The students of the lecture hall sat down to rest on both sides of the market town, everyone ate some dry food, drank some water, and even spoke to each other softly, without disturbing the people at all.

Li Zhongyi nodded with satisfaction, this is the model army he has worked hard to build, good!

One set in front of the face, and one set behind the back, no matter who it is, they definitely don't like it, and Li Zhongyi is even more so!

Luo Changgang personally led this year's students to Luoyang, hundreds of miles away, for field training, and Li Zhongyi happened to be in Zhengzhou, so he took the opportunity to take a look at these students and Luo Changgang's true face in private.

As the king of a country, Li Zhongyi is surrounded by rhetoric all day long, and after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be hot-headed.

In order to avoid decision-making errors caused by hot-headedness, Li Zhongyi needs to grasp first-hand information, and it is imperative to conduct private interviews with microservices.

An exemplary army not only needs to have amazing combat effectiveness, but also knows how to love the people!

The students who study in the lecture hall are all officers or reserve officers, and from them they start to be subtly cultivated, and the soldiers under their command will also be greatly affected in the future.

In any army, the junior officer corps is an extremely important existence. If the soldier is the branch and leaf, then the officer corps is the trunk of the tree, and the lecture hall is the root.

Li Zhongyi sat in the teahouse for about two hours, and he witnessed with his own eyes that the students of the martial arts hall did not enter the market in a procession until the crowd in the market gradually became scarce.

Near the bazaar, near the direction of Zhengzhou, there is a military station. The military station is Li Zhongyi's initiative, and every state has at least one large military station. The purpose of the military station is mainly to accommodate or transfer officers and soldiers urgently recruited from nearby states and counties.

Li Zhongyi pursued a policy of elite soldiers, and the total number of elite forbidden troops raised by the imperial court did not exceed 300,000. In case of emergency, the soldiers of the township army and the box army of each prefecture and county were summoned through the transfer order of the General Staff Department.

In a small-scale peasant society, the speed of national defense mobilization in the face of foreign enemies was surprisingly slow due to the rulers' mentality of guarding against rebellion.

National defense mobilization includes not only the mobilization of grassroots soldiers, but also the concentration of materials, equipment, and food.

With the help of the inspection system of the village, the pavilion and the state and county inspection system, the Li family's strong Han Dynasty's control over the grassroots was far better than that of previous dynasties.

For the time being, effective national defense mobilization can be carried out wherever there is a transfer to the village, that is, the areas under the direct control of the imperial court.

After Luo Changgang led the students of the martial arts hall to leave the bazaar, Li Zhongyi slowly got up and went downstairs with a relaxed expression.

On the way back to Zhengzhou, Li Zhongyi leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully pondered another important matter, that is, the setting of the juvenile martial arts hall.

In the final analysis, this is inextricably linked with the emphasis on literature and light on military force in peacetime.

According to Li Zhongyi's concept, in the future, if he conquers Annam and other big granaries of the Indochina Peninsula, he will start to popularize primary and secondary education.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, no matter in which era, talent will always be in the first place!

The talent training mechanism is obviously pyramid-shaped, and the higher you go, the fewer elite talents there are.

At present, due to the lack of limited national strength, Li Zhongyi has no conditions for the time being to popularize the nine-year compulsory education for the whole people, but he can set up hundreds of juvenile martial arts halls in hundreds of military states across the country and select qualified juveniles to study in military academies.

The system of junior military schools is most prevalent in Europe, especially Lao Maozi in the north, whose military school system is spread throughout the state and union republics of the country.

The prosperity of military talents has given Lao Maozi the foundation of military statehood, which is also the basis for Lao Maozi's repeated appearance of famous generals, for example, famous generals in history, such as Suvonov, Kutuzov and Zhukov.

According to the laws of history, as long as the period of peace of the agrarian nation exceeds 50 years, the idea of emphasizing literature over military force and using literature to control military force will rise rapidly, so that at the end of the imperial dynasty, there will be no generals.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Li Zhongyi deliberately put the military machinery of the empire in a position not affected by the Wenchen group, just to avoid the absurd phenomenon of Wenchen leading the army.

Of course, in peacetime, the struggle between the Wenchen and the military generals often ended in the victory of the Wenchen group.

Among them, the most famous example is the Tumubao Rebellion during the Ming Dynasty.

In the process of the change of Tumubao, the Wenchen Group turned over to the clouds and added fuel to the rain, which was likely to play an extremely negative role.

Li Zhongyi has already thought about the fact that a juvenile martial arts hall will be set up in every prefecture, and the curriculum will be arranged to learn culture in the morning and conduct military training in the afternoon.

The reason for this arrangement, Li Zhongyi actually considered it very far-reaching. After graduating from the military, young cadets who have both civil and military studies can enter the military and political academies for further study, in addition to the way out of entering the army as midshipmen.

Different from the pure military training of the martial arts hall, the military and political academy mainly cultivates talents who are excellent in both military and political affairs, and focuses on politics.

The cultivation of descendants, the so-called protégés of the Son of Heaven, has always been the foundation for Li Zhongyi to master major policies.

After returning to Zhengzhou, Li Zhongyi has been staying in the Commander's Mansion, dealing with the military and political affairs at hand, while closely watching the changes in the situation in Kaifeng.

According to the information handed over by several intelligence sources, with Kong Kun's demotion and the Wenchen clique, which planned to make trouble, there were obviously major differences.

Among the Wenchen clique, some people advocate that we should take a long-term view and not engage in the game of seizing the day. After all, Li Zhongyi is not an emperor of the light pole, but a commander with hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

It's just that the opinions of this faction clearly do not prevail. Because, too, the opposition has a very good reason.

The answer is actually very simple, Li Zhongyi's sons did not invite famous teachers of Confucianism. In other words, the possibility of the Confucian clique with vested interests to influence the princes has been greatly weakened.

To put it bluntly, with the characteristics of scholars who do not seek a moment, if the princes all invite Confucian masters, they will not have the courage to compete with Li Zhongyi for a while.

However, the readers see it very clearly. If the princes of this dynasty had continued the tradition of not inviting Confucian masters, then the basic national policy of respecting Confucianism would sooner or later become a joke.

For thousands of years, Confucianism has become a tacit understanding between rulers and scholars, that is, the basis for scholars to support rulers is to reuse only Confucian disciples.

That is the so-called sharing the world with the scholars!

However, Li Zhongyi does not eat this set, his logic is to share the world with people of insight all over the world!
