Chapter 285: The Official's Rules
In the eyes of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the local garrison, being an official is a matter of the descendants of nobles, and it has nothing to do with themselves.
However, just a day ago, the Governor's Office sent a letter to the garrison barracks, which directly shattered this idea in their hearts. Not only that, but these documents, invisibly, aroused the desire and ambition that they had been buried in their hearts....
There is a saying that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier ....
Although more than ninety percent of the soldiers in the army are soldiers who are forced by life. However, after entering the barracks, in the face of the strict hierarchy in the army, there is no one who does not want to become a respected general.
It's just that they don't have a backstage, and they don't have a good family....no matter how hard they work, they can only be a big soldier who will always be bullied for the rest of their lives.
And now, the Governor's Mansion has actually given them a chance to become generals, which cannot but make them feel boiling.
Although there are still many people in the army who do not believe in the content of the paperwork, and do not believe that they can work hard without a backstage and become a general respected by everyone.
However, there are still many soldiers who are preparing in secret......
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the much-anticipated assessment finally began under the expectation of tens of thousands of soldiers......
As an aspiring soldier, as long as you sign up for the assessment, there is basically no problem with military skills.
However, the next cultural assessment is directly like an insurmountable copper wall, blocking the dream of most soldiers who want to be generals...
However, no matter how difficult it is, in the end, the battalion level of the guò assessment will be lowered. There are still as many as eight hundred.
Datong Governor's Palace. Looking at the roster sent by Zhang Wu. Wei Zheng didn't take a closer look, but asked thoughtfully, "General Zhang, among these more than 800 people, what is the ratio of officers at all levels to ordinary soldiers..."
Under Wei Zheng's gaze, Zhang Wu didn't think about it, and said a string of numbers in his mind.
"Marshal, among the more than 800 people, there are 145 first-class officers in the team... There are 329 officers of the first rank of platoon commander....There are 168 officers of the first rank of the first rank of the corpoline commander... As for ordinary soldiers. There are 198 people in total..."
Wei Zheng nodded, and asked with a puzzled expression...
"Why are there so few people at the level of Wu Chang and ordinary soldiers... As far as this commander knows, among the thousands of soldiers who signed up for the assessment this time, more than seventy percent of the soldiers are all personnel at the level of captains and ordinary soldiers..."
Zhang Wu replied with a look of embarrassment: "Handsome... The reason why most of the military commanders and ordinary soldiers have not passed the guò assessment is that the problem lies in the cultural assessment..."
"The marshal should know that in this troubled world, many people join the army just to eat their stomachs....when they can't even eat enough before becoming a soldier, how can they have the money to study....Therefore, more than ninety percent of the army commanders and ordinary soldiers in the army. Except for being able to write his own name, he doesn't know any other words. Not to mention the cultural assessment of the guò...."
"As for those officers at the rank of squad commander and platoon commander, it's not the same ... Many of them are descendants of military generals, and no matter what, they have been exposed to some tactics of war, literacy... Even if you are not a descendant of a military general, you have to learn to read some books because you need to read military order documents often..."
"Therefore, these team generals and platoon commanders, as long as they sign up, they basically pass the assessment...."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh....
In Wei Zheng's original idea, the first batch of students in martial arts were mainly ordinary soldiers and military commanders who did not have any background and involvement. Because, these people are the easiest to be grateful for, and they are controlled by themselves....
As long as anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the soul of an army depends on the supreme commander of the army. However, if you want to see how effective this army is, you have to look at the military attachés at the bottom of this army ....
Because, these low-level military attaches are the closest to ordinary soldiers and have a direct relationship with ordinary soldiers.
Once you can control these low-level military attachés in your hands, the local garrisons that have been expanded will be in your own hands, and no one will want to play tricks in front of you. Even without his own permission, he mobilized every soldier of the garrison...
However, now it seems that this idea of mine is still too far ahead of its time....
According to the current situation, it will take at least a year for the military attachés at all levels in the garrison to completely replace themselves with their own people and completely get rid of those nobles.......at least.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
"Now it seems that the expanded local garrison will also be the same as the Haw Par Army, and the military attache above the general level will be assigned civilian adjutant generals. While assisting the commander-in-chief in managing the logistics of the garrison, he also popularized the literacy level of the officers and men of the garrison...."
"Only in this way can those ordinary soldiers and captains have a chance to become generals..."
"Once the officers and men of the garrisons everywhere have this idea of wanting to be generals, the combat effectiveness of the garrison will become stronger and stronger in this competition-...
