With the holy decree issued by Zhu Ci in the court, 20 million taels of silver were quickly allocated from the national treasury, and large-scale construction of schools began across the country.

With the school, books are being printed in large quantities, and the next step is to hire a teacher.

Language and ideology and morality are very easy, most of them are related to Confucian classics, etiquette, righteousness, honesty and other principles and etiquette, these are usually the things taught in the Four Books and Five Classics, so you can directly hire Confucian students above Xiucai to teach.

In terms of history, after discussion, Confucian scholars who were familiar with historical records were also hired to teach.

After all, many Confucian scholars are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and they also read some historical books such as Spring and Autumn Periods and Historical Records.

There are also candidates for mathematics, that is, bookkeepers and shopkeepers from all over the world, and people who are familiar with arithmetic to teach. Although most of these bookkeepers, shopkeepers and the like only know how to settle accounts, the mathematics books set by Zhu Cijiao are not very profound, and most of them are also based on accounting, the main thing is that Zhu Cijiao first promoted the simple Arabic numeral arithmetic bookkeeping method in the Ming Dynasty through mathematics books.

Since the arithmetic of Arabic numerals can dominate mathematics in later generations, he has enough charm to believe that soon all students will be proficient in writing Arabic numerals.

The biggest difficulty is in the field and physics books, especially physics books, although physics books are written in the usual common common knowledge and other basic physics, but in the past, no one has studied this item at all, let alone enough people to teach.

After discussion, the ground is still taught by Confucian students, according to the book, anyway, it is to introduce the topography and landforms, mountains, rivers, water and soil, climate characteristics and so on in the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to understand, Confucian students themselves understand and then teach students, it is not difficult.

In terms of physics, Zhu Ci pondered for a long time before deciding to order to look for strange people and strange things in various places, not to seek how knowledgeable he is, but only one point, that is, according to the common sense introduced in physics books, he will continue to verify with students, so that students can understand those basic physical phenomena.

For example, when thunder, why do you see lightning first and then hear sound, the analysis in books is that light travels faster than sound, and the task of physics teaching is to constantly take students to verify it.

Zhu Ciji firmly believes that when all kinds of physical phenomena are analyzed and become truly well-known common sense, then there will be fewer and fewer things that people deduce ghosts and gods when they don't understand in the past, and eventually there will be more and more verification and analysis, more and more comprehensive, I believe that it will not be long before the Renaissance will break out in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will continue to move forward in the direction of modern times, so that the Ming Dynasty will lead the progress of world civilization for a long time in the future.

When schools were about to be built, people were also discussing sending their children to school.

An ordinary farming family of eight consists of an elderly man, two couples and three children, all six to eight years old.

Among them, one couple gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the other couple gave birth to only one boy.

"Boss, second, reading is a big deal, related to whether the children will be able to get ahead in the future, so Da Lang and Erlang must go to the school to study, as for Ya Ya" Ya Ya is the girl's nickname, the old man said, looking at the girl.

The girl seemed to know that the time had come to decide her fate, her big watery eyes filled with anticipation of reading.

"Daddy, since the school also recruits girls, it also doesn't cost money, and it's not a matter for Yaya to stay at home, she can't help the family, and she has to be taken care of, which is very troublesome, so it's better to let her go to the school to study together." The girl's mother spoke.

Although patriarchy is a common phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it doesn't cost money, most families still don't care, besides, although the girl's mother was born in a family with 100 acres of fertile land, there is a certain amount of income surplus every year, the old man provided two grandchildren to study, she didn't know how to envy at the time, but she was suffering from her own woman, plus there was no such good conditions as free education for all, so she could only be envious, and now it was her daughter's turn, and she also encountered such a good thing as the imperial court implementing free compulsory education for all, Of course, she has to fight for her daughter.

"Daddy, Hui Niang is right, and it doesn't cost money, it's good that Yaya can learn a few words, and when she gets married in the future, she will use words in many places, and there will be no use for planting." The girl's father also said to the old man.

