Chapter 412 Zhending Military Academy and Female Students
Chapter 412 Zhending Military Academy and Female Cadets
Liang Hongyu smiled awkwardly, and sat there chatting casually with Zhu Lian. She did not have an urgent need to see Wang Lin immediately, but wanted to obtain a place in the military academy for the female army under her command.
There is no doubt that the purpose of Zhending Military Academy is to cultivate middle and lower-level officers for various armies. Of course, in time, it will definitely become the cradle of senior generals.
Thousands of female soldiers also need many middle- and lower-level managers. Since women can join the army, why can't they go to military academies? This is Liang Hongyu's idea.
The Zhending Military Academy is about to open.
In addition to military and martial arts subjects, the school also teaches liberal arts. For many young generals in the army, this is definitely an opportunity to rise from the ashes.
The first batch of enrollment quota is 500 people, and Wang Lin estimates that it can be expanded to 1,000 people next year.
In three years, two thousand middle and lower-level officers with high comprehensive quality were trained, which is of great and far-reaching significance for improving the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
The Military Academy was rebuilt from the Longquan Temple in the original Zhengding Prefecture.
Longquan Temple was destroyed by the Jin invasion and the monks fled.
The plaque of "Zhending Military Academy" inscribed by Wang Lin himself has been hung up, and fifty military instructors, martial arts instructors and liberal arts instructors drawn from various armies have been put in place.
The military academy implements a fully closed boarding system and military management.
In Wang Lin's eyes, this is the Song Dynasty version of Whampoa Military Academy.
The setting of military academy teaching subjects, the setting of teaching content and the compilation of teaching materials, the establishment and management model of military academy institutions...basically Wang Lin put forward the leading opinions, and Yue Fei refined and perfected them.
Of course, the opinions and suggestions of Han Shizhong and other generals were also widely solicited.
Wang Lin personally served as the principal of the military academy.
Yue Fei is appointed as the vice principal, and Ma Kuo is appointed as the chief teacher.
Zhang Jun and Liu Qi serve as vice presidents, of which Liu Qi is the executive vice president.
The above are all part-time jobs.
In short, Liu Qi is the one who really manages the military academy for the time being. Everyone else is only in place when teaching.
Of course, managing the military academy is just one of Liu Qi's daily tasks. At least half of his main energy must be devoted to the affairs of the commander's mansion.
The first batch of trainees were recommended by each military force, and after selection examinations and interviews, 500 people were finally selected as the first batch of trainees.
Regarding female students, whether it is Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, or the public opinion in the military, they are actually strongly opposed.
It is mainly influenced by secular culture.
The establishment of a female army under Wang Lin was a shocking move. Because many of Wang Lin's family members were current female generals with strong martial arts skills, the military maintained a certain silence about it.
Although no one criticized it, deep down, few people could look down upon the female army's combat effectiveness, thinking that it was just a "vase" for Wang Lin's face, a toy for several princesses, and no one took it seriously.
Moreover, the female military camps used to be independent and closed, so this may not have a negative impact.
But things are different in military schools. They eat, live and study together. How do men and women get along with each other?
Therefore, when Liang Hongyu came to Yue Fei and proposed to recommend female students to the school for training, although Yue Fei's attitude was very respectful - she was probably one of his master's wives - she declined.
Zhang Jun and Liu Qi also held opposing views.
Liang Hongyu had no choice but to come to Wang Lin.
Liang Hongyu talked about the strong desire of many female officers in the female barracks to go to military academies. Zhu Lian smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Hongyu, it is shocking for women to join the army. To go to a military academy and then be awarded a military position after graduation is... inappropriate.
Bar?"
Of course Zhu Lian could not accept such new ideas.
After all, in her opinion, most of the women in this world should be good wives and mothers who take care of their husbands and raise their children. They are like Huarui, Hu Sanniang and Liang Hongyu, who are proficient in martial arts, riding and archery, and can also go into battle to kill the enemy.
There is no such thing as a female general.
"Sister Lian'er, in ancient times Hua Mulan joined the army for her father. Now my female army camp is full with more than 2,500 people. Last time we fought against the Jin people outside Xiangzhou, my female army army also went into battle to kill the enemy, just like the male army.
"Liang Hongyu said.
Zhu Lian was shocked: "So many?"
Liang Hongyu smiled and nodded.
The formation team of the female military camp came from hundreds of Hu Sanniang's female guards. Later, Huarui also recruited female soldiers in Qingzhou. Inspired by the two heroines Huarui and Hu Sanniang, women from Qinglai Prefecture signed up to join the army from scratch.
Gradually it formed its current scale.
The stamen is nicknamed "Mulan".
Of course, although the female soldiers belong to the same Fuhu Army establishment as the male soldiers, their daily training and camps are separated, with Huarui and Hu Sanniang, and now Liang Hongyu personally responsible.
Zhu Lian smacked her lips, and when she saw Liang Hongyu in front of her, who was handsome, with a sword at her waist, and a womanly demeanor that was beyond words, she was actually a little envious in her heart.
But she has no strength to restrain a chicken. Not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, she can't even ride a horse.
"Sister Hongyu, if this is the case, it seems... I have to ask my husband, maybe he will agree?" Zhu Lian was a little unsure.
