PS: It's the fourth watch, brothers and sisters are also giving a little effort! You get the idea!

It wasn't until Wang Tao's back disappeared from Li Yongji's sight that he cleaned up his mood and walked towards the former Jingwu military camp.

What are the important inspection activities? In fact, he went to inspect his new love, or his new heart and soul baby-instructor training class!

As mentioned above, the place of Yangxinju Daying was originally a private land with an unfinished house covering an area of about 20 acres as the core, plus more than 200 acres of wasteland as an extension, of which the 20 acres of house was built on a small hillside, and the more than 200 acres of land were under the hillside, almost all of which were swamps and barren forests.

After Li Yongji bought this place, he spent some effort to renovate it, although he did not build any city walls, but it was naturally bounded by a small hillside, forming a double building complex inside and outside.

Among them, the old unfinished house on the hillside has been modernized, such as adding solar panels and solar water heaters to the roof, and building new water towers and drainage ditches, etc., to become Li Yongji's private residence, or inner house.

Because there are too many household appliances and equipment from modern society, except for Li Yongji himself and his group of students, ordinary people are not allowed to enter unless they are specially allowed. As for the foreigners just now, they were only allowed to enter the outermost and less sensitive reception room of the inner house, but they were not allowed to enter the deeper dwelling.

At the bottom of the hillside, a circle of military camps was built around the hillside, and the so-called old camp in the mouths of the Jingwu officers and soldiers refers to the buildings under this small hillside.

What Li Yongji is going to now is the military camp under the hillside, although it is currently a little empty because the main force of the elite army is pouring out, but this is only temporary, and he will make this place lively again sooner or later.

That's right. With the scale of the Jingwu Army getting bigger and bigger, the old camp of Yangxinju is no longer suitable for continuing to be the base camp of the Jingwu Army because of the limitations of the terrain and environment, but after all, it has been here for so long, not to mention the emotional problem, even in terms of infrastructure, it is also the best condition at present, and it is really a pity that it is abandoned like this.

Therefore, Li Yongji planned to turn this place into a military academy. In the future, it will not be called a big camp for raising hearts, just be more atmospheric, and it will be called Qingpu Military Academy!

As for the name Yangxinju, it will simply refer to the inner house on the hillside in the future, so that Yangxinju will become a building inside the Qingpu Military Academy in the future.

Li Yongji has long had the idea of building a military academy, but building a military academy is not just about having space and equipment, the key is to have people. It is necessary to have the right teachers.

When Li Yongji built the elite army, it can be said that he was a blue thread, and the real scholars did not come at all, and the recruits were all peasant children who were literate and improvised. So there is no teacher at all, and everything is starting from scratch.

However, after such a long time, everyone studied and trained together all day, although most people's progress was still very limited. But there are also many people who have a particularly fast learning progress, and they are beginning to gradually stand out. It is commonly known as the top child.

Li Yongji paid attention to collecting top students early in the morning, and through frequent examinations and training, he tried his best to screen out this batch of top students with outstanding achievements in different fields.

Before the Battle of Suzhou, because he didn't want to delay the overall study and training plan, this group of top students was only quietly recorded and did not do anything special, but when Li Yongji personally led the troops to fight the Battle of Suzhou, he began to gather this group of top students in all aspects and set up an instructor training class.

As the name suggests, the instructor training course is an organization that specializes in training instructors, and at present there are only 60 members in this training class, with an average age of only 18 years old, and they are outstanding top students selected from more than 10,000 qualified soldiers, all of whom are elites with outstanding skills and tactics and excellent ideology.

Because of this, this instructor training class quickly became Li Yongji's new favorite, and he had to inspect almost every day, sit down to chat with everyone, and listen to their debates and speeches.

Li Yongji also brought them back to Qingpu County this time, with the purpose of letting them go back to the old camp for a period of intensive training and to truly establish the training class, so that they could truly become qualified military instructors in the near future.

In other words, these people are the instructors of the future Qingpu Military Academy, and they will be the firmest foundation of the Qingpu Military Academy.

It can be seen from this that Li Yongji intends to train all the teachers in military academies by himself, and does not engage in any kind of hiring foreign instructors.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, Li Yongji has a large number of modern textbooks, and in terms of knowledge reserves, he is stronger than the military academies of any great power in this era, and what he lacks is only qualified students and the precipitation of time.

Once this batch of instructors is trained, the military academy can officially open, and the strength exerted at that time is definitely not comparable to the previous situation of starting from scratch.

In fact, Li Yongji also had many choices regarding the choice of the site of the military academy, such as Tiger Hill, which is also one of the alternatives.

But the last thought, Qingpu County, Zhujiajiao Town, Yangxinju here, is the starting place of the Jingwu Army, the commemorative significance is heavy, and the environment is not bad, it may not be possible to be a large military camp, but purely from the perspective of the military school, it is more than enough here, plus all the facilities are the best at present, so I will no longer choose another place, but choose this place to start.

Although this is the first time that the members of the instructor training class have returned to the old camp since the formation of the instructor training course, special training for instructors has already begun before that.

