The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 126 Luoyang City Affairs 2

Liu Xia's face suddenly showed joy after hearing this and said, "How can there be so many people? Then Benhou saw him. You arrange for him to come over at that time. I want to see if these people are available.

Chen Liu smiled and said, "General, these people have been preliminarily screened. There were a lot of people who originally defected, but most of them were mediocre or dead nerds. These people arranged them to the East City, with more than 200 people. If the general wants to meet, my subordinates will let them come over sometime.

Liu Xia said, "Well, let them get the two groups of people together first, and then General Ben specially came up with a test question for them to answer. If they pass, let them come over, and I will ask them carefully."

Chen Liu said, "I don't know how the general's test question is. Is it still the examination of four books and five classics like the imperial examination?

Liu Xia shook her head and said, "Otherwise, otherwise, this test question is not the examination of the four books and five classics. The four books and five classics are the truth of life, not the way to do things. Later, I will go down to find some strengths encountered in the official journey and adapt them into test questions for them to answer. I want people who can do things, not people who can only read.

Chen Liu pondered for a while, and then smiled and said, "General, this is a good idea. From these test questions, we can see what they will do after encountering those things. It can also be determined whether these people are mediocre or good at doing things. It's just a general, the officials in our cities are no longer as simple as only a county magistrate. At the same time, they also need the court and so on. Do we want them to take the same test questions?

Liu Xia said: "In this exam, I will take civil affairs, law, and other exams. However, some professional departments need to add a little more assessment. For example, if an agricultural administration department will be established later, it will naturally take some things about agriculture. If a senior official in charge of agriculture doesn't know what agriculture is, how can he manage it? As for the specific details, you can do it slowly after you go down.

Chen Liu was helpless. Liu Xia asked him to do this, and he could only find a way by himself. Nowadays, Chen Liu is a person who has more part-time jobs and does everything at the same time, shuttling through the military and political circles and civil affairs circles at the same time. He is not only the general director of the military and political department, but also the president of the Supreme Court in civil affairs.

"General, I'm going to set up an armament school." Liu Xia said solemnly.

"Arms School? General, what is this? Rui Junai, the magistrate of Luoyang County, questioned.

Now everyone has been numbed by the many unheard-of things Liu Xia said, and now those generals have not raised questions at the first time. This time, Rui Junai, the magistrate of Luoyang County, saw that everyone had not spoken for a long time, so he asked.

Liu Xia smiled and said, "This armament school is naturally a school, a teaching place."

"Where to teach? Does the marquis want to run a college? I don't know what the general's college is going to teach?" Rui Junai asked.

Liu Xia smiled and said, "This is not an ordinary school, a college. This college does not teach four books and five classics, nor does it teach poetry and etiquette. The people who teach in this school are not to participate in the imperial examination.

Liu Xia's words made everyone's appetite hung up. Although Chen Liu had long known that Liu Xia wanted to prepare for the school, he did not know what kind of school Liu Xia wanted to run, so he asked, "What on earth is the general doing in this school?"

Liu Xia no longer circled, so she smiled and said, "This military school is to import low-level officers for the army. In the future, after the school is built, all officers will have to enter the school to study, and at the same time recruit some educated and loyal soldiers in the army. He studied further in the school and served as a lieutenant when he came out.

Chen Liu listened and frowned. Then Rui Junai asked, "Is this a school specializing in training soldiers?" It's really unheard of. This school has always been a place to train literati. Now the generals train soldiers..."

Liu Xia said: "Soldiers are not all old and rude. Soldiers also need to know how to write and understand the art of war so that they can fight better. If I issue a secret order, as a battalion commander, a captain can't understand the order because he can't read, what should he do? Moreover, in the future, the battle will be more and more inclined to small troops, and the role of the lieutenant will naturally appear. At the same time, what I want is not an illiterate army that knows nothing, but a unit that knows the art of war, is disciplined and educated.

After all, Rui Junai is not from the military and political circles, so it is inconvenient to talk about it. Under Liu Xia, it is divided into military and political affairs. These two aspects do not intersect with each other, that is, the people of civil affairs have no direct relationship to the military and political people. They are not in the same system. The people of civil affairs do not have the right to order the military and political people, if it is civil affairs. People in the military and political circles look at corruption and so on. People in general can sue the inspectors department, not the court. The inspection department is a judicial and investigation department for people in the military and political circles, while the court is a judicial department for civil affairs and the people. People in the military and political circles are not all old and rude. They are all people who dance with knives and guns, and there are also literati. For example, Chen Liu, the military division is also a person in the military and political circles.

