Li Chen then visited the military academy again, it was getting late, and Shi Xiong wanted to ask Li Chen to change the day. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but Li Chen's interest was very high, and he visited the military academy in the evening.

This military academy is located in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, outside the Guanghua Gate, because it needs a venue, so it cannot be located in the city.

When Li Chen arrived at school, class had already ended, and now it was evening rest time, and students could freely decide what to do after eating. At this moment, you can see that the students on campus are very busy.

Some are busy playing, and on the big playground, a football match is being held. Many students were watching. From time to time, they will also give instructions, how to do it will be better, although their words, the players on the field can't hear them, but they still have a very good taste of guidance.

On the spot, there were two other students who were not convinced, one said that it was good, and the other retorted, and their mouths fought. At the moment, the ball was not watched, and the two sides made an appointment. It's not a fight, it's a battle with a battle flag.

This is also Li Chen's imitation of the military flag of later generations and created. However, since it is a military school, of course, it is not simple. This kind of war chess already has the flavor of war chess with complex rules like computer games in later generations. To put it simply, it is a complete simulation of the battlefield situation.

What kind of troops, how much supplies are needed, how far they can travel, how many days they can hold out without supplies, and the terrain is also affected. In addition, there are simulations of morale, training, sergeant equipment, etc., which are as close as possible to the actual battlefield situation, which is very troublesome to play.

For example, when camping, you also have to consider the problem of getting water, how many people and animals there are, how much water you need every day, and then how to get water. So every time you want to play, it's definitely not just two or three people who can play.

There are still a lot of people on the side to help calculate, to see if his step is logical. Li Chen began to try, and included precise calculations in military projects, and he couldn't rely on the so-called feeling. As the saying goes, we should think more about winning and less than we can win, and we should evaluate various situations before the war as much as possible and make more preparations in order to win the war.

Winning a war is not based on some clever schemes, we can see in history countless examples of fighting with a small number of people and winning more with a small number of grams, but that is not realistic. That kind of thing, because it is rare, will be widely spread. A real war is not about who has a higher strategy, but about which side has fewer mistakes, and treating the enemy with no gaps.

Playing war chess can basically allow every student to have more concepts before graduation, and even the graduation assessment has such an item, however, it will not be included in the calculation of grades, only qualified and unqualified, unless you are particularly good, it will be included in the assessment.

Of course, not everyone is very good at this kind of chess. So the basic requirement is how many games you have to participate in. Students in different subjects have to contribute to their own subjects, even if you are only helping with calculations.

However, simulation is simulation after all, and no matter how realistic it is, it can't replace reality, unless you have virtual reality technology in the future, so in order to avoid raising some students like Zhao Kuo, Li Chen stipulated that every student must enter the grassroots internship as soon as they graduate.

Because graduation requires this kind of chess score, and everyone can play this kind of chess, it is very popular in military schools, but even if they don't take exams, many people like this kind of guidance, even if they may not need it in the future. However, no one knows. In terms of use, like Napoleon, he was just an artillery captain at the beginning.

The scene was very enthusiastic, and the two students who were about to fight were the coaches, and they immediately picked people on the spot, selected students of different arms, and joined their own side.

The Datang Military Academy, now there are about 200 people, and it is roughly divided into, the Staff Section, as the name suggests, is specifically involved in the plot, and there are about 10 people.

The post of staff officer appeared quite early in China. The earliest case can be found to be the biography of Wu Qilie, the grandson of the historical record. Among them, Sun Tzu is not the grandson who helped Wu Huachu, but refers to Sun Bin, who was not called a staff officer at that time, but just said that the army used him as a teacher and planned it.

In the Tang Dynasty, the word staff officially appeared. There is a staff officer post in the army. However, this kind of position is not as powerful as that of later generations, it is just for reference, and the war is still decided by the commander-in-chief, whether to ask the staff officer or not, to see if the commander is happy.

I am afraid that this situation will not change until the Republic of China, and most of the army still depends on the Lord to decide on itself. Of course, Li Chen would not do this, in Li Chen's planned military reform, the position of the staff officer is very important.

