Once you've decided on your goals, the rest of the story is relatively simpler.

However, it involves tens of thousands of people, so it is still a lot busier.

First, they went through the formalities of retirement, that is, the Ministry of War filed with them, issued a certificate of retirement, and then they could wait to receive the money and leave.

Then there is the procedure for staying, which is relatively more troublesome, because it involves issues such as awarding titles.

But after investing a lot of manpower and material resources, in the twenty days before the New Year's Day, all the affairs of these tens of thousands of people were solved.

Although there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to return home for the Chinese New Year, at least most people are fine.

Tens of thousands of people were promoted to the rank of sergeant all of a sudden, and it was naturally impossible to place them together as before.

These are people who have been involved in recent wars, and while some may not be well suited to being a captain, at least their combat experience can help most people.

This is not to say that those units that did not participate in the battle are inferior to their people in terms of personal ability.

It's because this war has actually changed dramatically.

In other words, the experience accumulated by the expeditionary force on the battlefield this time is exactly what other troops are short of.

It may not be long before this experience is obsolete, but the army is no different from the Academy of Sciences, it is a place where you must always be vigilant and do everything you can to improve yourself.

So continuous learning, continuous creation, and continuous elimination are basically the same in these two places.

The soldiers went home, but the officers above the rank of the team stayed.

For where their men will go will be determined by them.

Therefore, this year is destined to be impossible for them to be idle.

And what they need to face is a piece of cold information, which is full of information about every soldier, every gang commander, team commander, special skills and other information.

What each team needs to do is to classify the soldiers below them according to the requirements of their superiors, and put the information into which type of person they have, so as to facilitate the subsequent distribution and management.

Of course, it is obviously difficult to rely on these people to complete such a huge work.

As a result, those military cadets who were temporary workers once again became a brick.

More than 100 people are scattered in various places, and one person needs to be responsible for the information of an average of twenty or thirty teams, and in addition to collecting, it is also necessary to screen to prevent problems such as data archiving errors.

As for why these cadets were chosen to do these things, the reason is simple.

In the words of later generations, these are all highly educated talents, and compared to those who have to stammer even to read a letter, it has become the norm for these military cadets to export chapters.

In addition, this is the first batch of military cadets recruited from the civilian population, and they are destined to be one step ahead from the moment they graduate.

Li Yuanji didn't want to smash his signboard, so the only thing he could do was to open a small stove for these military cadets as much as possible, so that they could have more contact and learn more, and when they arrived in the army, the only thing they lacked was actual combat experience.

Only in this way can we ensure the gold content of military cadets and ensure that more talents can be promoted through this channel.

And this is also a means of maintaining imperial power.

Qiu He handed over the information to Xue Rengui, the military cadet in charge of them, and according to the plan, after their teams completed the data consolidation, they could move freely in Chang'an, and only after the cadets confirmed that the information was correct, they could go home on vacation.

Qiu He is a person near Chang'an, so he is more urgent to go home, after all, he has not been home for nearly five years, what is the family like now? I don't know anything about it.

But compared to going home, Qiu He also attaches great importance to the question of the whereabouts of his subordinates.

His own team was full of 56 people, and only 41 people returned to Chang'an after the war, and 22 people chose to leave, that is to say, including himself, there were only 19 people left in his team.

There were seven gang commanders, three platoon commanders, eight soldiers, and one squad leader of his own.

A good end of the troops, with their own troops for five years, just dispersed.

It is false to say that there is no emotion, even if you stay with a grass and tree for five years, you will not have any feelings.

"Do you know where we're going?" Perhaps realizing that it was impossible for them to continue to stay together, Qiu He asked a little sadly.

"Report sir, I don't know!" Xue Rengui shook his head, and responded according to the military regulations, he is a student, except for the fact that he doesn't need to call the commander when he sees the soldiers, and now he has to call the commander when he sees him, but he sees Qiu He's face a little sad, although he doesn't know the result, but Xue Rengui still can't bear to see the other party's appearance, and after thinking about it, he can only tell him what he knows: "Sir, what I know is that these people will be dispersed to various units stationed in Datang according to the needs of each unit, and the lowest of them will be the deputy commander, Everyone will basically move up one or a half level from their existing level. ”

"Thank you!" Qiu He nodded.

