In the first year of the reign of King Ding, the Army Officer Academy of the Ming Dynasty moved from Huangpu Island in Guangzhou to Xiaolingwei in the outer city of Nanjing, so it is also called Xiaolingwei Lecture Hall.

Originally, when we were on Huangpu Island in Guangzhou, the Army Officer Academy was in its infancy stage and was not very formal. After all, the New Ming Army was still a grassroots team, and it happened to be experiencing a military revolution. Even the top brass of the New Ming Army did not know about it.

What should the war in the new era look like? So they can only use the old tactical formation as the main body, stuffing new things into it bit by bit, and finally come up with a set that is half new, half old, and a little bit...

Something came out half-baked, even a little sloppy.

The tactics of the Ming army at that time had four major characteristics: first, the attack relied on a small number of elite troops; second, Zhu Heji always took risks; third, defense relied on digging earth trenches; fourth, the output of firepower relied on sugar and medicine.

The main reason why such a set of tactics was formed was that Zhu Heji's army was originally composed of a small number of elites, a large number of mobilized troops, and unparalleled firepower.

And those elites were developed from the young soldiers of Danan Mountain, and they can be said to be Zhu Heji's partners. Although they are small in number, they are proficient in various sugar and medicine weapons and have rich battlefield experience. Under Zhu Heji, an old soldier,

Under the leadership of the eldest brother, he is extremely brave and proactive. If it were someone else to lead them, it would not be very useful.

Therefore, Zhu Heji, who was adventurous by nature, always led these elites to fight fiercely on the battlefield... In fact, as the founding king, this kind of adventurous gameplay is quite normal. Not to mention how old he is.

There are a bunch of adventurous kings from the old Liu family and Li Shimin and Li Cunxu from the big and small Tang families. Even in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the two reckless emperors Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were also so reckless, otherwise they would not have died so badly.

So dramatic.

But after the incident where Obo Ling was shot in the chest, Zhu Heji realized that it was no longer enough to charge into battle like this... Today's muskets are so powerful! Not only are there muskets, but there are also more deadly rifled guns!

Therefore, during the Battle of Nanjing, Zhu Heji refrained from going to the front line.

However, during the battlefield summary after the battles in Nanjing and Anqing, Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe and others all discovered that their Ming army was actually not that strong...especially when Zhu Heji himself was not on the battlefield.

When I went up, the people below were a little bit less interested.

They were weak when attacking, passively cowered when defending, and units were often out of touch. It was even more difficult for the commander-in-chief on the battlefield to mobilize the troops. In many cases, the troops fell into chaos as they walked. On the Anqing battlefield, the Qing Dynasty

The army also took advantage of the chaos in the Ming army's dispatch to fight many beautiful counterattacks!

If the sugar-powder rocket launchers weren't so powerful, Anqing City might not even be able to be defeated!

After further in-depth research, Zhu Heji, Zhuge Sanhe and others quickly found the reason... The reason is not complicated, it is that the army created by Zhu Heji is not good at fighting!

The organization, training, command, etc. of the troops were not good, even worse than the elite Qing army, and even worse than the Wu Zhou army with Wu Sangui.

The reason why we can always win battles is because the morale of the troops is high, the logistics are sufficient, and the firepower has an overwhelming advantage.

In later generations’ terminology, they are tycoon players who earn money!

However, this advantage is becoming weaker and weaker as the scale of the war continues to expand and the front moves northward, as well as the opponent's mastery of sugar and medicine and the improvement of gunpowder weapons!

Because after the scale of the war expanded, there were more troops on the battlefield. Zhu Heji could no longer rely on the fierce fighting of a small number of old brothers to win the battle.

Therefore, Zhu Heji must help his old brothers grow from excellent soldiers to qualified officers as soon as possible!

At the same time, he must also work with his staff to come up with a new set of tactics by summarizing the experience gained in actual combat and exercises.

This is what the Army Officer School at Xiaolingwei does!

In order to take care of his old brothers, Zhu Heji even served as the principal of the military academy... and became Principal Zhu!

Then he did it himself, in line with the "commodity principle" of selecting generals from the dwarfs, and first selected a group of "tactical experts" from the army to serve as teachers, and divided them into infantry, artillery, engineers, and cavalry.

