Chapter 101 Animal Husbandry and Crops are Knowledge
After five rounds of shooting, Tian Ping waved his hand and shouted: "The time is all qualified." You go and look at the target. ”
When the horse arrived at the target, he counted it, and eight out of ten was already a pretty good result.
Liu Yu was very satisfied, jumped off the horse and practiced for a while in foot archery, stone locks, etc., confirming that as long as these subjects were played normally, there was no problem.
A few good friends came together, and although they did not form associations like the literati, they would also discuss the affairs of the world.
"Eight out of ten in riding and shooting, the craftsmanship of the elder brother is becoming more and more exquisite. Just now, when I was shooting left and right, I didn't have this kind of method, but few people can have this method. ”
A man who supported archery next to him smiled: "Shooting the bow left and right is the real skill." Shooting left and right, after all, it was still a little worse. Besides, Brother Shouchang's means are also high, and it can be reloaded once, and it will take a minute. If you meet a master of riding and archery, hey, with the art of riding and archery such as one horse and three shots, Su Qin's back sword, when Brother Shouchang is still loading, the arrows on his body are enough to hit two catties of fine iron. ”
Liu Yu didn't care much and threw the arquebus to the ground, and said with a smile: "You're right. Is there a fart for riding and shooting? If you want me to see it, in the future Wude Palace exam, even the riding and archery should be abandoned. Nothing works. Besides, now the content of the assessment of Wude Palace should also be changed. ”
Everyone knew that he liked Western learning, and they all quipped: "If Brother Shouchang is the chief teacher of Wude Palace, then he is not going to run a Western Academy?" ”
Liu Yu laughed, shook his head and said, "I didn't say that." It's what Wude Palace is teaching now, it's nondescript. ”
"Such as mounted archery, foot archery, stone locks, and swordsmanship, these are all skills required by elite soldiers."
"And books such as Wu Zi, Sun Tzu, and Wei Yi are the strategies that generals need."
"Wude Palace is missing the middle content. is either an elite soldier or a general, but he lacks the skills of many middle-level officers such as colonels and lieutenants. ”
"Although the book of war is ingenious, the magic of using it is in one mind, and how many people can understand the true meaning of it? How many people are really strategizing? ”
This is a problem that has been existing since the Ming Dynasty, whether it is martial arts or hereditary, the things in the martial arts examination are obviously selected elite soldiers, and they can be the generals of Guan Zhang at every turn.
However, just like the song of the vanguard that has been spread these days, the guns cracked as soon as they rang out, and there was no more Zhao Guanzhang in the world. Even if a warrior who can dance a hundred catties of broadsword is selected, it seems that there is little use on the battlefield in the future.
As for the books of Sun Tzu and Wu Zi......
It's not that it's bad, but it's not suitable as a teaching material for middle-level officers.
is the same as Xiucai's strategy theory, after many people saw their grandson Wu Zi, they were fluttering, thinking that fighting a war was just a lupine scarf and talking and laughing.
The entire military general training system is actually disjointed, and the lack of the most important training of grassroots officers has made the combat effectiveness of the Jingying Forbidden Army of all dynasties and generations very problematic.
Grass-roots officers trained by full-time military academies are the guarantee of combat effectiveness. At least it can be maintained at the passing line, rather than with the upper and lower limits of the main general's talent, which is the so-called "controlled army".
Not all fools in the Wude Palace, as soon as Liu Yu said this, a classmate of the non-Xungui disciple immediately echoed: "Brother Shouchang is right. Something is missing. There are many things that you have to learn slowly when you go to the army. ”
"Moreover, the dynasty mostly used the honorable to run the army, but the honorable man interned from the honorable guard, and then attacked the lord, and then went out of the town. Even if there is a family tradition, there is a lot less experience after all. So that although there are many nobles, once the war starts, there are very few that can really be used. ”
These people expressed their opinions in a gossipy, Liu Yu pouted for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Why don't we give the chief teacher a book together?" ”
Tian Ping leaned over and said: "If there are a lot of boastful people today, let's not be this boastful person." If you want to establish a new one, you must not break it first, but you must first have a new one, and then break it. Now even if the chief teacher Xi Yun has been entrusted to His Majesty, then if Your Majesty asks: How should I change it? What should I take? What do you say? ”
Several people next to him also felt that what Tian Ping said was reasonable.
