ps: Thanks to book friend "Longqi Legend" for his reward.

Wu Zheng didn't know that this appointment accidentally triggered a major change.

Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, Zhang Huangyan and others dug a "pit" for Wu Zheng.

Because of the establishment of academic administration, the impact is huge.

Invisibly, these people "conspired" to correct Wu Zheng's disgust towards the imperial examination as always.

The biggest obstacle was cleared for the General's Office to re-promote the imperial examinations and enter the officialdom.

The reason why Wu Zheng hated the imperial examination was indeed influenced by later criticisms of the imperial examination system. He deeply believed that most of the selected imperial examination system were poets, lyricists, and their writing was brilliant, but they had no effect on the Northern Expedition.

The generals under the command of the General's Mansion knew Wu Zheng's temperament and advised him several times indirectly. After finding it useless, they no longer felt disappointed. Anyway, according to Wu Zheng's current intention, selecting civil servants from Jiangnan Academy, military academy military generals, and business academy economic talents can also meet the operation of each yamen.

Everyone says that if you have something to do, you will have a lot of things to do.

This has led to the fact that scholars and students who were selected by the previous dynasties in various prefectures and counties, especially those older and hard to change, were knocked out of dust.

Jiangnan is rich, and the proportion of scholars is very high, so there are many such people.

During each imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations in Jiangnan provinces often account for more than 80% of the total.

If the Ming Dynasty revived, then these scholars who had already won the upper hand would often be promoted to the officialdom.

But now, these people have become waste in the eyes of people, which is also the main cause of opposing the Wu Zheng people in the Eleven Palaces.

In the power to fight, they all defected to the royal family, or left to Yunnan and Guizhou to join Yongli, and even fought against the name of traitors.

Qian Sule is in the south of the Yangtze River, especially south of the Qiantang River, and his reputation is very high.

He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen and was later appointed as the governor of Taicang. During his tenure, he ranked first in Jiangnan and was promoted to the Ministry of Justice.

As a person who is born in a Jinshi and has a good reputation, once he enters the position of academic affairs, you can imagine what he will do next.

Wu Zheng actually didn't realize what Qian Sule would do when he took office as the school manager. At this time, he was just to arrange a decent enough official position for his father-in-law.

....

Wu Zheng no longer needs to be distracted when training the military. After experiencing this fierce battle, tactics and command literacy in the battlefields of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Wu Zheng no longer needs to say anything about it.

The generals of each department spontaneously began to review the right and wrong, gains and losses of the battle, and summarized the advantages and disadvantages of various firearms on the battlefield, sent clauses to the military workshop, urging military equipment to improve them.

What made Wu Zheng even more gratified was that after reviewing the battle, the chief guards learned from their strengths and weaknesses, forming a fairly feasible tactic supplement for firearms and weapons, and effectively improved and supplemented the previous tactics.

When Wu Zheng received the detailed rules presented, he not only praised the wisdom and courage of the ancients.

For example, in the details, several completely different tactics are used to deal with different enemies.

The new army formed at this time was organized in the 55th system, with five battalions in a regiment, five battalions in one regiment, five companies in one battalion, five platoons in one company, five platoons in one squad, and thirteen squads in one squad (one squad leader, one squad deputy, eleven soldiers, one of them was mine soldiers). This was because there were no guns fired at this time, and the firepower was insufficient, so the number of people could only be used to make up.

After reviewing the generals, they modified the previous gun queuing and three-stage strike tactics.

The current search platoon (also called the vanguard platoon) suddenly encounters the enemy. When a battle breaks out, if the enemy's troops are almost the same or smaller than that of oneself, two squads will immediately attack the enemy. The other two squads will disperse left and right, divide and encircle the enemy from the flanks, and the remaining last squad will occupy favorable terrain to provide firepower support to the two squads that charge.

In other words, at the first time, the most violent attack on the enemy is used to disrupt the enemy's formation and defeat the enemy's will, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, which will trigger panic among the enemy's main force and continue to expand the local advantage.

This was summarized by Chi Erhan and the Lu domain based on the Battle of Tongzhou. It was very effective, especially in dealing with the Qing army that was not a cavalry. It was almost accurate to fight one by one, and a company could defeat the Qing army that was several times more than it was.

The key to this tactic is that the soldiers' fighting will requires a strong fighting spirit. When they see the enemy, their eyes shine, which is what they usually say, and they "scream" when they are released.

If you encounter an enemy whose troops are twice as powerful as you, two squads will use fierce fire to block the enemy on the spot based on the favorable terrain to cover the other three squads to retreat to the rear, build a temporary cover position not far from the rear to cover the retreat of the two squads that block the enemy, and complete reorganization behind the position.

Then, the built positions continue to block the enemy to delay the enemy's advancement speed and win time for the main force behind to complete the construction of a solid position.

This tactic was summarized by Jiang Quanyi based on the Battle of Taizhou.

These are just two tactical plans in field battles, including Chen Sheng's summary of musket defending the city, Fang Guoan's summary of artillery siege and artillery field battles, etc.

When Wu Zheng saw this, he had to admit in his heart that he was an outsider compared to these professionals.

There are too many things you have to worry about. Since that is the case, leave professional things to professionals.

So, after several deductions with the generals, a little modification and improvement, Wu Zheng compiled them into a book and named it the "Primary Edition of the Infantry Classic of the Northern Expedition Army". Then, in the name of the general, he issued a training order to the guards of the Northern Expedition Army. Each guard conducted three months of tactical command training for officers above the platoon. Three months later, the soldiers were trained in the platoon as units.

....

Wu Zheng's energy was mainly focused on the military workshops that stretched for dozens of miles in Songjiang Prefecture and the two major ports and terminals in Hangzhou and Wusong.

Almost at the cost of his reputation, he was almost completely opposed to his own wishes. Wu Zheng had agreed to sign a ceasefire agreement between the court and the Qing court, in order to accumulate strength, strengthen the army, and expand the army.

But now, because of the sudden launch of a purge of the royal family, officialdom and shopping malls, Wu Zheng had to devote his main energy to internal affairs.

It sounds ridiculous, but it must be.

This principle is very simple. Cleaning is just an attitude, and its function is to forcefully curb, not to clean up.

It is like treating a disease, controlling the condition does not make it worse, spreading, treating the exterior rather than treating the root cause.

If cleaning is really useful, then any dynasty only needs to massacre.

Cleaning works on the surface, and suppression only works in a short period of time, and often has more powerful sequelae.
