For example, rewards, punishments and promotions. Wu Zheng proposed that officers above the battalion must go through more than one year of training and study from the military academy and be appointed by the military headquarters.

The appointment power of officers below the battalion is delegated to the regiment headquarters and is selected by those who have made many military achievements in the battle.

In other words, if a soldier is promoted to a company level with his military merits, he must go to the military academy to study before he can advance.

Otherwise, the succession will end.

This proposal was opposed by everyone except Fang Guoan. Their reason was that in the current army, people who had read books, no, it should be said that there were very few people who knew a few words. If this regulation was really implemented, I am afraid that candidates at the battalion level or above would not be found.

This reason is indeed very realistic, but Wu Zheng stubbornly insisted.

If there is no one, then train yourself. One year is enough to make an illiterate person understand hundreds of commonly used words. This is enough for simple combat, and this year is enough to provide a series of ideological and command education for students.

Seeing that Wu Zheng had decided, no one objected.

This more than 200-page trial version of the Infantry Practice was thus the guiding outline for the training of the new Musket Army. After Wu Zheng's first phase of training goals were completed, the training system needed to be improved and improved according to the actual situation on the battlefield.

....

Wu Zheng is leaving.

After the news came out, that night, forty-eight soldiers trained by Wu Zheng spontaneously prepared a table of wine and food to give Wu Zheng a farewell.

Wu Zheng was a little moved and took Chi Erhan and others to the banquet.

When the wine reached the thick place, Shi Kun stood up with red eyes and said, "The instructor is a general. We are willing to follow the general and die on the battlefield. Please do not leave us behind."

Wu Zheng heard this and pursed his lips, then smiled and said, "You are all company commanders and battalion commanders. Although it has not been officially announced, the military order of the General's Mansion will come soon... I still cry like this? The instructor has brought more soldiers and they are all with him. The man has to line up to Yingtian Mansion."

Lu Jincai said in a muffled voice: "I am a rough man. I admire someone who is more capable than me when I am young. General Fang can't beat me, so I don't accept him..."

Wu Zheng yelled: "If you have bare hands, this instructor may not be able to beat you."

"But I admire the instructor." Lu Jincai looked at Wu Zheng blankly and said, "The instructor can lead us to win battles."

Wu Zheng said in surprise: "The battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can guarantee that he will win."

Lu Jincai said firmly: "But I know that the instructor will definitely lead us to win the battle!"

Wu Zheng was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Because we are brothers and sisters."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised. These big and thick boys actually became a philosopher?

At this time, Wu Zheng was proud in his heart because he was their instructor.

The Beiyang warlords ruled China for decades with 3,000 students from Baoding Military Academy, and this group of their own military academy was 30,000 students. Wu Zheng absolutely believed that there were the second group and the third group...

"Sit down and finish the drink well." Wu Zheng waved his hand gently, "Actually, I forgot to teach you something... Fortunately, I don't have time, so I will teach you now."

Everyone sat upright and looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng said: "The last lesson I want to teach you is that a good soldier, a qualified soldier, does not choose the chief general. Because you are the chief general, even if you do not have the command of the general, you can already stand alone... Remember, you are the best."

A fire ignited in everyone's eyes.

Wu Zheng said: "I never thought of abandoning you and leaving you. You have been my soldiers since the first day. In the past, now, and always will. When you become generals of the Northern Expedition Army one by one, you will definitely find that in fact, you have never left me, just like me, and never left you... I am proud of you!"

"salute!"

....

Chi Erhan and Song An were left behind.

They and the Qi brothers were left behind.

Originally, this group of new recruits would join the four guards and form Ningbo and Jingjiang guards after training.

But now, Wu Zheng has changed his mind.

He planned to directly form this group of new soldiers into three guards, and then adjust the defense of the original four guards, and take advantage of this rare ceasefire time to completely adapt all the troops.

This is a big project, big enough to affect the balance of power in this world.

But Wu Zheng also knew that the road was rugged because his reorganization just crossed the river by feeling the stones and was not baptized by fighting. No one knew whether this approach was correct.

Chi Erhan and Song An were left behind because training required them. Wu Zheng should have stayed. From Wu Zheng's heart, nothing is more important than training a soldier.

But Wu Zheng could not continue to stay because his family business was too big and he would be in control of many things. In addition to the army, there were many people, and many things needed to be decided by him.

Looking at Chi Erhan, Song An, Wu Zheng comforted him: "This is only temporary. I will come back at any time after I go back and issue the military reform order."

Song An said: "Actually those people are enough to train a elite soldier for the young master."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "No matter how well he trained, he has never been to the battlefield, he cannot be said to be an elite soldier. Do you know why I placed Fang Guoan in this important position? Because his training experience and practical experience are far superior to you... Remember, I let you stay, not only let you practice troops, but also what you need to practice yourself."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "The further I go, the more I need your support. Even for your own future, I have to train well... Don't let the young master down."

Chi Erhan said in a muffled voice: "Then there must be some time, right? Can Xiao Anzi and I go back to Hangzhou to see the young master and the master?"

Wu Zheng thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "In this way, after the spring next year, I will send troops to Jiangxi. As long as you train well, I will bring you with you at that time."

"really?"

"certainly."

....

Wu Zheng did not go back to Hangzhou directly, but went to the military workshop.

Yifang has already taken shape, but Qi Daokun still uses Fang A to test the three firearms that Wu Zheng asked for.

The third trial production of the grenade has been completed.

At this time, what Wu Zheng saw was almost the same as the later generations. Except for the warhead that was nearly twice as large as the size, the other shapes were basically the same.

But ignition is still a problem. There is a 20% chance of being silent, so you can only install an extra fuse as an emergency.

Wu Zheng knew that this was too urgent and could only wait until there were newer materials and processes to solve it. This was not something that could be done in a short time.
Chapter completed!
