With the arrival of the first snow since the beginning of winter in Chang'an City, the Royal Military Demand of the Tang Dynasty was finally officially established.

Li Shimin, the nominal dean, naturally attended the opening ceremony in person.

Although the time interval from planning to establishment of the Military Academy was very short, the number of students was not large at all.

Many nobles in Chang'an City knew the significance of this academy, so naturally they tried their best to stuff their sons and nephews into it.

Coupled with Li Kuan's suggestion to select young, literate soldiers from the Twelve Guards to study in the military academy, the number of students enrolled in the first class reached 500.

"Your Majesty, the students enrolled now can be regarded as normal college students. Later, when the college slowly gets on the right track, Wei Chen suggests that all the captains of Zhechong Prefecture from all over the country be rotated to the college for at least three months of study in order to improve at all levels.

The general’s loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.”

As the governor of the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong was the actual leader and manager.

These days, he went to the Chu Prince's Mansion many times to talk to Li Kuan about the construction of the college.

Others may think that Li Kuan is too young, and it may be meaningless to communicate with him on such things.

Qin Qiong would not think so.

Qin Huaidao was working in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Qin Qiong paid more attention to various matters in the Prince of Chu's Mansion than the average person. He also carefully studied Li Kuan's performance in the past few years, coupled with the prosperous operation of Guanshishan Academy,

The Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty was also established at the suggestion of Li Kuan.

And Li Kuan's own performance in Liangzhou and Tuyuhun was also impressive.

It can be said that Li Kuan is not as good as many people when it comes to traditional cavalry and infantry training, but when it comes to some innovative ideas, many people are not as good as Li Kuan.

However, no one has ever done this thing like a military academy before, and what is needed is innovative ideas.

"Not only the captains of Zhechong Prefecture, but also all officers who lead more than a hundred people when the academy becomes larger, will have to go to the military academy to receive training. For officers who fail the assessment, the court will have corresponding punishment measures, and

Those with outstanding performance will be promoted first.”

Li Shimin is now full of expectations for the Military Academy.

This is an unprecedented initiative, especially the division of labor among various subjects, which makes people see the power of formalization.

"What your Majesty said is that when Wei Chen talked with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of discipline and obedience. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory. In order to avoid some accidents, how to manage the soldiers in various places is really important.

It’s very important.”

"This is the truth. However, would it be too exaggerated to ask these students to undergo three months of basic formation training? After all, the most important thing in our military academy is to teach various military techniques and various combat knowledge."

When Li Shimin said this, he turned his head towards Li Kuan.

As soon as Li Shimin said this, a bunch of generals around him turned their attention to Li Kuan.

These people have more or less heard of the training methods for the guards of the Prince of Chu's Palace, and some have tried to imitate and learn from them, but no one has actually implemented them.

Nowadays, the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty has hired Xue Li, the chief guard of the Chu Palace, as the chief instructor for the first three months of training for new students. This has a very different meaning.

When this training plan was reported to Li Shimin, even he didn't understand it.

"Your Majesty, if they are all newly recruited farmers' children, it is possible to consider reducing the training time from three months to two months, or even one month. However, the students in the academy today are basically not from various schools.

The descendants of your distinguished ministers are the veterans of the Twelve Guards, and they have formed their own specific habits. The training of these new students must first make them truly obey the orders and prohibitions, and obey the instructions. The tasks they understand must be carried out, and the tasks they understand must be carried out.

What you understand must also be implemented.”

Li Kuan originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems that he can't.

"Your Highness King Chu, are you saying that the soldiers of the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty cannot meet the requirements of the Military Academy?"

Li Junxian said dissatisfiedly from the side.

This time, dozens of his subordinates were also selected to study in the military academy. What Li Kuan said now was that he was a little disgusted with these personnel.

This naturally made him unhappy.

In his opinion, as a team that protects the safety of the Daming Palace, the people he leads are the best among the best.

Are you being disliked now?

What does it mean?

"Yes!"

Li Kuan gave his answer directly without any politeness.

The scene was quiet for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have also experienced Xue Rengui's military training methods. When His Royal Highness the King of Chu led the guards as the vanguard of the army to conquer Tuyuhun, the military discipline was very strict, and it was comparable to that of Yuan Fei's general troops who strictly enforced the prohibitions. Now that this military academy is being founded, the first

Establishing good rules is a safe strategy."

As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing was naturally hired as the instructor of the Military Academy, and he was also present today.

