"Zhengtong, I can do it...... Do you think that's okay? ”

Chen Dexing smiled and sat in the hall, just looking at the two friends who came from afar. The tea soup on the table has long since run out of heat.

There was silence in the room, and it was only after a while that Guo Fu'er broke the silence, "Second brother, Zhengtong and I are both students of Lin'an Martial Arts, and they are also disciples of the big officials, or your friends, or recommended by the big officials." Anyway, it's not worth the time and the dispatch is not worth much, and there are not many trustworthy soldiers in your artillery army, so let's arrange it. How can they be allowed to study with a bunch of vulgar warriors? ”

Chen Dexing ignored Guo Fu'er, and just shot his gaze at Huang Zhishen, a top student of Lin'an martial arts, who was holding a copy of "Naval Science" written by Chen Dexing on a night train, and reading it attentively. Of course, not in his own name, the art of war needs to be inherited and accumulated, and the art of war written by a young general in his early 20s who has never commanded a naval army will only be regarded as a joke. Therefore, Chen Dexing wrote this "Naval Science" that synthesized the maritime knowledge of later generations and some ancient and modern Western naval tactics in the name of others.

"Zhengtong, do you think this Western Regions Soldier Book is worth reading?"

Huang Zhishen closed the military book that still exuded the fragrance of ink, but he was silent for a long time. The nautical knowledge and tactics of naval warfare, including astrological positioning, spinnakers that can be steered against the wind, multi-layer paddle layouts, torsion stones, cast iron ramming, and the use of red-hot iron balls as arsons, were all unheard of by him, a martial arts student who was familiar with various military books.

Chen Dexing said lightly: "This military book was written by a certain family based on a translation of the Western Regions Military Book obtained from Fan Shang, and I think it is the essence of the law of naval warfare in the Western Regions. ”

Huang Zhishen raised his head and looked at Chen Dexing, as if he was a little surprised by the change in this former friend, "Don't be three days, you should be impressed!" Qingzhi, this sentence is really suitable for you. ”

Ren Yijiang, the Taoist priest on the side, frowned deeply, and seemed to have been thinking hard, "Qingzhi, are all the methods in this military book reliable?" It can't be that those people faked the copper coins, right? These merchants are the most cunning. ”

Chen Dexing just shook his head, "It's reliable or not, you won't know until you try." Now the torsion stone machine has been made, tried and available. As for multi-layer paddle ships and angle of attack ramming, they also have to be tried before they know if they are good or not. He looked at Daoist Ren with blazing eyes, and called the "famous" number, "I can, if everything said in this military book is feasible, are my brothers afraid that they will not have the qualifications for promotion?" ”

Daoist Ren nodded, "That's right...... Since this military book is from the Western Regions, then the Northern Captives will get it sooner or later, if my Great Song Dynasty does not use these methods first, let the Northern Captives take the lead, I am afraid that even the last bit of the best skills will be defeated by others. It's just that there are so many words in this military book? What is written? Do you want someone to translate it? ”

"That's a big food number, it's an arithmetic character of the Fanren, it's not difficult to understand, I've been teaching the generals of the artillery army to learn this these days, you should also learn it together." Chen Dexing strengthened his tone, "There are many places in this "Naval Studies" that need to use Fanren arithmetic, and there is no way to fight a war if you don't learn a little. ”

"Can't you use my Da Song's arithmetic?" Of course, the Taoist priest is a general arithmetic, otherwise how can he tell people hexagrams? Moreover, in addition to telling fortunes and reading feng shui, their Shenxiao faction can also make fireworks, so they can be regarded as chemists of this era.

"Then you have to learn the arithmetic of Fanren first, otherwise how to turn it into the arithmetic of my Great Song Dynasty?"

Of course, Chinese arithmetic is broad and profound, but Chen Dexing doesn't know much - he didn't learn it in his previous life, and he hasn't learned it in this life either—let alone turning the Western mathematics learned in later generations into Chinese arithmetic, and Chen Dexing is not interested in being a great mathematician in the Yuan Dynasty, but he also raised his hands in favor of the current aspiring mathematician.

"Reasonable...... Daoist Ren nodded, and suddenly asked, "You have to learn arithmetic to fight, this thing is really new, Qingzhi, how are your righteous brothers?" Can you learn it all? ”

Chen Dexing smiled, "It's only been a few days since I taught, and there are already seven or eight people who can recognize some big food numbers." ”

Chen Dexing's righteous brothers are naturally uneducated, at most they can read a basket of big characters and can write their own names. But if they really have some knowledge, they don't bother to serve in the army! Not only are most of the soldiers uneducated, but even the generals and generals who are in charge, and even the more senior generals and commanders are mostly vulgar. Of course, it is not so easy to teach these people some mathematics, but what is not easy does not mean that they do not work hard.

Chen Dexing picked up the tea soup that had been cold, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said: "My artillery army is not like ordinary infantry cavalry, as long as you are skilled in martial arts and disciplined, you can win all battles, and the artillery army is inseparable from learning." Therefore, I am ready to set up a military school in the artillery army to teach the generals to learn calligraphy, arithmetic, the art of war, and other knowledge. Zhengtong, I can do it, if you two don't think that this Suiying Martial Arts School Temple is small, you can be the first to teach in two months. ”

This teaching...... It is equivalent to an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy! The future is actually very big! And the small artillery army with the camp martial arts school is Chen Dexing's version of the Whampoa Military Academy! Chen Dexing prepared to pass the military academy to cultivate a group of "new-style soldiers" who were loyal to him and had mastered the knowledge of military science, which was incompatible with the rest of the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty. The best thing is that these soldiers leave Chen Dexing's system, and there is no way to show their strengths!

According to later generations, this is a matter of different standards.

Huang Zhishen and Ren Yijiang glanced at each other, and the military taught ...... This dispatch sounds fresh, but it's not unacceptable. Anyway, they are martial arts students, they don't have official positions, and all they can get is to do office work, write machines, and writing, and so on, and they are not far from teaching.

Ren Yijiang slapped the table, "Okay, I'll be a teacher." Anyway, my body is not strong, and I can't go into battle. ”

Huang Zhishen also nodded and said with a smile: "I have also listened to Dr. Chen's lectures for several years, and now I am just learning to teach others, maybe I can teach a famous general!" ”

Chen Dexing smiled, looked at the two of them and said: "Teaching is the duty of the two of them, and each of them has a part-time job to do office work. Zhengtong, your family is a businessman, you should be able to manage money and accounts, right? It's better to take care of the money and food of the artillery army. Taoist priest, I know that you can play with gunpowder, and it just so happens that the artillery army has another gunpowder to do, so it's up to you to take care of it. ”

Huang Zhishen and Ren Yijiang laughed heartily at this time, obviously treating the part-time job as their own job. Chen Dexing looked down and looked at the two former friends, "Zhengtong, I can do it, you have memorized it...... Teaching is the job! How far you can soar in the future is in the position of teacher. ”

Guo Fu'er saw this happy situation, grinned, and interjected: "Second brother, the business has been discussed, why don't you go to Qionghualou to eat at the bar, Zhengtong and I have come from afar to deliver letters for the big officials, and we should wash the dust for them." ”

Chen Dexing stood up, waved his hand and said, "It's better to wash the dust and eat and drink at night, now I'm going to class...... Zhengtong, I can do it, you can also come and listen, today is the first lesson you will listen to me. ”