This is the general trend, and it is not something he can stop alone, and upgrading the level, for them, this may already be a good treatment, right?

Deputy Guy? Before that, there was no such position in the army, even if there was a problem with the gang commander, it was a temporary acting gang leader position from the two army commanders, and a deputy gang commander was set up, so he could directly replace the gang commander and was the first choice for the gang commander.

For ordinary soldiers, this is a small step, bypassing the position of captain.

Of course, what Qiu He didn't know was that after the New Year, the position of Wu Commander would be revoked, and this position no longer met the needs of the modern army, so it could only be eliminated.

"You entered the military academy through the scientific examination?" His subordinates finally have a way out, and Qiu He also has a lot of interest in military cadets.

Because there was a guy Li Si in his team, he was stuck in the final selection, so he was not able to enter the military academy for further study, but he did not regret it.

The only pity is that what makes me scold is that Li Si chose to leave, which he didn't expect and regret.

"Yes, sir!" Anyway, it's not too busy now, Xue Rengui also chatted with the other party, and he also wants to know more about the things on the front line, although now is not the time.

"What subjects did you all take?" Hearing that it was really similar to what he heard, Qiu He was a little disdainful.

Is it ironic that a person who has made military achievements cannot enter the military academy for other reasons, but these people who have no military merits can enter the military academy through scientific examinations?

He asked with some unhappiness in his heart, he wanted to see what these people who entered the military academy through the imperial examination were capable of?

"Sir, there are many subjects in the exam, but they are generally divided into three categories, the first is physical fitness, the second is theory, and the third is practical." Xue Rengui roughly explained the subjects he had taken the exam for, but after seeing Qiu He's puzzled expression, he could only continue to explain in depth: "Physical fitness is weight-bearing cross-country, a distance of ten miles, and the time is slightly longer than that in the army, but it is not too long."

Only after passing the physical fitness test can you be eligible to enter the next round of the exam, which involves a lot of theoretical aspects, such as the opinion of the army and war, delineating a goal, giving you the strength of a team, and how to complete the specified tasks within a limited time. If you need to fight on a large scale, as a team leader, how will you do it, and then there are a lot of questions that may arise in the army, such as conflicts between soldiers, morale and other issues, which must be answered in detail.

After passing the second subject, there is a practical test, and each person is assigned fifty soldiers and five gang commanders, and each of these people is the team leader, and then there are three subjects, training, independent tasks, and collaborative tasks.

According to the data released by the school, there were more than 30,000 applicants, but in the end, only one hundred and seven people passed the assessment three times, most of them passed the first subject, about sixty percent of the people were eliminated by the second subject, and forty percent of the people were eliminated by the third subject. ”

Qiu He frowned slightly, the situation was obviously more than what he heard.

The second subject lists how to deal with various problems, and these candidates, who are almost literati, have a natural advantage in this regard, but in fact, the real killer should be the third subject.

Because no matter how good the theory is, it may not be able to stay calm in practice, and the content of the second subject exam will inevitably appear in the third subject, and only one hundred and seven people will be eliminated from more than 30,000 people, and the ultra-high elimination rate also indicates that this problem is not simple.

Qiu He couldn't help but secretly think, if it was him, how much could he do when he encountered those problems in the second subject?

But soon Qiu He had the answer, he has been a team leader for ten years, and he has no problem in terms of experience, but the biggest problem is that he may be a little tricky when dealing with these emergencies.

The third subject tests whether a person deliberately keeps calm at critical moments and makes the right choices in the shortest possible time to minimize losses.

This subject is too difficult for candidates who do not have any military career.

But in this way, there are more than 100 people standing out of the encirclement, which makes Qiu He not only a little surprised, but also Qiu He sees another possibility.

Therefore, all the tests are based on the team as the core, and the team is the lowest level of officer, an officer, not a sergeant, not a soldier.

In other words, as long as these people graduate, at least the team is starting.

Think about yourself, after so many years, they have only just mixed into the position of team leader, and what about them? The four-year military academy career can be worth the hard work of many of them for most of their lives.

Not to mention Su Dingfang's perversion, how many people are there?
