A few days later, a large group of people of different ages ran to the vicinity of the Datang Military Academy outside Chang'an City, ready to inquire about the relevant enrollment news. And this time, it was recruited by the military academy independently, and it was not recommended by the original localities. And this method allows military schools to recruit more suitable talents, and also gives military cadets and military academy instructors the opportunity to meet face-to-face, so that everyone can get to know each other.

Before that, they had all heard that the military academy was going to recruit the second batch of students again, and it was not recommended by the local government, it was the military academy itself that recruited students, so they all rushed here. Many of them were the first batch of people who didn't have a chance, and the first batch didn't have a chance to get a recommendation from the government, so they all missed out. This second batch, they said that they couldn't miss anything. Because once they graduate from the military academy, they are at least nine-rank officers, which makes them all very envious. No matter how difficult it is for this military cadet to take the exam, it will be easier than the imperial examination! As soon as the imperial examination came out, it was only a nine-rank official, so the military academy created another way out for those who had no way out of the imperial examination. Of course, there is another way out is to go to the yamen to be a small official, this is the way for those who want civil officials. Military academies, on the other hand, generally recruit people who are biased towards military attachés, and rarely recruit any literati. And even if it is a staff department, the physical element must reach a certain level, otherwise it will not be hired.

"You're over twenty years old, we can't hire you!" A faculty member in charge of admissions at the door said.

"Why? Didn't there be a lot of twenty-year-olds in the first batch? The cadet asked.

"Because our rules were not perfect, and we were recommended by the local government that time, not self-enrolled. Now we are recruiting students independently, so of course we have to set stricter conditions. Over the age of 20, many people already have a family background, and it is inevitable that there will be a burden when they have a family background. Therefore, the high-risk life of the military is not for them. If you want to be an official, you can take the civil service exam. Or go to the imperial examination, this is fine. Our military academy does not admit people who have already performed the crown salute. ”

This article is actually stipulated by Jingwen, and military schools generally only recruit cadets under the age of 20. Because once you are over the age of twenty, most of them already have a few children in this era. In ancient times, it was not like the later generations, and many men in later generations who were not married at the age of thirty or forty were a lot. But in ancient times, twenty years old was often the father of several children. In this case, the child did not grow up, and if the father went to become a soldier, it would be very cruel if he died in battle. When the time comes, a widow with several children will probably be really difficult. A man is often the head of the family. The pillars of the family, if a man dies in battle, it is probably ruinous for a family.

Of course, this is only the standard for cadets. If there is a national disaster caused by a foreign invasion in the future, it is the duty to defend the country even if the father has children to join the army. But now there is no national crisis, so Jingwen does not support the fathers whose children are still young to become grassroots officers. A person should not only think about himself, but also for the sake of his family and society. When the country and the nation are in danger, there is no need for people like them who have too heavy family social responsibilities to go to the battlefield. Jing Wen, the first batch of military cadets, had no way to choose by himself. Therefore, it can only be fully accepted according to the order. But in the second batch, it is necessary to recruit students according to Jingwen's requirements.

"Don't come over twenty years old, or under fifteen years old! This time we are only recruiting students between the ages of fifteen and twenty. Those under the age of fifteen. Wait a few years to come back. If you are over twenty years old, you should now think about your family and not do such a risky thing. Also, don't let the only son in the family come. We don't take only children. ”

This sentence means that there are many people who are unable to apply for the exam. Because under fifteen years old, too young. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the increasing intensity of training. The first batch of candidates, that Pei Xingjian almost couldn't hold on, and according to Jingwen's training syllabus, the next physical requirements are only getting higher and higher. For the standard of military capabilities, it is only getting higher and higher, and definitely not getting lower and lower. Therefore, the training of the second batch of trainees is more rigorous and the standard is higher than that of the first batch. Under the age of fifteen, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand these physical trainings at all. Even if you bear it, I'm afraid you will have to live for more than ten years! For the sake of the sustainable development of the army in the future, people under the age of 15 should not come.

As for the only son not to accept it, this is also normal. The only child in the family did not join the army, which was also a tradition of many ancient dynasties. Jingwen naturally has to maintain this tradition, because if the only son dies on the battlefield, then I am afraid that the parents will be miserable. Once you get old, the evening scene is very bleak. What's more, the Tang Dynasty did not have a sound social security that could allow the families of military martyrs to provide for their old age. This kind of social welfare system cannot be established in this era, so it is better not to let them join the army at all, rather than treating the families of military martyrs and losing the support of the people at that time.

Although these conditions are very strict, many people still come to sign up. And this entrance assessment is also much stricter, no longer requiring physical fitness, and there are also certain requirements for cultural level. As for the flexible speech, if the words are not clear, the person will not be able to enter. In the past, the kind of people who fought the world with martial arts were not welcomed in this military academy ever since. And those who have certain skills, they will report to Jingwen and ask him to definitely admit them. Nowadays, there is a need for a lot of faculty members in the Department of Technology, so there is also a need for people with special skills.

Next, 1,000 students were admitted and then ready to arrange their enrollment. Of course, these are only civilian cadets, and those escorted by high-ranking officials are not included. According to the previous agreement, in-service civil and military officials above the fourth grade can have one guaranteed place for each student to be escorted to the Datang Military Academy. This is a compromise with those military bigwigs, so that they can accept this Datang Military Academy. And those who are escorted can be descendants of their own relatives or irrelevant people, it depends on how you choose.

"Sacrificial wine, how long do we arrange for this batch of students? How long do they want to learn? Zhao Dongyang asked.

Jingwen thought for a moment and said, "Arrange it for a year!" In the future, the duration of each new student will be extended by one or two months. Until it finally reached three or four years. ”

Jingwen's meaning is that in the future, the school will be more and more perfect, and the more you can learn, the longer the school system will be. Therefore, each term of students can be appropriately extended to a certain period of study until the final study period reaches three or four years. (To be continued......)
