Chapter 860 Please bring Cai into the urn
"how?"
Cai Jing's face has become stern.
I am so old that I am, so I put down my airs and invited you vulgar martial artists to eat, drink, gamble... I didn't gamble, just eat, drink, gamble. Now I want you to help you, but I dare to push you three times and four times.
Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Liu Long and Xue Ding, four military officers with a big sesame size, were all sweating all over when they saw the prime minister's face. The rice in Kaifeng Mansion was really not delicious. It's better to go back to Jiehe early. There are more opportunities there. The large education regiment is recruiting people. Brothers have the ability, and one of them is still afraid that it will not be possible.
"Four," Zhong Fu was still kind-hearted. He knew that if these four were scared away, the model army would be gone. "What's the difficulty? Even if you can tell Cai Xianggong clearly."
"My husband, this can't be done..." The first person to speak was Chen Jian, the spy sent by Lin Chong to Kaifeng Mansion. He was in his twenties and was a very majestic man. His face was a little darker, but his black face also made him look loyal.
"Can't do it?" Cai Jing asked, "Why?"
Chen Jian stood up and bowed, "Reply to Xianggong's words, the three books "Infantry Science", "Cabiner Science" and "Tactic Theory" are used to read for students who have been studied by Yuntai Academy and Biyong Academy, and there is no quick way to achieve knowledge. How can knowledge be achieved quickly? Xianggong thinks Confucianism can be achieved quickly?"
That's right... Cai Jing frowned. How can knowledge be achieved quickly? No! Why has it become knowledge to lead troops to fight?
As soon as he thought of this, Cai Bian, the Imperial College Priest, said, "Isn't it just leading troops to fight? How can it be compared with Confucianism?"
This is what Zhong Fu frowned.
"Nehan (referring to the Hanlin Bachelor) said very well." Chen Jian said with a smile on his face, "It's just that even if you learn a craft, you have to follow the steps and have to work hard for many years to master it. If you want to achieve quick results, you will not be able to learn the skills."
Cai Bian nodded. Leading troops to fight is just a skill, and it has nothing to do with knowledge.
“That is, it can be done quickly?”
"Of course," Chen Jian said, "but we can't teach them according to the three books "Infantry Science", "Cabinet Science" and "Tactic Theory"... Xianggong, Nehan, these three books are actually the latest versions. Xia Guan and others learned in the Knight Academy, but they are not these three books, they are much simpler."
Wu Haogu's knowledge was gradually improved, and he "progressed" very quickly, so he was a lot worse than graduating from Knights Academy in a few years.
In order to allow subordinates to master the latest knowledge, Wu Haogu also ordered Yuntai Academy to open many "short training classes" to take turns to make up for students who work outside.
Before Su Dongpo's death, Li Gang, a professor at Yuntai Academy, brought "Theory of Reason", as well as the latest versions of "Monologies" and "Mathematics" to Biyong Academy, and gave two months of classes to professors from Yuntai who worked in the Biyong Academy. So Chen Jian and others could understand the new versions of "Infantry Science", "Cavalents" and "Tactical Theory".
"You mean to teach the old version first?" Zhong Fu asked.
"The old version is too difficult," Chen Jian said further, "and it has to be deleted... and "Cavalent Science" and "Tactic Theory" are difficult to quickly achieve. You can teach the "Infantry Science" after the deleted first."
Zhong Fu nodded. He could understand what Chen Jian said. No one could teach an officer who could not ride a horse (cavalry standard) to become a master of cavalry training. Moreover, "Tactic Theory" talks about the tactical cooperation of various teams and above (excluding teams). Before mastering "Cathing Science", "Infantry Science" and that complicated Zhang Yuan were embarrassed to give it to Cai Jing. Before Cai Bian read "Engineering Science", "Tactic Theory" could not be taught at all.
...
"My husband, the junior official thinks he can follow Chen Jian's method."
Cai Jing, Cai Bian and Zhong Fu did not stay overnight in Xixi Tower and left after dinner. They just told Yan Xixi to take good care of the four martial artists Yan Xixi to spend the night with them, but they would arrange for other beauties to sleep.
On the way back to the prime minister's mansion, Zhong Fu told Cai Jing and Cai Bian what he thought.
"The Xiaguan has studied the battles commanded by Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu," said Zhong Fu. "In Xiaguan's opinion, the real stroke of magic is actually the knights from the Wu Haogu Military and Education Department commanding the palace soldiers, and trained the palace soldiers into elites who can form a dense array of guns to charge. Moreover, unlike the ordinary imperial guards, the palace soldiers trained by Wu Haogu did not pay attention to crossbows, but mainly spears..."
Zhong Fu's defeat was indeed in vain. He actually carefully studied the battle between Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu and found some tricks from it.
In his opinion, as long as one can train an infantryman who can charge a long spear group, and cooperate with the imperial knights and the cavalry drawn from the Border River and the northwest, it will be enough to complete the important task of recapturing Yan Yun.
Cai Jing listened to Zhong Fu's words, but his mind had already drifted away from the training of soldiers. Since Zhong Fu said it was OK, that should be fine, right? At worst, you can practice more soldiers. If there is a 500,000 or 600,000, you are afraid that Yan Yun will not be able to recover? Moreover, it will take more than ten years to restore Yan Yun. The most important thing at the moment is to defeat the empirical school as soon as possible!
