Kaifeng, private part, Duan Shao looked at his son who was eating and was eating and feeling strange: "Why, can't you eat enough at school?"

When his son Liang Xiang heard this, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and then answered: "The food in the school cafeteria is too greasy and not as delicious as at home."

"Young people need to grow up, so they must not be greasy." Duan Shao signaled his son to continue eating, just listen.

"Many students rarely eat greasy food on weekdays because of their family background. The school food is just made greasy."

Liang Xiang nodded from time to time while eating.

He has already entered the military academy for further studies and is now coming home on holiday. Because the food at home is very suitable for his appetite, his eating habits are a bit ugly.

Duan Shao was relieved to see that his son was in good condition, but he still didn't plan to tell the secret.

Since he was captured, he has been using the pseudonym Liang Xiaoyan to work hard for Li Li, and has a concubine, children, and a small family.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and his son (the concubine's son) in the south has gradually grown up, but Duan Shao has never revealed his identity to his family, so his son always thought he was a descendant of the Liang family.

Duan Shao's concubine and concubine's children were only known to be a surrendered soldier in Qi State and his family was in Jinyang, but his family who stayed in Jinyang had no contact for more than ten years.

But Duan Shao is very clear about the current situation of his family.

His younger brother Duan Xiaoyan, Duan Xiaoshen, and his eldest son Duan Yi and second son Duan Shen worked in other places when the Chu army attacked Ye, escaped a disaster. Now he is in Jinyang with his own families.

As for his wives and concubines, there were several other sons, who were either trapped in Yecheng or captured. Now, like many captured officials and generals in Qi State, they have settled in Jiankang.

Duan Shao got Li Li's permission and secretly went to Jiankang to meet his family. When he appeared in front of his wives, concubines and sons, his family thought he was seeing a ghost in the daytime.

His official wife, Yuanshi, was first scared and then hugged him and cried loudly, and his sons were not much better.

After all, Duan Shao was "defeated" more than ten years ago. Who would have thought he would still be alive?

Considering his situation, Li Li has been hiding his identity from the outside world so far. He has not asked Duan Shao to show his face in Yecheng before, so as to prevent his brother and son from being unlucky in Jinyang.

Therefore, when the Chu army attacked Hebei, Duan Shao still worked and taught in the military academy. Now he is in Kaifeng and he often communicates with his family who lives in Jiankang from time to time, but he doesn't know how to talk to his current family.

Tell your son that your father is actually a nobleman of Qi and the cousin of several emperors of Qi?

Tell your son that your father, as the commander of the entire army, changed his name and surname after being defeated and captured, and survived to this day?

Liang Xiang (Duan Xiang) is still young after all, and his tone is not strict. If the news leaks, let Qi State know, that would be bad.

Thinking of this, Duan Shao felt a little sad.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Qi State. Li Li, a fierce tiger, became an emperor, and his army was unstoppable. Qi State's national reign has not been long for many years.

When Qi was destroyed, there was no need to hide his identity, but when he thought that Qi had lasted for a few years, Duan Shao was filled with mixed feelings.

His aunt Lou Zhaojun was the main wife of Gao Huan, the Emperor Shenwu of Qi (posthumously conferred title). The previous emperors of Qi were all his cousins. His family also contributed a lot to the establishment of Qi.

Duan Shao felt uncomfortable as he saw that Qi was about to perish.

But what can I do? When I encounter a strange person like Li Li, my cousins ​​can't handle it at all.

Gao Yang lost in shame, and he himself was defeated and captured. What else can I complain about?

Seeing that his son had added several bowls of rice in succession and finally got full, Duan Shao asked: "You have the same amount of appetite in the military academy?"

"Father, the food in the school canteen is greasy, so I can't eat so much." Liang Xiang (Duan Xiang) replied, and then took the initiative to talk about his study and life situation in the military academy.

Military academies are divided into several categories, and the source of students is different. For example, the military academies he went to study were actually "military preparatory schools", which prepared students in advance for the military academies.

The "Military Preparatory School" has a wide range of students, including royal families, children of officials, or children of military families.

The purpose of its teaching is to enable those who are preparing to study in formal military academy to have basic cultural and military qualities.

