Official schools and military academies are the top priority in Wang Zheng's mind, and they are also a huge project.
According to his plan, it is divided into three steps.
The military academy in Xiapi is naturally the first step. It is currently mainly responsible for training low-level officers such as commanders. Once they graduate from the military academy, they can be automatically promoted to one level, and be promoted to Dub.
Wang Zheng's next plan is to open two more campuses in Pengcheng and Kaiyang. Kaiyang Military Academy is an intermediate school, targeting students at Dubbo level.
Pengcheng Military Academy is a senior school, only for generals above the rank of captain in the army, with Wang Zheng personally serving as the principal.
Compared with Xiapi Military Academy, the military academies in Kaiyang and Pengcheng will have different emphases in course arrangements due to different enrollment targets.
The first year is also mainly about cultural courses, and the requirements for Dubbo are naturally not the same as those for Chang. For such a long time, you only need to get rid of illiteracy. Wang Zheng also arranged simple strategies, national history of past dynasties, battle examples and tactics, etc.
etc. subjects.
The battle example class teaches the battle examples of the past dynasties. The tactics class is derived from the battle examples and teaches the difference and essentials between attacking and defending the city, foot and cavalry field battles, including how to cultivate and improve morale, and what choices should be made when facing a desperate situation.
The strategy class teaches simple strategies, such as the influence of the right time, place, and people on the battle, as well as the great detour, and does not focus on the gains and losses of one city or one place, etc., and conducts war games.
The military academy in Pengcheng is aimed at generals at the captain level, but it places more emphasis on self-cultivation courses. In short, it teaches "the way to be a general."
There will be five virtues, "wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness", and the training course must work hard on these. We don't expect everyone to become a famous general, but we can at least improve the quality of the generals and give them a clear direction.
, know where to work hard, and have a more solemn image.
History class is the most controversial subject. Many people do not understand it. Wu Sheng took the lead in complaining at the time. The army has its own historians, and they are responsible for killing the enemy on the battlefield. Why bother to learn the ancient history of previous dynasties? Besides, most generals
I have to start learning from literacy, but it would be too difficult to take too many courses in one year.
What's the difficulty? Wang Zheng ignored it. In the future, children in China will have to learn seven or eight courses when they are six or seven years old. Those are really different categories.
There seem to be many courses in military academies nowadays. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just Chinese language and history plus physical education. Let’s talk about history. People in future generations must understand the thousands of years of history of the Chinese dynasty. Where are you Han Dynasty people?
ah?
He had full confidence in the reading ability of Chinese people and insisted on his own opinion.
Studying history and absorbing the experiences and lessons of historical figures can help you understand the principles of life, and understand the ways of being a general and a minister. There is a deeper meaning. There are many famous generals in history who are patriotic and resist foreign aggression. Learning their deeds is conducive to training generals.
Their values, understanding of honor and shame, and strengthening the cohesion of the military.
These things were all searched by Wang Zheng from the scraps of knowledge about military academies in his previous life, and were supplemented by Mi Heng, Zhang Zhao and others. The actual results are unknown at present, but this kind of basic training work has not been done before.
With enemies around him, Wang Zheng had no time to do anything. Although the current situation cannot be said to be completely stable, Wang Zheng has made up his mind.
When crossing the river by feeling the stones, the earlier the better.
"You will supervise the construction of the military academies in Pengcheng and Kaiyang." Wang Zheng was very impressed by Xu Fang's diligence. Since there was no need for politeness in the relationship between the two of them, he said directly: "Hurry up and within the next month, each of the military academies will be built."
The school is about to start formal enrollment."
Hearing this, Xu Fang felt embarrassed, glanced at Wang Zheng, and said hesitantly: "The venue is easy to handle. The key is that compared to the military academy in Xiapi, the intermediate and senior schools in Kaiyang and Pengcheng, those in Tianji Camp may not be able to handle it."
I can no longer be my master..."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the teaching staff will be a little nervous."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then began to ponder.
This is not bad.
He has many powerful generals, but not many who are proficient in Tao strategy. Most of the generals who have been demoted so far are from middle and low-level backgrounds. They may not be bad at killing enemies in battles, but when it comes to cultivation and military theory, they may not be enough.
Already.
"Aren't you going to guard Pengcheng's military wing next?" Wang Zheng thought for a while and said, "If you don't bother the two masters, then you can go!"
"I?"
"That's right." Wang Zheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "My pharmacist has experienced hundreds of battles and read poetry and books. He can be said to be both civilized and martial arts. He is naturally more than capable of giving lectures."
"There won't be too many people at the beginning, so you have to work harder. As for Kaiyang..." Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Look for those captains and uncles who were among the previous generals.
"
"General, are you going to give a lecture with General Jiang? Can you rest assured?" Xu Fang hesitated and asked: "Even if they have no intention, will our soldiers listen to them?"
