Thank you to Comrade "Tongtianhe Seafood" for actively responding to Eunuch Wei's call!

...........

After the training camp opening ceremony, Eunuch Wei did not go to Keelung Port immediately to determine the joint fleet's expedition to Ryukyu in February, but stayed in the training camp for three days, with the purpose of further strengthening the ideological work of the trainees and urging the implementation of various systems of the military and political training camp one by one.

The training of military eunuchs has never been done in previous dynasties. It was an institutional design by Eunuch Wei during the Ming Dynasty. It was a great innovation and a pilot project.

Eunuch Wei hopes to formally establish a military academy for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty based on this military and political training camp for the eunuchs, so as to cultivate the backbone of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, strengthen the regular military education of the Imperial Army, effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, and continuously provide talents for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although the military and political training camp of the military eunuchs was a pioneering and small scale, Eunuch Wei has invested huge resources in both the school building and the faculty. This can be seen from the fact that the training camp can accommodate thousands of students at a time.

Given that the students were dispatched by various supervisors, bureaus and departments of the inner court, they had no military jobs before and had no experience in military combat, Eunuch Wei, in addition to being the principal personally, also served as the chief of education.

Eunuch Wei personally drafted relevant courses for the training camp. In addition to traditional courses such as in-sports and horse training, marching and infantry formations, he also offered courses such as astronomy and geography, science of geography, surveying and mapping, arithmetic, military command, staff homework, intelligence analysis, etc. All courses accumulated in one year. After the expiration of one year, students who passed all the assessments can be immediately assigned to various units of the Imperial Army to serve as the position of military supervisor eunuch.

Considering that most students are not literate, in the early three months of the training camp, in addition to basic military training such as in-sports and horse training, the main courses are actually popularizing cultural knowledge, which is what Eunuch Wei calls "literacy".

"Brothers, we will be military supervisors in the future. Not everyone can do this military supervisor. At least, we must understand the military orders above and the official documents below. If the brothers don't know a big word, how can we make the superiors and convincing the troops?"

In the first lesson, Eunuch Wei personally served as the main lecturer. He warned the students earnestly not to think that they can be good eunuchs in the military without learning or studying. Such eunuchs in the military are not only extremely irresponsible to the Imperial Army, but also extremely irresponsible to the lives of soldiers.

"It is not a bad thing to recognize more words. Which of the big men in our palace, those palm prints, and those young prisoners are illiterate? It is hard to read. No matter how good the skills are, they will not look down on them. What if they don't look down on them? They just have no future, they can't be promoted, and they can't be father-in-law."

"Our family organizes you together, not just let you serve as a military supervisor for our family. Our family hopes that in the future, you can all be promoted to Beijing, and be the supervisor of the supervisor, and be the supervisor of the less supervisor, and be the less supervisor, and be the better of being the palm print. If we can join the Sili Supervisor and become the master of the pen, then our family will be able to wake up in their dreams."

Although the first lesson, my father-in-law mainly taught simple numbers such as "one, two, three, four, five, and six", his simple and sincere words made the students realize the importance of literacy from the bottom of their hearts.

In the words of Eunuch Wei, why are the good errands in the palace called the Nei Shutang to take over? Everyone has no such thing in their crotch. Why are we inferior to others and begging for food under others? It depends on their expressions?

Yes, we used to be illiterate, and we deserved it!

But now we have the opportunity to read, we have the opportunity to do the job for the emperor, and we have the opportunity to work hard, so why can't we do better than those from the Nei Shutang?

After the first lecture, my father-in-law was still unsatisfied. He looked at the students sitting in the classroom and said earnestly: "Our family is a poor man. We have picked up feces, picked up dog shit, and went to the fields to pick up firewood. So at that time, our family developed a habit that we cannot rely on others in everything, we must rely on ourselves, and do everything ourselves. Only in this way can we know whether we can do it, whether it is done right or not, whether it is good, if it is wrong, what is wrong..."

My father-in-law said again:

"We cannot leave the masses and forget our origins. Don't think that the clean people in this world are only those scholars, and those who are officials are dirty. For example, scholars can wear clothes, but they think they are clean, and the people's clothes are unwilling to wear them, and they think they are dirty. Never have this idea. Once you have this idea, it is very dangerous! Why is it dangerous? Because, we have not put our position on our own and forget our origins, and will gradually evolve into bad eunuchs in the minds of the people."

"In the future, after you are assigned to each unit, you must get along with the officers and soldiers, be familiar with them, and make them familiar with you. Don't put on the air of a military eunuch, just treat yourself as an ordinary member of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, and treat the officers and soldiers as their own family. Only in that way can the soldiers be well led and supervised!

Otherwise, once something happens, the officers and soldiers will abandon you. If they don’t abandon you, they will blame you. They blame you for all kinds of failures. If they are not done well, they will be mutiny. What will happen if mutiny? Mom, it will lose your head and kill people!”

“…”

Before they knew it, the father-in-law actually "dragged the class" for half an hour. The people outside were so anxious, but the students inside were not impatient or hungry. They only felt that Eunuch Wei's speech was so real, and every sentence was really touching their hearts. Especially Eunuch Wei often scolded "Mom, slap" and said a few words, which made people feel very friendly.

Finally, near the end, Eunuch Wei suddenly asked someone to get a picture of "The World Map" drawn by the General Staff. He pointed to Huang Ming in the map and said to the students who were looking strangely:

"The world is very big, but my Emperor Ming only occupies a small part. Our living space is very small. Many people will die when encountering natural disasters, and even thousands of miles away from the ground, changing children to eat... Therefore, the purpose of our Emperor Ming Army is to build a large enough land for Emperor Ming to feed our people and make our descendants never know what hunger is!
