After watching the training, Su Yang did not leave in a hurry.

He noticed sharply that there was a musketeer who was still practicing alone after training.

"What's your name?"

Hearing this sudden sound, the musketeers were startled.

He turned his head to look, and his face turned pale with fright.

This person in front of him is a gentleman who is bigger than the general!

"My lord is above, my name is Wang Ergou!"

"Get up and speak! Don't be so scared, I just wanted to talk to you. ”

Su Yang smiled and reassured, and Wang Ergou got up tremblingly.

He glanced at the three generals behind Su Yang, and his legs and stomachs began to tremble.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang did not break it.

"Ergou, the training is over, why are you still here to train by yourself?"

"My lord, I ...... I'm stupid...... So a lot of the actions can't be remembered. ”

Wang Ergou replied honestly, "I don't want to drag down my companions, and I don't want to be driven away, so I will use the rest time to ......."

Hearing this, everyone understood it, and there was a touch of softness in their eyes when they looked at Wang Ergou.

This is a good soldier!

Su Yang smiled and nodded, "Then are you familiar with this firearm in your hand?" ”

"Familiar!" Wang Ergou's eyes lit up, blooming with a strange light, "I sleep with it in my arms at night, so I can't be more familiar with it." ”

"Okay, you can show me the content of the drill!" Su Yang ordered.

Wang Ergou didn't dare to refuse, and immediately cleared the chamber, filled the medicine, compacted, and lit the fire, a series of actions were done in one go, and Su Yang nodded again and again, full of praise.

"You're doing a great job, you're doing a great job!"

"It must have taken a lot of effort to get to this point in such a short period of time."

Hearing Su Yang's praise, Wang Ergou only felt as sweet as honey in his heart, and subconsciously grinned.

Su Yang smiled again and asked, "Ergou, do you know the structure of the parts inside this firebolt?"

Wang Ergou was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head with a red face.

"I ...... Know what it is......"

"But I ...... Illiterate! ”

If you are illiterate, it is naturally impossible to truly understand the structure of the firebolt, and you cannot explain the principle of the firebolt firing.

Su Yang was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he could understand it.

He forgot that most of the soldiers in the army couldn't even eat enough, so how could they have the money to study and learn calligraphy?

In other words, most of the officers and men in the army today are out-and-out illiterate, and they can't even read a few of the most basic big characters!

Well, such as the Wang Ergou in front of him, and the famous general Tan Yuan standing on the side!

It's not okay to be illiterate, Su Yang has high hopes for this musketeer, he hopes that this musketeer will become a real special firearms unit in the future, bringing a different brilliance to this era.

So, a thousand musketeers, it is necessary to be literate.

"Ergou, do you want to be literate?"

When Wang Ergou heard this, a terrifying light instantly bloomed in his eyes, but then this light gradually dimmed.

I saw him hesitantly speak: "I ...... I don't have any money and my brain is stupid, so I ......"

In Wang Ergou's impression, reading and learning calligraphy means paying money, but his family has no money, and he is so poor that he can't even eat, otherwise maybe he is also a talented man now.

"You don't have to pay for it, you can rest assured."

"Besides, who said you were stupid? You must be far more familiar with firearms than your companions! ”

"If you're stupid like this, there won't be any smart people among the thousand musketeers!"

Hearing Su Yang praise himself again, Wang Ergou laughed embarrassedly.

"If I don't pay the money, I definitely want to learn."

"Why do you want to be literate?"

"Because after I am literate, I can write letters to my family, and I don't have to spend money to find someone."

Hearing Ergou's simple words, Su Yang couldn't help but be a little moved.

He patted Wang Ergou on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue training.

Leaving the firearms training ground, Su Yang turned his head to look at Zhang Yu and the others.

"Are you all literate?"

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng nodded, they were naturally literate.

Only Tan Yuan's face was flushed, and he said hesitantly that he didn't know how to read.

Tan Yuan is bitter in his heart, he has followed his father since he was a child, and he has fought all his life, where can he have the kung fu to read and learn words!

But after he sat in the position of a senior general in the army, Tan Yuan gradually realized his shortcomings.

In terms of status and merit, he is not much different from Zhang Yuzhu Neng.

But because he is illiterate, he is not as important as Zhang Yuzhu to be used by King Yan, and he is a head lower than the two of them.

Su Yang noticed Tan Yuan's face, and then sighed.

"Do you want to be literate?"

"I ...... Think! ”

Tan Yuan suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth categorically.

He no longer wants to be despised and looked down upon because he is illiterate!

"I'm glad you have that kind of attitude."

"To be honest, no matter how brave you are in battle, you will only be a tiger general in your life, and you will not be able to become the commander of the three armies alone!"

"But Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are different, they are literate and read, so they are familiar with military affairs and understand the art of war, and they will definitely be famous generals and commanders of the three armies in the future!"

"Tan Yuan, do you understand where the gap is now?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yuzhu looked at each other, and always felt that Su Gongzi was sowing discord.

But Tan Yuan nodded fiercely and took the initiative to speak: "Master Su, I am willing to take you as a teacher, please teach me to read!"

Su Yang nodded, rarely refusing.

"Most of the officers and men in the army are illiterate people who can't read a single word."

"On the surface, it seems that literacy or non-literacy has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the army."

"But in fact, this is not the case, you can imagine that if Wang Ergou is literate, he can know more about the firecracker, even if there is a problem with the firecracker during the war, he can quickly replace and solve it, so as to continue to fight, instead of losing his combat power like this!"

"For example, the most ordinary soldiers, if they are literate, they will naturally have a deeper understanding of military orders, and they will not be in a fog, resulting in chaos."

"Therefore, if the three guards of Yanshan want to become an iron army, the biggest problem is not anything else, but literacy."

"The Three Guards are so illiterate that their development is restricted!"

After listening to Su Yang's heartfelt words, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng nodded silently.

They are veteran generals in the army, and they don't understand the importance of literacy.

But if you want to make all these illiterate people literate, then this is simply impossible!

After all, there are so many people, even if there are hundreds of gentlemen who are willing to teach, they can't teach at all.

No one will ever want to teach them.

The literati have always cherished themselves, and they even look down on the arrogant and unreasonable Wufu Qiuba!

"Master Su, even if they want to consciousness words, no one will teach them!"

"Don't worry, I'll teach it myself!"

Su Yang nodded, "In the future, the rest time at night will be shortened, and I will give me an hour, and I will personally open a night school for them." ”

"The first batch of trainees is composed of musketeers and military benchmarks, well, there are illiterate generals like General Tan Yuan, no more than 100 people at a time, otherwise I can't teach them."

"Every time a student learns a word, he teaches it to others, and one person teaches another, and if this continues, the illiterate among the three guards will be emptied sooner or later."

Hearing Su Yang's words, the three of them were very moved.

After getting along for so long, they also understood the temperament of this Su Gongzi.

If it is not a very urgent matter, this Su Gongzi is never willing to take the initiative.

But now, in order to have a better development of the three guards of Yanshan, Su Gongzi actually wants to open a night school to teach them literacy in person!

After the soldiers are literate, they will naturally have a better future!

For example, this Tan Yuan is not without the possibility of becoming the commander of the three armed forces in the future!

This kindness is too great!

Tan Yuan's eyes were red, and he solemnly bowed to Su Yang.

"Tan Yuan is a soldier of the three armies, thank you for your great kindness!"