Liang Hongyu raised her eyebrows: "Our Fuhu Army is the first to encourage women to join the army. The sisters in our army are not inferior to the male soldiers in terms of riding, shooting, and martial arts. Since my husband said that the military academy is a place for training officers of all armies, why can't there be
A place for my female soldiers?"
Zhu Lian was silent.
She actually didn't believe that female soldiers could keep pace with male soldiers. After all, in these days, it was men who had to rely on men to kill the enemy. What use could women do?
But Zhu Lian was unwilling to throw cold water on Liang Hongyu in person.
The two women were chatting, when they saw Wang Lin walking in slowly. He seemed to have heard their conversation, and smiled and said to Liang Hongyu: "Hongyu, you don't have to worry, I agree to set up a special class for female cadets in the military academy, with separate room and board.
The teaching and training, class hours and curriculum are the same as those for male students.”
Liang Hongyu was overjoyed.
She had prepared a lot of rhetoric to convince Wang Lin, but Wang Lin just nodded.
Wang Lin softly chanted: "I bend my bow and fight as a man. In my dream, I was with Huamei. I thought about returning the wine several times, and piled it on the clouds to wish my concubine Ming."
"Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of precedents for women joining the military. Since our army is the first to have a female army, it is reasonable to accept female military cadets in military academies."
"For example, our general Liang Hongyu!" Wang Lin smiled and took Liang Hongyu's hand: "The righteous daughter of Jingkou took off her red makeup, wore armor and carried a sword to the battlefield. She beat the drum three times to chill the enemy's courage, and bent her bow to fall into the setting sun."
Liang Hongyu's face was reddish, and her eyes were full of tenderness: "Is this what your husband wrote to me? I am so happy."
Zhu Lian was envious in his heart, so he stepped forward and joked: "My husband is good at poetry, and sister Hongyu is also good at it. She can beat the drum three times to chill the enemy's guts, and bend her bow to fall into the setting sun with a feather..."
Zhu Lian rolled his eyes: "Ms. sir, there are three female generals in our palace. Can't you favor one over the other?"
Wang Lin chuckled softly and grabbed Zhu Lian with his other hand: "You don't have to make mistakes. I just happened to feel it and made a few random sentences. They are just fragments and not serious poems."
Zhu Lian smiled tenderly: "The remaining sentences are complete. Sir, you have always been very talented in poetry. Sanniang and Sister Hua Rui are indispensable and have to ask for something from you."
Wang Lin laughed loudly, "Sanniang, I have two things to say: Fighting Sanniang with heroic demeanor, a lasso can't be used with two swords."
Zhu Lian crossed her legs with a look of anticipation on her face: "Where's Sister Huarui?"
"Who says women are inferior to men? Look at our army Hua Mulan!
Just as Zhu Liang was about to say softly, "Me, I want it too," Wang Lin grabbed her hard on her buttocks. She screamed in shame and ran away.
…
Although the weather is cold and freezing, the atmosphere in the newly established Zhending Military Academy is lively. 500 trainees are divided into five teams, and captains and deputy captains are selected to cooperate with the military school's daily management of the trainees.
The student dormitories, canteens, teachers, training ground and school grounds are all neatly organized and well-equipped. It is actually a miniature military camp.
These five hundred people are all-round talents selected from the best in each army. Their martial arts and riding and shooting skills are above the standard, and they are also proficient in pen and ink. They are all between 16 and 25 years old, with burly and strong physiques.
But in the afternoon of this day, a group of about fifty female soldiers suddenly lined up at the gate of the military academy. They were in their prime, wearing armor all over their bodies and holding swords at their waists. They were dashing and heroic, and all of them were as beautiful as flowers.
When the news came out, the military academy was shocked.
All the male military cadets rushed to watch the fun, but were rejected. All female cadets were isolated in the northwest corner of the military school. No one was allowed to enter or exit at will except the teachers and military school administrators.
At the entrance of the military academy, Zhang Jun and Liu Qi stood side by side, their faces slightly complicated.
The establishment of a military academy has been regarded as an original move in history, especially in the Song Dynasty, which for hundreds of years emphasized civility over military affairs. It was the first of its kind.
The fact that military academies simultaneously recruit female students and train women to become officers is really unbelievable in the eyes of these two people.
But this was something Wang Lin had arranged in the form of a "Written from King Yan". How could Yue Fei dare to resist?
In fact, Yue Fei was very surprised. The 50 female students recommended by Liang Hongyu on behalf of the female military camp were excellent in riding and shooting, and were especially good at shooting. They were almost all top marksmen.
After strict selection and selection, all 50 female military cadets successfully passed the test.
"The prince did extraordinary things and broke the world's conventions, which is really shocking. Once this news comes out, it will definitely shock the world." Zhang Jun said lightly.
Liu Qi was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty is a very human being, so he did this extraordinary act, and I'm afraid it also has a profound meaning.
In any case, the training of military officers can be said to be a practical way to enrich the country and strengthen the army. As for women becoming officers, I think we will wait and see the effect slowly. If one day, both men and women of the Han people can mount their horses and fight, why should we fear the invasion of foreign enemies?
"
Zhang Jun chuckled. Men and women can fight. Just think about it, but how is it possible?
After all, the Song Dynasty was not an uncivilized barbarian from the Jin Kingdom!
