In July, the Qing court awarded Zhao Zhao to reward the meritorious ministers who pacified the change at the mouth of the river, and Xiao Mubai was awarded the general for his meritorious service. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This month, Xiao Mubai can be said to have stayed in the barracks without leaving the door. What made a group of soldiers of the new army wonder in their hearts was that the usually very amiable Lord Biaotong, how could he be so powerful when he tossed it, this month can be regarded as a miserable toss for these soldiers, from heaven to hell, it is really just passing by. Like some cross-country obstacles, five kilometers, etc., for Xiao Mubai, a standard soldier, it is already commonplace, but without this that day, they feel abnormal.

On this day, Xiao Mubai, who was in charge of military training in the barracks, suddenly received the news of Xiliang's summons, which made Xiao Mubai feel puzzled. Although he was puzzled, he hurried to the governor's yamen.

"I've seen the Governor." Seeing Xiliang, Xiao Mubai directly saluted a new-style military salute.

Xiliang didn't care when he saw this, he was an enlightened person, in his eyes, since he was a new army, he had to have a new look, and as for kneeling down to those red tapes, it was nothing to omit some. Seeing this, he smiled and praised: "Good, not bad." There is a heroic and capable atmosphere. ”

"The adults have won the award, and they dare not be ashamed."

"Haha, Zicheng doesn't have to be like this, this time this governor is looking for you to come, but there is something for you to do."

"I wonder what the Governor is talking about? Please command. Xiao Mubai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.

"The Governor wants to reopen the martial arts school in case of the needs of the new army officers, but speaking of this martial arts hall makes the Governor very bored. This time, the lecture hall was re-organized, with Hu Jingyi as the general office, and Zicheng as the superintendent of the school, I don't know what happened to Zicheng? ”

Speaking of the martial arts school, Xiliang sighed deeply, this can be said to be the most cowardly thing he has done as the governor of Yungui, and it can also be said to be a thorn in Xiliang's heart. In the past, there was a shortage of silver, so the school facilities were poor; There is a lack of new military talents, so the quality of teaching is poor; But now that the imperial court has allocated money, and there are military talents like Xiao Mubai who stay abroad, when will it be better not to re-run the martial arts hall at this time?

Hearing this, Xiao Mubai was pleasantly surprised in his heart, as for the martial arts hall, he naturally knew it very well, because it was a famous military academy in modern China, which trained dozens of generals during the later Republic of China, and two marshals in the later Republic were also from this school. Therefore, it is called the cradle of generals. By the time of the Xinhai Revolution, more than 600 new-style officers had been trained for the New Army.

The establishment of the Yunnan Army's lecture hall was directly related to the establishment of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, and the training of the new army urgently needed new-style officers, so it was imperative to open a lecture hall to train talents. Opened in September 1907, the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall was the most important one established in various places in the late Qing Dynasty, and was managed by Hu Jingyi, the general office of the Army Primary School. However, at the beginning of the school year, there were only 86 students, and due to the poor facilities and teaching quality of the school, only 41 people were still attending classes a few months later, so it was suspended.

At this time, Xiliang wanted to reopen the martial arts school, remembering that in the original time and space history, after the martial arts hall was suspended, it was not until 1909 that it was reopened by Shen Bingkun, the governor of Yungui, and he didn't expect that it was nearly a year ahead of schedule in this time and space.

As for Xiao Mubai's idea, it's even simpler, I can't ask for it! Speaking of the superintendent of the martial arts, that is the chief of education of the military academy! As the director of education, it is not easy to recruit CCP members among the students. You must know who is the most enthusiastic person in this era? O young man! The young people of this era, as long as they are involved with the national righteousness, will not frown if they die. Throwing heads and spilling blood has become a symbol of young people in this era. Thinking of this, Xiao Mubai had already begun to steal fun.

