Dong Shuheng actually had great expectations for the Junior Military Academy. The children cultivated under this model are more pure.
They do not have their own family constraints. They will not be affected by their families like other people.
They are completely trained by the country, and the country is the most important thing in their hearts. Maybe they will start their own families in the future and be recruited by in-law families.
But at least at the beginning, all they had in their hearts was their own passion.
In the future, these people will become an important force in China's military and political system when they enter the workplace.
After the establishment of China, Dong Shuheng sorted out the current upper-level forces in China.
There are now two major forces in China's military system: some are generals from the Huai Navy, who were originally brought out by Dong Shuheng from northern Jiangsu. These people now basically occupy most of the middle and high-level officer positions, and most of them have passed through
Study in military academy.
The other part is the people recruited by Dong Shuheng alone, including people from the original Tiandihui and some old Manchu scholars and military generals. Yan Shikun, Zuo Jigao, and Peng Yulin are representatives of these people. However, Yan Shikun and Peng Yulin have nothing in the army.
foundation.
Yan Shikun is better off. Many of his subordinates now serve as senior staff officers in the army. Together with the Prussian officer corps, they form the army's staff department. They are considered a small force.
Zuo Jigao's Hubei army is a relatively independent faction, and the main body of the current Western Region Army is also composed of them.
So Dong Shuheng sent Wang Congzhi to the Western Regions and brought two main divisions with him.
The First Division in particular is the veteran main force in the Renaissance Army. There are many talents in the army, and they will all grow up in the future.
Officers promoted by the Hubei Army are now being sent to rear military academies in batches to undergo systematic training.
It is impossible to have no factions in the army. The so-called "no gangs" and "no factions" are full of strange things.
Factions in the military are bound to exist, but they must be controlled within a certain range. This is what Dong Shuheng wants to do.
At present, the largest faction in the military is still the former Huaihai Navy regiment training who came from the military academy. They are also divided into two parts: one is promoted from the military and officers trained by the military academy, and the other is from the guard company around Dong Shuheng.
Dong Shuheng had always used his guard company as a martial arts hall with him. In the past two years, many generals had gone out, and they formed a small team headed by Cai Shusen.
Cai Shusen will soon become Dong Shuheng's brother-in-law. He and Dong Shuheng's eldest sister Dong Shuyun have already been in love with each other.
It's just that both of them concealed it well and only communicated through letters.
It was Liu Mingyuan who told him about this matter recently. It turned out that Cai Shusen entrusted Liu Mingyuan to act as a matchmaker.
Cai Shusen originally came from the Dong family's business firm, so it was perfect to find Liu Mingyuan to help with matchmaking.
Later, Dong Shuheng first asked his sister’s opinion.
Given Shuyun's temperament, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
But this also shows her attitude.
Dong Shuheng finally agreed to this matter and solved the eldest sister's marriage issue. What about the younger second sister who still doesn't know what to do?
But that girl has gone crazy to Europe now. Dong Shuheng can't control her for the time being.
Last time at the Summer Palace, Dong Shuheng couldn't resist the persuasion of the crazy girl and finally found a way to get him to go out with Liu Qingbei's delegation. But after arriving in Europe, Wang Tao would take over and arrange for her.
When Shumei left, she took many managers of the Yunmei Group with her. She threatened to take the Yunmei Group to Europe.
Dong Shuheng will not care about these things, let this girl go crazy.
The Bai family has no objection to Shuyun's marriage. Cai Shusen is now an important general in the army, guarding the most important Gyeonggi area. Such a status is also acceptable with Shuyun.
What's more, Cai Shusen is a talented person, but the only thing is that he comes from a humble background, but there are not many people in the Renaissance Army who have high backgrounds.
The Dong family's original social status was not high.
Now the Renaissance Army is gradually moving towards regularization, and all generals who will join the army in the future will come from military academies.
Even officers promoted from among the soldiers must undergo military school education.
Naturally, there will be a systematic teaching in military schools, which not only teaches military theory, but also provides patriotism education.
