Chapter 160 Provoking the main force of the 100,000 Qing army
If there is a problem with the student resources of the General School Hall, the construction of the new army will enter a period of stagnation. Since the school was launched, including the people from the avant-garde infantry camp of the Fu Army who were sent some time ago, the General School Hall has recruited more than 4,000 students in total.
According to the minimum standard of four officers per 100 people, if this number of people is fully calculated, it is enough to support the construction of 100,000 new troops. Adding battle losses, it may only be able to build 890,000 new troops.
It is not a big problem to have 80,000 to 90,000 people to defend and counterattack near the capital and Beizhi. But if we want to destroy the rogue bandits and pacify the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is definitely not enough. To completely solve the problem of rogue bandits, we really have to use Yang Sichang's method of encirclement and interception.
Not to mention the new army, which is mainly infantry. Even if it is all cavalry, 80,000 people can't catch up with the rogue bandits who have turned into the wind. Wasn't it because Yang Sichang was not maneuverable enough that he was made up by Zhang Xianzhong and others?
A joke?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but think of Yang Sichang. To be honest, the person who suffered the most from his predecessor was not Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, but Yang Sichang. Objectively speaking, he was the most qualified person in the Ming Dynasty in the past few decades.
Minister of the Ministry of War. From the perspective of the responsibilities of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has done as well as possible.
After Yang Sichang was tricked and killed, it was not easy to find someone who met the requirements for the position of Minister of War. Chen Xinjia, for example, could not compare with Yang Sichang in terms of strategic vision and defense planning.
People have been dead for several years. It won't help to think about these people anymore. Let's go back to how to solve the crisis of life! The source of life is exhausted. In a short time, there seems to be no good way to solve it. Although the standard is not high, the entire Ming Dynasty is really good.
It is difficult to find people who meet the criteria.
In the Ming Dynasty, there are fewer people with martial arts skills, but they can still be found. There are even more people who are literate and proficient in writing. Hundreds of thousands should not be a problem, but there are really few people who are proficient in both riding and writing.
It's pitiful. The deceptive system has made the vast majority of scholars have no interest in participating in martial arts, so there are only a few exceptions.
Nowadays, even if the literati are willing to enter the general school hall, it is too late to sharpen their guns before the battle. Riding can block the way for most people to enter the general school hall! Riding a horse may look simple, but in practice it is extremely difficult.
Well, the generals of the new army do not really have high requirements for riding skills, but they must at least be able to shoot on horseback and charge simply on horseback to command battles, right? It is true that they are leading infantry, but the generals must be able to ride horses. This is the current era of military officers.
Qualities that must be possessed.
Riding skills block the way for scholars to become junior military attachés, while cultural knowledge blocks the way for ordinary soldiers to grow into junior military attachés. The cultural knowledge requirements for junior military attachés are not high, and they are not required to understand poetry, lyrics, and songs. They are not illiterate and can read
For military orders, simply being able to write and have a flexible mind is enough. But this requirement is a huge obstacle for front-line soldiers who are basically illiterate.
The thing is like this. The two basic qualities that are not very demanding are surprisingly few in the huge Ming Dynasty. Whether it is training officers from frontline soldiers or recruiting scholars into the general academy for systematic training, at least three
It will take about a year. In other words, if you make up your mind to solve this problem from now on, it will be possible to achieve results after three years. Three years is really too luxurious for the current Zhu Youjian.
"Founderization. From now on, all those who score more than 30 points in the written examination will be admitted to Jiangxuetang. However, they cannot teach according to the original standards of Jiangxuetang. They will have to take a half-year basic intensive course. These do not meet the established standards.
The students who enter the school must undergo six months of systematic teaching. After passing the assessment, they can be integrated into the original teaching sequence and receive high-level military education. Those who fail to pass will be eliminated. If they intend to join the new army and become ordinary soldiers,
It's okay." He called Fang Zhenghua and others and arranged the latest admissions regulations for them.
The standard of officers cannot be lowered any further. If it is lowered further, it is better to be promoted from frontline soldiers. The cultural knowledge of frontline soldiers is indeed very poor, but they have combat experience and can be promoted to platoons reluctantly. Company-level military officers can still make do with it.
In the Qing army, most of the lower-level generals among some military leaders were illiterate. Wouldn't it be wrong to use the same method? The reason why literate sergeants are used as lower-level generals is not because their combat literacy is naturally better than that of illiterate soldiers.
Officials are strong, but because these people can manage grassroots combat teams fairly well without going through long-term war training. The role of military schools is not to train famous generals and powerful generals. The role of military schools is to train a large number of people with basic skills.
Military literacy of grassroots generals. To put it bluntly, the purpose of establishing a general school is to improve the overall baseline of new army officers.
"Liu Lishun asked the Attendant's Office to draft a decree and send it to all units above the platoon level in the New Army. No matter how busy the war is, we must not relax the literacy teaching subjects for soldiers. Even if there are no conditions on the front line, we must find ways to create conditions.
My requirement for the new army is that after joining the army for two years, they must complete the literacy task. Literacy rate is one of the important criteria for officer promotion and cannot be slacked off. I have also sent a message to the young army camp of the Yongwei Battalion. The training standards of the young army are strictly in accordance with the standards of the general academy.
No discounts can be made on the execution, I will personally keep an eye on this matter, and the attendant’s office must also arrange for someone to keep an eye on this matter, there is no room for slacking off!”
Liu Lishun was formerly a member of Zhan Shifu. Later, when the prince went south, some people from Zhan Shifu stayed in the capital. When the attendant's office was established, the cabinet sent these idle people into the attendant's office. Anyway, they were the most suitable in terms of level.
When Zhu Youjian was arranging the work in the attendant's room, he found that Liu Lishun was flexible and organized, so he asked him to do some things that a big secretary would do, and he was regarded as an administrative assistant.
The problem cannot be solved in a short time, so we must be prepared for a protracted war, starting from the children, starting from the front line, who let the ancestors of the Lao Zhu family only leave so much wealth? This has caused this
The situation is still related to Comrade Lao Zhu's thinking of saving money. Whether it was a civilian official or a military official, Lao Zhu gave some policies and then let the people themselves take care of basic education. Then after nearly three hundred years of
Development, things went off track. I don’t know why, when Lao Zhu first started his business, how could the people have accumulated so many outstanding generals. Not only Lao Zhu himself is a historical oddity, but the generals under him are basically ancient and modern
A group of famous generals with the lowest backgrounds in history. But this group of poor people from the south created a miracle of driving out the Tartars and restoring China. Some people could even drive across the desert to fight on horseback with the Mongols without falling behind.
Zhu Youjian, who was not as lucky as Lao Zhu, could only use stupid methods to solve the problem. Just as he was preparing to launch a basic military education project, Cao Ruohai, who was out of the border to fight, received an urgent military report. The Manchu Qing sent Youdoer
The 100,000-strong army led by Gun's eldest brother, Azige, had already come into contact with Cao Ruohai's ministry. The 100,000-strong Qing army suddenly appeared outside the pass, which Zhu Youjian did not expect.
