Chapter 109: The Beiyang Army Military Song Is Actually ......
Probably Fang Xianwu also felt embarrassed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jingyun, do you know how long it took them to understand the queue before?" ”
Wang Yongan asked, "How long?" ”
"A full hour. Fang Xianwu sighed, "If I hadn't ordered the use www.biquge.info of whips, I'm afraid the instructors would still have a headache by now." ”
Wang Yongan nodded, understanding the necessity of corporal punishment in this era. Later, after the handover with the quartermaster department, the chief instructor Xianwu and the deputy chief instructor Wang Yongan began to officially divide the French military uniforms to the soldiers. Because the new military uniform was designed by Wang Yongan, a large number of lines and aesthetics of later generations were adopted to highlight the beauty of the image of the soldiers, which made the soldiers shocked one by one after changing their costumes, and they were proud that they could wear such beautiful military uniforms. On the other hand, the instructors were still wearing old Beiyang bloated old clothes, looking like cotton piled up together, looking at each other with a wry smile, and standing with the recruits, as if a man named Hanako was standing in front of a group of young masters.
Several instructors discussed, ran to Fang Xianwu and hoped that they would also change into new military uniforms, Fang Xianwu immediately instructed that the instructors change their uniforms collectively, and in order to distinguish themselves from the soldiers, all the instructors were directly equipped with leather armed belts - the soldiers were only cloth armed belts.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and with the arrival of the new uniforms, the warmth of the recruits has been guaranteed, but also as Wang Yongan enters the recruit camp, the training of the recruits has also been strengthened. The first month of the three-month training for recruits is to teach military queue training, personal hygiene habit formation, military etiquette, military appearance and military discipline, dormitory cleanliness, work and rest rules, barracks hygiene, military oath, morning drill training, military orders, dining standards, literacy training, military discipline and military rules recitation, military song training, etc.
There are several things that are not easy to do, especially literacy training and military song training, because except for a few non-commissioned officers, there are not many people in the barracks who know how to read, Wang Yongan considered it as appropriate, and brought Wei Wenkang to Wei Wenkang to teach the soldiers to read.
Wei Wenkang was stunned and said, "Gongzi Jingyun, your old man is trying to force me to death, right?" If you want to teach children, it's just that, after all, children have good memories, but this group of people ...... The brain turns slowly, the learning is slow, but the forgetting is fast, how to teach them culture? ”
Wang Yongan said: "I don't care, there are still two months left in the recruit training, and all recruits must learn 300 commonly used Chinese characters in the remaining two months." ”
Wei Wenkang asked rhetorically: "Three hundred words? What are the words of 300? ”
"It's up to you." Wang Yongan said.
Wei Wenkang relieved his mind and said, "In this way, as long as they know three hundred words, they will be successful?" ”
"Medium."
Wei Wenkang laughed treacherously in his heart, it would be too easy to only have three hundred words, starting from the simplest "one", there is also a personal surname, the surname "Wang" is relatively simple, the surname Li is not complicated, and it would be best if the soldier's surname was "Gan". So this unscrupulous literati began the journey of teaching cultural lessons.
The next day, Wei Wenkang asked people to arrest more than 30 scholars in Yangzhou to serve as cultural instructors in the army, and asked them to come here every night to teach and go home during the day to do their own things. The scholars, either threatened or deceived, came to the barracks at night trembling.
Wei Wenkang did not let them go to class immediately, but first taught them some requirements, and most importantly, this time to teach the recruits literacy, they only need to teach them 300 words - especially those with the simplest words.
"So don't be sad for our big guys, and try to teach them these words tonight: one, two, three, force, knife, dagger!" Wei Wenkang said, "Look at these six words, are they simpler than strokes?" The most strokes are 'three', so the other day we taught them two strokes and three strokes, I have compiled some two strokes and three strokes here, and in the future we will teach them four strokes and simple Chinese characters, everyone, two months will pass soon. ”
The scholars looked at each other, and it sounded like this guy was fooling things, not like he was sincerely teaching the students literacy......
In the first class, all the scholars audited, and Wei Wenkang personally taught six Chinese characters to a team of thirty recruits, only to hear Wei Wenkang say loudly: "Brothers, I memorized these words today, wait a while I will test you, if you can't write, you can't sleep tonight, see outside?" Is it going to snow? Yes, if you can't remember, just strip naked and run around outside and come back! Okay, today we start learning the first word, one! See no, one horizontal, one is one, one is one horizontal, is it simple? Remember? Who doesn't remember? Raise your hand and show me...... Memorize them all, okay, I'll teach you the second Chinese character, the second ...... Two horizontal, short at the top and long at the bottom......"
Wang Yongan also took the opportunity to eavesdrop on a lesson, and after listening to it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Wei Wenkang can really fool things, but in fact, the soldiers started to learn from the simplest Chinese characters with the fewest strokes, but there was nothing wrong with them, after all, they were not students who specialized in learning, and they had so much time to memorize Chinese characters. Moreover, there are only 3,500 Chinese characters commonly used by Chinese people, and you only need to know these 3,500 Chinese characters to be able to read all the articles - you may not be able to really read them, but at least you can be regarded as blind.
There is a fake talent Wei Wenkang who is responsible for the teaching of Chinese character culture, and Wang Yongan's next focus is another task - military songs.
The Beiyang Army has a military song, and the earliest "Beiyang Army Military Song" was adapted by Xiangshuai Zhang Zhidong for the new army in Hubei Province when he was training troops in Hubei Province.
Later, Yuan Shikai felt that this song was impassioned and easy to learn, so he introduced the Beiyang New Army and adapted it into "The Military Song of the Beiyang Army". After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, some of the contents of loyalty to the royal family in the lyrics of "Beiyang New Army Military Song" were removed, re-adapted, and used in the National Revolutionary Army, becoming the military song of the National Revolutionary Army. However, it was the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and later the People's Liberation Army, who really carried forward the song, and they recomposed the lyrics and named it "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", and since then, as long as this song is played, the whole world knows that it is a classic song of the Chinese army...... And the original author, the German, has long forgotten this song, and even many eventful Chinese in later generations used this song to ask young Germans, and even young Germans said "Damn, isn't this a Chinese song......
