Chapter 542: The Tang Dynasty prepares for war
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson, next class!" Li Zhi cleaned up the books and chalk on the podium, and then said to the students below with a smile. At this time, the student immediately got up, bowed to Li Zhi and said, "Sir, go slowly!" ”
Li Zhi nodded to the students, and then left the classroom with their books, and it was only then that the students in the classroom began to relax, some naughty students laughed non-stop, and some went to the toilet to solve personal problems together.
Now Li Zhi has resigned from the handling work of the Hengbo Shipyard, because he has been a teacher in the factory school for a period of time, and every ten days, there will be teachers from the outside world to teach in the factory school, and Li Zhi has met many school teachers, and his knowledge is very solid, so many teachers have recommended him to apply for teachers after knowing Li Zhi's situation.
For this suggestion, Li Zhi thought about it, and immediately decided to follow the advice of others, quit the work in the factory, and then applied to be a teacher, not because he thought the work in the factory was too hard, but because he had been in the factory for more than a month, and the environment around him could not arouse Li Zhi's interest, so he wanted to change the environment.
For Li Zhi's approach, Li Su, who was busy dealing with the situation in Malacca at the time, did not object, and even he felt very happy, because according to his plan, he did not plan to let Li Zhi be a worker all the time, but would arrange someone to change him to another job, and now Li Zhi can rely on his own ability to take the initiative to find a job, which not only allows Li Zhi to save energy, but also proves that Li Zhi's own initiative is becoming stronger and stronger.
After Li Zhi was hired as a full-time teacher. He was awarded a formal teaching certificate by the Institute of Education, and then after a period of training. Li Zhi was assigned to work as a teacher in a small town thirty miles south of Keelung, surrounded by sugar cane plantations. Moreover, these sugarcane orchards are also the first batch of sugarcane orchards developed in Taiwan, so this town is also named Sugarcane Town, and there is a primary school in the town, which is also named Sugarcane Primary School, and Li Zhi is working as a Chinese teacher in this primary school.
Originally, based on Li Su's experience in later life, he wanted to set the primary school as six years, and the middle school was junior high school and high school, which was also six years, and then added four years of college. It was a total of 16 years of study, but his idea was unanimously opposed by the education institute, because they couldn't give so many things to the students to learn, so there were only four grades in elementary school, only three years in middle school, and three years in college.
Li Zhi now teaches third-grade Chinese, and the teachers in the primary school all follow the class. For example, if a student goes from the first grade to the fourth grade, the teacher who teaches him is the same, but the former third grade teacher of Sugarcane Elementary School has been transferred to another new elementary school as the principal because of his excellent work. That's why Li Zhi, the new teacher, took over.
"Hello Mr. Li! Teacher Li is so ......"
As Li Zhi walked down the corridor to his office, students who knew him greeted him from time to time, and Li Zhi smiled a little. He has been at the school for almost a month now. Among the dozen or so teachers in the school, except for him. All of them are middle-aged strides in their forties and fifties, so he, a young teacher who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, is naturally very eye-catching. In addition, he has an easy-going temperament and can play with the students, not as dull as other teachers, so he is quite popular in the school.
The whole sugarcane primary school is divided into four classes, of which the first and second grades are one class, the third grade is divided into two classes, and the fourth grade is temporarily vacant, because this primary school has only been established for three years, and the reason why the third grade is divided into two classes is mainly because the first year recruits students, and many older students also come to sign up, such as the class taught by Li Zhi, several of them are already fifteen or sixteen years old, almost the same age as Li Zhi, and this is one of the reasons why Li Zhi is popular with students, because in the eyes of students, This teacher is about the same age as the classmates around him, so he naturally has no fear of him.
Li Zhi went down the stairs to the first floor, and then returned to his office, their office is not big, usually two people share a room, for example, Li Zhi's office in addition to him, is also teaching third-grade Chinese Teacher Yu, this Teacher Yu is about fifty years old, used to be a gentleman in the private school, a little dark and thin, very rigid temperament, is very strict with students, at every turn to beat the student ruler, students behind his back call him Yu Yan Wang.