He has always admired Xue Rengui, but today he also stood up to express his support.

"Actually, I, Lao Cheng, have to evaluate whether this arrangement is good or not. It's actually very simple. First, train according to Xue Rengui's method for three months, and then have a competition with the elites of the Twelve Guards. If these originally came from the Twelve Guards

If students win the competition after training, it means that the training is good. If they lose, then the training time must be reconsidered."

Cheng Yaojin put forward his own suggestions seemingly fairly.

In fact, he had long understood the training methods for the guards of the Prince of Chu's Palace, and was quite confident in it.

"Then follow the method Zhijie said and practice for three months first."

There would be no result if the fight continued, so Li Shimin made the decision directly.

…

On the school grounds where it had just snowed, although someone had cleared the snow, there were still some snowflakes remaining on the concrete floor.

Zhu Fufu held the pointer and walked back and forth excitedly.

"Tuck your belly in, lift your chest, and look straight ahead."

"You! I'm talking about you. Why are you twisting your neck? Didn't you say you can't move anything?"

"The second person on the right side of the second row will step out of the row and be punished with 100 push-ups."

Zhu Fufu never thought that one day he would become an instructor and teach students at the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

Although this class is different from ordinary "classes".

Xue Li was appointed as the chief instructor. Although he only taught the first batch of 500 students, he could not train him alone.

Naturally, he wanted to bring a group of people from the Chu Palace Guards over to help with training.

A team leader like Zhu Fufu is naturally the best choice.

Zhu Fuyu and the others are already very familiar with this training method developed by Li Kuan.

From the very beginning I couldn't stand in a military posture for a quarter of an hour, to now I can stand for an hour without any problem. The progress in between is absolutely huge.

Of course, a lot of sweat was shed and some costs were paid.

Especially for people like Zhu Fufu who are illiterate and cannot distinguish between left and right, this series of training is still very challenging.

"Commander, although these students may be unruly and unruly, their receptive ability is indeed relatively strong, much better than when I first trained the escort."

Xue Rengui looked at a team standing in a square shape in the school field, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Since the main tasks at this stage are to stand in military posture and walk in unison, except for Qin Qiong, the commander-in-chief, the other generals in the military academy basically stay at home.

After classes officially started, I would make time to come to class every day.

Of course, the Military Academy is different from Guanshishan Academy. In addition to theoretical courses, their classes are more practical.

In order to meet the training needs, the academy has dedicated a large area of ​​land, which is twice the size of Guanshishan Academy.

"After all, these students are carefully selected. If their receptive ability is still so poor, how can they be worth focusing on training?"

Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui kept walking back and forth in the school grounds to confirm the training status of the students.

Of course, it also has the purpose of helping instructors suppress students.

After all, these instructors are generally students from low-level backgrounds, many of whom are descendants of noble families, so they really don't necessarily take them seriously.

"Beep!"

Following the whistle[], the dormitory area of ​​the Datang Royal Military Academy immediately became a flurry of activity.

Although this was not the first time they encountered such a sudden attack, the response speed of these team members was still a bit unsatisfactory.

Of course, this has something to do with the lack of light and the fact that the clothes are not conducive to quick dressing.

"Congratulations to the last three students who arrived at the school grounds, tomorrow's breakfast is ruined!"

Zhu Fuyu's words were like the voice of the devil, scaring the last few students who arrived almost out of their wits.

If so, it doesn’t matter if you eat breakfast or not, the worst thing is to eat more at lunch.

But now that I have arrived at the military academy, the amount of training every day is so heavy that I don’t even have breakfast...

When the sun rises high in the sky, the feeling of hunger in the stomach can make people miserable.

If something went wrong in the morning training because he didn't eat in the morning, he would be punished without eating at noon again.

Then more...

"Those who live in the same dormitory as these five team members will have their last meal this morning."

There were some people in the team who were gloating about the three unlucky guys, but a bunch of people were immediately felled by the trick.

It doesn't seem to matter based on the order of eating, but considering that although the staple food is provided in unlimited quantities every day, the dishes on each table are rationed, it is different.

Eating late basically means eating dry rice and no vegetables!

Among the students, whether you are a descendant of a noble family or a farmer, after several days of intensive training in the academy, what you look forward to most now is the meal time every day.

If this only moment of happiness is gone, life will be miserable.

"Stand at attention! Everyone, run around the school grounds three times, then go back and continue to rest!"

Seeing that no one in the crowd dared to oppose his decision, Zhu Fuyu was very satisfied.
Chapter completed!
