Chapter 668: Inspecting the New Army

What is the purpose and significance of education, to open up the wisdom of the people. But in this era, these four words will not be recognized by the upper echelons of the entire society. In this era, reading people is a kind of identity and symbol, ordinary people just do your business honestly, it doesn't matter if you read or not, let alone open a girls' school, don't even think about it.

Should this education be conducted? What to do? In fact, Chen Xie is already doing it, and he started doing it in Dengzhou, no matter how poor or low, as long as it is your doll in Zhangjiazhuang, you have to go to school obediently. The school run of that meeting is relatively simple, and it has persisted for more than ten years, and it is true that this school is now getting bigger and bigger, and the external impact is only in the rich and prosperous land of Denglai Erzhou.

How to put it, it's hard to promote. It was only in Liaodong and Dayuan that this phenomenon improved significantly. The territory is Chen Xie's, and you can toss it as much as you want. The government has made it mandatory for boys over the age of eight to go to school and receive three years of compulsory education. But it is only in Liaodong and Dayuan, and there is Xinghai City. In Liaodong, dolls are punished very harshly if they do not go to school, forcing peasant workers to send their children to school. But in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not work.

What should I do? It's still the old way, to carry out a pilot, and in the richest Jiangnan, first find a prefecture to demonstrate. Three or five years later, it will be extended to the whole of Jiangnan, and this is the best result. Chen Xie's choice is Songjiang Mansion, how much can you learn in three years of compulsory education? Literacy, numeracy, enough. For this goal, Ruan Dacheng, a dog-legged man, worked hard before and after the saddle, and got a promise, the compulsory education is done well, he is the governor of Jiangnan, and he can't even compare to the political secretary.

In order to be promoted, Ruan Dacheng really worked hard. He traveled to every village in Songjiang Province and supervised the construction of local schools. Counting, this is already the third year, Chen Xie feels that the time is almost ripe, and in three years, Songjiang Mansion has cultivated the first batch of dolls for compulsory education, and they all have a certain cultural foundation. Learn anything fast. The rapid development of Jiangnan industry will undoubtedly benefit from compulsory education in the future.

This thing is fine, but there is still a problem. In the era of monarchical centralization, it was a routine, that is, the monarchy was granted by God, and the common people had to be ruled by stupid fools. Now you play this, it is incorrect on the call of the political zhì. If you are in the system, if you can't be consistent with the above, it's really not fun at all.

Do you want to continue to do this? Want! And to do your best! An industrial fire has been lit. You have to get the wood ready, or the fire won't burn. Traditional craftsmen play with experience, although they all have unique skills, but for industrialization, these unique skills are of little use. What Chen Xie wants is assembly-line education, mass production.

As for what kind of education, it is actually an excuse made by lazy people. Human society. Elite education will always be the mainstream, unless humanity dies out. Otherwise it won't change. Now, since the reform, China has been able to industrialize in just a few decades, and the biggest dependence is nothing else, but the compulsory education system and industrial workers built in the Taizu era. Without these two bottoms, hehe, do you think industrialization is just a mouthful of words? There are not enough science students and skilled workers. What do you do with industrialization? Or to say a little higher, what to take to achieve the four modernizations?

Therefore, Chen Xie was not on the same channel as the people around him, and when others were still hesitating about his idea of army reform, his thoughts had already flown to another dimension. As for the question of the army. Even if Chen Xie hands over the army now, who can help him? Who can command those armies? To put it bluntly, it is necessary to train a new batch of military talents, and when this generation goes down, it is possible to change the generation of talents.

Chen Xie woke up early in the morning, and woke up Zhu Yujiao as soon as he moved, holding his neck with a pair of pink arms and not letting him move, and whispered in his mouth: "It's still early, sleep for a while." Chen Xie said in a low voice: "You go to sleep, I'll get up by myself." "Zhu Yujiao, who tossed a lot last night, can continue to sleep, but Chunhong, the maid outside, can't sleep anymore, and when she hears the movement, she immediately comes in to serve.

Chen Xie, who is accustomed to this kind of life, is at the mercy of Chunhong and a few maids, the division of labor in this house is very fine, and there must be eight maids around Zhu Yujiao at least, so it is still relatively frugal. Dressed neatly, came out to freshen up, moved around the yard, came back and had breakfast ready, and ate a big bowl of shrimp-stuffed dumplings, then changed into formal clothes and went out.

It was already dawning, Chen Xie's carriage appeared outside the palace gate, and Zhu Cihong, who had made an appointment yesterday, went to the new army early in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the door, the eunuch inside came out to salute and said, "Grandpa, your majesty has already gotten up." ”

The emperor naturally hugged him when he went out on patrol, but Zhu Cihong didn't like this, so he told Chen Xie that it was good to follow the light car and bring about a dozen people each. That's it, Zhu Cihong wanted to go out on horseback, but was stopped by the eunuch Lao Zhou, it's okay to take a carriage, it's risky to ride a horse, what if you fall off.

