Thanks to the comrades of "Tongtianhe Seafood" for actively responding to the call of Father-in-law Wei!

........

After the opening ceremony of the training camp, Gonggong Wei did not immediately go to Keelung Harbor to determine the matters concerning the Combined Fleet's February expedition to the Ryukyus, but stayed in the training camp for three days with the purpose of further strengthening the ideological work of the cadets and urging the implementation of various systems of the military and political training camp.

The training of eunuchs in the supervision army is unprecedented in all dynasties, and it is a system design of the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty, which is a great initiative and a pilot.

Gonggong Wei hoped that on the basis of this military and political training camp for eunuchs supervising the army, the military academy of the Ming Emperor's pro-army could be formally established, so as to cultivate the backbone of the Ming Imperial Army, strengthen the regularized military education of the Imperial Army, effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, and provide a steady stream of talents for the Ming Emperor's pro-army.

Therefore, although the military and political training camp for eunuchs in the supervision army is a grass creation and the scale is also very small, whether it is the school building or the teaching force, Gonggong Wei has invested huge resources. This can be seen from the fact that the training camp can accommodate 1,000 students at a time.

In view of the fact that the trainees were all transferred from various prisons, bureaus and departments of the inner court, and they had not been engaged in military work before, nor did they have any military combat experience, therefore, in addition to serving as the principal himself, Gonggong Wei also served as the director of education.

In addition to the traditional infantry drills, marching infantry and other courses, Wei Gonggong also set up courses such as astronomy and geography, Gezhi science, surveying, mapping and arithmetic, military command, staff operations, and intelligence analysis. All courses accumulate to one year, and at the end of the one-year period, students who pass all the examinations can be immediately assigned to various units of the Imperial Army to serve as eunuchs.

Considering that most of the trainees were illiterate, in the first three months of the training camp, in addition to basic military training such as horse drills, the main course was actually the popularization of cultural knowledge, that is, what Wei Gonggong called "literacy".

"Brothers are going to be overseers in the future, and this overseer is not something that anyone can do, at least, they must understand the military orders above and the official documents below, right? If the brothers can't read a single word, then how can they be passed down from above to the bottom and convince the troops? ”

In the first lesson, Gonggong Wei personally served as the main lecturer, and he earnestly warned the students not to think that they could be good eunuchs without knowing words and learning. This kind of eunuch supervising the army is not only extremely irresponsible to the imperial army, but also to the lives of soldiers.

"It's not a bad thing to know more words, which of those big people in our palace, those palm prints, and young eunuchs are illiterate? Illiterate and bitter, no matter how great your skills are, people can't look down on them. What if you don't like it? It's just that there is no future, that is, if you can't rise, you can't be a father-in-law. ”

"Our family organized you together, but not just let you be a supervisor for our family, we hope that you can all be promoted back to Beijing in the future, be a prisoner and be a young eunuch, and be a young eunuch and be a young eunuch, it is better to be a palm print, if you can enter the celebrant and become a father-in-law, then our family can wake up with a smile in our dreams."

Although in the first lesson, the father-in-law mainly taught the simple number writing of "one, two, three, four, five, six", but his simple and sincere words made the students realize the importance of literacy from their hearts.

In the words of Father-in-law Wei, why are all the good errands in the palace occupied by the people in the inner study hall, and everyone doesn't have that thing in their crotch, why are we inferior, begging for food under others, and looking at people's faces?

Yes, we used to be illiterate, so we deserved it!

But now that we have the opportunity to be literate, we have the opportunity to run errands for the emperor, and we have the opportunity to work hard, why can't we mix better than those who come out of the inner study hall!

After the first lecture, my father-in-law was still unsatisfied, looked at the students sitting in the classroom, and said earnestly: "Our family, is a poor person, I have picked up dung with our father when I was a child, picked up dog shit, and also went to the field to pick up firewood, so at that time, our family has developed a habit, that is, we can't rely on others for everything, we must rely on ourselves, and we must do everything ourselves, only in this way can we know whether this thing can be done, whether it is done right, whether it is good or not, if it is wrong, where is the mistake..."

My father-in-law preached again:

"We must not be divorced from the masses and forget where we come from. Don't think that the only clean people in this world are those who read, and the people who are officials are dirty. For example, the clothes of the scholars can be worn, but they think they are clean, but the people's clothes are not willing to be worn, because they are dirty. Don't have this kind of thought, once you have it, it's dangerous! Why is it dangerous? Because, if we don't correct our position and forget our origins, we will evolve into bad eunuchs in the eyes of the people step by step. ”

"In the future, when you are assigned to the troops, you will mingle with the officers and soldiers, and you will get acquainted with them and let them get acquainted with you. Don't put on a stand as a eunuch in the supervising army, just regard yourself as an ordinary member of the Ming Imperial Army, and treat the officers and soldiers as your own family, only then can this soldier be brought well, supervise the army!

Otherwise, once something happens, the officers and soldiers will abandon you, and if they don't abandon you, they will blame you, blame you for all kinds of defeats, and if you don't do it well, it will be a mutiny. What will be the consequences of the mutiny, damn it, it will lose its head, it will die! ”

“......”

Unconsciously, the father-in-law actually "delayed" the class for half an hour, and the people outside were so anxious that they couldn't do it, but the students inside didn't feel impatient at all, nor did they feel hungry, they only felt that Father-in-law Wei's speech was so real, and every sentence really touched their hearts. Especially Father-in-law Wei scolded "Niang Xipi" from time to time and said two sentences of "Mom, a", which makes people feel really cordial to listen.

Finally, near the end, Gonggong Wei suddenly asked people to take a "Complete Map of the World" drawn by the General Staff, he pointed to the emperor in the map and said to the students who were looking at it strangely:

"The world is very big, my emperor Ming only occupies a small part, our living space is very small, and many people will die when they encounter natural disasters...... Therefore, the purpose of our Ming Imperial Army is to lay a large enough land for the Emperor to feed our people, so that our children and grandchildren will never know what hunger is!

And you, as the future supervisor of the Ming Imperial Army, must keep one thing in mind, that is, the saber of our Ming Imperial Army will always be outward! ... We hope that each and every one of you can be a good supervisor of this army, be the guardian of the emperor, and fight for our country and our people! ”
