Chapter 19 Salt Warehouse Base

"These books are like books from the sky, I flipped through them, I don't understand them at all, we are really frogs at the bottom of the well."

"Yes, I've heard people say that there are sinology and orchid studies in this study, and I wonder what orchid studies can be on a par with sinology, and now that I think about it, the world is so big, and the knowledge is so deep, we must not be arrogant."

The hall was full of people, and everyone had a very heated discussion. Yang Zaitian ate two hard cakes just now, and his brain cells were supplied with sugar, and his thinking became much more agile. He thought, if he enters the Ming Dynasty to study, it will become a student of the Ming Dynasty, which is a good thing.

However, he pinched the last silver dollar in his sleeve pocket, and looked at the people around him hesitantly, and the scholars next to him all muttered to each other, but kept their distance from him.

Yang Zaitian saw that no one paid attention to it, so he timidly walked to Bai Yi, bent down deeply, and asked Guozixue if he charged tuition, what was the cost of food and accommodation during the period, and whether there was also anointing fire silver to receive.

Bai Yi smiled and comforted, "All the students who enter the country for further study are the proud sons of my Ming Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty should treat them as a national soldier." Our Guozi School adopts a supply system, and the fees are free of charge, and a full set of clothes and bedding are distributed when entering the school, and there is a monthly allowance to receive. ”

Ha, not only does Shangguozixue not charge a penny, but there is also money to receive, how can there be such a good thing! Bai Yi's words made Yang Zaitian excited, and he was the first to sign up.

Hu Renpei snorted in his nostrils, this poor cuo also grabbed the first one, and he sat there with a big golden knife, very disdainful. After the enthusiastic exchange, everyone also followed one by one to sign up.

The sun in the sky had already set in the west, and a charcoal gas car was parked in the open space outside the north gate of the reception station, and the scholars were led into the car one by one after signing up.

In the reception hall, Hu Renpei was left in the end, he was sitting and looking at Bai Yi, and arched his hand, "Dare to ask Lord Bai, this Ming Guozijian now has a few former Qingju people studying." ”

The four words "Qianqing Juren", Hu Renpei said very seriously, he was very angry in his heart, he came to serve, but he didn't expect this Ming to take the lifting of people inappropriately. The former Qing Juren is also a lifter, allowing himself to be classmates with Tong Sheng from scratch, how can this be!

"Not much, as of today, there are seven former Qing Ju people in Guozixue."

Bai Yi told Hu Renpei that Guozi School is divided into several classes, and the former Qing Dynasty's Juren, Xiucai, and Tongsheng will study together in different classes. He enlightened Hu Renpei that the Ming Dynasty's politics and study are separated, and there is no time to study in politics, and there is no strength to engage in politics in politics. Bai Yi expressed his belief that the level and quality of the former Qingju people are absolutely extraordinary, and they will definitely stand out in Guozixue and become the leader of the first training class of Guozixue. If you are interested in politics and have been trained for several years, you will not know what to do.

Bai Yi's few words of flattery made Hu Renpei feel very useful, he signed up with a little reserve, and wanted to go back with his entourage.

"Mr. Hu, don't be busy?" Bai Yi stopped him, "Your servant is not a student, he can't follow him into the country." ”

"Why?"

"Guozixue is the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, can you imagine that after the teacher finished the lecture, the little guy and the elder came to bring water to the students, handed snacks, wiped sweat and fanned the wind, if so, is it still a school?" Bai Yi admonished Hu Renpei that he must learn the ability to live, improve his knowledge and life skills in all aspects, and be able to handle political affairs so that he will not be deceived by the local inferior gentry.

After settling his entourage, Hu Renpei got into the gas car.

"Hurry up, Wang Erzhu!" Seeing the driver getting out of the cab in a hurry, some reception station staff hurriedly urged the driver.

Driver Wang Erzhu has been learning to drive for several months. In the new barracks on Mingxing Island, Wang Erzhu's military training grades in all aspects were very average, although he had attended Mongolian school and knew a lot of words, he was not selected to enter the officer crash training class to study, and in the end he was only selected to learn to drive a car. However, in terms of car cāo, Wang Erzhu really has a spirit, and after learning to open for a month, he let go solo, and now his skills are quite skilled.

The car was brought over from the 21st century, but with a modified gas generator and gas instead of gasoline for power. It is constructed by installing a boiler about two meters long and about one meter in diameter in a large iron tank (self-welded with iron sheets) in the rear of the car, and there is a furnace straw made of pig iron in the tank, which is poured with coal and then tamped with an iron rod, and then ignited from the furnace door, and then the gas produced is transmitted to the modified gas engine.

"Panic what! It's high-tech work. Wang Erzhu grabbed the crank handle and shook it vigorously, and the engine of the gas-powered car made a rumbling sound.

The scholars in the car had long been told that the car was like Zhuge Kongming's Wooden Horse Ox Cart, and the foreigner's steamer, and they were only slightly alarmed.

The scholars discussed, first the projector, and then the car, and there were really a lot of strange skills of the Ming Dynasty.

Others say that the steam boom on the dock is also Karakuri.

"The big wild dragon is stinging, and the Central Plains deer is fat." Hu Renpei blurted out.

What poetry, what poetry! Everyone turned around and saw Hu Juren sitting there thoughtfully.

Hu Renpei has a lot of rizzles in Shanghai, and he has seen a lot of novelties, compared with the two, this Ming ingenuity is completely better than the Xiyi people, I think the Xiyi Ying card people won the Opium War by these miracles, and now he is full of expectations for the study of Guozixue.