If Wu Haogu's empirical school was allowed to develop for more than ten years without restrictions, it would probably be too big at that time. It would not only be a threat to the orthodox Confucian classics, but it would never be a good thing for the Song Dynasty!
At this time, Cai Jing and others happened to be at the foot of the Xihuang City of Kaifeng Prefecture. The north wind was howling under the tall city wall, which was particularly cold. Cai Jing, who was riding on the horse, was stirred by the cold wind and suddenly spoke: "It's soon, it's soon..."
"Zheng Yuan, what's going on?"
Cai Jing smiled and said to his younger brother: "Of course, the scholars from all over the world are about to gather in Kaifeng Prefecture! There will be no problem with the Biyong Academy Palace in Yuandu, right?"
"No." Cai Bian said, "All professors from Yuntai Academy have sent people to watch."
Cai Jing said: "Everything was sent! Except for those four military scholars, everyone else was driven away!"
"Everything is driven away?" Cai Bian was stunned, "How do you attend classes in the school?"
Cai Jing said: "How did the Taixue teach before, and how did the Biyong Academy teach now! Just add the archery, horse, martial arts and military skills... What is the use of math, morphology, physiology, biology, etc.? There is also Wu Haogu's "Personal Theory" and "Reason Theory" don't need to be taught.
The most important thing now is not to let Wu Haogu’s people incite students to do something right with us in the Biyong Academy.”
"Yuan Chang, isn't this good?" Cai Bian shook his head and said, "The officials are also very interested in mathematics, physics, physiology, and biology... If they are suddenly cancelled and they are known to the officials, they will probably cause unnecessary trouble."
"Then you have to drive away the people of Wu Haogu!" Cai Jing said, "Just find some people to teach. If the students have any opinions, they will tell them that the current right-ranking imperial examination will be based on articles, martial arts and military studies, and will not take mathematics, morphology, physics and biology.
By the way, the four officers should not stay at the Biyong Academy to teach, and let them prepare to build the Quick Martial Arts School.”
"Is the martial arts school going to start recruiting students?" Zhong Fu interrupted.
"Let's start!" Cai Jing said, "First draft a charter, and all military officers in Beijing can register... Regardless of their origin, they can register!"
...
"No matter what origin?"
"Yes, regardless of origin!"
"Cai Jing is afraid that no one will read his martial arts?"
"Not everyone can sign up, you must have an official position!"
"Zhang San, do you want an official position?"
"Official body, master, do you want me to go?"
Xixilou, Chen Jian, who came to see again, was not Yan Xixi or another beauty, but Lin Chong, the owner of Jiehe Dark Hall, who lived in at some time.
Yan Xixi was a Hongxingshou in Kaifeng Prefecture, and no one dared to provoke her. Her Xixi Tower was naturally even if the Imperial City Department and the Military Patrol Institute of Kaifeng Prefecture were even afraid to touch her. Therefore, it became the best place for Lin Chong, a big spy.
In a room on the third floor of Xixi Tower, where Xixi Tower never opens to the public, Chen Jian and a man wearing a brocade robe with a obviously larger size and a little unshaven bearded were talking to Lin Chong. This man was called Zhang San by Lin Chong, with a famous aspiration. He looked a little younger than Lin Chong, but he was still in his thirties. He was a miscellaneous martial artist, the kind of down-and-out martial artist who could never be as good as an official in his entire life.
Moreover, he did not have the opportunity of Lin Chong, nor did he have the ability to do so. He participated in the imperial martial arts performance twice and did not become a warrior. Naturally, he did not get a house, so he did not marry his wife even though he was too young. However, he had met Lin Chong several times, and he went to Jiehe Shangshi to surrender. At that time, Lin Chong took over the secret hall and absorbed him. He also married his wife in Jiehe Shangshi and bought a real estate for him. Now his wife is still pregnant, but no one knows everything he has in Jiehe.
Zhang Yanzhi, who is in Kaifeng Prefecture, is still a down-and-out man. He has eaten up all his food and made a group of friends and does not buy property. Today, he came to visit Xixilou and borrowed the clothes he wore from his friends.
"What?" Lin Chong looked at his capable subordinate, "Don't you want to be an official?"
Zhang Yanzhi just shook his head, "Master, Lao Thief Cai is so smart. You will definitely see who recommended it..."
Lin Chong said: "I know, I will let Xixi arrange it... Her path is wider than mine."
He paused, "You have a lot of friends in the Warriors, right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yanzhi said, "There are many people in the Warriors who are also Bianliangzi. However... everyone doesn't like the old thief Cai and wants Gao Xuan to come back."
Lin Chong smiled and said, "If you want Gao Xuanshuai to come back, you have to let Lao Thief Cai get out first, right? Brother Zhang San, you can find a way to mobilize some warriors and everyone will get into the exam together.
Xingguo, there is no problem with the entrance examination?"
Chen Jian smiled: "If you can have a bird matter, it's just a quota sold. The two Cai thieves can use it and will not care about it."
