Xia Xue knows very well that in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, any army full of combat effectiveness must advocate honor and cherish honor. Therefore, in terms of the construction of the military system, in addition to the traditional military reward and punishment incentive methods such as clear rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds and rewards, in order to enhance the sense of honor of the soldiers of the Angel Country and reward the soldiers of the Angel Country for fighting bravely, Xia Xue specially designed and established a set of military merit and honor medal system with reference to later generations within the Angel Army.

Order of the Gold Star. This medal is the highest-ranking medal in the Angel Army. Awarded to those who have been particularly outstanding in battle, have made outstanding achievements, and have made significant contributions. The medal must be awarded to the recipient by the Queen herself. Those who have been awarded the Order of the Golden Star will enjoy a special pension of 100 taels of silver per month for life, and can ride military carriages, ships and other military vehicles free of charge in peacetime.

Silver Star Medal. Its rank is second only to the Order of the Gold Star. Awarded to those who are brave and tenacious in battle, have made remarkable achievements, and have made important contributions.

Order of the Bronze Star. Its rank is second only to the Silver Star. Awarded to those officers and men of the Angel Army who are brave and tenacious in battle, resolutely carry out orders, exemplary observance of battlefield discipline, and have outstanding achievements in completing combat tasks.

There is also a special medal, the Order of Hearts. Awarded to Angel Army soldiers who were wounded, killed, or died due to casualties while serving in the Angel Nation Army.

Li Jing, Qiu Ke and others also praised this novel Medal of Honor system. The introduction of the Military Merit Medal greatly stimulated the sense of honor, self-motivation and combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the Angel Army.

Li Jing was in charge of training soldiers, while Xia Xue was in charge of training generals. As soon as the generals were caught, the army was caught. This is not to say that Xia Xue is not at ease with Li Jing, but as a queen, she can't be as "stupid and sweet" as an ordinary girl, and the bloody lessons in history, such as "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" and "Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao Mutiny", make Xia Xue not so simple. Absolute control over the army was always the most important thing for the emperor. Second, Xia Xue knows the importance of the quality of an army general. Bing Yanyun, "One general is bad, and thousands of troops will die!" ”。“ A group of lions led by a sheep is no match for a group of sheep led by a lion".

Therefore, Xia Xue specially selected a place with beautiful scenery, vast and beautiful scenery and excellent colors in Changle County to build an angel military academy to cultivate the backbone talents and outstanding officers of the angel army.

The Angel Military Academy is not a military academy-style institution of higher learning, let alone a military research institution, but its characteristic is to train junior officers on the battlefield who can fight hard and withstand beatings.

The Angel Military Academy is mainly through rigorous field training to cultivate the character of a soldier - physical toughness, mental health, fearless of hardships and dangers, brave and tenacious, execute orders, and obey commands! In a word, it is to create iron-blooded soldiers who fight for the honor of the military academy and the interests of the country.

In the park-like military academy, more than a dozen school buildings are scattered throughout the campus with lush forests and grass, and the lawn larger than the polo field is a place for military cadets to practice and be reviewed.

There is a military museum on campus, which displays souvenirs of previous battles related to the Angel Kingdom; There is also a military library, which houses a large collection of books on military affairs.

After the establishment of the Angel Military Academy, it quickly became famous in the Angel Country, attracting a large number of outstanding young people to apply for the examination.

In order to make the training time more accurate, Xia Xue changed the ancient time and other timekeeping methods into the hours, minutes, and seconds of later generations in the military academy, and specially made a clock to hang outside the military academy training building. And teach some exquisite craftsmen to learn to make watches, clocks and other more sophisticated timekeeping tools, and reward outstanding graduates of the Angel Military Academy.

The Angel Military Academy is famous for its rigorous training and talent.

Another reason why Angel Military Academy is famous is that the enrollment is very strict: the age of application must be between 17 and 25 years old, and before taking the physical examination and examination, there must be a letter of recommendation from the main combat regular army or auxiliary reserve army and other relevant parties to ensure that the student is excellent in character and learning. Even if you enter through some channel, without a strong physique, a strong will, and a brilliant mind, it will be difficult for you to withstand the heavy homework and the brutal training of the beast camp, and the elimination rate is very high.

