Since the founding of the Great Chen Dynasty, Chen Kefu has attached great importance to education. Long before the resumption of Chen, when Chen Kefu was still in Liaodong, he had already begun to set up a martial arts hall to train officers and outstanding soldiers of the Liaodong Army in rotation.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Kefu began to systematically restore the education system in various places. In the new education system of the Chen Dynasty, it was divided into two relatively independent systems, civil and military. Among them, the martial arts department is specially designed for the training system of officers, from the Yingyang Reserve Military Academy at the most basic level distributed in various provinces, to the three royal non-commissioned officer schools set up in the three major capitals, as well as the two royal naval schools in the Liaodong Peninsula and the Shandong Peninsula, as well as the military academies of the highest level of the Army-Breaking Lecture Hall set up in Luoyang, which has become a professional institution for the training and further study of officers of the entire Dachen army.

In addition to these military schools that specialized in training officers for the army, the Chen Dynasty had the most hierarchical ordinary schools.

A, Bao, Li, County, Prefecture, Province. The new Dachen law stipulates that each guarantee must have a Mongolian school, each li must set up a primary school, each county must set up a county school, each prefecture set up a school and each province will open the top academy. In addition to the public schools of the imperial court, in addition to public schools, private schools can also be opened, from Mongolian to academies, as long as private people have qualifications.

In order to promote education and civilize the people, Chen Kefu even ordered that Mongolian school and primary school are six-year compulsory education, and all expenses are borne by the imperial court, and every child must also receive six years of education.

After graduating from primary school, students can choose by themselves, those who pass the grades can enter the county school, and those who fail to pass can enter the private school or continue to study in the primary school, and after passing the qualification, they can enter the county school. And some of the students who show off in the county school can also get the supply of Lu rice rewarded by the imperial court. Graduates of county schools or students with good grades can participate in the county examination of the imperial examination, and those who are admitted are Tongsheng, and Tongsheng is supplied with rice from the imperial court.

Only those who become children can go on to government schools, and those who do not become children can continue their studies in private schools after graduation. Students of the government school can participate in the government examination, and the middle one is Xiucai. Students who have graduated from Fuxue can choose to continue their studies in the academy of the province, or they can choose to maintain the Guozijian and Taixue in the capital. Or other private colleges, or go home to study. All Xiucai had a supply of rice until they were thirty years old.

Talents can participate in the imperial examination every three years, and those who pass the township examination are the lifters, and they can enter Beijing to participate in the second year's examination. Those who pass the examination are jinshi, and they can directly enter the imperial court official selection system and become officials. Compared to the military academy system, this system is more complex. The system promoted by Chen Kefu is basically an expanded semi-universal education, and it is not just an education system for officials in the imperial examination.

Although the imperial court needs to invest a lot in this way, for Chen Kefu, education is the foundation of the country, and a group of ignorant people, although in line with the policy of fooling the people as some courtiers say, is not a good thing. In Chen Kefu's view, the enlightenment of the people's wisdom can actually help dismantle the privileged class of the clan lords since the Wei and Jin dynasties. It can also produce higher productivity.

Chen Kefu's idea is very good, after all, he was not the first to vigorously promote school education in history. Although Yang Jian had banned all schools in the country in his later years, and only kept one school in the capital, as soon as Yang Guang came to power, he once set up schools in various prefectures and counties, and during the Song and Yuan dynasties, this kind of universal education was also popularized, and when Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. Schools at all levels are vigorously promoting, and there is not much difference between the books and what Chen Kefu is doing now, and the only difference is only the difference in the content of education.

