Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 477, Loyalty and Honor
"One two one, one two one~"

On the huge playground, the recruits shouted slogans and ran around the huge playground in the morning.

Huo Yun only felt that his body was as heavy as a mountain, and every step he took was like walking in an extremely muddy swamp.

The morning run has been going on for almost half an hour, everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting, the instructor is still saying some words that make people want to beat him up.

It's just that at this time, everyone has no intention to pay attention to the instructor's words, just shouting slogans, and following the majority to persist and persist.

"Clang~clang~"

Finally, as if spring had arrived, the bell for the end of the morning run rang on the playground, and everyone couldn't help cheering.

However, discipline is an extremely important thing. In the past half a month, these new troops have only learned one thing, and that is obedience!
As long as the instructor didn't say to disband, no one would dare to disband, otherwise some people would suffer.

Soon, the teams of each class slowly finished their morning run, and the instructor didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the disbandment, and there were countless cheers immediately.

Only at this moment can they cheer, a new day, the morning run is done.

However, this is just the beginning.

After breakfast, the morning training started again, very boring and boring standing in line.

Under the instructions of the instructor, everyone learned to stand at attention, take a rest, turn left and right, and stand in a military posture. They didn't teach them martial arts, skills to kill enemies in battle, just a team repeating this boring teaching.

"Stand at attention~ rest~"

"Turn left~"

"Turn right~"

"Backward~"

With the instructor's order, Huo Yun's second class kept repeating simple teams one after another.

Huo Yun couldn't understand, what's the use of doing such things all the time, could it be possible to go into battle and kill the enemy by relying on this?
Or is it possible to turn them into an iron army after learning this?
They couldn't figure it out, but they kept repeating this non-boringly, and at the same time, every once in a while, the instructor kept them in one motion.

Of course, Huo Yun didn't know that this set was the most basic thing in the armies of all countries in the world in later generations, and its purpose was to cultivate soldiers' obedience and willpower.

Generally, new recruits need at least one month of basic training to join the army, and these basic things will always be repeated in the subsequent training.

Constantly training the obedience and willpower of these soldiers is the most important thing for a strong army.

After the boring training in the morning, Huo Yun and his recruits had two hours to eat, rest, and take a nap. This time is also the time Huo Yun looks forward to most every day.

Because only at this time, can he have the time at his own disposal, lie down comfortably, take a nap, and forget the tiredness in the morning.

In the afternoon, the training was still extremely boring, but the study of going forward was added. On the huge playground, the teams of each class kept walking back and forth.

This is also an extremely boring process.

Huo Yun also didn't understand why he had to walk around like this, but this did not prevent him from obeying the instructor's instructions. In half a month, at the beginning, his movements were sparse, but now he has slowly been able to keep pace. , act as one.

After dinner, it was time for Huo Yun's favorite and also the most tiring part - attending evening classes and being able to read and write.

Of the recruits recruited this time, the children from Xungui's families are naturally able to read and write, but Huo Yun and his children from farming families, few of them can read and write, and they are all illiterate.

In Li Yunlong's words, it means that he doesn't know a whole bunch of characters, and he doesn't know a single word when the shoulder pole arrives.

The new army that Liu Jin wants to build will use Liangjia Zidi. At the same time, everyone must be able to read and write, be able to count, and at the same time learn some knowledge of astronomy and geography.

Naturally, it is impossible to not know how to read and write, so night classes are also necessary.

In addition, the most important thing is to brainwash these recruits by taking night classes, instilling in them the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

This is the most important thing.

For the military of later generations, regardless of the country's military, political lessons are the most important courses. Whether an army is strong or not is another matter. The most important thing is to always remain loyal.

In this feudal dynasty, it is natural to remain loyal to the king and to the country.

One of the important reasons why Emperor Hongzhi strongly supported the reform of the new army was that Liu Jin's plan included a link of loyalty to the emperor and patriotic education, instilling the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

What is the emperor most afraid of?
Of course, the most fearful thing is that someone will usurp power and seize the throne. Since ancient times, many usurpers have been inseparable from the army. Every change in history has been inseparable from this.