"Okay, then let the three children go to school together." The old man pondered for a while, since his son and daughter-in-law agreed, although he also thought that it was reasonable for a woman to be virtuous if she was not talented, but in the end he couldn't ignore the faces of his son and daughter-in-law, so in the end he agreed.

After the girl learned that she could also enter the school, her eyebrows and eyes were immediately full of smiles, and she looked cute and extraordinary for a moment, so that the girl's parents and grandfather couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, and it was worthy of their consent to see the child's innocent smile for nothing else.

What this family doesn't know is that because of their decision today, twenty years later, an ordinary peasant family has flown out of a well-known female writer in all directions, and many people are envied.

At the same time that the Ming Dynasty was determined both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty and was making bold preparations for free compulsory education for all, the Manchurians in Mobei, who were moving westward, stopped and stopped, and had left the westernmost part of the Mongolian steppe thousands of miles away.

Here is the proximity to Zungar.

Jungar is the most powerful tribe within a radius of thousands of miles, when the conquest of Mongolia, the Manchus had contact with them, if the Qing Dynasty was not defeated before, the Manchus would never put Junggar in their eyes, but at present, the Manchus only have 30,000 cavalry and more than 1,000 dragon breakers with flintlock firearms, and Junggar has nearly 200,000 iron horses, the strength is above the Manchus, and the Manchus also bring hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children, once they really pair all the iron horses of Jungger, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The desert flew sand, and Dolgon led hundreds of thousands of Manchurian people, the old and weak, to temporarily camp here, quietly waiting for the Eight Banners scouts to come back with news of the way ahead.

"Announce" a white-flagged scout rode in front of Dolgon.

"Qiqi Regent, King Jungar led 100,000 iron horsemen to kill here, threatening to collect all my Manchurians into the tribe and avenge the defeat of the Eight Banners in the Mongolian steppe!"

"Humph! Well done! Dolgon raised an eyebrow, not alarmed.

When the Qing Dynasty rose, the strength of Zungar was also not weak, at the same time as the Qing Dynasty conquered the Mongolian steppe, Zungar also sent tens of thousands of iron horsemen to intervene sideways, but unfortunately Mongolia was soon conquered by the Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners and Mongolian Iron Cavalry gave Zungar a hard blow.

From the beginning of his westward migration, Dolgon considered confronting the Dzungars, and although he was not afraid of the nearly 200,000 iron horsemen of Dzungar, he had to plan carefully in order to protect the hundreds of thousands of people, the elderly, the weak, women and children from unbearable damage.

"Jihar, according to the plan, you immediately lead your people to retreat into the Gobi of the Sanxian Gorge three miles away, and the king of Junggar will be dealt with by this king!" Dorgon calmly ordered.

In fact, the reason why Dorgon chose to stay in this place for three days, and laid a large number of mazes to confuse Dzungar, was to defeat Dzungar in a battle, and force them not to dare to stop him from continuing to move west with his people.

"Wow!" Zihar received the order and immediately took hundreds of thousands of Manchurians to avoid the old and weak, leaving only Dolgon and more than 30,000 Manchu elites waiting for the arrival of the Jungar cavalry.

"Lungu, you immediately took 10,000 elite Eight Banner Iron Cavalry and more than 1,000 Dragon Breaker Army to the sand dune five hundred meters away to ambush, but King Jungger only thought that we only had 20,000 Eight Banners to dare to come with 100,000 Iron Cavalry, this king will definitely take him by surprise, so that his 100,000 Iron Cavalry will not return!" Dorgon was full of murderous words.

Dolgon's claim to be a great talent is indeed not a mediocre talent, and he laid a lot of maze along the way, and sure enough, he confused the king of Dzungar, and dug a pit waiting for the king of Dzungar to jump.

With the approach of 100,000 Jungar cavalry, the first large-scale battle in the history of the Manchu westward migration was about to break out.