The charcoal truck went all the way west, bypassing Xiaofeng Ridge, and drove to the salt warehouse base, which faces water on three sides and sea on one. Two heavily armed sentries stood on either side of the base gate, wearing shiny steel helmets and a dazzling cold light on the spears.

The driver drove across the concrete bridge over the river, slowed down slowly, and gently honked his horn. The javelin-like sentry immediately waved his hand, "Quick, get aside!" ”

The driver was a little baffled, as soon as he parked the car on the side of the road, there was a sound of footsteps inside the base gate, and a long line came straight to the camp gate.

"Uh, how could I forget!" Wang Erzhu patted his head, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the recruit training camp conducted a 20-kilometer cross-country training, and after dinner, he had to drive to the containment and sweep the tail.

Chen Yu carried a quilt bag, a camouflage cap, a camouflage uniform, combat boots, a yellow satchel and a military kettle, and an armed belt around his waist, and a revolver on the left and right sides of the armed belt.

It was Bai Baoxiang's arrangement for the army unit and the recruit company to pull at the same time.

After half a month of intensive training for 2,000 recruits, Chen Yu wanted to conduct a forced march to observe the effect of the training. However, going out of the camp to train this was a relatively large troop operation, and Chen Yu could not do it on his own, and it had to be approved, so Chen Yu reported the forced march plan to the Military Commission.

The Taiwan campaign is imminent, and the army units urgently need to be expanded, and Bai Baoxiang is naturally very supportive when he receives Chen Yu's report. For the sake of safety, he sent the second and third companies of Shui Wuxian to be responsible for the forward search and the rear guard, and also sent 50 non-commissioned officers and students from the army's accelerated training class to the recruit training camp.

These 50 army non-commissioned officers and cadets have undergone more than three months of intensive study, and in addition to studying the upper and primary courses, they have also learned military knowledge, such as infantry cāodian, shè striking instruction, splitting and stabbing instruction, fortification teaching, body teaching, army internal affairs, in-battle service orders, field service orders, tactics, surveying and mapping, and other accelerated teaching materials.

After all, only 300 of the 2,000 people were prisoners of the Qing army, and they had a little understanding of the march, and the remaining 1,500 were peasants who had just put down their hoes, and 200 were from the Qingpu Knife Society. But Chen Yu was very unhappy with the army being the forward and rear guard for herself, and thought that the Military Commission did not trust her, so as soon as she set off, she rushed to the front of the army in a huff.

Wang Erzhu saw Chen Yu from a distance, and was so frightened that he quickly jumped out of the cab. The two sentinels on the left and right stood up and saluted together with Wang Erzhu, but Chen Yu didn't pay attention to it at all, she rushed directly to the camp gate, and then flashed to the side of the road, with a tiger face, looking at Longshan Leopard and Zhang Yuba walking over with the second company with a majestic and high-spirited attitude.

"Hurry, keep up, keep in formation, don't fall behind, whoever he nǎinǎi falls behind, I'll kick him to death!"

Hearing Chen Yu's roar, the heavily armed recruits immediately trotted up, and two thousand pairs of powerful feet "kicked" on the ground, making a sound like a heavy drum.

This situation made these readers sitting in the car feel a little nervous in their hearts. They all held their breath and didn't dare to squeak.

Seeing that the team drove out of the camp gate and headed west in the direction of Cen Gang, Wang Erzhu restarted the car, and the sentry waved his hand to let it go.

When you enter the gate, you will see a huge propaganda poster printed on an engraving of a soldier dressed like a sentry, holding a steel spear with a spear in one hand and pointing to your nose with the other.

"Huaxia needs you!" The scholars in the car all silently read the words on the drawing, and no one spoke.

The salt warehouse base is surrounded by a small boxy river, and on the inside of the small river is an avenue that surrounds the base. On both sides of the road, there are sets of carved propaganda posters, showing the fighting image of the Ming army. Energetic and high-spirited soldiers and officers were armed with bayonet rifles, ships or cannonballs, while officers were armed with command knives or short spears to show the way forward, with many slogans and slogans on them.

The car first took Hu Renpei and others to the quarantine camp in the westernmost part of the base to be cleaned up.

According to the relevant regulations, newly admitted students must first tidy up their personal hygiene, occasionally watch movies to brainwash, and familiarize themselves with the life of the training class. After three days of sanitation and rectification, systematic brainwashing education will be carried out, and then classes will be arranged to enter the formal learning stage.

The quarantine camp facing the water on all sides is a permanent brick structure. On both sides of the suspension bridge to enter and exit the quarantine camp are placards reading "Strengthen health and quarantine" and "Protect good health".

Wu Sheng took his subordinates and lined up at the side of the suspension bridge to greet him with a smile.

Because the objects of quarantine are all scholars, Wu Sheng expressed himself quite modestly, "Welcome, welcome gentlemen to our place for health quarantine." ”

According to the roster, Hu Renpei is a former Qingju person who was arranged to be a temporary captain during the three days of quarantine.

Liu Yu from the health team first took out some pictures to explain in detail the importance of health quarantine. He specifically pointed out that Da Sima led the army back from the expedition, and all the soldiers were all here to clean up.

"Da Sima?" Hu Renpei's voice is particularly high-pitched. He was very suspicious that Da Sima's officials of what grade would also come here to clean up.

Liu Kui glanced at Hu Renpei and raised his voice, "Sanitation and cleaning is related to the safety of everyone's lives, and Lord Shangshuwang, the Metropolitan Governor and Military Department, naturally wants to lead by example." ”

Seeing the eloquent words of the so-called Tai Hospital, Hu Renpei and others could only come and go, go through haircuts, sulfur baths, quarantine, and finally change into black sè stand-up student uniforms.