In this way, the Renaissance Army will gradually enter the role of the national army and eliminate its warlord character.
Although Dong Shuheng will vigorously promote and train people he values in the military, he does not want to engage in personality worship.
He knew that if he cultivated a personality cult, his generals would imitate his example and follow suit.
In this case, China's army will continue to become warlords. On the surface, a warlord's army is loyal to one person, but in fact it is composed of many small warlords.
If you look at Beiyang in history, you will know that the generals in Beiyang were Yuan Shikai's confidants at the beginning, and they were definitely loyal to Yuan Shikai.
But when Yuan Shikai became emperor, his character collapsed. At this time, those who stood up to oppose him were also these once most loyal subordinates.
After Yuan Shikai's death, his former subordinates became big warlords, and then these big warlords' subordinates were still small warlords.
Naturally, there will be no warlords in China. First of all, China has achieved the separation of military and political affairs. At the same time, the army has a complete rotation system and a training system for officers.
In fact, what Dong Shuheng is most worried about is China's administrative system. The training of administrative personnel is actually much more difficult than the training of military officers.
Because in actual situations, the problems that administrators have to deal with are more complicated.
Some of the current administrative personnel in Huaxia are from the people originally recruited by Dong Shuheng when he established the Huaihai Navy. Many of these people were managers of commercial banks and had certain management capabilities. Some were later recruited from the lower-level literati.
The main components of these lower-level literati were the staff and officials in the original Qing Dynasty bureaucracy. These people had very strong administrative abilities.
But these people also have their own bad qualities, and some individuals are lacking in personal qualities. Now under China's strong supervision system, these people are still very peaceful, but they are not the future of China's administrative system.
Dong Shuheng knew this very well, so he vigorously built the academy, hoping to use the academy to cultivate more new talents.
At the same time, in the process of unification, he also absorbed some local Manchu officials with excellent ethics and governance abilities.
These people are capable and noble in character, but they are still mainly conservative in their thinking.
In the subsequent official recruitment examinations, most of the candidates admitted were old literati.
Newcomers in the academy have only gradually entered the administrative system since last year, but their status is generally not high.
Dong Shuheng didn't want to encourage others, he would let these people gain experience step by step from the grassroots level.
He has always been worried that the government will reverse the course of history and put China back on the old feudal path.
This is different from Dong Shuheng's idea. He hopes that in the past few years, China's industry and commerce will make a qualitative leap.
Without a certain economic foundation, all upper-level ideas are out of the question.
Dong Shuheng, who has studied Ma Zhengjing, knows this very well.
Now that I think about it, among the courses in universities and middle schools, only the most boring course of horse politics and economics is the most useful one.
It can be said that Dong Shuheng is a horse who governs the world through politics and economics.
The current academy education in China cannot be regarded as a completely new type of education, but the knowledge taught in it is much richer than before.
There is also China's administrative bureaucracy, which works from the bottom up.
Officials have a low starting point and large room for advancement. Most people climb up from the grassroots level step by step.
Therefore, there are no officials who cannot do things well.
Why did the Manchu Qing Dynasty rule the world with subordinate officials? It was not because the Manchu Qing officials were top-down.
They recruit people through stereotyped writing and rise to the top in one step. If such people have no experience as local staff, they will know almost nothing when they get to the local government.
What can such a person do when he gets there? Naturally, he leaves everything to the master and the subordinates.
There is no room for advancement in the official career of masters and subordinates. How can such people not be corrupt and accept bribes? If they are not greedy for money, what do they want?
Most people, especially smart people, have a strong purpose in doing things.
Nowadays, if local governments want to make money, they must prey on the common people. Big households have their own backgrounds, and subordinate officials dare not offend them.
Ordinary officials are very concerned about their own image when their careers are on the rise.
Therefore, in the local area, it is not the officials who are corrupt, but the staff and subordinates.
And the euphemistic name officials get is just the filial piety of these people.
If an official can restrain his staff and subordinates, then he is considered a good official.
