Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 642 Royal Military School

Chapter 642 Royal Military School

The location of the Daming Royal Military Academy is not far from the Royal Hotel, about 300 meters away. It is mainly an army school.

There is also a Royal Naval Academy in Quanzhou, Fujian, where Zheng Zhilong is temporarily in charge.

Of course, the textbook was written by Zhu Youjian specially for the Navy.

Including the current textbooks of the Royal Army Academy, they were also written by Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian personally wrote the military division textbook, not because he did not believe in the abilities of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, mainly some advanced tactics, which the ancients had not yet encountered, and only Zhu Youjian knew about them.

There are many things to learn in the Daming Royal Military Division School. The courses taught at the beginning start from queue training, and then run with weights.

After these two kinds of training, the horse riding, shooting, bayonet fighting, etc. began to be trained, and then the tactics began to be trained.

Tactical training includes observation of weather, terrain and formations, infantry and artillery coordinated operations, etc., as well as the training and use of new weapons.

After mastering all the above, he began to teach the tactics of large corps operations and small groups of guerrilla warfare.

It can be said that as long as students graduated from the Royal Military Academy, not only can they use cold weapons and various firearms proficiently, but almost everyone can lead troops to fight alone.

The purpose of Zhu Youjian's establishment of the Royal Military Academy is to train more outstanding young generals for the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the youth makes the country strong.

When the older generation of soldiers retreated to the second line, the younger generation must be able to quickly take over the work of the older generation, so as to maintain the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the strength of the military defense.

Otherwise, when the seniors get old, the young people are all pussies, and the Ming Dynasty has no future at all, just like the first emperor, and such a powerful empire died in the second generation.

Zhu Youjian led the expedition in person, and Qi Jiguang also led troops to fight, which did not affect the classes and training of the Royal Military Academy, and they would not come often when they were there.

Now the school instructors are all excellent generals selected from the Qi Family Army, Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, Shenji Camp, and Jinyiwei.

Some people may ask, what military knowledge can Jin Yiwei Qianhu teach students?

Of course, it is to teach students martial arts. What to do when you meet your opponent in hand-to-hand combat, you must use bayonet skills.

The defense of the Royal Military Academy is not as tight as that of the arsenal. There are only six soldiers standing guard. To enter, you only need to show your ID and register.

This time, Zhu Cihong did not register as the prince, but took out his certificate of lieutenant general in the Shaanxi army. After registering with the guard, the three of them went directly to the training ground.

There are not many students in the Royal Military Academy, just over 100 students, most of whom are the children of generals and nobles.

Like Huang Dahu and Huang Erhu, the two sons of Huang Degong, Zhang Fugui, the grandson of Zhang Shize, Zhang Zhengye, the son of Zhang Huangyan, Huang Song, the son of Huang Fei, Meng Liang, the son of Meng Zhaoxiang, etc.

These children are in their early twenties, and the youngest is only 13 years old. Regardless of their young age, they all have high status. Even if the title of Daming cannot be hereditary now, they still have several earls.

These children are military division enthusiasts, most of them sign up voluntarily, and few of them come from their families.

Because the emperor said that no one can be forced to enter the Royal Military Academy. He only wants the elite, and he doesn't want to train those who are battered. That's a waste of resources.

"Bang bang..."

As soon as he entered the gate, Zhu Cihong heard gunshots from the training ground. He guessed that someone was contacting and shooting, and immediately moved forward at a faster pace.

The size of the Royal Military Academy is not small. It took the three of them half a stick of incense to find the training ground. Before they got close, they saw dozens of people conducting firearm shooting training.

The trainees are all rifled guns. They are undergoing target training, and it seems that they have not yet entered the stage of tactical training.

Seeing children of his own age training together, Zhu Cihong really wanted to join the Royal Military Academy to train and play with his peers.

Seeing three strangers approaching, two soldiers came over immediately. They saw that Zhu Cihong's clothes and attire must be either rich or expensive, so they said:

"Who are you? Beware of being accidentally injured, leave here immediately."

Zhu Cihong once again took out the deputy general's certificate and handed it to the soldiers:

"We are descendants of the Shaanxi Pingkou Army, and now we also want to join the Royal Military Academy. How do we apply?"

The soldiers looked at the certificate of Deputy General Zhu Youjian, immediately gave Zhu Cihong a military salute, and returned the certificate to Zhu Cihong:

"It turns out that the general is coming, please wait for a while, we will notify right away."

Jun Bing turned and left, quickly ran to the instructor and said something, the instructor looked at Zhu Cihong, and then walked over with Jun Bing.

When he came to Zhu Cihong, he looked him up and down, and saw that Zhu Cihong was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and from his clothes, he was also a person of status.

"What's your name? Want to join the Royal Military Academy?"

Facing the instructor's question, Zhu Cihong turned his eyes and said:

"Under the next week, the deputy general of the Shaanxi Pingkou Army."

Zhu Cihong's words startled the instructor. It's really not easy to be a lieutenant at such a young age.

"You have already reached the rank of lieutenant general at a young age, why do you still come to the Royal Military Academy to study?"

Yes, the lieutenant general is different from these little earls. The earl is the descendant of the marquis, and the title is passed down from his ancestors, while the lieutenant general is promoted entirely by military merit.

It stands to reason that the young man in front of him should have experienced hundreds of battles and has no lack of combat experience at all, and the tactics he learned at the Royal Military School are almost all theoretical.

How can Zhu Cihong experience hundreds of battles, he only participated in three wars:

"Instructor, I was also ordered to come here. Superintendent Li Yan said that what the Royal Military Academy learns are advanced styles of play, that's why I came here to learn."

The instructor nodded:

"You're right. The textbooks of the Royal Military School are written by Tianzi himself. Because you are a latecomer, you haven't practiced the previous projects. You have to pass the exam before you can learn."

The Royal Military Academy was originally a military academy for training young people.

There is a special rule in the school, as long as young people with military background can pass the exam to study at any time.

This is also a stipulation for cultivating more front-end talents, otherwise it would be impossible to learn halfway.

Zhu Cihong, who has the rank of deputy general and was recommended by Li Yan, governor of Shaanxi, is of course eligible to take the exam.

Zhu Cihong nodded without hesitation and agreed to the instructor's request:

"No problem, I don't know how to take the test?"

The instructor pointed at the teenagers who were training and said:

"If you want to enter the school halfway, you have to compete with them, at least you have to draw with them or beat them."

"No problem, I will."

"Okay, come with me."