The characteristic of this special training is that there is no specific teacher, everyone is a teacher, everyone is a student, and it is a method of self-learning and self-discussion in the learning of the instructor.

To put it simply, Li Yongji gave these people a batch of revised modern military textbooks, and then let them read and study by themselves, and then they discussed and debated in groups by themselves, and then regularly opened mock classrooms, and these people took turns to give speeches on stage, and Li Yongji and others were students. When the other party finishes speaking, the people below will rate the speaker and give a comment on the strengths and weaknesses.

Not to mention, after using this self-learning method that everyone is a teacher and everyone is a student, everyone's enthusiasm for learning immediately exploded, and they didn't need Li Yongji to supervise them at all, they themselves held textbooks all day long and gnawed on them, and then whenever they were free, they would argue at debates or seminars, which really looked like that.

And. Everyone gives a speech on stage, which can also help them get rid of their fear of life and fear of facing too many people, and they can talk freely in front of a large number of people, and they can already be a group of qualified teachers based on this alone.

Because Li Yongji had constantly explained some basic tactical courses when he was training troops before, these 60 people had a certain tactical foundation earlier, at least how the modern army of this era should fight. They all understand it very well.

To put it mildly, any of these sixty people were taken out alone, whether they were used as infantry, artillery or cavalry. can be fully competent.

That is, before they enter the training class, they are already a qualified modern non-commissioned officer, and it is no problem to take it to train recruits. This time, they were sent to a training course to learn new textbooks, mainly in the area of strategy. As well as according to the new tactics of matching new weapons.

In other words, what these people are learning is actually the strategic and tactical thinking of the First World War era, the strategic and tactical knowledge that is completely higher than that of this era, and the modern war concept that must be combined with the relevant new tactical weapons.

For example, how to give full play to the role of radio in modern command, how to deal with the tactical innovation caused by machine guns, submachine guns and other continuous fire weapons, how to use infantry and artillery coordination tactics more effectively, how to use TOT simultaneous bombing tactics and under what circumstances to use this tactic, how to effectively maintain their own logistics, how to effectively use trench warfare and positional warfare, and so on.

It can be said that the things these people learned were all tactics and strategic theories during World War I and even World War II, and many tactics could only be used with relevant equipment and weapons.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that Li Yongji is determined to play the generational difference, to play military reform, and to use his golden finger to play asymmetrical combat to the end.

After all, after these people have learned this, they need to change their clothes, at least to change into the equipment of the First World War, otherwise they will have nothing to do with theory and no equipment.

Li Yongjun was very satisfied with the situation of the inspection, even if they returned to the old camp, they were still enthusiastic, and the group discussions in the class were still fierce and intense, even if they saw Li Yongji coming, they had no intention of stopping.

In addition to the heated discussion they are discussing, there is also the frequent arrival of Li Yongji, and everyone is familiar with it, if Li Yongji only comes once in ten days and half a month, then they will not dare to be so presumptuous anyway.

After inspecting the instructor training class, and having a discussion of strategy and tactics with this group of enthusiastic future instructors, Li Yongji left with a smile on his face.

At this time, it was already dark, but Li Yongji, who was in high spirits, didn't want to sleep at all, so he simply called Wall over and dealt with his affairs first.

Originally, Li Yongji was curious, curious why Wall wanted to arrest those foreigners first, but who knew that the answer he got made him stunned for a moment, he never thought that Wall did it to submit a petition for his name!

"Vote? Do you know what you're talking about? Any idea what the word means? Li Yongji asked.

"Probably know." Wall nodded and said in Chinese, which was still relatively jerky, "Others have sued me, and the meaning of the petition is to do something that has no way back and can no longer regret it, to express their loyalty." Lord Lee, I sincerely hope to fight under your command and follow you to achieve the glory I deserve, so in order to show my loyalty, I have arrested my compatriots, hoping that this will show my sincerity. ”

"Uh-oh." Li Yongji nodded slightly confusedly, "You're just doing this to show your sincerity?" Don't want to ask for something? ”

"Absolutely." Wall was also sincere, and nodded hurriedly, "I hope you can let my foreign spear team play!" Stop treating us as honor guards. ”

"Why, it's good to eat and drink, isn't it good not to let you fight?"

"Of course it's not good," after a pause, Wall continued, "I don't know how to say it, I mean, of course it's good to be treated. But if an army doesn't have a big fight all day long, but enjoys good treatment every day, then this army will be scrapped! ”

Immediately after that, he began to complain, and began to tell about the recent changes in his foreign guns.

After listening to Wall's story, Li Yongji knew why he was so distressed.

It turned out that when Li Yongji started the foreign gun team, it was actually to raise a mascot, so that the elite military could have close contact with foreigners, so that they could reduce their fear of foreigners. In this way, if you have to fight with foreigners in the future, there will not be too much psychological pressure.

