Chapter 424 Enrolling in the military academy is God's chance to reborn!
While riding the horse and pulling the trigger, Ai Yan galloped wildly. The enemies in the way fell down or dodged aside. It turned out that this was the way the Ming army fought. No wonder they had become invincible in recent years.
With the double-barreled gun, the war seems to be much easier. Ai Yan feels that fighting with Ming-style muskets is much more enjoyable than the bow and arrow cavalry shooting he was familiar with before. He is very sure that in the face of the double-barreled gun, the archers on the grassland will not be able to fight.
Even if it's five against one, it won't be an advantage.
"The Sword Comes"
This is just a double-barreled gun. If it is equipped with a six-shot revolver like the one used by the company platoon leader, the advantage will only be more obvious. In the future, I heard that the revolver will be distributed to the squad leader, and I even heard someone say
Ordinary cavalry may be equipped with this kind of gun.
At that time, I am afraid that a brigade of cavalry will be able to dominate the entire grassland without any opponents. Even with the dozen or so brothers currently under his command, Ai Yan feels that it is not difficult to defeat any grassland tribe.
During more than half a year of military training, the officers of the Ming Army were very strict in their control and training, so strict that many men in the grasslands could not resist it. Among them, many of them died because they could not bear the pain.
Some people threatened to quit the military camp, and some even ran away from the military camp. The Ming army had only one way to deal with this kind of thing. As long as you enter the military camp and disobey military orders, you will be severely punished! Become a deserter, unless you can escape from the army.
Pursuit. About 30% of the Mongolian people were beheaded for violating Ming army discipline, and those who were sent to the coolie camp were sent to the coolie camp.
Strict military discipline has a remarkable effect. The Mongols who are still serving in the army are vastly different from when they first joined the army. They are even better than Han soldiers in obeying laws and regulations. Outstanding individuals like Ai Yan not only have good military discipline
, he has a high degree of mastery of combat skills, and he is even proficient in Chinese, and even knows a lot of Chinese characters.
"Ai Yan, the squad you led performed well in this pursuit battle. Not only did they stay in front of the battle, but they also maintained good military discipline. After the battle is judged, I will recommend you to go to the military academy. Now, in addition to attending school during the war,
In addition to snacks, you must not forget about literacy. When the time comes, you must not be stuck because of literacy problems." During the intermission period of the war, Wang Jinbao specially found Ai Yan to explain to him, let him serve snacks, and be optimistic about his future.
After the capture of Datong City in Dianyi, the Military Command Hall has sent them the latest military orders. In the future, they will not have any major wars, but will step up the training of reserve officers.
Next year is of great significance to the construction of the Ming army. Sufficient officers must be reserved to meet the national liberation campaign. In two or three years, the size of the army will be at least three times larger than it is now. If the officer reserves are not in place, the army must be expanded.
There is no way to talk about it. Without grassroots officers in place, forced expansion of the military's combat effectiveness will certainly not be guaranteed.
In fact, after several years of training, the military's talent development system has been basically sound. The learning atmosphere in the military camp is quite strong, and the soldiers are very enthusiastic about literacy. From the first day they entered the military camp, they immediately
They work hard to become literate, make many military exploits, strive to be recommended to the military academy, and have the ambition to have a good future. There are also many people who can barely read and write before joining the army and can barely be considered scholars.
The demobilization and demobilization system, which was officially implemented last year, has had an unprecedented impact on the people. The temptation to join the army, seek a future, and change careers is enough to make the Ming Dynasty, which has been pursuing officialdom and eating the country's food as its fundamental goal for thousands of years,
The people are crazy. Especially for some small and powerful families in the countryside, the attraction is extremely great.
The situation of running military academies with no one available in the past few years has been fundamentally reversed. The only shortcoming is that the quality of the students currently entering the military academies cannot be compared with the batches of trainees when the military academies were first established. The training of military officers in military academies
The cycle needs to be extended to about two years, and the teaching content must be very detailed and involve a lot of very basic content. Even so, the students trained may still not be able to compare with Ma Yuliang's batches. But it is almost enough
Yes, the military cadets being trained now are mainly to solve the gap of grassroots officers. For middle and senior officers, a few batches of cadets will be enough.
The operation of the large system has begun to normalize, but there are still problems in local systems. The problem is mainly concentrated in the insufficient supply of talents in the artillery and engineering departments, and the basic knowledge is relatively poor. Many departments in the navy cannot recruit them.
It is difficult to train suitable health workers, as well as border workers like Ai Yan, and there are too few health workers.
The quota set by Zhu Youjian for the 72nd Division is that each brigade must recommend more than ten qualified Mongolian soldiers to enter the military academy at the beginning of next year. It is precisely because of this hard target that Wang Jinbao targets high-quality seedlings like Ai Yan.
Pay special attention to it. Otherwise, how could the commander in charge of more than 3,000 people care so much about an unrelated squad leader?
"Your Majesty's kindness to your subordinates! If I can't repay you, I will definitely fight to the death on the battlefield to repay your great kindness to you." Ai Yan was indeed very grateful to Wang Jinbao for his support and care.
He knew that he might not be able to accumulate this kind of kindness and opportunity in a few lifetimes! Anyway, on the grassland, people like them would never encounter such a thing in this life.
The military academy is a place where the Emperor of Heaven specializes in training generals. This is Ai Yan’s understanding of the military academy. Because the brigade commanders he often comes into contact with only have the qualifications to be brigade commanders after attending the military academy. Their highest ranking
The military commander had never even led a soldier before entering the military academy. Within a few years after graduating from the military academy, he became a general who led tens of thousands of troops to fight for one side. Most of the platoon commanders, company commanders, and regimental commanders around him were
He graduated from the military academy. Being able to enter the military academy means that God has given him a chance to be reincarnated. What a great blessing this is?
"I don't care whether you repay your kindness or not! As long as you make progress and successfully enter the military academy this time, I will be satisfied. Of course, after entering the military academy, you must remember the kindness Ming Dynasty has shown you.
I am grateful to the emperor for taking care of you. If the principal and his elders had not paid much attention to the border residents who serve in our Ming army, to be honest, given the difficulty of entering the military academy now, even if I strongly recommend you, you may not be able to catch up with such good things."
For Ai Yan, deep down in his heart, Wang Jinbao did not have any special feelings of care. Comrade Lao Wang paid attention to Ai Yan. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to complete his own target tasks.
Although it seems that it is not difficult for a brigade to recommend ten qualified students, in reality it is really not easy. The entire brigade, like Ai Yan, who has performed well in all aspects and can basically meet the admission standards of the military academy, has really succeeded so far.
I can't find a few. Can I get ten by the beginning of next year? Wang Jinbao is really unsure. At this point, Wang Jinbao only has some suspicions about two or three people, including Ai Yan.
