Chapter Seventy-Nine: Great Power (II)
If everyone grows sugarcane, the whole Zhejiang is sugarcane forest, not only the purchase price of raw materials will dive, but the finished sugar can be sold overseas, and the sugar industry will also be affected. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Saturation of demand means a lot of things. The current trend is that after the success of the pilot, the new deal will begin to be popularized, and blind obedience is indispensable, so some interested people will come up with the idea of planting other crops and walking in front of the trend to obtain more profits.
Relying on the new organization and system, relying on the farm tools purchased and the irrigation machinery installed in the past year, the planting cooperative where the Ding family belongs decided to send more people to Fucheng to do research in the second half of the year, and finally decide whether and what to replant.
In the meantime, Ding Junjie said goodbye to his mother and rushed back to the recruit training camp, and when the time came, the soldiers who participated in the formation of the new army set off from Jinhua and walked north in full armor to report to Nanjing.
On the official road from Jinhua to Nanjing, the song of Siming Mountain, which was cheerful and full of the spirit of revolutionary optimism, sounded, and these improvised soldiers walked briskly towards the distance, and also towards the future full of hope in the distance.
Hundreds of miles away in Nanjing, Chen Wen had already returned to the palace of the king of Qi, too many government affairs to deal with, and the daily itinerary was full, so that when the large library located in the Nanjing University Hall was completed, he only participated in the opening ceremony and hurried to the Jinshan Weijun Port in Hangzhou Bay, where a large number of warships and cargo ships would set sail.
More than a year ago, after graduating, Ding Junjie chose to join the army, while Shi Xiaoniu was lucky to enter Nanjing University Hall. By July, when the heat in Nanjing was unbearable, and there were no classes at the moment, Shi Xiaoniu found a book translated from Taixi in the large library, and some of the experiments on mechanics, especially the one done on a sloping tower, were even more interesting.
"Something of the same weight can actually land at the same time, and I will find a place to try it when I come back."
Tsai carefully read this page, Shi Xiaoniu took notes on the experimental procedures, but just as he was pondering where to find suitable experimental props, a group of students gathered at a row of tables not far away, but a more heated argument broke out.
"It has been two years since the Korean vassal state was destroyed by the Tartars, but Wang Shi was reluctant to send troops to rescue, thinking that when Emperor Xian was in power, he would ......"
"This classmate, when Emperor Xian was in power, the Ming Dynasty was like the sky, not to mention the northern provinces, even Liaodong was in the palm of his hand, and the Tartars of the Nuer Gandu Division also obeyed the order, and now the world is in tatters, and he can still take care of the vassal country?"
"What about Shaanxi, King Ji has endured humiliation for many years, and now he has raised troops to fight against the captive court, and it is even more happy to slaughter the whole city, and I don't see the king of Jiangsu and Zhejiang sending troops to help."
"He said to endure humiliation and bear the burden? Use your brain to see if Wu Sangui is anyway, it's not that the current situation is clearly unfavorable to Tartar, and he wants to take advantage of the fire. If it weren't for this switch, the Tartars would have been able to stay in the customs for a long time? How broken is the world to this point? ”
"His Royal Highness King Ji is borrowing the thief to avenge his father for the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Jian ......"
"As a result, Emperor Jian was captured by the Tartars and killed in the capital, and the Tartars took advantage of the infighting of the Han family to sweep the world. I'm afraid that there is no quiet desk in the world! ”
“……”
After listening to two sentences, Shi Xiaoniu lost interest anymore, and similar quarrels have never been less. I remember a few days ago, there was a guy with a mouth and a sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading, but he was picked up in front of him, and there was a cousin who did not come out of the five suits at home who participated in the imperial examination of Tartar and was also an official.
In fact, the students of Nanjing University Hall are not too complicated, mainly the outstanding students of the Boy Scout School of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Ming Army, accounting for the vast majority of the number, and the others are the children of the gentry who participated in the anti-Qing resistance and helped the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Ming Army Group. However, although the number of the latter is not large, and the proportion is not large, the voice of the quarrel is not small, especially good at messing around.
Shi Xiaoniu quarreled with them a few times, and gradually discovered one of their thinking patterns, or quarrel patterns. That is, "I" is a righteous man and a gentleman, so those who are different from "me", or who disagree with "my" opinion, are treacherous villains, and what treacherous villains say is naturally not credible, so "I" must be right.
found that these guys would take it out whenever they couldn't argue, and Shi Xiaoniu didn't bother to pay attention to them - it was clear that he was unreasonable, and he didn't care what they were doing. At this moment, seeing that those classmates were about to start quarreling again, Shi Xiaoniu hurriedly went to the administrator to borrow the book, and left here in three steps and two steps.