Such a vicious administrative ecosystem was formed between the officials and subordinate staff under the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Most of the famous officials during the Westernization Movement came from the Hunan Army lineage. Most of these people rose to power with military merit, but most of them had little fame.
Many of them were originally staff members, and some were born as laborers.
These people were not Jinshi, but they did a lot of great things in the final stage of the late Qing Dynasty.
Some even say that it was the Westernization Movement that ushered in China's modern industrialization.
There is no need to worry about whether these conclusions are right or wrong. Those officials who gained military merit have indeed made a lot of contributions.
Why do subordinate staff and staff stop preying on the people after they become officials, and instead benefit one party?
This is because their identities have changed. After becoming officials, they have new pursuits.
This pursuit exceeds the temptation of money. As long as the upward channel is kept open, their motivation can be maintained.
Therefore, the best weapon in fighting corruption is to provide officials with a healthy upward path.
Those officials who are about to retire are the most likely to fall into corruption traps.
The people in the Chinese government now are such a group of people. When the Huaihai Navy was first established.
Dong Shuheng asked the Ministry of Manpower at that time to recruit a group of literati with staff experience. They were the first batch of professional administrative personnel in China.
Later, Zeng Xianfeng defected to Dong Shuheng, Huai Haijun established a military government, and Huai Haijun began to absorb a large number of lower-level literati and capable staff.
Give them equal treatment. Establish a clear-level administrative system from clerks to military prime ministers, and establish a bottom-up official training model.
Most officials start as ordinary clerks and then work their way up the ranks.
Huaihai Navy also has a scientific quantitative assessment mechanism that can reflect the overall performance of officials as objectively as possible.
Let the promotion channels for officials be as fair and fair as possible.
Now graduates of the academy are gradually integrated into the Chinese bureaucracy.
The joining of these people has greatly enhanced the vitality of the Chinese administrative system. It has put pressure on those officials who were originally from the old literati.
For example, young people like Du Hui, Ding Honglin, Luo Zhengchu, Lu Bin, Jiang Yuqin... After studying in the academy, their knowledge and knowledge are far superior to those of the old literati.
Du Hui was able to stand out as soon as he entered the Ministry of Water Resources, not only because of the care of his teacher Feng Daoli.
What's more, he has a good grasp of the knowledge of water conservancy construction, which can support him to solve various problems.
The hope of the Chinese administrative system still lies in the academy. Therefore, Dong Shuheng has always been very concerned about the construction of the academy.
Wei Yuan, a Chinese boss, devoted himself wholeheartedly to building a new type of education.
Huaihai Academy is a model and an exploration.
Nowadays, most of the construction of academies in China are imitated by Huaihai Academy.
Of course, there are also many academies that are very distinctive and have preserved their traditions.
For example, Yuelu Academy, chaired by Zeng Disheng, is a famous academy with a long history.
Yuelu Academy itself has many fine traditions.
For example, Yuelu Academy has always attached great importance to practical learning and cultivating students' ability to think for themselves. Students from Yuelu Academy have strong knowledge and critical thinking skills.
Most of these people go to politics.
In the latest official recruitment examination, students from Yuelu Academy had the highest admission rate, even surpassing Huaihai Academy.
They established their reputation in one fell swoop. Their free school-running model was also imitated by many local academies.
However, in terms of overall strength, Huaihai Academy is still the well-deserved number one in China.
It's just that a liberal arts-oriented academy like Yuelu Academy had a slight advantage in the official recruitment examination.
Dong Shuheng left Yangzhou and took him to Jiangning.
Jiangning also served as a temporary administrative center for the Renaissance Army.
But because the time was short, not much changed here.
At the beginning, Dong Shuheng moved here because all the buildings in Jiangning City were newly built by the Taiping Army.
Now everything here has been transferred to Jiangsu Province and has become the capital center of Jiangsu Province.
Even the original presidential palace became the seat of the provincial government of Jiangsu Province.
Other buildings and facilities in the city have also become schools or government offices.
This place has not become depressed because of the withdrawal of the headquarters.
On the contrary, due to the continuous restoration of social order, Jiangning City gradually revealed its former prosperity.
