Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Great Army Pressed the Territory
It is indeed an exaggeration to say that a blank piece of paper has reached his level. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are no teachers and no students.
His university is just a concept, the universities in Europe are actually seminaries, and then they gradually evolved over a period of several hundred years, and everything was done step by step, and China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China stepped into the university era, because it was possible to adopt the doctrine of taking it and transplant it directly from abroad. But in this era, he has nothing, those Confucian scholars do not understand science and technology, those old craftsmen who know a little science and technology are even most illiterate, and those who have both are rare, and they are as precious as the white-sided dolphin three hundred years later.
And the level of these people is also at the level of junior high school students in his opinion.
This problem had to wait for time to be solved, after all, he did not even have students now, and during this time he had already begun to imitate the practice in Changguo in the occupied area, popularizing compulsory primary education on a large scale, and all children of sufficient age had to go to school, even for both men and women, because there was still a meal at noon, and the level of food was very high, there was fish and rice for five days and a meal of meat, although it caused a heavy burden on his finances, but it did have a remarkable effect.
Now those old farmers also like to send their children to the school.
Of course, the main reason is probably to save a meal for the family, after all, those children can't do much work without going to school, but they can eat at school, and sometimes even save dinner at night. In addition to some enlightening things such as the three-character scriptures and the surnames of the hundred families, there are also some books on astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry and other books compiled by himself, which are the simplest common sense things.
As for the effect, it's really hard to say, after all, most of his country talents who are teachers don't understand those things.
However, the teaching is absolutely taught, even if it is cramming education.
There is a group of special roving examiners under the Marshal's Mansion, every day with heavily armed soldiers in rural primary schools around the country, with Yang Dashuai's exam questions, which school to take a test, if those children are found to be unqualified in the exam, then the teacher will be punished, according to the results of different punishments are not the same, the highest punishment may be whipped or even directly dragged out to kill.
On the contrary, if the assessment result is better, then the teacher will be rewarded.
The highest reward may even be summoned by the marshal, if the interview is qualified, and even be appointed as an official, this is the ultimate dream of those talents, in fact, there is indeed such a teacher, a landing talent who has not been promoted to almost forty, in this way to get the favor of the marshal, and was appointed as the local county commander, with the victory of the Ming army one after another, now there are many talents who are desperate for Kang Mazi with the idea of breaking the boat, one by one Yang Dashuai's books, It is estimated that if this continues, Yang Dashuai will be able to harvest a group of older junior high school students.
Junior high school students are junior high school students, and junior high school students are enough for teachers in this era.
After a long time, there will definitely be more people of this kind who devote themselves to the ranks of studying the works of the great handsome, and usually he will continue to open his pulpit, maybe he will really be able to harvest a few that can be used, so that a higher level of education can also be launched.
As for his cement plant, this is not a big deal, in fact, Portland cement is not technically difficult, it is nothing more than a formula and calcination temperature, and it does not even need modern equipment at all, crushing and grinding can be solved by using hydraulic machinery. Even if the scale of production was not paid attention to in the early stage, it was only experimental production, and the handicraft workshop could make it, in fact, his first furnace of cement was produced in such a small workshop in just over half a month.
Then it was bought by the Marshal's Mansion to repair the bridge.
With the advent of this kind of thing, the gentry who were driven to a dead end suddenly had another choice, after all, if they couldn't resist Yang Feng, donating land to obtain industrial benefits was not a choice.
They don't have a choice anyway.
While Yang Feng was busy building his new territory, Yabu's army was also arriving from all over the country.
This time, Kang Mazi can be said to have mobilized all the forces he can mobilize.
Lu Chongyao, the general of Guangdong on the south road, and Yin Huaxing, the governor of Guangdong, led a total of 5,000 eight banners, and 30,000 green battalions were stationed in the area of Xiangshan in Ninghai.
The west road is dominated by the Sichuan Jiangxi Green Battalion led by Sichuan Governor Yue Shenglong, plus the remnants of the Zhejiang and Fujian Green Battalions led by Zhejiang Governor Zhao Hongcan, with a total strength of nearly 40,000, based on Jinhua and Shengzhou, and their main direction of attack is Xikou and Shaoxing.
And the ultimate goal of these two roads is Ningbo, basically the strategy is the same as the last time as a diversion war, but the last time was containment, this time it is a real all-out attack, they add up to nearly 80,000 troops on both roads, against Yang Feng's two brigades left in Ningbo, and there is also a recruit brigade. These three brigades were officially organized into the second army of the Ming army, the commander of the original second brigade Feng Zhen, in addition to the new seventh infantry brigade, the remaining infantry two and three brigades have been replaced with new two-type rifles, that is, Yang Feng's version of Enfield 1853, and these two brigades are also the most elite of the Ming army, although the gap between the number and the Qing army is too large, but the strength is still very sufficient.