"It's so hot, it's two temperatures inside and outside this library, this group of guys who have read sage books for many years, but can't even do it three times a day, really occupy the pit and don't, I'm sorry."
The library is specially designed, considering many aspects such as fire prevention, anti-theft, moisture-proof, insect-proof, etc., it is much cooler than the outside, and the large library is built under the private sponsorship of Chen Wen, in winter the Qi Wangfu will transport coal, and in the summer will send ice, so that students can be exempted from the cold and heat when studying here, which is much cooler than the current hot outer room like a furnace.
Fortunately, after more than a year here, Shi Xiaoniu also knew a place that was still better, and when he left the big library, he went straight there.
A moment later, Shi Xiaoniu came to a tree-lined path on campus. Under the shade of the trees, there is still some shade of sunlight. Leaning under the tree, calming down and calming down, he opened the book again, but this time, the heat was unbearable, and it was inevitable that there was a little reverie, and it was always difficult to concentrate.
"Hey, I don't know what happened to Brother Ding, Brother Liu, and Senior Brother Gao now."
The three people in Shi Xiaoniu's mouth, including Ding Junjie, were all his friends when he was in the Boy Scout Academy, and the latter two were roommates in a dormitory. Several of them have been friends with each other on weekdays, and their fathers and brothers in their respective families are also familiar with each other in the army, but it is a pity that this graduation can be regarded as parting ways.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Xiaoniu looked at the book, but he still couldn't read a word. Whether to take the books back to the dormitory to read, or go to the big library to see if those people have had enough noise, hesitated for a moment, he decided to go to the big library first to see if it was quiet, if not, go back to the dormitory.
After deciding to make a decision, Shi Xiaoniu was about to close the book, but at this moment, a green leaf somehow fell from the tree behind him, and fell on the page in a flutter.
"It's just time to be bookmarked."
Closing the book with satisfaction, Shi Xiaoniu stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and was about to walk in the direction of the big library. But he hadn't taken two steps, but his face suddenly froze, and then he quickly turned the page, and the leaf was exposed to his eyes again.
"Falling leaves, falling leaves, why is it falling, not flying, is it said that there is an invisible force pulling it?"
………………
Shi Xiaoniu was obsessed with mechanics in the hall of Nanjing University and couldn't extricate himself, and Ding Junjie, who he was still talking about before, had already set off from Jinhua.
Out of the boot training camp, although the brigade was temporarily organized, it was like the old battalion leader who had accumulated for many years, and under the Beller of officers at all divisions and levels, they were steadily advancing towards Nanjing. By the middle of July, after an armed trek of half a month, at a speed of no less than 50 miles a day, we finally crossed this 900-mile-long distance and arrived at the training camp at Niushou Mountain in Nanjing.
The training camp is located in the plain area east of Niushou Mountain and south of Jiangjun Mountain, and the entire training camp area is surrounded by high walls.
After entering the camp, Ding Junjie and the others did not disband and rest, but were ordered to re-divide the team and go to the camping area to repair their clothes as a team.
When he shouted Ding Junjie, he handed over the old waist card, received the new waist card, and went to the corresponding area to line up according to the instructions of the Zhenfu soldiers.
After a long time, when the detachment was completed, they marched to the camping area in a step-by-step procession, and no one said a word during the whole process. However, after entering the barracks and announcing the disbandment of the pacifiers, they were no longer in a state of march, and self-introduction was indispensable when they met for the first time.
"My name is Huang Chengming, a military rank of Captain Renyong, and I will serve as the temporary captain of our team during the training."
Huang Chengming was in the army from the mountains of western Jiangxi in the large-scale expansion of the army when Chen Wen recovered Jiangxi, and he had been in the army for many years, and he had also fought many times before he had the rank of captain Renyong.
The temporary captain is an official position during the training period, and Ding Junjie also served as the temporary captain during the recruit training camp, but he was appointed after ten years of training to help manage and restrain the recruit team. However, it was the first time that an officer who could barely serve as the commander of the battalion was appointed as a temporary captain.