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to give up, the carriage came out, and when he saw Chen Xie waiting outside, he immediately waved from the window. Chen Xie stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will open the way in front." Zhu Cihong said: "Brother-in-law, let's take the carriage together." Chen Xie shook his head and said: "Without this rule, Your Majesty should not embarrass the ministers." ”

Chen Xie opened the road with more than ten guards in front, followed by Zhu Cihong's guards, and when the group came to the gate of the city that had just been opened, they saw five hundred cavalry waiting outside, and He Xian personally led the team to escort them. Zhu Cihong complained from the car window: "Didn't you say that it was easy to follow the car?" Chen Xie smiled and said: "That's not good, no one can afford to have an accident, Your Majesty or don't embarrass your subordinates." ”

In fact, this was already very excessive, and he didn't bring a single Wenchen, so Chen Xie took the guards and 500 cavalry to protect him, and went out of the city to Fengtai, where the camp of the new army was located. The roads in the area of Jingshi are well repaired, the carriage runs very briskly on the cement road, the sound of the horses' hooves in Tata Tower is very brittle, Zhu Cihong is not quiet again, and asks again: "Brother-in-law, when can I take the train?" ”

"Your Majesty can't answer this question, just today's matter, you have to be impeached by the imperial history when you turn around, saying that the body of ten thousand gold should not be moved lightly, it is not the subordinates who are bewitched, and Your Majesty will not be lightly out of the Beijing Division." Chen Xie replied with a smile, and Zhu Cihong crooked his mouth and said: "A group of rotten Confucians, ignore them." ”

It's a bit funny to say, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, are all fierce people who play pro-conquest when they have nothing to do. Battlefield battles are common things, and their descendants are actually confined to the Beijing Division by Wenchen, which is really laughable to say. The most fun thing is Wu Zong, who often plays hide and seek with Wenchen. Once he took a group of people to the grassland to fight a big battle, and there were more than 100,000 people on both sides, but only a dozen people were killed and wounded under Wenchen's pen. Therefore, Wenchen Zhen Nyima is not a thing, relying on the pen in his hand, he is trying to blacken the people they don't like.

What is a good emperor, the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty will tell you that the emperor who stays in the Forbidden City and gives birth to children with peace of mind is a good emperor. The world is handed over to Wenchen, and the emperor should play the role of a breeding pig with peace of mind, and don't care about this and that. Normal children have a rebellious period, let alone the emperor. To put it mildly, these emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were more perverted than the other, and they were all forced out by Wenchen, and many of them were recorded in written records that water with milk was sold as milk.

There is one thing that Chen Xie and Zhu Cihong are more consistent, that is, they regard the big truths that Wenchen said as farts.

The group didn't walk too fast, when approaching Fengtai, it took almost an hour, at this time there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, the team stopped, Chen Xie took the guards and cavalry to meet him, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the comer, and said in his heart: In the end, you are also a member of Wenchen, and the way is different.

Riding a fast horse to chase it out, it was naturally the three cabinet ministers, Yang, Lu, Hong, and Zhou Yanru wanted to come, they were too old to ride a horse, and they had to hang up if they fell down. Jiang Fengyuan wanted to come, but unfortunately he couldn't ride a horse, and he was chasing in a carriage behind. These three are okay, but they haven't had a career in the capital for a few days, and today's rush to chase them has also given them enough bumps.

"Your Majesty is out of the city, how can it be so simple?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything unpleasant, and came forward to greet him.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Why bother to mobilize the people? Could it be that in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I am still worried about being ambushed? Besides, with these 500 iron cavalry guards, who can hurt me? Fengtai camp is not far away, a little movement is coming in an instant. ”

Hong Chengchou and Yang Tinglin then came up, and after saluting, they said, "Your Majesty, don't be like this in the future." The two of them said in unison, and Zhu Cihong smiled: "That's what I mean, why be so nervous?" Isn't it Fengtai Daying? Since we're here, let's go on the road together. Zhu Cihong's attitude was very resolute, and the three of them didn't talk nonsense anymore. It's mainly for Chen Xie's face, otherwise it can annoy people to death.

Chen Xie left the three of them in the Chinese army, let them bother Zhu Cihong, and took the guards to go first. The convoy arrived close to the gate of the camp, heard the sound of the trumpet, everyone was accustomed to the rules of the new army's salute, the convoy stopped for a while, the battalion ran out of the two teams of infantry, shouting the trumpet one, two-one, lined up on both sides of the road outside the camp gate, in the sound of the password, one hand crossed the chest, the other hand held the gun, neatly shouted: "Salute!" ”

The carriage passed through this stretch of road, and the new army, which was completely different from the ordinary Ming army in terms of clothing and equipment, gave people a bright feeling when they appeared in front of everyone. At least that's what Zhu Cihong thinks, these people are not veterans of the Dengzhou battalion, they are the good family of the eighth-level Beizhili, there are more than 20,000 people in total. This will be welcomed, and it must be a ceremony arranged by Chen Xie.
