But no matter why, if you win, you should naturally be encouraged, so he replied to the letter and praised him verbally, and then said that he should continue to work hard and strive to exterminate the remaining Jin Wanfu and Wang Xiaobraid's horse team as soon as possible.

For Zhang Zuoxiang, who came over to surrender to Cheng, although Zhao Dongyun didn't have a good impression of him, in fact, Zhao Dongyun didn't have a good impression of most of these bandits, but since they rebelled and surrendered to Cheng before the battle, and he was willing to put down his military power, he naturally wouldn't send it away, so he personally approved a note and asked him to go to the crash course of the Suiying Academy.

Although the Suiying School is only a private school in the third town, even if it is a person in the third town, it is not so easy to get in, let alone transfer halfway, without Zhao Dongyun's article, Zhang Zuoxiang can't enter at all.

The predecessor of the "Third Town Suiying School" was the newly built machine gun battalion Suiying School, which was later renamed the Third Association Suiying School and the Third Mixed Association Suiying School, and after the establishment of the Third Town, it was naturally renamed the Third Town Suiying School, which was attached to the name of the Education Department of the town headquarters, and the students were mainly active soldiers and officers in the Third Town.

Among them, there are advanced courses and crash courses, the purpose of which is to improve the strategic and tactical literacy of middle and senior officers in the third town, and the lectures are mainly given by Zhao Dongyun and several foreign senior retired officers hired with high salaries, and the courses taught are relatively high-level.

In addition, with the expansion of the Beiyang army is getting faster and faster, although several military schools under the Beiyang system are recruiting more and more students, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the towns for new officers in a short period of time, especially at the end of last year, the third town and the fourth town were opened at the same time, and Beiyang was unable to provide so many qualified officers for a while, so after a large number of officers who graduated from Baoding were recruited by Duan Qirui, there was an extreme lack of grassroots officers in the process of expanding the army in the third town. On the other hand, he is also trying to train grassroots officers. In addition to the advanced training course for officers on active duty, a crash course was also set up, and officers were selected from soldiers who were literate in short letters on active duty and copywriters and love letters for accelerated training of officers.

However, in order to avoid causing a bad political impact, whether it is a crash course or a refresher class in the Suiying School, it is not to recruit students from the outside world, and the Suiying School only recruits students from within the third town, but there are still many young people who want to apply for the exam.

In these years, although ordinary people have a certain resistance to being a soldier, thinking that a good man is not a soldier, but being a soldier and being an officer are two different things, with the reform of the imperial examination after Gengzi, more and more scholars have joined the army, especially those who have shown off in the army.

However, don't think that these military schools are easy to apply for, the provinces, especially the several schools in Hubei or Zhili, are thousands of people to apply for the examination every year, and in the end only more than 100 people are generally admitted, so many people hear that Zhao Dongyun has made a camp school, and many people want to apply for the exam, and I heard that they can't apply for the exam directly, so many people take a roundabout way, that is, first go to be a copywriter and clear the book, and then use the identity of the active soldier in the third town to apply for the exam.

The teaching quality of Zhao Dongyun's crash course in the camp academy is naturally inferior to that of a regular military academy like the Beiyang Army Officer Academy, but it is still barely possible to be a grassroots officer after training.

Although this crash course is not much, the Third Town Suiying School not only has a crash course, but also a refresher class.

The reputation of this refresher course in the Beiyang system is much more than that of the crash course of the Suiying Academy, since the era of the new machine gun battalion, when Zhao Dongyun opened in Baoding, there were many officers of friendly forces who often came to observe, especially Zhao Dongyun often taught in person, according to the memory of later generations and the military theories learned in his career in Germany, basically he talked about the most cutting-edge and even advanced war theories in contemporary times, and many things that no one in China had even heard.

In China, if you want to know what is the theory of static or elastic defense, you have to come to this refresher, if you want to know in detail what is called total warfare, you have to come to this refresher, and if you want to know what the "space for time" in the "Territorial Defense Theory" put forward by Zhao Dongyun at the end of last year means and what is the significance, then you have to come to this refresher.

These things are no longer involved in the tactical level, but the strategic level, you can't learn these things in the Beiyang Army Officer Academy and the Japanese Army, as for several other famous schools that can learn these things, such as the Japanese Army University, the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, the general Chinese people can't go to the University at all, the Lu University does not say, people do not allow Chinese people to apply for the examination at all, as for several senior military academies in Germany, according to reason, they will not accept foreign students. However, Germany is still relatively welcoming to accepting Chinese students, and it is still reluctant to allow Germany to accept a small number of students to study in those military academies and universities through diplomatic channels.

However, the prerequisite is to be an official who has a diplomatic pathway, and you have to take the exam yourself.

Therefore, the only thing that many officers in Beiyang could get in touch with these strategic levels and were the most cutting-edge theories of warfare could only go to Zhao Dongyun's advanced training class to listen to Zhao Dongyun's lectures.

