On February 22, the sky was gloomy, and Guangxi had entered the rainy season. In the sun, the green Dayao Mountain is also covered with a gloomy feeling. Wei Ze touched a handful of sweat, and put the two bamboo baskets carried by the bamboo flat on his shoulders on the materials piled up like a hill.

The mountain breeze has the fresh smell of spring forests, trees, grass, mountain flowers, and thick moisture. Looking at the mountain on weekdays, when the clouds are thick, it feels like the whole mountain is shrouded in thick clouds. Now that Weser was standing under the thick clouds, his feelings were even stronger.

In accordance with the regulations, Zhang Yingchen of the marching army has set up liaison posts along the way, and the liaison personnel at more than a dozen stations can communicate with each other more quickly. Even at night, he was able to send someone to deliver the letter. After the victory, this communication line was immediately operational, and it only took two days for the news of Yong'an City to reach Wei Ze's side.

Zhang Yingchen panted and ran to Wei Ze, "Chief Wei, the King of the South has already ordered to send three brothers to pick us up first." ”

After saying this, Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but get closer, and said in a low voice with joy: "Wei Sima, I'm afraid that the brothers of those three pawns will be under your command in the future." ”

For such a monkey-jumping guy, Wei Ze didn't hate it at all. Wei Ze remembered that when he was a student union cadre during school, even if he was a literary cadre, it could be regarded as being promoted, and his joy was naturally indispensable. So Wei Ze smiled and said: "Ying Chen, now that you are carrying and seizing, the brothers of the three pawns will be under my command." But when I return to Yong'an, the brothers of these three pawns still have to be under the command of King Nan. You want to do things one yard at a time. ”

Zhang Yingchen has no experience in the system, and he has never suffered losses in these aspects. He didn't hear the meaning of the exhortation in Wei Ze's words, but said indifferently: "Captain Wei, if you return to Yong'an, you can be promoted to brigade commander, and you have to make up for three more brothers." ”

"Ying Chen!" Wei Ze put away his smile, "You just said that if I want to be promoted to brigade commander, I have to return to Yong'an City first." But if I lose my armor and return to Yong'an City with heavy casualties, do you think I can still be promoted to brigade commander? The king of the south is afraid that he will cut off my head. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yingchen was stunned, "Chief Wei, we have won a big battle, how can we lose our armor!" ”

"That's when we won a great battle, and now we haven't moved these captures back to Yong'an City. What should we do if we are intercepted by the Qing army on the road? The Qing army will not let us return to Yong'an so smoothly, if we encounter a large Qing army attack, for the lives of my brothers, I can only take everyone to escape back to Yong'an first. When the time comes, let's return to Yong'an in disgrace, even if we have won a big battle, what is the use? Wei Ze persuaded very seriously, "Ying Chen, you have to start and finish things." These characters are now drawn at most a skimming. ”

Zhang Yingchen is also a smart person, and after listening to Wei Ze's words, the burning energy quickly passed. He said seriously: "My subordinates will send people to explore the way now, and we can't let the Qing army raid us no matter what." ”

"Let's go." Wei Ze agrees with Zhang Yingchen's current view. When plundering grain and grass, Wei Ze was the attacking side, and the Qing army was the defensive side. Now that the role has changed completely, Weezer and the others have the burden of being captured, and their entire movement has been greatly restricted.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the brothers of the three pawns who had come to meet them finally arrived. I was also shocked when I looked at the mountain of materials. Of the more than 20,000 catties of supplies, half is grain. There are more than 1,000 catties of salt, and more than 1,000 catties of wine and meat. There were more than 3,000 catties of gunpowder and lead, and the rest were military supplies such as cloth.

Wei Ze immediately convened a meeting, "What is urgently needed in the city at the moment is salt, gunpowder, and lead. On the contrary, there is not much shortage of cloth and food. Brothers, the Qing Demon will definitely not give up if he loses these things. I thought it would be better to ask the brothers who had just arrived to bring those thousands of catties of things back to Yong'an first. After these most important items are sent back to Yong'an, you will come back to pick up other food and other goods, what do you think? ”

This request is clearly a cheap for the three new brothers, and it is naturally a great achievement to be able to transport those seizures back to Yong'an. Even if Wei Ze grabbed it, as long as Wei Ze failed to return to Yong'an, it was the three brothers who were rewarded first. Such a good thing, the brothers naturally have no reason to refuse. The three guards immediately agreed.

