Zhang's summary ability was good and he accurately stated what Li Longji meant. . . "That's right." Li Longji nodded appreciatively and said, "We can even recruit a group of boys and train them from an early age." "Your Majesty, this is too shocking." Di Renjie was a little surprised. "It's not that there was no such thing as "boy scouts" being trained from an early age in ancient times, it was just that there were so few that they couldn't help but be surprised. "Isn't this shocking?" Li Longji shook his head and said, "Aren't our large schools also trained from boys? Why can't we train generals and captains?" The academic style in the Tang Dynasty was very strong, and many people studied. Studying has a lot to do with the Tang Dynasty¡¯s Dajian Academy. A large part of the school's students are recruited from smart children. Li Longji's approach was just a slight change and he just opened a "Young Officer School". "This" Everyone was suddenly stopped by Li Longji's question and became speechless. Li Longji is right. Schools can recruit smart children to cultivate scholars and lay the foundation for national officials. Why can't they train generals and lieutenants from an early age? "This matter is settled!" Li Longji immediately decided. One of the reasons why Western countries have been able to rise in modern times is that they have strong military capabilities. There are many reasons why their military strength is strong. One of them is that they attach great importance to the training of soldiers. Many countries have "young officer schools" to train generals and officers from an early age. The famous Napoleon received systematic military education from an early age and eventually became one of the greatest military strategists in human history. If the Tang Dynasty could handle this matter well, it would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. "Follow the decree." Regarding Li Longji's decision. No one dares to veto it. Everyone obeyed. "Liu You begged. Wanqi on your side needs to recruit more people." Li Longji asked Liu You. "Your Majesty, isn't this not good?" Liu Youqiu disagreed with the proposal and said: "Wanqi was originally called Baiqi. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, there were only a hundred people, no more and no less. When he became the Queen, he became Qianqi. There are only a thousand people, neither more nor less. When the emperor was the emperor, it was already ten thousand horses. If it were expanded again, could it still be ten thousand horses? " Wanqi came from Emperor Taizong's hundred horses. , there are only one hundred people, neither more nor less, who are the bodyguards of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Because the selection is strict and the people selected are extraordinary, they become famous. Wu Zetian particularly admired Baiqi. It developed into Qianqi. The number remains at one thousand, never more than one. There won¡¯t be one less. After Ruizhong ascended the throne, according to Li Longji's proposal, it was expanded to Wanqi, which was already quite large. If it expands further, will it still be Wanqi? "Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang said that they very much agreed with Liu Youqiu's words. Everyone has a special feeling for Wanqi, because this is the most elite army in the Tang Empire, and it is also the fruit of Tang Taizong's hard work. If it "deteriorates", they really can't stand it. "Wanqi is the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty. Each one is carefully selected, but there is a shortcoming, do you know?" Li Longji asked. "Your Majesty, what are your shortcomings?" Everyone was puzzled by this question. "These selected soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich battle experience. However, how many of them have been instructed by masters?" Li Longji asked in return. The selection of Wanqi is very strict. Everyone is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles and has extremely rich battle experience. However, a large number of people have not systematically studied the art of war and lack theoretical knowledge. Having theoretical knowledge may not lead to greater achievements, but it would be better if you can accept better systematic learning and master better military knowledge. "" Li Longji stopped Liu Youqiu in his tracks. "With the expansion of Wanqi, after our Bing Dao Academy is completed, we can select a group of people from you to enter the academy to study and receive guidance from masters. Do you think they will be even more amazing?" Li Longji asked again . "That's for sure." Liu Youqiu answered without thinking. "If Wanqi's people can get guidance from masters, such as Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Shuo, they will definitely be even better. Because they have rich practical experience, wouldn't it be even better if they had theoretical guidance? "Also, those who have achieved success in the academy can also join you to work. Will Wanqi become more elite?" Li Longji asked again. "Seriously?" Liu Youqiu asked, his eyes bright and bright, staring at Li Longji nervously. At the Military Academy, great military strategists like Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Shuo will teach you. The students here will learn a lot. Who doesn¡¯t want to pick some? If Wan Qi can pick people, Wan Qi will definitely be even more awesome and more powerful.Sharp. "Of course." Li Longji nodded heavily and said: "When I came to Wanqi to recruit people, you were very distressed and always blamed me for taking away your heart. Now, I will give you a chance. , giving Wan Qi an even more amazing opportunity. " "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Youqiu jumped up, his eyes shining with excitement, and he thanked loudly. Who wouldn¡¯t want such a beautiful thing? "After the expansion of Wanqi, they will not only be used to garrison the capital and defend the imperial city, but also send some people to fight at the border to gain experience. In this way, Wanqi will always be in the baptism of war, and they will not be able to become elites unless they are elite. "Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said, "This is also Wan Qi's shortcoming." Soldiers must be baptized by the flames of war. An elite army is always in the flames of war, and the training of the army is extremely important. Wanqi had no chance before because they were not large enough to send some of them to participate in the war and could not accept the baptism of war. Although these people have rich battle experience, if they are not exposed to the baptism of war for a long time, their abilities will be weakened. If we expand Wanqi and send some people to join the battle, the problem will be solved. "Your Majesty is wise." Everyone was really convinced. "Your Majesty, when the number of people increases, Wanqi cannot be called Wanqi." Liu Youjiu reminded. "Well, let's call it Long Wujun." