Chapter 586 Military Academy

After staying in Liuquan Town for a day, Liu Ziyu visited Wang Xiaoli's recruit camp and his horizons were wide open.

In the past, there was no new recruits. If the recruits were recruited, they would throw them directly into the army and be taught by veterans. Over time, the recruits would learn to become veterans and slowly become veterans. In such an army, when the recruits went to the battlefield, it would be a veteran around them. When the veterans went to the battlefield, it would be a military commander. If the commander did not rush to the battlefield, the entire army would not move.

After Wang Xiaoli's soldiers from the recruit camp went to the battlefield, although they also looked at veterans and officers at all levels, what really commanded them was the military. As long as the soldiers sent out signals, these recruits would follow what they learned from the recruit camp, either forward or backward. The role played by the officers was to restrain their discipline.

After watching the recruits camp for a day, Liu Ziyu felt that the training methods here were all things he had never seen or heard of. Liu Ziyu didn't know whether this training would be effective, but he could see that after one or two months of training, the recruits would look like soldiers.

At night, Liu Ziyu was lying in the room, looking at the moonlight at the window.

Wang Xiaoli's army is different from other troops and cannot be treated like other troops. Can such an army be fought? Liu Ziyu cannot draw a conclusion from the new recruit camp alone. However, the recent war to guard Xijing shows that they are not weaker than the puppet Qi army, or even the Jin army.

If you can quickly expand your army, your combat effectiveness can be comparable to that of the Jin army. What does this mean? Liu Ziyu thought about it and felt excited.

This means that the 200,000 Jin army is not a match for the Song Dynasty at all. The Song Dynasty's population is tens of millions, and in just one or two years, it can expand a million army. This million army is a real army that can fight, but it is not comparable to the millions that Zong Ze said in Kaifeng Prefecture. Both sides can destroy the Jurchens in a tough battle.

Thinking of this, Liu Ziyu's eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.

In the past two years, the Jin army became a nightmare for the Song Dynasty. Being able to defend a city without being compromised by the Jin army would be a famous general for a while. Being able to hold on for several years can simply be called a god of war. So it turns out that such a powerful Jin army is so easy to destroy?

The next morning, Wang Xiaoli and Liu Ziyu left Liuquan Town and went to Shou'an.

After the military academy moved north from Xinye, it was located in Shou'an. It is not far from Luoyang and is in a valley, so it is easier to manage. More importantly, there are a large number of Luo River tributaries in Shou'an, which are easy to build reservoirs and can be used as a military industrial base.

At noon, Wang Xiaoli and others arrived in Shou'an. Liu Shaoxian and Aisi Tianqing, who was in charge of county affairs, went outside the city to greet him and entered Shou'an City together.

After using some soup in the county government office, Wang Xiaoli said to Liu Shaoxian: "How is the military academy built?"

Liu Shaoxian said: "Half has been built, and about 200 new students have been admitted. The remaining ones have not yet been built, and some locals have been employed and have been building them."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "In the past few years, many people hid in the Luo River Valley. Now Henan Prefecture has been restored, but the population is lacking. You have to carefully verify and move some people to Luoyang and Henan counties. In the future, several counties in the Luo River Valley will be used for military academies and military industry, and most of the people will move out slowly."

Liu Shaoxian said: "It is not easy for the people to settle down. If they have no money and food to encourage them, I am afraid they will not want to."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "If the people want to move, of course they have to pay. Don't worry, I will arrange a special amount of money to do these things."

Liu Shaoxian respectfully claimed that it was.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "The Luo River Valley is close to Luoyang City, and the land is fertile. Since ancient times, the population has been large. In recent years, the Jin army has suffered a lot of population losses. However, compared with the surrounding areas, the population is still dense. In the future, this area will be used as a place for military academies and recruits to train, and all the people will be classified as a field business. When you build a military academies, you only look at which places are suitable, and you don't have to consider whether the government can collect it."

Liu Shaoxian said: "I understand the humble position."

Wang Xiaoli stood up and said, "Let's go to the military academy. After seeing this, I will go back to Luoyang tomorrow."

Liu Shaoxian said that he was. He and Wang Xiaoli and others crossed the river to the north bank and came to the newly built military academy.