Chen Liu, as the chief of the Military Department, then asked, "I don't know how the general set up a school? What else are you teaching?"

Liu Xia said, "The name of this school is temporarily called Luoyang Army Armament School. The school site is built next to the War Soul Mausoleum. The drawings of the school site have been drawn by Benhou. After that, I will give the drawings to you and Wang En, and you two will discuss how to do it. This army armament school teaches soldiers military knowledge, military tactics and culture and morality. At present, the scout investigation section, the artillery section, the cavalry section, the infantry section, the military division section, and the engineering section are opened first.

Among them, the chief professor of the scout investigation department is Yu Mingjun, who can come to class from time to time, and the rest of the ordinary professors select some experienced soldiers who are disabled and unable to go to the battlefield in the Yingyang camp. The students of the investigation department recommend some positive and ordinary non-commissioned officers who usually perform well from the Yingyang Camp and other regimental scouts.

Although the Yingyang Camp is a special brigade of Liu Xia, they have fundamentally evolved from the scout, so for the personnel of the chief professor of the scout, Liu Xia still decided to let Yu Mingjun serve.

There are only 200 people in the Yingyang camp that met Mingjun, but according to Liu Xia's order, the Yingyang camp will be expanded to 400 people later. The additional 200 people were selected from the scouts in other regiments except the pro-guard regiment.

"Yes! I must be a good general professor. Yu Mingjun said solemnly.

Liu Xia paused and said, "The artillery department, as the name implies, is to cultivate the artillery. Now there are not many artillery in the Pingbei Army, and the technology is also uneven. Most of them will not fire shells and aim accurately. After all, there is no professional professor. In the future, the chief professor of the Artillery Department will be Wang Xiaotong, the battalion commander of the Artillery Battalion, and then find a few experienced instructors.

Wang Xiaotong's face showed joy. It has always been his wish to revive the artillery, and it is also his long-cherished wish to let the artillery carry forward. Now that he has such an opportunity, he is naturally very happy. He said, "General, don't worry, your subordinates will teach the students well and train a batch of excellent artillery officers."

Liu Xia nodded and said, "The chief professor of the cavalry department and the infantry department will choose a person with better equestrian skills in the army, and at the same time find a few more teachers. The task of finding someone is entrusted to Liu Dazhuang. How many people are you going to choose from the army?

Liu Dazhuang bowed respectfully, "I obey."

"To the engineering department. This engineer is responsible for technical work such as heavy construction in the army, and the logistics department sends someone to serve. Wang En, go find some people."

Wang En said solemnly, "I obey."

"Military division subjects, as the name implies, are teaching military teachers. This subject is different from other subjects. Some scholars are selected to join in this subject, and Chen Liu is the chief professor. At the same time, Chen Liu served as the chief professor of military science in all subjects, and Ben Hou served as the professor of thought among them, teaching the thoughts of students in all subjects. Liu Xia's move is naturally to directly regard these students from the Armament School as his disciples. In this way, he can get the loyalty of these students. At the same time, Liu Xia's existence as a hero is very influential in the Pingbei Army, and there are countless people who worship Liu Xia. Liu Xia served as the head of the mountain, and the person who entered the school to study was Liu Xia's direct disciple. This is a very high honor. There must be a lot of people who want to step in.

"General, if this school is established, you will be promoted in the army in the future..." Chen Liu doubted.

Liu Xia smiled and said, "If you want to be an officer in the future, you must be trained in the school for a period of time. Only after graduation can you return to the army as an officer. There can be no special case. After making credit in the battle, non-commissioned officers or soldiers who are qualified to be promoted to officers will be arranged to study in the school after the war."

Liu Xia served as the mountain chief. In the future, aren't all the officers Liu Xia's disciples? Even if Liu Xia is just a registered existence, the influence is not comparable to others.

"At present, these subjects will be set up first, and some more subjects will be added later depending on the situation. When you go back, tell the soldiers about this news. If you don't know how to read, you can learn it. Let the soldiers not be afraid, just sign up if they are qualified.

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.

"The last thing is my big marriage."

Chen Liu said suspiciously, "But Mrs. Bian and the general?"

Liu Xia laughed and said, "It's exactly this matter. This big wedding doesn't need to be too extravagant. Now we haven't stood firm enough to attract everyone's attention. It's okay to be ordinary. Wang En, please go down and arrange this matter. When is Chen Liu's latest auspicious day?

Chen Liu thought for a while and smiled, "General, it will be a good day on the ninth day of September next month."

Liu Xia immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then on the ninth day of September."
