Chapter 39 The Royal Military Academy

Chongzhen was so busy these days that even the Grand Secretary could find a beloved emperor. Can the Emperor not be busy? The Royal Military Academy and the Royal Training Institute opened at the same time. The Emperor was the first dean of the Royal Military Academy and the honorary president of the Royal Training Institute, so busy that he was not touched. Therefore, the Royal Club was completely managed by Wang Chengen. In fact, Wang Chengen's mind was also on technology and business. The daily operation of the Royal Club was handed over to Wen Tiecheng. Therefore, Wen Tiecheng asked the three young masters to fight for "killing Tartars" for free, which was no problem.

When the three returned to the inn, there was a mansion to inform them that the two sons of Yan Yang would go to take the qualification examination for the second phase of the Royal Military Academy a few days ago. The three asked for a pot of wine to celebrate Yan Yang and his two chances of becoming the emperor's disciples.

The first session of the Royal Military Academy has only 300 students, and the course is three months, and the crash course is a crash course! There is no way, we must quickly become an army. Just like the national football team in later generations, they hire a well-known foreign coach and then pull some players from various Chinese Super League teams. After two days of training, the coach may not even call some of the players' names, so they have to participate in the World Cup qualifiers. The situation is the same, and time is too late!

The Royal Military Academy has appointed a bunch of new instructors, including Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi, who are responsible for moral education classes, and several military town leaders Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo were all hired as honorary instructors. The honorary instructors are in military and political affairs. Chongzhen named and transferred four generals, Guo Yunlong, Huang Degong general Tian Xiong, Zuo Liangyu general Jin Shenghuan, and Gao Jie general Li Chengdong, and went to Beijing to serve in the Royal Military Academy. Half a year of vocational instructors. These four people were not good birds in history. Guo Yunlong took the lead in surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and never looked back. Tian Xiong later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and followed the Qing army wholeheartedly. After Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they transformed and turned back to become generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty. In short, these birds could do anything for the sake of their interests. At first, Wang Chengen had some doubts about bringing these four people to teach, and Wang Chengen said at the time:

"I said to the emperor, these birds are just mothers with milk. The emperor brought them here. If the students are taught badly, what should we do!"

Chongzhen shrugged and said:

"I want to ask Sun Chuanting to teach like this. We must be virtuous, talented, and original in tactical arts. But wasn't Lord Sun beaten to death by Li Zicheng? What should I do? I want to teach later war examples, and I can't bring up a bunch of hearsays to tell examples! These people are not very good, but after bloody battles, they are truly warriors with experience on the battlefield. Letting them show up is better than those who have never been to the battlefield! As for virtue, even Wu Sangui, the biggest surrender in history, we have tolerated it and have a heavy responsibility! Besides, there are so many loyal Kuomintang instructors in the Whampoa Military Academy, and the Communist students who are studying there are not a red heart! Let’s ask Shi Kefa, and Qian Qianyi’s preaching is also preventing problems before it happens! What’s more, my level of speech is now gaining the essence of ancient and modern times, and it is more than enough to fool those young students. We have a 'orthodox' brand that can suppress these emperor students. This is not a fun thing. Even if there are so many scum, it doesn’t matter. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds! The big waves wash away the sand, that’s the reason! What are you afraid of!”

After Chongzhen said a few words, Wang Chengen lost his words.

Chongzhen's bragging level in later generations was already extraordinary, and even giving physical education classes could make students listen to it with relish. Now, he was stimulated by Wang Chengen's "personal worship" plan and was sought after by all kinds of fans. He was more confident. Therefore, Chongzhen's speech level was upgraded quickly, and even Wang Chengen felt ashamed and often couldn't help but sigh: If this continues, when bragging, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the emperor!

Shi Kefa's lectures were the most boring. The way of Confucius and Mencius was a bit dry in his mouth. Listening to his lectures by the Prime Minister made people drowsy. Of course, the highest ideal of these scholars in their lifetime is to become the Prime Minister himself. So even if Shi Kefa hits wooden fish on the stage and recites scriptures, these children still sharpen their ears, for fear of missing a word.