It's easy to break, but it's hard to establish a new one.
Liu Yu just took the opportunity to pinch it, and didn't care whether it could be done, but just took the opportunity to talk about the problem, so that everyone could think about it in the future.
Some people also shouted: "If Brother Shouchang can sort it out, we will follow you to the book." Anyway, we're going to finish learning, add more courses, and let future generations worry about it, hahahaha......"
A group of people laughed, they didn't care anyway, and this year they were basically all qualitative: either they were selected to enter the upper house, or they graduated from the inner house to go to the middle level officers, and they didn't care about adding new courses in the future.
After talking for a while, Liu Yu looked at the sky, hugged his fists and said, "Come on, I'll go first." Anyway, we've had enough of it when we go out on the expedition during our day-stay class, so let's take it here. ”
When the words of begging came out, there was immediately laughter and scolding next to him.
"Brother Shouchang, where are you going?"
"Go and ask those Rakshasa captives about something. Ask them if they can learn what I call school and lieutenant. It's okay to tidy up, isn't it? ”
"Brother Shouchang is really worried about national affairs. Those who are the captives of the Guardian Brothers, beware of them harming you. ”
"Give them ten dares. You can't beat me on the battlefield, and you dare to do it if you're captured? The name of a man, the shadow of a tree, I will go to that station now, and they will be sure that their hearts are palpitating. Rest assured. ”
In the envious eyes of a classmate who was still staying in the day class, he shook his arms out of the gate of Wude Palace and came to Yang Erguan Hutong not far away.
Near the Yuewang Temple at the mouth of the alley, an Orthodox church is being built, and an Orthodox priest may have done the work of repairing the church before, and is building it under the guidance of the diagram.
There was a team of elite soldiers of the children's army stationed next to him, and the leader was also a person who had followed the northern expedition, and when he saw Liu Yu from a distance, he ran over to salute first.
"Lord Liu, who are you?"
"Hey, come and have a look. Why, aren't you allowed to go? ”
"How can it? His Majesty was only worried that the people would come to see the excitement like monkeys, but he didn't say that no one was allowed to approach. What is Lord Liu here for? ”
"It's nothing, let's talk and learn something. Threesome, there must be my teacher. ”
"Adults are studious."
The officer was also afraid that something would happen, so he turned around and shouted twice, and ran over a few veterans who had followed Liu Yu to Yongning Temple.
"A few of you follow Lord Liu, if those Rakshasas dare to make trouble, they will be beaten. Don't let them startle Lord Liu. ”
"Thank you."
He arched his hand and thanked him, and then asked, "That black and non-slippery one is also here?" ”
The officer knew who Liu Yu was talking about, and pointed to a guard hut in the distance and said, "There." ”
"What about the few people I took care of at the beginning, the Rakshasa Expedition?"
"In the hut inside, His Majesty took special care of it, and separated from those Cossacks."
"Cheng, thank you very much."
thanked him, took out a small piece of silver and handed it over, the officer accepted it with a smile, and put Liu Yu and the others inside.
As soon as they walked in, some Cossacks who had been captured by Liu Yu pointed at Liu Yu, but they didn't dare to make too many moves.
These Cossacks were of all kinds, and there were many Tatars, Tungusic and even Jurchens who had fled in the Amur Cossack regiment.
Although the appearance is still yellow-skinned, both the beard and the hairstyle are full of Cossack flavor.
Originally, in history, Ghentmur, the leader of the Daurs, defected to Tsarist Russia to become a Cossack, which was also an inducement for the Battle of Yaksa. The Gentmoor family was knighted, and he fought in the Russo-Japanese War and the St. George's Medal until he was executed by the Cheka after the October Revolution.
