The military has always been a place of seniority, whether it was before, now, or in the future.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were constant wars, almost decades of troubled times, not to mention those generals and captains, that is, a team leader, a team leader, a team leader, a military commander, which one has no military merits?

Indeed, there are many people who have only risen through the ranks by virtue of their military exploits, and their own strength is actually not qualified for this position.

The two positions of captain and team leader are slightly better, but the position of team leader is particularly important.

Because military tasks are team-to-team coordination, teams need to control the entire team, unite friendly forces to attack, retreat, carry out orders, and so on.

However, due to their own lack of ability, many people are not up to the task.

Before the reform of the military system, the main task of the team is to take the lead, and every time there is a big war, the team must rush to the front, guide the direction of the whole team, and establish confidence.

And the real command task fell on the brigade commander.

In other words, before the reform of the military system, although the team was an officer and enjoyed the qualification of being equipped with labor, in fact, the lowest level commander was actually the brigade commander.

If it is said that the promotion of the team commander can also rely on the merits of the team, then the promotion of the team to the brigade commander cannot rely on just the merits, which is also the reason why many veterans with rich combat experience and experience in a hundred battles are still only the reason why they are still only the team leaders after many years of struggle in the position of the team leader.

Because of the lack of ability, most of the rewards for them are money and goods, and it is basically impossible to promote them in their positions, and putting them in the position of brigade commander can only push a brigade of people into the fire pit.

Of course, it is not that there is no way to be promoted, as long as they show the potential of command, the superiors are still happy to promote.

Although the team is important, the brigade commander is even more important.

After the reform of the military system, the requirements for the team are much stricter, although there is no comprehensive ban on the team being the first, but now the team is rarely in the forefront.

The most they did was to arrange a team for offense and defense, and although there were still deviations in many aspects, under the influence of the policy, they were still slowly changing to command posts.

This is also the reason why many people disdain Xue Rengui and other local military academy students, who have no combat experience, no combat exploits, no command experience, and only rely on their four-year military academy career.

Such people, let alone convince them, even those soldiers under their command may not be able to look down on them.

It's just that Qiu He didn't expect that the military academy had such high requirements for the selection of local cadets.

And according to what Xue Rengui said, if it is true, it can basically be determined that these one hundred and seven people now have the ability to serve as team leaders, because the content they assessed is difficult for many team leaders to do.

If the current team is a half-commander and half-combat type, then this kind of selection is a pure command type.

If that's the case, then what's the point of a four-year military school career?

It is better to throw them directly into the army, focus on training for a few years, and then directly serve as the team leader, at least this can convince the soldiers below and gain the approval of their superiors.

Why throw away four years of time here and start all over again? A high starting point is a good thing, but it's not necessarily all good.

That is to say, at the beginning of the fight, they did not intend to train them into a team leader, but according to the brigade commander, regimental captain, or even higher-level officers.

And letting them serve as team leaders can only be regarded as accumulating experience.

Thinking of this, Qiu He couldn't help but begin to envy these military cadets who passed the assessment.

Although their identities are more embarrassing now, it is foreseeable that the emperor's expectations for them are definitely higher than those of those officers who enter military schools in the army.

And that's exactly what happened!

Li Yuanji's expectations for this batch of academies are indeed more than those of the advanced officers from the army.

These people have been in the army all year round and have made great achievements, and this training can only be regarded as a systematic training for them before they are promoted.

And these people's thinking has been basically fixed, and it is still very difficult to make a comprehensive change.

Instead of doing something different, it's better to start everything from scratch.

Taking advantage of the fact that Datang still has enough time and the military is still very strong, this group of people is enough to support the new generation to grow up.

And these military cadets recruited from the local area are more like a blank sheet of paper, how to draw, completely depends on their own ideas.

Therefore, Li Yuanji, who was inspired to be an idle emperor, found another thing for himself, so that the names of those protégés of the Son of Heaven could be completely confirmed.

During each recess period, Li Yuanji would choose two days to go to the military academy to teach.

That is, the class is held every five days, and each time it is only about half an hour.

There is nothing particularly fixed in the content of the lecture, not even a textbook, or it can be said that it is a matter of everything, everything is discussed, and even some of it feels fantastical.

But after all, it was the emperor's teaching, and even if it made people feel like a fantasy, no one wanted to miss it.

