Three days later, under the vigorous promotion of Zhu Youzhen, the "Qinchuan College" was established in Qinwangzhuang. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Unlike primary schools, this middle school does not have a fixed school building, and classes are set in the most lively street market; there is no fixed student, who wants to listen to the lectures, they can listen to them casually, and there is no charge for private schools and seowon in this era.

And what makes the people most curious are the two teachers who teach, because they are both Fanbang people with high noses and deep eyes, curly hair and white skin. But these two people spoke Chinese extremely fluently, and King Qin, who was deeply loved by the people, personally attended the first class, who didn't want to watch this excitement, so as soon as they appeared on the street, they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

The first lecture was World Geography, taught by John Tong. John Tong spread out a map of the world on a wooden shelf used as a blackboard, starting with "the earth is round," then introducing the five continents and oceans, and finally talking about China's position in the world and the countries around China.

Most of the people were dumbfounded when they heard it, thinking it was absurd. Because since ancient times, the Chinese have believed that "the sky is round and the land is round", and China is located in the very center of the earth. Now this foreigner says that all the people in the world live on a big ball, and the people on the other side of the ball must have their heads down and fall down?

Only Zheng Sen and other sailors who have gone to sea, because they have experienced it first-hand, suddenly realized the concept of "earth". Some of them have been to Nanyang, such as Annam, Chenla, Siam, Champang, Sumatra, Java, Srivijaya, Boni and other places, as mentioned by John Tong, they have all been to it in person. At this time, it was confirmed from the map that China is not "Middle Earth", but only a part of the wider world.

Seeing that most of the people who listened to the lecture did not believe it, John Tang couldn't help but be a little depressed. In order to cheer him up and establish the prestige of the "Qinchuan Academy" among the people, Zhu Youzhen personally went into battle, holding a whip and preaching: "Fathers and elders, what Mr. John Tang said is true. This king will build many big ships in the future, and if any of you are interested and willing to go out to sea to see the world, you will eventually reach these places on the map. And this map is not complete, there are still many unknowns and gaps waiting to be filled. This king hopes that this person is a Ming person, not a Fanbang person. Which of you has such ambitions? ”

The people of Qin Wangzhuang have long been worshiped by Zhu Youzhen as a god, and as soon as he spoke, whether he could understand it or not, they all agreed with a bang. However, Zhu Youzhen can see that most people don't care about the outside world, they still care about the people and things around them. Only a few young students were moved by this fresh world and Zhu Youzhen's words, and their faces showed a look of concentration and yearning.

This point is also expected by Zhu Youzhen, because this "enlightenment" stage between ignorance and civilization is the most difficult, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even if only one person in a hundred people is inspired to think outside of his own circle of life, he will be considered successful.

The second class was World History, which was taught by Maldini. Zhu Youzhen was about to hear what he had to say about such a big topic, but he saw Maldini spreading out a painting on a wooden shelf. When everyone saw it, they exclaimed, "Isn't this King Qin's Chitose?" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at it and also admired Maldini. It turned out that this was actually an oil painting, and the person on it was himself. I saw that I was holding a sword in my hand, riding on a galloping horse, as if I was participating in a fierce battle, and my expression was lifelike.

Because Chinese Chinese painting is mainly freehand, the common people have never seen an oil painting that can be painted exactly like a real person, and they are all praised and envious at this time.

It was only then that Maldini began with oil paintings, and gradually moved on to Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, the "three masters" of the Renaissance, and then subtly moved on to the history of ancient Rome. This is much more clever than John Tong's **, and the audience was fascinated by it, and they still refused to disperse until noon.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the college had started classes smoothly, and the two missionaries quickly entered the role, so he quietly withdrew from the crowd. In his plan, Qinwangzhuang Primary School only teaches people literacy and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to meet the needs of daily life; This Qinchuan College should assume the responsibility of being a middle school and a university equivalent to that of the previous life, and cultivate a group of talents for China who will master the knowledge of modern science and technology.

In this college, world geography and world history are only the most basic, and in the future, mathematics, astronomy, physics, biology, Portuguese, English, architecture and other courses will be offered. These courses are not something that everyone is interested in and can learn, so Zhu Youzhen does not set up special classrooms, but teaches openly in the most lively markets, in order to select talents in a wider range.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen also organized a group of "compulsory" students, including Zheng Sen and his sailors, as well as some guys from the Yellow Sea Merchant Gang. The reason is also very simple, Zhu Youzhen needs them to learn Portuguese as soon as possible, and after he meets with the Portuguese Duke Joao, they can start trading with the Portuguese as soon as possible, and even build a navy with the assistance of the Portuguese.

When the Qinchuan Academy gave public lectures in the city with great fanfare, the "Qinbing Military Academy" was also secretly established on the same day. The principal is Qi Meifeng, which is also what Zhu Youzhen promised her a long time ago.

The first batch of trainees were officers of the regiment at or above the deputy company level, and they had already returned to Qinwangzhuang from Yanzhou. These officers have all participated in actual combat and have certain military qualities, but their shortcomings are also very conspicuous: they have a low level of education, they rely on experience and courage to fight wars, they are familiar with a relatively single type of military and equipment, and they have never encountered a real strong enemy.

At this level, it is not much of a problem to deal with the same half-hung thieves, and it is okay to sneak attack the Mongols, but to deal with the strong and well-organized Houjin army, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, not to mention the "modern" armies like the Dutch and the Spaniards.

Therefore, the task assigned by Zhu Youzhen to his concubine Qi Meifeng is also very heavy. First of all, it is necessary for the trainees to systematically study ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military works, especially "The Art of War", "Martial Arts" and "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", and explain the famous war examples of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Secondly, let each of them be familiar with all the arms of the Qin soldiers, even if he is not from that battalion now, he must have enough understanding. This is to make officers generalists, so that there can be someone to take them at any time when the officers are vacant; Second, it is aimed at enhancing the ability of various arms of the armed forces to coordinate operations.

The second is to explain to them in detail the combat characteristics of the Jurchens and the Japanese Kou, which Qi Meifeng has the right to speak more than anyone else. The study content also includes military geography, that is, the terrain of Liaodong, Denglai and other places, because sooner or later the Qin soldiers will have to go to this battlefield.

The key course of the military academy is wargame deduction, that is, everyone collectively discusses how to fight against Houjin on a certain battlefield and under certain circumstances.

In the first wargame deduction, Zhu Youzhen personally participated, and the content of the deduction was to assume that Houjin is now attacking again. The atmosphere of discussion among the officers was very warm, but most of them were confined to the offensive and defensive battles in the Ningyuan and Jinzhou areas. Zhu Youzhen took the opportunity to express his biggest concern: "If this king is the thief chief Emperor Taiji, and only uses a small number of troops as a suspicious soldier to feint Ningjin, but the main force detours through the Mongolian steppe, crosses the Yanshan Mountain and goes straight to the Beijing Division, how do you deal with it?" ”
