In order to enrich the talents in the pockets of the shogunate, it is definitely not enough to absorb outsiders. What's more, although the Chuang Army is now in a period of vigorous and rapid development, if it wants to obtain the talents that belong to the late Ming Dynasty,
It is not easy for middle- and upper-class scholars and officers to be loyal.
Li Laiheng still has to master a stable channel for cultivating military and political cadres.
Civilian cadres need more knowledge accumulation and administrative experience. In the army where there are few literate people, it is really difficult to set up a training institution for civilian cadres.
But relatively speaking, the Chuang Army itself has already accumulated a certain amount of talent in terms of military cadres. Those old brothers from northern Shaanxi, or some copycat village owners and green forest heroes with combat organization experience can be easily transformed into qualified middle-level personnel.
officer.
With Li Laiheng's current conditions and resources, it would be much easier to establish a Suiying School than a Civil Affairs School.
"Suiying Academy?"
Li Laiheng has not revealed this matter to Gao Yigong, so not only Bai Wang and Bai Jiuhe are curious about it, but even Gao Yigong is not sure what Li Laiheng's plan is.
Hao Yaoqi on the side felt his teeth hurt when he heard the word "school". He grinned and said: "School, school, what school? You can do whatever you want to do as a school, just don't involve Russia, Russia is
I get a headache when I read the words, and I want to kill someone when I flip through the book."
"Why don't you guys talk about this school first, and then I'll go out and rest? I'm so handsome, I don't understand anyway!"
Hao Yaoqi had just finished speaking when he heard a snapping sound. Fang Yiren unfolded the platinum fractured fan with Fang Xiaoru's "Fan Inscription" and said: "The first phase of the Suiying School planned by the Palace Master requires the former bidders to now
All major generals, when there is no war and no matter what important matters they have, must set aside five days every month to give lectures in the camp."
"Do you understand what Leshan said?" Li Laiheng clasped his hands and looked at Hao Yaoqi with a smile on his face and said, "I must work hard in the first period of Suiying School. All of us must, must you understand? Everyone
All generals with battle experience must go to the camp to give lectures."
Li Laiheng's words made Gao Yigong, Bai Wang and other generals all looked at each other. Hao Yaoqi was even more frightened and begged hurriedly: "Commander Jie is joking, right? With Yi'o's brains and eloquence, what else can he do?"
People are giving lectures? Commander Jie is going to cause misfortune to all those little officers! Let’s say it one by one, this is going to cause misfortune to the future of the Chuang Army. You can’t be kidding.”
In Hao Yaoqi's heart, a person who can be a private school teacher is already worthy of the Wenqu star in the sky. Don't he still know how much he weighs? As far as Hao Yaoqi's brain is concerned, it's not that he is humble, but that he is humble.
I really feel that if I go to that damn Suiying School to give lectures and mislead other students, it would be okay, but if I really ruin Chuangjun’s good talents and ruin Chuangjun’s future and prospects, what should I do?
However, Gao Yigong and Bai Wang thought more. Although their educational level was not high, most of them did know some words. Bai Wang had attended a kindergarten for a year and a half when he was young.
This is not about teaching the Four Books and Five Classics. If we just teach the students in the Camping School the tactics of using troops, the rules of marching, and the methods of setting up camps, then they will feel that they are competent enough.
Bai Wang showed his face and said: "I think there is no problem at all. Even if you don't know a few words for waving flags, and you haven't read any books. But after all, you have ten years of experience on the battlefield. You are like a cavalry commander.
How to organize, how to sort the array of card players, aren't you familiar with these issues?"
Gao Yigong also nodded and said: "Each of us has something we are good at. Even in areas where we are not so good at, with so many years of combat experience, we are always better than those new recruits who have not fought three or five battles.
There is something that can be taught to them.”
The generals sang together and agreed on the matter of the Suiying School. Only Hao Yaoqi thought that he would spend a lot of time giving lectures in the Suiying School and endure such purgatory torture. He couldn't help but show his anger.
