Chapter 478: Military Academy
After the officers and men of each army finished the review, Liu Juntao made appointments with the generals of each army one after another, and instructed everyone to pay attention to stabilizing the morale of the troops after they returned, and completely suppressed the chaos such as brawls among the generals through the rings in the military camps, and guided the officers and men of all armies to fight openly and privately.
After the generals of the various armies returned to their garrisons one after another, Liu Juntao began to deploy his next plan, that is, to prepare for the establishment of a military academy.
Long before going north to Datong Town to resist the Warat army, Liu Juntao had this plan, but he never had his hands free to implement it.
Although the combat power of the Tiance Army is already very strong, the generals of all armies have basically grown up in actual combat, and almost no one has studied it systematically, so this is not a long-term solution.
Now a complete set of school systems have been established in various parts of Shandong Town, and the school-age people in various places can enroll in schools in various prefectures and counties, and step by step upward entrance examinations, and after graduation, they can obtain a livelihood in various industries in Shandong Town according to their learning situation.
Moreover, in addition to the ordinary schools that teach literacy, the Four Books and the Five Classics, there are also a large number of specialized schools, such as mining schools, commercial schools, agricultural schools, and so on.
Among so many schools, there is no military school.
Therefore, Liu Juntao summoned Lan Siqi, Minister of the Central Committee, Tang Yu, Minister of Commerce, and Guo Yongzhong, Minister of Civil Affairs, to discuss the establishment of a military academy system.
Lan Siqi, Tang Yu, and Guo Yongzhong agreed very much with the proposal to establish a military academy, and they made suggestions one after another.
Lan Siqi believes that the knowledge taught in the military academy should be based on the experience of the Tiance Army in the past, and these experiences are all exchanged for the blood of the soldiers of the Tiance Army, so they should not be spread out arbitrarily, and can only be taught to people in the Shandong town system, specifically the generals at all levels of the Tiance Army.
Therefore, Lan Siqi proposed that the number of military schools should not be too much, and it is not possible to establish corresponding schools in each county and prefecture like ordinary schools, but only two in Yushan Town and Jinan Fucheng, and at most some preparatory schools can be established in various prefectures and cities.
However, Guo Yongzhong, Minister of Civil Affairs, did not think so, but put forward a proposal of "participation of the whole people".
Guo Yongzhong believes that the people in Shandong are now very supportive of the Tiance Army and Shandong Town, and many people are willing to enter the system of Shandong Town.
Therefore, Guo Yongzhong proposed that if this military academy is established, it should include all capable people from the civilian sector, and follow the example of civilian schools, establish grassroots military academies in all counties and prefectures, and then establish two higher military academies in Jinan Fucheng and Yushan Town.
Capable people and ordinary people pass examinations and inspections to enter the military academies of various counties and prefectures, and after graduation, they can enter the higher military academies in Yushan Town and Jinan Fucheng.
The generals of the Tiance Army passed the unified examination, and those who passed could directly enter the higher military schools in Yushan Town and Jinan Fucheng.
After Guo Yongzhong and Lan Siqi finished speaking, Tang Yu also said his thoughts.
In fact, for Tang Yu, he still prefers the plan proposed by Guo Yongzhong, but the plan proposed by Guo Yongzhong costs a lot of money, and the manpower, material resources and time required to establish it are far greater than the plan proposed by Lan Siqi.
After everyone finished speaking, Liu Juntao also nodded, in fact, the plan proposed by Guo Yongzhong was more in line with Liu Juntao's case.
However, Lan Siqi's plan is also very reasonable, so even if it is like a civilian school to promote military academies in various prefectures and counties in Shandong, it should also be inclined to the generals of the Tiance Army, or the personnel of the internal system of Shandong Town.
So, Liu Juntao said: "Before deciding on the plan, we must first determine what the purpose of establishing a military academy is. ”
"What is the purpose?"
All three of them pondered.
"The purpose of establishing a military academy in Shandong Town is to train qualified generals and available talents for the Tiance Army, ensure the steady improvement of the combat power of the Tiance Army, and cultivate more and stronger talents for our Shandong Town!"
Everyone nodded frequently.
"Since this is the purpose, the number of people entering the military academy should be as large as possible, as long as they have the heart to enter our Shandong Town, as long as they have the courage to join the army, we should give them the opportunity to learn!"