So from the beginning of the Song Dynasty, after learning the lessons in this regard, it began to gradually emphasize civility over military affairs, suppressing the status of generals, and now it is directly using civility to rule military affairs, and civilian officials to lead the army and command the army.

For generals, the emperors of all dynasties are very guarded.

Brainwashing is absolutely indispensable in the construction of the new army. It is necessary to instill the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and let Emperor Hongzhi know that the army is more reliable than these literati and is absolutely loyal to the emperor.

In each classroom, whale oil lamps were lit, and under the effect of glass lamps and mirrors, each classroom was as bright as day.

One by one, the recruits sat on the desks, holding textbooks and pencils in their hands, listening to the class carefully.

The same is true for Huo Yun. When he was a child, his family was poor, and his parents could not afford to support him in private schools. He went to private schools many times secretly, and secretly listened to the teacher's lectures outside the classroom.

In his heart, he is actually very eager to learn knowledge, to be able to read and write, to be able to understand books, and to be able to write.

But family conditions did not allow him to attend classes secretly when he was a child, but as he got older, his parents began to arrange him to do various farm work, and gradually, this desire in his heart was extinguished.

Who knew that after joining the army, in the military academy, there was a gentleman who taught them how to read and write for free, and he was able to be in a bright classroom, holding a textbook and listening to the teacher's lecture.

Huo Yun cherishes it very much. He did it fiercely when he was a child, but he didn't expect to realize it when he grew up.

It's just that as he gets older, he finds it very difficult to study. He only learns ten words every night, but Huo Yun always forgets. What he learned yesterday is forgotten today, and what he learned today will be returned to the teacher tomorrow.

This made him very distressed, and he always felt that he was useless.

Ten words a day, and after the words are taught, simple mathematics is taught. Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are all very simple contents.

In terms of mathematics, Huo Yun's talent is very good, he learns it very easily, Arabic numerals are very simple, and it is very convenient to calculate.

"Okay, today's math class will end here~"

"Now, everyone, take out your history textbooks. What we are going to talk about today is the great and glorious history of Taizu expelling the Yuan captives and restoring the Yizuo of the Han family~"

The brainwashing class has begun.

The books for teaching were specially compiled by Liu Jin, mainly telling the history of the Ming Dynasty, with the emphasis on portraying the majestic and upright aspects of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, mainly told the story of Zhu Yuanzhang expelling the Hulu and restoring the country. As for Zhu Di, it was all about his seven expeditions to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and drinking horses to the north. As for how he came to be the emperor, that’s for sure. It cannot be said.

When it came to Emperor Hongzhi, it mainly talked about how the current Emperor Hongzhi is benevolent, how he loves the people like a son, is diligent and thrifty, and so on.

In short, in the textbooks here, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were gods and men, and they were all perfect incarnations. It was their honor to be able to serve the emperor, and it was a blessing they had cultivated in several lifetimes.

At the same time, the Confucianism, the monarch and the ministers, the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die is also plagiarized. Liu Jin even moved the later Japanese method to establish the loyalty and honor of the soldiers here in the military academy.

Loyalty and honor, this is the motto of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

What Liu Jin wanted was to imprint these two things deeply into everyone's soul, to establish absolute loyalty to the Ming Emperor in their minds, and to regard the honor of the generals as their own lives.

Of course, Liu Jin also secretly carried some private goods in it. In addition to emphasizing loyalty to the emperor, he also popularized patriotic ideas.

Love the country, love the land of China, and love the civilization of the Han family.

The civilization of the Han family is eternal, while the dynasties are constantly changing. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are equally important things, and they are also things that Liu Jin carried in it.

These people who came out of the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty could not just be the emperor's domestic slaves, but should be the patron saints of this land and the guardians of the Han civilization.

To be loyal is not to be loyal to a certain surname, but to be loyal to this country, this nation, and this great civilization.