The gate has not been built yet. A plaque is hung on it, with the words "Henan Prefecture Officer's School" written on it. On both sides of the door are hung with "I Wu Weiyang" and "Virtue is everywhere". The font is clever and powerful, and I don't know whose work is it.

Liu Ziyu observed the school gate in particular and couldn't tell what it meant. He followed Wang Xiaoli in confusion and entered the military academy.

The military academy was quiet.

Occasionally there are guards on the side of the road, standing there motionless, like wood. Whether it is a student or an instructor, two people are in a row and three people are in a row. Even if there is only one person, the road is full of vigor when walking.

Liu Ziyu didn't know that Wang Xiaoliu's army had standard military postures, walking and sitting. But looking at these people who walked by, although no one spoke, they had an indescribable aura of killing.

Turning over a small square with lush flowers and trees, we went to a house similar to a living room next to us, and each took a seat.

Wang Xiaoli said to Liu Shaoxian: "This is Liu Ziyu, a senator under Zhang Shumi's tent. He came to Xijing because of the matter. The left and right were idle, so let's take a look at our military academy and the recruits camp."

Liu Shaoxian bowed: "I have met Senator Liu. I am hereby Liu Shaoxian and has been referring to military academy affairs. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

Liu Ziyu said: "Looking at the scene here, it is completely different from the New Guardian. The New Guardian is lively, but it is quiet here. Moreover, the people on the road seem to walk exactly the same, I don't know what the reason is."

Liu Shaoxian said: "Jie Shuai often said that the core of the organized violent group of the army lies in organization. How can the army's organizational ability be reflected? The first is discipline. After the students in the military academy graduate, they will be officers when they go out. Discipline is particularly important to them. There are also new recruit battalions in the military academy, which are stricter than the new recruit battalions of soldiers and harder training. If three months of training are not good, then the training will be extra three months. If the training is not good for three months, then the training will be kept in the military academy. If the training is not good after learning, then you cannot graduate. What we just saw is that they have been trained and the discipline is naturally strict."

Liu Ziyu nodded, wondering what Liu Shao said first. He asked why the people outside even walked in the same way. What did Liu Shao say about discipline? Does it mean that Wang Xiaoliu’s army have discipline in how to walk?

Of course there is discipline. In fact, in the army, walking, eating, sitting and lying, all kinds of movements are disciplined. We should maintain discipline in public places in military camps or military academies, and we should not do whatever we want.

The military academy went north and moved from Xinye to Shou'an, and began to become regular.

When I entered the military academy, everything was pursuing fast. As long as I learned, I immediately started to learn the following courses. The discipline requirements were not strict, and I just selected suitable students as quickly as possible. After arriving in Shou'an, the academic system was officially set for three years, with strict discipline and no longer simply pursuing fast.

In the past, there were shortages of officers. In order to expand the army, many generals graduated after studying in the military academy for one or half years. Things that could not be learned in the military academy would be learned again when they were in the army. Now that the officers are not so short, the requirements are of course different. To be honest, if you study in the school for three years, you will be qualified officers.

This military academy was built by Wang Xiaolijie's memory of his previous life and was connected with the recruits trained by the recruits. The military academy plus the recruits can quickly expand the scale of the army. To expand the army, it is nothing more than shortening the military academy system and recruiting a large number of new students.

If the local mobilization system is added, it will be similar to the national mobilization in later generations, and a total war can be launched.

This system was explored by European countries for a long time in order to expand the scale of the war. In terms of actual results, it is better than the effect of the entire nation in the Qin and Han dynasties in China. The training and learning of the new recruit battalions and military academies have been standardized, and the army can be expanded quickly.

Of course, the system is just a system. It is not that the army will come out with a system. With a system, we must take the system seriously and make necessary reforms to adapt to this system. As long as we are careful, this system can cultivate basically qualified army. Only when these basically qualified armies are fought on the battlefield, truly elite army will emerge.

Wang Xiaolie originally thought that he needed a large number of such troops to grow up in the war with the Jin army to be evenly matched with the Jin army. He did not expect that the Luoyang Guard Battle would be so easy to win. The basically qualified army from this system is already stronger than the Jin army.

The combat effectiveness of the army comes from organizational ability. Wang Xiaoli's army's organizational ability seemed very simple in later generations. But in this era, it was far stronger than the Jin army and even stronger than other armies.
