Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 135

"Then have you thought about the specific requirements for recruiting the guards? It's a different matter from military conscription."

Jiang Jiangzuo habitually took out a pen and paper, and was about to record it.

"You don't need to remember this, you already have enough work, and it's too much to entrust it to you." Cheng Nuo raised his hand and pressed down to let him put away the pen and paper: "Right now we are just discussing together, and we will discuss it when we return to Beijing." Make a decision and deal with it by a special person.

However, you can’t spare the speeches that should be made. Maybe a few members of the escort team who performed well will be sent to Europe and America to protect you after passing the training. They will be responsible for your safety at that time. "

"Don't, you've been talking like this, so I have to record it carefully. I'm responsible for my wealth and life. Don't be careful if I don't play [-]%. I won't be able to sleep at night. I'd better have some snacks." Jiang Jiang After hearing this, Zuo became more cautious, raised Erlang's legs and put the notebook on his knees, so as to write down the words smoothly.

Cheng Nuo stopped persuading, and said in a different tone: "You don't have to choose the guards from among the refugees. If the standards are determined, you can also write them down. If you meet a good seedling, tell me directly. We will also meet the requirements." For direct admission, those who are extremely outstanding may not be bound by the rules."

Cai Yuanpei picked up his teacup and took a sip from his mouth: "Zhiyuan, where did your tea come from? Although it's not among the top ten famous teas, it's not a common thing either."

Cheng Nuo looked away and said curiously: "Cai Gong, I've never been very particular about drinking tea. The most enjoyable way is to drink tea with cows. The tea cake was given to me by someone else. It's a waste for me. It just so happens that the sword is given to the hero. Give good tea to Duke Cai.”

Cai Yuanpei shook his head and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I don't understand that I have to drink more. I'd better keep the good tea for myself. This tea is one of the six major types of tea, white tea. It is covered with pekoe, like silver and snow. Its name is clear and fresh, the soup color is yellow-green and clear, the taste is light and sweet, and it can be regarded as a treasure in tea."

In ancient China, there has always been a saying that "a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron should not be nailed". For ordinary people, if they are not really desperate, they will not let their children become soldiers.Moreover, corruption was prevalent in the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers at that time, and only a small amount of 2 taels of silver was left in the hands of the soldiers.

"It's easy to say, you have to say it first, don't you?" Cai Yuanpei said warmly, "Maybe what you said is just right, so we don't need to change it, just take it out and use it directly."

Jiang Jiangzuo quickly wrote on the paper, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then I will listen with all my ears."

Cheng Nuo poured new tea for the two of them again, and explained: "Because we don't recruit many people, the requirements are higher. Besides, we are only recruiting the guards of the Academy of Sciences. In fact, they are only janitors, and we don't need many people."

"Tang Sanzang went through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in obtaining the scriptures. If it were us, the reality is far more complicated than those monsters and ghosts in the drama. It may be more than eighty-one difficulties. What's more, you have to walk so many roads, which is very difficult."

Second, the height must exceed 1.5 meters;
Third, under the premise of carrying a heavy load, you can quickly march 20 miles in one hour;
Fourth, the age is between 20-25 years old;
Fifth, the ethnicity is Han, and smokers, alcoholics, rich young masters, and banner people are all rejected

"Three cobblers, Zhuge Liang is the best, you still have to continue to put forward your opinions." Cheng Nuo said with a smile.

Secondly, in terms of identity, we don’t have to stick to Han, as long as they are Chinese, have no bad habits or criminal records, we can open the door for them, equal pay for equal work, speak for their ability, and will not make any special requirements;
Finally, there is no big change in personal health. If you have some minor illnesses such as headache and fever, as long as they can be cured by our medical school, you can participate in the selection of our guard team. The outstanding ones can further study in the Academy of Sciences . "

Cai Yuanpei let out a long sigh. At the beginning, he also thought that after the revolution, the world would be turned upside down, but in the end, he just changed the soup but not the medicine, so he changed his path in frustration.

The so-called guards were of course only in name, and they only obeyed Cheng Nuo's orders in essence. In addition to maintaining the personal safety of the important targets of the Academy of Sciences, it was more important to perform some special tasks.A lot of manpower and material resources are bound to be invested in this, and everyone who can come in must be cautious.

Cheng Nuo had an inexplicable smile on his lips: "Why not? In the future, the plane will have a test flight and the ship will have a test voyage. We will do these by ourselves, and the experimental data will be more assured. As for the longer-term flight or naval school..."

