"I don't know about this, but I guess it may have something to do with you, husband." Master Li said.
"Is it related to me?" Wu Dong was extremely surprised.
"Yes! I met her today. At first she was talking and laughing. Then she asked about us. When she learned your true identity, she immediately turned pale and looked depressed. You said it was not because of you. Then
Why?" Master Li said.
"Could it be that she came to Incheon to take revenge? Now that she knows my true identity, she can't take revenge, so she is in a bad mood?" Wu Dong said.
"How is that possible? You and her are not avenged for killing your father. How could she come all the way to Incheon City to take revenge because she hates you?" Master Li said.
"What's the reason for that?" Wu Dong said.
"Let me guess, Miss Hu has fallen in love with you? Because hate breeds love, that's why she came all the way to Incheon City to find you?" Li Shishi said with a smile.
"This..." Li Shishi's guess made Wu Dong dumbfounded.
He once again thought of that extremely beautiful beauty, full of heroic spirit. He could imagine what she looked like in military uniform. She must be even more heroic and touching.
She was originally the number one female general in the Water Margin, but now she has come to Incheon City and has become the leader of the women's column. Will she also make contributions and shine here?

Early the next morning, Jin Dongqing, the grand master of Goryeo, left Incheon City angrily. Before leaving, he warned Wu Dong to be careful of Goryeo's anger.
"Chairman, do you think Goryeo will use troops against us?" Wu Yong said.
"The possibility is not very high. The main threat to Goryeo now is the Liao Kingdom in the north. Their main troops are stationed on the northern border. For Goryeo, we are just a group of rebels from the Song Dynasty and a group of pirates. Now they are not
They may use all their strength to deal with us," Wu Dong said.
Although Yangsanbo already has 100,000 troops, 20,000 of these 100,000 troops are stationed in Subo, and most of the rest are stationed in Daebu Island, Ganghwa Island and other places. The actual number of troops stationed in Incheon City does not exceed 10,000.
Such a small amount of troops is not in the eyes of the Koreans.
From last year to now, although Yang Sanbo has captured Incheon City, Jeju Island, Seoul and other places, Incheon City is only a seaport city, and Jeju Island is an island. As for the so-called "Seoul", it is still a wasteland, and these places are not
Being taken seriously by Goryeo, their current threat seems to be very small compared to the Liao people.
Perhaps only in the future, when Liangshanbo launches a full-scale attack on Goryeo, will the Korean people truly realize how powerful Liangshan is.
After sending Jin Dongqing away, Wu Dong and the members of the Military Commission began to discuss the establishment of a military academy, and the name of the military academy was finally determined, which was "China Military Academy".
The ancient concept of "China" is very different from the modern concept of "China". Modern China is the name of a country, while ancient China more often represents the Chinese nation and the Han people. The so-called "driving out the Tartars and restoring China" means
It refers to expelling foreigners and restoring Han rule.
The name of the military academy is decided, and then the scale of the military academy. According to Wu Dong and Hua Rong, the scale of the military academy does not need to be too large. It only needs to recruit a few dozen people in the first phase, and the second and third phases will be held in the future.
You can slowly increase the number of people.
"Chairman, I think it would be better to recruit more students. If there are more students, it is not a bad thing to let them all be trained," Wu Yong said.
Wu Dong thought for a while and said: "Wu Yong, we still don't know how effective the military academy is. We recruit a lot of people at once. What if the teaching effect is not good and misleads these people? What if we are recruiting dozens of people now?
Let’s look at the results first, and then talk about other things.”
Wu Yong thought for a while, nodded and said: "The Chairman is worried about that."
Everyone agreed with Wu Dong's opinion, and the matter was settled.
Next came the selection of teachers. Wu Dong, Hua Rong, and Yang Zhi were finally selected. In addition, a group of outstanding military officers were selected from the army, and these officers were asked to come to the military academy to serve as teachers, including those from the women's column.
Hu Sanniang.
"Hu Sanniang? A woman can also be a teacher in a military academy?" Ruan Xiaoqi said with some confusion.
"Although she is a woman, when she was on Jeju Island, she used the military like a general. Even if I were put in her position, I could only do so. In addition, she is also literate and has read
Quite a few, her knowledge is different from that of ordinary women. Moreover, she even suggested the establishment of a military academy. Do you think she is qualified to be a teacher?" Hua Rong said.
Hua Rong mentioned so many reasons, but Ruan Xiaoqi could not refute it, and finally Hu Sanniang also joined the list of teachers.
"Being a teacher, you naturally have to teach students well. Everyone, everyone who is selected for the teacher list must be well prepared when they go back. If they are not qualified and the teaching is not good, we may remove them at any time. At that time, your face will be terrible
It’s a big loss.” Wu Dong said.
The military academy is of great importance, so we must be cautious, and the selection of teachers is especially important. Only if the teachers are excellent can the students they teach be excellent. If the teachers are unqualified, it is impossible to teach qualified students.
"Don't worry, Chairman, we will be well prepared when we go back." Yang Zhi said with a smile.
So things were settled, and on August 15th, the first phase of the Chinese Military Academy finally started.
