Chapter 359 "Little Martial Arts Academy"
At this time, everyone felt that it was almost over, and a phalanx slowly walked out, making people's eyes shine.
A phalanx appeared, and this phalanx was all a group of eleven or twelve-year-old boys, and the number was also five hundred.
These teenagers are all childish faces, but their eyes are very firm, and they march in the team without squinting.
"What are these teenagers doing? Could it be that there are still Boy Scouts in our dynasty? ”
"This is a student of the Little Martial Arts Academy!"
"Small Martial Arts Academy, is there still a Great Martial Arts Academy?"
"Naturally!"
"The year before last, the Wubei School established in Xiangyang mainly recruits scholars, and the minimum qualification is also Xiucai, which is called the Great Wubei School. As long as you graduate, you will be assigned to the army as an officer! This is for an official, not a big soldier! The best person in their middle school may be a general, and the worst person in the army is also a squad leader, and some top-notch boys can even become battalion commanders! In the future, it can be said that he will have a bright future in the army! ”
"Last year, the emperor set up a small martial arts academy! The Jin army marched south, burned and looted everywhere, hundreds of people lost their lives, and countless children became orphans. The emperor took pity on these orphans and set up a small martial arts school! ”
"Don't underestimate these! Most of these guys are orphans, or orphans of fallen soldiers in the army, or sons of generals in the army, and now the emperor treats them very well, not only taking care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also hiring scholars and military attaches to teach them! ”
"After reaching the age of sixteen, you can enter the military academy to continue your studies, you can also join the military camp, or you can pass the examination, and you can be appropriately awarded an official position."
The ordinary people were talking and full of emotion. No one wants to live this kind of life of fighting and killing, everyone knows that fighting will kill people, but now they have to fight, and even children sometimes have to go to war.
This military parade has played a very big role in stabilizing the people's hearts, and after the super force is displayed, some people who feel that the emperor's policies are dissatisfied with the victims of this change can only acquiesce in this fact.
It is better to lose money than to lose your life. With the existence of such a strong army, dissatisfaction can only be admitted.
"The Great Martial Arts Academy, the Little Martial Arts Academy, it's really terrifying!"
Su Yi muttered, a little incredulous.
In his opinion. This emperor of the Song Dynasty, although he was good at using soldiers. It's just a little breathless. Hurried Northern Expedition. It's just that now it seems that some people take it for granted, this Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is shrewd! Where is the rush of the Northern Expedition, it is simply a victory, and everything is under control.
Establish large and small armed schools. It was for the Northern Expedition a few years later.
The large and small military training schools are essentially to reserve talents for the army and better expand the army. It is easy to recruit soldiers, but it is difficult to find good generals. These good generals don't have to be as outstanding as Han Shin. It is enough to only need Liaohua first-class.
Especially in the Xiaowubei Academy, most of them were eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers at this time, and they were young at this time, and they were not enough to go to the battlefield, but after three or five years, their bodies and bones grew up, and at that time they were the essence of the Northern Expedition.
These orphans, whose parents were all killed by Jin Jun, have a bitter hatred for Jin Jun, and are favored by the current emperor, and regard the current emperor as their father, the most loyal, such a young man is terrible. I can't see anything at this time, but a few years later, it will be terrifying!
Vaguely, Su Yi understood a little. This Northern Expedition is not so much to exterminate the pseudo-Qi, but to test the water and train the troops.
Jiangnan is too comfortable, stay here for a long time, the soldiers have been trained and wasted, and only bloody battles can train a strong army.
…………
Indeed, as Su Yi expected, the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy was to fight a protracted war.
Zhao Pu is self-aware, and he will not think that he can destroy the Jin army after a few decisive battles, and if the Jin army is so easy to destroy, it will not be called the Jin army. The overall strategy is to grind the Jin army to death, constantly fierce battles, continuous small battles, and constantly cut flesh with knives to reduce the number of Jurchen soldiers.
The Jurchen soldiers were very powerful, but their numbers were too small to withstand death.
Once the Jurchen soldiers died more than 100,000 soldiers, the Jin Kingdom was greatly damaged; Once the Jurchen soldiers lost more than 200,000 casualties, the Jin State was in danger of being destroyed. Once the number of Jurchen soldiers killed in battle is too large and exceeds the natural birth rate, the Jurchen soldiers will fight less and less, until they can finally no longer bear the war losses until they are destroyed.
And the Martial Arts Academy is a big killer weapon that grinds the Jin Army.
At the beginning, the martial arts academy was formed, and only scholars were recruited, especially nerds. Nerds, there are 10,000 disadvantages, but there is one upside, and that is the dead eye. Once the nerd is brainwashed, he is absolutely loyal, and he doesn't have to worry about mutiny, and he doesn't have to worry about the tail being big.
At this time, there were more than 5,000 students in the school or graduating from the Martial Arts Academy. More than 2,000 people were distributed in the various systems of the Song army, mainly in the middle and lower classes, so as to better control the local army and better disintegrate the local factions.
The Xiaowubei School, which specially recruits teenage children, teaches reading and writing, teaches simple military training, and at the age of sixteen, graduates and joins the army.
The small martial arts academy has a bit of a scout flavor.
Generally, veterans are brave and fearless on the battlefield, but when the war is unfavorable, they will choose to retreat or even run away; But sixteen or seventeen years old, half the size of a minor, but he is not afraid of death on the battlefield, brave and fearless, which makes people fearful.
They are hot-blooded and impulsive, and they are easily brainwashed; They are simple, the three views have not yet been formed, and they are very susceptible to bewitchment; Their ignorance and disregard for the lives of others are like mustard, and they are the most suitable source of soldiers on the battlefield.
Many famous generals consciously conscripted minors in the army.
In war, the Boy Scouts play an important role and are the most loyal.
Historically, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era, the most loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven was not the five kings, nor Shi Dakai, but Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, etc., young generals born in the Boy Scouts.
In the revolutionary years, the most loyal to the revolution were not those intellectuals who returned from studying abroad, but those half-sized red imps.
Brainwashing should start from children, so Zhao Pu built a small martial arts school.
…………
After walking around the city, the parade marched out of the city to worship their ancestors.
Originally, it was best to worship ancestors in Kaifeng, where there was a temple of the Song Dynasty. It's just that at this moment, it has become a fallen area, and it has become a land of pseudo-Qi, and it is impossible to sacrifice, so a simple earthen platform can only be built outside the city, which can be regarded as a sacrifice!
"All the ancestors are above, I will not forget the shame of destroying the country, this Northern Expedition, far away from everyone!"
Zhao Pu muttered silently in his heart. (To be continued......)
