Jingwen returned home and immediately began to think about building the firearms department of the Datang Military Academy. Now Li Shimin has ordered Jingwen to get a firearms department and be responsible for training officers for the future Shenji Army. And the enrollment requirements of the firearms department, this Jingwen is also pondering.

"Husband, what headache do you have?" Liu Qing asked very understandingly.

"Husband, I'm having a headache, this Datang Military Academy is going to open another department, that is, the firearms department. But where can I recruit enough people from the firearms department? Now it's not good for me to issue an all-day document again for one or two hundred people, and ask the local government to help me find the right person! So, who should I go to next for a headache? I require that you have the best mind and dexterity, and have a certain foundation in arithmetic! Moreover, you have to be young, because you can learn new things when you are young. Jingwen said.

Today's firearms, in fact, are still very primitive and not as accurate as later generations. Firearms at this time, as long as they know some mathematical foundation, and their hands and feet are flexible. Next, we will learn some angles, as well as the preliminary calculation methods of mechanics. At most, it's just a calculation of the power of gunpowder, and the approximate range function, etc. These Jingwen are also glad that he didn't have these things to return to the math teacher, otherwise it would be difficult for him to form a firearms unit. In the past, artillery was trained by firing experience, but now with functions, it is probably much easier to train artillery.

And Liu Qing immediately said: "Husband, I can find a lot of people like you want!" ”

"Oh? There are a lot of them? Tell me, where? Jingwen said.

Liu Qing actually said that there are many such people, and Jingwen certainly wants Liu Qing to recommend it.

The next day, Liu Qing immediately went to gather some people over.

"Husband, what do you think of them?" Liu Qing asked.

Jingwen saw a group of young people between the ages of twelve and sixteen, all of whom seemed to be very shrewd and nimble. This made Jingwen a little curious, where did Liu Qing get so many people. And it got it overnight.

"I've seen the owner!" The men saluted together.

And Liu Qing immediately said: "Husband, these are the children of those accountants in our accounting firm, they have been under the influence of their father since they were children, they have learned culture, and they are all literate. Moreover, they have also learned a lot of arithmetic basics, and because they have been turning the abacus all year round, their hands and feet are very flexible. My head is also very flexible, so I chose from them. ”

After hearing this, Jingwen immediately said, "How do you choose from the descendants of our own employees?" ”

"Husband. Fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders! Since all the cadets from the Tang Military Academy are going to be officers, it is better to cheapen our people. Husband, how can you become an official in the future without the help of some people, these people are all from our disciples, and they will definitely be very close to us in the future. And if you just get them into a military school, you're a student. Coupled with the fact that their parents gave us jobs, then they must have supported us. So, these people are the best candidates. Liu Qing said.

But Jingwen was still worried and said: "I'm afraid that the emperor will have an opinion on me at that time, and we are blatantly gangsters!" ”

Although Jingwen knows the importance of forming gangs. But isn't it not good to form such a blatant gang!

"Husband, you don't have to worry. I've been with you for a few years, so why don't you know that those officials are forming gangs? Aren't you also a gang? Liu Qing said.

Jingwen can only acquiesce. Because this gang is a common thing in officialdom. Whether it is a civilian official or a military attaché, who does not form a gang? Therefore, Jingwen can only acquiesce to this result. And the descendants of these own employees, if later they become officers. That's your own people. And Liu Qing said it well, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, since there is a chance, it is better to give it to others. The accountants under him heard that their son would be able to become an official in the future. That, of course, was pleased. It turned out that they were just working for Jingwen, but now they can still let their son get an official position, so can they work harder?

This is also because the Tang Dynasty's system of selecting officials was not rigid, and there were many powerful officials who could recommend their own staff, and even recommend some so-called talents as officials. And these are the processes of forming gangs and expanding each other's strength. Even Jingwen is not exempt from vulgarity, hoping to expand his strength.

Now is the time for Jingwen to expand his strength in military reform. And those veterans are no longer capable of the new mode of war, and their disciples and grandchildren will inevitably be reorganized, and their strength will not be cleaned. Now Jingwen and them have a similar starting line, and they can reorganize their own power network. And at this time, the influence on the army in the future will depend on who can do their best to install their own people in it. Jingwen's advantage is that he is the sacrificial wine of the Tang Military Academy, and many of these officers of the New Army in the future are his students. Moreover, Jingwen can also select talents from many aspects, and many of the staff officers in the three headquarters are from his subordinates, which is Jingwen's great advantage.

In the future, Jingwen will have two lines in his hands, one is an officer from the Snow Shame Army, and the other line is an officer from the Tang Military Academy. This will constitute Jingwen's influence in the army, and he will be able to protect himself when necessary. Since being shaded by that Yin Yue'e, Jingwen has a very poor sense of security about himself, because Li Shimin's imperial power is under too much pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to master as much strength as possible in order to make Jingwen feel secure. Only if he has a certain strength, so that Li Shimin thinks that the price paid for killing Jingwen is greater, then even if the East Window incident happens one day, he will not attack Jingwen. This is the reason why Jingwen lacks a sense of security and wants to improve his strength. As for the rebellion, Jingwen didn't think about it, because now that the world is peaceful, it is almost impossible to rebel. However, if he can grasp a certain amount of military power and let Li Shimin have a certain amount of rat throwing, then it is still possible.

"Okay, I'll take them to learn how to use firearms! Now that the Datang Military Academy has been open for a while, I am afraid that the cadets of the firearms department will not graduate at the same time as them in the future! Jingwen said.

In this way, the firearms department was initially established, and the firearms troops of Datang may not be able to do without Jingwen's influence in the future. (To be continued......)