Xu Fang's consideration is not unreasonable. Since Wang Zheng's uprising, his achievements have been too brilliant, and his subordinates are naturally quite arrogant. Ordinary people have never looked down upon him, let alone his former defeated generals?
If you can't respect your teacher, then there is no way you can talk about respecting your teacher.
"There is no need for them to teach about tactics, drills, and other practical subjects. They only talk about some theories. It doesn't matter." Wang Zheng snorted and said, "What happened to the defeated generals? Everyone has their own strengths. Give full play to their strengths.
For my use, it is natural to learn from the strengths of other schools. Not only can I let them teach theory, but I can also ask them to teach me how to read and write."
"As for the dignity of teachers, it is indeed important to consider it. Well, when school starts, I will go for a walk, remind the boys first, and then cheer up these "gentlemen."
Xu Fang thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay."
"However, such expedient measures cannot last long."
"Yes." Wang Zheng nodded: "I know this, so let's leave it like this for now."
After saying this, Xu Fang changed the subject. Bafu has been very busy recently. He is focusing on building a military academy in the distance, and recruiting soldiers is happening nearby. As far as the current situation is concerned, Bafu's focus is more on recruiting soldiers, because it involves
The use of troops after the new year is imminent.
Although Wang Zheng connected with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Beihai and deployed internal agents to get there, it is logically impossible to really expect to win without a fight.
"After this period of time, Xiapi has recruited more than 3,000 people from refugees and good families. General Yimo estimates that, together with the number of recruits from other places, 20,000 recruits can be recruited in half a month at most.
."
Speaking of this, Xu Fang paused and said: "In addition, there is a captain in the fourth branch of the Tianjun Army named Jing Yi. He took the initiative to put forward an opinion that the current number of cavalry in our army is still not enough. He is willing to go to Youzhou to recruit for Zhou Mu.
I would like foreigners who join the army to come and replenish it."
"Jing Yi?" Wang Zheng was startled when he heard the words. He thought the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while. After Xu Fang reminded him, Fang suddenly realized it.
It was the rebel boy who surrendered in the Battle of Kaiyang that day...
He looked at Xu Fang in confusion: "Isn't this person a general of the Langya Wang family? How can he still contact the foreign tribes in Youzhou?"
"General, according to what this person said, when he was traveling around the world with the king's order when he was young, he met someone in Youzhou who seemed to be a big shot from a foreign tribe, so he recommended himself."
That's it...
Wang Zheng nodded and thought for a while: "Youzhou's sudden cavalry and Jizhou's powerful crossbows are equally famous all over the world. It would be a good thing if this person can really recruit Youzhou cavalry for us."
Wang Zheng thought even more deeply. It didn't matter how many cavalry Jing Yi recruited. If he could establish a connection with the foreigners over there and trade with each other in the future, he would also have an additional source of war horses.
He stood up, walked around the hall twice, and asked again, "Is this someone's initiative?"
Xu Fang nodded.
"Great kindness!"
Wang Zheng recalled Jing Yi. Although he had a bad temperament, he seemed not to be an unintelligent person. Since he made the initiative, he must be somewhat confident: "Tell this person, if he can really do this, I will not hesitate to reward him!"
"Whatever he needs to prepare for going to Youzhou, whether it's people, horses or property, you'll make it easier for him."
"Here!"
Although the civil affairs were not going smoothly, the military affairs were extremely smooth. There was even more unexpected joy, and the king's government could not help but feel happy.
After chatting with Xu Fang some more, Wang Zhengsi thought about it for a while, then left the county mansion again and rode his horse towards another place. Soon after, he came to a mansion.
This is where Guo Jia was placed under house arrest.
This courtyard was carefully selected. It is not big, but it is elegant. It has rockery and running water, and is rich in green. The lawn is surrounded by green trees. Go up the winding path paved with cobblestones in the forest, and you will be greeted by red doors with white walls and paintings.
The windows were carved, and a woman's singing could be heard faintly coming from inside.
The soldier leading the way stopped, and Wang Zheng signaled him to step aside temporarily. Then he did not rush to open the door and go in. Instead, he stood outside the window and listened.
Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music, a soft and melodious female voice was singing: "The two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two palaces are more than a hundred feet apart. It is a feast to entertain the heart, and there is no need to force it."
This is one of the only nineteen ancient poems that survived from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period after Zulong burned books and harassed Confucians. The poem is called "The Cypresses on the Qingqing Tomb", but the most famous line handed down from generation to generation is the line in the first half of the poem.
Life in heaven and earth is suddenly like a traveler from afar.
Wang Zheng often heard it, so he knew it. The female voice almost stopped after singing it once, and the next moment Guo Jia's clear laughter sounded.
"The good poems written by the ancients and the good songs sung by today's people really complement each other and complement each other, haha..."
Wang Zheng looked through the window and saw the young man drinking a bowl of wine, clapping his hands on the table and beating a rhythmic beat. A look of aftertaste appeared on his face, and he kept saying: "Let's do it again."
After a short pause, the woman started singing again.
