Chapter Eleven Military Academy

Dunhuang is located in the border area. Liang Zuoqiu finally met a scholar who was full of poetry and books, so he wanted to stay him in the academy to teach his disciples. After a conversation, Li Zhongyin was actually a Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist and medical practitioner, and was skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even in the Central Plains, he was a first-class talent. He was confused about how such a person could be left outside Dunhuang, and he was even more eager to keep him. During the conversation, Li Yu showed a strong interest in Buddhism. Liang Zuoqiu said: "The academy is close to Qianfo Rock. Many famous monks from the West practiced Zen and realized the truth. They were easy to walk in their spare time. The monk Jicong, who had just returned from the Kingdom of Heaven, was also familiar with me."

Li Yu spent four years in Bianliang tremblingly. When he first arrived in Dunhuang, he was humiliated for no reason. He was described as if he was a coward and was originally a irritorial inside. Liang Zuoqiu proposed to sort out the essence of Western Regions' learning and the grand ceremony of opening up a generation of trends has made him quite moved. Although these strange Western Regions books are contrary to Confucianism, they are also profound. If they are well sorted out, the impact will be no less than that of Buddhism entering the Central Plains.

He had no relatives here, and in Dunhuang City, there were not many people who could understand the lyrics. However, he could talk about the articles of Jinglun from time to time, admire the exquisite murals of Qianfoyan in his spare time, and search for monks in his spare time. It was so comfortable that it seemed that it was not easy to get when he was emperor in Jiangnan. Mr. Liang Zuoqiu had the spirit of fighting against Chen De. Li Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

In the office of the commander of the Flower Hat Army, the table was unveiled on the table that had recently made meritorious service in the Western Regions. This was sent by Bai Sheng, the new commander of the Rong Army. Zhang Zhongyao wanted to select the entourage officer who was serving the food inside. Suddenly, his fingers stopped in a prominent position on the list. Li Lang, the centurion of the Rong Army, flashed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and he still drew a circle next to it.

"General, Li Yu stayed in Shazhou Academy, as if he wanted to live for a long time. How to deal with it?" A Chengying Camp Army asked for instructions. Zhang Zhongyao raised his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's camp beside him. It's a drill. I look for a baggage camp to build a house next to the academy. Shazhou Academy was originally an important point." The soldier took the order and left. Zhang Zhongyao put down his brush, thinking. Five neatly stacked Western Regions books on the side of the table were Chen De's manuscript. This was written by Chen De when he lived in Bianliang without any trouble, and it was also mixed with his comments and sorting of these knowledge.

A big bend, mixed in the scriptures sought in the Western Regions, and the source of the book was not to be revealed. This was done by Zhang Zhongyao, who was with Chen De at that time, and he kept the masterpieces of the five lords' handwritten works with him. When he had nothing to do, he read and understood the meaning. "Each book is enough to make people famous all over the world, but the lord abandoned this false name." Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongyao couldn't help but feel that Chen De was unfathomable, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Those who are good at doctors have no glorious names. Shang Yang's reforms, the chariots were broken and the clans were destroyed, and Wang Mang called his new learning, laughing at the world, and left a bad reputation for his forever."

"When Mr. Liang sorted it out, he also accumulated a group of gentlemen who mastered the meaning of this strange book, so he invited literati to teach "Logics", "Evolution of Heaven" and "Dialectics" to the soldiers of the Lianrui Army. He asked gentlemen to teach "Elemental Theory" and "Law of Mechanics" to the craftsmen who built the craftsmen." Chen De gently patted the covers of those books, as if they were really books from the Western Regions. In front of him were Xiao Jiu and Li Si. Xiao Jiu had read those books, and he couldn't help but question: "Lord, the soldiers have just learned to read. Although the strange books in the Western Regions are profound, they seem to be not suitable for teaching them to the soldiers." His implication is that even professors of sergeants in this era talked about the way of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. He did not teach such profound knowledge to the soldiers. The other is that the sergeants are all rude men and may not be able to understand them.

What Xiao Jiu said was the truth. Chen De frowned and sighed, "I am still too impatient. Then please teach the soldiers "Theory of Heaven and the Evolution" first, so that they can know the principles of survival if they do not rise up. Soldiers are the foundation of my country, and they should be wise and not be confused. The other two books should be taught to the tax collectors first." Xiao Jiu and Li Si both replied in a deep voice. Most of the tax collectors recruited by Li Si have been learning literature, and he himself has read the Western Regions books. He feels that although "Logics" and "Dialectics" have exquisite meanings, they are not as thought-provoking as "Theory of Heaven and the Evolution of Heaven".

Chen De asked again: "How is the progress of the military intelligence department instigating the civilians to establish military academies?"

Li Si hurriedly said: "At present, the prefectures and counties have already established more than a dozen military academies. At first, several were established by the Military Information Department. Later, the people saw that the students in the military learned the skills required by the military and became easier for the soldiers to become soldiers, so they sent their children in to learn the skills. Seeing that the military academies were profitable, the other hand could also increase the chances of local children becoming soldiers, strengthening the power of fellow villagers in the military, they also found military academies. Now the civilian gun and rod instructors, archery masters, and equestrian instructors are very popular." What he did not say is that because Anxi implemented a sergeant-bearing family system, if there was no sergeant in the wealthy family to support the store, it would be neglected.

