Chapter 65 The Reorganization of the Han Army and the Training of Officers

In order to train these clay-legged team members into officers with basic modern military qualities as soon as possible, Yang Ming began the first training course for students as soon as he attended the opening ceremony of the Han Family Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

The basic courses of the first cohort were relatively concise, mainly divided into two major categories: military and political. It includes the infantry's code, model, order and tactics, terrain, transportation, and mastery of major military courses from individual training to command platoon, company, and battalion operations. In addition, there are political courses on the Bandit Movement and the analysis of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, as well as an overview of the Manchurian Tartars.

Yang Ming considered that these students had just finished their literacy education, and that their basic cultural knowledge was still very lacking, and that the battlefield would basically be dominated by cold weapons in the future, so he also added a cultural class and martial arts class to the above course training, and the instructors were of course Ming Dynasty scholars and captured military attaches who were forcibly hired by Yang Ming as Xuezheng Doctor.

However, this has caused a lot of problems, the unruly first batch of students such as Li Guangtian, Lei Long, Zhou Dabang and others are the most courageous middle-level officers in the Han army, some of them are even on the blacklist of Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, calling them to study undoubtedly makes them very uncomfortable, Yang Ming teaches them can also endure, although some theories are difficult and difficult to understand, but after all, it is not difficult to be taught by Gongzi himself, but in other people's classrooms, they are not so regular.

For example, Wang Shouye, a hundred households guarding the city in Dongxiang County, was lifted by the students when he was teaching how to raise horses in class, and finally quarreled about the occupation of the county seat by the Han army for some reason, which made some students beat Wang Shouye with a blue nose and swollen face.

"When the son learns and learns, he doesn't say it."

Lu Lang, the scholar of the Han family's martial arts hall, was shaking his head and reciting the Analects at this time, while the students in the audience were already drowsy.

In his early years, Lu Lang, who was expelled from the county order for offending the county order, hated the incompetence of the imperial court the most, so he was also one of the first scholars to take refuge after Yang Ming occupied the county seat, and regarded himself as Zhuge Kongming, threatening to help Yang Ming achieve hegemony.

Yang Ming once also learned to have a Longzhong pair with him in the way of Corporal Lixian, but this Lu Lang didn't know anything except reciting the original text of "Longzhong Pair" and knowing some stories of the Three Kingdoms, and even the Manchu Jianyu who rose outside Guanwai was also deaf, so it can be said that Lu Lang's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as his understanding of the Three Kingdoms.

So, Yang Ming sent him to the Han family to teach martial arts as a scholar, to popularize cultural knowledge and literacy to the students, and this person likes to talk about ancient military examples, just to tell the students stories in this regard.

"Lu Xuezheng, can you stop reading it, you still tell us the story of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu", Li Guangtian said very uncomfortably.

"There's no way, your son asked me to teach you knowledge in addition to telling you stories, and I also know that you people are not this material, and I don't want to tell you about these worldly knowledge, but your son is coming today, if I don't talk about this, can I do it?" was arranged here to teach a group of big bosses knowledge, Lu Lang was also very uncomfortable, quite aggrieved.

"It's okay, why can't it, but when our son taught us, he didn't chant the scriptures like you", Lei Long also stood up at this time and said.

"Oh, how do you read it?" Lu Lang asked with a smile.

Lu Lang, who came from a poor family, was not too disgusted to come into contact with these uneducated Han soldiers, after all, he often dealt with peddlers and pawns, so he got along with Li Guangtian and others a little, but it was only a good match, and he didn't have the slightest respect.

Seeing Lu Lang ask, Zhou Dabang stood up: "Lu Xuezheng, listen, what our son said is much easier than what you said", as he spoke, Zhou Dabang coughed and said: "Heaven to earth, wind to rain, mainland to sky." Mountain flowers are to sea trees, and red is to the sky. The thunder is faint and the fog is wet. Said down to the middle of the sky. The wind is high, the trees are white, and the rain is red. The cow girl is about the two star rivers, and the two Yao fights in the west and the east. In October, the sassy frost frightened the brigade; On the Sandong River, the snow is cold and the fisherman is cold. Mountains to the sea, China to Song, Siyue to ...... Oops, I can't remember, the thunder dragon is better for you. ”

"Things that don't work, look at me, Siyue to Sangong. Gong Cang is right to Jinliu, Han Yan, Han Yan", Lei Long was also stuck, and he couldn't say the next sentence for a long time, after all, Yang Ming asked them to learn this just to let them know more words, and they didn't understand the meaning of it, and they were all memorized by rote, and they were memorized because they were eloquent to read, so they couldn't remember much.