Ding Junjie was at the head of the line, and seeing that the temporary captain introduced himself, he gave a flat-chested salute to everyone and said to everyone: "Report to the captain, the lowly Ding Junjie, from the Jinhua recruit training camp." ”
Ding Junjie held his chest high, and the pin pinned to his chest as a preparatory member of the Huaxia Revival Association was shining, which he began to apply for when he was in the boot camp, and he was an active training model in the camp.
Ding Junjie is like this, there are two reserve members like him in this team, and a few are applying, one of them is called Niu Zhong, who is a big waist and a round waist, and he knows at a glance that he is a loyal and honest man, and this person is also from the Jinhua recruit training camp, but he has never seen it.
"My family's land is in Xiaoshun Town, Yiwu County."
"Oh, my family's land is in Yongkang County."
After introducing each other, because they were all from the Jinhua recruit training camp, Ding Junjie had a friendship with Mr. Niu, but this person was not very talkative, and it could even be said that he didn't like to talk to others very much, and he soon disappeared.
The training camp in Niushou Mountain, just like the various recruit training camps from which they came from, can even be said to be no different from the army, everything is in order.
The beds were allocated in the order of the detachment just now, and after packing up the salute, their team went out with Huang Chengming, and while going to receive toiletries and other military supplies, they took them to familiarize themselves with the camp.
Out of the team's dormitory, everyone who was still talking in groups lined up according to the queue when they came just now, and followed Huang Chengming to the camp. This is the rule in the army, and they naturally don't understand the reason, but what makes Ding Junjie a little strange is that all these people in their team are selected from various recruit training camps, and most of them have attended the Boy Scout Academy, and the rest are more or less literate, and none of them are completely illiterate.
Full of doubts, Ding Junjie received military supplies in the camp and returned to the camp. After washing up, having dinner, and returning to the barracks to wait for the lights to go out, Huang Chengming gave them a more in-depth introduction, which was also to dispel some of their suspicions.
"Before you came here, you must have received the news that a new army was going to be formed."
Huang Chengming said, they all knew, several people nodded, others also showed a look of agreement, Huang Chengming continued: "The number of the new unit is still confidential, and the training time and training content are also confidential. What the officer can tell you is that this new force is being prepared for the Northern Expedition, nothing more. ”
Northern expedition!
Hearing this word, everyone's spirits were lifted. Along the way, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, from scratch, gradually recovered a large area from the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River in the north, the South China Sea in the south, the East China Sea in the east, and Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou in the west, and annihilated the Qing army no less than hundreds of thousands. Today, all that remains is the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, recovering the old land of the Han family, and then sweeping the court and plowing the holes, and the great achievement of the world can be completed.
Almost all of them joined the army for the final blow against the Manchus in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, not only Ding Junjie. If you don't mention killing the Tartars for revenge, even if it is just for military merit, it will be the most generous reward, and there may not be such a good opportunity to make a fortune in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
Everyone's eyes focused on Huang Chengming, but the latter shook his head and smiled: "Don't think that if you can enter this training camp, you can be used as a soldier in the Northern Expedition, this training camp will continue to eliminate any personnel who are regarded as unqualified by the Military Training Department, and there will be no exception, including this officer." ”
"So, after two days of recuperation, after two days, you will begin the most rigorous training, and the level you used to have in the training camp of Xinbin was only pediatric. This official still says the same thing, if you don't meet the requirements, the Northern Expedition will have nothing to do with you, it's as simple as that. ”
The rewards of the Northern Expedition, the harsh training, and even the elimination, after listening to Huang Chengming's words, everyone was stunned. However, Huang Chengming didn't give them time to think, took out a document full of large and small characters, put it under the oil lamp in the barracks, and showed it to everyone.
"This is the military song of this new army, given by His Royal Highness the King of Qi. You have two days to learn while familiarizing yourself with the training rules and trimming. In two days' time, His Royal Highness King Qi will come to inspect it, and you must learn before that. ”
In terms of military songs, the earliest song of Siming Mountain of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies is familiar, and there is a story of the Nantang battalion attacking Jinhua that year. In addition, the triumphant song written by Qi Shaobao is also a common military song of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, and they have sung it during this march, and these military songs have also played a role in boosting morale.
The military song of the new troops, when they heard this, they all cast their eyes on that piece of paper. "You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting! ……”
Passionate words and phrases can be catchy even if you don't need a word card. And under the dim light of the oil lamp, a few big characters were clearly written on the top -- "Song of the Educated Youth in the Army."