It is the same as the people of the Central Plains that they must provide a scholar with. Once the private military academy was instigated by the Military Information Department, it immediately met the psychological needs of the Anxi scholars who could not let their children lose at the starting line. In a short period of time, the private military academy was blooming everywhere, and the various skills taught were of varying quality. But overall, the military academy was cultivating new blood for the army. With the current selection of the elite of the soldiers, only one or two men entering the military academy were able to successfully become sergeants. The rest changed to other industries after seeing hopelessness, which seemed to waste money and energy, but in fact, the entire Anxi prefectures and counties also reserved a group of men who had initially understood various combat skills.

Chen De nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "This military academy not only needs to practice martial arts, but also literature. When the time is right, the illiterate male will not be promoted to a soldier. Let's release the news first."

Seeing that Li Si had carefully recorded it, Chen De asked Xiao Jiu again: "Are the soldiers used to drinking horse milk?" Xiao Jiu said: "Eat horse milk all day long, and there are diarrhea." Chen De sighed: "Adit for a while. If you really can't adapt, transfer away from the Lianrui Army, but the ones who come in must be reliable sergeants. There is not so much food for long-distance marching. The Lianrui Army must accumulate experience in expedition training for other legions." Li Si joked: "Now the soldiers of the Lianrui Army are all wearing horses, which is comparable to Xin Gu's cavalry." Chen De smiled and said, "That's exactly what it is." After carefully discussing the details of how the tax collector's office under Li Si and the logistics department under Xiao Jiu's control, Xiao Jiu and Li Si stood up to say goodbye.

In the inn next to the official road in Lingzhou, Liang De and Sun Tai were begging the shopkeeper Sun: "Master, you promise to go to the military academy to teach shooting skills. One day, and a father for life. Just imagine, in the future, many sergeants and masters will have to call you respectfully, and maybe there will be a centurion and a lieutenant. The inn is closed, and you will be the coach at the military academy. My brothers and two of you lead horses and stirrups for you, and make tea." The shopkeeper Sun glared: "Bao, bah

Bah, what are you going to get? I don’t want this month’s salary? I’ll call the shopkeeper, when will I accept you as my apprentice? Really." He took a sip of tea and continued, "My craftsmanship skills were learned from the middle school of the military academy? Didn’t I practice it by myself? I think you two are quite diligent in working hard, so I will give you some advice. If you two go to the military academy, it would be a waste of money. It would be better to save up and ask for a wife." Shopkeeper Sun licked the saliva at the corner of his mouth without any image.

"Master, in the future, you will not only have to be a good candidate for shooting skills, but also heard that in the future, you only need to be able to read, and you will be able to dismantle and install crossbows, cut wood and make Huihuans for siege, and learn to march on Mongolian horses."

"Nothing nonsense, what, are you joining the army or taking the exam for a scholar!" Manager Sun replied angrily. He was following his lord to Hexi in Lanzhou. It is still unclear what the army looks like. To be honest, he was not vague when he went to the city to shoot archery.

"Really, it is said that these are all rules that the lord will issue. They are spread out like a little bit outside, the lord said, "Sun Tai stretched out his face and tried his best to imitate Chen De's appearance as he imagined, cleared his throat, and said, "If the infantry sergeant doesn't know how to do these things, then he is not qualified to be a sergeant."

Manager Sun frowned and cursed, "Go away, the lord's words can also reach your ears." At this time, someone came into the store. Manager Sun looked up and smiled and said, "Brother Li, I haven't come for a long time, and the shop business will definitely be getting more and more prosperous."

The one who came in was Li Blacksmith. When he arrived in Hexi, he reported his blacksmith's identity without hesitation. After showing his craftsmanship, the Cavalry Army recognized his craftsmanship identity, and his household registration was under the logistics department, which could shelter twenty households. The Anxi Army rewarded a silver and money for the households who followed Chen De from Lanzhou to Hexi. After confirming the craftsmanship identity, the Course Department sent him a reward. Later, the Da Shanggang heard that his blacksmith's craftsmanship was extraordinary, so he came to join the door to open a large blacksmith workshop with him, and also provided him with pig iron materials according to demand. In addition to the many armored weapons of the Cavalry Army, the increasingly strong style of martial arts practice greatly increased the demand for weapons, and almost in short supply. Li Blacksmith's shop was opened bigger and bigger, and there were more and more apprentices.

"Fortunately," Li Blacksmith smiled. A few days ago, he took on a large single-handed armor business. Not only the armor of the cavalry, but also the armor of war horses, which were specially used for armor and cavalry equipment. A set of armor weighs more than 80 kilograms. The blacksmith shop made it day and night according to the patterns given by the cavalry army. Finally, it was completed. Li Blacksmith looked at the armor that was dark like a steel fortress, and was also proud of his achievements. Then he came to his old friend Sun Gouzi to have tea.

"Brother, you are too modest. In this day, no matter how many businesses you do, you are as good as those in the blacksmith shop, you will get a fortune." Sun Gouzi personally brought a pot of tea. There was also money paid by Li Blacksmith in the inn. Liang De and Sun Tai rushed up next to him, wiping the table and pouring tea, and he was very busy.