The admission age is required to be at least fifteen years old. In the first year after school, you can bring your servants to live in the "single dormitory" and your daily life can be taken care of by the servants.

I learned cultural courses and physical education courses, with the purpose of "enlightenment", exercise my body and learn rules.

A year later, all students have to change dormitories and live in the dormitory of the eight-person room. They are not allowed to take servants and take care of themselves in daily life.

In addition to cultural courses, I began to learn horse riding, archery, and soldiers.

In the third year, increase the learning intensity of cavalry, shooting, and attack, and learn basic military tactics (military theory and knowledge).

When graduation, students' cultural level must reach the level of elementary school, and martial arts must reach the level of new recruits at the end of the military recruit battalion.

At this time, the graduates who are eighteen years old and are already adults can enter the formal military academy to study, learn various military knowledge, and then learn how to fight and lead troops.

After graduation, the graduates become lieutenants, enter the army, lead troops at the grassroots level, and accumulate experience.

After a certain period of experience, based on his daily performance and meritorious performance after participating in the war, he entered the next level military academy and was promoted to a school official after graduation.

This is the promotion path set by the State of Chu for officials, generals, and even ordinary soldiers and the people.

Ordinary people who have no military experience can start their military life by studying in the military academy.

The soldiers who have made meritorious service in the army, or soldiers and soldiers who have served for a certain period of time, whether they were recruiting soldiers, recruiting soldiers or surrendering soldiers at the beginning, can all go to military academy, become lieutenants after graduation, and enter the "official sequence".

Promotion according to the rules of the new system.

Duan Shao personally participated in the construction of the Chu Military Academy system and served as the "Professor" of the "Cavalent Section" and the director of the Tactics Department. Although he has been on the second line for a long time, he has trained many cavalry generals.

Seeing his son Liang Xiang (Duan Xiang) enter the officer training system he participated in and began to gradually grow into a new type of officer, Duan Shao suddenly felt that "the predecessors planted trees, and the future generations enjoyed the coolness."

As long as Liang Xiang (Duan Xiang) is not too lucky and does not die from accidents such as falling arrows or falling horses, he can steadily follow the "martial arts" path.

Either serve in the army and maintain qualifications, or serve as an assistant to a certain royal family member to lead troops, and accumulate connections and resumes for the career.

When you reach a certain level, you can still change your civil and military affairs, become local officials, and become civil officials.

The father, who does not need to be an awkward father, deliberately entrusting his relationships everywhere, giving gifts, and begging his sister to blow the wind beside him, so as to find a good future for his son.

This is the military talent training mechanism built by Li Li. People who cannot read books but want to make achievements, whether they are powerful people, children of officials, or civilians, have the opportunity to take this path.

Follow the rules, enter the system to serve the country, and be promoted according to the rules to change your own destiny.

At the same time, this military talent training system has also changed the structure of the army.

Many "military arts" (military knowledge and experience) that were originally learned by relying on life on the battlefield, or "military arts" taught within the general's door are now taught in a systematic school teaching method.

This has led to the rapid increase in basic military talents in Chu State.

Such a talent training system enables the army to recover quickly after war damage, because there is a continuous stream of qualified military talents to be supplemented into the army, which can enable the rebuilt army to restore certain combat capabilities as soon as possible.

If the army does not suffer serious losses, then the grassroots generals who survived the battles can continue to grow and become the seeds of famous generals.

One of the things that touched Duan Shao the most was that his students performed well in the Chu army's battle to attack the Turks.

The Chu army and the Turks achieved decisive victory in this battle, and although many grassroots cavalry officers (lieutenants) basically entered the grassland for the first time, their overall performance was excellent.

As long as you continue to hone your skills, excellent generals will gradually emerge among these people, who are good at cavalry combat.

By then, the combat capabilities of the Chu army, which is not short of horses, will continue to increase.

As military academies continue to enter the army to serve, the talent accumulation of the Chu army will gradually increase. As time goes by, there are successors of the strong army when it was founded, and there are a high probability that it will maintain combat capabilities.

The unique system built by Li Li uses different methods to cultivate grassroots military talents. Now it seems that the effect is good.

But this system also has another meaning.

Duan Shao remembered something and asked his son: "How many of His Highnesses are studying in the military academy and are classmates with you?"
