Zhao Dang read the words on the ground again, and then said cautiously: "Then Brother Cheng, I'll just say it!" ”

"What's this nonsense? Let you say, you say! Cheng Niu's face is more gloomy.

Zhao Dare asked hesitantly, "Brother Cheng!" Then I'll really say it. “

Looking at Zhao Kang's cautious look, Cheng Niu was also a little weak-hearted. But people can't be upset, Cheng Niu pretended not to care, and said, "Say it! What word did I write wrong? To tell the truth, I won't be angry. ”

Zhao Dang looked at Cheng Niu's face, and plucked up the courage to reply: "It's not one word, it's three that are wrong." ”

The people watching the excitement were silent at first, and then burst into a deafening laughter, Cheng Niu immediately became angry, and he yelled at Zhao Dang: "You kid has only been learning to read for a few days? Do you recognize a few words? I still know what is right and wrong! Okay, my old Cheng is also tired and wants to go back to the house to rest. Scattered! It's scattered! After he finished speaking, he was going to wipe the words on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and prepared to destroy the corpse.

But how could Hu Niutou on the side let Cheng Niu pass the test easily, he immediately grabbed Cheng Niu and said, "Don't! Let's learn about it. Which brother went into the house and took out his literacy book and looked at it, and then he would understand? ”

Seeing Cheng Niu struggling to break free, those soldiers became even more energetic. Several people surrounded Cheng Niu to prevent him from getting close to the words on the ground, and one person ran towards the barracks.

After a while, the man who went to the barracks took the literacy book, and everyone compared it word by word, and when they found a typo, they let out a burst of laughter. When I arrived at zuihou, no more, no less, just three wrong words.

Cheng Niu's face turned the color of pig liver, but as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately wanted to change the topic: "It's good to dare to be a son!" Literacy is not yet a month. I've learned a lot of words. Tell Brother Cheng, how many words have you learned in the literacy book? ”

The curiosity of the onlookers also rose, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Zhao Kang's answer.

"I've pretty much learned it." Zhao Dare replied

"Huh?" Everyone looked incredulous. Because there are 500 words in the literacy book of the Runing Army. This Zhao Dare was able to learn in less than a month, and this thing is a bit mysterious.

Hu Weitou also asked: "Have you really learned everything?" ”

But before Zhao dared to answer, Cheng Niu immediately came forward and said, "What? Not convinced? Brother Dare is already smart, and I have to teach him, what's the big deal about learning to break the words like this? ”

"It's not a big deal." Hu Weitou immediately sneered at each other, "Big cowhide! I admit that the brother is smart. But what does his literacy have to do with you? At the level of your big cowhide? What about teaching? Think about whether you will pass the cultural assessment first! ”

That's when it happened. Their Meng Company Commander walked by with a red face, and when he saw Cheng Niu in the crowd, he immediately said happily: "Cheng Niu! Congratulations! This time you've jumped over the little dragon gate. It's just that the results of the cultural assessment are a little worse, but I interceded with the head of the regiment, so this time you were also admitted! ”

"Ahh Cheng Niu was immediately overjoyed. He shouted and hugged Company Commander Meng and said, "Company Commander." Xiexie is you! You're my brother! ”

"Treat! Treat! "Although I was still bickering just now. But Hu Weitou and they were still happy that Cheng Niu had passed the assessment.

"Don't do this!" Company Commander Meng struggled to break free of Cheng Niu's embrace, and his goosebumps were about to rise, "This time, there are three people in our company who have passed the assessment. I also asked the regimental commander that you all return to our company after you have completed the training of the teaching corps. Cheng! You don't have diarrhea there, if you don't behave well, you won't be able to get through. Let's see how I masturbate you! ”

In the Runing Army, officers also have the same assessment as soldiers, and one of the most important things is to see how many people in their own troops are transferred to the teaching corps and pro-soldier team. So this time, Lian Commander Meng himself will also have a lot of extra points.

Of course. The units also rushed to get the officers and non-commissioned officers assigned to the teaching corps and the pro-soldier corps. Therefore, it has become a common practice for each unit to transfer personnel back to its own units.

But Cheng Niu's face immediately became bitter, and he begged: "Company commander! I want to go to the cavalry! ”

"Dreaming!" Lian Chang Meng's face suddenly became stiff, "If you are called Cheng Ma, I will let you go." Since you have brought the word 'cow', then this life is also a life on the ground. ”

Then Lian Commander Meng gave Cheng Niu another date: "Do you want it?" If you don't know the place with the cavalry, when will you come out? It's better to go back to our old army. I promise you here that as long as you come back, after a year and a half, I will recommend you to go to Yueda Longmen. And who cares so much about you out there? ”

Since Lian Commander Meng has spoken to this extent, Cheng Niu is silent. Suddenly, he remembered something, and immediately pulled Zhao Dang over and recommended to Company Commander Meng: "Company Commander, you always know this daring." This kid is amazing! Within a month, I knew the words in the literacy book by eight or nine. ”

"Oh?" Company Commander Meng's eyes lit up suddenly, he saw the literacy book in the hands of the soldiers on the side, immediately took it and turned the page casually, and then read a sentence and said, "Zhao Kang, write down the words I just read." ”

Cheng Niu immediately handed the bamboo pole in his hand to Zhao Kang, and after Zhao Dang gave a military salute to Company Commander Meng, he took the bamboo pole and wrote this sentence on the ground.

