"Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and ninety-four feet on the bottom, ask the pheasants and rabbits how much they are?" A loud voice from Mr. Teaching came: "Qin Sizhao, I have already asked two similar questions in the past two days, you can do the math." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Sir, the student still doesn't know what to do?"

The gentleman's voice was full of annoyance: "Whenever something happens, don't say that you can't, but you answer simply, but you don't want to think about it, I'm afraid you don't even understand what this question means, right?" ”

Qin Sizhao replied timidly: "Sir...... Student...... Students really can't understand ......"

"Spread your hands out."

Next, the sound of the wrench pulling his palm sounded, and Qin Sizhao's muffled snort. It can be heard that Mr. Teaching is beating hard.

Yue Yun frowned, and was about to rush into the house. Wang Shen grabbed him, shook his head, and motioned for him to listen.

After beating his men, Mr. Teach shouted: "I repeat, you have to understand." The meaning of this question is that there are a number of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, counting from the top, there are thirty-five heads, and counting from the bottom, there are ninety-four legs, and the question asks how many chickens and rabbits are in each cage. ”

"The algorithm is also simple, the total number of feet minus the total number of heads multiplied by the number of chickens, and then divide the number of rabbits minus the sum of the number of chickens, and finally you can get the number of rabbits......"

He crackled and said a long list, and finally said, "You have done both of these questions in the arithmetic, and I will come back tomorrow." In addition, you can preview the new chapters of "Mao's Poems" and "Spring and Autumn", this is tomorrow's class, don't sit in class at that time...... I'm so angry, I've been teaching for more than twenty years, and I've never met a student as stupid as you. ”

With that, the gentleman slammed the door in a huff and came out.

Wang Shen arched his hand at him: "Hello Mr. Xin." ”

The scholar surnamed Xin was the private school teacher invited by Wang Shen to teach Qin Sizhao, and he had good learning, but his temper was a little worse.

When he saw Wang Shen, he probably blamed him for finding a stupid student for himself, rolled his eyes, ignored it, and walked away.

Yue Yun was furious, clenched his fists, and scolded: "What kind of slices, what rabbit legs and chicken legs, people are confused, so rude, general, you wait, I will catch up and beat the heart." ”

Wang Shen shouted: "Ying Xiang, what do you want to do, do you know how to respect teachers?" It seems that you have to ask a teacher to teach you how to be a person and do things. ”

Yue Yun was taken aback: "Then forget it, I can't bear the kind of hardship of studying, you can't do this." "Falling into the hands of a sour talent like Mr. Xin is more uncomfortable than killing him.

"What's not to do, it's always good to read more." Wang Shen's heart suddenly moved, and he had a thought.

As she was talking, An Niang came out.

Seeing Wang Shen and her younger brother, An Niang was overjoyed: "You guys are back, I'll go to the street to buy some vegetables and come back." ”

Yue Yun said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, go buy a sheep and come back, there are two taels of meat a day in the barracks, but I'm hungry." ”

Wang Shen: "An Niang, let Lao Guo buy it, finally come back, let's sit down and talk together." ”

Early this morning, Wang Shen took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and cleaned up.

This is the 15th day of the training camp for new recruits, and according to the rules of the Sizhou battalion, the troops can take turns to take one day off on the 15th day of the first day of each month.

As a general of the first battalion, Wang Shen will naturally not be subject to this constraint, and will come back every three or five days. But Yue Yun wanted to lead the troops, and since entering the barracks, this was the first time he had gone home in half a month.

According to the system of the Sizhou battalion, soldiers should return to the team before the afternoon on the day of leave. Shen Shi is three o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time in the later world, which means that they can only stay at home for half a day.

Entering the house, Qin Sizhao had already brought the tea to the table, and stepped forward to give a salute: "I've seen my father, I've seen my uncle." ”

He had just eaten his husband's board, and his hands were still red. After all, he was a child, and he still had two bubbles of tears in his eyes.

After sitting down and taking two sips of tea, Wang Shen asked about his studies.

Qin Sizhao replied that he had recently been studying "Mao's Poems", "Spring and Autumn" and "Analects", and he also had to practice two questions on the "Sutra" every day.

Since handing over Qin Sizhao to An Niang to raise, Wang Shen invited Mr. Xin back to the house to teach him to read. After all, this kid is a child of a scholar, and he is good at reading. It's just that there is some resistance to mathematics.

