Zheng Sen entered the study and saw Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu, and Zheng Zhibao talking about something inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Seeing Zheng Sen coming in, Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "Ah Sen is here?" Come here and sit here. ”

"Daddy, second uncle, third uncle." Zheng Sen saluted the three of them one by one. Although his father was very affectionate to him, and several uncles liked him very much, the necessary etiquette was indispensable. Many times, those who were originally very favored are often disgraced because they are pampered and arrogant, and lose etiquette. Accumulate it, and in the end it makes people bored and don't know it.

"It's all my own family, how can I be so polite." Zheng Zhihu shouted, "Ah Sen, the second uncle just said, you are the same as the eldest brother, you are a lucky person." You said that those red-haired ghosts might hide in Liaoluo Bay, and they really hid in Liaoluo Bay. Well, third child, tell Asen about the situation of our battle. ”

Zheng Zhibao pouted when he heard this and said, "Second brother, if you want to talk about it, you should talk about it." If you want me to speak, you have to keep interjecting again. Who doesn't know, you can't hold back and want to show off. I don't talk about it, I want to talk about it. ”

"Where am I on display? I'm just going to add to you, the province missed an important place. Zheng Zhihu said with wide eyes.

"I won't talk about it anyway. Big brother, you still speak, let the second child speak, and I'll add it. Zheng Zhibao said.

"You two!" Zheng Zhilong glared at Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, and then said, "Forget it, you two haven't been able to make it clear, so let me talk about it." ”

Zheng Zhihu: "&...... ￥%……&”

Zheng Zhilong described the process of this battle quite briefly, which was nothing more than that they brought more than 150 large and small warships to the entrance of Liaoluo Bay, blocking the eight plywood boats of the Dutch and Liu Xiang's more than 50 boats.

"The Dutch made a mistake, they left Liu Xiang's fifty or so boats out of the periphery to protect them from the disaster, and their own plywood boats hid inside. As a result, Liu Xiang's ship blocked the Dutch cannons tightly. Originally, the Dutch's eight boats and hundreds of guns were not necessarily easy to deal with. As a result, none of them worked.

Liu Xiang's ship, like ours before, had only a few Fran cannons, far inferior in power and range to our new guns, and was first thrown into a mess by our cannons, and then we took the opportunity to release a hundred or so fireboats. There was only a little more big place in Luowan, and they couldn't avoid it at all, so they all burned up at once. At this time, those Dutchmen realized that they had done something stupid, and hurriedly rushed out. If they had done this at the beginning, maybe they would have been able to rush out a lot, but by that time, it was too late, and the bay was full of Liu Xiang's boats that burned like torches, and they had to be very careful to dodge them, so they couldn't drive at all, and they couldn't form any formation, so we took the opportunity to beat them up and sank three plywood boats in one go, and your second uncle even took people to jump ship and capture one. The remaining four rushed unexpectedly, and as a result, they really let them run. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhilong sighed and said, "Ah Sen, you're right, those special warships are better than those made of merchant ships. There was one of the largest plywood boats, which smashed away two of our warships and one of Liu Xiang's boats floating on the sea, and crashed out of the sea. Moreover, the artillery on both sides was really raining, and several fireboats were sunk before they could get up. I also lost a lot of brothers. If we hadn't blocked them in the bay, but on the ocean, it would have been hard to defeat them, even if we had many ships. It's good that they don't have ports available everywhere like us, otherwise, it's really ...... However, although these four boats ran out, the damage is not clear, I am afraid that they can only run all the way to Batavia, if there is a little wind and waves on the way, it is not necessarily that a few can really run back.

By the way, Asen, although the ship that your second uncle grabbed is a little damaged, but it is generally good, you can go and see it when you have time, and in addition, I also plan to hire some people who can build ships, use plywood boats, and make cannons as you said. Build our own fleet of plywood boats. However, I estimate that these things can not be done well in a short period of time, and I estimate that it will take several years for the initial scale to become large. And that's not the most important either. The most important thing is that the use of this specialized warship is probably not the same as the ones we are familiar with before. Our people, Asen, especially your brothers, are going to use these things, and use them well. Asen, you are the eldest brother, you have to take the younger brothers a little. ”

"Daddy, the child will definitely take care of his younger brothers." Zheng Sen nodded.

