Military Academy!?

Yao Qisheng asked: "Is it an academy like the School of Political Science and Law that specializes in cultivating military talents?" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Yes!" After so many years of fighting, I feel more and more that it is time for our military system to change! ”

Yao Qisheng looked at Zheng Chenggong quietly, waiting for his explanation.

"Under the research and development of the Gewu Academy, our army's firearms are becoming more and more powerful. The number of musketeers and artillerymen in our army is also increasing. It's just that because of the veterans, there are still many archers, sword and shield soldiers and other troops. Hee, you can also see that the functions of archers and musketeers overlap a bit, but the production of bows and arrows is too cumbersome and time-consuming to be suitable for large-scale production, so I want to change the army and reduce the number of troops. Zheng Chenggong said.

Yao Qisheng pondered for a while and said, "General, if you just want to reduce the number of troops, you can directly delete it, so why bother to build a military academy?" ”

The ass decides the head!

Yao Qisheng is familiar with the art of war and understands military affairs, but in the end, he is a literati and has a natural disdain and antagonism for officers.

Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said, "The types of troops are different, and the tactics will be different. Up to now, our army's combat mode has been old-fashioned combat methods, and these methods are no longer suitable for our army, and are no longer suitable for future operations based on firearms. It is time to establish a military academy, not only to train officers with excellent qualities and military skills, but also to study and explore the mode of firearms warfare.

In fact, I was like I established it a long time ago, but at that time, the Qing army was aggressive, and we had to fight for survival all day long, and we really didn't have that condition. Second, in addition to being busy leading troops to fight, I also have to be busy dealing with government affairs, so I really don't have time.

As long as the conditions permit and the measures are effective, within two years, our Zheng Jiajun will be able to train a group of middle- and lower-level soldiers who will throw their heads for our China, shed their blood, fight bravely, be loyal and unyielding, and die heroically. ”

Yao Qisheng said with some suspicion: "General, the lower officials don't seem to discourage your enthusiasm, but what you said seems to be too idealistic!" ”

"Hahaha...... No wonder you have this suspicion. I envisioned a military academy that was not just about learning the art of killing. All those who enter the academy must first receive ideological education. An army that does not have the guidance of correct ideology is a blind army, and if it wants to defeat the enemy, it must ensure the advanced nature and correctness of the thinking of its own ranks! ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile.

His sister's, from childhood to adulthood, was crammed to receive that damn ideological education, and finally had a place to use.

Of course, Lao Tzu has suffered, and now he has to torture others tenfold and hundredfold.

Don't recite 10,000 times of eight honors and eight shames, Lao Tzu has your surname!

Yao Qisheng said: "The lower officials are willing to hear about it!" ”

"I'll explain to you in detail, the main forces of the new army I envision are only cavalry, musketeers and artillery, such as archers, sword and shield soldiers, etc., are no longer incorporated into the army, and are planned to be local garrisons.

Then 10 fighters are 1 squad, 5 squads are a platoon, 5 platoons are a company, 3 companies are a battalion, 3 battalions are a regiment, 3 regiments are a brigade, and 3 brigades are an army. The army is divided into standing army and non-reserve army. The permanent army is stationed in the military zone and rotates every five years. Soldiers of the non-reserve army study and train at military academies in peacetime, and are drawn from various armies at any time in wartime. Zheng Chenggong said.

Yao Qisheng asked with some doubts: "General, in the past, when I commanded the troops to fight, I paid attention to the fact that a soldier did not leave the commander and the commander did not leave the army, so that we could know each other from top to bottom and fight bravely to kill the enemy." Now that the commanders are separated, how do the soldiers know who to obey? Wouldn't it be dangerous if these soldiers refused to obey their generals' orders? ”

Zheng Chenggong scratched his head and said, "Xizhi, I have imagined everything you said. In order to make the soldiers better understand their superiors, I will redesign the uniform. The new uniform makes it easy for a soldier to know that it's the squad leader, that is the platoon leader, and that is the company commander......"

"But General, in the final analysis, these are only formal changes, not actual changes!"

"Yes. Therefore, in each platoon, I will set up an instructor, who is organized separately and belongs to the system of the Political and Religious Office, and has the right to report at any time. When the commander of the army has the intention of treason and defection to the enemy, the officials of these political and religious offices have the right to remove the authority of the commander of the army. Except in wartime, after being controlled by the official commanders of the army, in peacetime they are only under my orders. These instructors are specifically responsible for solving the ideological problems of the soldiers and ensuring the interests and treatment of the soldiers. ”

"A position like an overseer?"

"There is one point, but the more important duty of these instructors is to ensure the correctness of the soldiers' thinking, as well as their interests and treatment!"

"If that's the case, the soldiers are afraid that they will support these instructors more than the generals who command the troops!"

"Xi Zhi thinks well, in the future, the generals of the army are only afraid that they will tend to be professional generals!"

"So that's the case, those who lead the troops don't lead the troops, and those who lead the troops don't lead the troops! In this way, the position of dean is none other than the general! ”

"Hahaha...... Others, I'm not at ease. Zheng Chenggong said with certainty.

Under the vigorous promotion and supervision of Zheng Chenggong, more than 1,000 acres of land, under the labor of tens of thousands of young and strong, the Nanjing Military Academy was established very quickly, and new cement and stone were the main construction materials.

Zheng Chenggong served as the president of the Military Academy, Yao Qisheng served as the sacrificial wine, and Chen Yonghua served as the political director.

There are only three main combat arms of the new army, cavalry, musketeers, and artillerymen, but this does not mean that there are only three types of people in the army.

The principal and deputy cadres, instructors, and the history of the writing of the army that recorded the merits and mistakes, and each company was also equipped with a special cooking class, and the total number of these people was about 60.

In addition to the main combat arms, there are also scouts, special operations troops, etc., but Zheng Chenggong also knows a rough idea of these, and the specific training and cultivation still needs to be explored slowly.

In the early days of its establishment, the Nanjing Military Academy only set up six departments: the Basic Training Department, the Political Department, the General Staff Department, the Navy, the Army, and the Medical Corps.

The Basic Military Academy and the Advanced Military Academy have been set up to train only non-commissioned officers below the regimental level, and the Nanjing Advanced Military Academy has specialized in training senior generals. (To be continued.) )
