
The recruits recruited this time, the children from Xungui's family are naturally able to read and write, but Huo Yun and the children of those who were born in peasant families are very few who can read and write, and they are all illiterate.
In Li Yunlong's words, it was a big character that didn't know a basket, and he didn't know that it was a word.
The new army that Liu Jin wants to build is a good family, and at the same time, everyone must be literate and hyphenation, be able to count, and at the same time learn some astronomical and geographical knowledge.
It is naturally not possible to know how to read and hyphenation, so night classes are also necessary.
In addition, the most important thing is to brainwash these recruits through night classes and instill in them the idea of loyalty and patriotism.
That's the most important thing.
In the army of later generations, whether it is the army of that country, politics is the most important course, whether an army is strong or not, it is another matter, and the most important thing is that loyalty must always be maintained.
In this feudal dynasty, it is natural to remain loyal to the king and to the country.
One of the important reasons why Emperor Hongzhi vigorously supported the reform of the new army was that Liu Jin's plan included a link in the patriotic education of the loyal monarch and instilled the idea of loyalty to the monarch.
What is the emperor most afraid of?
Of course, the most feared thing is that someone usurps power and seizes the throne, since ancient times, many of these usurpations are inseparable from the army, and the changes in history are inseparable from this.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty began to learn the lesson of this aspect, and then began to slowly emphasize literature and light military force, suppressing the status of military generals, and now it is directly using civil affairs to dominate the military, and use civilian officials to lead the army and lead the army.
For military generals, the emperors of all dynasties were very guarded.
In the construction of the new army, brainwashing is absolutely indispensable, and it is necessary to instill the idea of loyalty to the monarch, so that Emperor Hongzhi knows that the army is more reliable than these literati and is absolutely loyal to the king.
In each classroom, the oil lamps are lit, and under the effect of glass lamps and mirrors, each classroom is very bright as if it were daytime.
One by one, the recruits sat on their desks, with textbooks and pencils in their hands, listening carefully.
The same is true for Huo Yun, when he was a child, his family was poor, and his parents had no ability to provide him to go to a private school to study, so he secretly went to the private school many times and secretly eavesdropped on the teacher's lectures outside the classroom.
In his heart, he is actually very eager to learn knowledge, to be able to read and hyphenation, to be able to read books, and to be able to write.
But the family conditions did not allow it, and when he was a child, he secretly went to attend classes, but as he got a little older, his parents began to arrange for him to do all kinds of farm work, and gradually, this desire in his heart was extinguished.
Who knew that after joining the army, in the military academy, there was a gentleman who taught them literacy and hyphenation for free, and he was able to be in the bright classroom, holding the textbook and listening to the teacher's lecture.
Huo Yun cherished it very much, he did it fiercely when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be realized when he grew up.
It's just that when I'm older, I feel very hard to learn, and I only learn ten words every night, but Huo Yun always forgets, what I learned yesterday I forgot today, and what I learned today will be returned to the teacher tomorrow.
This made him very distressed, and he always felt that he was very useless.
Ten words a day, after the words are taught, it is simple mathematics, Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, are very simple content.
In mathematics, Huo Yun's talent is very good, he learns very easily, and Arabic numerals are very simple, and it is very convenient to calculate.
"Alright, that's all for today's math lesson~"
"Let's take out the history textbook, what we want to talk about today is the great glorious history of Taizu's expulsion of Yuan Yu and the restoration of the Han family~"
The brainwashing class began.
The teaching books are specially written by Liu Jin, mainly to tell the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the focus is to portray the great and righteous side of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, mainly tells the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of Hu Lu and the recovery of the country, as for Zhu Di, all of them are about his seven expeditions to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and drinking Ma Saibei, as for how his position as emperor came about, it must not be told.
When it comes to Emperor Hongzhi, it mainly tells how the current Emperor Hongzhi is, how benevolent, loves the people like a son, is diligent and thrifty, and so on.
In short, in the textbooks here, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are gods, they are all perfect incarnations, and it is their honor to be loyal to the emperor, and it is a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
At the same time, the Confucian set, the monarch and the minister, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die is also copied, and Liu Jin even moved the set of the later Wa Kingdom to erect the loyalty and honor of the soldier here in the military academy.
Loyalty and honor, this is the motto of the Daming Royal Military Academy.
What Liu Jin wanted was to imprint these two things deeply into everyone's soul, to establish absolute loyalty to the Ming Emperor in their minds, and to regard the honor of the military as his own life.
Of course, Liu Jin also quietly carried some private goods in it, in addition to emphasizing loyalty to the monarch, but also popularizing patriotic thoughts.
Patriotism is the land of China and the Han civilization.
The civilization of the Han family is eternal, and the dynasty is constantly changing, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, this is an equally important thing, and it is also something that Liu Jin brought in it.
These people who came out of the Ming Imperial Military Academy should not only be the emperor's domestic slaves, but also the guardians of this land and the guardians of Han civilization.
What we should be loyal to is not to be loyal to a certain family or surname, but to this country, to this nation, and to this great civilization.
