Chapter 68 Dragon Martial Army
Zhang said that he had good generalization ability and accurately expressed Li Longji's meaning...
"It's right." Li Longji nodded appreciatively and said, "Even, we can recruit a group of boys and train them from childhood."
"Your Majesty, this is too horrifying." Di Renjie was a little surprised.
In ancient times, there were not only so many things that concentrated on cultivating "boy scouts" since childhood, but they were too few, so they could not help but be surprised.
"This is very horrifying?" Li Longji shook his head and said, "Aren't our school building also trained by boys? Why can't we train generals and lieutenants?"
The academic style of the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, and many people studied and studied, which had a lot to do with the establishment of the School of the Tang Dynasty. A large part of the school students were recruited from smart children. Li Longji's approach only changed slightly and opened a "Young Officer School".
"This..." Everyone was suddenly stopped by Li Longji and spoke speechless.
Li Longji is right. The academic center can recruit smart children and cultivate scholars and lay the foundation for the country to become an official. Why can't we train generals and lieutenants from an early age?
"This matter is decided!" Li Longji immediately made the decision.
One of the reasons why Western countries can rise in modern times is that their military strength is very strong. The reason why their military strength is strong is multifaceted. One of them is that they attach great importance to the training of soldiers. Many countries have "Young Officers Schools" and have trained generals and officers since childhood.
The famous Napoleon received systematic military education since childhood and finally became one of the greatest military strategists in human history. If the Tang Dynasty had done this well, it would have great benefits for the Tang Dynasty.
"Zuan the order." No one dared to reject Li Longji's decision. Everyone followed him.
"Liu Youqiu. The ten thousand cavalry on your side need to recruit more people." Li Longji said to Liu Youqiu.
"Your Majesty, isn't that good?" Liu Youqiu disagreed with the proposal and said: "The ten thousand cavalry were originally hundreds of cavalry. When Emperor Taizong was Emperor Taizong, there were only a hundred people, not too many, and not too many. When Emperor Taizong was Emperor Taizong, it became a thousand cavalry, and there were only one thousand people. Not too many, and not too many. When Emperor Taizong, it had become ten thousand cavalry, and expanded into ten thousand. If it was expanded, could it still be ten thousand cavalry?"
Ten thousand cavalry came from the hundreds of cavalry of Emperor Taizong of Tang, with only one hundred people, no more or less. They were the bodyguards of Emperor Taizong of Tang. Because of their strict selection, the selected people were extraordinary and became famous.
Wu Zetian had a special appreciation for hundreds of cavalry, so he developed into thousands of cavalry. The number was always maintained at one thousand people, not one more, and not one less.
After Ruizong ascended the throne, according to Li Longji's proposal, it expanded into ten thousand cavalry, and the scale was already quite large. If it was expanded further, would it still be ten thousand cavalry?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang said that they agreed with Liu Youqiu's words very much.
Everyone has special feelings for the Wanqi, because this is not only the most elite army of the Tang Empire, but also the crystallization of Emperor Taizong of Tang's hard work. If it "deteriorates", they will really not be able to bear it.
"Ten thousand cavalry is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty. Each one is a choice, but if you have a shortcoming, do you know?" Li Longji asked.
"Your Majesty, what are the shortcomings?" Everyone was puzzled.
"These selected soldiers have experienced many battles and have very rich experience in battle formations. However, how many people have been guided by the wise master?" Li Longji asked back.
The selection of Wanqi is very strict. Everyone is a warrior who has experienced many battles and has extremely rich experience in battle formations. However, a large number of people have not systematically learned military tactics and lack theoretical knowledge.
With theoretical knowledge, you may not necessarily achieve greater achievements, but it would be even better if you can accept better systematic learning and master better military knowledge.
"..." Li Longji asked Liu Youqiu with one sentence.
"After the ten thousand cavalry is expanded, our Military Academy will be completed, and we can select a group of people from you to study and receive guidance from the master. Do you think they will be even more amazing?" Li Longji asked again.
"That's certain." Liu Youqiu replied without thinking.
If the people of Wanqi can get guidance from wise masters, such as Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Shuo, it will definitely be even more amazing. Because they have rich practical experience, if they have theoretical guidance, wouldn't it be even more amazing?
"Also, those who have achieved success in academic studies can also come to your place to do things. Will Wanqi become more elite?" Li Longji asked again.
"Take it serious?" Liu Youqiu's eyes were so bright that he stared at Li Longji nervously and asked.
In the Military and Taoist Academy, there will be Wang Xiaojie and Zhang said that these great military strategists will teach them. The students here will learn a lot. Who doesn’t want to choose some? If Wanqi can choose people, Wanqi will definitely be even more powerful and more elite.
"Of course." Li Longji focused his attention and said, "When I came to Wanqi to pick people, you felt sorry for me and always blamed me for digging away your heart. Now, I give you a chance to make Wanqi even more awesome."
