Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 482 Protecting the Central Plains for Datang

The first eighty-fourth chapter defends the Central Plains for Datang
No matter how good Cen Wenwen's self-cultivation is, facing this nondescript school like Chenjiabao, he can't help but feel the urge to complain.After a brief understanding, Cen Wenwen knew that this Chenjia Gongxue was a school composed of children from craftsmen and military soldiers. They learned a hundred surnames, arithmetic, physics, chemistry, medicine, agriculture, and even Learn to cook.

The school also teaches astronomy, geography, and history, but it does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics. At this moment, Cen Wenwen has the urge to vomit blood: "If this is the case, what will this school look like? The school is for teaching the Four Books and Five Classics." The place! It is the place where the way of saints is taught!"

The one-armed old soldier who acted as the secretary and watchman listened to Cen Wenwen's words, and said dismissively: "Come on, return the four books and five classics, the way of a sage! Now the world is so chaotic, I can't live anymore. What about the way of a sage..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his beard trembled. He pointed at the one-armed old soldier and shouted, "You...you..."

The one-armed old soldier continued: "In these days, there is a skill that is much better than the way of a sage!"

Cen Wenwen roared: "Nonsense, shut up, what kind of school is a school that doesn't teach the way of saints!"

The one-armed old soldier said solemnly: "Our school is not a school, but engineering. Our master has already said that a school is a place to teach people to be officials. We are here for engineering. Students in this school learn to know a few thousand words. After learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they start to learn the courses they are most interested in. Those who like painting can learn painting, those who like singing can learn singing, and those who like farming can learn farming. This school has cultivated a large number of elites from all walks of life. , not a bunch of nerds who can only talk!"

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen was no longer angry, but calm.

As the saying goes, not speculative, Cen Wenwen also lost interest in Chenjiabao's engineering school.

It is a good habit to plan ahead.

Although Chen Ying is in Hulao Pass, the affairs here in Chenjiabao have always been led by Xu Jingzong.When the outer city walls of Chenjiabao hadn't been fully built, Chenjia Gongxue had actually surrendered to full operation.Every day is of course a place to teach children how to read, and at night, it becomes a night school.

According to different majors, skilled craftsmen teach apprentices to learn steelmaking, ironmaking, mechanical processing, crossbow making, armor making, knife casting, bearings, ballista, crossbow machine and other professional adult craftsmen learn the system here Theoretical knowledge, these craftsmen who don't know a lot of big characters, have a particularly strong ability to accept theoretical knowledge. They are easy to understand, but they can't remember it. However, for the sake of standardization and assembly line, Chen Ying had to let these craftsmen In their work, in their eye-catching places, there are texts of various processes, learning the ratio of different components of smelting, iron, copper and alloy steel, and basic physical and chemical knowledge.

In addition to craftsmen, farmers are also trained to learn scientific and standardized planting techniques.

At the beginning, many farmers found it unbelievable. After all, there is a proverb in Guanzhong, "The crops don't need to be worked, and the others are working hard." Even if the Chen Jiagong School does not charge tuition fees, who wants to suffer if they don't sleep well at night? ?

At the critical moment, Chen Ying thought of a strategy.He sent out to tell his tenants that as long as they learned his planting method, they could earn two or even three stones per mu.Although all the tenants were skeptical, more than 300 families followed the night school.

Of course, the Chen Family Engineering School has been established temporarily, but there are neither great Confucian scholars nor high-ranking officials here, at least not a single family member has come to study here.

Chen Ying is not in a hurry. A seed planted in the ground always needs time to take root and germinate. Only when it grows into a towering tree or bears fruit will people realize their true value.

Now Chen Jiagong School was later directly written by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty as "Datang University of Technology". It is also known as the three major universities of the Tang Dynasty together with Datang Taixue and Guozijian. The students of Datang University of Technology have a very famous characteristic, which is this The students in the university are all generalists, and being placed in the position of county magistrate can benefit one side.If they are placed in the army, they can become qualified famous generals and teachers. Even if they are given a piece of wasteland, they can grow more food than others.What's even more frightening is that as long as the students of Datang University of Technology, without exception, are masters of all kinds of crafts.

……

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning stood at the top of the city, looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains outside the pass.Feng Li hurried up to the top of the city, and reported to the two: "General, Your Royal Highness, I have searched everything, and there is not a single soldier in the pass."

Li Xiuning's complexion changed slightly, she frowned, and gritted her teeth: "Even without seeing the shadow of Dou Jiande's army, he escaped completely. Shi Derui is such a waste!"

Chen Ying's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Shi Derui is not a waste, he is just too smart."

"Smart?" Li Xiuning asked suspiciously, "He's really not smart in doing this!"

"Just pretending to be smart!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Because of the battle of Longmen, repeated defeats caused Shi Derui to take a wait-and-see attitude. If Datang wins, he will lead all the states below Weizhou to surrender. If the Tang Dynasty is defeated, he will seek refuge with Wang Shichong and become Duke Wei of the State of Zheng. There is not much time left, and Dou Jiande's army will approach the city early in the morning."

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "San Niang, let's go!"

Li Xiuning turned around abruptly, looked at Chen Ying in disbelief, and said in a tone of unkindness, "Go? Where are you going?"

Chen Yingdao: "Why do you want me to send troops to Hulao Pass?"

Li Xiuning said: "Stop Dou Jiande's army."

Chen Ying gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, if the army blocking Dou Jiande can only defend and not attack, it will take less than half a month and the morale will be gone. How can we resist?"

Both Li Xiuning and Feng Li were speechless.

Chen Ying looked resolutely and looked outside Hulao Pass, "How many people do we have?"

Feng Lidao: "36 regiments..." He paused, swallowed and spit: "Counting the personal guards of the general and Her Royal Highness, there are 38 regiments in total, with 400 people."

Chen Yingdao: "Pull up the flag, close the city gate, prepare the equipment, and bury the pot for cooking!"

Feng Li looked at Chen Ying without saying a word.

Chen Ying turned to look at Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui and said: "You two, lead ten Liuyue cavalry regiments, and you are not allowed to fight until the horses reach Hulao Pass, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

Luo Shixin's mouth became dry: "General...Think twice..."

Chen Ying turned to look outside the Hulao Pass, watching the dark clouds piled up in the sky, which seemed to be overwhelming.Chen Ying said with a smile: "We rely on these 38 regiments to defend the Hulao Pass for Datang... and the Central Plains for Datang...."

Li Xiuning knew that she had misunderstood Chen Ying, and hurriedly said, "Chen Lang...me!"

Chen Yingdao: "The Modao Army has nine regiments, three regiments of personal guards, and three regiments of shooters! Fifteen regiments, go out with this general!"
