After those military cadets were roughly assigned posts, they were handed over to the general affairs headquarters led by Hou Junji for detailed distribution, and then they had to go to the west and serve in the Western Army. And many of them are future famous generals, especially the first few who have left their names in history. As long as there are military merits, plus someone to support, it is not a big problem. They can rely on Jingwen's old subordinates of the Snow Shame Army, at least they won't deliberately suppress Jingwen's students, so their rise is almost certain. As for the next, the second batch of cadets will be recruited.

After nine months of training and teaching, the first batch of cadets made those generals very satisfied with these cadets. The only ones who are not satisfied are those of the Guanlong group, because these cadets represent that their power will gradually disappear. But they had no choice but to accept it silently. They can only try to get their offspring into the military academy, and then find a way to continue to maintain their wealth. Because now they can't immediately rebel, because now is not the time to rebel at all! Rebellion is a very complex technical task, and it is not something that can be done if you want to.

And Jingwen will also start recruiting the second batch of military cadets, which will be recruited by the military academy itself, and will not be recommended by various places and old armies. And those old army twelve guards are now almost over, and the soldiers and officers in them are gradually transferred to the new army, or retired. And the old army only had the actual strength of the Qianniu Guard and the prison guard, as the troops to defend the palace, there was nothing else. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect the old army to be able to recommend any talents.

"Sacrificial wine, what should we do with the second batch of students? Do we still recruit students according to the original subjects? Zhao Dongyang asked.

Jing Wen immediately began to ponder and said: "Zhao Dongyang, this second batch of military academy students, in addition to those past subjects, I plan to set up two departments again. ”

"Oh? What faculty? Zhao Dongyang asked.

Now the military school has a department of infantry combat. The Department of Cavalry and Combat has a Department of Firearms, but now Jingwen actually wants to establish a Department again. As for this department, what is it responsible for? Zhao Dongyang didn't know what else could be used in combat except for infantry and cavalry battles, at most there was a firearms department now.

"The first department is the Navy Department!" Jingwen said.

"Navy? Does the sacrificial wine speak of the water master? Zhao Dongyang asked.

Jingwen nodded and said, "That is, the water master." However, the sailor is not quite appropriate. In the past, our sailors fought in rivers at most, and at most along the coast. And this navy is going to fight the ocean. In the future, we will open up overseas territories for our Datang. And this kind of navy is no longer fighting along the coast, but they will sail thousands of miles away, and then open up territory and obtain resources for our Datang. ”

Zhao Dongyang also said suspiciously: "Does my Datang need such a powerful water master?" I have a lot of land and resources, where do I need things thousands of miles away? ”

"How many times have I said that just because there is no shortage now does not mean that there will be no shortage in the future! How many of us are now, and the population will become more and more in the future, and there will be more and more things that need it. When the time comes. Can you still guarantee that we are not lacking? So, we have to find a way to accumulate more things so that we can prepare for the future. Moreover, is there a lot of resources. Do you think a lot of money will burn your hands? Jingwen asked.

Zhao Dongyang didn't want to say anything, because he wouldn't burn his hands if he had a lot of money, as long as he had legal wealth. Although Zhao Dongyang didn't continue to say anything about Jingwen's mention, he was still a little disappreciative in his heart. It's no wonder. Expecting the people of the Tang Dynasty to know what is the importance of sea power is simply a fantasy. At most, at most, Li Shimin's understanding of sea power is to blockade the Strait of Malacca. And then don't let the West attack the East. And beyond that, there is none. Therefore, the rights and interests of the sea are still far from the ancients! However, after ten years, perhaps after Wang Xuance in Guangzhou in the south succeeded in expanding his territory overseas and obtaining a large amount of resources, they would change their minds and be encouraged to explore the sea.

"The second department is the technology department. This department is responsible for training technical officers, in your words, training high-level craftsmen. For example, in the Department of Technology, we will set up a major in civil engineering, a major in military medicine, a major in ordnance design, a major in ship design, and so on. The technical department is also a place that specializes in training technical officers, and they can rely on the technology in their hands to make our soldiers more and more combative. Jingwen said.

Zhao Dongyang also frowned again and asked, "Ordnance design?" Does this still need to be designed? ”

"Of course, shouldn't we get more varieties of firearms? Doesn't large engineering equipment, combat equipment need to be better? You should also know that our earliest engineering equipment was the catapult, and later from the ballista to all kinds of equipment, not all of them. And we want to train this kind of talent who can design ordnance, and in the future, our combat equipment will be better and better. As for the rest, the military doctor can make the soldiers feel at ease to fight, which is a great help to morale. And civil engineering can help us build stronger walls, and quickly build fortifications to prepare our soldiers for battle! And this technical department has helped my Datang army to turn a combat effectiveness into several times, which can be like a tiger! Jingwen said.

Zhao Dongyang also felt that this was more reliable, at least more reliable than that navy.

"But where do the instructors come from?" Zhao Dongyang asked.

Jingwen continued: "In this case, we can hire those ordinary craftsmen and doctors and other technical talents with high salaries, and let them teach what they have learned. If they teach enough students, we can make sure they don't have real power, and they should agree. ”

Jing Wen is a person who knows deeply that the people of this era are incomparably higher than those of later generations. Therefore, as long as they can be promoted as some loose officials with no real power, they can also be allowed to take out their family heirloom technology.

"Okay, this is the new subject, let's move on to the admissions! If I'm not mistaken, the news of the enrollment has already been released during the internship of the students, and it will be the day of registration in a few days, right? Jingwen asked.

"Yes! In a few days, they'll probably be able to do it. Zhao Dongyang said.

"Okay, try to complete these admissions before my big wedding at the end of the month, and then I invite you to my wedding!" Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
