Chapter 340: Literacy Classes and Military Schools

If it was only for the training of officers, to be honest, his literacy classes were only for illiterate officers who had just been promoted, and there was no need to implement them throughout the army.

Since the whole army has implemented it, the purpose is to wait for these soldiers to retire and change jobs in the future, return to the local area to become staunch supporters of the Tang Dynasty, and drive the ordinary people to support the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, at present, the Tang Dynasty has used retired soldiers to maintain grassroots rule, and a considerable number of officials at the village and town level are retired soldiers.

Even the county patrol police bureau in the newly established county-level organization has a demobilized military officer as its director.

However, there are relatively few high-ranking officials, because it is the territory of civilian officials, and there are only a few positions of high-ranking officials in the three-county yamen prepared by the cabinet, and the cabinet itself is too little, so how can there be more than any redundant positions for demobilized military soldiers, so at present, the demobilized military personnel are generally limited to the two levels of towns and villages.

Literate soldiers are not only the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the new army of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but also the core pillar of the future Tang Dynasty's rule over the grassroots, so Li Xuan will naturally not slack off.

Since a literacy class had already been set up for illiterate officers who had been promoted, Li Xuan simply did not stop doing two things and directly expanded the scale of the literacy class, anyway, one teacher would teach twenty or thirty people, and fifty or sixty people would also teach.

So when the army began to recruit new recruits and expanded, and a large number of illiterate officers appeared, the literacy class of the Datang New Army was also in full swing, and the teachers in the literacy class were naturally not regular teachers, not even readers, they were all literate people in the army, including officers, clerks, and occasionally a few people from the cabinet.

It doesn't require you to have any advanced knowledge, as long as you can read and write, and it is enough to give people enlightenment.

The scale of the literacy classes is no longer as scattered as before, but is directly taught by the organization of the troops, and this lecture is the size of half a team or even a team.

Fortunately, the courses taught in the literacy class are very simple, that is, simple literacy and mathematics, in addition, depending on the teacher's personal ability, the strong ability will also say a little bit of astronomy and geography or something, if he himself is a half-ass, naturally there is no way to teach too much in the literacy class.

But it doesn't matter, this literacy class is just the most basic literacy and math course, and if you want to continue learning in the future, there is also a martial arts school.

Today's martial arts academy is also tending to be formal, and the enrollment is still directly for the whole army and even the social candidates, as long as they pass the basic cultural examination and pass the physical fitness, then they can be enrolled, and at the same time obtain the rank of warrant officer.

As soon as I entered the school, I was paid a salary, and although the salary was not much, it was no problem to make ends meet and drink a little wine occasionally.

There are not many courses in the martial arts school, on the one hand, there are cultural courses, including traditional Chinese studies, that is, the four books and five classics, and there are also mathematics, physics, chemistry, machinery and other most basic, and even common sense cultural courses, and professional courses are four major subjects: foot, artillery, riding, and heavy science.

The duration of study is relatively short, only three months, and students are recruited once a month. In the three-month school system, only the first month is purely theoretical study, and the second and third months are actually to serve as deputy platoon commanders in the army, which is said to be internship, but in fact, when it comes to fighting, it is no different from other officers.

At the end of the two-month internship period, they will be officially awarded the rank of second lieutenant after passing the examination, and most of them will serve as deputy platoon commander or platoon commander.

A small number of top-ranked students will enter the combat department or battalion headquarters or regiment headquarters as adjutants, combat staff officers, etc., and will also enter the imperial academy to continue their studies.

The school system of the Imperial Academy was not customized before, and now the latest regulation is one year, and Hao Bonian, as the students of the first phase of the Imperial Academy, has just graduated.

At the same time, in order to adapt to the rapid expansion of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, there are constantly people who need to enter the Imperial Academy to study, so the Imperial Academy recruits students once every three months, and each time it recruits about twenty or thirty students. , This situation is unlikely to change in the short term, and when the Datang New Army is on the right track in the future, it may be changed, but it will naturally not be now.

In addition to Li Xuan, the lecturers of the Imperial Academy have become the main force in Hao Bonian, Fang Xitong, Li Chunjing and other senior officers.

Although the scale is still very small and the strength is very weak, the military academy system of the Datang New Army has actually been established, and it will take time to develop and grow.

Just when Li Xuan was engaged in internal affairs in Xingquan Mansion, expanded the army, and even sent troops to attack Lianhe County and even the surrounding areas, a group of adults in Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, finally knew that there was a group of bold thieves in Xingquan Mansion, not only claiming the emperor's system, but also conquering Xingquan Mansion City.

It's a big deal!

The news of the fall of Xingquan Mansion spread almost as soon as it reached Guiyang, and it spread throughout the city overnight.

"Bastard, how did this Song Zhiwen do it, didn't he say that the pseudo-Tang thief army is just a group of mountain bandits and outcasts, even though it is a little tricky, but as long as the army arrives, it can be wiped out?" Guizhou Governor Zhu Zhihai's beard fluttered: "How can it be a month of hard work, this pseudo-Tang thief army has already captured Xingquan Mansion, and this official wants to join him ruthlessly!" ”

The governor of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, even if it was the political envoy standing below, the procurator of the punishment, and the commander of the envoy did not dare to say such a sentence when Zhu Zhihai was furious, for fear of annoying Zhu Zhihai, let him participate in a book, and the official hat would be gone.

In the Ming Dynasty, the governor started from scratch; from temporary dispatch to permanent officer; From the beginning of supervising taxes and grains, tending to the river, rectifying the border passes to controlling the three divisions, he held the power of civil affairs, military and politics; From the self-election of each ministry to the recommendation of the Jiuqing court, in the end, the governor of a province has become a real feudal history, and the weight of authority can almost protest with the Central Chamber, well, if this governor is brave enough to rebel.

Zhu Zhihai, as the governor of a province, from a second-grade high-ranking official, in this place in Guizhou, is definitely a soil emperor bigger than the sky, and this person is short-tempered, rarely talks to others, if it weren't for this stinky temper offended people, he was born as a first-class jinshi, and Qinggui Hanlin, who should have been raised in the Hanlin Academy, would not have been thrown into Guizhou ten years ago. ,

Therefore, whether it is an official in the civil and military terms, it will not end well if he is annoyed, because he has a bad temper, and more importantly, he can manage the civil and military affairs.

Today, I heard that the puppet Tang thief army captured Xingquan Mansion City, Zhu Zhihai was almost like thunder, whoever provoked him on this joint was unlucky!
