Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Dunhuang is located in a remote area, so Liang Zuoqiu finally met a scholar who was full of poetry and literature, so he wanted to keep him as a disciple in the academy.  After some conversation, it turned out that Li Zhongyin was an expert in Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and medicine. He was also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He was a top-notch talent even in the Central Plains. He was confused as to how such a person could live outside Dunhuang, and he was even more eager to retain him.  .  During the conversation, Li Yu revealed his strong interest in Buddhism. Liang Zuoqiu said: "The academy is close to Thousand Buddha Rocks. Many famous monks from the West practice Zen and enlightenment there. It is convenient to move around in their free time. The following monk who just returned from Tianzhu and  I'm familiar with him too."

    Li Yu spent four years in Bianliang in fear. When he arrived in Dunhuang, he was humiliated for no reason. He was also described as a coward by the idle people in the market. He originally had a feeling of injustice inside.  Liang Zuoqiu proposed this grand initiative of sorting out the essence of Western Regions culture and creating a new generation of culture, which made him quite excited.  Although these strange books from the Western Regions run counter to Confucianism, they are also profound and profound. If compiled well, their influence will be no less than that of Buddhism entering the Central Plains.

    He had no relatives here. Not only did he write lyrics, but there were not many people who could even understand the lyrics in Dunhuang. However, while he stayed in the academy, he could always talk about economics and articles, and in his spare time, he could admire the exquisite murals on the Thousand Buddha Rock and visit eminent monks.  It seems that such comfort is not easy to come by when he is the emperor in Jiangnan. Mr. Liang Zuoqiu has the character to stand up to Chen De. Li Yu thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

    In the office of the commander of the Huamao Army, a list of officers who have recently made meritorious service in the Western Regions is spread out on the table. This was sent by Bai Sheng, the new commander of the Army.  Zhang Zhongyao was about to select the accompanying officers who would make a big meal. Suddenly, his finger stopped at a prominent position on the list and taught Li Lang, the centurion of the army. There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but he still drew a circle next to it.

    "General, Li Yu is staying in Shazhou Academy. He seems to be staying there for a long time. How should we deal with it?" A Chengying camp soldier asked for instructions.  Zhang Zhongyao raised his head, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's camp nearby first. It's like a drill. Later, I will find the supply camp to build a house next to the academy. Shazhou Academy is also an important place." The sergeant took the order and went there.  Go, Zhang Zhongyao put down his brush, thinking deeply.  The five strange books from the Western Regions piled neatly beside the table are Chen De's manuscripts.  This is what Chen De wrote from memory when he was living in Bianliang and had nothing to do. It also contains his comments and collation of these knowledge.  But he took a big detour and mixed it with the scriptures obtained from the Western Regions, and was strictly ordered not to reveal the source of the book.  This matter was all handled by Zhang Zhongyao, who was accompanying Chen De at the time. He always carried these five masterpieces written by the Lord with him, and read them when he had nothing to do to understand their meaning.  "Every book is enough to make a person famous all over the world, but my lord has resolutely abandoned this false reputation." Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongyao couldn't help but feel that Chen De was inscrutable in his heart, "A good fighter has no great achievements. A good doctor has no brilliant name.  . Shang Yang¡¯s reforms led to the destruction of his clan and Wang Mang¡¯s false claims of new learning, which made the world laugh and will be infamy for thousands of years.¡±

    "After Mr. Liang sorted it out and accumulated a group of gentlemen who had mastered the principles of this strange book, he invited scribes to teach "Logic", "Heavenly Evolution" and "Dialectics" to the sergeants of the Lianrui Army on a trial basis. Please gentlemen  The craftsmen in the craftsman camp teach "The Theory of Elements" and "The Laws of Mechanics."" Chen De patted the covers of those books, as if they were really books from the Western Regions.  Sitting in front of him were Xiao Jiu and Li Si, commanders of the Lian Rui Army.  Xiao Jiu had read those books. Hearing this, he couldn't help but doubt: "My lord, the sergeants have just learned to read. Although the strange books of the Western Regions are profound, they don't seem to be suitable for teaching to the sergeants." One of the implication of his words is that this era  Even if they teach sergeants, they mostly talk about how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. They don't teach such profound knowledge to sergeants. Both sergeants are rude men and may not be able to learn it.

    What Xiao Jiu said was also true. Chen De frowned and sighed: "I'm still too impatient. Then please teach the sergeants "Theory of Heaven's Evolution" first, so that they know about natural selection. If  If you don't rise up, you will perish. Soldiers are the foundation of our country. They should be knowledgeable and not ignorant. The other two books should be taught to the tax collectors first." Xiao Jiu and Li Si both answered in a deep voice.  Most of the tax collectors recruited by Li Si had studied literature. He himself had read the Book of the Western Regions and felt that although "Logic" and "Dialectics" had exquisite principles, they were not as thought-provoking as "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution".

    Chen De asked again: "How is the progress of the Military Intelligence Department's instigation of civilians to establish military academies?"

