After coming out of the palace, Xu Caining did not go directly to his small building in Dingguogong's mansion. Instead, he stayed in his own Qingyuan Building all night, and went straight to Zhouzhuang early the next morning.
Being summoned by the emperor was naturally a major event, but this was not the only purpose of her return to Beijing. Before leaving Yan'an Mansion, Jiang Wan also ordered her to bring Zhao Yuan's needs to Yan'an Mansion in addition to returning.
Li Fuyao has recruited and trained many new people in the past six months. These new people are extremely important new blood of Nanhai Guard. It is undoubtedly necessary to bring them back to replenish Nanhai Guard.
.
Although it has been expanded into Nanhaiwei, the original model in Tingyulou has not been completely abandoned by Jiang Wan. Zhouzhuang has also been operating under the auspices of Li Fuyao, and Nanhaiwei recruited Nanhaizi.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, the best of these soldiers will be selected for further training in Zhouzhuang.
These further trainings are not just the skills that ordinary soldiers need on the battlefield. In addition to the basic skills needed in combat such as fighting formations, command flags, and so on, how to manage soldiers, how to command battles, and even how to harass and spy behind enemy lines
, poisoning, as well as strategies related to battle formation strategy, how to judge the battlefield situation and what tactics to adopt, and how to lead the army to camp and march, have also become the learning content of these outstanding people.
Of course, this also includes the training and operation of firearms, as well as tactical learning such as how to use infantry and cavalry to cooperate with firearms combat.
Although the scale was small, Jiang Wan had already made precise plans for this aspect when he left. He even left a few of the firearms instructors he originally invited from Haojing'ao in Zhouzhuang.
This is simply a military academy with basic functions, a junior officer school. And now, in this armed academy, nearly a hundred students who have studied for half a year and are already ready to graduate have already
I can't wait to rush to the battlefield.
When they were selected to Zhouzhuang, these trainees knew very well that they were already one step ahead of their peers, who were still serving as ordinary soldiers in the army for a monthly salary of two taels of silver.
When they are complacent, when they come out of Zhouzhuang, once they enter the army, they start with a small flag.
Among them, the outstanding ones may not even become the general flag in the army.
It turns out that many students are worried that with so many of them in Zhouzhuang, even if they pass all the studies, training, etc. and enter the army, there will not be enough places to place them in the army. After all, Nanhaiwei only has four to five thousand people, and one person
There is a hole in the carrot, and they are waiting for a vacancy to fill it, which is very good.
There are even some people who have made plans to stay at the camps in Zhouzhuang or Nanhaizi and try to serve as instructors to train new people in case there is no place.
However, news from Shaanxi came from time to time, and they also knew that the current Nanhaiwei army has expanded to five thousand households, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is understandable that these students are excited. The expansion of the army means that
The army needs a large number of officers. Those who were trained in Zhouzhuang are definitely better than the newly recruited soldiers in terms of loyalty and skills. In the army, even if they start from a small banner, the chance of promotion is limited.
Much bigger than before.
Most of the news comes from the mouths of people around Miss Li, but no one doubts whether the news is true. Although Miss Li is only the steward of Zhouzhuang, everyone knows that when the commander is away,
When we were in the capital, Miss Li could make the decision in Nanhai Wei.
Every morning, routine training in Zhouzhuang is a must. In addition to unified physical training, students have their own teachings to lead them to learn different contents. It is said that this is a rule passed down from before. The rules have not changed, but no matter the teaching
Both the students and I have changed a lot.
The ones that haven't changed are probably Li Fuyao, who has always been in charge here, and Su Qian'er and others beside her!
Xiaojiu is still Xiaojiu, but the baby fat on her face has reduced a lot, and she seems to have grown a lot taller. Especially obvious, her manners and demeanor are compared to the squeaky little girl two years ago, but
He has matured a lot.
Now she has a real appearance of a green girl. Among the students in Zhouzhuang, she has long become a goddess or something like a goddess in the hearts of many people. It's a pity that Xiaojiu has never seen such silly things in her eyes.
guys.
Today's Xiaojiu is working hard to be a well-mannered girl like Su Qianqian. It is very rare to see her startled and angry. However, this morning, on the school grounds,
The hundreds of people who were practicing all had their eyes opened.
So much so that when a fluttering red cloud ran past them, they looked at each other and asked their companions with their eyes. They couldn't believe that the one who just passed in front of them was the one who had always been quiet.
Quiet little girl.
However, they soon found out why Miss Xiaojiu was like this.
The gate of Zhuangzi opened, and a group of dusty soldiers came out surrounded by a man who looked like a general. The person leading the way in front of them should be their companions who were standing guard at the gate of Zhuangzi. At this time, everyone could see that,
The faces of the companions turned red, and they looked like they were too excited to control themselves.
The instructors were stunned for a moment, and then they rushed forward one after another, greeted each other, and even greeted each other enthusiastically. The students opened their ears and listened to the vague words "Commander Sir" and "Yan'an Mansion" coming from the wind.
With similar words and sentences, everyone suddenly became excited.
This is someone from Shaanxi who came back to Zhouzhuang to ask for someone!
Xu Caining looked around the school grounds and nodded with satisfaction. Such a vibrant scene could not be seen in Yan'an Mansion. It was just that compared with the training scene in Yan'an Mansion, it lacked a trace of iron-bloodedness.
smell!
But that doesn't matter, just take it out and sharpen it.
A teacher in front of her who seemed familiar to her said something to her. She smiled and nodded. She knew that the other person was not necessarily enthusiastic about her. They just wanted to know the news from Yan'an Mansion. She didn't even know what was happening in front of her.
What is the name of the teaching? Anyway, it must be the old man from Nanhaiwei in the past.
"Sister Fuyao should be here soon, and Miss Xiaojiu should have gone to report just now!" The instructor said to Xu Caining: "Master Xu, would you like to inspect the drills of our brothers, or should you go to the hall to take a rest?"
Xu Caining raised his head. Someone was already walking towards him from a distance. The little girl in red next to that person was particularly conspicuous.
"You are busy with your business!" Xu Caining waved his hand: "I have something to talk to Manager Li. I'll check it out when I get the chance!"