There was wine, meat, and enough food, so Wei Ze buried the pot to cook, and first let the three pawn brothers eat with their mouths full of oil, and then send them out. Looking at the back of the brothers who each brought more than ten catties of things on the return journey, Wei Changrong was a little puzzled, "Fourth uncle......, why do you want to do this?" This is clearly to make those brothers take the lead. ”

Wei Ze replied: "Changrong, I want to give all the credit this time, so I can't bear to give up these things that don't matter much. But if it is attacked by the Qing army in the middle of the road, it will not be able to keep even half of the credit. That's why I sent back the most important salt, gunpowder, and lead. ”

"Then why don't we send it?" Wei Changrong was a little angry.

Wei Ze is very familiar with Wei Changrong's calculations, but he has a bit of a big picture in the system, and it is not a good thing to blindly think only about himself. He replied: "Since we laid it, we naturally have to take care of it to the end." What's the matter of throwing these three pawn brothers here? Changrong, sometimes it is not a loss or a loss, but a responsibility. If the brothers of these three pawns are under my command in the future, they will naturally feel that they will not suffer a loss if they follow me. Even if they don't follow me, if they fight together in the future, these brothers won't think that I, Wei Ze, are not doing things properly. We are not afraid of offending people, but we don't need to deliberately offend people. ”

Wei Changrong thought about it, and probably understood Wei Ze's thoughts, "Chief, but I thought too little." ”

Having said that, it was enough, Wei Ze didn't comment on Wei Changrong, he changed the topic, "Hmm! By the way, do you remember the words I asked you to write down? ”

At this time, Wei Changrong's face immediately turned unpleasant, "But I didn't remember it." ”

"Alas!" Wei Ze sighed, in the history books he had read, it was written that the Red Army had spent great energy in order to strengthen cultural education. Now Wei Ze understands why the Red Army has to spend so much effort and come up with countless methods. During this intense war, where is there so much spirit to learn while fighting? Even if he knew a lot of interesting methods, Wei Ze didn't dare to use those experiences directly, and before he became the brigade commander, Wei Ze could be in the limelight at all.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze suddenly had another thought. In history, the word that describes some traitors is called "great traitor Ruozhong", and as far as Wei Ze's current work is concerned, I am afraid that there is really such a suspicion. Allegiance to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was Wei Ze's means, not his goal. The only thing Wei Ze had in common with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the overthrow of the Manchus. Thinking of this, Wei Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly. He sighed in his heart, "People...... it's just like this. ”

In any case, more than 4,000 catties of things were transported first, and more than 300 brothers even ate and took them, plus two days of food and drink, and there were less than 14,000 catties of materials left to be moved. The work intensity of handling is greatly reduced. The urgent things were transported away first, but Wei Ze did not urge his brothers to hurry away, but began to strengthen the vigilance and restore the body of the troops. At the same time, a little cultural education has been strengthened.

Queue up and report the number is the most basic thing. Left and right, up and down, front and back, southeast and northwest, heaven and earth, and how to write from one to ten, you also have to start learning. It took two days to teach something so simple.

It's not that the fighters refuse to learn, but the fighters have mixed accents, and trying to unify into a consistent language is a problem. The fighters can't be blamed for this. Brothers from all over the world have accents from all over the world, and if it weren't for the fact that some brothers could speak Hunanese, Wei Ze would really not be able to deceive the Qing army.

The accent cannot be unified for the time being, so the only thing left is to forcibly carry out text education. At this time, Wei Ze encountered a new problem, just about two dozen words that are closely related to real life, and soldiers who have not learned to read and write just can't remember them. Wei Ze didn't know what to say, just a few words, Wei Ze felt that children in the 21st century would remember it in two days.

Another problem arose was that some of the more urgent soldiers could remember the words, but they were never able to connect the words with reality. Encountering this problem, Wei Ze finally came to his senses.

In the 21st century, the vast majority of Chinese parents begin teaching their children to count before they are two years old. Many children can count from one to one hundred at the age of three, and they have the concept of numbers and words through repeated practice. These concepts were repeatedly trained and applied in the process of growing up, at school, at home, and in life, and gradually became tools to which they became completely accustomed.

The more than 200 brothers under Wei Ze range from their teens to their thirties. For the first time, most of them have really introduced words and mathematics into their lives, and forcibly let them establish a connection between their thinking and words and numbers, and for the first time establish the concept of using numbers and words to organize their thoughts.

This is tantamount to being born in the world they have formed, forcibly inserting a completely new system into it. If children learn this way from an early age, they will get used to it before they feel the pain. For the current Taiping soldiers, they can only deeply feel the pain of this process.

Thinking of India in the 21st century, there is still a large number of illiterate things. As long as a person can write his or her own name, he is considered to have escaped from the ranks of illiteracy. Weeser fully understood what had not been conceptualized before, that an industrial country that was educated and able to master cultural knowledge was truly incomparably great!