Of course, many people don't think it's a fantasy, because there is plenty of evidence, and who could have imagined the appearance of grenades before that? Who could have imagined a bomb truck? The advent of rocket artillery?

After finishing the things in hand, Xue Rengui and these military cadets returned to the military academy and began to resume classes.

For them, there is no holiday at all, even if it is New Year's Day, they have to stay in school.

Only in the second year will they have a month's vacation around the New Year's Day, a decision that feels a little inhumane, but there is no way around it.

On the day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuanji had just finished attending a large court meeting in the morning, which was the largest and most powerful annual court meeting, and there were about 17,800 officials participating in the court meeting.

During the period of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, the number of officials in the court on the day of Zhengdan was almost above 3,000.

In the afternoon, Li Yuanji came to the military academy for his first lecture.

Prior to this, most of these trainees were mainly based on basic training, which can be regarded as recruit training.

In the large classroom, one hundred and seven students, plus the instructors of the two classes, were all present, and even Li Jing gave up his rest time to come to listen to the lecture.

Li Jing is also very curious, what lesson does Li Yuanji want to teach to these newcomers who can be said to have no foundation?

As for Li Yuanji's military ability, Li Yuanji does not deny it, the past achievements, the reform of the military system, this proves those, but how strong it is, Li Jing is full of doubts.

"Don't treat me as the emperor, don't be nervous, here, I am your teacher, an ordinary teacher, you can do what you should do on weekdays, I won't care about things in the classroom, and you don't have to worry that I will wear small shoes for you." At the beginning of the class, Li Yuanji expressed his attitude first.

After all, the identity of the emperor will definitely be a huge pressure for them, and too much pressure may not be a good thing for learning.

Li Yuanji wants to train these people to be soldiers in the new era, and he has also looked at the list of these two classes, and when he saw Xue Li's name, he couldn't help but be a little happy in his heart, while the other names were a little unfamiliar, but this does not mean that these people have not left their own mark in history, but their merits may not be as good as Xue Li, and their status is not as good as him, so after thousands of years, he can't hear their names.

But those don't matter, the opening of a new era, there will inevitably be a large number of famous generals and celebrities, maybe their names were not loud in the original history, but now they may not, and even do not rule out, some people's future achievements will surpass Xue Li.

After all, Xue Li's achievements were achieved in that environment in history, and whether the new environment can be feasible or not, everything is still unknown.

The atmosphere eased slightly, but it was only some, and Li Yuanji did not continue to make progress in this regard, but went straight to the point.

"It's been a few months since you came to the military academy, and you have understood everything you should know, and you have seen everything you should see, so tell me your views on the future army and the future war."

Although Li Yuanji didn't want them to treat him as an emperor, who would dare to do that when it came to the matter?

Therefore, Li Yuanji's words were like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't even hear a sound.

More than 100 people below are like a pool of stagnant water, silent, even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, but they are not those ministers who have been in battle for a long time, at this time, they are all nervous and can't do it, who dares to stand up and say their opinions?

The students didn't dare to say it, but Li Jing pondered.

What he saw on the front line and what he saw after he came back all changed his form of existence in the army, especially for the cultivation of this batch of new students, which made Li Jing see some unusual significance.

Li Jing also seemed to regard himself as an ordinary student, and although he was already in his sixtieth year, he still stood up and said his opinion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the future army will change a lot compared to the present, in fact, this is not difficult to see, just compare the current army with the previous army, the most direct change is the change of the horizontal knife, and the withdrawal of the Mo knife, replaced by grenades, bomb trucks, rocket artillery.

The power and effect of these equipment, each of them surpasses the Mo Knife, and even the role of the horizontal knife has been weakened a lot, they have not been on the battlefield, they have not had this experience, so they may still not know much about this issue.

If it is under ideal circumstances, without considering logistics and supply, our army can not be in close contact with the enemy from the beginning, and will carry out all-round strikes at long, medium and near distances by relying on rocket artillery, bomb throwers and grenades, and if the enemy adopts the tactics of cluster charge, it will inevitably be killed or wounded, or even annihilated.

Only by adopting straggler tactics can it break through the fire blockade, but the problem is that the stragglers are facing our army that is waiting for them and cannot make a breakthrough at all.

Therefore, the minister felt that the future army, the future war, should ideally be composed of rocket artillery, bomber-throwing vehicles, grenades, muskets, and a small number of knives and guns......"