    Li Si hurriedly said: "At present, there are more than a dozen military academies in various states and counties. The first few were established under the instigation of the Military Intelligence Department. Later, the people saw that the students in the military academies could learn the skills needed in the army and were more likely to become sergeants.  So they sent their children to learn skills one after another. Rich merchants and gentry from all over the country saw that this military school was profitable on the one hand, and on the other hand it could increase the chances of local children to become sergeants and strengthen the influence of their fellow villagers in the army. They also established military schools one after another. Now among the people  Gun and stick instructors, archery masters, and equestrian instructors are all in high demand." What he didn't say was that because Anxi implements the sergeant's shadow house system, if a large family does not have a sergeant to support the facade, it will inevitably be ignored by others.??, this is the same as the Central Plains people's family must have a scholar.  Once the private military academy instigated by the Military Intelligence Department was demonstrated, it immediately satisfied the psychological needs of Anxi people who could not let their children lose at the starting line. In a short period of time, private military academies blossomed everywhere, and the various skills taught were also good and bad, but overall  , the military academy is cultivating new blood for the army. With the current selection of sergeants by various armies, only one in ten men who enter the military academy can successfully become sergeants, and the rest change to other industries after seeing no hope. It seems a bit  A waste of money and energy, but in fact, the entire Anxi prefectures and counties have also reserved a group of men who have initially understood various fighting skills.

    Chen De nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "This military academy not only requires martial arts training, but also essay writing. When the time is right, illiterate men will not be able to become sergeants. Let's get this news out first."

    Seeing that Li Si had written it down carefully, Chen De asked Xiao Jiudao: "Are the sergeants still used to drinking mare's milk?" Xiao Jiu said: "If you eat mare's milk all day long, most of them will have diarrhea." Chen De sighed: "Get used to it.  After a period of time, if you really can't adapt, you will be transferred from the Lianrui Army, but the replacements must be reliable sergeants. There is not so much food for long-distance marches. The Lianrui Army must accumulate experience in expedition training for other legions." Li Si  The man on the side joked: "Now the sergeants of the Lianrui Army are equipped with horses, which can be compared with Xingu's Hussars." Chen De smiled and said: "That's exactly what it is." The three of them discussed carefully about the Tax Collector's Mansion under Li Si's control.  After explaining all the details of how to contact and cooperate with the Transport and Transport Department in charge of Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu and Li Si stood up and left.

    In the inn next to the official road in Lingzhou, Liang De and Sun Tai were begging shopkeeper Sun: "Master, please agree to go to that military academy to teach archery. You will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. Just think about it, in the future  Many sergeants have to respectfully call you "Master" when they see you. Maybe there are centurions and captains among them. Close this inn and you go to the military academy to become an instructor. My two brothers will work for you.  Hold the horse in the stirrup, fan the fan and make tea." Shopkeeper Sun's eyes widened: "Bah, bah, bah, what does it matter? I don't want this month's wages? Tell me, shopkeeper, when did I accept you as my apprentice? Really.  He took a sip of tea and continued, "Did my shooting skills come from the military academy? Isn't it something I practiced hard by myself? I saw that you two are quite diligent in your work, so I gave you some guidance. You  It's a waste of money for the two of you to go to the military academy. It's better to save it to find a wife." Shopkeeper Sun licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth in a rather inconspicuous manner.

    "Master, in the future, not only will you have to take a test on archery skills to join the army, but I also heard that in the future you will only need to be literate and able to memorize military orders. You will also need to be able to disassemble and assemble a crossbow, cut down wood to make artillery for sieges, and learn to ride a Mongolian horse.  march."

    "Nonsense, what are you talking about? Are you joining the army or taking the exam to be a scholar?" Shopkeeper Sun replied angrily. He himself came to Hexi from Lanzhou with his master. He didn't know what the army looked like. To be honest, he went to the city to shoot arrows.  , I am not ambiguous either.

    "Really, it is said that these are the rules that the lord will promulgate, and it seems to be spreading outside, the lord said," Sun Tai tensed up his face, tried his best to imitate the appearance of Chen De in his imagination, cleared his throat, and said  , "If an infantry sergeant does not know these, he is not qualified to be a sergeant."

    Shopkeeper Sun frowned and cursed: "Go, go, my lord's words can reach your ears." At this time, a person walked in outside the store. Shopkeeper Sun looked up, but put on a smile and said: "Li  Brother, I haven't been here for a long time, the business of the shop must be getting more and more prosperous."

    It was Blacksmith Li who came in. When he arrived in Hexi to re-register everyone's skills, he did not hesitate to report his identity as a blacksmith. After showing his skills, the Hussars recognized his identity as a craftsman, and his household registration was listed under the Transport Department.  It can shelter twenty households.  The Anxi Army rewarded the households who followed Chen De from Lanzhou to Hexi with a sum of money. After confirming the identity of the craftsman, the Transport Department gave him another reward. Later, the great merchant gang Fu Haixing heard that his blacksmith skills were extraordinary.  , and approached him to open a large blacksmith workshop in partnership with him, and also provided him with pig iron as needed.  In addition to the many armors and weapons of the Hussars being made in his blacksmith shop, the growing trend of martial arts has greatly increased the demand for weapons. The supply is almost in short supply. Blacksmith Li's shop is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of apprentices is increasing.  more.

    "Fortunately," Li Tiejiang said with a smile. He took over a large armor-making business a few days ago. There are not only cavalry armors, but also war horse armors, which are specially used for armor and riding equipment. One set of armor is heavy.  Weighing more than eighty kilograms, the blacksmith shop worked day and night to make it according to the drawings given by the Hussars, and it was finally completed. Blacksmith Li looked at the armor, which was as dark as a steel fortress, and felt proud of his achievement.  Then I came to my old friend Sun Gouzi to have tea.

    "Brother, you are so humble. In these days, no one can make a fortune as quickly as a blacksmith shop in any business." Sun Gouzi personally brought a pot of tea. There was money from Blacksmith Li in the inn.  Next to him, Liang Desuntai also hurriedly rushed over and wiped the table.??, pouring tea, very busy.
