Time passed quickly, and the one-month training course for officers was coming to an end, and the prospective officers reviewed the flintlock pistol and line tactics, understood the essentials of infantry and artillery coordinated operations, mastered the methods of training soldiers and the passwords for commanding operations, and initially possessed the military qualities that a professional military officer in a modern army should have. 【】

Lin Weiye wrote in his memoirs a few years later: "The officer training course that was drummed up in those years is now examined with a professional eye, which is somewhat naΓ―ve and ridiculous, and in the eyes of experts, it is more like a playhouse. However, it was precisely with this training class as a starting point that the Qiongzhou Battalion took the first step toward regularizing the army and professionalizing its officers, and on this basis, it continued to develop and improve the training mechanism to build the Qiongzhou Battalion's own "West Point Military Academy," and since then, 90 percent of the officers of the army and navy have come from here. ”

At the end of the training, they face an assessment. If it is a test of the ability to fight, these quasi-officers who have received several baptisms of fierce battles are not worried, and what makes them difficult is arithmetic and literacy, especially the latter.

In the formal assessment, half of the people failed the assessment, most of them because the number of words in literacy did not meet the requirements.

"If these people can hold a gun, can't they hold a pen? Is it so hard to recognize a few words? Upon learning of the result, Xia Nan lost his temper.

Lin Weiye persuaded: "Let's take our time, these people were farmers who dried salt and cultivated the land not long ago, and they couldn't even write their own names, so it was too difficult for them to succeed in literacy in a month." ”

Qian Youyu, who is responsible for teaching literacy, was anxious, afraid that the board would hit him, and also said: "From illiterate to coarse writing, the deadline is also a little shorter......

Sun Yuanhua asked puzzledly: "Why do you have to ask them to read and write, there are few literate people in the Ming army, so they don't fight as soldiers?" ”

Xia Nan explained: "Mr. Sun, not to mention that you need to be literate to convey military orders, and you need to be able to count when you use artillery, is a reckless man who can't read a single word a qualified soldier?" Nengwen Nengwu is a true hero. There are not many people I admire among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Sun, you are one, as a civilian official, training troops to cast artillery, and organize and train the new army, if it were not for Li Jiucheng to make trouble, the Denglai New Army will definitely be able to make contributions in Liaodong. In addition, Lu Xiangsheng Lu is also admirable, although he is a scribe, but Wen can govern the place, Wu can raise a knife to kill the enemy, and now he has trained an elite soldier in Hebei, Chongzhen has raised troops in the second year of the king, so that the Tartars retreated. I don't dare to hope for talents who can read poetry and books and can cross the battlefield, but soldiers who can go into battle to kill the enemy and can read and write and understand things can still be cultivated. ”

Sun Yuanhua was embarrassed, Dengzhou had fallen into the hands of the rebellious army, and what kind of face did he have to compare with Lu Xiangsheng, and waved his hand again and again: "Lu Jiandou (Lu Xiangsheng character Jiandou, No. 9) Yunwen Yunwu, can also make a 136-pound big knife and kill the enemy with his own hands, I can never compare." ”

However, he agrees with Xia Nan's words, he can read and break words, he always understands things better than the illiterate vulgar martial arts, and he has not seen the so-called generals who can fight in the Ming Dynasty.

He pondered and said, "Since literacy is so beneficial, it must be learned. However, the time is too short to be difficult for these people. Otherwise, take literacy and arithmetic as compulsory content, assess once a quarter, streamline the content of each assessment, and pass three times without having to take another test, and if you don't pass the official demote by half a level, this not only has a buffer, but also can urge the soldiers to be studious. ”

It is also a good way to promote learning for a long time, so that officers do not only care about rushing to cope with training and assessment, and even if they are lucky, they will forget about everything. It is stipulated that passing about three assessments can prevent someone from running into a dead mouse in a single assessment.

Xia Nan nodded again and again: "What Mr. Sun said is right. However, it is possible to add an article to include ordinary soldiers, and set different score lines to distinguish officers from soldiers. After passing the examination, the officer can be appointed or promoted as long as he has made meritorious service, and after the soldier passes, he can be promoted to a non-commissioned officer in advance. ”

Lin Weiye agreed: "This will not only guide officers and men to study culture with their hearts, but also open up channels for officers and men to move upward, and establish a benign mechanism for selection and promotion." ”

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Xia Nan made a decision: "Since this is the case, the results of this cultural assessment are only for reference, based on the assessment of military subjects, and the regular assessment will be carried out every quarter in the future." ”

After the assessment, Su Thick Legs was nervous, and the results of the assessment were not ideal for literacy, and he knew himself in those words, but he didn't know many words. It looks like the sentinel flew in hand. Sitting in the barracks and feeling sorry for himself, someone rushed in and shouted: "Good news, I heard that several adults pleaded for mercy, and the general opened the net, and the literacy results of this time are not counted, and ninety percent of the people who participated in the training can pass the test!" ”

Su Thick Legs jumped up and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

The man replied: "I can't lie to you, the list is posted at the entrance of the barracks." ”

The demoralized group of people in the barracks jumped up and ran out of the barracks in a swarm, with Su running in the front.

When I got to the place where the list was posted, there were already a lot of people crowding there, and they were surrounded by water. Many people are struggling to read the content of the list with the words they just learned.

"Qiongzhou Battalion No. ...... The first officer training course ...... Assessment results ......"

The person who successfully pronounced the title was proud, "Lao Tzu can also read and write, Lao Tzu didn't even know his own name last month!" ”

The people on the side sneered: "I am so proud to pronounce these words, and I have the ability to pronounce all the words below." ”

The man puffed out his eyes and read slowly.

"The commander of the first battalion, Huang Han...... Bear...... A battalion, a company, a platoon commander, Su ...... Sue thick leg ......"

Su Thick Legs jumped three feet high on the spot, and said loudly: "Haha, I passed, I became a sentry." ”

An acquaintance pulled him and corrected: "Thick legs, it's the platoon commander, we don't have a new name for the official army!" ”

"Yes, yes, platoon commander, platoon commander, haha!"

Zuo Wuwei and Li Mo were also caught in the crowd, the two of them were coarse before joining the army, and they were one of the few people in the training class who had passed the cultural and military assessments, and it was effortless to read this list.

"Li Mo, look, you are the artillery company commander of the second battalion, and I am the artillery company commander of the first battalion, we are now at the same level, and we will not be subordinate one by one in the future."

"Hehe, you have the final say. There is a firearms team for every 1,000 people, and our new staff general attaches great importance to firearms! ”