Qian Qianyi's lectures were quite vivid. As the leader of the Donglin Party, his eloquence was certainly not the level of ordinary people. I don't know whether he, the leader of the Donglin Party, was based on literary talent or eloquence. Qian occasionally had a sense of humor, which could arouse the interest of students. Therefore, the students were a little fascinated by this kind of lecture that belonged to the category of political lessons in later generations. For example, Qian Qianyi showed the students a Manchu version of the Qing Dynasty. Qian pointed out that the Qing Dynasty was ambitious and coveted the Ming Dynasty. Once it succeeded, it would subvert Confucius and Mencius. Even the words had to be replaced by this kind of worm-like thing. Therefore, the students became very eager to share the same hatred of the enemy and spontaneously linked the resistance to the Qing Dynasty and defend Confucianism. Therefore, Qian's lectures often resonated with students, and the effect was not ordinary.

Zhao Yijun is a direct disciple of Chongzhen. At least he has the experience of fighting with bandits and encountering the Dashun Army. He has experience in cold weapons combat and hot weapons combat. So Chongzhen gave the opportunity to Zhao Yijun a young student who is prepared and good at seizing opportunities, and asked this disciple to be responsible for the first-stage trainees' queue, physical fitness and basic tactical training. Zhao Yijun lived up to Chongzhen's high hopes and strictly implemented Chongzhen's training guiding principles of "Three Follows One Major". As a result, 35 were eliminated in the training, 300 students were eliminated, leaving 265 students. The "Three Follows One Major" is the abbreviation of "strict, difficult, starting from actual combat, and training in large amounts of exercise". It is one of the main training principles of Chinese competitive sports in later generations.

This training principle originated from the PLA's combat training principle. It was first proposed by the Chinese sports community in 1964 in the process of learning the PLA's Guo Xingfu-style teaching method. It played a great role in the development of competitive sports in the early days of China. As a person in the later sports world, Chongzhen was so familiar with this training principle that he could not be more familiar with it, so he copied it naturally. Zhao Yijun asked the students to shout "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime" every day, and then devoted himself to harsh training. In fact, it is harsh to say that it is harsh.

That was only considered in the eyes of these scholars. Chongzhen had reduced the amount appropriately. After all, this was to train grassroots officers, not to train big-headed soldiers, nor to train special forces. Even so, there were still thirty-five scholars who could not stand the pain. The ones who were defeated were immediately accepted as treasure by the Royal Military Engineering Academy chaired by Wang Chengen. These people received rigorous training, paid attention to discipline and cooperation, and entered the first period based on their ability. Such talents are really rare and cannot be let go.

Zhou Chong was appointed as a martial arts instructor, but in fact he taught only the Ming Dynasty version of the later generations of bayonets. The 44-type rifle was equipped with bayonets. Chongzhen first used wood to snatch the few moves of bayonets in later generations, and then he let Zhou Chong and Zhao Yijun practice with each other. Zhou Chong's martial arts skills were very powerful, with higher speed, strength and response, and soon defeated Zhao Yijun. Chongzhen asked Zhao Yijun to assist Zhou Chong and summarized the snatch technique. Finally, after repeated exploration, the Ming Dynasty version of the snatch technique was officially released, and Zhou Chong was responsible for the students' snatch training.

Liu Ergang is responsible for shooting training, and Zhou Chong and Zhou Gongzi are shooting assistants. The reason why they can only be used as assistants. Zhou Gongzi, whose name is Zhou Weiming, is too young, so they can only be used as assistants. Zhou Chong's shooting posture is too irregular. Although coach Zhou can shoot at the same time with both hands, his posture is particularly strange. Although the posture is strange, his shooting skills are quite accurate, especially holding a gun with one hand to accurately hit the target, which even Chongzhen can't do. Zhou Chong is a talent, and he can't really teach students that he can't learn his posture, so Zhou Chong can only be an assistant in shooting. His role is more about performance and arousing the fighting spirit of the students.

After one hour of training every afternoon, there are tactical theory classes and moral education classes. Every afternoon, half of the people listen to Chongzhen personally teach tactical theory.