When Lan Siqi and Guo Yongzhong heard this, they were thoughtful.
Tang Yu said: "What does the town mean to take Minister Guo's plan? ”
Liu Juntao said: "Not quite! The town decided to adopt Minister Guo's suggestion to establish junior military academies in various prefectures and counties, mainly for aspiring people with lofty ideals in Shandong, as well as soldiers from all departments of our Tiance Army. ”
"These grassroots military academies are different from the training camps in various places, not only to train civilian fighters and soldiers of various departments, but to teach basic military knowledge and literacy to everyone; The duration of study at these grassroots military academies is one year. ”
After a year, the civilian aspirants and soldiers of various ministries who passed the examination were able to enter the senior military academies in the capital city of Jinan and the town of Yushan, where they began to teach real command strategies and a series of general qualities. The duration of study at the Higher Military Academy is one year. ”
"After graduating from the senior military academy through the examination, the civilian aspirants will have the position of sentry commander, and the generals of the Tiance Army will be promoted to the first level!"
"Of course, in the list of cadets recruited by military academies at all levels, it should be tilted towards the generals of all departments of the Tiance Army, and the approximate proportion should be three or seven!"
The three of them were all lost in thought when they heard this.
Then, Tang Yu first said: "Zongzhen, if it is implemented according to this plan, the financial resources of the Ministry of Commerce are somewhat urgent, and it can only be implemented step by step. In the view of humble duties, junior military academies were established in various counties one after another, and then senior military academies were established in Jinan Fucheng and Yushan Town. ”
Liu Juntao immediately recognized and said: "Among the senior military schools, in addition to Jinan Fucheng and Yushan Town, another senior military academy will be established in Andongwei to train naval generals and talents. ”
Lan Siqi continued: "General Town, for the people with lofty ideals, I think that the inspection department and the intelligence department should conduct a joint audit, and only those who have passed the audit can enter the military academy to study. ”
"This is the right solution!"
This is the political trial of later generations, which is also necessary, after all, if you want to enter the Tiance Army and become a general at all levels, the review of your identity must be strict.
In the end, Guo Yongzhong said: "According to the plan of the general town, we will have three higher military schools in Shandong Town. ”
Liu Juntao nodded and said, "That's right!" And the names of these three higher military schools have also been thought of in this town: the two higher military schools in Jinan Fucheng and Yushan Town are called Wulietang, that is, Wulietang in Jinan Mansion and Wulietang in Yushan Town! ”
"After the completion of the Wulietang, the generals of all departments of the army must go to the Wulietang for further study, and they must pass the graduation exam, otherwise no matter how great the combat achievements are in the future, as long as they do not have the graduation certificate of the Wulietang, they will not be promoted!"
"At the same time, the generals of all armies should be inspected by Master Wu Lietang, and the literacy rate of the officers and men of all armies should be checked at any time, and those who fail to pass the test will be punished."
Liu Juntao wants to comprehensively improve the knowledge level of the soldiers through this move, only in this way can the soldiers better understand what they are fighting for, which is also the difference between the modern army and the feudal army.
"As for the Navy Higher Military Academy to be established in Andong Wei, it is called Andong Wei Bibo Hall, and all the generals of the Navy on Dongping Island must take turns to study, and those who cannot graduate will not be promoted!"
At this time, Lan Siqi remembered something and asked, "Zongzhen, how to compile the textbooks of this military academy?" It is better to discuss with Deputy General Hu and the minister. ”
The textbooks of military schools are different from those of ordinary schools, they must be rigorous and usable, and there must be no omissions, otherwise once the generals at all levels have completed their studies, they will use the wrong skills on the battlefield at that time, but they will be defeated and bloody, so Lan Siqi will have this question.
Liu Juntao has also thought about this and said: "The textbooks of the military academy are divided into two parts, the textbooks of the junior military academy can be prepared by the research and development department of the military department and the copywriting department of the central department, and after the compilation is completed, it will be submitted to the deputy general army for review and approval. ”
"As for the teaching materials of the three martial arts halls, the town will personally write the outline, and then submit it to the Copywriting Department of the Central Department for combing."
"This town will also fill in the successful examples of our Tiance Army's previous fierce battles and the successful experience accumulated, as the valuable experience of our Tiance Army will continue in the military academy system!"