There are now a few descendants of the clan leaders from decades ago, but now they don't even speak their own language.
Liu Yu had little interest in these people, nor in the cavalry tactics of the Cossacks.
The Cossacks can be said to be the top hussar soldiers, and the level of robbing grain routes, sneak attacks, and harassment can force the emperor to sigh, but regular combat is very ordinary, and it is more dependent on the riding skills trained since childhood and the cooperation of long-term service. This should not be the direction of Dashun's military training in the future.
The person he is looking for is someone who can raise horses, not ride them.
He opened his mouth and shouted in Russian, which was already considered improvised: "Is there anyone who knows how to raise and match horses?" ”
A Cossack with a bald head and a handful of hair on his forehead came out of the crowd and shouted: "Sir, I will." I used to specialize in horse matching in the village community, and I also raised a lot. ”
Liu Yu tilted his head and looked at it, a little unconvinced.
"You've had a lot of horses? Then how did you get to Heilongjiang? I have never heard of anyone who is rich in the village community who went to the cold and snow to make a fortune. ”
"Sir, when we were fighting with the Ottomans more than ten years ago, our village was burned by Turkic barbarians. After the war, I came here to make a fortune. ”
Liu Yu looked at a strand of hair in front of this Cossack's bald forehead, and said in his heart, "Are you embarrassed to call people barbarians?"
But this reason is reasonable, and the rest of the people were asked, and the rest of the Cossacks also helped to say a few words.
"What he said was true. This guy is a good horse breeder. ”
"With him, there is no need for breeders or horses, and he can breed foals with mares himself."
"Gerasim, your good days are coming. The Chinese generals are going to let you go and raise horses. Hey, Chinese general, use him to raise horses, you have to take care of your mare. Otherwise, a monster may be born. ”
After understanding these scolding words, Liu Yu also knew in his heart, it seems that this person named Gerasim should really be a horse breeder.
He took out the silver and threw it over, shouting, "Gerasim, right?" Have a few good bars and your good days will come in a few days. ”
Gerasim took the silver, learned ridiculous Swedish etiquette, and went around the ground in thanksgiving.
The guards who followed Liu Yu were familiar with Liu Yu and were very casual, so they asked, "Lord Liu, what are you muttering?" ”
"Hey, find a Bimawen."
The Journey to the West has long been circulated, and the guards took a look, shook their heads, and said, "The hair on my body is enough, but I am taller." ”
Liu Yu shook his head with a smile and asked again, "Who is a good hand at growing crops?" Who grows rye? Who worked as a carpenter in the village community? Who will bale hay? ”
This time, when the Cossacks saw that Liu Yu had given Gerasim silver before, they scrambled to stand up one by one, saying that they were good at growing rye, and showed the cocoons on their hands to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu admits that he has no breeding skills, and wants to immigrate in the Heilongjiang River basin north of Liaodong, but now he has to grow rye.
The North Koreans would have grown hardy rice, but now at most they have grown it in Liaodong, Vladivostok at the mouth of the Suifen River, and further north, it should not be able to grow it alive.
Although this thing is not tasty, since the Russians can grow it in a place like Yakutsk, it is certainly not a problem to grow it in the Heilongjiang River Valley. If we really have the heart to emigrate to Sibian in the northeast, we can find a few good Koreans who can grow land and teach the immigrants to grow rice in the future, and we can roughly solve the food problem in Sibian.
A few of the cows that blew the loudest were randomly selected from them, and the silver was rewarded, and the names were left.
The remaining Cossacks who were not selected shouted out their strengths, some said that they were good at equestrianism, some said that they could axe and gun, Liu Yu was not interested, and said in his heart that the emperor kept this thing to show you to show the four Yi Yuanfu, I can't use these broken things.
After thinking about it, there was nothing available among these people, so Liu Yu first walked to the small courtyard where Bai Ling and the others were under house arrest. There are really a few useful talents in it.
