Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty One: Ping the World
People like Li Laiheng were inhaling cold air in their hearts.
It turns out that these tens of thousands of students can even read and write.
Such a high requirement?
In this way, if only one or two of them, who have fought thousands of miles, are afraid that one or two of them will be qualified to enter the military academy and become an ordinary pawn in just one hundred people.
In fact, deep down they were already impressed by Donglin Jun.
They were quite excited about hearing that they were going to be recommended to join the Donglin Army this time.
But there are also some things to be lost.
After all, for them, they used to command thousands of troops and could stand alone, but now they have become small soldiers, which is indeed a bit psychologically unbearable.
Zhang Jingyi encouraged them: "Study hard and drop out in the future. I will transfer you back to Liaodong. Now, I lack a lot of talents around me."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the humans: "Transfer them all to Li Dingguo's teaching team."
"yes."
Everyone thanked again and entered the military academy under the guidance of others.
This military academy is not so much a military academy as a satellite city outside the capital.
It is full of stars, with countless camps, and many strange buildings in the schoolyard.
Among these people, Li Laiheng, led by him, entered the school, and then received a full set of weapons. He was soon transferred to the recruit camp and started training.
But when they first practiced, they realized that the military academy was so powerful.
You know, they are also people who have survived the hardships and have never suffered any hardships.
It was only when I was practicing that I realized what numbness was.
Not only that, practice during the day, but also takes one hour a day to learn to read and read words.
Starting from the initial recognition of words, fortunately, this is quite easy for those who have mastered some skills in identifying and judging words.
However... everyone even distributed books and asked them to write down their experiences and thoughts on their practice every day.
This...is incredible.
Then Sun Kewang couldn't help but complain: "How come this is here to join the army? Is there anyone who joins the army like this? What's the use of writing this? Why don't we try that gun and cannon earlier? That thing. I see that the people in the next team practice this every day, and it's so exciting."
Others generally agree with Sun Kewang's words.
However, Li Laiheng said: "Okay, don't complain. The rules here are strict, so don't lose our face."
So, Sun Kewang and others had nothing to say, so they held the book obediently, and began to rack their brains to write their own diaries.
The only thing that made them feel relieved was that although the training was extremely hard, the daily food was excellent. Even if they were bandits who had become leaders, they thought of their past treatment, compared with the food here, they were in the sky and underground.
There is enough meat, and there are all kinds of dishes, including steamed cakes, rice, steamed buns, eggs, and goat milk.
"I want to be such a soldier for the rest of my life." A group of people held a basin of iron rice and piled up various dishes on top of them. While eating, they sighed.
"I heard that the monthly meal expenses of one person are only two taels of silver."
Of course, whispering to each other during meals, everyone just whispers.
When the recruits were almost in practice, each teaching team came to pick people, but because Zhang Jing had greeted him early in the morning, it was Li Dingguo's teaching team who came to lead people.
Only Sun Kewang, Li Laiheng, and the others were more than 200. Some went to artillery, some went to civil engineering teaching teams, some went to special teaching teams, and some even people might be directly assigned to Lushun, where there was a navy teaching team.
Li Dingguo's teaching team has actually been distinguished from ordinary infantry teaching teams, and has a special name called the Officer's teaching team.
If other teaching teams are to train non-commissioned officers, the people trained here are obviously more harsh and strict.
It is said that only the best group of people in the recruit camp are qualified to enter here. Although here, like other students, they are just small pawns, but their future prospects are much more promising in the army than other teaching teams.
At the beginning, they still complain.
Later, I gradually became numb.
Practice, study, and keep a diary every day.
There is even a special library in the school where you can borrow various books at any time.
Not only that, there are different activities almost every month to encourage everyone to participate.
For Li Laiheng, he opened his eyes almost every day, and his feet were so busy that he didn't touch the ground.
There is no way to have any other thoughts.
Fortunately, many things in school are very simple, everything is arranged for you. You don’t have to worry about what tomorrow will happen, and you don’t have to worry about your parents, wife and children at home.
Just focus on it until the end of the day, drain all your energy and physical strength.
In more than a month, Li Laiheng completely integrated here.
Like many people, he had to give a tribute to the attention when he began to pass by Minglun Hall.
Because Minglun Hall was the place after Zhang Jingyi arrived at the school, and it was also the public housing of Zhang Jingyi, the mentor, nominally.
Almost everyone in the school believes in Zhang Jingyi and thinks that he is studying here in order to one day be able to govern the country and pacify the world and change the world with his mentor.
