Not to mention, Zhu Biao and his entourage really met his daughter-in-law in the department store, and then, both groups of people took the same bus and went to the fresh food area again, and saw strange sea fish.

Then, Zhu Jingjing, the crown princess and others went back to the county government first, while Zhu Biao and Zhang Yifan went to the Qianhu Office.

On the way, Fang Xiaoru said with some emotion: "Xia Guan knows, why is there vitality here in Xiangshan County, it should be that the horse is full of expectations for life, so each of them is so angry, it makes people feel that they are full of vitality!" ”

Zhu Biao listened, turned his head, looked at him, nodded appreciatively and said: "Yes, Lone also thinks so, it seems that every Xiangshan person is full of energy, which makes people look very gratifying!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, looked at Zhang Yifan and said, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed what you saw here in Xiangshan County!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he said modestly: "Actually, this is still the credit of my father." The common people used to live under the rule of the former Yuan, which can be described as dire and miserable, and tasted the hardships of the world. Thanks to his father, the emperor rose up, expelled the Tatars, and restored China, which not only brought them peace, but also brought them hope, and they will naturally cherish it! ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he laughed.

This brother-in-law's mouth is really sweet, but it's a pity that his father is not there!

However, Fang Xiaoru looked pensive, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Talking and chatting, Xiangshan County is not big, and soon it will be to the side of the Thousand Households.

The thousands of households in Xiangshan County are also built of cement and enclosed by walls, covering a wide area.

Because there was no greeting in advance, there was no one to greet him at the door of the Thousand Households, and Zhu Biao was interested and did not let people pass it on.

Originally, I thought that the Qianhu Institute should be in full swing of training. However, to the surprise of Zhu Biao and others, the day here was quiet!

Even after Lan Yu saw it, he couldn't help but ask, "What about people?" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, smiled and replied: "At this time, it should be when they are in cultural class, they are all in class!" ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What?" What cultural lessons? ”

It's not that he can't understand what Zhang Yifan said, but the matter of military reading and literacy is beyond his cognition, and soldiers still need to read and write? Many generals are illiterate, okay!

Zhang Yifan didn't explain, but pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

When Zhu Biao saw it, he didn't ask anymore, so he walked forward according to Zhang Yifan's guidance.

At this time, he suddenly found that the outer wall of the barracks house was painted with lines of words everywhere.

What "to protect the family and defend the country", "soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty", and all kinds of military discipline and the like.

This barracks is different from the barracks that Zhu Biao has seen before, even the barracks of those famous generals, and I feel that there is more of a cultural atmosphere.

After walking for a while and approaching a few barracks, I saw that the soldiers in the camp were all holding a sand table and writing there!

They didn't go in to disturb, but just looked outside for a while, and found that most of the soldiers were very serious.

So, Zhu Biao asked Zhang Yifan curiously: "What do you think about teaching them to read and write?" ”

When the others heard this, they were also curious, and they all looked at Zhang Yifan, waiting for him to answer.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he replied: "Xiangshan County is a national compulsory military service system, that is, every young person of school age has the obligation to be a soldier, and the conscription system is adopted. After reaching the age limit, they can choose to leave the army and return to their hometowns. If you only learn how to kill enemies in the barracks, you may not have any skills when you return home. And if they can read and write in the barracks, it will also be of great help to them when they return to their hometowns. ”

Lan Yu heard it and interjected, "You're thinking too much!" These soldiers are fighting wars, and they are afraid of death if they know more, so they must choose those who are easy to manage. ”

Of course, he is a military general, and if he says this from his own position, it cannot be said that he is wrong.

However, when Zhang Yifan heard this, he turned his head to look at him and said: "Not necessarily, if they can read and write, they will be able to understand reason." In other aspects, it is difficult to say, in case the war is unfavorable, they can understand the reason better, and the resilience will be much stronger than the soldiers who don't know anything! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "In addition, their subjective initiative is definitely stronger than that of soldiers who don't know anything. For example, in some wars, when they lose contact with the coach, they may be able to understand the coach's intentions and make the right choice, instead of panicking, and they don't know what to do without the coach! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yifan saw that Lan Yu seemed to want to open his mouth to refute, so he added: "Of course, I am also a family. You can believe it or not, anyway, I'm here in the Special Zone, I can try anything, if it's really as I thought, then the combat power of our Ming army will be even stronger. ”

In fact, he said these things with a basis, but his basis is in the future life, and there is no way to say it.

