Chapter 629 Instructor
As the evening approached, two kerosene lamps were lit in front of the military government office, and Chen Mu's work was not yet finished.

With the intensive training of the first phase of recruitment as the Guard Banner Army of the Eastern Army came to an end, the second phase of recruitment was also completed, and more than [-] people were also recruited to form a guard force.

The naturalization work of new recruits was quickly compiled in the Beiyang military government with sufficient manpower, and it was re-transcribed and compiled into a book for archiving. However, there are still many urgent matters to be resolved that have not been negotiated.

Several instructors from thousands of military training families sat around a long table, and Du Song's elder brother Du Tong was present. He entered the Xuanfu Lecture Hall as a garrison earlier, and studied hard for two years. After graduation, he worked as a small hundred household in Beiyang , Now he has been promoted to Deputy Qianhu for his achievements in military training, and will serve as the chief officer of military training in the next second phase of military training.

The other two military training families both have the surname Hei, one is Hei Xiao from the Xuan Mansion, who was taken away by the northern captives in the early years, and later joined the army as a servant of a general in the Xuan Mansion, made many military exploits, and entered the Xuan Mansion Lecture Hall.

The other is called Heiyunlong, not the Heiyunlong who was defeated and captured in Liangxiang during Emperor Chongzhen's time in another time and space. That Heiyunlong is the son of Heixiao above, and he has not yet been born.

This Hei Yunlong is the son of Hei Chun, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, Liaodong. His ancestors were from Jianzhou. His family was sent to the martial arts hall, and now he is also a deputy thousand households.

"Infantry, whether they are spearmen or musketeers, according to Chen Shuai's practice, it is enough to form an army in June, but artillery and cavalry are not."

Du Tong talked about the military training in a clear way, and he bowed his hands to Chen Mugong who was sitting opposite him, and said: "Although there are soldiers who bring art to the army, there are always some northerners who are good at riding and counting, but their riding skills are not as good as those of Beiyang. The riding skills they practice are different, and their ability to count is also different from the geometry that Chen Shuai wants the artillery to learn, these are unprecedented in the past."

"Even in the lecture hall, the cavalry department did not teach these horse riding skills. Even if the artillery science students have martial arts background, it is not easy for others to learn the arithmetic of artillery. In March, they can ride well. Horses, but they can’t reach the second grade in the examination; they can shoot a cannon, but it’s also difficult to hit the target.”

After finishing speaking, Du Tong clasped his fists across the long table again, and said, "Chen Shuai, can you give us some time to pass the recruitment examination?"

Chen Mu didn't speak. He listened and recorded in his notes. Over the years, he had developed the habit of writing down any problems he encountered. The method is not easy to forget.

Now this habit has been brought to all parts of the world, and it has infected many generals through the lecture hall. The lower-level officers often like this atmosphere very much. The government is much better off.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Beiyang General School is much better than other local hundred households in terms of power and status, which is also a key factor.

After the recording was finished, Chen Mu raised his head and nodded to Du Tong, then turned to the other thousands of military trainers and asked: "What else, continue."

Hei Xiao didn't speak. He used to be known as a brave general in northern Xinjiang because of his bravery, but he has a restrained personality.

Hei Yunlong is just the opposite of him, he carelessly likes to build relationships. When he first arrived in Beiyang, he went to Chen Mu’s house to give gifts, but the gifts were returned, but he passed a set of rules. His father, Hei Chun, was brothers with Li Chengliang and Yang Siwei , so he is of the uncle and nephew generation, and now Chen Mu, Li Chengliang, and Yang Siwei are brothers, so although he is three years older than Chen Mu, Chen Mu is an old uncle's generation theory, which confuses Chen Mu.

At first, Chen Mu thought that this was the peak of his relationship, but after inquiring, he found out that Hei Yunlong had already kept his hands on his seniority. In fact, he was born in the Southern General, and his closest brothers were all on the coast of Fujian and Guangxi. It's not good to build relationships, otherwise what people are really good at is dating.

There are more than 400 students in the first phase of the Xuanfu Lecture Hall. They have a relative from the general banner, and they can win relatives at the farthest nine turns.

This marriage kung fu is no less than Yuan Shu being everyone's father.

Usually Chen Mu doesn't like to see people who make connections like this, but Hei Yunlong's record before entering school and his grades after graduation are as good as his ability to marry. It is this passive skill of "enhancing team cohesion" that makes Chen Mu wonder whether it is good or not Bad.

"Cousin is right! Shuai Chen, my nephew has two options."

Hei Yunlong responded to Du Tong first, then turned to Chen Mu and said, "First, extend the drill time of cavalry and artillery to one year, so as to guarantee [-]% of the first grade and [-]% of the second grade while the training subjects remain unchanged. At the same time, engineering training subjects can be incorporated into infantry daily training, the simpler the better."

"The humble official has never gone abroad to fight, but he has gone out to make nests. However, in any expedition, it is impossible to replenish the luggage on the spot. The more complicated the army and arms, the more difficult it is to transport the luggage. This is the case without going to sea. If you march to America or even Europa, there are all types of troops. It is possible that if the supply is not enough, all of them will become infantry, and the infantry may also be separated from the soldiers and engineers, and be forced to serve as soldiers and engineers."

Chen Mu, who was at his desk taking notes, looked up at Hei Yunlong, nodded in surprise, and said, "What about the second one?"

"Second, after six months of drills, although the cavalry and artillery can't meet the standards, the basic military skills have been learned. The rest will be learned on the battlefield."

Just as the other trainee Qianhu was about to speak, Hei Yunlong stared wide-eyed and said: "We don't care about human lives, we have all led soldiers before entering school, the Beiyang Army has trained for six months, and it is much better than the Banner Army who has been in the guard for a lifetime. And there are generals who graduated from the lecture hall to lead, it is much better than the banner army who learns the tri-talent formation and fights with swords!"

To be honest, Hei Yunlong's words went into Chen Mu's heart, and he had a clear understanding of Chen Mu's thoughts.

The Beiyang yamen has the guards of the Beiyang and Dongyang Second Armies, which gave Chen Mu a lot of room to maneuver. This batch of recruits is neither the kind of battalion recruited by the Qi family, nor the reserve soldiers recruited by the Banner Army during the war. They are natural reserve soldiers. During training, let them get used to obeying the training of different generals. This is Chen Mu's small goal - the recruits after Beiyang Phase II will all be reserve soldiers from America.

As long as the generals and schools of the various ministries are still alive and have not been eliminated by the established system, these reserve soldiers can immediately replenish their combat power with a gun.

"Nine months. From now on, each training period will last for nine months. Each military trainer must ensure that [-]% of the recruits are first-class and [-]% of second-class. For each additional [-]% of second-class, the monthly salary of the recruits will increase by [-]%. If it is [-]% more than the first grade, the monthly salary of the military trainer will be increased by [-]%."

Chen Mu put down his pen, glanced at several military trainers and said, "If you are unqualified, you will get [-]% more, and the monthly salary will be reduced by [-]%."

"The general training period is one year, and in the last three months, I will learn naval warfare."