Be loyal to the emperor and respect your teachers, and be committed to the new policy.
Even people like Li Laiheng who have seen many worlds gradually began to feel that this is justified, to be loyal to the emperor and respect their mentors, to serve the country above and the people below.
Of course, the measures they took were more direct, believing that only artillery and bayonets could defend the new policy and eliminate unjust officials and foreign invaders.
Occasionally, Li Laiheng, who was in the Sixth Squad of the Officer Training Team, met Sun Kewang, who was in the Second Squad of the First Fourth Squadron.
Although the two were in the officers' teaching team, the squadrons were different, and the camps were far apart and they almost never met on weekdays.
Now that I have seen this old friend, I have to come forward intimately to greet each other.
Li Laiheng said: "How are you doing lately?"
Sun Kewang said: "Fortunately, the schoolwork is heavy, and artillery learning involves arithmetic. I have been not good at urinating since I was a child, and it is a bit difficult."
Li Laiheng said: "It's okay to learn math. I have read a few books in the library. Maybe it's useful to you. You can borrow "Liu Geometry", "Operation Charts", and "Algebra Summary". These three books are simpler than the math we learned, but it's good that it's simple to explain, easy to understand, and it's said that they were all written by the senior brothers in the previous issues."
Sun Kewang is busy and write down.
Li Laiheng immediately said, "A few days ago, there were letters coming from Liaodong. I wonder if Uncle Zhang has sent you a letter?"
Sun Kewang said: "The adoptive father taught me to study here with peace of mind. He said that they had already settled in Liaodong. Although it was still hard, they were also very comfortable. Now they are rushing to open up the land and just wait for the spring of the next year to plant food. Everyone is still satisfied with their current life... In the past, I just thought about following my adoptive father in Liaodong, but now... I read the letters again and it feels a different feeling."
"Why is this?"
Sun Kewang said: "After thinking about it, this seven-foot body of a real man should be as his teacher said. If he advances, he will beat the world and make those who are unofficial. If he retreats, he will protect the people and establish his life for the people. It is a blessing that we can enter the school. How can we live up to this great years and the sacred decree given by God? I have already sent a letter to say that after reading the letter, I am very pleased to see that my father and the others are safe. I also told my father about my current ambitions. I will go down to study here. In the future, my teacher will definitely be of great use to us."
His words actually touched Li Laiheng's thoughts. He actually thought so, but he was worried that he would reply to such letters. Although Li Zicheng has sincerely joined the court now, after all... there are still some barriers. Will Li Zicheng have any misunderstandings when replying to the letters he has done like this?
So he smiled and said, "You should do this, and I should follow it."
At that moment, he said something and heard the whistle in the distance, so he hurriedly said goodbye to each other and went back to our team.
I have to say.
The achievements of Li Laiheng and others... were still shocked when they were sent to Zhang Jingyi's desk.
Because they are actually transfer students.
It was divided halfway through.
For Zhang Jingyi, they have already had the ability without having too much homework.
But two or three months later, all of these people started to catch up with their grades, from the beginning to the middle level, and now, the grades in various subjects have gradually reached the middle level.
Sure enough... when awesome people go, they are all great people, and their learning ability and almost perverted self-discipline are different from ordinary people.
Zhang Jingyi was relieved, but at the moment... the only thing he paid attention to was his ironclad ship.
The sea trial of the Iron Craft was quite smooth, although there were many problems.
For example, the navy personnel who operate the ironclad ships are still not proficient. After all, drilling on land is completely different from real watering.
Many people have violations, and because they are not skilled, they often lose their links.
Fortunately, all of this can be compensated with more sea trials.
In addition, there are some technical repairs.
There are many questions listed.
For example, the speed does not meet the requirements, and many other details are obviously not in place.
However, for Zhang Jingyi, this is actually quite acceptable.
After all, ironclad ships are completely two types of ships for today's sailing ships. Even if there are countless problems, as long as they can go into the sea and sail, they are almost all slaughtered for the sailing ships of this era.
So, Zhang Jing asked someone to continue the sea trial, while asking all the boatmen and other personnel to summarize the problem.
We must make up for problems that can be compensated. If we cannot be compensated, we must also record them and find ways to solve them in the next ship.
But... what does the iron-clad ship look like? Zhang Jingyi was fascinated. After four or five years of hard work, he gathered tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen from all over the world, as well as outstanding people from all walks of life, tens of millions of taels, or even nearly hundreds of millions of taels of silver. What kind of thing was finally piled up?
