April Zhenjiang, misty rain.

After coming out of the Grand Governor’s Mansion, Zhou Shixiang came to Daijiashan, which was selected by the military last year as the location of the Jiangnan Army University. After half a year of construction, the once barren Daijia Mountain has a new look. The rows of school buildings painted with white lime looked so white and fresh in the misty rain.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Army University. As the president of the Army University, Zhou Shixiang, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, must attend. To this end, he even postponed the meeting with the first assistant Guo Zhiqi. After knowing that Zhou Shixiang went to the Army University, Guo Zhiqi’s expression was a little complicated. In the end, he smiled bitterly and continued to read the notes sent by Zhou Shixiang about the gentry from various places.

“You are handsome!”

With a loud cry, Zhou Shixiang, surrounded by a crowd of civil and military officials, jumped off his horse and came to the gate of Jiangnan Army University.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, his personal guard Xu Zhongyi hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella to protect the commander from the rain, but Zhou Shixiang waved him to step aside.

The wind is strong and the rain is heavy, although he will get wet, but Zhou Shixiang would rather let himself get wet like this, and he does not need an oil-paper umbrella on his head, because his subordinates are waiting for him in the wind and rain.

With the sound of “The Commander Arrives”, the eyes of the 1,200 Army University students who were divided into ten square formations converged to one place.

Zhou Shixiang stepped forward step by step in the wind and rain, passing in front of the rows of squares, and finally came to the high platform specially built by the school on the square.

Below the high platform is a statue of a general with a prancing horse and a sword.

There are different opinions on who the original form of this general statue is, and in later generations, it is still a puzzle of the Army University.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the squares in the square, looking at the young faces, Zhou Shixiang was proud and sighed.

Because of him, there is today’s Taiping Army, today’s Jiangnan Army University, and today’s high-spirited young people gathered in one place.

He is a pioneer, a leader, and the core of this young team.

Zhou Shixiang was very proud that this Army University was the first regular military school he created for China and also for the Han nationality. In the future, there will be a large number of military officers here, who will take on the important task of national defense and the task of leading the tribe to the world. And he, like a sower, buried the seeds in the soil, and then took care of them, waiting for the moment when the broken buds grew into a towering tree.

At present, the Taiping Army has three military academies, one is the military training workshop in Guangzhou, the other is the military training school in Nandu, and the other is the Jiangnan Army University in Zhenjiang.

The Military Training Institute in Guangzhou was the earliest military school of the Taiping Army. Because the Taiping Army was always at war at that time, the students who were transferred to the Military Training Institute could only have three to six months for training, so the subjects of the Military Training Institute were rare. The main course is to practice horse team, infantry team, artillery team and marching, formation, splitting, attacking and defending. The level of the cadets is also low, and most of them are middle and low-level officers in the army.

As the political center of the Taiping Army turned to the north, the Guangzhou Military Armament Workshop is now mainly responsible for the training of low-level officers in Guangdong, Guangxi and Southwest China and the Annan Expeditionary Force with less than 100 households. A school that mainly trains naval officers.

Zhou Shixiang felt good about this suggestion, because the focus in the south was not land warfare, but naval warfare. Therefore, he specially sent someone to Guangzhou to negotiate with Song Xianggong in detail. If there is no accident, the change of the military training workshop to the Naval Academy should be implemented before the end of the year.

The military training school in Nandu was established after the Taiping Army recaptured Nanjing. At first, it was mainly to train the middle and low-level officers of the Zhejiang Army, the Zheng Army and the newly surrendered Qing Army. Qing army senior general. At that time, these people were not comfortable using it, and they were not at ease, so they were all sent to this general officer class for a one-year study. After the completion assessment was correct, they were placed in one after another.

The courses of the Armament Academy are similar to those offered by the Armament Workshop. In nature, the Armament Academy and Armament Workshop are similar to a crash course for officers, and there is no systematic study arrangement.

At present, the main students of the Armed Forces Academy are soldiers who have passed the test recommended by the military and passed the registration test. These cadets have a certain cultural foundation (literacy of thousands of characters, can read infantry drills, military discipline and military orders).