Then there is the cavalry section, which is not very numerous in each class, more than twenty, close to thirty. Artillery section, needless to say, in terms of the number is about the sum of the front staff and cavalry. The infantry section, not explained, was the most numerous, probably more than sixty people, and the same as the artillery section, two squads.

Finally, there is the logistics section, which specializes in civil engineering and construction, as well as baggage transportation. Li Chen plans to set up a special baggage unit in the future, and enter the era of firearms, logistics is more important, and it is no longer the previous one with a knife and a pair of armor to go into battle. In the era of firearms, logistics was more important, and a gun only lost ammunition, which was worse than a burning stick.

The two sides were in full swing, but Shi Xiong shook his head, "What, Principal Shi doesn't like this chess?" Principal Shi, hearing that Shi was ambitious, he could not be appointed as a local envoy and serve as the commander of the Shenwu Army, he was not happy, but for the sake of the new army, the emperor's weight, he continued to stay in office, otherwise according to the original history, he would have died depressed.

The emperor's weight, the most important thing, is to let him serve as the principal of the Tang Military Academy, originally his old boss, Liu Wei, but Liu Wei's health is worse than him, and he really put a lot of effort into this military academy. Whenever people call him Principal Shi, he is very happy.

It always feels like it's too much child's play. Hearing Li Chen's question, Shi Xiong pouted his beard and said, "Which general didn't kill with a knife and a shot, I always feel that this chess game is like a battle, it's too child's play." ’

Shi Xiong started as a small soldier and fought all the way to the general, and he never got used to this war chess, and it always felt like a playhouse. However, when it comes to opposing it, in fact, this war chess game has been perfected, and he also has his credit, so he feels very complicated.

Now that I have this war chess, everyone is pointing out the country, and it seems to be passionate, and I always feel that there is no such thing.... Shi Xiong was short of words for a while, "Without that kind of passion, it seems that it has become a calculation, and the calculation is obtained." ’

A veteran of a certain family is really not used to it. The blood of the soldiers turned into cold numbers. Shi Xiong shook his head and said, thought for a long time, and held back these words, but Li Chen understood what he meant.

'The minister is out of shape, the old minister wants to congratulate the saint, with this military school, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to produce good generals in the future. After another while, Li Chen pondered Shi Xiong's words, and Shi Xiong seemed to be consciously speechless, and apologized.

He is like this, he is not very good at meeting his boss, otherwise he will not be squeezed out by Wang Zhixing, if there is no Li Chen, he would have died of depression, but even so, he is still outspoken, and he never thought that this war chess is Li Chen's meaning at all, saying that war chess is cold-blooded, doesn't it mean that Li Chen is cold-blooded.

'The old general has what he means, I understand. Ignoring Shi Xiong's gaffes, Li Chen would not mind this kind of thing, "So I want these officers to go to the grassroots level to study, no matter what kind of high-ranking official he is, the son of a general, he must start as a small soldier." ’

Indeed, although no matter how it is simulated, it cannot be compared to the real battlefield, the complex human heart, and the climate may affect the battle situation, especially terrifying, if the soldier's life is really regarded as a number, it will completely lose its humanity.

This is not good for the morale and glory of the army. It is a big conflict with him to rebuild the martial spirit of the Tang Dynasty and establish the glory of the army. No one can use Shangguan's own life as a number, what morale is there, what is the difference between that and those generals and thieves in the late Ming Dynasty? They just care about their families, those cannon fodder, and they can recruit as many times as they die. To that extent, the soul of the Tang Army has to be established, and the education of the army is completely a waste work.

After watching the lively war chess game for a while, this game can not be ended in a moment and a half, there are many war chess rooms in the military academy, and some war chess games are often sealed, which cannot be compared today, and will continue tomorrow. In addition, there are many simulations of famous battles in history, which will also be sealed in the chess room, so that later students can reenact the battle situation at any time.

After taking a look, it was probably over, because it was getting late, Li Chen had to take a look, these military cadets were very energetic, even if they were of different ages, but they were all working hard, many people were holding the military books and gnawing hard, some were exercising, and the distance measurement class students in the artillery department were holding various measuring tools and constantly measuring in the school.