Seeing Zhao Dang writing, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and finally endured until Zhao Dang finished writing, and Meng Lian Commander immediately looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha-!" I didn't expect God to send us a showman. ”

Then Company Commander Meng looked left and right, and immediately pointed at Hu Qiang's head and ordered: "Hu Qiang! You don't want to stay in the team all the time. Come out and train, and strive to jump a little dragon gate next time. Also, help me step up my practice of Zhao Kang, and I will also keep an eye on it, and strive to let him master all the 'attack and death' in the shortest possible time. haha！ I've got a treasure this time! When the time comes, I want to see the faces of Lao Yang and Lao Lu? ”

When recruiting pro-soldier troops, except for most of the non-commissioned officers who have reached the assessment scores, a small number of places will be left for the whole army and local recruitment every time. For such students, in addition to the necessary physical conditions, cultural assessment accounts for the majority. And this kind of cultural assessment is not the level of Cheng Niu's literacy class, at least it is equivalent to the language level of modern upper primary schools.

Of course, this kind of cadet also needs to be recommended by the commander of the army and the local gentry who have diplomatic relations with the Runing army. However, due to the influence of the noble and the lowly, people above the child level will not come to apply for the examination, so the difficulty of the cultural assessment is not much higher. Therefore, Company Commander Meng wanted to train Zhao Dang to participate in this kind of assessment.

Although the admission ratio of this kind of assessment is quite offset, and this kind of student has been training in the pro-soldier team for a much longer time, but after all, it is a leaping dragon gate, so such an opportunity will not be let go of by Company Commander Meng.

After returning to Runing Mansion, although Wu Shigong and his family lived comfortably every night, he was still busy with trivial affairs during the day. finally found a free time, Wu Shigong asked Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli to his house for a drink.

But after three rounds of drinking, the three of them still talked about official business very naturally.

Xue Yongli said: "Uncle! There is no doubt that this expansion is small. However, the cost of the Sailor and the Sailor Marine Corps was greater. With this silver, our Runing Army can still expand by two or three regiments, isn't it a bit of a waste? ”

Wu Shigong replied with a smile: "In our Ming Dynasty, the north is the world of cavalry, and the southern transportation of troops will rely on waterways. And the place where our Runing Army is staying is exactly the place where the north and the south meet. ”

"And our Runing Army now has two great enemies. Let's talk about the Shaanxi bandits in front of you first. They have activities in both our north and south regions. In the north, our Runing army fought very well this time, but in the south, we have to cross so many waterways, and our Runing army is a little powerless. ”

"And although our Runing Army has exterminated more than 50,000 Shaanxi bandits this time, most of them are old and weak, and they have not hurt the bones of the Shaanxi bandits at all. And the Shaanxi bandits are also quite cunning, they all place these old and weak behind them, and if something goes wrong, his main force will slip. ”

"If we have a marine unit of the Navy Division to reach the rear of the Shaanxi bandits by ship, then we will definitely achieve greater results, and it will be much less difficult for us to exterminate the Shaanxi bandits in the future. Therefore, I think that the number of marines is still too small, and it is better to have a regiment. ”

"Look at the Tartars again. Although the Tartars are far from us, sooner or later we will meet. Fighting against the Tartars, no matter how they fight, their cavalry has an advantage, although the firearms of our Runing army are fierce, at most they can repel the Tartars, and it must be very difficult to pursue and encircle them. ”

"Besides, the Tartars are not fools, and once or twice they may suffer in front of our firearms, and if they do so too many times, they will certainly find a way to deal with us. Therefore, the current sailors and marines are fighting in inland rivers, and in the future, I plan to let them run to the sea. ”

"If we pass through the sea route, in case the Tartars enter the customs again like the last time King Qin, we can find an opportunity to land by sea in Shandong, Tianjin and other places, so that the Marine Corps can intercept the retreat of the Tartars. And if our Runing army presses over again, we can get better results. Even our Runing army can send surprise troops directly to Liaodong's hometown to fight the Tartars, and surround Wei to save Zhao. ”

"But this topic is far away, let's cultivate the seeds of our sailors and sailors first! But no matter what, the role of our sailors will become greater and greater in the future, so we must also grit our teeth and make huge investments in the sailors and the sailor marine regiments. This is also the reason why I sent Zhang Rubao and them to Zheng Guerrilla at that time. ”

Hearing that Wu Shigong was no longer limited to the current battle situation, but in order to dominate the world in the future, Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli had no opinions. (To be continued......)