In view of the regularization of the Taiping Army and the needs of future wars, Zhou Shixiang founded this Jiangnan Army University. Judging from the name alone, the Army University is much taller than the Military Armament Workshop and Armament Academy.

In fact, the name of the Army University was named by Zhou Shixiang. The purpose of his establishment of the Army University was to train middle and senior generals for the Taiping Army, so that generals at all levels could systematically learn new tactics and new knowledge.

In addition to the traditional courses such as horse training and marching, Army University also offers courses such as astronomy and geography, Gezhi science, surveying and mapping arithmetic, military command, staff operations, and intelligence analysis. In addition, there are also courses written by Zhou Shixiang himself. Rifle artillery coordination tactics are listed in the curriculum. In addition to some of the faculty members from the Military Armament Workshop and Armament Academy, one-third of the former military staff hired from the West joined the university, and they have recently recruited many instructors who are proficient in arithmetic and astronomy, among them Nan Huairen. There are nine Jiangnan missionaries headed by them.

In order to consolidate the foundation of the Army University, expand the teaching staff, introduce new talents, and strengthen and improve the education system of the university, Zhou Shixiang has sent a letter to the Catholic Church through Nan Huairen, hoping that the Catholic Church can send a large number of outstanding priests to the East, and let Guangdong The side continued to recruit those “adventurers” from Macau with a lot of money. Once you find that there are excellent people among these people, then no matter how much money you spend, you have to get people.

The West, of course, is a channel for Zhou Shixiang to introduce talents, and the talents of Daming’s own country are the focus of his recruitment.

Sun Lan, an instructor who taught astronomy and geography, was one of the leaders. This person studied Western astronomy, arithmetic and calendar in Beijing with Tang Ruowang in the early years of Shunzhi, and wrote two geography books that surprised Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Shixiang read both of these two books, and they were basically the same as what he knew about geography. After slight improvements, both books became textbooks for military schools.

Along with Sun Lan, Yan Zuyu from Wuxi, Liu Xianting from Wuxian County, Wang Dechang, Chen Jinmo, Xue Fengzuo, Huang Lvzhuang, Mei Wending and others from Jinan, Shandong were also invited by the MI Department. Some of these people are astro-geographers, some mathematicians, some medical scientists, and even a large number of craftsmen. They all have one thing in common, that is, they are not accepted by traditional officials and gentry, because what they study is the practical science of physical examination, not the imperial examination, which naturally became the “alternative” in the eyes of traditional officials and gentry.

But these “alternatives” have now become Zhou Shixiang’s “treasures”. Those who pass his examinations will be appointed as instructors, and their salary will be equal to that of a five-rank official. In addition to teaching cadets in the military school, they can also receive an additional sum of money for their own research. Zhou Shixiang encouraged them to carry out research on the creation of materials, and demanded that the Army University must support these instructors unconditionally, even if it costs a lot, they must support them.

Among these people, Wang Xichan from Wujiang, Jiangsu is the youngest, but only 33 years old. When the Qing army went south, the Hongguang regime was destroyed, and all parts of the south of the Yangtze River fought against the Qing. He committed suicide by throwing himself into the river to show his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. After being rescued, he went on a hunger strike for seven days. Although he was forced by his parents to eat again as a last resort, he gave up the imperial examinations and lived in seclusion in the countryside. At the beginning of the establishment of the Army University, Wang Xichan entered the attention of the military. He was one of the first faculty members to enter the Army University.

In addition to recruiting talents for the Army University, Zhou Shixiang also wrote the name of the school himself, and established the Army University and Guozijian as the highest institution of Ming Dynasty. Although this proposal was vetoed by the cabinet chief Guo Zhiqi and was not formally approved in the court, the Army University now far surpasses the Guozijian in terms of size and treatment of teaching staff.