These ranging students are probably the earliest students in Datang, and Li Chen plans to go down to each class and expand this class on a larger scale. Not only should artillery be used on a large scale, but there are many places where these rangefinder class students can come in handy.

For example, without them, how to make a fine sand table. Relying on that kind of impressionistic map, you can still deduce, that's really just talking. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of trainees in the ranging class, which is used in many places.

They can also help re-clear the acres. This is Li Chen's recent work, re-clarifying the number of acres of land in the world, and asking the rangefinders of the military academy to go to various places to re-clear the acres of fields, on the one hand, it is an internship, and on the other hand, it is to clarify the arable land information of the Tang Dynasty and make detailed statistics.

This is a long project, Li Chen is not in a hurry, take his time, slowly clear his zhang, and keep clearing his zhang. This state is finished, and there are the next states, and the whole country is finished, and it is measured again. The number of acres of land has always been repeatedly prohibited.

After all, this land will change, and it may be washed away by rivers, flooded, and gone. Or build embankments to drain water, and build new ones. So you need to keep clearing.

The point is that the closer to the end of the dynasty, the more obvious this hidden field situation is, because with corruption, the local tycoons colluded with the officials, and more and more acres of land were hidden.

Li Chen's focus is on cracking down on this kind of force and making them not too rampant. This is very important, on the one hand, to crack down on corruption, and on the other hand, to restore justice to the people. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows that a large number of acres of land were encroached upon, the gentry did not pay taxes, and they still occupied a large amount of land in the world.

He didn't want this situation to happen again in Datang. The gentry hid the land, and the taxes were transferred to the Shengdou small people, or they simply did not pay the direct taxes. This kind of silverfish is too much to kill, and some can be prevented. Therefore, the trainees of the ranging class need to recruit more. It's not enough at the moment.

After turning around, Li Chen went back, he didn't invite Shi Xiong to dine together, but only asked people to send a lot of dishes over. Dining with the emperor is sometimes an honor, more often a burden, and it is good to do it occasionally.

On the way back, Li Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, Shi Xiong said another word, he didn't answer, that was his purpose, the real purpose.

The purpose of setting up military academies is to train officers in waves. It is no longer relying on those generals who have talent and luck to kill from the grassroots. Although it may not be possible for those talented cadets to enter the military academy, he doesn't need so many talents.

It's not that you don't want famous generals, but the traditional model of relying on famous generals or a big general can never change the bad habit of emphasizing literature over military force. Don't talk about the Song Dynasty, even if it was the Tang Dynasty, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it gradually embarked on the mode of emphasizing literature over military force.

Why is this happening? According to Li Chen's thoughts, there is one reason why the martial artists have to be guarded against. Preventing the warriors from making trouble, elevating the status of the literati, and the lack of sword soldiers during the Taiping period, the status of the warriors was naturally low.

As for why it is not to guard against the warriors, it is for fear that they will lead the troops to make a rebellion and cause trouble, which will be more serious. Although all dynasties and dynasties have had ways to take precautions, from the Qin and Han dynasties to obtain tiger talismans, the control of the army in all dynasties has become more and more severe.

However, it is these preventive measures that make the warriors suppressed by the literati, and the people have eyes, and of course they are also guided to despise the warriors, causing the entire social atmosphere to be like this.

Of course, this is not the whole reason, but Li Chen always wants to be able to reverse a little bit, and the establishment of a military academy is this attempt. In fact, this military school, if it weren't for the need for space, he would have wanted to get it inside the imperial city.

Shi Xiong said that he was the principal, but he was the school dean, and he was the real nominal principal, which aroused the criticism of the courtiers, especially the students of Guozijian, a martial artist, who actually climbed on their heads, really uncles can bear it, and aunts can't bear it.

However, these protests were ignored by Li Chen, protest, what can you do to me. Dismissal? Anyway, if you don't do it today, I'll admit one more tomorrow for the scientific examination, and I won't lose anything at all. It's hard to find a two-legged sheep in the world, but a two-legged official, is there still a shortage?

The Military Academy is too important for him to be objected to. (To be continued.) )