"Thank you Your Majesty! Thank you Your Majesty!" Liu Youqiu jumped up suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he thanked loudly.
Who doesn't think of such a beautiful thing?
"After the expansion of the ten thousand cavalry, it is not only used to garrison the capital and defend the imperial city, but also send some people to the border to fight and train them. In this way, the ten thousand cavalry is always in the baptism of war, and they are not even elite." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said, "This is also the shortcoming of the ten thousand cavalry."
Soldiers must be baptized by war. An elite army is always in war and is extremely important for the training of the army. But ten thousand cavalry had no chance before, because they were not large in number, and they could not send some to participate in the war and could not accept the baptism of war.
Although these people have rich experience in battle formations, their ability will be weakened if they do not accept the baptism of war for a long time.
If the ten thousand cavalry are expanded and some people are sent to participate in the war, the problem will be solved.
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone was really convinced.
"Your Majesty, once there are more people, ten thousand cavalry can't be called ten thousand cavalry." Liu Youjiu reminded him.
"Well, then call it Longwu Army." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and thought of a name that resounded throughout the ages.
The Longwu Army was the most elite army during the Li Longji period, mainly used to protect the safety of the palace. At the same time, some people also went to the battlefield, received the baptism of war, and trained many generals.
The most famous one is Guo Ziyi.
"Good name!" Everyone had no objection to the name and agreed to it.
"As for the academic hall, it is called the Tang Dynasty Royal Military Academy." Li Longji's eyes shining brightly, and he said, "This will be the holy place in the hearts of the Tang Dynasty men!"
Li Longji was determined to build the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty into the highest military academy and become the cradle of generals. If this is the case, it will surely become the holy land in the hearts of men of the Tang Dynasty.
"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter.
As soon as the matter was decided, preparations began. Not long after, the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty was established. On the day of school, Li Longji led his ministers to come and wrote the name of the academy in person.
In addition, Li Longji issued an order that the emperor would come in person every year to award the top three swords.
This will suddenly boil. The students were all energetic and extremely excited, and encouraged each other. They must study hard and strive to obtain a sword.
As the emperor, you have to attend the graduation ceremony in person, and the motivational effect on students can be imagined.
Think about it, the heads of state have to participate in the graduation ceremony of those famous military academies in the world today, which is very inspiring to the students.
For example, in the Western Dian Military Academy in the United States, the president not only needs to participate and deliver speeches, but also present awards to outstanding students. These students who are qualified will be proud of them after decades, which shows how great their motivational role is.
Ten thousand cavalry expanded the Chenglong Martial Army and the establishment of the Royal Military Academy, these two explosive news spread and caused a huge storm, that is, the men of the Tang Dynasty enthusiastically joined the army.
"Do you know? Ten thousand cavalry has expanded. Now it is called the Longwu Army and it is going to recruit tens of thousands of people. I have a chance, and I also want to join the army."
"That's right. In the past, the selection of Wanqi was too strict, so how could we have a chance? Now that we have improved, our chance will come. If we can become Wanqi, it will be worth it."
"You think so beautifully! Although Wanqi has expanded into the Dragon Martial Army, the selection has not been relaxed at all, but has become stricter. With the skills and wisdom of a good man in the Tang Dynasty, there are not few people who have been selected for Wanqi. In the past, just because of the limited number of people, I had to choose again and again, pick the taller among the taller ones."
"That's right, that's right. The selection of the Dragon Martial Army is now stricter, which not only requires rich experience in battle formations, but also flexible minds. It is said that as long as you enter the Dragon Martial Army, you will have the opportunity to study in the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty and get the guidance of great generals such as Wang Dashu and Zhang Shangshu, and have a bright future."
"Military Academy? What is that?"
"You don't even know after studying the Royal Military. Are you worthy of being a man from the Tang Dynasty? The Royal Military Academy is a military and Taoist museum founded by His Majesty. It specializes in teaching military tactics and training generals and schools. Once you enter the Royal Military Academy, you will have a bright future."
"Also, the Royal Military Academy not only recruits adults, but also boys. As long as you are smart and have no problem with your body, you will have a chance. Think about it, how much is it to train since childhood?"
"You haven't finished speaking. Anyone who enters the Royal Military Academy will pay for food and accommodation. You don't have to worry about not being able to pay for the money to study."
"The Royal Military Academy not only does not have to worry about food and accommodation, but also has salary. Even boys can receive a generous salary. That's so generous, it will be a one-year income for my family in one month."
"What a wonderful thing? My child is so smart. I have always wanted to send him to the school, but I can't afford the money. Now, I want to take my child to try it. If it works, it will be a great thing for Guangzong to be the ancestor."
Such discussions spread throughout the streets and alleys, and many people were extremely happy.