When Li Zhi pushed open the door with the textbook, he happened to see Teacher Yu with a straight face going out, and there was his class in the next class, so Li Zhi smiled and said casually: "Teacher Yu, you are going to class." ”
After hearing this, Teacher Yu glanced at Li Zhi, made a "hmm" sound in his nose, and said hello to Li Zhi, and then walked out of the office with the textbook. Regarding Teacher Yu's cold attitude, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Speaking of which, he and Mr. Yu are in the same office, and the relationship should be good, but he is too young, and his temperament naturally has the unique jump of young people, usually mingling with students, and sometimes taking students out to play. But Mr. Yu is an extremely old-fashioned person, and he doesn't look down on his education method at all, thinking that Li Zhi is misleading people's children, and as a result, he doesn't conspire with each other, and his attitude towards Li Zhi gradually becomes less friendly.
However, Li Zhi doesn't care much about this, he usually has to be polite, and he also realized one thing from Teacher Yu, that is, in this world, not everyone will like him, but in the past, as a prince, others only have awe of him, even if they really don't like themselves, they don't dare to show it.
After watching Teacher Yu leave, Li Su closed the door of the office, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one go.
But now when it was Li Zhi's turn to give lectures to others, he found that it was not easy to be a teacher, and he had to break his heart for the students' learning every day, and the lectures were like military training, one stop was half an hour, and the voice was too small to hear, and he couldn't stand his voice alone, especially when he met some naughty students, he had to bother to take care of it.
After drinking a few cups of tea in a row, Li Zhi felt that his throat felt better, and then he sat down and corrected the homework handed in by today's students, this morning he only had the first class, and the rest of the time was sufficient, when he finished correcting the homework, he found that there was still more than half an hour before eating, and he didn't have anything to go out after thinking about it, so Li Zhi simply picked up the newspaper next to him, and waited for the cafeteria to open while reading the news.
"Datang Preparations: The Sword Targets the Western Turks! 》
As soon as Li Zhi opened the newspaper, he saw such an explosive news on the front page of the Taiwan Daily, which has the largest circulation in Taiwan and the most complete information, during this time he had not contacted Li Su at all, so the news was relatively closed, and he could only get some information from the newspaper, but he didn't expect that the newspaper would break out such a news today, it is said that he left Datang for a short time, although the Western Turks were in civil strife, but they were also a strong opponent, if Datang really wanted to do something to the Western Turks, He should have prepared at least a year ago, but he hadn't heard of it at all?
With doubts in his heart, Li Han immediately read this report, and found that the news transmission of Taiwan Daily was still very fast, and the credibility was also very high, because they quoted some reports of Datang Daily ten days ago in the article, and Datang Daily has a semi-official nature and belongs to the mouthpiece of the imperial court, and their report will definitely not be false in this kind of matter.
Li Zhi analyzed the news revealed in the newspaper and concluded that his father might really want to make a move against the Western Turks, and the strategic goal this time was not just to defeat the Western Turks, but to prepare to pacify the Western Turks in a war, and completely wipe out the Turks, a strong opponent that had threatened the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
Speaking of the reason for the outbreak of this war, it was not actually a direct conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, but because of a small turtle.
The Western Turks' sphere of influence was mainly in the Western Regions, and even when they were at their strongest, their sphere of influence extended to the Shanxi region of later generations, and all the countries in the Western Regions had to obey the dispatch of the Western Turks.
However, the strength of the Western Turks has long passed, since the early years of Zhenguan, after the assassination of Tongye Hu Khan, the Western Turks have been in civil strife, and there is no peace in the country, but after nearly 20 years of war, coupled with the secret intervention of the Tang Dynasty, the situation in the Western Turks has become increasingly clear.
Now the Western Turks are mainly divided into two forces, the Southern Court and the Northern Court, among which the Ebi Sha Boluo Yehu Khan of the Southern Court built his teeth in Suihe Shuibei, with the support of the Tang Dynasty behind him. And the Yibi Lu Khan wants to build the west of the Ya Hao Mountain, called the North Garden, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it is gradually encroaching on the territory of the South Garden.
Because of the growing strength of the North Court, some forces that originally belonged to the South Court have fallen to the North Court, but because there is an extremely powerful Tang Dynasty behind the South Court, although these forces secretly collude with the North Court, they still maintain friendship with the Tang Dynasty on the surface, and some even pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
However, the back of the North Court of the Yi Vi Lu Khan is an ambitious person, he has long wanted to unify the Western Turks, but because of the Tang Dynasty's military might, he has not dared to do anything to the Tang Dynasty supported by the South Court, but this patience is also limited, with the repeated growth of the North Court's strength, Yi Bi Lu Khan finally couldn't help it, so he made a decision, but he didn't expect that it was this decision that brought destruction to him and the Western Turks.