But Lu Lang was interested when he heard it, and seeing that Lei Long didn't say it for a long time, he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly, what is Han Yan." ”

"Go, I won't say anything, I don't care what kind of cold goose he is, I have to ask Gongzi to go, or I'll go home and get you a book for you to take a look at when Ming'er is on vacation", Lei Long couldn't think of it, so he pushed Lu Lang aside impatiently, and just as he was about to sit down, he heard someone behind him shouting and asking: "Who are you who injured Wang Xuezheng!" ”

"That guy should be beaten! He said that our occupation of the county was just luck, and the sneak attack was successful, and it was not a real skill, and Lao Tzu was angry at the time, and beat him up. At this time, Lei Long replied before he could clearly hear who the person outside was asking, and then, Zhou Yongjun, the first team of the first standard next to him, also echoed: "That's it, the officials and soldiers who don't have fart skills still come to be our husband, it's a joke, I knew that Lao Tzu would have slaughtered him when he captured him!" ”

"Childe?" Lei Long and Zhou Yongjun both followed Yang Ming to participate in the task of capturing the county seat, so they were the most proud of being able to occupy the county seat, and they were the least allowed to be questioned by others about their feats, but at this moment, Yang Ming walked over, and the two of them were instantly dumbfounded.

In addition to teaching in the Hanjia Martial Arts Hall, Yang Ming also had to return to the county seat to pay attention to the training of recruits, and at any time to deal with the changes in the movements of the Sichuan authorities and the progress of weapon manufacturing in the Han Arsenal, so he could only teach in the Hanjia Martial Arts Hall for three days every ten years. When Wang Shouye was beaten, he happened to be absent, but as soon as he learned of the incident, he immediately rushed back to Hanjia Village.

"Three-year-old children still know that they respect teachers and value education, you are all married and have children, and you are still so ignorant, have you forgotten the discipline rules of the military academy!" , Yang Ming reprimanded, and said: "Go and apologize to Dr. Wang, and go to Chen Daharizi to get twenty military sticks, next time if anyone commits it again, go back to Hanjia Village to farm!" ”

Lei Long and the others had no choice but to apologize to Wang Shouye in an orderly manner, but Wang Shouye didn't dare to act coyly, and hurriedly forgave these people. What's more, even Yang Ming came to apologize to him, he was even more embarrassed, so he had to say that he would continue to work hard to be an excellent people's teacher who served his classmates wholeheartedly in the future. Yang Ming, the principal of the sacrificial wine, was very satisfied with this and immediately held a meeting to praise him.

Since then, the educational order of the Han Family Lecture Hall has improved a lot, and the students and the Xuezheng Doctors get along more well, and Lu Lang has also become the secretary of the Han Family Lecture Hall because of the most harmonious relationship with the students, responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Han Family Lecture Hall, and officially became a member of the head of the military government.

A month later, the first batch of officer cadets successfully graduated.

At the same time, the basic training of new recruits was also completed, discipline and organization were basically established, and the second batch of trainees, who were directly recruited as reserve officers, were officially enrolled. Yang Ming also began to reorganize and expand the Han army, the previous four standards were upgraded to battalions, each battalion led the establishment of 1,000 people, the battalion below the standard, the establishment of 200 people, and the standard below the standard remained unchanged, but each standard added a team, that is, each standard governed four teams, and the team below remained unchanged.

The first batch of trainees, that is, the former standard teams of the Hanjia Battalion, is becoming the standard system of the new standard, and the original four-standard standard system is directly promoted to the battalion-level capital division. Because many veterans went to the Han family martial arts hall for further study, almost all the teams of the Han army were recruits, especially the third and second teams of the third standard and the second team of the second standard, except for the five chiefs and the team of Zhengbiao and Dusi, all of them were recruits.

"After the recruits return to the team, they must immediately carry out the second phase of training, including marching, reconnaissance, camping and other aspects of military training, you are all veterans of the Han Army, this training knowledge should be very familiar, in short, how tight your training is, how powerful your soldiers will be, when the time comes, I will give them a real combat exercise, if the performance of that battalion and that standard team is too poor, don't blame me for turning my face, remember!"

"Remember, please rest assured!"

On this day, Yang Ming was just about to enter the classroom with the newly made chalk to talk about surveying and mapping, when he saw Bai Qian running over in a hurry: "Childe, Yu Dahai has moved!" ”
