Chapter 016 Strive to be an inferior student
Tianjin Wubei School is the first modern military institution in the Qing Dynasty and the hope for the future of the Qing Dynasty. From the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Li Zhongtang, to the local officials in Tianjin, they all attach great importance to the school. Therefore, the management of the school is extremely strict, and the whole school is a heavily guarded military camp, which is more beneficial than prison.
The school has established a strict assessment system and attendance system. The fourth phase of Tianjin Military Academy has enrolled more than 500 students, divided into four subjects: step, horse, cannon and engineering, with 100 people in each subject. Three o'clock in the morning, afternoon and evening, and the shop has to be checked in the evening. There is a slight difference, and the illegal students are imprisoned together with the captain.
The school is surrounded by a circle of three-foot-high walls. The wall is heavily guarded, with many sentries, and the gate is strictly inspected. If you want to get out of the gate, the new students in the lower grades must have a special approval signed by the general office and the meeting office, which is slightly looser for senior students, but they also need a pass signed by teaching and supervision.
If any students try to escape, once they are caught, they will be punished as deserters and behead them to show the public!
And worse, due to Zhou Charter's special admission method, which makes him a special person in the school. He is always in the focus of the school officials and students. His every move has received strong attention, resulting in little private space in Zhou Charter.
In the eyes of others, Zhou Charter has a triple backer, and one is stronger than the other!
He is the brother of Master Xi, a student who can run an adult, and has a good personal relationship with Lord Ed.
Teaching is an official of the school, needless to say. The association is a member of the imperial court, and the Jin association is from the nobles of the Qing Dynasty and can participate in the center! As for the foreigner Ed, it is even more difficult, because in the Qing Dynasty, foreigners see more than half of the officials!
A person has such three backs, which can be said to be black and white, and the future is bright!
Therefore, the upper and lower levels of the school are envious of Zhou Charter. From the members of the school supervision, adjustment and general teaching, to the chefs, divisions and even ordinary students, they all care about Zhou Charter.
However, for Zhou Charter himself, this triple backer is the three disaster stars, or the three little ghosts who sent him into the ghost gate!
Being as a student of the meeting is to behead his head! Teaching Feng Guozhang as a brother was forced to be a brother. Moreover, Feng Guozhang took his head as a bet, which made Zhou Charter very angry. This big brother was really unrighteous!
As for being a friend of Mr. Ed, a foreign teacher, it is purely a misunderstanding. Ed witnessed the whole process of Zhou Charter's enrollment, and he had a good personal relationship with Feng Guozhang, and naturally became closer to Zhou Charter. In the eyes of others, he looks like Zhou Charter's friend. However, Zhou Charter knew that Ed was the witness of Feng Guozhang's bet with Na Jin. Once China and Japan were carried out, Ed would stand up to prove that Zhou Charter should replace Jin's beheading!
Zhou Charter secretly planned for half a month, looking for a way to escape, but the school was as alert as an iron bucket, and a fly could not fly out.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhou Charter had to find another way.
It didn't take long for Zhou Charter to find a simple and easy way out.
This way out can make him disgraced but leave Tianjin Wubei School openly.
That is to be expelled from the school as an inferior student.
Tianjin Military Academy is the highest military institution in the Qing Dynasty. The trainees will be officers of the Qing Dynasty Army in the future. The quality of officers determines the quality of the army. Therefore, the school has extremely strict requirements for students and extremely strict training. There is a monthly examination, and a quarterly examination every three months. For each examination, the court will send a master to host it. Sometimes, Li Hongzhang, Minister of Commerce and Governor of Zhili, Beiyang, will even personally examine the students. Each exam results are recorded, and if you fail three times in the exam, you will be classified as inferior students and eliminated.
The courses set up in the school include basic tactics, applied tactics, graphic tactics, strategy, ditch theory, ballistics, military science, field service, infantry exercises, balloon science, etc., and cultural subjects also include arithmetic, geometry, trigonometrics, algebra, geography, and Chinese and foreign history. These new Western courses are extremely strange to native Qing students. These students received private education from an early age and learned four books and five classics. Moreover, until the end of the 19th century, the way of selecting officers in the Qing Dynasty was still a martial arts examination, which was impossible to shoot the cold weapon subjects such as the bullseye, which was incompatible with modern infantry tactics.
The teaching of Tianjin Military Academy is basically German, and the Germans are naturally stereotyped and incompetual.
Therefore, many students can't adapt to school education at all. The fourth phase of students entered the school only three months, and 48 of the 500 students were eliminated in the first quarterly examination. The elimination rate is close to 10%!
It is extremely disgraceful to be eliminated from the school. Every student is a top soldier recommended by the battalion commander. If he is eliminated by the school, he will not only be looked down upon, but also the officer's face. At least, he will have a bad reputation as ignorant.
However, in the face of life and death plans, Zhou Charter can't care about reputation, as long as he can leave this headless place.
So, Zhou Charter's goal is to do your best to become an inferior student!
This goal is very easy to achieve, as long as you are lazy. This skill can be used by everyone. What's more, the Charter's performance in the new barracks of the 21st century is the worst, as long as he continues to maintain this state in the 19th century.
However, what Zhou Charter did not expect is that if you want to be a qualified inferior student, just like a qualified superior student, you can't work hard!
In the 21st century, Zhou Charter did not understand the Type 95 assault rifle, Type 03 rifle, Type 97 sniper rifle, Type 95 light machine gun, QJY88 general machine gun, QJZ89 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.
However, after playing with the Zhou Charter made by Hanyang for more than ten years, he knows the infantry weapons of the end of the 19th century. Whether it is imported Mauser guns, Schnader, Winchester, Schneider, or the guns and fast guns produced by the Qing Dynasty itself, as soon as he gets to Zhou Charter, he can play well with it a little familiar with it. Cooked.
Moreover, Zhou Charter is actually familiar with all kinds of guns, such as Gatling machine guns, mountain cannons and wild cannons, which are also familiar with the operation and tactics of the Qing army. With a little demonstration, he can fully master it and even draw inferences.
Zhou Charter is so proficient in weapons in the 19th century, thanks to two points.
First of all, he followed his grandfather to play Hanyang since he was a child. The old Hanyang is similar to the 19th century rifle, and the structural principle is much the same.
Secondly, although Zhou Charter only graduated from primary school in the 21st century, the level of mathematics teaching in primary schools in the 21st century has actually reached the mathematical level of the highest military university in the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century. You know, at the end of the 19th century, students in the Qing Dynasty had just come into contact with arithmetic, geometry and earth. For these Western studies, those students have no foundation, but Zhou Charter has a strong foundation.
Therefore, in Tianjin Wubei School, Zhou Charter can play as a top student.
Of course, Zhou Charter's goal is to be an inferior student, not a superior student. For this, he always keeps a clear mind - inferior students can keep their heads, and superior students mean moving.
Therefore, Zhou Charter kept a low profile, hid a bellyful of knowledge, hit the target and released an empty gun, answered the questions randomly in the written test, and taught questions without knowing each other, and made a look of an unsculpable idiot.
In this way, in no three months, he can walk out of the heavily guarded school.
However, eight months have passed, and no matter how hard he tries, the school has not eliminated him!
