Chapter 1123: The People's Army
The soldiers who had already eaten breakfast were studying their own homework in their respective tents.
On rainy days, when it was impossible to go out for exercises, according to Li Jiajun's habits, the officers and men had to learn cultural knowledge. In the camp tent of each shi, everyone has a wooden stick, and everyone surrounds the most literate chief, and follows the practice of writing one by one.
In the Li Jiajun, the level of cultural knowledge of the soldiers is inextricably linked to the level of their official positions in the army.
The reason is actually very simple, the regulations are very clear, every time you are promoted, you must take the exam.
Under the pressure of the baton of the promotion mechanism, a soldier with a low level of education, no matter how strong his personal martial arts is, at most he can do it, it will be considered the end.
In the history of the Great Celestial Empire, the relatively fair imperial examination could completely change the fate of an individual. The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty mainly examined poetry, so great poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei emerged in endlessly.
In the previous college entrance examination, there was a famous saying, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and you are not afraid to go all over the world.
Later, after the popular public examination, as long as you cross the single-plank bridge of the written test and interview, it is equivalent to serving a golden job, unless you make a big mistake and be double-opened, you will never be unemployed!
Forcing his officers and soldiers to learn cultural knowledge, Li Zhongyi actually has a deep strategic thinking, and the layout can be described as extremely far-reaching!
The years of war will pass sooner or later!
In peacetime, the status of military personnel will inevitably show a gradual downward trend, while the civilian clique will gradually take full power.
For example, Han Xin during the Chu-Han hegemony period. Even if Liu Bang hates him again, in order to defeat Xiang Yu, he must pretend to be heroic and say: Why bother to fake the king of Qi, if you want to do it, you can do it really.
After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty and the stabilization of the regime, Han Xin was tricked into Changle Palace by Empress Lu and stabbed to death with a random gun.
Rejuvenating the country through science and education is often just an empty slogan in an official-oriented society, but it is the road to strengthening the country that Li Zhongyi has diligently pursued.
The people may let it be done, but they cannot know it. The consequences of this kind of policy of ignoring the people will inevitably lead to the fact that when the alien race invades, the common people are very numb, and they are worried about it?
The logic of this is extremely terrible: the common people will always be the object of oppression, who is the oppression, or not?
After being transferred from the army or discharged from the army, the demobilized officers can actually act as school chiefs or enlightenment teachers in counties, pavilions, and villages.
Starting from the children in the countryside is the correct way to popularize scientific knowledge, and we must always pay attention to it!
At a time when the industrial foundation is extremely weak, Li Zhongyi can only concentrate on doing great things, first forcing the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervision to strive to improve the level of national defense science and technology, pull up the scientific research team first, and continue to climb the tree of science and technology.
Then, we will take advantage of the opportunity to set up various industrial factories such as steel mills, brick factories, cement factories, and agricultural tool factories in various places to spread the technology.
The core of setting up a factory is technology and business talents!
The drawbacks of only taking the four books and five classics for the imperial examination can be said to be deep-rooted, and Li Zhongyi cannot abolish the imperial examination for the time being out of the consideration of stabilizing the political situation.
However, in an army where obedience is his duty, Li Zhongyi can completely open another door to the technology tree.
Under the pouring rain curtain, in the camp of the garrison outside the eastern city, the sound of reading almost drowned out the roar of the raindrops hitting the ground, as if this place was not a violent institution with killing as a profession, but a private school.
Suddenly, in the sky above the barracks, the sound of the military horn of the emergency assembly sounded, "Dididi......
"Put on your cloak and assemble urgently!" The officers and men in the camp tent grabbed their coats and put them on their bodies, and Lian Sheng ordered his subordinates to do the same.
Soon, in the large camp of more than 10,000 people, the soldiers had already assembled, waiting for the commander's order.
Song Yunxiang stood on the platform with his head held high, holding an iron hoe in his left hand and a large iron horn in his right hand.
"Soldiers, all listen to my command and stand upright......"
In the occasion of more than 10,000 people, relying on a big iron horn alone, the people at the back of the queue must not be able to hear what Song Yunxiang is saying.
After so many years of continuous improvement, around the huge phalanx queue under the point general's stage, dozens of heralds lined up, each with a big iron horn.
Every time Song Yunxiang said a word, the heralds followed and disseminated the same content, so that everyone could clearly hear the commander's orders.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lord has always said that we are the people's own army. Now, the streets and houses in the capital have been flooded by heavy rain, and the people are in trouble, crying helplessly in the heavy rain. People say, should we help? ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Well, I am hereby instructed that in addition to the necessary combat remaining troops, all our troops will take sapper shovels, sacks and hoes and go to the north of the city to assist the government officials and the common people at home, digging ditches and ditches to drain the water, and strive to quickly drain the water in the city...... Did you hear it all? ”
"Hear me clearly!"
"Okay, all of them, listen to my command, start from Battalion B, line up in turn, and start pulling!"
With Song Yunxiang's order, the Fifth Army, which had already exceeded 20,000 people, except for the old troops who left Battalion A to watch their homes, almost set out and headed for the north of the city.
The same scene also appeared in the garrison camp outside the west gate, south gate and east gate of Kaifeng City, and for a time, nearly 100,000 troops were all mobilized and quickly went to the waterlogged area of the city that they were responsible for.
"God, the house is all flooded...... Wang Xiaoyi left the food stall and hurried home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the big bed in the corner had been half flooded by the water pouring into the house.
Wang Xiaoyi didn't care about wiping off the water droplets on his face, and he didn't have time to cry, so he threw himself into the intense drainage work.
The rain was pouring outside, and Wang Xiaoyi and his family used a clay pot to scoop water from the house very hard, and then poured it outside the door.
However, as the rain became heavier, the water poured into the house also accumulated.
In the end, Wang Xiaoyi was desperate to find that no matter how hard the couple tried to drain the water, the water that poured into the house not only did not decrease, but became more and more.
"Hell, can't you live?" Wang Xiaoyi, who had his head broken by a ruffian and didn't cry, finally couldn't stand the torment of despair and cried loudly.
For a while, Wang Xiaoyi's mother-in-law couldn't help crying, and the two little babies who were put on the wooden cabinet to avoid the water also sobbed and cried.
It's not just Wang Xiaoyi's family crying, but in the slums in the south and north of the city, every street is crying and wailing.
Alas, this day is simply impossible to live!
Just as the common people were crying from hope to disappointment, from disappointment to despair, there was a sudden deafening shout on the street outside, which completely overshadowed the sound of the pouring rain.
"Folks, don't panic, our people's own army is coming...... Under the orders of the officers, the officers and soldiers who carried sapper shovels on their shoulders and hoes and iron pickaxes pulled their throats and shouted in unison as they hurried forward.
PS: Today's first more is sent, the third more is absolutely guaranteed, ask for a monthly pass, and encourage Sikong to refuel the code word!
