As soon as he shouted softly, there was a moment of silence in front of the gate of the Great Qin Protectorate Academy. Then, the military commanders and county guards stood upright in the martial arts field in front of them, holding their hands and fists, and said solemnly.
Thinking about what the king said, this academy was specially established for the military, not for the Jixia Academy that encompasses hundreds of schools of thought. It seems that there is only one family, that is - the military strategist, who wants to completely inherit the military strategist.
Integrate into the military.
From now on, the inheritance of military strategists will no longer be a secret to the Qin army. Thinking of this, many generals on the martial arts field rose up from ordinary old Qin people, and the guarding generals looked delighted.
As for those military generals who have a strong military heritage, their hearts sank. If this is the case, what is the use of the military mysteries they have inherited? What else can they rely on?
"Great Qin Protectorate Academy!"
"There will be a cavalry hall, which will be taught by my old Qin cavalry general; there will be an infantry hall, which will be taught by my old Qin infantry general; there will be an ordnance hall, which will be taught by the general's Shaofu branch.
Send out some capable people to study weapons intensively!"
"All the arms of the Xia army, all the tactics of the Xia army, and all the strategies of the Xia army will be presented one by one in our Great Qin Protector Academy. This academy will be directly governed by the important ministers of the oligarchy, but there are
Those who have made meritorious deeds will also be crowned kings!"
"Today the Academy has just been established. You and I are all generals in our Great Qin Army. You should speak freely to clear up the confusion in the Academy. When you return, I hope that the name of the Academy of Protecting the Nation of Great Qin will spread throughout Qin and abroad!
"
In the past, more than a hundred years ago, before the reform, Lord Shang explained the essence of the reform to the old gentry in the capital temple. Although the old gentry were still opposed, they won the support of Duke Xiao and other officials.
Today, the same is true.
This Great Qin Protectorate Academy has just been established. If it wants to truly operate, it must be recognized by the generals in the army. If they have no opinions, it means that the entire Great Qin army has no opinions.
Turning around and looking at the plaque of the Great Qin National Protectorate Academy, Qin Wangzheng was in a surging mood. His mind flashed with the idea that in the future, generals would walk out of the academy, lead the soldiers of the Great Qin, and plant the Black Dragon Flag of the Great Qin in every corner of Zhuxia.
.
On the high platform of the stairs, the King of Qin was in official uniform and crowned, waiting for the response of the generals below. The civil and military ministers behind him looked at each other without saying anything. Although they also had some doubts in their hearts, they were not involved in important positions in the army after all.
"I have met my king, the last general of Nanyang County, Ye Hou. Since the academy is established, I wonder if we can enter the academy in the future and listen to the wisdom of military strategists?"
After a few breaths, a young man wearing heavy red armor walked out of the group of county guards and came to Nanyang County, which is now the area under the control of Ye Teng, the governor of Nanyang in the Qin State.
He came forward and bowed, speaking in a deep voice, with a hint of hope on his face.
He is a member of the distant tribe of Nanyang who guards Ye Teng. Because of his small military exploits, he was valued by Ye Teng and gradually promoted to the position of guard. Now that he heard that the king established this academy, Ye Hou was excited. For hundreds of years, his family has been
The inheritance is lost.
If it is possible to regain the military heritage in the academy, it should be regarded as an immortal part of the family.
"How can a military strategist reveal his valuable weapons to others so easily?"
"However, Marquis Wu Zhen once advised me that from the day the Great Qin Academy was established, thereafter, all those who were promoted to captain or above in the army could enter the palace to observe the important weapons of military strategists. The higher the military rank, the more likely they would be able to study in the academy.
The longer you stay.”
"I hope that all the generals of the Great Qin Army will have this opportunity!"
Qin Wangzheng did not leave the important task of solving doubts to Zhou Qing, nor to Wei Liao, nor to the general Wang Jian. He had to do this himself, because what he said was the will of Qin.
"Thank you very much, my king. I will definitely live up to my king's expectations!"
Ye Hou's face was even more excited. There seemed to be a few good talents in his clan who would be promoted to captains of thousands in the future. It was only a matter of time. If there was such an opportunity, he would be willing to offset it with military merit.
The military merit belongs to one person, but the gains belong to the entire family. After saying that, he slowly returned to his original position.
"I have seen my king, and at the end of the day he went to the county guard general Ying Qi. I wonder who is pregnant in the palace?"
Ying Qi is a distant branch of the Ying Qin clan and is stationed in Shangjun. Although he is far from the king, his promotion is easier than others. After all, the blood of the Ying Qin clan flows in his body.
The king said a lot just now, but Ying Qi is still a little confused. Since they are not the main generals in the academy, does the place where the guard generals stay have to be trained from ordinary people?
If so, then... you have to prepare in advance.
"I have decided that eight levels of pregnant women in the academy will be selected from ordinary old Qin people and from all major counties and counties in the Qin State. The selection requirements will be issued by the Guowei Mansion. As long as they feel capable,
All students can first pass the county primary election and then enter the entrance hall selection."
"If possible, you should enter the Great Qin Protector Academy. The remaining two floors are reserved for ordinary soldiers of the Great Qin Army. If you perform well and are brave and good at fighting, you can also enter the palace. Specific requirements will also be awarded by the Imperial Palace!"