Semester year, "that is a comprehensive test of the good quality of life," many of the cadets who have graduated later are still in love with the Angel Military Academy, they are not without pride to say, "The Angel Military Academy recruits 200 cadets every year, and the applicants often reach thirty or forty thousand, one out of a hundred, without going through the fierce competition examination, even holding the Queen's letter of recommendation is useless, their own quality is not prepared, even if they enter the school, it is equivalent to living a crime, there is no music, no wine, no leisure, 10 courses, there must be 8 courses in good or above; At three o'clock in the morning, when you are sleeping like mud, the whistle blows, and you have to run to the playground in two minutes; Meals must be eaten in an upright position and must be eaten within 5 minutes. It is full of reprimands, commands, harshness, coldness, and no mercy or tenderness. …… There is discipline, punishment, coercion, obedience and responsibility, there is no such thing as personal freedom! All trainees had to undergo rigorous camping training, and in the jungles and swamps of Fujian, you had to endure rare human suffering, including hunting, torture, starvation, including physical humiliation, as cruel as torture. When you are tortured to the point that you are not human and walk out of the jungle, the suffering of the world is regarded as idleness. You are the King Kong that is struck by the fire and the hammer! It's true that in order to improve your ability to fight and survive, you must first transform into a ferocious beast, and then into a soldier, an officer, a general, or a commander. …… So the cadets who went out of the Angel Military Academy were all genuine, and there was not a single pustule. ……”

"Meng Ke once said: 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ……”

Xia Xue knows very well that "hardships and hardships lead to success", only hard training can stimulate and enhance the potential of human beings, and only strict, formal and professional training can cultivate and create excellent and qualified soldiers and generals. And these elite cadets who graduated from the Angel Military Academy will become the backbone of the Angel Army in the future, loyal to the Queen, loyal to the country, and leading the Angel Army to conquer all battles.

……

Xia Xue used her own smelting and forging methods to create a batch of more sophisticated weapons for her angel army, including the Mo knife that can split people in half, the shield knife that can both attack and defensive, the triangular spear that can pierce armor, and the new bow crossbow that combines recurve bow and compound bow technology to strengthen the longer range, faster speed, and stronger armor piercing. The black-clothed guards and the few cavalrymen were all equipped with sharper and more flexible Tang swords.

The angel army trained by Li Jing with strict military discipline and the new sophisticated weapons provided by Xia Xue were simply bursting with combat effectiveness, and in the following month, dozens of villages, towns, forts, and small county towns around Minzhou (later Fuzhou) were all taken, and the territory was several times larger than that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the manpower was also increased several times.

However, Xia Xue and Li Jing still adopted the idea of elite soldiers, and the main force of the Angel Army basically remained at about 10,000 people, without increasing. Assign other new soldiers to auxiliary legions. If you want to enter and stay in the main army of angels, you must be one in a hundred, brave in battle, disciplined, and united, otherwise, you will enter the main army, and then you may be cleared out. Therefore, entering the main legion, not only is it well-equipped, its combat effectiveness is bursting, but it also has a loud name, a unique face, and it is also better than the treatment of the auxiliary legion in terms of treatment, so everyone is secretly working hard, those who have joined strive to stay in the main legion, and those who have not joined strive to be admitted to the main army as soon as possible.

In order to prevent the aging of the main angel army, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, and to solve the worries of the officers and soldiers of the main angel army; Breaking the outdated thinking of "a good man should not be a soldier" in ancient times, and establishing new concepts such as "a good man should be a soldier", "a soldier is glorious", "being a soldier has a future", "a soldier is the guardian of a better life", "fighting on the battlefield, the true character of a man", and in order to improve the social status of the soldiers of the Angel Country, Xia Xue stipulated: The maximum age for senior generals of the main army can be relaxed to 55 years old; The maximum age of service for generals below the intermediate level can be relaxed to 40 years old; The maximum age of service for ordinary soldiers can only be relaxed to 35 years old, and if the age reaches the maximum service age, they must be discharged. However, as long as they perform well in the main army, whether they are generals or soldiers, the treatment of retirement is very high, and they not only have generous economic compensation and land compensation, but also can be arranged to work in government departments and state-owned enterprises. If you are injured and disabled, or if you die in battle, then you will be awarded at least the Order of the Heart, and the disabled can receive a high disability grant and land compensation, and priority will be given to work; The families of those who died in action receive high martyrs' pensions and land compensation, and their children are given priority in work. It can be said that as long as you enter the main army of angels and perform well and fight bravely, then you don't have to worry about the future, and there are basically no worries. Therefore, all the angel officers and soldiers are secretly working hard, and those who have joined are vying to be excellent, ensuring that they continue to stay in the main legion; Those who have not yet joined, work hard to be admitted to the main army as soon as possible. The entire Angel Army is full of enthusiasm and vigor for the top position.

Minzhou City was the largest city in Fujian, and it was also the city with the largest number of garrisons and the most heavily defended city of the Sui army, and Xia Xue later renamed it "Fuzhou" in later generations.

Now the suburbs of Minzhou City have all been controlled by the Xia Xue Angel Army, and it has become a besieged lonely city. However, in order to avoid excessive casualties, and in order not to destroy this city, which may be the capital of the Angel Kingdom in the future, Xia Xue did not order an attack on Minzhou City, but adopted a siege strategy, except for changing its name from Minzhou to the more auspicious Fuzhou.

For the territory that has been occupied, in addition to stationing a small number of auxiliary troops to defend, Xia Xue selects people with high prestige, good character, and education from the local area to serve as officials in the territory, and carries out administrative, judicial, and civil affairs management to ensure social stability and order.
