In the Beihai National Army, a thousand non-commissioned officers were arranged to join the army to serve as deputy positions, which did not cause turmoil. After all, Malin had greeted him a long time ago, and many people knew that there would definitely be such a day.
Moreover, Ma Lin also clearly stated that these non-commissioned officers were too young to take on the main role alone at once. They would learn from the old officers who have been promoted by military achievements for many years, and then they would take over after someone retired because they were old.
In addition, these 1,000 people mainly serve as the deputy captain of the team, the company captain, and are grassroots officers, and do not touch the interests of those nobles.
In fact, Malin has preferential treatment for the military aristocracy of Beihai Kingdom. The children of military aristocracy who were awarded their titles for their military merits are more advanced than those of ordinary children. At least, the teaching staff is different.
For example, most of the schools that these 2,000 non-commissioned officers attend, were trainees by wounded and retired small officers or even soldiers. These instructors themselves have no education and cannot understand many military textbooks themselves, let alone teach those non-commissioned officers and students.
In the special school for aristocratic children in Orich, there are middle and senior generals who serve as teachers in military theory courses, and the difference in teaching power is not very large.
That's why Marin eliminated half of these 2,000 non-commissioned officers. In addition to personal personality and aura, poor military theory foundation is also one of the important reasons. After all, general lectures and veteran lectures are two completely different concepts.
Moreover, when assigning official positions, in addition to the results, when the results are similar, the children of nobles should also give priority to higher positions.
For example, this time, the team adjutants and company adjutants are mainly arranged as company adjutants, and the aristocratic children are generally arranged as company adjutants. However, only a few common people with very good grades will be like noble children. They will be arranged as company adjutants. In the future, they will take over as company captains, and the starting point will be much higher than those of those team adjutants. According to the difference in the number of people under the jurisdiction, the difference between the two is ten times! Because, a team has only 25 people, while a company has 250 people...
...
The Beihai Kingdom had no objection to those who had excellent grades being selected as grassroots officers and adjutants. After all, the Beihai Kingdom's army had long been used to being different from the old army. Corps commanders like Steindorf, who were born as civilians, were completely impossible in other countries.
But for the remaining 1,000 non-commissioned officers, who were organized into a single army by Marin, many officers were jealous of...
Those are all "top students" who have received 10 years of education! Everyone understands that being an officer, what is it about being an ordinary soldier?
Even Schwartz expressed dissatisfaction with Marin's remaining 1,000 non-commissioned officers joining the army alone. Their dissatisfaction is that it is too extravagant and wasteful to have so many educated "top students" as big-headed soldiers!
You should know that in this era, the literacy rate in Europe was extremely low, only about one percent. Moreover, priests accounted for a large proportion. After all, preaching requires culture.
In such a general environment, every scholar who has been studying for many years is a treasure. In some small places, these scholars, even ordinary children, will be hired by local officials as clerks (equivalent to secretary or masters from ancient China).
After all, in ancient Europe, civilians could not become officials. However, the children of nobles were not all academic masters, and there were many more students who were not knowledgeable than academic masters. After they became officials, they needed the help of educated people. In addition, they shared their workload.
And those educated civilians have not been without benefits after becoming the aristocratic clerk. With the opportunity to access those official documents, they have a lot of opportunities to gain benefits for themselves. Even the entire family can benefit from it. After all, the identity of the people around the officials is also very powerful. One person can achieve enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.
The things that Schwartz and the others were dissatisfied with were here - these were all educated "top students". Even if they couldn't serve as military officers, they would throw them into the place to be bookmakers or something, which was not bad. Why waste talents like this?
...
Why doesn’t Malin know this? But the Beihai National School trains more than these talents, but also college students. When those college students graduate, they are the core of politics. These non-commissioned officers with average cultural level are indeed slightly better than those currently working official clerks. But compared with college students who are about to graduate in less than two years, it is not worth mentioning. After all, the first batch of college students are the best people selected from the first batch of primary school graduates.
Therefore, although it is indeed a waste to use this group of non-commissioned officers as big-headed soldiers, Marin did not feel much distressed. Because in the future, there will be more powerful college students. If there is nothing to be a pity to waste a few non-commissioned officers.
Moreover, the non-commissioned students who were eliminated had poor grades. It was not all their fault, but when Malin founded a private craftsman school to train commoners, he really couldn't find a qualified teacher, so he just casually got together. Many semi-literate who were just literate were also pulled into the craftsman school to serve as cultural teachers, and it was strange that he could teach powerful students.
But there is nothing we can do about this. When Marin first obtained the East Friesland Kingdom, there were only tens of thousands of people in the country, with a literacy rate of one percent... In other words, at that time, only a few hundred people in the country were literate, and they were not counted as the poor students among these hundreds...
Most of these literate people work in government and churches. Therefore, you can imagine how many teachers are...
To be honest, most of the teachers in craftsmen’s schools were basically just making up numbers, and their level was extremely poor. They could recognize all the words in the Bible and be considered excellent.
In this context, you can imagine what kind of students they trained are...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In Marin's eyes, the previous students were just semi-finished products of education and were "defective products". Only when the first batch of college students came out and Beihai Country had teachers with a solid cultural foundation, can the students trained in the future be considered real finished products.
Of course, it is not necessary to have college students. For example, Beihai Country has actually set up a secondary technical secondary school teacher. After three years of junior high school, it is to select the best group to go to high school to go to college. Then, the rest go to go to the secondary technical secondary school teacher. After graduation, they go to the countryside to work as primary school teachers and so on.
Because they were eliminated once after graduating from elementary school, the group of people who studied in technical secondary school normal school were not bad students, but the middle-level grades. They may not have enough ability to teach junior high schools, but they are more than enough to teach elementary school. Now, the first batch of technical secondary school normal school students are about to graduate. From now on, Beihai Country will have professional primary school teachers, instead of just picking up a few words to be teachers. As for the previous group of unqualified teachers, Ma Lin planned to give some money as a sender.
After all, they will not be able to use them in the future. Of course, these people have also played an important role in the education of Beihai Kingdom. Malin will definitely arrange good jobs and will not treat them unfairly. For example, they can be arranged to serve as an accountant in the manor. Malin remembers that in the later generations, each village would have a special accountant, which uses statistics on the calculation of money and grain. Although these eliminated teachers have poor educational level, they can at least write and calculate. Arranged as an accountant in the manor can be used to make the best use of people.