, baggage, manager, military orders and other seven majors. They also asked for some references to tactical regulations and drills from Western countries - in fact, they couldn't find many. The military education in Western countries was not formal these days. Then Zhu Heji

Then he took the "dwarf generals" to start organizing and exploring.

After a year of busy work, I finally produced seven professional drills, a set of doctrines common to all arms. It also summarized battlefield lines, battlefield columns, marching columns, hollow squares, car-fort squares, and cavalry assault teams.

The arrangement and organization of various formations such as cavalry guerrillas and skirmishers... Although this set of things is not perfect, it is already the best thing that can be produced at present.

So Zhu Heji distributed these drills, orders, and formation diagrams to the troops, and at the same time summoned 167 "young old brothers" to "make up lessons" at Xiaolingwei Lecture Hall in Nanjing. This is the so-called filial piety.

Lingwei Phase 1!

In order to allow these first-term disciples to learn their true skills, Zhu Heji also set up a fully staffed "teaching town" in Nanjing specifically for these senior brothers of the first-term Xiaoling Guard to practice their skills.

At the same time, in order to allow them to study and work with peace of mind, they built houses for them in Nanjing and brought their families over from Guangdong. For those who did not have a family, they also found ways to be matchmakers for them... It can be said that they are meticulous!

Although these old brothers from the first batch of Xiaoling Guards entered school at the same time, they graduated and returned to the army at different times. In order not to delay the training and combat readiness of the troops, Zhu Heji divided them into "long-term classes" and "short-term classes"

, the old brothers who will serve as leaders (company commanders) and deputy leaders (platoon leaders) in arms such as infantry, artillery, cavalry, and baggage workers will all join the short class. After the one-year course, they will all return to the team to lead troops. So last year

In September, thousands of students left, and the rest were students in the long-term class...According to their principal Zhu, these people are all the seeds of famous generals. Now they can study hard and learn more.

Only with your own abilities can you become a famous general in the future!

Although Principal Zhu's words are correct, these young officers who have achieved success and have served as generals, generals, or staff officers in the army, see their subordinates happily leading the troops, but they still have to be honest.

As a real student, you have to complete more and more difficult studies. If you fail the exam, you will have to be scolded by Principal Zhu, Principal Zhuge, Principal Su, Principal Ling, and Principal Zhao. Sometimes you will even be punished by those who serve in the military academy.

Visiting professors from Hanlin University and Jinling University commented that they really miss the life of leading soldiers in the army.

But when can you guys leave the army to lead troops and go to the battlefield to make achievements?

Just when this boring life of studying, taking exams, and being scolded seemed to last forever, the good news finally came.

The North Korean side raised the flag of righteousness against the Qing Dynasty, and there was also a leader named Ming'an who admired their president Zhu Da. He was actually elected by the North Korean martyrs as a powerful official in state affairs... It seems that during the Northern Expedition

The war must be fought.

These old brothers are very familiar with Principal Zhu's noble character. How could this saintly principal put a beautiful lady who bravely stood up for him and resisted Kang Mazi's tyranny into danger?

At this moment, President Zhu must be impatient to go to North Korea to be a hero and save the United States.

Of course they, the principal's good students, must follow them to make contributions!

So when the news came to the Xiaolingwei Lecture Hall, the old brothers here were like a boiling pot. In the morning, they could not hold back any noise while following the evil Ling Ling Zongjun in morning exercises, and waited for everyone to return.

After entering the lecture hall, I no longer had the time to attend classes... Especially the math class I took with Professor Mei Dingwen of Jinling University, it turned into a duck pond, noisy and noisy.

, which made Professor Mei Da dumbfounded.

Seeing that Professor Mei Da was so stupid, the students below became even louder in their discussions.

"I heard that Princess Ming'an is a famous beauty in North Korea...and she is deeply passionate about our saint!"

"Nonsense... The saint has never been to North Korea, and Ming An has never been to Ming Dynasty. He has never met both sides. How can he be so deeply in love?"

"Images of saints are everywhere! We have them in our classrooms, and they are also hung in Confucian schools or public schools. Princess Ming'an must have seen them too. Our saint is such a majestic man. How can she not

Are you deeply in love?"

"That's right...as soon as the saint sends out troops, our opportunity to make great achievements will be here!"

"Of course! Maybe we can kill Kang Mazi again in North Korea!"
Chapter completed!