Of course, Zhang Yifan has actually considered the difference between ancient and modern.

For ancient times, it was basically a large army battle, so the requirements for integrity were higher. In later generations, the number of combat units was not a level compared to the ancient wars. Even a small force can have a significant impact on the outcome of a war. At this time, it is even more important to emphasize individual agency.

But Zhang Yifan also believes that with him, the popularization of firearms in the Ming army will definitely be accelerated, and at that time, it will not fight with the previous large corps, but can be divided into smaller combat units.

When Lan Yu heard what he said at the end, she didn't dwell on it anymore, but just asked, "Where is Wubeitang?" The last general wants to see the martial arts! ”

Zhang Yifan listened, and pointed with his hand, not far ahead.

So, the group walked to the side of the martial arts hall.

Zhu Biao said as he walked: "Yifan, you have a lot of ideas, practice hard, and let them compare to know if it's better." Or in this way, after I go back, I will show my father and let them go to Beijing to have a competition, so that my father can also meet him. ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was immediately happy, and immediately answered: "Big brother, this is what you said!" ”

If there is this incentive, I believe that these soldiers will learn more carefully.

When Zhu Biao saw it, he replied with a smile: "This matter depends on what my father thinks, I will definitely say it." ”

As they spoke, they quickly came to the place where the martial arts hall was.

The soldiers here also studied in the barracks.

Zhu Liangzu, the head of the sect who did not show up before, as well as Qianhu Qi Xiang and others, are all here.

That Zhu Liangzu used to be Yongjiahou, and Zhu Biao still knew him, but at this time, Zhu Biao asked in surprise: "Isn't he the head of the sect?" What is he studying? ”

Fang Xiaoru also saw it, and immediately replied, "Yesterday, the lower official saw this symbol and asked, saying that it was a number!" ”

That's right, now they're in math class.

Although Zhu Biao listened to Fang Xiaoru's words, he still turned his head to look at Zhang Yifan, waiting for him to explain a thing or two.

Zhang Yifan replied with a smile: "It's numbers, it's simple and easy to remember, and they're learning some arithmetic now, which will be very useful for them to march and fight." ”

When Lan Yu heard this, he immediately asked, "I heard, can this still be regarded as the accuracy of artillery?" ”

As a general in the army, he naturally knows how much impact artillery can have if it is used well. Especially when I heard Zhu Biao say that the horse invented a powerful artillery, I know how much impact artillery will have on the war.

Therefore, the accuracy of the artillery is the key, and he had heard that the Xiangshan County Wubeitang had a secret in this regard, so he wanted to come and take a look.

At this time, when Zhang Yifan heard Lan Yu's question, he turned his head to look at him, nodded and said, "It can't be accurate now, it can only be very different." ”

When he said this, he saw Lan Yu's very serious appearance, thinking of this famous general who was also a Ming Dynasty, so he explained to him: "First of all, you can use the crosshair on the artillery, the door and the target, and use the three points and one line to aim and correct the direction. Secondly, the approximate distance can be estimated using the thumb ranging method, and then the firing can be corrected according to the predetermined artillery parameters. Of course, you can also use a watch rod to measure the distance, it will be more accurate, the thumb distance measurement method is a temporary emergency, but more training can also improve the accuracy......"

The Ming Dynasty has a history of nearly three hundred years, especially with the emergence of Xiyi, artillery technology began to flourish, and the corresponding aiming technology naturally rose.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was actually a more standardized ranging method in the army, that is, the rod ranging, and the calculation method was measured by the Pythagorean oblique chord.

At this time, listening to Zhang Yifan talking eloquently, everyone and others, including Lan Yu, who thought he was very good at fighting, were all stunned. Let them have a feeling that what Zhang Yifan said about artillery ranging is really powerful, and it will definitely work, because they feel very knowledgeable when they listen to it.

In fact, don't talk about them, Zhu Liangzu's ability to lead troops to fight is only strong and not weak, and when he heard Zhang Yifan's story, he was also confused.

The reason why he obediently studied mathematics there was because Zhang Yifan shocked him.

