Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 350

Outside the city of Xuzhou, there is an unnamed mountain named Qingyuan.

What Wuming said was that he was not well-known, after all, this mountain was neither tall nor dangerous, and even the map was just a rough sketch of a mountain.

Not even a name.

But these days, Qingyuan Mountain is quite lively.

Because Qi Hou has his eyes on this land.

"Want to build a military academy in Qingyuan Mountain?"

Xu Shu and Deng Ai looked at each other with confused faces.

What is a military academy?

Yuan Tan looked at the duo who were puzzled, and said with a smile: "Xuzhou now has 6 regular soldiers. Among these [-] people, there are not many veterans who really followed me in the Southern and Northern Wars, only half of them."

Yuan Tan patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and reminded him, "Do you still remember the training ground I built after I conquered Xuzhou?"

When Yuan Tan mentioned it, Xu Shu immediately remembered.

After the prince conquered Xuzhou before, he collected a large number of surrendered soldiers, which greatly made up for the embarrassment of Yuan Tan's lack of troops when he first arrived in Xuzhou.

And those Cao Wei's surrendered soldiers, after more than a month of training in the training ground, their energy and spirit have improved by more than [-]%.

Thinking about it until now, Xu Shu still feels that his teacher and master has a lot of strategies in mind, which makes him extremely respectful.

"Teacher, what you mean is to build a larger training ground at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain?"

Yuan Tan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes, and no."

Yuan Tan's thoughts are far more far-reaching than Xu Shu's.

Not to mention Xu Shu, even Yuan Tan himself was slightly shocked by the effect of the simple training ground in Xuzhou.

In this ancient times, systematic physical training for soldiers was simply unheard of.

The routine drills of the soldiers are nothing more than practicing a few routines of martial arts with the instructors in the army.

The improvement of physical fitness is purely consumed by a large amount of mechanical exercise.

This method is unscientific and not very efficient.

Yuan Tan established this military academy with the intention of retraining the [-] regular soldiers.

I also want to take this opportunity to establish an institution similar to Jiang Zuoyuan.

At present, the subjects in the General Academy are clearly divided. For casting alone, it is divided into armaments department, armor department, repair department, etc.

The advantage of such a clear subject is that apprentices can quickly and systematically master a craft, and find their place in the General Academy where the assembly line craft has been promoted.

With the accumulation of experience and the growth of knowledge, you can also apply for transfer to other masters to learn other skills.

After the final mastery, a brand new master craftsman is released.

Yuan Tan's conception of the military academy is roughly the same.

"In the military academy, three regular subjects and three elective training subjects are planned."

The regular subjects are riding, physical fitness, and literacy.

The elective subjects are archery, spear skills, and sword skills.

The training time for Xuzhou Zhengbing is three months. After three months, each Zhengbing needs to pass the assessment of at least three regular subjects, and then complete the assessment of one elective subject.

Fang can officially enter the sequence of Xuzhou Zhengbing.

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Xu Shu and Deng Ai were taken aback.

"Literacy? What does the teacher mean, that everyone in Xuzhou must be literate?"

Deng Ai and Xu Shu were both in a daze.

Scholars these days still maintain the foolish idea that "the people can do it but not know it."

Even though Xu Shu and Deng Ai have always been by Yuan Tan's side, this kind of thinking based on their hearts is still difficult to change for a while.

Hearing that Yuan Tan wanted to teach these fighters how to read, both of them were a little surprised.

"What? Do you think you can't learn Chinese characters by fighting against each other?"

Yuan Tan frowned, looked at the two of them, and asked calmly.

Although his tone was flat, Xu Shu and Deng Ai did not dare to neglect the hidden anger in his words, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I dare not, but I just feel that in three months, those regular soldiers will have to practice daily again. I have to learn to read again, I am afraid it will be difficult for some strong people."

Yuan Tan waved his hands and said with a smile: "No matter how bad those soldiers are, they are all veterans who have been trained on the battlefield. Those regular subjects are just easy for them."

What's more, Yuan Tan didn't plan to rely on a military academy, a simple literacy subject to be able to train a large group of well-read soldiers.

That's pure daydreaming.

All he wanted was for these soldiers to simply learn some words after they came out of the military academy.

It doesn't take too much. In three months, each soldier needs to master at least a hundred common words and be able to write his own name.

After hearing Yuan Tan's standards, Xu Shu and Deng Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that the teacher would set up a private school in the military academy to teach Confucian classics on a whim.

It is not impossible to build private schools. After all, at the end of the Han Dynasty, private schools had already flourished. Not to mention Zheng Xuan in Beihai, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong in Luoyang, which one of them was not famous for his own lectures?
But the question is who is the target of your private school.

If you recruit scholars, there is absolutely no problem. Not to mention the reputation of scholars, the aristocratic families will support them with both hands and feet, and maybe even wave their hands, asking for money and food, as long as they give it to you. It is enough for our children to reserve a place in private schools.

But if you go to give lectures to those big soldiers, common people, traffickers and pawns, you are going against the aristocratic families.

At that time, it is conceivable that Qi Hou's name will be slandered into a mess by the family in a short period of time.

It is impossible to say that another joint army to discuss Yuan will be formed.

Just teach some basic characters and you'll be fine.

The reactions of Xu Shu and Deng Ai were all caught in Yuan Tan's eyes, and he shook his head imperceptibly.

Xu Shu and Deng Ai's loyalty to him was unquestionable, but they had the same expressions when they heard that they were planning to build a military academy.

Yuan Tan believed that they opposed him because of the position of some aristocratic family.

On the contrary, it was precisely because Xu Shu and Deng Ai wanted to help Yuan Tan achieve his great cause that they tried their best to discourage Yuan Tan.

The purpose is to avoid the situation where Yuan Tan is attacked by all the princes in the world.

It can be seen from this that it is still too early to carry out large-scale development of military science and impart knowledge to the lower classes.

Yuan Tan shook his head, he was not surprised by this, nor was he disappointed.

Anyway, he has already taken the first step.

The current military science seems insignificant, even like a pebble thrown into the muddy water of the big man, it is estimated that it will not even make a splash.

But as long as you work steadily and slowly, sooner or later, you will be able to rely on this stone and set off a stormy sea.

Immediately, Yuan Tan said with a smile: "In addition, this military science has another advantage. In the future, when our army is reducing its troops, we can also directly recruit them from the military science."

Yuan Tan nodded at the military science in front of him, which had just laid its foundation, and said calmly.

"In this military school, in addition to the [-] regular soldiers, by May, there will also be [-] refugees recruited from Hebei to enter together."

"After three months, the mediocre will go up and the able ones will go down. Those who fail the assessment will stay in the military academy and continue to start a new three-month rotation study. After another three months, if they still fail the assessment, they will be sent to the military school directly. After leaving the military academy, he became a civilian household in Xuzhou."

As for the soldiers who passed the assessment, they will serve as the reserve army of his Xuzhou Army. Once the Xuzhou Army suffers large-scale damage, they can be directly supplemented by soldiers from these military schools.