Da Chen vigorously promotes education. After five or six years, we have almost entered a good start. In addition, the literacy classes held by teachers from schools around the country now allow nearly one-third of the people in Dachen to write their own names. …,

However, after the enlightenment of the people, the people gradually have their own understanding and opinions on many things. For example, now, the imperial court wants to fight to the death with the Turks, recruit millions of soldiers, and fight a decisive battle against the country. The imperial court recruited soldiers on a large scale, and one of the three healthy men in several books was recruited. If such a thing had been placed more than ten years ago, it would definitely have triggered a great peasant uprising in the seventh year of the Great Cause at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

But now, the contents of the countless reports handed to Chen Kefu before the case are completely different. After countless enthusiastic young military academy reserve officers asked to be drafted into the army, the students of prefectures and counties could not sit still. At first, it was only the older school students who had already become young who petitioned to join the army, but later on, the matter eventually became more and more out of control, and countless students began to ask to join the army. Not only the school students who have become Ding, but also the county school students who have not yet become Ding, who are just fifteen or sixteen years old, also ran to petition.

Under the lively leadership of the students, many residents of towns and towns, farmers in nearby villages, carrying kitchen knives, pig killing knives, bamboo guns, wooden guns, wooden sticks, and holding pot lids, poured into the original recruitment points everywhere to ask for enlistment.

The lively situation in various places made the officials of the local government feel a little caught off guard. Especially after the government army, township soldiers, and militia groups in various places have been mobilized, and only a small number of arresters and government servants are generally left in the county, they are even more worried that the people will eventually make a civil revolt when they gather.

Fortunately, after a few years, the government offices in Dachen have basically completed the replacement of officials. Most of the officials were carefully selected by the imperial court, and they were not worried about the faint people coming to them.

Qingyuan County is under the Longshan Mountain in the south of Taiyuan City in Hedong, and the small county town is close to Fenyang, which is the barrier acropolis in the south of Taiyuan City, an important town in Hedong. Because His Majesty the Emperor is stationed in the Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan, there is a battalion of 500 Yulin guards and horses stationed in Qingyuan County, because it is close to Taiyuan, although Qingyuan County is in the middle of Hedong, it is not far from the front line of this war. The last time the Eastern Turks Shibi Khan went south, the people of Qingyuan City had experienced the fierceness of the Turks at close range. On that occasion, a group of Turkic cavalry took advantage of the night to go south, bypassing Taiyuan and plundering several villages in Qinghe, when Li Yuan was in the nearby city of Taiyuan, but did not send troops to rescue, and many Qingyuan people saw many familiar compatriots fall under the sabers of the Turks.

Now that the Turks are gathering again and preparing to go south, the most worrying people are actually the people of Hedong who are not far from Yanmen Pass. His Majesty the Emperor wants to hold the Yanmen Gate and fight a decisive battle against the Turks, and there is no one happier than these people in Hedong. Everyone knows the ferocity of the Turks, and once the Turks go south, they will be the first to suffer. In the past few days, the emperor has continued to recruit village soldiers and militia groups to drive to Yanmen Pass, and those people who have been conscripted are not only not sad, but very happy.

For the people of Qingyuan County, Qingyuan is a very fertile and rich place, and the people of Hedong are frugal and simple. The life of the people in Qingyuan has always been good. However, in the ninth year of the Great Cause, the emperor first prepared for the Northern Expedition to the Turks, and a large number of people from Hedong were conscripted to serve. Immediately after the Turks went south, countless Turks were taken captive everywhere, but no one in the court could control them, and the people all suffered.

Immediately after the emperor died, many ministers and generals of the imperial court led hundreds of thousands of troops to tear and kill near Taiyuan several times, and in the end it was the people of Hedong who suffered. Finally, the Li family took control of Hedong. But not long after, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi rose up against the Li family again, and General Chen of Hebei sent troops into Hedong, and several forces fought against each other, never stopping, and the rich Hedong became a scorched land in a blink of an eye.

In Qingyuan County, in the past few years, those who died died, those who fled, and the rest was less than thirty percent. In the blink of an eye, the Li family was defeated, and Hedong fell into the hands of the newly enthroned Emperor Chen. Everyone stayed in fear. As a result, I unexpectedly lived a stable and good life for a few years. In recent years, immigrants. After returning to his hometown, Qingyuan County gradually returned to the good scene of a few years ago. …,

There are no rebels, no bandits, no horse thieves, and even those corrupt officials are gone, that is, the high-ranking clans in the past have either moved away, or they have split up the family and live honestly.

