After Zhang Yuanzheng returned to Guangzhou, he decided to establish a military academy, and all the grassroots officers were rebuilt, recruiting cadets throughout the country, and providing a large number of grassroots officers for the army.

On September 1, 1850, the first military academy that would be famous in the world in the future and make significant contributions to the prosperity and strength of the Chinese nation was established at this commemorative moment.

The first batch of officers who returned to the furnace and rebuilt also entered the military academy in advance, and the host stood on the stage to arrange, at this time, the soldiers outside the door saw Zhang Yuanzheng's arrival, and hurriedly shouted, "The marshal has arrived," Everyone looked towards the door, and Zhang Yuanzheng walked to the rostrum, accompanied by Yang Huaifang.

There was a round of applause from the audience, and Zhang Yuanzheng raised his hand to signal, "You were all officers of various departments before, and you are the first batch of cadets of the Huaxia Military Academy, you may wonder why you are allowed to study here, and today I am here to solve the doubts in your hearts." We defeated the peasant army that invaded Guangdong a long time ago, but our future enemy is by no means a group of peasants with hoes, and we will face a powerful country like Britain in the future, everyone knows that we have fought with the British, and you have seen the weapons of the British, although we can also make this kind of weapon and use it in the previous battle, but you still do not understand the way of modern warfare, and our weapons will only get better and better in the future, you must not only learn to use them, It is also necessary to learn and create new tactics to defeat all enemies who dare to invade our Chinese nation. ”

Looking at this group of murderous officers, Zhang Yuanzheng smiled with satisfaction, "Huaifang, send documents to the whole country and recruit cadets from all over the country to study in military academies, an army cannot be supplemented without fresh blood." ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it immediately." Yang Huaifang turned around and went to hand out the paperwork, the opening ceremony ended in a round of applause, now that the military academy has been established, Zhang Yuanzheng believes that the officers trained by using modern military knowledge will be the best officers in the world, and he will continue to send fresh blood to the troops.

Zhang Yuanzheng thought that now that the military academy had been established and the reform of the army should also begin, Zhang Yuanzheng immediately convened his subordinates to discuss the reform of the army.

"Huaifang, you have been abroad, you talk about how our army compares to the British army, say whatever you have today, speak out boldly, and you are the same."

"My lord, in comparison, our army is indeed better than us in terms of weapons and the use of weapons, although our weapons are now better than the British, but our army is still weaker than the British army in the use of weapons."

Huai Fang is very right, although our weapons have also been improved, our use of modern weapons is really inferior to the British, so we must all sum up and learn new knowledge and new rules of war in the war.

"Huai Fang, over there in the arsenal, you tell them to hurry up, don't relax, in order to meet the needs of the future, the arsenal has to be expanded, you also have to grasp this matter, for the needs of future development, I decided to carry out a thorough reform of the army, strengthen the country and strengthen the army."
