Qin Zhao stood on the high platform of the training ground, looking at the two thousand soldiers under his command.

The soldiers were divided into one thousand new soldiers and one thousand veterans. The difference between the two was obvious. The veterans were all wearing silver scale armor and steel helmets, looking extremely elite. These equipment were peeled off the bodies of the rebels during the Battle of Huguang. After Qin Zhao returned to Jinghai Fort, he found a blacksmith to repair these steel armor and iron armor.

Most of the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty were able to repair armor, so just one month later, all of Qin Zhao's thousand veterans put on scale armor.

Most of the scale armor seized were made of fine steel, but a few were iron armor. Because Qin Zhao seized more than 1,400 scale armor at one time, most of which were steel armor, almost all those distributed to the 1,000 veterans were steel armor.

In addition to the steel scale armor, the veterans also had a set of chain mail that was worn under the scale armor when fighting. In addition, the veterans also had a set of cotton armor that was worn under the chain mail.

Of course, wearing three pairs of armor is very stuffy. Today is training. The veterans did not wear chain mail or cotton armor, but only wore the outermost scale armor.

As for the 1,000 recruits who had just recruited, they were not assigned armor for the time being. Everyone was wearing short brown hair that they were on when they joined the army.

The so-called short brown is a men's clothing for tops and underwear made of coarse cloth. The length of the top is generally around the hips and knees. It is called short brown, but in fact there are long-sleeved short-sleeved styles. Qin Zhaofa gave the recruits of the regiment to the long-sleeved styles.

The three big characters "Fate Ball" are dyed with dyes on the short brown.

Qin Zhao glanced around his soldiers and felt that they were standing neatly, so he nodded. The two thousand people stood very densely, almost everyone stood together, but there was no feeling of chaos, and the column and the lineup were clear at a glance.

Qin Zhao said loudly: "Today is the third day for recruits to join the army."

"The physical training task of the recruits is very heavy, and it is even heavier than that of the already very strong veterans. Someone advised me not to talk to the recruits about the non-commissioned literacy squad, for fear that the recruits will not be able to endure the hardship after hard physical training and will not have the energy to participate in the non-commissioned literacy squad."

"But I think it's better to leave the opportunity to you and make your own choices instead of deciding that the recruits cannot endure this hardship."

"My service regiment is different from the ordinary Qiubaba soldiers. My service regiment is a new type of army. Veterans all know that we fight with new weapons when we go to battle, and we won't brag at all. Of course, we need discipline and courage, but we also need intelligence."

"Whether it is operating rockets, or operating bird guns in the future or using cannons, it requires intelligence. There are complex steps to operate new weapons in combat, and even a certain amount of computing power is required, which requires non-commissioned officers to learn to read."

"Only those who can calculate literacy are good non-commissioned officers in my life group!"

"So when I served the regiment, the non-commissioned literacy team came into being."

"You need to train during the day, and the tasks are heavy, and the non-commissioned literacy class will be held at night. Anyone who is determined to become a non-commissioned officer or even an officer can sign up for the non-commissioned literacy class. There are teachers in the literacy class who teach everyone to read and calculate, so that everyone can read and calculate, and become someone who can understand the notices and rules!"

"In the future, more and more people will serve the group to learn to read. All non-commissioned officers and officers must be able to calculate. We are a new type of army. If we don't know how to operate rockets and cannons?"

"The teachers and textbooks in the non-commissioned officer literacy class are free! Even those who do not have the confidence to be non-commissioned officers or officers can participate in the non-commissioned officer literacy class and make themselves a person who can write and calculate. In the future, you will retire from the service regiment and walk to the countryside to represent the image of our service regiment. You are also a gentleman who knows and writes the text."

Hearing Qin Zhao's last words, the recruits all laughed.

Fortunately, many veterans were transferred to the recruits to become officers, so veterans had expectations for their future non-commissioned officers, and they heard Qin Zhao's previous words. However, the recruits had just joined the army and could not see any future for becoming officers, so they felt that the bright future of Qin Zhao said earlier was very far away.

They felt that the non-commissioned literacy squad was opened for veterans.

However, after retiring from the army, it is a very realistic thing and a very decent way out. So when the recruits heard Qin Zhao's last words, the recruits burst into laughter.

Qin Zhao looked at the recruits and thought for a while and said, "The recruits may think that being a non-commissioned officer is too far away. But you should know that my service regiment will continue to expand. In the future, the service regiment may have 5,000, 10,000, or even 100,000. Today, you think that you are a recruit and cannot be a non-commissioned officer. But if the scale of the service regiment becomes 100,000, all the outstanding ones among you will become non-commissioned officers, officers!"

When the recruits heard Qin Zhao's confident words, they were all shocked.

Will the service team increase to 100,000 in the future?

What do you need so many people to do? Will the Northern Expedition restore Nanjing, or even Beijing?

The veterans did not have any emotional fluctuations. After staying in the service regiment for more than half a year, these veterans had seen Qin Zhao's methods of enlightenment and iron-blooded style. The veterans subconsciously felt that Qin Zhao would do a great cause, and they also believed that the service regiment would continue to expand.

These veterans have followed Qin Zhao from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Qin Zhao ordered an attack on Guangzhou Prefecture, these veterans would not frown.

Qin Zhao looked at the calm veteran camp and nodded.

He waved his hand: "All those who want to learn culture from the non-commissioned literacy class for free will go to the class entrance to register! The heads of each class will count the list and we will start classes in three days!"

"For every thirty students, I will be given a gentleman!"

"I'll say all this today! Disband!"

Qin Zhao was about to leave, but he heard someone from the recruits running over and walked up to him and said, "Report to the Guardian! I have a reputation for having a child!"

Qin Zhao looked at the person who came and asked curiously: "Have you passed the county examination and the prefectural examination for the imperial examination?"

The visitor nodded vigorously and replied, "Return to the Guardian, that's exactly what it is!"

"How about the hospital examination?"

"After I passed the government examination, the world was in chaos and the hospital examination was not opened."

"I am the thirteenth place in the provincial examination last year."

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay! He is a well-educated person! What's your name?"

"My name is Zhanhong!"

"Zhanhong, let your class leader give you "Non-commissioned Officer Training Ethics". If you can memorize "Ethics" within two months and pass the exam, I will let you be the teacher of the non-commissioned officer literacy class. I will give you money to you!"

Zhan Hong opened his eyes excitedly when he heard Yinzi, and asked curiously: "Governor, how much does the teacher in the literacy class pay for the silver?"

"In addition to military pay, there are three taels of silver per month for you."

Zhan Hong smiled happily and said, "Okay! Master Shou! I will definitely pass the exam."