The reason why Zhao Dongyun was able to pull up a young Zhuang in Baoding for several years was that his lectures also played a great role, and many middle and high-level officers in Beiyang had more or less listened to his lectures, so don't feel strange when you hear other Beiyang officers suddenly shout Zhao Dongyun as a teacher.

At the end of last year, Duan Qirui, Wang Yingkai, and Wu Changchun personally asked Zhao Dongyun for more than a dozen places, and more than a dozen subordinates from each town were sent to Jinzhou to audit for half a year, and at the beginning of this year, the other three towns sent a second batch of more than 10 audit students to study.

In contemporary China, the only place where we can get in touch with the most cutting-edge military theories of contemporary times is the advanced training class of the Third Town Suiying School opened by Zhao Dongyun, and although the Beiyang Military Academy is famous, it is still only a school for training junior officers.

In fact, after Zhao Dongyun returned to China and rose, Beiyang set off a climax of studying in Germany, although most international students still prefer to study in Japan in recent years, but there are also a small number of people, especially those in the Beiyang system, who choose to pursue Zhao Dongyun's pace of studying abroad and go to Germany to study, but only a handful of people can enter the Berlin Military Academy, which is not only an official dispatch student, but also you have to have the ability to be admitted to it.

In the case of official students, in the past few years, Beiyang alone has selected hundreds of people to study in Germany, but these are ordinary international students who go to ordinary colleges or military academies.

However, due to Zhao Dongyun's successful example, Yuan Shikai has great expectations for several famous schools in Germany, especially the Berlin Military Academy, and even specially selects real elite talents to go to Germany every year to apply for the school.

In 1902, Yuan Shikai selected four young officers who graduated from the Tianjin Wubei Academy to study in Germany from the Beiyang New Army.

However, none of these four people were admitted to the Berlin Military Academy, which made Yuan Shikai quite disappointed, but he didn't give up, he felt that Zhao Dongyun, who graduated from the Berlin Military Academy under his command, had achieved so much success, and it would be better if there were a few more.

So last year, he collected seven elite talents from the entire Zhili to go to Germany, not for anything else, just to apply for the Berlin Military Academy, and in order to arrange for them to take the exam, the Qing court's diplomatic department spent a lot of effort, but only one Yang Deming, who is not known in history, is only admitted to the exam, and this year it is estimated that people will be sent to take the exam, but it is impossible to really get a few.

In order to accumulate more seeds to study in Germany, especially those who can apply for those famous German schools, the Beiyang Army Military Academy also followed the previous Tianjin Military Academy and once again opened a kindergarten class in Germany.

However, although most of these elites who went to Germany could not be admitted to the Berlin Military Academy, they were at least officially derived, and they could go to several other second- and third-rate military academies in Germany through the diplomatic route.

This can be regarded as a small change brought by Zhao Dongyun to contemporary Beiyang, after all, with his example in the past, many people hope to be able to soar after returning to China after learning like him.

It's just that there are very few things that can really be done, for ordinary literacy, it is very difficult to even get the opportunity to get official derivation, let alone apply for prestigious schools in various countries with the help of diplomatic channels, they generally go to a certain country at their own expense, and they are lucky enough to be admitted to a formal college after a period of language study, if they are unlucky or not capable enough, they basically just live in the local area for a period of time, and they return to China without even learning Japanese or German, and these halfway people naturally have no ability.

In the past two years, there have been more students sent to Germany in the Beiyang system, in addition to the influence of Zhao Dongyun, in fact, it is also related to the fact that the students who went to Japan and Ben generally played and participated in the revolutionary party!

Perhaps for those southern provinces, it is not a big deal for students sent to Japan to join the revolutionary party, but in the Beiyang system, whether it is in Beiyang now or in Beiyang a dozen years later, this system has always been very repulsive to those revolutionary parties with radical ideas.

In addition to the few elites who go to apply for the Berlin Military Academy and other institutions of higher learning mentioned above, there are also a large number of ordinary international students, who have been sent to hundreds of people in the past two years, and some of these people will enter some of Germany's primary military academies and ordinary universities to study.

The changes that Zhao Dongyun brought to Beiyang were not only the wave of studying in Germany, but more importantly, they let many middle and high-level generals in Beiyang know a large number of contemporary cutting-edge military theories, so that the strategic theory of the Beiyang system would not remain in the period of the Franco-Prussian War.

After giving Zhang Zuoxiang a note to enter the Suiying Academy, Zhao Dongyun began to think about the deployment of the Xinmin Mansion!

The deployment of the Xinmin Mansion naturally belonged to Zhang Zuolin before, but now Zhang Zuolin has been wiped out in a hurry, and the Chinese side cannot help but be infantry in the Xinmin Mansion, after all, Fengtian is on the side, and it has to prevent the Russians or the Japanese from crossing the Liao River into Liaoxi.

It's just a question of how many troops to station and what to send!