And this is not an isolated case. Later, the ancestors of the cavemen who lived 3 years ago were investigated and found that they were generally taller than 165 centimeters. This was also the case in the later Neolithic period. After that, Qin and Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties , Even in some troubled times, the height of Chinese people has not fluctuated drastically.

Cheng Nuo refilled the kettle with hot water and closed the lid: "I wonder if Mr. Cai can give some suggestions. Regarding this aspect, I just have an idea for the time being, and the specific details are still being worked out."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Cheng Nuo cleared his throat, and said the last three changes: "First of all, in terms of age, it is adjusted to be between 16 and 20 years old. It’s good to tutor their education level, it’s not okay to be illiterate in the Academy of Sciences;

As far as modern society is concerned, among the 1985-year-old age group in our country from 2019 to 19, the average height of men increased by nearly 8 centimeters to 175.7 centimeters in the world. centimeters, both surpassing Japan and South Korea to become the No. 6 in East Asia.

Looking at the smoke curling up from the spout, Cai Yuanpei had memories on his face: "At that time, Yuan Xiangcheng changed the Dingwu Army to the "New Army" (i.e., the Beiyang New Army), and then set up infantry, infantry, Arms such as horses, artillery, workers, and supplies.

Cheng Nuo couldn't bear it any longer, and chuckled: "How could it be possible to treat our comrades like this? It's so inhumane?"

"What will happen?" Jiang Jiangzuo asked impatiently.

"When the time comes, everything is possible." Cheng Nuo deliberately put on a trick, and said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, our guards can go up into the sky, down into the water, and protect the comrades of our Academy of Sciences in the middle." Security, only these six requirements are not enough?"

Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing, maybe this is youth.

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "I think there must be a reason why Yuan Xiangcheng can borrow this elite soldier, but as time changes, the remaining three points also need to be changed."

But looking back at our thousands of years of history, what we call "becoming No. [-] in East Asia" is actually just "returning to No. [-] in East Asia", because in the past thousands of years, the Chinese have been No. [-] in East Asia for most of the time Height, even in the world, we have almost always stood out from the crowd with our height.

Jiang Jiangzuo poked his head over and asked, "1.5 meters five?"

Of course, only Cheng Nuo knew these thoughts. Even if Cai Yuanpei was sitting across from him, it was impossible for him to express all his thoughts.

Relying on these six requirements, Yuan Xiangcheng screened out more than 3000 new troops, started with this and gradually expanded the scale, and everyone knows what happened next. "

Cai Yuanpei discovered this, and after understanding what was going on, he smiled slightly and said, "Is 1.6 meters too high? Although we can recruit some people in this way, the number that meets the requirements will not be too many."

Jiang Jiangzuo hesitated to speak when he heard that the selection of the guard team should be more than 160 centimeters tall.

"Your task is very difficult, and it is related to the success of our flying achievements." Cheng Nuo suppressed a smile, and said seriously: "Be sure to be prepared on the ground to avoid injuries."

As for adult men in Europe, take Nordic, which is tall and burly in my impression, as an example. The average height of Swedish New Deal soldiers is 166 centimeters, which is not much taller than us at this time.During the Ming Dynasty, many missionaries came to the Ming Dynasty and claimed that the people of the Ming Dynasty were taller than the Europeans, which now seems to be true.

"Yes, yes, I felt something was wrong just now. It turned out that the requirements were too low. I went back to find other comrades and then added up the total." Jiang Jiangzuo quickly wrote down these things, and suddenly realized: "Select the best from the best, I think it's still worth it." A few more can be added.”

Sixth, be healthy and free from disease.

Cheng Nuo laughed and said, "You can't get the scriptures with just one leg. I haven't even touched the white dragon horse yet."

He said it lightly, but in fact he didn't know how many difficulties he had to face. Originally, Cai Yuanpei wanted to continue to persuade him, but seeing the positive and optimistic looks of the two, it was obvious that he didn't take these things very seriously.

After delivering Cai Yuanpei, Cheng Nuo took out a few more tea cakes and gave them to Jiang Jiangzuo, and said with a smile:

"Forget it, maybe there is really a way to get the scriptures and change the world."

Cheng Nuo said with a sassy smile: "Master Sanzang only has four masters and apprentices, plus a white horse, but we have a team of dozens of people, and it will increase to hundreds of people in the future. There are so many people behind us, so why not be afraid?" ?”

"Zhiyuan, you don't have any ideas about this, do you? The stall is too big." Cai Yuanpei also expressed disbelief.

Yuan Datou took advantage of this. In addition to the policy of elite soldiers, he also stipulated that the salaries of the new army should be fully disclosed, and no deductions were allowed. Every time the salaries were paid, they would be personally delivered to the soldiers.At that time, ordinary soldiers in the Beiyang New Army had a salary of 4.5 taels a month, so it was no problem to support a family.

