This time at the full moon banquet, none of the civil and military officials brought expensive gifts, they were all some pianos, chess, calligraphy, paintings and toys and other things, Jiang Sheng was very satisfied after receiving it, so he attended the full moon banquet and toasted to all the civil and military officials.

The Jizhou civil and military officials who went to the banquet gathered together, Jiang Sheng raised his glass to toast everyone, after Jiang Sheng finished toasting, the full hall of civil and military began to drink with each other, and drank happily, from noon to evening, fortunately, these wines provided by Jiang Sheng are all rice wines with a relatively low degree, but they are all drunk crookedly.

Jiang Sheng asked Zhou Cang to prepare a small gift bag, and each guest received one when they said goodbye, which made everyone feel incredible.

According to their official routine, this kind of banquet is a good opportunity to collect money, but Jiang Sheng not only does not collect money, but also gives gifts to the guests, which is also unprecedented. Since then, Jiang Sheng's reputation for honesty has reached the world.

On the eighth day of February in the fourth year of Chuping (193), Jiang Sheng inspected the training base outside Yecheng, and Xu Huang, as the general person in charge of the training base, led the people to greet him.

After the fall of Gongsun Zhan, Gao Lan and Tian Yu each led some soldiers and horses to stay in their respective jurisdictions, and Xu Rong, Wei Xu, and Song Xian each led 30,000 troops in Guangchang, Tang County, and Gaoyang counties, which happened to form a line at the junction of Zhuo County and Jizhou, and strictly guarded against Liu Yu's army, and Chu Yan and Wupa led the army back to the grassland.

Zhang Liao gathered soldiers and horses from all over the north of Jizhou, a total of 100,000 troops, and returned to Yecheng; After Yu Ban withdrew to Bohai, he was also recalled to Yecheng by Jiang Sheng.

Now the number of troops stationed around Yecheng has reached 180,000, of which half are cavalry. In this era, the cavalry is the king of land warfare, and if there are 20,000 cavalry under the command of the princes of all walks of life, they are already local tyrants, even the powerful Cao Cao and Xiliang, which are only about 30,000 cavalry, and Jiang Sheng has 90,000 cavalry in Jizhou, not counting the 60,000 iron cavalry on the grassland and the 10,000 cavalry under the command of Tian Yu.

The intensive training work of the training base is still going on in an orderly manner, and after Jiang Sheng learned about the current situation of the training base, he made an important decision: to establish a military academy!

Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Fu Zhu, Liu Hong, and others were summoned to the training base to participate in the discussion.

Jiang Sheng said: "At present, our army is all over Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Saiwai, and has the ability to fight in large corps, but generals at all levels are fighting with experience, and the soldiers are only relying on a momentum and brute force when fighting, and the key to victory or defeat in the battle is the main general. However, the current training mechanism can no longer meet the needs of our army, so I have decided to establish the Dahan Military Academy on the basis of the training base. If you have any good ideas, just let me know. ”

Everyone had never heard of the term military academy, but they probably understood what Jiang Sheng meant.

Xu Huang said: "As far as I know, many low-level officers are illiterate, and they rely on oral orders in operational command. ”

Liu Hong, who has been running a school for many years, agreed with Xu Huang's proposal, and said: "Although I did not participate in military operations, judging from the feedback from the subordinate officials of the prefectures who graduated from the school, the most efficient way to transmit orders is still writing. ”

Zhang Liao suggested: "At present, some of the soldiers and horses under our command are veterans who have followed the lord for many years, and the combat is quite disciplined, but most of them are newly recruited or surrendered, and the tactical skills are uneven, and there will be a disconnect in command and coordination. ”

Everyone also spoke enthusiastically and discussed for a whole day, and the conclusion basically had three contents: first, to cultivate tactical strategists, similar to the combat staff officers of later generations; The second is the issue of recruit training, and all the officers and men who are newly recruited under Jiang Sheng's command must be trained in basic cultural physical fitness and basic skills; The third is special training and coordinated training for various arms.

Jiang Sheng was secretly surprised by everyone's speeches, he didn't expect that people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty could also think of something similar to later generations, Jiang Sheng was going to explain these advanced concepts to everyone, but he didn't expect everyone to think of these things more or less.

Jiang Sheng said: "You are ahead of your thinking, to my surprise, I have drafted a plan for the establishment of a military academy, you can take it back, study it carefully, put forward suggestions for revision, and then we will discuss it again to ensure that there are no problems, and start construction." Wen Ruo, the construction academy needs a lot of building materials and workers, and you have to carry out this work in advance and prepare materials. ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, please rest assured, I will arrange it." ”

Five days later, Jiang Sheng convened everyone again to summarize their opinions and discuss the preparation plan, and finally determined, Xun Yu and Zhang Shu studied and formulated the architectural plan according to Jiang Sheng's ideas in addition to the preparation plan of the college.

The Dahan Military Academy is about 58 miles northeast of Yecheng, covering an area of more than 7,500 acres, with a variety of different terrains within the range, suitable for all arms to carry out training, and the northwest is a mountainous area.

The eastern part is the living area of the students, including dormitories, canteens, agricultural and sideline production bases, leisure and entertainment venues, and supply warehouses.

The central area is the office and teaching area of the college, which is the place where the military academy carries out theoretical teaching, and is also the command center of the whole college.

The southern area is the barracks and gate area of the Academy's guard troops. Within 100 meters of the left and right sides of the gate area is the warning area, guarding the gate, and then extending to both sides, it is the barracks and weapons and equipment warehouses of the guard troops, the west and east are the smelting workshop and the raw material warehouse respectively, the west workshop mainly produces weapons, steel and arrows and other consumables, and the east workshop mainly produces armor, saddles and long-range weapon parts.

In the periphery of the whole college, a city wall of about 18 meters high, 12 meters wide at the top and 14 meters wide at the bottom is set up, and the two ends have been built to the foot of the northwest mountain, with a total length of about 10 kilometers, a city tower is set up every 500 meters, and arrow towers are set up between the city towers and at the corners of the city wall, and the battlements and crossbows and trebuchets are set up on the outside of the top of the city wall, all of which are protected by steel plates.

A five-meter-wide mountain road was built from the academy to the northwest summit, on which fortifications and weapons warehouses were set up and guarded by troops.

The whole construction plan is large-scale and well-defended, and it is simply a super-large castle! Seeing this amount of work, Xun Yu felt very difficult, so he had to ask Jiang Sheng for help.