Of course, because they are foreigners after all, Li Yongji's treatment for them is still relatively high, basically compared to the treatment of non-commissioned officers in the Jingwu Army, every day they eat and drink well, eat and live in clothes, and don't even have any requirements for training.

In the beginning, these foreigners still had some discipline. After all, he was just cleaned up by Wally's tricks, but after a long time, I found that even if I was lazy and slippery, the treatment remained the same. And there has been no battle to fight, just walking in the barracks and playing shooting, so the morale of the army slowly dispersed.

In the beginning. Wall also took the group of men he had bought to suppress it, but later Wall's bought men were also decadent, and they walked around and lined up all day long. Then they mixed together all day long, drinking and playing cards, and some even married local Chinese women, intending to settle down in the local area!

There is no other reason, because the foreign gun team is treated according to the Jingwu Army, and the Jingwu Army has a rule, that is, officers and soldiers at the level of non-commissioned officers, if they marry a wife, they can share a house for free.

That is to say, being a soldier here, food, clothing, housing, and the elite army are all included, and you can still receive a good salary every month, and this treatment, even if you go to Europe, is a treatment that only the middle class can have.

So who are the soldiers of the foreign guns? Not to mention Wall, he used to be just a lower-middle-level mercenary, and the others were either low-level sailors, or like Wall, they were lower-middle-level mercenaries.

In other words, these people in the foreign gun team belong to the poor class in Europe and the United States, and they are not allowed to be on the stage at all, and it is impossible to eat meat and drink wine every day, let alone a house, and even marrying a daughter-in-law is a luxury, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to China to eat.

You must know that in the middle of the nineteenth century, China was no longer Marco Polo's country of gold, but a dirty and backward place full of plagues, and Europeans above the middle class were not happy to come here to suffer except in special circumstances or with cerebral convulsions.

Now these people are mercenaries of the foreign rifle team, and they can eat and drink well and live well every day, and they live as nourished as the small European landlords, and all of a sudden they are disheartened, and they think about messing around all day long, instead of thinking about going to war.

In this regard, Wall, who is not ambitious, is worried, he feels that if his troops continue like this, they will soon be completely abolished, and I am afraid that they can really only be a guard of honor at that time, and it is impossible to expect them to fight.

If you want them to cheer up, you have to give him a chance to fight, and you have to win it!

Only in this way can we pull them out of the idea of being rich and peaceful, and re-arouse the honor and enthusiasm in their hearts!

"I'm disappointed with their current behavior, but I believe their depression is temporary." Wall is still bright-eyed, still containing enthusiasm, and even tears are about to come out, "Just give them a victory, really, just a victory, then they will stir up a sense of honor in their chests, believe me, they can do it!" And my foreign gun team will definitely be able to make contributions to adults and win one glory after another! ”

"Ahem." Li Yongji didn't know what to say about his enthusiasm, and it was hard to say that he had raised a mascot before, so he had to nod perfunctorily, "Well, I have completely received your wishes." Don't worry, my friend, the foreign guns team also spent a lot of my effort, and I can't bear to let them be completely abolished, well, there will be battles, there will be. ”

"When is it?" Wall pressed further, "Time waits for no one, and I have already made a vote, so you don't have to doubt my loyalty." Therefore, you must personally order us to strike! I'm afraid you don't know that my damned subordinates are now taking your orders at every turn, so if it weren't for your personal orders, my group of slackers wouldn't have been dispatched. ”

"Well, it always takes a little time, don't worry, don't worry......"

"Your Excellency!" Wall really cried this time, and grabbed Li Yongji's arm, "You, are you perfunctory to me?" Are you trying to be perfunctory to me? ”

"This ......" Seeing that the other party was like this, Li Yongji was also a little embarrassed, so he wanted to find a target for him to fight first to satisfy his command addiction, and besides, it was not a good thing to completely abolish the foreign gun team, after all, it also cost him a lot of money.

After thinking about it carefully, there are really no targets to hit around recently, and there has been a bandit suppression operation recently, but it is obviously not appropriate to let the foreign gun team go to suppress the bandits...... Thinking about it, he suddenly thought that Tan Shaoguang had been fighting in Huzhou recently, and he had written to him many times to ask him to stop, but he didn't give him any face, and was planning to send a unit to give him some color.

Why don't you send Wall to rescue Huzhou? In fact, Huzhou is not dangerous, after all, there is a fierce Zhao Jingxian, and Tan Shaoguang's troops are all cold weapons, so it should not be a problem to let Wall's foreign gun team go.

Although he just said to Mai Huatuo and a few people that he would not invade each other with the Taiping Army, who let the formal agreement not be negotiated, and besides, the foreign gun team does not belong to the elite army, it is a mercenary of foreigners, and there is always something to say.

Thinking of this, Li Yongji nodded, and said to Wall with a solemn face: "Indeed, I recently had a rescue campaign here, and I originally wanted to send other troops there, but since you are so insistent, let your foreign gun team dispatch." Then you go back and get ready, and in a few days you will be sent out of troops, and then I will personally give you written orders to ensure that your men will obey your orders. (To be continued......)