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and thought of a name that would be resounding throughout the ages. The Longwu Army was the most elite army during the Li Longji period and was mainly used to protect the safety of the palace. At the same time, some people went to the battlefield, accepted the baptism of war, and became many generals. The most famous one is Guo Ziyi. "What a name!" Everyone had no objection to the name and unanimously approved it. "As for the academy, it's called the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty." Li Longji's eyes sparkled as he said, "This will be the holy place in the hearts of men of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Longji was determined to build the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty into the highest military academy and become the highest military academy in the world. The cradle of generals. If this is true, it will definitely become a holy place in the hearts of men of the Tang Dynasty. "Haha." Everyone burst into laughter. As soon as this matter was decided, preparations began, and not long after, the Datang Royal Military Academy was established. On the first day of school, Li Longji led his ministers to come and wrote the name of the college in his own hand. Furthermore, Li Longji decreed that the emperor should attend the "graduation ceremony" every year and award the top three with swords. This edict made the students excited. The students were all in high spirits, extremely excited, and encouraged each other. They must study hard and strive to obtain the sword. As an emperor, you have to attend the graduation ceremony in person, and the motivating effect on the students can be imagined. Think about it, for the famous military academies in the world today, the heads of state must participate in the annual graduation ceremony, which is a great incentive for the students. For example, at Xidian Military Academy in the United States, the president not only has to participate and deliver a speech, but also awards awards to outstanding students. These successful students will be proud of them decades later, which shows how powerful their motivational effect is. Wan Qi's expansion into Long's martial arts army and the establishment of the Royal Military Academy, these two explosive news spread, caused a huge commotion, that is, the men of the Tang Dynasty enthusiastically joined the army. "Did you know? Wanqi has expanded. Now it is called Longwu Army, and it will recruit tens of thousands of people. I also have a chance, and I want to join the army." "That's right. Wanqi used to be too strict in selecting , We have no chance. Now that we have expanded, our chance will come. If we can become Wanqi, it will be worth dying." "You think so! Wanqi has become Longwu Army. The selection has not been relaxed at all, but has become stricter. With the skills and intelligence of the good men of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no shortage of people selected for Wanqi. In the past, it was just because the number of people was limited, so we had to choose the tallest." "Yes, that's right. Today's selection of the Longwu Army is more stringent. It not only requires rich battle experience, but also a flexible mind. It is said that as long as you enter the Longwu Army, you will have the opportunity to enter the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty. Studying, with the guidance of great generals like Wang Dashuai and Zhang Shangshu, you will have a bright future." "Military Academy? What is that?" "You don't even know how to be a man in the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty? , is a military academy founded by His Majesty, specializing in teaching the art of war and training generals. Once you enter the Royal Military Academy, you will have a bright future. " "Also, the Royal Military Academy not only recruits adults, but also children. As long as you are smart enough and have good health, you will have a chance. If you think about it, how much more amazing would it be if you were raised from a young age?Finished. Anyone who enters the Royal Military Academy will have their food and accommodation paid for by the court, so they don't have to worry about paying for their studies. " "At the Royal Military Academy, not only do you not have to worry about food and accommodation, but you also get a salary. Even a boy will receive a generous salary. It's so rich that one month is equivalent to my family's annual income. " "Is it really such a beautiful thing? My child is very smart. I have always wanted to send him to a school to study, but I just can¡¯t afford the money. Now that it's fine, I'm going to take my baby to try it. If it succeeds, it will be a great thing to honor our ancestors. ¡± Discussions like this have spread in the streets, and many people are extremely happy. The reason why the Royal Military Academy is free is not only to attract talents, but also to reduce the burden on families. There are many talented people, but It is a tragedy that he was unable to become a talented person because of family conditions. Of course, Li Longji will not let this tragedy happen (To be continued)
