Chapter 197 Speed ​​up the pace
"I don't want your property, I just need to bring out a few students with my heart, and their achievements are not inferior to yours. Zixian, Zhenzhi, Liangfu, you are also included. If the river water has not changed after ten years, I will lose to you." Each family has a hereditary first-class prince. If it changes, each person will hand over three students. Wang Chengen, help me write it down in the notebook. Anyone who refuses to pay will be guilty of deceiving the emperor and will have his family confiscated and the three clans will be destroyed!"

Not betting?That's not allowed. Not only do you have to gamble, but you also have to add Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao, and Wang Zheng who just followed. The more people there, the greater the advantage.If you ask what to do if you lose, bah, Hong Papi has never lost a bet before. You can't open the market without being [-]% sure.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if you lose. Ten years later, as long as these pioneers who created the Ming Dynasty's industrial era do not rebel and die, they will be rewarded with titles based on their merits. Telling them in advance is just a carrot hanging in front of them, urging people to work harder. .

"I have someone to be my student, but I don't know if it's suitable or not." After hearing Zhao Shizhen's description of the bet, Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng could only smile bitterly. Only Li Zhizao was serious and planned to take action immediately.

"Tell me about it?" Hong Taoshe took the trouble to make a bet, mainly because he wanted to find an excuse to send the talented little eunuch from the Cuju team to be a student. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an immediate success.

"Your Majesty should have seen this person. He is a monk named Xiong Sanba who followed Pang Di I to Beijing to be a saint. When Pang Di I returned to Macau, he left him under guard in the Europa Temple.

This man was young but was proficient in the Western calendar and water conservancy. He admired the textbooks written by His Majesty very much. He was even more shocked when he saw the map. He mentioned several times that he wanted to learn from his teacher, but I did not dare to agree casually. "

"You can accept it. Anyone can teach as long as he is willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. However, it is better not to contact various factories before finding out the details of this person. For the time being, he will put it in the Siyi Pavilion. He will go to the palace every ten days to teach the Cuju team at Beixiaochang. , we will decide in two years.”

As soon as he heard that it was the monk who followed Pang Di and I to Beijing, Hong Tao knew who it was.I have indeed seen him. He must be young, about 30 years old, with black hair and black eyes. He looks quite delicate, as if he is a missionary from Italy.

Should Europeans be exposed to this knowledge from later generations too early?Some are OK and some are not.It’s not that those who are not from my race will have different minds, but that I am not strong enough yet, and it would be harmful and useless to spread my special skills too early.

But it’s okay to reserve them as reserve talents. First get some basic knowledge and see if you have any talent in this area.If your plan can be implemented smoothly, it is also necessary to boldly absorb and use talents from all ethnic groups.

"By the way, how can the children of Nanhaizi be of great use now?"

When he mentioned talents, Hong Tao couldn't help but think of the hundreds of orphans in the Europa Temple.It has been five years in the blink of an eye. Even if the talent is not very good, there should be a few decent ones among the best.

"The oldest among them is already 17 years old. The classes are non-stop every day. There are many talented and intelligent people among them. The training officials are not clear about it."

The two Europa temples in the city and Nanhaizi are both managed by Li Zhizao, but he also manages the coking kiln and iron factory. Apart from regularly correcting the children's homework, he really can't take care of other aspects.

"This slave has never dared to slack off. A year ago, more than 70 adults were incorporated into the training camp to train with the Four Guards warriors, and their performance was excellent." At this time, Zhang Ran, the master of the imperial horse supervisor, quickly stepped forward and followed the emperor. Report quietly from behind.

"How many warriors are there currently in the training camp?" The so-called training camp refers to the group of grooms that Hong Tao secretly arranged to train in the Changping Imperial Manor after Hong Tao completely mastered the Royal Horse Prison.They are all loyal and brave people carefully selected from the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Camp. The initial number is set at 500, and they use the training outline drawn up by themselves. It will take three years, and I don't know what the results will be.

"Not counting the orphans who came later, there are only 399 people left. The servants will guarantee with their lives that they are all brave warriors who are loyal to the Lord Long Live!"

Zhang Ran knew quite a bit about these soldiers and generals appointed by the emperor, and he didn't dare to be vague at all. He came up with the exact numbers at the drop of a hat. If he didn't think it was convincing enough, he simply risked his life.

"What's the combat power?" Hong Tao just heard the remaining number of people and knew that they had not been lazy in the past three years, but the hard work alone was of no use, the main thing was to see the results.

"...This..." Zhang Ran was a little confused about how to measure combat effectiveness, and for a while he didn't know how to express it clearly.

"You served as a prison guard in Liaodong, and then went to Korea to fight against the Japanese. How does the training camp compare with the soldiers of the Liaodong Guards?" Seeing Zhang Ran's hesitation, Hong Tao also realized that his question was not very clear, and added A relatively clear standard has been adopted.

"If it's a field battle, it will be twice as strong if there are less than ten people, and three times if there are less than a hundred people. If you are defending a city, with the help of Long Live Lord's divine crossbow, you can defeat ten times the enemy!" Zhang Ran could answer it now, without even thinking about it, it was such a bullshit. The mountain sounds.

"... Then a group will be selected from the Tengxiang Four Guards, the Warrior Battalion, and the Nanhaizi Orphans to add in a total of 2000 people. The old will lead the new, and every 500 people will be in one battalion. They will take turns to go to the Admiral's Yamen to suppress bandits and follow the arrangements of Admiral Yuan." Is this an exaggeration?Hong Tao thinks not entirely.

Zhang Ran has been on the battlefield and has actual combat experience. Even if he brags, he won't brag too far.But he may only be able to command troops but not train them, so he overlooked one detail. Strong troops are not trained, but fought, and their accurate strength must be tested in actual combat.

But being in the capital and not part of the military system, the training camp had no chance to experience actual combat.How to do it?It's easy to solve. The answer lies in Yuan Keli's naval battleships and the land of Liaodong that is about to be abandoned.

With warships, the training camp can be easily sent to any seaside in Liaodong, and the abandoned military towns in Liaodong will soon be occupied by the Jurchen army.Isn't this just an opportunity for actual combat? No matter who the guard is, as long as it's not too far from the seaside, it will be the target of the training camp's attack.

If you can beat them, kill them all and burn them all. If you can't beat them, turn around and run away.As long as they can retreat to the seaside and board a ship, they will appear somewhere along the coast in a few days and then attack nearby towns.It doesn’t take much, just come to actual combat once or twice a month, and the purpose of training through combat will be achieved.

Divide 2000 people into four waves, and rotate one group in about two or three months. In just one year, they can become veterans with actual combat experience. It is very profitable to pay hundreds of casualties for this.

And these veterans are not ordinary soldiers, most of them will become middle and low-level commanders in the new army in the future.After training them well, when the time is right, they can be expanded to tens of thousands in half a year. They only need to conduct short-term training to have reasonable combat effectiveness.
