Yang Chengying is compiling the most basic literacy textbooks in his study.

He was in Zhenyu City for a few months, teaching those old men and students to read and write, and found a serious problem.

The literacy rate is surprisingly low!

Liaodong is a place of frequent wars and disasters, resulting in a general lack of cultural people.

Those who are proficient in academic research are even more difficult to find.

Speaking of literacy, this gave Yang Chengying a general direction in his heart.

That is to borrow "pinyin", starting from the most basic, step by step to learn the Analects and the Book of Poetry.

Such a step-by-step process, the same as math.

Wu Sangui returned, with the joy of completing the task.

"So happy to have completed the mission?" Yang Chengying asked.

"Hmm. Yang Shuai, then what kind of Gonggong Ji and Master Huo dare not be disrespectful to me. ”

"Guess why they didn't punish you for your 'disrespect'?"

Yang Chengying put down the brush and asked with interest.

"What else can there be, of course, I'm afraid that I will end up with the same fate as the brocade guards who bullied Mo Mazi before."

Wu Sangui said casually.

Yang Chengying didn't pick up the stubble, poured some ink into the inkstone, and was about to reach out to grind the grinding strip, Wu Sangui hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the grinding strip, stood by the table, and grinded obediently.

Who would have thought that such a teenager would be a notorious rebel in the future.

"Yang Shuai, it's not right that his subordinates said it." Wu Sangui asked timidly.

"I didn't say, 'You're not right,' but you're only a fraction right." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Wu Sangui thought for a while, and then said: "Of course, the main thing is that Jinzhou Town is strong, and I dare not let people underestimate it." ”

Burst~

Yang Chengying couldn't help but smile.

"Do you know how many soldiers I have in Jinzhou Town?" Yang Chengying asked rhetorically.

"My uncle once said to his subordinates that it was about 12,000 people."

"That's right, twelve thousand five hundred and thirty-four." After Yang Chengying finished speaking, he asked Wu Sangui again: "Do you know how many soldiers there are in Jianyu?" ”

"At least thirty or forty thousand."

Wu Sangui didn't understand these things, and casually said a set of numbers.

"Full strength of 60,000, this does not include his cannon fodder soldiers, Ming army soldiers, and Mongols."

Yang Chengying said: "Even if you are often dissatisfied with the staff, it is no problem for the soldiers under his command to maintain sixty or seventy thousand all year round. ”

"Oh." Wu Sangui didn't have the slightest concept of relevance, and nodded blindly.

"Do you know how many soldiers there are in the Ming Dynasty?" Yang Chengying asked again.

"What about millions?"

In Wu Sangui's memory, he escaped all the way from Liaoxi, and there were routs everywhere.

At that time, the Wu family and the ancestral family formed an alliance. With the strength outside, the old and weak, women and children inside, without particularly valuable assets, even the food and drink are hidden deeply, for fear of being robbed by the hungry mad Ming army.

In this way, I walked for several days, until I met the people who followed Xiong Jingluo and moved into the pass.

Following these people, they fled into Shanhaiguan in a hurry.

Then, I saw many soldiers with low morale and untidy armor, running to Shanhaiguan to defend against the slave soldiers.

Can these soldiers defend against slave soldiers?

The two families didn't believe it, so they thought of coming to Jinzhou Town.

"You see, both of them have more soldiers than me, and I don't even have as many soldiers as a tribal alliance in Mongolia. Why can't they help me? ”

Yang Cheng should be kind and persuasive.

"Yang Shuai occupies the city of Zhenyu so that the enemy cannot go south, and occupies an important trading port, so that the big men in the capital can throw a mouse."

Zu Tianshou once mentioned these things to Wu Sangui, and the answer was very simple.

"It's still only part of the story."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "The most important thing is to learn to borrow 'momentum'. This 'potential' is very knowledgeable. ”

"Please advise Yang Shuai." Wu Sangui's eyes twinkled with stars.

"No need to advise, you can see how I operate when the time comes, and you will understand."

"Huh? When? ”

"I'll remind you when the time comes."

"Well, thank you Yang Shuai."

After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he lowered his head and grinded seriously.

After Yang Chengying looked at him deeply, he picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and continued to compile the book.

It is often said that a person is most easily shaped during his or her adolescence to young adulthood.

Yang Chengying hopes that by his own efforts, this future "wall grass" can return to the right track in time.

Speaking of which, there is one thing that should have a great impact on Wu Sangui.

During the change of Yisi in history, the Chongzhen platform summoned Yuan Chonghuan, and along with Yuan Chonghuan into the capital, there were Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu.

Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned and directly scared away Zu Dashou and the other three. In order to recover them, Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong also used a bit of a "Water Margin Liangshan" temperament.

I don't think that will happen again.

Thinking that I will enter Beijing is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Yang Chengying thought to himself, how many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital are eager to eat me alive because I make less money.

He shook his head and continued to make up the book in earnest.

At this time, Wu Sangui suddenly remembered something, "Yang Shuai, when his subordinates left, I heard that it seemed that a little eunuch accidentally bumped into Gonggong Ji and was beaten up by that thing that was neither male nor female. ”

"Oh?" Yang Chengying stopped his pen, "The enemy of our enemy is our friend." ”

"What Yang Shuai means is...... Find that little eunuch? ”

"Clever."

"My subordinates are willing to go."

"You're still young and inexperienced, and I'll have someone take you to complete this."

After Yang Chengying finished speaking, he tapped the jade on the pen holder a few times with the barrel of the brush, making a tinkling sound.

Geng Zhongming heard the sound and entered: "Yang Shuai." ”

"I have something to give you, let Wu Sangui tell you the specific content, and you can take him to experience it."

Yang Chengying said in his words: "If you can't even teach him well, you will only be worthy of being a personal guard by my side in the future." ”

"The last will understand." Geng Zhongming understood and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Go ahead." Yang Chengying turned his head and told Wu Sangui, "Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, follow along." ”

"Yes." Wu Sangui bowed and retreated.

The two walked out of the study and saw a person standing under the corridor, Gongsun Sheng.

"Brother Geng, he seems to be earlier than you, why is he still a personal guard?"

Wu Sangui despised Gongsun Sheng a little at this time, feeling that he was still a personal guard, and he didn't even have many errands to send out, which showed that he was not of great use.

Geng Zhongming said: "Guards? You're really young. Let me tell you, you and I are actually not real guards, we all stay by our side to investigate, and in the future let them go out to take charge of themselves or handle a certain matter independently. ”

"Then ...... him"

He is Yang Shuai's henchman and holds the core secrets. Yes, I can have a secret meeting with Mr. Ning and Mr. Fan and say something that even I know. ”

These words really shocked the young Wu Sangui.

Geng Zhongming saw the shock that his words brought to Wu Sangui, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yang Shuai will not be unscrupulous to his own people, as for the enemy, it is not considered." ”

"Well, I remember."

Wu Sangui took a deep breath and caught up with Geng Zhongming, who was walking in front.