This is also understandable, whether in modern or ancient times, except for the gifted, most children hate this subject. One disgusted, naturally not good at learning, and then corporal punishment by Mr. Teaching.

An Niang saw that the little guy was beaten today, she was a kind person, and couldn't help but say to Wang Shen, books should be read, but arithmetic is useless, is it not learned.

Wang Shen shook his head with a smile and replied, "It's useless?" This thing is the most useful knowledge in the world! Not only do you have to learn, but you also have to increase the curriculum, and use more snacks on it. Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, the six arts of a gentleman, raising the country to the Tao. This number is mathematics.

In fact, in Wang Shen's plan, he did not plan to train Qin Sizhao to take the imperial examination in the future, and then enter the system. First of all, although this kid is still successful in studying, it is too difficult to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses in the imperial examination; The most important thing is that in this troubled world, if you want to survive, you need force.

No matter how well you read the Four Books and Five Classics, what is the use of not being able to withstand the rolling iron cavalry of the Jin Army on the front and the shining broadsword of the future Mongols on the back?

It is still possible to read Confucian books and understand the principles of being a person and doing things, but in this world, it is not very useful. Is it good to learn real knowledge, such as arithmetic? In the future, with the gradual growth of the Sizhou army, logistics support and equipment manufacturing will all require mathematics.

It is difficult to recruit this kind of talent in the private sector, and even if someone comes, people may not be of the same mind as you. Especially the core affairs of money and food, you have to be in the hands of your own people to feel at ease. Talents, you might as well start cultivating them from now on.

After listening to Qin Sizhao's speech, Wang Shen asked, "Sizhao, does your hand still hurt?" ”

Qin Sizhao: "If you go back to your father, it hurts, but my father and husband are for my good, and my son knows in his heart that he will never live up to your expectations." ”

He is a father in one mouthful, and no matter how Wang Shen corrects his life or death, he will not change his words.

Wang Shen was also helpless, and remembered that Qin Sizhao's parents died at a young age, and his mother was killed by Jin Bing in front of him. The child has now completely pinned his thoughts on his parents to him and An Niang, how can he bear to refuse?

He had to go.

"That's good, that's good, you study hard, and you can work under me in two years."

Qin Sizhao's face was excited: "Yes, father." ”

Yue Yun smiled and said, "General, this kid is as thin as Xu Xu, he has no power to restrain the chicken, can he use knives and guns, don't lose the talent of our family." ”

Qin Sizhao heard Yue Yun's sarcasm, but he was not angry, but said politely: "If you go back to your uncle's words, my nephew also learns martial arts from Uncle Guo on weekdays, and when he grows up in two years, he can also go into battle to kill the enemy." The nephew's mother died under the Jurchen Tartar knife, and this revenge was not avenged, and it was in vain to be the son of man. ”

"Lao Guo's martial arts are not successful. According to me, this kind of murderous kung fu has to go to the military middle school and practice on the battlefield. Yue Yun pursed his lips, obviously disapproving of Lao Guo.

Since it was time to talk about martial arts and battle formations, Yue Yun was upset, so he complained: "General, I don't think your method of training troops is right. ”

Wang Shen asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yue Yun: "The morning run every morning is okay, it can exercise the strength of the soldiers, and the tactical training in the afternoon is also successful, which is very practical." It's just that the queue training in the morning is really boring, everyone is saying, just stand up and take a break, turning left and right is too annoying, and it has nothing to do with fighting. Also, there are strict rules on how to walk, how to fold quilts, how to put shoes, and how to eat, does this thing have anything to do with going into battle to kill the enemy? The soldiers will be punished if they are not careful, and they will inevitably be resentful, and it is difficult to manage! ”

Not only him, but even the other officers in the battalion had the same doubts.

"Is it possible to let the soldiers fight all day long with weapons to be considered military training? Queues and housekeeping, training is the execution of non-commissioned officers and the fear of officers. After long-term training, soldiers will develop a knee-jerk reaction to carry out orders without thinking. Now no matter how much I say, you won't understand. In fact, we don't have to wait until we go to the battlefield, the next step is to start a new training subject. Wang Shen smiled and asked rhetorically: "Ying Xiang, what you don't care about, in fact, this is wrong." They don't have a free time all day long, where do they have time to secretly resent? ”

Yue Yun was stunned for a moment, and scratched his head: "Don't you really say it, the soldiers started to train non-stop as soon as dawn, and when it got dark, they were all tired and lay down, and they immediately snored when they fell on the bed, where do they still have the energy to think about anything else." Your method is actually good. ”

Wang Shen: "That's right, raising soldiers is like raising dogs, you have to let them move." Otherwise, thousands of strong men stay together and have nothing to do all day long, and those who lead the troops will be in trouble. The next stage of training is more complicated, and officers need to understand military orders. I plan to ask Lu Can to set up a school, and let the officers above the team go to study with him, and don't read any famous hall, as long as he can recognize five or six hundred words. ”

Yes, that's what he just thought. An uneducated army is a stupid army, and the group of officers under his command are illiterate except for Lu Can, Gu Lie, and Yue Yun, who are literate.