"Well, Asen, it's not easy for you to study and care about these things." Zheng Zhilong said, "It's already October now, and there are not a few months left before the Chinese New Year." I don't think you have to go back to Hong's house before the Chinese New Year. Take this time to teach your younger brothers more. In addition, although the craftsmen who built the ship, the craftsmen who made the cannons, it took time to find them, but how to use those plywood boats, among the captured Dutchmen, there were some ready-made people who could use them. To be honest, these Dutchmen fought very beautifully in the first few battles, and they beat the sailors of the imperial court to the bridlers, which was really miserable. As for being taken by us this time, to a large extent, we really can't blame them for not being able to fight. So, I want them to tell us how these battles were fought, their experiences. We will also add our own comments on their experiences, and then I will summarize these things and give them to you, so that you can sort them out well, and you can also let your younger brothers learn according to them in the future. In our family, even your father and me, we are all coarse, and we can't do this. These things are all very important, and I don't feel comfortable letting people with foreign surnames do these things. ”

"The child understands that he will never let anyone with a foreign surname know about these things." Zheng Sen immediately hugged his fists.

In this era, because military attachés are often hereditary, some tactical know-how often becomes the family secrets of military generals, and they are not passed on. Of course, Zheng Sen knew that this approach was quite backward, but at least for now, this approach was in line with the Zheng family and his own interests. So at least for now, Zheng Sen doesn't plan to change it. Of course, when he steps onto a bigger stage, when these bad habits become an obstacle to greater benefits, Zheng Sen will not hesitate to sweep it into the dustbin of history.

As a result, an important task was given to Zheng Sen. Because after translating the war memoirs written by the captured Dutch, Zheng Zhilong found that many things in naval warfare needed to be calculated mathematically, so Zheng Zhilong asked the other children to learn math with Zheng Sen. As a result, Zheng Zhilong's other children, Zheng Du, Zheng En, Zheng Yin, Zheng Xi, Zheng Mo, and several children of his other brothers were all lost to Zheng Sen. It was also a very important opportunity for Zheng Sen, an opportunity to establish prestige and leadership among his younger brothers. In a sense, Zheng Zhilong's arrangement is also quite meaningful.

If you want to talk about Zheng Sen's mathematical level, it is more than enough to teach a few bear children, and it can even be said that in this era when calculus has not even had time to develop, in terms of mathematical knowledge alone, Zheng Sen can definitely beat the world. But teaching bear children to learn math is not just about high level. For example, in the time and space of Zheng Sen's previous life, Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician in the Red Rabbit Kingdom, once taught a group of bear children in a junior high school, and it was said that the teaching effect was so average that he was considered unsuitable for the position of glorious people's teacher.

Zheng Sen had only been a student in his previous life and had no experience in teaching bear children, but it was not difficult to teach his younger brothers, because some of the conveniences provided to Zheng Sen in this era were not comparable to those teachers in later generations. Of course, this so-called convenience does not refer to the conditions on the hardware, but refers to the teaching process. Zheng Sen has far more power than those teachers in later generations.

In later generations, because of the protection of the legendary "Little Animal Protection Law", if you encounter a bear child with preserved eggs, the teachers actually have no effective way. But Zheng Sen is different, in this era, it is natural for an elder brother to use various means, including violent means, to educate his younger brother. Coupled with Zheng Zhilong's explanation, Zheng Sen encountered much less resistance in some aspects when teaching his younger brothers.

At noon that day, Zheng Sen began to check the learning status of his younger brothers as usual, but the content was simple, but it was just a ninety-nine table. It is said that the ninety-nine table is really an invention comparable to the four major inventions, and with it, the speed of Chinese oral arithmetic has been greatly improved.

However, in the simplest inspection of the ninety-nine table, the third Zheng En had a problem. To be honest, it's not that the third child doesn't know how to memorize the ninety-nine table, but he usually plays a little bit and is not proficient enough to memorize, so in the timed training, he failed to complete the 120 multiplication and division questions on the test paper on time. It was not only Zheng En who failed to complete the question within the specified time, but also Zheng Du, the second child, and Zheng Xi, the fifth child. It's just that the number of unfinished questions in the third child is really outrageous, and the second child only has two questions that he hasn't had time to complete, the fifth child is young, so he naturally has to be slower, and he has not completed more naturally, but he has made 90 questions, only Zheng En, who has only made more than 40 questions. Zheng Sen inquired, only to find out that when the third child was making nine times seven, he actually had to first multiply nine by seven to become seven times nine, and then "one nine to nine, two ninety-eight, three nine...... so that he slowly memorized it until "seven nine".

"Third child, that's how you memorized the ninety-nine watch?" Zheng Sen's face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm.