Seeing Xiao Mubai muttering there, Xiliang only thought that he was unwilling, greedy for the military power in his hands, and couldn't help but look gloomy, and said coldly: "What? Xiao Biaotong, you don't want to? ”

Xiao Mubai, who was taking it for granted, suddenly heard Xiliang's voice, looked up and saw the cold face of the governor, and understood what the other party meant. Therefore, he replied respectfully: "Returning to my lordship, I don't mean to refuse, but I just thought of something in my humble position, so I was distracted, and I ask you to atone for your sins." ”

Hearing that Xiao Mubai didn't mean to refuse, Xiliang's face softened, and he asked loudly, "I don't know why Zicheng was distracted?" ”

Hearing Xiliang's question, Xiao Mubai was slandered in his heart, this old guy just returned to Xiao Biaotong, and now he is honest again. Although he thought so in his heart, he still replied honestly: "My lord, I just thought about it, after I am appointed as the superintendent of the lecture hall, will there be enough money to invest in teaching, you know, the establishment of the lecture hall is quite expensive. ”

"This is natural, for the opening of the school, this governor will fully support it, this, Zicheng but please rest assured." After hearing Xiao Mubai's words, Xiliang happily agreed.

"Another point is that after being appointed as an overseer, the Governor shall not interfere with all teaching without authorization." After saying this, Xiao Mubai was also beating a drum in his heart, but he was afraid that Xiliang would not agree, but at this time, the words had already been spoken, and he wanted to regret it, but it was too late.

But what puzzled Xiao Mubai was that after hearing Xiao Mubai's words, Xiliang not only did not get annoyed, but laughed happily. In fact, this is Xiao Mubai who doesn't understand Xiliang's personality, in the late Qing Dynasty, Xiliang definitely belongs to the kind of person who knows people and makes good use of them, and the layman commands the disadvantages of the insider, Xiliang is very aware of this harm. At this moment, Xiao Mubai can make this kind of request, but in Xi's conscience, he thinks that Xiao Mubai has decided to seriously supervise the lecture hall, and he dares to use and delegate power to talents. Therefore, when he heard Xiao Mubai's request, he was not angry in his heart. He nodded slowly and said:

"Zicheng, but don't worry, I know that you have studied in the best military school in Germany, so the Governor will not interfere with your teaching methods."

After hearing Xiliang's answer, Xiao Mubai also breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing Xiao Mubai's happy expression, it didn't seem to be fake, Xi conscience loved Xiao Mubai more and more, it seems that he is not greedy for military power, such a talent should be of great use. Therefore, with a deep groan, I decided to surprise him.

"After you take up the post of superintendent of the martial arts, you can concurrently serve as the unified post of the new military standard, and this governor will not be appointed separately."

Hearing this news, Xiao Mubai felt that his heart was about to turn upside down, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your promotion." ”

"Well, I don't know what else Zicheng wants?"

"Returning to my lordship, I have no more opinions." Xiao Mubai felt interesting

"That's very good."

A few days later, Xiao Mubai's charter plan for opening a lecture hall was put on the desk of Xiliang's office.

The newly opened lecture hall is divided into five types of military divisions: infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineer, and baggage. There are three classes: A, B, and C, of which the students of Class A and B will focus on learning military disciplines and military science courses after entering the hall. The students of Class C first study the general subjects and their basic courses of military science. It can be said that only Class C is a bit like the prototype of the later military academy, focusing on cultural courses and military disciplines.

In addition to the cultural courses offered in Class C, classes A and B also set up necessary cultural courses, including national language, arithmetic, English, history, geography, etc.; Military science courses include tactics, weapons, topography, surveying and mapping, etc. The students in Class A are mainly from the bands, captains, and sentry officers of the battalions of the New Army, while the students in Class B are from the bands and sentry officers of the patrol battalions in various places. Both classes are one year long. The students in Class C are the graduates of the ordinary school from 16 to 22, and the duration of study is two and a half years.

Looking at Xiao Mubai's well-organized plan on Tiao Chen, Xiliang was overjoyed and happily agreed.

Jiangwutang is located in the center of Kunming, on a piece of land on the west bank of the splendid Green Lake. The main building is a large-scale Chinese traditional horse-walking corner building style of earth, wood and stone building, which is square, with arched door openings at the four corners to enter and exit, the north and south buildings are student dormitories, the east building is the office, and the west building is the classroom.

Xiao Mubai is very satisfied with the environment here.
