Chongzhen Undergraduates

Chapter 57: The Army Trains Officers

"Bah! Are you worthy of being called a Han?" Ji Biao picked up the collar of the man who was begging for mercy, and knocked out all the teeth in his mouth.

"Who is in the lead?" Zhu Youjian asked coldly.

"That's him. He went to find Chen Ershun, pretending to be a relative of Chen Ershun." The captives scrambled to betray their companions first.A middle-aged man collapsed on the ground, the ground was already wet under his buttocks.

"General, please forgive me. I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby who is still breastfeeding!" Chen Ershun's so-called relative trembled and begged for mercy.

"You want to die and ask them if they do it?" Zhu Youjian growled and pointed to the five golden flowers on the ground.

Zhu Youjian stood up and walked towards the door of the small farmyard, looking at the small mountain village full of officers, he said loudly:

"Ming soldiers, do you have parents, sisters, relatives?"

"Why should we resist Hou Jin, here is the answer."

"The fight against gold is not for the emperor, not for money. Everyone has seen it today. If we don't fight against gold, the gold people will come and kill our parents, our sisters, and finally us."

"Look at them, this is your future. Take a good look!"

"You say, should we fight against gold?" Zhu Youjian roared loudly.

"Yes!" The officer battalion said in unison.

"Do you want?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Everyone said in unison, resounding through Mount Tai.

Five martyrs were buried together to form a huge tomb.In front of the tomb stood a large row of wooden stakes, where twenty traitors were hanged.

Many years later, the bones of these traitors were smashed and turned into ashes.The local people left the wooden piles and called them the sinner piles, and the large tomb was called Wuguniang Tomb.

Deng Zhirong changed from regiment commander to company commander, and Chen Ershun died of serious injuries.The Maitreya sect split into two branches, Yang Jing and Fang Yi joined Zhu Youjian's Ming army, and the other branch became more hidden.

"Commander, the training has ended. Can the officers' positions be restored?" After returning to Laiwu, Li Yan asked Zhu Youjian for his opinion.

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Youjian said: "They are still a step away from the end of the training, and it's time to submit their homework."

Li Yan wondered, the general still has to hand in homework? "Homework? What homework?"

"Of course it is the homework of this training. Tell every officer participating in the training that from the day after tomorrow, I will set up offensive and defensive confrontation drills according to the three types of terrain in the previous training.

All drills are divided into six groups, and everyone chooses the attacker or defender under the terrain.Each person can only choose one, and then debate according to the group situation.

Among the teams, the students with the best grades will be rewarded.Among officers of the same level, the principal and deputy positions will be arranged according to their performance. "

Zhu Youjian's idea is very simple. With so many recruits recruited at once, plus Li Yan's Henan soldiers, there is a serious shortage of qualified officers.

Li Yan's soldiers are not Li Zicheng's old battalion, nor are there veterans like the old battalion who can act as commanders.

The combat effectiveness of an army does not only refer to the individual quality of soldiers, but also includes the command ability of generals at all levels.

It is far from enough to train soldiers. Without generals, the combat power of the entire army cannot be raised at all.

Zhu Youjian used the death of five women to successfully inspire the belief in the officer's heart, but belief alone is not enough.Officers also need confidence, so, through practical training and drills, to enhance the confidence of officers in winning battles.

Although this is a war drill like talking on paper, Zhu Youjian couldn't think of a better way to train them.

They can't be dragged directly to the battlefield like Whampoa students. Whoever survives is a qualified officer.

"How to judge the results?" Li Yan felt that this way of talking about wars on paper has no way to prove the effect of the war, so how to judge who wins and who loses.

"During the confrontation, the other members of the team act as referees. After the deduction is over, the winner and the score are decided by voting."

This is a process of learning from each other. When I see others conducting confrontational games, I am also learning other people's methods, learning from each other, and promoting each other.

"Then if the person who deduces later learns the method of the person in front, wouldn't it be unfair to the person who deduced first?"

The official position of an officer, after all, determines the future personal development.The core of the examination is to be open, notarized, and fair.Especially in the army, if serious injustice occurs, it will hit people's hearts and the consequences will be serious.

"That's why we are needed." Zhu Youjian smiled: "Before the game starts, everyone is required to submit their own plans in advance. That is, they arrange offensive and defensive plans. All officers participating in the game must follow the plans they submitted. Explanation."

"In addition, among the offensive and defensive sides in various terrains, the top ten with the best results will disclose their combat plans and distribute them as information to everyone to strengthen learning."

Zhu Youjian attached great importance to cultural education in the training of recruits, especially military officers.In order to increase the cultural basic courses of these illiterates, Zhu Youjian almost used all means.

Zhu Youjian not only specially arranged dozens of scholars to be teachers, but also punished physical fitness, starved, locked up in confinement, awarded silver, issued certificates, and so on.

Fortunately, these big bastards were forced so hard that they could barely read a few words.Zhu Youjian has no hope of asking them to write articles.

His requirement for the text of the plan is just to list the main points, one, two, three, four, five, as long as he can speak clearly, he will pass the test.Like a wife account.

Talented people will serve as referees in this deduction, and the criterion for judging by the referees is not victory or defeat, but whether the commentary is based on the submitted manuscript.Anyone who plays tricks will be judged out immediately.

As soon as this standard came out, dozens of scholars instantly became fragrant buns.In the past, the military officers despised and made things difficult for these talented teachers, and in the blink of an eye they all lined up with gifts to beg the talented teachers.

Not for anything else, just to find someone to help with homework.However, Zhu Youjian had already issued a death order to these scholars. If anyone caught a knife and wrote for someone, he would be expelled immediately.

Then, there were all kinds of jokes in the barracks. A large group of officers sat in rows under the eaves to learn to write, and they continued to study until late at night.

In just a few days, these people knew more words than they had learned in years.

Li Yan watched all this with a smile, and couldn't help but admire Zhu Youjian's methods.The speed of cultivating cultural people is too damn fast.If it goes on like this without a war, it is estimated that the entire army can be a scholar.

After another ten days, all the officers dragged their feet and finally handed in the deduction copy, and the final hurdle of training completion: the confrontation deduction officially began.

More than a thousand people were divided into six groups to conduct war games under the known conditions given by the military department.There are only less than 200 people in a group, but it takes more than a month to go through all the deduction with 200 people.

Zhu Youjian had already planned it out, and he didn't have time to play with them here.As a leader, of course, you only need to know the result. As for the process, it is natural for the people below to execute it.

In Zhu Youjian's vision, this war game is just a course in the military academy.He took it out and used it, just to slowly train military officers according to later generations.

Although these people are far from meeting the standards of future generations of undergraduates, the standards also need to be divided according to the era.

In the era of Ming Dynasty, the major students cultivated by Zhu Youjian's current means are also considered to be unique and among the best.

Furthermore, the standards of major students can also be gradually improved, and what to say in what situation.When the conditions are met in the future, there will naturally be more demanding military school students.

The first batch of undergraduates in the military academy in the Chongzhen era was created by Zhu Youjian in this way.

"Commander, a letter from Nanjing. The construction of Jiangjun Mountain is about to be completed, can we leave now?"

Zhu Youjian stood up, flicked the non-existent dust on his clothes and said, "I'm finally going to Nanjing. Inform the princess and the third prince to pack up and leave tonight."