The bitter gourd-like expression made Li Laiheng unable to help but laugh secretly.
Bai Jiuhe asked: "Jie Shuai said that this is the first phase of Suiying Academy, so there must be a second phase, a third phase, etc. in the future? I don't know if this is the first phase of Suiying Academy, Jieshuai
Who are you planning to select?"
Li Laiheng hummed and said: "Of course, this is to give priority to selecting the most reliable personnel for training. Soldiers in the former standard army who have parents and children in the old camp can be given priority. If there are soldiers whose fathers and brothers died fighting for our army, they will be given priority."
We must give priority to training.”
"In addition, the veterans with the most seniority among the former Biao soldiers," Fang Yiren added, "should also be included in the priority list."
The most senior veterans of the former Biao Army are naturally the former soldiers of the Little Tigers. The veterans of the Little Tigers are mainly composed of Mizhi Xiangyong who was trained by Li Laiheng. The hidden meaning of Fang Yiren's words is actually to give priority to
Promote Li Laiheng's most direct and trusted soldiers to become officers.
All the generals in the camp were upright and upright people. Gao Yigong and Hao Yaoqi didn't think much about it. Although Bai Wang and Bai Jiuhe heard what Fang Yiren meant, they didn't have much opinion on it.
Everyone unanimously nodded in agreement with Fang Yiren's suggestion.
"Although De'an Prefecture is located in a strategic location, its population and material resources are too small. There are only two to three hundred thousand people in the whole prefecture. Now the counties of Suizhou and Yingshan controlled by the Chuang Army only have one hundred thousand people.
That’s all. Huangzhou, Jingzhou, Wuchang and other densely populated places, or important places that the imperial court will never give up easily and will inevitably compete with me repeatedly, or places where a large number of government troops are stationed and cannot be taken lightly at the moment."
Li Laiheng shook his head. Although the Huguang Army has occupied Suizhou and has achieved a relatively stable development environment, Suizhou has a small area and a sparse population. A mere 100,000 people cannot support the grand plans in Li Laiheng's mind.
Gao Yigong also agreed with this point, saying: "After we implement the policy of sharing grain from farmers in Suizhou, we can only expand the army to about 7,000 to 8,000 people. This is because Lao Bai and others sent a lot of cash.
, the long-term solution must be to attack the outside world."
In fact, it is not easy for Suizhou's manpower and material resources to support an army of about 7,000. Fortunately, Bai Wang brought a lot of food and supplies, and Li Laiheng also gained a lot after robbing the gentry himself, plus Xiao Weisong's manipulation
Kendeji is developing well in Hankou and other places, so Huguang Chuangjun's logistics are temporarily worry-free.
However, if progress cannot be made as soon as possible, 7,000 soldiers and horses will be trapped in Suizhou, and it will be difficult to support themselves with only 100,000 people.
"To the east of Suizhou is the Dabie Mountains, where many officials and gentry have formed strongholds to defend themselves, and are very powerful. Junzhen captured Niuxin Village during this period. Although there has been some progress in the Dabie Mountains, there are originally few people in the Dabie Mountains.
With little land, what we can expand is very limited.”
"And to the west and south, the government and army have heavily deployed troops. Even if they are unable to attack Suizhou, it will always be easy to defend the city."
Fang Yiren said worriedly: "To the south of Suizhou is Anlu. Anlu is not only the capital of De'an Prefecture, but also one of the important strongholds of Yuyi Wuchang. If we attack Anlu, it will be like a decisive battle with Ding Qirui and Song Yihe.
However, in Xiangyang and Chengtian to the west of Suizhou, each one is more critical than the last. Xiangyang is an important military town and is heavily defended, while Chengtian Mansion is where the imperial mausoleum is located. Even if Ding Qirui gives up pursuing Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo, he will definitely return to support Chengtian.
Tianfu."
"There are too few places where we can use our troops!"