From the site selection to the establishment of the school, Zhou Shixiang has always been concerned about it, and he has come to Daijiashan four times before. Just four days ago, Zhou Shixiang took the post of President of the Army University, and at the same time engraved his own word “Destroying Hu” as the founding philosophy and purpose of the Army University on the stone wall to the left of the gate.

Looking at those young faces and fiery eyes, Zhou Shixiang took a long breath and spoke to the students.

It can be said that Zhou Shixiang is now in power in the world. Every word he said and everything he did had an amazing impact on the country. But whether everything he did was right, whether everything he wanted to do was feasible, he didn’t know the answer. But he is very clear that whether it is right or wrong, he has to go on, only for the younger generation in front of him in the future to be able to take over his banner.

“…My Han family Erlang’s saber will always go north, the world belongs to the Han family Erlang, it belongs to us!… I hope each of you can remember that you are the guardians of the Han people, and also my China. The guardian of , your duty is only one from today, and that is to fight for our nation!”

As soon as the voice fell, a roar suddenly sounded on the school ground.

“Expel the Tartars and restore China!”

“For our nation, fight!”

“North, north, north!”

“Indestructible Tartars do not seal swords!”

“…”

After the ceremony, Zhou Shixiang came to the easternmost square. This phalanx and the other phalanxes are composed of young officers, who are 14 to 16 years old.

“Commander, these are all orphans of fallen soldiers. They all studied in the Junior Soldier Camp before, and now they have passed the exam and entered the Army University.”

Dong Changqing, who was temporarily serving as the instructor of the army, introduced the boys to Zhou Shixiang.

“This child’s name is Peng Zhuangshi, and his father gave him this name in the hope that he can be as strong as a cow.” Dong Changqing pulled a boy who was obviously much taller than the others to Zhou Shixiang’s side, and whispered again: “His father is Peng Dazhu.”

Zhou Shixiang was silent after hearing this. Peng Dazhu was an old brother of Daqiaoshan, and later died in the battle in Chaohui.

“Your father is a good person and a hero. You will be a hero like your father in the future.” Zhou Shixiang patted Peng Zhuangshi lightly, with encouragement in his soft eyes.

“Don’t worry, Commander, I will definitely become a hero!”

The young Peng Zhuangshi raised his chest high and looked a little excitedly at Uncle Xiucai, whom his father used to talk about during his lifetime.

“This child’s name is Wang Lin, and his father, Wang Honest, was Luo Ding who joined our Taiping Army. During the anti-three-way attack on Xiangshan, Wang Honest and a dozen of his brethren were killed in order to cover the villagers’ retreat. Lin is still in our old camp…”

“This child’s name is Luo Yi, and his father Luo Youfu is the Guangdong Green Camp that Chaozhou asked us to incorporate. During the Jiangbei War, the Qing army broke his stomach, and his intestines flowed out…”

“This kid’s name is Wu Tianyu, his father is from the former Ganzhou Green Camp, and he was shot to death by Tartar when they attacked Nanjing Mancheng…”

“……”

After listening to Dong Changqing tell about the heroic deeds of the fathers of more than a dozen children~www.readwn.com~ Zhou Shixiang waved his hands to signal these somewhat restrained teenagers to surround him, and then said to them: “Your fathers are all heroes, I am Taiping. The heroes of the army are also the heroes of my Ming Dynasty! I, Zhou Shixiang, are proud of them, and I am also proud of you!”

Having said this, Zhou Shixiang paused for a while, and then suddenly said: “But don’t worry, your father is not dead, because I am your father. If you want, you can call me handsome father! I will be with you. Like my father, I regard you as my closest flesh and blood!…With me, Zhou Shi, I will not let you go hungry, let you have no clothes to wear, and let you be bullied! I want you to read and read , let you take over the banner of your father’s generation, become a useful person in the Ming Dynasty, and become a hero in the sky! … Now, tell me, are you willing to be my children!”

“willing!”

Peng Zhuangshi knelt in front of Zhou Shixiang with a plop, and shouted loudly, “Father handsome!”

“Father handsome!”

More teenagers knelt down, they were willing to be the children of handsome fathers.