The address of the military academy is in a large courtyard next to the city lord's palace. There is a lobby inside, and lectures are given in the lobby. Among the students in the first period, there are several well-known figures, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, Jie Bao, Bai
Sheng, Liu Tang, Zhu Jia Sanjie, etc., in addition to them, there are dozens of battalion and company level cadres who have performed well among them.

Naturally, Wu Dong started the first class. Wu Dong stood in front of a blackboard, holding chalk in his hand.
The "blackboard" and "chalk" were both temporarily made according to his wishes. The "blackboard" is made by pouring ink on a smooth wooden board, then drying and smoothing it. The chalk is made of limestone. In addition, there are
Blackboard erasers are very similar to modern blackboard erasers.
Wu Dong has tried the effect of this blackboard, chalk, and blackboard eraser before, and it feels pretty good. This thing has no technical content, and there is not much difference between the ancient ones and the modern ones. But this thing is used for lectures, and the effect is
Very good. Westerners only started to promote this thing in modern times, and Wu Dong started to promote it in military academies now.
Wu Dong stood there and said: "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Our ancestor Sun Wu has told us the importance of military, which is why we established the military academy."
.For an army, the most important thing is the officers. An excellent officer can defeat the strong with the weak, but a mediocre officer may ruin a strong army. There are countless such examples in history, such as the Three Kingdoms
At that time, Cao Cao led an army of hundreds of thousands and was known as a million-strong army, while Liu Bei and Sun Quan had less than 100,000 troops. However, in the end Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan and lost the chance to dominate the world. This is the famous Battle of Chibi.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty invaded the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Fu Jian had many elite soldiers. When he was passing by the Yangtze River, he said to his subordinates, "We can throw the whip down the Yangtze River to cut off the flow of the Yangtze River. How many soldiers and horses should we have? But soldiers and horses."
Fu Jian, who had many skilled generals, was finally defeated by the weak Eastern Jin Dynasty. This was the famous Battle of Feishui in history."
The students listening below all nodded. This time, because Wu Dong was giving the lecture, all members of the Military Commission, including Hua Rong, were also listening below. Wu Dong’s lecture method was quite novel, and was very different from the off-leash lecture method used by Confucian scholars in this era.
, everyone listened with great interest.
"Officers are so important, so this military academy must be established. Our military academy should be the first real military academy in history, the first time to formally train military talents." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Everyone listening below couldn't help laughing. Wu Yong said: "Chairman, these are all your whimsical ideas, which are better than the ancients."
Wu Dong glanced at Wu Yong and said: "Don't talk casually in class. If you want to talk, please raise your hand first, and then the teacher will point to who is talking. Do you understand?"
Wu Dong's words were obviously referring to Wu Yong. Wu Yong's flattery hit the horse's hoof this time. He was very embarrassed. Hua Rong and others around him wanted to laugh but did not.
Wu Dong said: "Actually, the suggestion of the military academy was not made by me, but by the commander of the women's column."
Everyone was extremely surprised to hear that it was someone from the Women's Column who proposed the military academy. Originally, in the Battle of Jeju, the Women's Column defeated the main force of Goryeo, which had already surprised everyone in the army. Now they heard about this
He immediately became curious about Hu Sanniang and wanted to see this person.
Wu Dong said: "Today is the first lesson. The first thing I want to talk about is why are we fighting? Tell me, why are we fighting?"
The students below raised their hands one after another. Wu Dong looked at the strangers behind him, pointed at one of them, and said, "Tell me about it."
This person was actually Zhu Biao from Zhujiazhuang. Zhu Biao stood up and said loudly: "Chairman, we are fighting for the future of China and the future of our Han people!"
During this period, propaganda was being circulated throughout the army every day. Even soldiers like Zhu Biao, who came from a landlord family, had completely changed their thinking.
Wu Dong nodded and said: "That's very good! You must keep in mind that we are fighting for the future of China and the future of the nation! We are definitely not fighting for personal glory and wealth, or for a certain person or court.
And fight."
"Why fight?" This is a crucial question, and it is also the first question that needs to be solved. In ancient armies, when a war started, they would urgently pay military pay to the soldiers, or promise high-ranking officials generous salaries.
To boost morale. But whether it is money or power, they can only temporarily boost morale. If you want to boost morale for a long time, you need a longer-term goal, and everyone in the army needs to continue to strive for this goal, no matter where they are.
During wartime and during peacetime training, this goal must be firmly kept in mind. The goal Wu Dong set for this unit is to fight for China and the nation.
"After solving the problem of why to fight, next we have to understand the problem of how to fight. Regarding how to fight, our ancestor Sun Wu once said a sentence, which is enough to summarize, 'The soldier is deceitful, so he can fight.
Show them that they are unable to use them, show them that they are not in use, show them that they are far away when they are close, show them that they are close by showing them that they are far away. Use them to lure them when they are profitable, take them when they are in chaos, prepare them when they are strong, avoid them when they are strong, offend them when they are angry, and be arrogant when they are humble.
To use one word to describe it, it is 'to win by surprise', the key is the word 'qi'. How can we achieve victory by surprise? Hua Rong