Cheng Nuo looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Cai, are you talking about more than just tea?"

"Mr. Cai has already said that this white tea is a treasure among teas. Today I borrow flowers to present Buddha, and I will first comfort you."

That's why he can get the support of the Beiyang army, except that he basically doesn't obey anyone's orders, only knows that there is Yuan Datou, but not the imperial court.

Coupled with the impact of the Zhili flood, the physical condition of these young people is even worse. If you want to choose a suitable guard from this group of people, it is not easy. You'd better be mentally prepared. "

"No, more than 1.6 meters." Cheng Nuo said without thinking.

Hearing this last sentence, Cai Yuanpei earnestly warned: "Further study? Could it be that your academy of sciences is going to develop in the direction of military science, be careful that you will lose too much if you are too greedy!"

Jiang Jiangzuo asked: "What is that?"

After the establishment of the establishment, Yuan Shikai began to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the team and improve the combat ability of individual soldiers. For this reason, he put forward six requirements when recruiting soldiers.

"Tea is good tea, but few people drink it." Cai Yuanpei pushed the teapot to the middle of the coffee table and explained: "The ancients said, 'The rich do not learn literature, and the poor do not practice martial arts'. For children from poor families, it is usually It is not easy to have enough food in time, and physical development is generally not at the level that this age group should have.

For this reason, Cheng Nuo deliberately added: "I have no intention of asking politics. These are only used to protect the safety of teachers and students in the school, and to prevent thieves and bandits. I think I can still pick a batch.”

Cheng Nuo said with a cheerful smile: "When I come to drive in the future, I will definitely take Mr. Cai to look at the moon above the nine heavens, and see the magnificence above the blue sky and white clouds!"

Jiang Jiang Zuo Dun felt speechless: "The world is going down, and people's hearts are not old."

Jiang Jiangzuo nodded, and asked again: "Is there nothing else besides these three requirements?"

Jiang Jiangzuo hurriedly asked: "You are all going to heaven, what about me?"

Cheng Nuo nodded as he listened: "At this time, the physical fitness of the victims will not be much better, and their strength and endurance are far inferior to those in the army. Therefore, the first and third items can be appropriately lowered according to the actual situation. .

Taking Shandong people as an example, among a series of "cultural relics" unearthed from a certain site in the 20s, the bones of ancient people are particularly conspicuous, not to say how precious they are, but to say that these bones are generally relatively tall, with the highest up to 80 meters. More than 1.9 meters can be found everywhere, which is extremely stalwart.

First, raise both hands horizontally, able to lift a weight of 100 catties;

He knew it was a joke, but the word "injured" still aroused Jiang Jiangzuo's curiosity: "It's fine if you don't take me to the sky, but how can you still get hurt if you let me stay on the ground? Don't treat me as a living target. Bomb training?"

Jiang Jiangzuo said with a smile: "Right now we are busy arranging the pre-work preparations for building airplanes and ships, and recruiting these school workers, do we still want them to fly airplanes and ships?"

Considering our policy of elite soldiers, we did not recruit many people. The second item of height must be raised. For men, 1.5 meters is too low. "

Until the Qing Dynasty, thanks to the blessings of the Tartars, our height dropped to 161.5 centimeters, even worse than our ancestors' cavemen, and in the days to come, we were surpassed by Japan and South Korea one after another, how can people not hate teeth itching.

"Husbands are indomitable, success or failure is irrelevant. Very good, keep this momentum, and I will wave the flag to cheer for you!" Cai Yuanpei clapped his hands when he heard this, and suddenly laughed impassionedly: "If your plane really Will you take me on a tour one day when you go up to the sky?"

Cheng Nuo joked, "Look, the moon has been taken down, do you have to find someone to catch up on the ground to prevent any accidents?"

Jiang Jiangzuo took the tea cake and pursed his lips on purpose: "If the sky doesn't take me with me, the teapot won't hold the moon."

Cheng Nuo explained with a smile: "I don't take you with me, I let you fly solo. At that time, the teachers and students of the school will have to complete the initial training with the escort. Those who are interested can continue their studies. If you want to learn to fly, you don't need to ask for help."

In the future, there will only be more and more people in the Academy of Sciences. In this war-torn era, it is inevitable that there will be times when the guards are negligent. After preliminary training, these scholars will also have a certain ability to protect themselves and persist until the arrival of rescue forces.

As for airplanes, ships and the like, someone has to be able to drive them, and even advanced weapons have to be used by someone, so that they can play their due value.