The Qing army on the north road was led by Yabu himself, this part is the real army pressure, and it is also divided into two routes, the left road from Suzhou to the south, with the Fuzhou general Sabusu leading the main force of 30,000 eight banners, the elite target of the 60,000 green battalion is directed at Hangzhou, the right road is led by the Jingkou general Ma Sanqi, the Yunnan admiral is biased to lead the 5,000 eight banners, and the 10,000 green battalion from Anji south to the flank to attack Hangzhou.
In short, with the momentum of thunder, we must eradicate Yang Feng, the demon in one fell swoop, of course, even if it really doesn't work, we have to take Hangzhou back.
This total strength is already very scary, almost 200,000 troops, and the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners alone have reached 40,000, how many people are there in the Eight Banners at this time? It can be said that except for those who really can't move, all the others have been dispatched.
It is said that there are more than 800 cannons of various calibers alone, and there are more than 10,000 muskets, and most of the others are arquebuses, and the proportion of firearms has exceeded two-thirds, so it can be said that the level of equipment is not inferior to the European army, after all, there are still some countries in Europe at this time that use arquebuses.
And their opponent is the First Army led by Yang Feng himself, subordinate to the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th Infantry Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but only the 1st Infantry Brigade and the 5th Brigade and the 1st Cavalry Brigade are really on the north bank, and the remaining 4th and 6th Infantry Brigades are on the south bank of the Qiantang River, mainly defending against the Qing Army from Zhuji, and the latest 8th and 9th infantry brigades are also being formed, but these two brigades cannot be counted on in a short period of time.
So in general, the current comparison of the strength of the Ming army and the Qing army is almost one to five, but the Ming army has really experienced the war only five brigades, the fifth, sixth, and seventh infantry brigades are newly formed, and the level of soldiers is limited to being able to reload, shoot, and can be used for defense, and the field battle is not guaranteed, and the vast majority of the Qing army can be called well-trained.
Of course, they are well trained......
That's it!
"How to deal with it?"
Yang Feng sneered and said, "Let's wait here for them to come to the door." ”
In fact, this has become the standard combat method of the Ming army, defending and counterattacking, relying on the city wall and strong firepower advantage, attracting the Qing army to attack, killing and wounding the Qing army's vital forces to the greatest extent, exhausting their morale, until they are exhausted, and even collapse themselves, and then the Ming army pursues and kills with all their might, killing them so much that they can easily push the territory that they are no longer able to defend.
This time, Yang Feng is not prepared to change tactics.
The only problem with this tactic was that the Qing army could turn the attack into a siege, that is, besiege but not attack, and use the time to run out of food in the city and starve to death, and then easily take it.
But this didn't work for Yang Feng, because behind Hangzhou was the Qiantang River, and the water was the world of the Ming army, and whatever Yang Feng wanted could be transported from the control area on the south bank, unless the Qing army had the ability to break through the defenses of the Ming army on the south bank. However, the terrain of eastern Zhejiang is the East Sea of the West Mountain, and if the Qing army wants to attack Ningshao and other places behind Hangzhou, it must break through the defense line of the Ming army's outer mountainous areas. In fact, the previous battle had proved that the Qing army was not capable of capturing any fortresses controlled by the Ming army, and the Ming army's fortresses on the periphery of Ningshao also relied on waterways for supply, so the Qing army also had no ability to cut off the supply of the Ming army in this area.
All in all, as before, nothing has changed.
If the Qing army wants to destroy the Ming army, it can only use human lives to pile it up, as before.
"Dashuai, let's give them some color to see, at least we can't lose the momentum!"
Gao Huai instigated.
Obviously, the generals of the Ming army also did not take the Qing army in their eyes, after all, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops did not open the small Dinghai, and now Yabu's troops are not more than at the beginning, and Hangzhou City is not a small Dinghai.
"What you say makes sense, let's let the people know that the 200,000 army is a fart, as long as we want, we can beat Kang Mazi as much as we want, and slap him as much as we want!"
Yang Feng nodded and said.
"What do you mean, Dashuai?"
Gao Huai asked.
"You let me think about it first."
Yang Feng had a wise expression like a thinker there.
"Commander, the British have arrived in Changguo, and they have brought you your mount!"
That's when a guard came in to report.
