"Is Mr. Zhang back?" The next day, the first thing Liu Fan did when he returned to Shihe was to ask about Zhang Yao's news.

"I've been back! But Mr. Zhang went back after class! I didn't leave her behind! Li Xiaohu, as Liu Fan's number one "dog leg", is naturally anxious about Liu Fan's urgency, knowing that Liu Fan is most concerned about Zhang Yao's affairs now, and he is also a little sad in his heart when he does not complete the task assigned to him by Liu Fan.

"Went back? Alas! It's good to be back! If Yao'er comes back tomorrow, you must let me know! Liu Fan instructed

"My lord! Rest assured, I'll let you know tomorrow as soon as there is news! Li Xiaohu immediately patted his chest and promised

"Hmmm! You go and send someone to inform Tang Ruowang and Wu Tao! I've got something to look for them! ”

Liu Fan thought about it for a long time and felt that it was time to formalize the officer training academy. In the past, due to the lack of teachers, the school could not develop further. After two months of Zhang Yao's hard work, he finally recruited three landed talents, plus a few missionaries brought by Liu Fan, Liu Fan already has enough teachers in his hands!

In the afternoon, Liu Fan and Tang Ruowang discussed for a long time and decided to establish a military school and a political school according to the model of the military academy of later generations. Regarding the establishment of a regular military academy, Liu Fan had this idea for a long time. Throughout China's modern history, whether it is Yuan Datou or Jiang Guangtou, they all started from the establishment of military schools or the mastery of military power, and it is precisely because they have an army loyal to them that they can build their own era, stand in the tide of history, and chase the wind and waves. Even Cromwell, who is now in the same era in England, created a new "new model army" to win King Charles I and lay the cornerstone of the British constitutional monarchy. Now Liu Fan also lacks such a brand-new army that has the ability and the mind to be completely loyal to himself.

The military academy is headed by Liu Fan himself, and the two vice principals are temporarily served by Wu Tao and Tang Ruowang. In addition, Liu Fan envisioned Zhang Yao as the director of training. According to the direction of the development of contemporary warfare, Liu Fan decided to initially divide the military academy into three major subjects. Infantry Section, Artillery Section, and Cavalry Section. It is initially expected to be a two-year system, with the first two phases of selection and recruitment by junior and middle-level officers in the army, and the method of recruiting all personnel in the later stage.

In the early stage, all students learn the basic knowledge together, and in the morning, they are taught by Wu Tao and other officers of the Broken Army, the basic knowledge of the standard formation, drills, shooting, assassination, command, tactics, and tactics. In the afternoon, students will be taught cultural knowledge, mainly Chinese, mathematics and physics, and a small amount of natural science knowledge, as well as various military examples from ancient and modern China and foreign countries explained by Zhang Yao and missionaries. Half a year later, the Infantry Section began to learn infantry command, artillery section, increase the use of artillery, repair, maintenance and ballistics, as well as terrain influence. In addition to practicing the basic knowledge of horseback riding, the cavalry department mainly implements actual combat learning, but also links tactics, battle formations and other highly targeted knowledge.

As for the political school, Liu Fan, the first batch of students, plans to recall some of the representatives from various places in the village and return to the furnace. The school is divided into four subjects: politics, finance, local governance, and social economy. It is also a focus on learning cultural knowledge in the early stage, and a sub-subject in the later stage. Since Liu Fan also had no experience in governing the local government, he could only ask Sun Yuanhua to serve as the vice principal and main lecturer, and Liu Fan only became an honorary principal. Considering that Sun Yuanhua's level was not very good, Liu Fan thought about it for a long time and felt that the political school was mainly practice-oriented, and invited outstanding representatives from various villages to serve as substitute lecturers to teach various work experiences and discuss solutions to various problems. Wait until your experience is mature before considering appointing a dedicated instructor!

Considering that there are not too many lecturers now, in order to facilitate the teaching of these only lecturers. Liu Fan chose the site of the two schools in the east of Shihe New Town. And instructed the craftsmen to give priority to the construction of two military schools. Because the weather is cold now, it is not suitable for the construction of brick and stone houses, so in desperation, Liu Fan had to build some wooden structure schools and barracks first.

Early the next morning, Liu Fan summoned the whole army and issued a notice throughout Jiaozhou, announcing the establishment of a new military academy. It is initially expected to recruit 1,000 trainees. As soon as this matter was released, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Shihe. The soldiers of the Broken Army have long been very envious of the treatment of the Officer Training School, and after hearing about this, they enthusiastically signed up, and for a time the registration office of the Broken Army was overcrowded.

…

"Huh? Why didn't anyone come to class today? Zhang Yao, who came from Jimo in the morning, was a little puzzled when she saw that the officer academy was empty.

"Miss, wait for me to find someone to ask!" Lu'er volunteered, turned around and ran out.

After turning around for a long time, Xiao Lu finally caught a student who came back to pick up things: "Do you know where the people in the academy have gone?" Why didn't you come to class today? ”

When someone came to see a girl holding herself, she was a little panicked, and she looked at it and smiled, "It turned out to be Miss Lu'er!" Don't you know? The marshal announced early this morning that he was going to build a military academy, and now the cadets have gone to the new site in the east of the city. It's a lively place! Why don't you go and take a look? "Everyone is very familiar with this special student of Lu'er, every time Zhang Yao gives a lecture, Lu'er will listen to the lecture below, everyone knows that the relationship between this little girl and Liu Fan is not ordinary, and after a long time, I also understand this girl's lively personality! That's why I asked!

"Huh? Changed places? Lu'er was a little panicked, and left this student and turned around to report to her young lady!

At this time, Liu Fan got a report that Zhang Yao was coming, Liu Fan was overjoyed and immediately rushed to meet. As soon as they met, Liu Fan said happily: "Yao'er, you're here!" I knew you were a responsible girl! I will not easily let go of my responsibilities and ideals! ”

"Humph! No matter how nice it sounds, it's useless! Miss has nothing to do with you now! You'd better go find your fiancée! Seeing Liu Fan's face change greatly, Lu'er said with indignation on her face

"Alright, Lu'er! Say no more! Zhang Yao interrupted Lu'er's words, turned his back to Liu Fan and said, "Brother Liu!" Lu'er is right! We don't have anything to do with each other now! I am now the future daughter-in-law of the Yan family! This time I came just to fulfill what I promised! Now that you've disbanded the Academy, my promise has been fulfilled! Let's leave it at that! ”

Liu Fan hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yao's shoulders and said, "Who said that your promise was fulfilled?" The academy is not disbanded, but upgraded. Teacher Zhang Yao, after discussion, in order to commend your excellent work in the past two months! You have been appointed director of political training at the new military academy and are fully responsible for the ideological education work of the military academy! Congratulations on your promotion! ”

Zhang Yao's face turned dark, pushed Liu Fan's hand away, and said angrily, "What political training director!" It's not up to you to decide whether you get promoted or not! Don't fool me with these little tricks! When I don't understand anything as a little girl? Bored! ”

Liu Fan smiled: "How can you say that!" Indeed, you have been promoted! Your responsibilities are even greater! This is a military academy with thousands of people, and the director of discipline is the key department of the military academy, which is related to the success or failure of the army after the destruction of the army! Thinking about it, I have to be Yao'er, you are the most worthy of my trust! Don't shirk it! ”

Zhang Yao looked directly into Liu Fan's eyes, "Do you think I will trust you as a liar again?" ”