"There will be nine courtyards in the Academy. Each courtyard has a quota of 120 people every year. The best ones will be selected. Great Qin does not need the weak!"
Nine courtyards, each with 120 people, totaling 1,080 people!
Perhaps one thousand and eighty people are too few for the entire Da Qin and the Da Qin army. Now Da Qin has nearly twenty counties. If you divide it down, there are only dozens of people in each county!
After the selection by the Academy, some counties may have even fewer people. For the hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers in the Qin Dynasty, the number of more than 200 people on two levels is even less.
But as mentioned before, how can a military strategist show off his valuable weapons to others easily? Education in the academy is to cultivate truly strong people. If you cannot enter the academy, you can only be because you are not strong enough.
Looking at Ying Qi, Qin Wangzheng had some impressions of this person. After all, he was in the Ying Qin clan, so he still took it to heart.
"When will it be available?"
Ying Qi asked again, as long as education is needed, learning will naturally take place. In today's military strategist inheritance, if you want to obtain the mastery of military strategism, it can take as short as three to five years, or as long as seven or eight years.
This question was also asked by other generals present.
"Wu Zhenhou recommended that for three years, during this period, all their training in the academy will be five times or ten times better than the current training at Lantian Camp. Adding military strategies, three years will be enough."
"But I feel that if there are those who consciously succeed in learning, they should be able to go through consideration and get the silver book of the academy awarded by me, and officially leave the academy!"
King Qin nodded and said, three years is enough time.
In three years, they will learn everything a reserve army general should have in the academy. Only by passing the final assessment can they be released from the academy. If they fail, they will continue to be in the academy.
Thinking that everyone at the same time had left the academy and he was still in the academy, Qin Wangzheng thought that this would be a good encouragement method for all the old Qin people who considered themselves the strongest.
"People who leave the academy are just like ordinary soldiers?"
Ying Qi asked again.
Your Majesty spent so much effort training new soldiers and making them proficient in military strategy. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like training ordinary old Qin soldiers. But if you say that you can rise to the sky in one step, it will definitely not be in the same position as them.
possible.
"Those who leave the academy are awarded titles and hairpins."
"Enter the army, with the same rank as a centurion."
"Promoted, preferred!"
On this question, Qin Wangzheng said that if he wants the old Qin people to compete for admission to the palace, then they must have enough attraction power. The title of hairpin is ranked in the third level of military merit, which is very inconspicuous.
.
But after joining the army, he was directly given the position of centurion. With what he has learned in the three years in the academy, he is not qualified to be a centurion. If he takes over the military battle, if he has merit, he will be the best choice.
"Hairpin!"
"Centurion!"
“Preferred!”
In an instant, the expressions of more than a hundred generals on the martial arts field in front of the entire academy changed. These... three rewards, no matter which one they are, are definitely what ordinary soldiers long for.
In the army, if you want to get the title of hairpin, you have to kill more than twenty people or have the same meritorious service. Even if you get the title, you can't immediately become a centurion in the army.
Secondly, if they understand correctly, what the king means is that from now on, when promoting generals in the Great Qin Army, priority will be given to generals who have come out of the academy.
If this is true, I am afraid that in ten years' time, most of the generals in the Qin Dynasty will be from the academy. Coupled with the king's attention, it is not impossible that there will be candidates for generals in the future.
Your Majesty...Isn't it too much to treat people from the Academy?
"Your Majesty, is this move unfair to the ordinary soldiers in our current army in Great Qin?"
"They are also from the Old Qin Dynasty, and they also have the heart to protect the country. But because they joined the army before the Academy was established, they missed the grand events of the Academy. How will they compare with the people from the Academy next?"
Later, before Ying Qi had retreated, a man in brown heavy armor walked out from the group of generals in the army. He looked middle-aged and had a calm expression. He came forward and bowed, his voice slightly lowered.
With this move by the king, wouldn't it mean that he has directly abandoned the hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers in the Qin army today?
Instead, they were only given two levels of quota.
If we wait until the people from the academy appear, how can they, as ordinary soldiers and centurions, compare with the people from the academy who accept the strategies of various military strategists? They feel dissatisfied and speak slowly.
"Who?"
Qin Wangzheng's expression remained unchanged and he looked down.
"The last general is Bai Jun, the infantry commander of the camp outside the pass!"
Bai Jun cupped his fists and saluted.
"I will never forget the soldiers of the old Qin Dynasty. I naturally know the beauty of the academy."
"There are already two levels of quota reserved for the army every year. If some old Qin soldiers feel that the quota is small, then I think I can exchange military merit for the qualification to stay in the academy temporarily. Although there is a time limit, the income is generally the same.
"
"Not being able to occupy one of the two-tier places already shows some shortcomings, but I am still willing to give them a chance!"
Qin Wangzheng stared at Bai Jun. What he said was an obstacle to the opening of the Great Qin Academy. There were hundreds of thousands of old Qin soldiers, and there were more than 200 quotas a year. It was very difficult for Qin Wangzheng to compete for them. Qin Wangzheng could imagine.
If the remaining entrances were directly blocked, it would really chill the soldiers of the old Qin Dynasty. Since they wanted to come in, they could exchange military honors for it. If they wanted to become people from the academy, it would be impossible without paying a certain price.