The people of Wubeitang, including Zhu Liangzu, did not have any foundation, so they needed to have some time to learn the most basic mathematics.

At this time, the movement outside finally alarmed the people inside, and Qi Xiang and Zhu Liangzu both came out to see the situation.

The two of them, of course, know Zhu Biao. There was no notice in advance, and suddenly when they saw Zhu Biao there, they were all stunned.

After coming to their senses, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Especially Zhu Liangzu, he was still very frightened and excited in his heart.

His identity at this time was actually a thief with the army, and it was Zhang Yifan who promoted him to be the head of the sect. The crown prince is the future emperor, the one who decides his fate.

I suddenly saw Zhu Biao in Wubeitang, and the relationship with the concubine was so good that I couldn't see it with my eyes.

In other words, if the colt turns around and wants to say something nice to him, the impact will definitely be very great.

He was thinking about it, when he heard the horse say to them with a smile: "You have to practice hard, and in the future, maybe you will have the opportunity to go to the Jingshi and compete with the elite over there." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be speechless, and he said it before he was sure! Is this a duck to the shelf? But the decision is on the father's side!

However, although he thought so, he was probably sure that his father must be interested, otherwise, he would not have mentioned this matter to Zhang Yifan at all.

And Zhu Liangzu was even more excited when he heard Zhang Yifan's words. If he does it well, that's his chance to turn around. Those bunny cubs, you must practice hard!

At this time, Zhang Yifan explained to Qi Xiang and Zhu Liangzu: "Your Highness is rare to come once, so you can show Your Highness the situation of teaching in the Wubei Hall!" ”

The opportunity to perform in front of the prince must not be missed.

Zhu Liangzu and Qi Xiang immediately agreed, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Zhang Yifan, on his side, accompanied Zhu Biao to Dianjiangtai and began to watch the drills on the side of the Wubeitang.

Needless to say, the students of the Wubei Hall were all excited when they heard that the concubine accompanied the prince to come to review.

Prince, I actually went to Xiangshan County, and I still have to review them, that is, I want to show the best results to the death.

I practiced until noon, and then I had a result.

Zhu Biao is not a person without eyesight, the elite of the Beijing Division, and he has seen it a lot. As long as you compare, you can naturally know what the strength of Wubeitang's side is!

There is also Lan Yu, he has more eyesight than Zhu Biao, and he also has an accurate estimate of the real combat power of Xiangshan County.

To be honest, the students of the Wubei Hall are still much worse than the guards of the Son of Heaven. At least the fierce spirit that came out of the battle on the battlefield is not visible.

A soldier who has never been on the battlefield is always just a new recruit.

However, whether it is Zhu Biao or Lan Yu, they have to admit that these Wubeitang students, under the training of Zhu Liangzu and Qi Xiang, can not only skillfully demonstrate the Mandarin Duck Formation, but also in the simulated battle, the tactics are flexible, and the split of the Mandarin Duck Formation is very natural. The commander-in-chief's instructions are given, and the captains of each team can understand and implement them well.

Unfortunately, there is no artillery on the Mubeido side. However, they also showed the prince the application of thumb distance measurement and rod ranging.

In short, Zhu Biao and Lan Yu did see some things from this army that other armies did not have.

Zhu Biao did not eat in the army, and before leaving, he told Qi Xiang and Zhu Liangzu that they should listen to the words of the horse and continue to practice.

The soldiers of the Thousand Households Institute naturally already knew that the prince was coming, and they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their training was even more energetic.

In such a remote place in Xiangshan County, because of the reason for the horses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come, which is very important.

You must train well, and you must not disgrace the colt!

Of course, they were all in the barracks, although they knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down, but because of the military regulations, they couldn't go out, and the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to Xiangshan County did not spread.

Zhang Yifan, on his side, accompanied Zhu Biao and others back to the county office, and after having a meal, he went to visit Qianzhuang in the afternoon.

The second day of the itinerary is to visit the cement factory and salt pans;

On the third day, the fish floss workshop and the fishing fleet camp were held;

On the fourth day, it was the settlement of pirates on Qi'ao Island;

On the fifth day, I went out of Xiangshan County and rode a horse to run around the boundary of Xiangshan.

After such a few days, Zhu Biao has a real overall grasp of Xiangshan County.