After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng didn't care whether Zhang Wu in front of him could understand or not, and continued to order.
"Okay, these are all things that will happen after the expansion of the garrison...."
"After going down, convey a general order from the commander to all the soldiers who have passed the examination...."
"First, Ben Shuai congratulates them on becoming the first batch of students of martial arts under the Shanxi Governor's Mansion..."
"Second, all the soldiers who pass the examination must arrive at the martial arts report within two days, and no one can be absent. Otherwise, Ben Shuai will decide that he will voluntarily give up the opportunity to enter the martial arts rotation training..."
"Thirdly, during the three-month period of martial arts rotation training for all soldiers, the martial arts will be fully closed, and anyone is forbidden to leave the martial arts for any reason....otherwise, it will be regarded as quitting..."
Because of the urgency of time, the martial arts school temporarily established by the Shanxi Governor's Mansion is not a real school, but a military camp of the Tiger and Leopard Army located outside Datong City....
With the arrival of the day of registration, Wei Zheng, as the head of the martial arts school, in order to show the difference in this martial arts, directly dispatched three hundred well-equipped ironclad guards from the guard battalion, holding muskets with bayonets that had been loaded, like benchmarks, standing motionless on both sides of the barracks gate.
At the beginning, in addition to these guards, there was also a team of personal guards, who were guarding the gate of the barracks, slimming down every soldier who went to the martial arts report, and detaining all the things that should not appear in the barracks...
Facing the well-equipped Haw Par Army at the entrance of the barracks, all the soldiers who came to report showed a heartfelt hot expression on their faces.
However, when they saw a warning sign at the entrance of the barracks, the heat was replaced by a hint of worry and trepidation.
"It is forbidden to bring anything other than clothing into the martial arts, and during the three-month rotation training, all food and clothing will be taken care of by the martial arts... During the three-month rotation training, no student is allowed to leave the martial arts ...... without authorization."
In the face of such strict rules, ordinary soldiers may not have any... After all, they are all ordinary people and have suffered everything....
Besides, since the Governor was able to purge all the garrisons in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the food of all the garrisons in the two provinces has been unconsciously more than twice as good as the original....
Such a good meal, in the eyes of those soldiers from ordinary people, is even better than the New Year.
Therefore, in the face of these rules, these soldiers did not show any discomfort....obediently handed over to the Haw Par Army and registered the limited silver taels and things on their bodies....
However, those noble descendants who have been used to enjoying it since childhood are not so easy to accept...
Although the food of the garrison has been improved, it is still difficult to swallow among those nobles and nobles.
Therefore, these noble descendants with thin family backgrounds, even in the military camp, often use their own silver to open a small stove....
And now, in order to enter the so-called martial arts rotation training for three months, he actually let himself enter the martial arts school without a single inch of money, and ate the military food that was difficult for him to swallow for three months.
In the eyes of these noble descendants, this is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
As a result, a dispute will inevitably appear at the gate of the barracks....
"Why don't you let us bring the silver in....the silver is our own, we can bring it in if we want to, you have no right to stop us..."
"yes... Even the martial arts in the capital don't have such strict rules, and the martial arts of a mountain and Shaanxi provinces are not even allowed to bring silver, why ......?"
Seeing more and more descendants of the nobles joining this quarrel at the gate of the barracks, when the situation was about to get out of control.
Wei Zheng, dressed in military uniform, appeared....
Not only that, but a crisp gunshot, along with Wei Zheng, sounded at the gate of the barracks.
Suddenly, the entrance of the barracks, which had just been noisy, immediately fell into silence. Not only that, hundreds of pairs of eyes, as if they had been discussed, gathered on Wei Zheng at the same time.
Before everyone could react, Wei Zheng had already spoken one step in advance: "It's all noisy here, what kind of system...don't forget, you are soldiers, not ordinary people......this is the gate of the barracks, not the vegetable market..."
"By the way, this official has not introduced himself to everyone....this official is the governor of Shanxi appointed by the imperial court... Here today, Ben Shuai only has one sentence, if you want to continue to enter the martial arts for rotation training, let me put down the so-called noble shelf, honestly abide by the rules, and enter the martial arts for a three-month closed rotation training...."
"If someone thinks they can't stand this rule....no matter what the rules of the court are, and no matter how thick your background is, this official will disqualify you from rotating training and expel you from the garrison...."
"You must know that this is the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and here, you must abide by the rules of your own officials........."