The fields were divided. The land was divided, and even the grain was divided, and it was a few years later. The burned house was built again, the rice warehouse in the house was full again, and there were even a lot of dragon treasures. Everywhere the tax law was promulgated, the people found that now there are fewer land taxes, fewer miscellaneous taxes, and fewer levies for forced labor. And the great Chen law decree issued by the imperial court, as well as those who let children go to school compulsorily, all made the people of Qingyuan feel as if they had changed the day.

Even many of the husbands and children who were conscripted into the army at the beginning also sent back a lot of Shenlong Tongbao on schedule, and a few who became officers even sent back Shenlong gold coins to their families. Many of the family members who had been conscripted into the army in the early years were now organized into the government army, and the imperial court not only divided a large amount of land, but also told them that these lands were fields that did not need to pay taxes.

All of this has already made these simple and frugal people of Hedong Qingyuan feel that His Majesty the Emperor of Dachen is really a good emperor.

But now, the Turks want to snatch them away? The people of Qingyuan who have just lived a good life for a few years, who is willing to follow? The people are pure servants, even if the original master that Chen Kefu gave the people should not be the right they should enjoy, but the people are still extremely grateful. But the people are also simple, whether it is given by the emperor or which one gives, since these things are already theirs, they are theirs, and no one wants to snatch them.

As soon as the emperor's conscription order was issued, none of the government army, township soldiers, militia soldiers and reserve soldiers in Qingyuan County hesitated, and all of them immediately assembled and reported to Yanmen Pass.

The performance of the soldiers in Qingyuan County made Qingyuan County, who was in charge of assisting in the recruitment affairs, very happy, but before he could relax and take a breath, he found that more Qinghe people immediately rushed to the assembly point and asked to enlist.

Qingyuan County Order is the second imperial examination of Dachen last year, although it did not win the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua such a ranking, but it is also a second hundred Jinshi. Moreover, he is only in his early twenties, and he has studied in the new school opened by the imperial court for two years, and he can be regarded as a young, talented and ambitious official, and has received a new education.

Unlike those officials who are mostly from the world, the young Qingyuan County official Ma Wen is just a child of the Shu clan with dozens of acres of land at home, and if it is still the Sui Dynasty, it will be difficult for him to make any great achievements in the officialdom. But now it is Da Chen, who has been studying in the government school for two years, and has listened to a lot of court policies and the like, and has gradually been inspired by the young emperor and the young ministers in the court, and he has become an official who has made a difference. Therefore, when he was released by the officials this year as the commander of Qingyuan County near Taiyuan City, the capital of Hedong Province, he was not unhappy in the slightest.

In the past six months, in the face of the territory of Liu Wuzhou's rebels not far from the north at that time, he was not half afraid, and everything he did in Qingyuan for half a year was orderly and remarkable, that is, he won the attention of the governor Sun Guo's uncle, and also won the support of the people of Qingyuan. He can definitely go up to one and a half levels. But the more so. The more serious he is, the more he is afraid that something will go wrong.

At this time, when he saw the countless people who asked to join the army in front of the black crow and crow, he was happy and worried in his heart. The people under his rule enthusiastically asked to join the army, which naturally had his educational skills, but the fact that they were all coming to join the army like this now also caught him off guard. If the people are not satisfied and something happens, there will be His Majesty the Emperor living in the city of Taiyuan behind here. …,

Marven is young and young. But his mind is also very lively, and in the face of this crowd of almost all the men in Qingyuan, he almost understands it in his heart. The people are so enthusiastic, in fact, it is only one of them to protect their homeland. As for the second, of course, everyone now knows that Da Chen's soldiers are well paid, so everyone wants to rush to become a soldier. But the imperial court has always implemented the policy of elite soldiers, and the number of government troops is limited, so it is not something that can be done if you want to.

