Chapter 285: Good News from the Research Institute
The academic system of the military academy is divided into short-term classes and long-term classes!
The long-term course is a three-year school system and is intended to cultivate qualified military officers for the future.
The short-term course only lasts for three months, and is mainly used to allow ordinary soldiers to complete the transition from soldiers to officers in a short period of time.
The purpose is to train a group of qualified officers in a short period of time to prepare for the large-scale military expansion after the counterattack on the mainland!
After the Liberation Army counterattacks the mainland, in order to increase its strength in a short period of time, the corresponding recruitment and training standards must be lowered.
To complete the large-scale military expansion in a short period of time!
Even if the army is greatly expanded, it will only produce traditional cold weapon troops, which will require a considerable number of officers to build the framework of the army.
Officers are the soul of an army!
…
The site of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy is outside Zhenyuan City!
This was originally a military camp where the Spanish garrisoned troops. Later, after the Liberation Army regained Luzon, it became a military camp for the Liberation Army.
Then after the Liberation Army expanded its troops, this military camp could no longer accommodate so many people.
Then, the Liberation Army built a brand new military camp!
This original Spanish military camp has since become vacant.
When Zhu Hongyu selected the site for the military academy, he chose this original Spanish military camp.
After a simple renovation of the military camp, building a wall around the perimeter, and then hanging a sign, the military academy was officially established.
Of course, the reason for being so hasty is not because the military government has no money.
But in his opinion, the placement of the military academy in Luzon is only temporary.
When the Central Plains are recovered in the future, the military academy will definitely be moved to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, under the feet of the emperor.
Being in Luzon can only be regarded as a temporary stop, lasting only three to five years at most.
It's not worth the trouble!
The big sun hung in the sky, and Zhu Hongyu stepped onto the podium under everyone's attention.
He looked around, his eyes passing over the faces of the students in the audience.
Looking at the young eyes that were full of enthusiasm or reverence, Zhu Hongyu felt that he was full of power.
"Students, today is the day when our Ming Dynasty Imperial Military Academy was established!"
"Today is worth remembering for all of us!"
"Our history is glorious, but also tragic!"
"Our ancestors created the most advanced civilization and the most splendid culture in the world."
"For thousands of years, we have been standing in the east, watching the sun rise and the moon set, and the clouds roll and relax, and no one can defeat us!"
"However, we have also experienced countless hardships!"
"The southern crossing of Yongjia was a two-legged sheep during the Wuhu chaos in China; the loss of the Central Plains during the reign of Emperor Huiqin of the Northern Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang; the humiliation of being treated as a fourth-class person after Yashan!"
"After the war with Jiashen, the Qing captives entered the Pass, and the country fell into a foul smell, and tens of millions of people died!"
"All of these are scars carved in our history!"
"Even if the pain has passed, the scars will remain forever, and the humiliation will not disappear!"
"Let us remember history and the deep sense of powerlessness we felt when the butcher's knife came over our heads!"
"From today on, there will never be another one!"
"Because our military academy was established!"
"Because you young people bravely stood up and became the first batch of trainees of the military academy!"
"And will become a qualified military officer in the near future!"
"Our army will fight back to the Central Plains under your leadership and drive the Tartars out of the Great Wall again!"
"The beating made them run away in panic, and Shan Yu fled at night!"
"Every time our nation experiences suffering, the trigger is the decline of the army!"
"But now we have established a military academy and have begun to systematically train qualified officers."
"With you here, we can ensure the continuation of our army's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent!"
"Work hard, students!"
"I hope that one day, each of you can become the Wei Huo of the country, and reproduce the achievements of Emperor Chengzu who sealed the wolf as a subordinate and restrained Shi Yanran!"
"When the call to expel the Tartars and restore China resounds throughout the Central Plains, I hope to see you as the king's vanguard, chasing death and chasing north!"
"Work hard, students!"
"Learn professional knowledge well, accept physical hardships, and be mentally forged. The country needs you, and I also need you!"
After Zhu Hongyu finished his speech, he turned around and walked off the podium amidst a round of applause and sat down in his seat.
After the ceremony was over, Zhu Hongyu did not leave the military academy directly, but began to inspect the military academy.
Talk cordially with the students of the military academy, and then go to the canteen, dormitories, classrooms and other places to check them one by one.
Overall, Zhu Hongyu is probably satisfied with this.
Needless to say, the meals at the military academy are provided according to the highest standards, ensuring that the students can eat well and have balanced nutrition.
There is a ration of meat, eggs and milk supplied every day!
The dormitory is a four-person dormitory. After all, the military academy trains officers, so the accommodation conditions must not be too bad.
The classroom environment is relatively simple, but the teaching aids such as sand tables in the classroom are all brand new.
Throughout the military academy, slogans painted on the walls can be seen everywhere!
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious, long live His Royal Highness the Jianguo!"
"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition! As long as you have a breath, there will be no peace!"
"Under the leadership of His Royal Highness Jianguo, we will surely overcome all difficulties and obstacles and achieve final victory!"
"Loyalty is the first principle of Ming Dynasty soldiers!"
"Be loyal to the king and serve the country, love the people, swear to kill the Tatars, and restore our Central Plains!"
"..."
The political meanings in these slogans are clear.
Zhu Hongyu nodded with satisfaction. What he wanted to cultivate were officers who were loyal to him, and ideological education was definitely indispensable.
If we don't do ideological education, if we cultivate a group of rebels, then we'll call them brats!
After inspecting the military academy, Zhu Hongyu returned to his supervisory residence under the protection of the imperial guards.
…
As the new year approaches, Zhu Hongyu is getting busier and busier.
Many matters require a year-end summary at the end of the year, as well as looking into the future and making preparations for various tasks in the coming year.
Recently, Zhu Hongyu has been busy with these things!
Until, an exciting piece of good news came from the Ming Royal Research Institute.
After a large number of Foshan craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship were sent to the institute, the institute's most important project, the research on steam engines, finally achieved a breakthrough.
With the joint efforts of Wang An and Liang Asheng, master and apprentice, the steam engine was finally successfully reproduced!
And passed preliminary tests!
After ensuring that the steam engine could run smoothly for a long time without any accidents, the institute reported the good news to Zhu Hongyu.
After Zhu Hongyu heard the good news, he was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.
Good guy, after such a long time, the research and development of steam engines has finally seen results!
Immediately, Zhu Hongyu abandoned the government affairs at hand and ordered to inspect the research institute.