Seeing this scene, Wang Zheng couldn't help but smile.
By the end of the month, Guo Jia, who had been looking for life and death at first, became contented with himself. Among them, Xu Fang and Zhang Zhao deserved a lot of credit.
The two men took over the job of Wang Zheng chatting with Guo Jia. They were both Confucian scholars and came from a noble family. Zhang Zhao understood the other party's thoughts and concerns better, and they calmly hammered him. As time went on, it was natural that everything would get through.
Xu Fang, on the other hand, has a calm personality and is not surprised by honor or disgrace. He always chats with Guo Jia about Wang Zheng's many battles and analyzes his own advantages, strategies, ideas, etc. This is nothing more than proving that Wang Zheng is wise and powerful and worthy of seeking refuge. Guo Jia also started from the beginning.
The cynicism turned into silence.
He had personally experienced Wang Zheng's ability, and he never expected that a mere yellow-breasted boy, a yellow turban bandit, could actually have many talented people under his command, both in civil and military skills.
Waiting patiently for the woman to finish singing again, Wang Zhengcai clapped and cheered, strode in, and said with a loud laugh: "Drinking and entertaining, talking about thick and thin. Driving horses, playing games with Wan and Luo, the lyrics are well written.
, the song can be sung even better.”
There are not many furnishings in the hall. There are three or two musicians lined up beside the pillars, and a singer is kneeling on one side. In front of the marble screen, the young man is leaning on the desk chair, holding the wine glass he just poured out.
Seeing Wang Zheng come in, Guo Jia didn't get up. He raised the wine bowl and drank it. Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Fine wine, beautiful women and beautiful songs. Sir, you are so leisurely."
When the musicians and singers saw that it was Wang Zheng, they hurriedly bowed to the ground and were about to leave. Wang Zheng glanced at them casually and was startled again.
Strange, why did I meet an acquaintance today?
It turned out that the singer was young, light and even smaller in stature, but she was the maid Guo Ying, nicknamed Youyi, who was presented to her by Guo Yi when she was in Pengcheng that day.
"Wait a minute." Guo Jia glanced at Wang Zheng, nodded, waved his hand to stop her, and said, "What are you doing? Who told you to go down?"
Wang Zheng said exactly the opposite. Guo Jia has not been leisurely at all in the past two months. He is really depressed inside.
His desire to die is very strong, but he is just conceited and talented. After all, he would not be willing to be buried in the loess in obscurity. Secondly, Wang Zheng's threatening words from the Yi tribe echoed in his ears for a long time, which also made him have some concerns.
.
This Zhuzi conquered Xuzhou in one year, and his momentum was really fierce. Since he dared to say harsh words, Guo Jia felt in his heart that he might not be incapable of doing so.
Even if we don't have it now, we can't say for sure in the future. After all, the Guo family is not an aristocratic family.
Such hesitation gradually faded away as time passed. After all, human nature is to fear life and death, so who would think about wiping their necks every day?
Since the desire to die is getting weaker day by day; coupled with Zhang Zhao's eloquent words, the king's government has achieved successes one after another. He captured Xuzhou with a crowd of 100,000, and was approved by the emperor to be the shepherd of Xuzhou and the title of Marquis of Liyang.
With all the famous weapons and weapons, Guo Jia has become another powerful man in the Han Dynasty who is expected to become a powerful man. Now, no matter how you look at it, he is not inferior to Cao Cao, the Cao Cao of Yanzhou, who he had intended to seek refuge with. Guo Jia is not willing to give up a mediocre name to future generations.
The thoughts became stronger day by day.
He actually wanted to talk to Wang Zheng, but Wang Zheng had a lot of internal and external affairs during this period, but he never came to see him.
Do you want Guo Jia to take the initiative to express his intentions? He was so determined when he made the fuss, and he couldn't lose face.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Wang Zheng finally arrived. His face was calm, but his heart was extremely surprised. He breathed a big sigh of relief, but he stopped pretending to be reserved.
"The general has a lot of things to do every day, but it is really rare that he can go to the humble room today."
Just at this time, Guo Ying had cleverly pushed her to sit down, and placed her respectfully in the middle. Seeing that Guo Jia was far away, Wang Zheng smiled, nodded to Guo Ying, and then moved it to the side of the screen with his own hands.
sit down.
"I haven't seen Mr. Zunyan for many days, and I am very worried about him. Today is the beginning of the new year, so I came here to bother you."
"Hey, how can Jia, a first-level prisoner, be worthy of the word "nuisance"? Guo Jia laughed dumbly, looked at Guo Ying again, shook his head and sighed: "Sister, why are you still kneeling like this stupidly?"
"Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, who plays the harp and sheng."
"It's rare for a distinguished guest like the general to come to Guangling. Why don't you quickly show off your singing voice to show your respect?"
Is this your sister?
Hearing this, Wang Zheng was slightly startled.
Isn't Guo Jia from Yingchuan? How could he be related to this Pengcheng woman?