When the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, or the soldiers of Li Yuan or Liu Wuzhou in the past, everyone avoided them. After all, to be a soldier is to die when you fight. And when I used to be a soldier, it was all compulsory. Not only did they have to bring their own weapons, but the imperial court did not pay salaries, and even did not even have a pension for those who died in battle. What makes everyone even more reluctant to be a soldier is that few people can come back if they go. Even if they come back, they are basically the kind of people who are lucky to be able to return home with missing arms and legs, and most of the rest are buried in other places.

But being a soldier of Da Chen is different, and the soldiers of Chen's army are all trained for a long time. And the equipment is the most sophisticated, and with excellent equipment, there is an extra life on the battlefield. Moreover, Da Chen's army has always won many battles and defeated few battles. The fighters have a high survival rate. What makes everyone yearn for more is the generous treatment of Chen Jun's officers and soldiers, including settling-in allowance for enlistment, transfer fee for discharge, salary for soldiering, allowance for injury, and bereavement pension for war death. Not only that, after a few years of being a soldier, it is possible to turn into a government army, and once you become a government army, it will be a blessing for the family. There are a lot of Yongye fields in the government army, and these are not taxed. In addition to preparing weapons and serving in the army in wartime, several books are quite cost-effective.

What's more, there is also a very important point, that is, His Majesty the Emperor is also the world from the horse, so he treats the martial artists the most. Not only are almost all military generals in the DPRK and China occupying the majority and important positions, but also many officials in the provinces, capitals and counties, and most of them are occupied by retired officers.

And compared with the difficulty of studying every year, from Mongolian school, primary school, county school, government school, and imperial examination, and finally to fight for a jinshi, choose an official, or finally take the examination for a civil servant to become a civil servant, for more people who have already passed the age of re-studying, but are not willing to be like this, enlisting in the army is the last way out.

As long as you dare to fight and fight, you may be able to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and as long as you have enough military merits, you can become an officer, and even if you are disabled on the battlefield in the future, you can change jobs and return to become a clerk or an idle petty official. And if you are lucky, maybe you can go to a military academy for further study, and then make some contributions, maybe you can become a high-grade official. This kind of thing, for countless ordinary people who have been born with mud legs for eight generations, this is the best way to change themselves and the entire family. Even if this road has to fight with their lives, everyone will never regret it.

"Your Majesty has a decree, this time only the township soldiers and militia groups are recruited, and the conscription is over, so let's go back to our respective homes. Not going to the front line to fight, producing more food in the rear, and fighting a few more knives is also a support for the imperial court! Marven swallowed his saliva, and in the face of the crowd of passionate and enthusiastic hundreds of people, he had to shout loudly.

A stout man who was long and stocky, but could tell from his young face that he was no more than a strong young man of fourteen or fifteen years of age, with a hunting bow on his shoulder, a hunting fork in his hand, and a dagger pinned to his waist. In the autumn of October, he wore only a pair of straw sandals with bare toes and a bearskin with his arms exposed. The juvenile prey has always been crowded at the front, and although there are many people, no one can squeeze him out.

At the boy's feet there was a thin yellow dog with pointed ears and fangs guarding the boy's feet, and if anyone squeezed over, he would bark at the person, making people shudder. …,

The young man stood in front of Marven like an iron pillar, one hand carefully guarding an old hunter with a gray beard on crutches.