After all, Chongzhen had limited understanding of the cold weapon combat system, but based on the two comparisons that Wang Chengen knew, Hannibal's tactics briefly explained, and made a key introduction to the Mongolian Manguda tactics. Some hot weapon tactics were formed by absorbing the Manguda tactics. To establish a new army, cold weapons were of course abandoned, so the focus was on the tactics of hot weapons. Speaking of hot weapons tactics, Chongzhen was the next step in the process of building a new army.

He was influenced by the world and was also a military fan. He had all kinds of hot weapons and tactics in his mind, including Opium War, Warlords fighting melee, World War I, World War II, Red Army, White Army, Russo-Japanese War, Anti-Japanese, Civil War, Korean War, Counterattack against India and Counterattack against Vietnam, which were all in one go. Fortunately, I was a teacher in my later generations, and with materials, I would not have to worry about how to write lesson plans.

Of course, lesson plans need to be written, and lesson preparation is always required! However, when Chongzhen was giving lectures, he gave up the lesson plans as he spoke, improvised, and talked endlessly. Unfortunately, Wang Chengen didn’t have time to listen to Chongzhen’s nonsense, otherwise he really didn’t know how a group of students would have worshipped Chongzhen as a god after listening to them. Chongzhen edited Lao Mao’s quotations, such as adapting "Practice, Know, Practice, and Know" into "Practical, Summary, and Practical, and Summary." Then he played out the movie experiences of "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare" and "North Battle". A Korean War asked Chongzhen to use amphibious landing tactics, interspersed encirclement tactics, magnetic tactics, tunnel tactics, zero-knock ketchup tactics, logistics war tactics, etc.

I had a lot of fun. Anyway, Chongzhen had countless battle examples in his mind. He could only sum it up casually. It was a set of tactics. There were also "one point and two sides", "three three systems", infantry and artillery coordinated tactics, trench tactics, elastic defense tactics, and various guerrilla tactics. Once Chongzhen failed to confiscate his mouth and said the word "tank". Then he remembered that this was the 17th century and the tank had not yet been seen, otherwise the "blitzkrieg" tactics of World War II would have been told. When he was about to come, Chongzhen could not help but want to instill the concept of "blitzkrieg" into his disciples, and had no choice but to use the story of "Li Chengxue's snowy night to Caizhou". After that, he felt that it was really difficult to play, and he was still unsatisfied, and he was still unhappy!

The most speechless thing was that Chongzhen conflated competitive sports and combat. Chongzhen thought, competitive sports and combat were similar, so when Chongzhen gave a lecture, he also talked about the offensive and defensive tactics of several footballs, which made the students feel very clear after listening to it!

Physical fitness, will, discipline, technology, and tactics are nothing more than this! This is like fighting. Different opponents have to formulate different tactics. When encountering weak ones, use skills to play with them; when encountering strong ones, they will defend and counterattack, and wait for an opportunity to attack. What is "fast, ruthless, accurate, live"! What is "small, fast, spiritual"! Ha, that's it anyway! You really can't figure out whether he is talking about football or fighting, or even philosophy. Anyway, there are sports, combat, and there are also insightful sentences and adaptations of Mao's selection. When Chongzhen's lecture was heard, you have to admire him for being a witty word after listening to it. He can tell the cruel knowledge of combat so popularly and interestingly. This skill is the only one of Chongzhen in today's world!

Chongzhen's bubbles flew everywhere, citing scriptures on the stage, copying three robbers and four robbers, suddenly there were sports vocabulary, philosophical mottos, and suddenly tactical terms, they were free to pick them up and use them freely. Chongzhen's tactical lessons made a group of new recruits from scholars crazy. As for the guards and eunuchs who didn't study much, they were even stunned by Chongzhen's! The four generals also listened, and after listening, they were also promising.

In fact, any military fan in later generations knows what Chongzhen said, the massive military publications, movies and TVs in later generations, and has made all kinds of tactics popular, so it is not a big skill to be able to tell these things. But it is indeed not easy to describe cruel and boring tactics as fascinating as Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was fascinated by teaching students in the military academy. In addition, he also had to tutor the four rude generals how to explain the war examples, and he also had to free up his energy and time to meet officials under the ninth rank who came to the royal training center in various places and give impromptu speeches. Therefore, during this period, Chongzhen even abandoned the emperor's job.