It's okay to be a low-level officer now, but when the Sizhou army grows stronger in the future, they can't even understand the military orders, how can they command the troops to fight?

"Reading?" Yue Yun was taken aback, he didn't like going to school since he was a child, and he felt uncomfortable when he sat in the school, and his face suddenly changed when he heard this.

After a while, he patted his head: "Yes, I can read and write, so I don't need to go to this school, right?" ”

"You don't have to go."

"Great." Yue Yun couldn't help but cheer.

Seeing her younger brother and Wang Shen talking and laughing, An Niang was pleased. Among the officers who knew that Yue Yun had become Wang Shen, she was reluctant in her heart.

I finally saw my brother today, I haven't seen him for half a month, my brother seems to be stronger and calmer, and he is already a husband.

I didn't think in my heart: Ying Xiang is also an adult, and his current appearance is really a bit of a father's spirit. There's no way I'm going to lock him up at home for the rest of my life. A manly man, there is always a huge sky soaring outside!

After lunch at home, it was time to go back to camp.

Wang Shen couldn't help but ask An Niang: "Can you find your mother and Ying Xiang's mother?" ”

An Niang replied that she was a female streamer, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she asked Lao Guo to go out to inquire these days, but there was no news.

It's strange to have news, no one knows better than Wang Shen where Yue Fei's first wife is now. According to historical records, after An Niang and Yue Yun's mother eloped, her lover joined Han Shizhong's army and became a middle-level officer. Now, Han Shizhong's department is stationed in Zhenjiang, and there is still a long distance from here.

This matter is related to the privacy of the Yue family, the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, Wang Shen can't imagine the situation when this lady and the lover meet, with Yue Yun's fierce temper, it is not good to say that it is another human tragedy.

His lips moved, and he said, "Then keep looking." ”

After speaking, his heart moved again, Yue Fei is in this city, and the future father-in-law is now in the Jiankang Detention Division, which is not a big official, and after a while, he will go to him to propose marriage, and it is time to give an explanation to his mother.

As soon as he thought of meeting with the military god Yue Fei, Wang Shen couldn't help but feel excited.

As a traverser, Wang Shen naturally knew how the Song army was defeated in the future battle of Jiankang, and he was already determined to save the day. If Yue Fei helped, he would naturally be a little more sure.

It's just that he hasn't told An Niang and Yue Yun the good news yet. First, I wanted to surprise them when the time came, and second, during this period of time, the troops left behind in the division were frequently transferred, and the ghost knew that Yue Fei was not in the city.

Strange to say, although the Sizhou battalion is under the jurisdiction of the former army left behind, the higher authorities have not ordered it down, as if they have forgotten their troops.

Wang Shen thought about it carefully and understood why.

In these years, the officers of the Song Dynasty had the unspoken rule of eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers, although the Sizhou Army was a battalion, but Lu Can and others only had more than 100 people on hand at the beginning, and this point was not taken seriously at all. Moreover, if the former military commander wants to mobilize the Sizhou battalion, even if it is officially recognized as its own troops, should this military salary be issued? With that money, it's better for everyone to share a point. Anyway, even if the garbage unit of the Sizhou battalion is transferred to the old battalion, it will not be of much use.

As a result, the Sizhou army was forgotten by the superiors intentionally or unintentionally.

This is exactly what Wang Shen meant, because the troops have not yet completed their training, and now the troops are pulled into the battlefield, which is basically equivalent to sending them to death.

"There is still half a month, and there is still half a month before the Jin soldiers will cross the river, and the battle curtain will open, can you catch up? Even if the new army is trained and goes to the battlefield, can it withstand the stormy impact of the Jurchens? Wang Shen didn't count it in his heart.

Later recruits were trained for three months, after which they were sent to combat units. And because of time constraints, I only have one month.

What kind of soldiers can you train in a month?
