Chapter 1856: Ma Kai, the word Dehua
Although it is true that Marin has very little oil in his hands now, with the opening of the Persian route, it is still no problem to import dozens of ships of oil a year.
Therefore, it is unrealistic to let the whole country promote diesel engines, but only a few warships are installed with diesel engines, and fuel can still be supplied. According to John. According to Lafite's report, the French were only ready to equip six Calais ships. If you want to target France, you don't need much, and the same 6 are enough. The ships of the Beihai Kingdom themselves are more resistant to artillery bombardment, and the warships will definitely be covered with iron sheets, which will be more resistant to beating.
Then, each "Dover ship" pretended to have 8 more single-cylinder diesel engines, which ran faster than Calais...... Marin really couldn't think of any reason to lose to the six French Calais.
What is certain is that once those Calais ships are destroyed, France's dream of a naval power will continue to die down......
But now Marin is not going to make a move, because, England is not yet under Marin's jurisdiction, and he does not need to make a move. It would have been better if the Calais had caused a few problems for England. In this way, after he takes control of England, he can also gain a wave of prestige in England by dispatching the Dover ship to kill the French Calais ship. But while striking at the French navy, it was bound to suffer French retaliation on land. That's why Marin has only now ordered the construction of a border defense line and a core area defense line. Without him, it is just to prepare for the entry into England......
At this time, Pregant, who wanted to bravely lead the French navy to defeat the English. Bidus is currently busy receiving six Calais ships from the Strait of Gibraltar. However, there was no artillery on this Calais ship......
No wonder, in the style of the Spaniards, allowed a warship armed with a 7,000-pound saurisk cannon to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar? Therefore, the six Calais ships were all disarmed and disarmed in order to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. As for the saurisk cannons on the six Calais ships, the Venetians sent another merchant ship to hide the cannons in the bilge and quietly transport them to France, and then let the French re-install the cannons on the bow of the ship......
Although the Lilcisk Cannon weighs 7,000 pounds, which is very heavy, the French don't care, there are many families and craftsmen. With good manpower and machinery, 7,000-pound heavy guns can also be lifted and transported.
Once the saurilisk cannons have arrived, loaded onto the warship, and waited for the weak wind, it was a good time for the Calais to sail in search of England......
It's just that poor Bidus didn't know that he hadn't yet made a move against the English, and Marlin had already kept an eye on the news of his ship and cannons, and had made a more powerful "Dover ship". If Bidus had known this, he would have vomited blood and shouted, "What is the ship of Calais (Yu) and the ship of Dover (Liang)?" ”
……
Once the modification plan was decided, Marin returned to Aurich. When I have nothing to do, I still have time to teach children to read. Seeing that Xiao Ma Yun is gradually growing up, when he reaches adulthood, he will definitely be sent to Daming to "study abroad". So, from now on, Marin began to keep an eye on Jack Ma's studies.
Different from the content of Caesar's learning, in order to adapt to the society of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Lin asked Ma Yun to start directly from the Four Books and Five Classics when learning Chinese. Moreover, he also asked Taiyi Liu, who was full of poetry and books, to help teach.
Although Taiyi Liu is a doctor, he has also read books and passed the examination. However, I didn't get into the exam, otherwise I would have given up medicine and practiced literature. After all, civil officials were only considered people in the Ming Dynasty, and medical officials could not be on the stage.
Although Ma Lin is the soul of China, he has received education under the red flag since he was a child, and he is really not good at ancient literature. Therefore, the task of educating Ma Yun in the Four Books and Five Classics fell on Imperial Doctor Liu. And Lao Liu, for the sake of the future generations of his children, also tried his best to teach Ma Yun to read.
Moreover, Lao Liu has a wish, that is, to let his grandson return to Daming with Xiao Ma Yun, it is best to find an official and a half-job. He was judged to be a member of Liu Jin's party and was already a member of the "eunuch party" who could not gain a foothold in Daming. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for their whole family to return to Daming, and even if they went back, they would be spurned. But if you hug Ma Yun's thigh, it'll be fine. Da Ming can't tolerate the eunuchs, but Dongfan Island can. Anyway, it is within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as "homecoming". He was old and had no hope of returning home. However, his grandchildren are still young, and there is still hope for them to go back, even if they live on Dongfan Island.
In this regard, Ma Lin naturally has no opinion, as long as he educates Ma Yun well, this selfishness is still allowed. As for Lao Liu's education level, Ma Lin doesn't care. Because, he asked Xiao Ma Yun to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, not really to let him go to the Ming Dynasty to take the imperial examination, but to let him not understand what people said when facing those Ming Dynasty civil officials.
The civil officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, influenced by the Bagu Wen, liked to quote scriptures when they spoke, but they refused to show their meaning, but liked to let people guess. This is not to blame for those civil officials, it is the imperial examination that stipulates that it is the case - you must quote scriptures and classics, and you are not allowed to have your own opinions......
Therefore, not only has the style of writing articles become like this, but they also like to quote scriptures and classics when speaking, and they have beaten around the bush. I don't have a certain foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics, so I can't understand what they're talking about.
Just like the last time Ma Lin went to Daming, it was okay to talk about things with people, especially when he talked about things with the eunuchs, which was even more refreshing. can talk to those civil officials, and always make you guess. It's not that people do this on purpose, it's really a habit.
If you go to Daming once in a while, you naturally don't need to compensate those Ming civil officials for playing the game of "guess and guess". But if Ma Yun wants to act in Daming in the future, he must understand, otherwise he will be tricked.
Therefore, Ma Lin asked Taiyi Liu, who had taken the Xiucai exam, to help teach Ma Yun the Four Books and Five Classics, so that he could adapt to his future life in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Caesar and Robert often went over to observe. After all, they are children, and they are also very interested in foreign cultures.
Moreover, Caesar's Chinese foundation is very good, and he began to learn Chinese very early, and it is easier to accept listening to Liu Taiyi's lectures. And because Robert is not an heir, he has not learned Chinese, which is regarded as a secret by Marin, which sounds naturally difficult.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma Yun is the same, there is no foundation, the two brothers are unlucky together, and they are often beaten with red and swollen palms by Imperial Doctor Liu's small board.
In this regard, Marin also strongly supported it, and repeatedly emphasized to Ma Yun that he must respect his teacher. In Daming, students must not disobey their teachers...... Therefore, these boards belong to the "compulsory courses......
On this day, when the three children, including Ma Lin, were listening to Doctor Liu's lecture, Doctor Liu talked about the problem of table words, and wanted to give Ma Yun a table word. This is a custom in Daming - the teacher helps him take the table characters.
But Marin waved his hand and said:
"No need, Jack Ma's words have already been set up - Hua Teng ......"
Mrs. Liu was a little lost in her heart, you must know that giving students a table is also a kind of determination of the teacher-student relationship. is different from ordinary disciples who are famous teachers, and Imperial Physician Liu is in a hurry to tie up with Xiao Ma Yun, so he naturally takes the initiative to help him get the table words and establish the teacher-student relationship first. However, Marin didn't give him this chance......
At this time, Caesar, who was in attendance, suddenly asked:
"Dad, do I have a Chinese name?"
Marin thought for a moment and said:
"Ma Caesar? If it doesn't work, let's call it Ma Kai......"
"That table ......"
At this time, Imperial Physician Liu interjected:
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is virtuous and graceful, why don't you take the word Dehua?"
Marin was dumbfounded - Nima, how did my baby Caesar become a horse...... Dehua?