As soon as Marven's words fell, he saw the old Orion coughing loudly a few times, and after attracting everyone's attention, the old Orion looked at Marven with an old face and said, "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say that the army is one million, and the country will fight?" But the old man knows that although the emperor has recruited 200,000 township soldiers and 200,000 militia groups, plus the 24 guards of the imperial court and the 100,000 barbarian soldiers of Liaodong, it is only 800,000. This is still 200,000 short of 1 million, this Turkic people are going south, is it to destroy our China and repeat the tragedy of the Five Hu Chaohua? This is not only related to the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, but also to every one of us Han people. 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. The old man remembered that this was what His Majesty the Emperor had said, and the old man agreed very much. Now that the 400,000-strong Turkic army is about to go south, how can we, as horsemen, sit idly by? The old decay is just a mere puppet, but he also has the heart to kill Hu, and I ask the county magistrate for permission! ”

Marven looked at this gray-haired old Orion who was bent over and coughing incessantly with a somewhat embarrassed face, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he didn't have to wait until he went to the battlefield to be killed by the Turks, as if the password was to blow this old man down with a gust of autumn wind.

"The uncle is patriotic and righteous, and his words are deafening and sobering, so that the younger generation is deeply taught. However, when the imperial court recruits soldiers, everything has the laws of the imperial court, and I am deeply aware of the county decree, and I should abide by His Majesty's will, how can I change the will of the imperial court and Your Majesty privately? And the old uncle is old, this age is just the right time to feed at home, and it is a sin to make fun of grandchildren, if the old man is allowed to go to the battlefield at this age, isn't this our sin? ”

The old hunter coughed violently again, and shouted dissatisfiedly at the county order: "Am I so old? Didn't Da Chen's law order say that Sergeant Da Chen retired at the age of fifty-five? I'm only fifty-four years old this year, and I'm just in time to enlist in the army and have a good fight with the Turks. Don't look at the old man's waist is a little hunched, a few days ago I hunted a black bear weighing more than 300 pounds. No matter how good the Turkic wolf cub is, can he still cow more than 300 catties of bear blind? ”

Marven looked at the old man who had to look like he was in his seventies, but he insisted that he was only fifty-four, and his face was full of crying and laughing. He was just about to speak, but the young man on the side suddenly said: "I can divide two oxen with both hands, I can chase wild wolves by running in the mountains, climbing cliffs is like walking on flat ground, and an arrow can hit the eyes of eagles in the sky, I want to join the army, can you accept it?" ”

Marven was a little shocked by the young man's words, and he looked carefully at the young man's open chest in bear skin, and the muscles that were raised were even more amazing than many adult men. But it is a little hard to believe that the teenager claims to be an expert for two years, can run in the mountains and race from the wild wolves in the forest, and even climbs the rock repeatedly, and can shoot an arrow into the eyes of an eagle in the sky.

He smiled slightly and asked the young man, "I think you are at most fifteen years old, but you are not yet the age of a young man, little brother, what is your name?" ”

The young man was not satisfied with Marven's reaction, and said with an old look: "Going to the battlefield is fighting for your life, and it is more than killing the enemy, not about age." Fighting the Turks, my family's Ah Huang is compared to two strong men, as long as you give me a dagger, I can return you a Turkic head! ”

"But it's still too small. Going to the battlefield at this age is a manifestation of our failure to take responsibility. Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, as long as you really have this ability, it will not be too late to sign up for the army in a few years. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the group, everyone turned their heads to look, but only to see a few sergeants wearing the armor of the Yulin Army walking towards this side, the first one was also dressed in the same Yulin Army, but the two epaulettes on the shoulders of the armor made everyone who was already familiar with the army understand that this man who always had a cordiality on his face and a sense of majesty was a major officer of the Yulin Army.

The young man turned his head and looked up and down at the major officer of the Yulin Army who was dressed in gorgeous armor, bit his lip and said, "Do you dare to fight with me, if I win, you will let me enlist?" You are an officer of the Yulin Army, and you will definitely be able to do it. ”

An officer with the rank of second lieutenant next to the major officer was just about to speak, but the major officer had already held down the second lieutenant and said with a smile: "Lei Teamzheng, are you still afraid that I can't beat a child?" After speaking, he turned his head to the young man and said, "Are you sure you really want to compare with me?" ”

"That's right!"
