New Shun 1730

Liu Sheng's metaphor made Liu Yu feel like he had spit out half a fly from his mouth, making him feel nauseated.

But if I think about it again, it seems that is really what happened. The emperor used it to do some business, so he could finally accept it, thinking that this could be regarded as bearing the humiliation.

Now that his name was correct and his words were correct, the emperor was so anxious to ask him to prepare for the examination and selection questions, and Liu Yu felt much more at ease.

Whether it is the new army or the newly established navy, he should be in charge.

Before the policy discussion, he had already chosen the location where the naval school would be established.

Navy, navy, must have sea.

He thought about using North Korea and Japan to break the situation, and naturally thought of a place.

Liugong Island.

The shame of the Sino-Japanese War and the hatred of the Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1899 will naturally lead to blood for blood. If we fall on Liugong Island, we must also stand up on Liugong Island.

Liugongdao Naval Academy...well, very exciting.

Liu Yu also plans to organize and train the New Army Army in Liugong Island.

The island is not big, and it is separated by the sea. If you want to go out and see the colorful world, you can't.

Just like what Kang Busao said, the style of frontier poems can be used to tell the country's strength from the side. Whether the new army is strong or not can be seen from the side without having to fight.

For example, when Yuan Shikai organized and trained the new army, when ordered to cause trouble, they did not even know how to smash, smash, and loot. They foolishly carried out the military orders, occupied key points in the city, and then did not know what to do...

If it weren't for the guidance of the Huai Army's big brother, they wouldn't even have the experience to be soldiers and ruffians. If we can train such an army, it will be considered a strong army at this time.

A place like Liugong Island that is isolated from the mainland is just right.

As for the emperor asking him to write the questions, there is no formal appointment yet, but there is nothing to consider when he is responsible for setting the questions.

What's the test?

None of the new students in the Butoku Palace knows how to sail.

The exam questions are not the key, the key is the selection of talents.

Although the emperor asked him to do this, the emperor would definitely choose to show kindness and make him loyal. When the time comes, the emperor would definitely meet the person he selected in person to let him know that he is the disciple of the emperor.

Thinking of this, I became impatient.

I didn't care to look at what else was written in Tian Zhenyi's pamphlet. I packed up and went straight to Yang Erguan Hutong where Rakshasa prisoners lived.

Bering and others were wearing civilian uniforms embroidered with egret patches.

There are also several Rakshasa people in there. They pronounce the word with a big tongue and cannot pronounce Liu, so they simply pronounce it as You. Over and over again, the good "Liu Yu" turns into the "squid" in the Rakshasa people's mouths.

The name was really unpleasant, so Liu Yu simply asked the Rakshasa people to call him "Yuri".

Bailing and others bowed awkwardly, Liu Yu returned the bow, and then heard good news.

"Yuri, the expedition ship is back. The emperor left some people and sailors behind and sailed from the Heilongjiang estuary along the coastline all the way around North Korea. Unfortunately, there were no professional surveyors and they just drew some simple coastline maps."

This is indeed good news. Although a perfect map of the coastline has not been drawn, at least it can be confirmed that Sakhalin is an island and not a peninsula. Finally, an exploration has begun.

The ship is not big, but it can be repaired and repaired, and it can be used as a training ship.

Thinking that his harvest in Heilongjiang was still great, Liu Yu was in a good mood, so he invited these batches to receive the sixth-grade official uniform. However, they were not actually sixth-grade officials, but only enjoyed the sixth-grade official salary, and they could not figure it out. "Foreign officials" had a meal together.

We were enemies in the beginning, and we could humiliate them however we wanted.

Now he needed to borrow their help, so Liu Yu didn't look for trouble. Considering the taboos and taboos, he took this group of Orthodox Christians to find a place where they could drink and went back to the restaurant...

After a few glasses of wine, they all communicated in Latin, and there was no need to reveal any secrets.

Liu Yu talked about training naval officers.

It only took the Russians thirty or forty years to evolve from sampans and human-powered paddle boats to sailing battleships.

Bering and others witnessed with their own eyes the development of the Russian Navy from scratch. Some of them were learned by their elders who had been to Venice, France, and the Netherlands.

Generally speaking, everyone doesn't quite understand what the quality of Dashun's officers is.

"Yuri, if all your young people were like you, there would be no need to take any more tests. All you need to do is get on the ship and do an internship. In one year, you will know everything."

"If I were the captain, you only need to submit sailing records and observation reports to me every week. Organize the sailors to clean the deck, learn to hang sails, catch mice, observe the wind direction, and organize the rigging."

This was Bering's answer.

Liu Yu asked others again, and the answers were all similar. Officers of the most powerful navy in Europe basically enter through the back door. In fact, the real learning is on the ship.

It's just that the promotion system is relatively strict. It's easy to get on board, but it's difficult to become a full-time employee.

After thinking about the average level of the new generation of Wude Palace, Liu Yu said: "These young officer candidates, well... have a rough understanding of surveying and mapping. They understand simple geometry and simple trigonometric functions. There should be no problem."

Hearing this, Bering looked at Liu Yu in surprise and asked: "Such students can get on the ship directly. Do you want them to learn more? Even in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, such a candidate officer has to What you do is to learn everything on the ship, and after passing the examination, you will be promoted to a full-time officer, right?”

"Are you using the same standards as explorers and legendary captains to demand military academy students?"

Not only Bering, but everyone at the table was puzzled.

The Russian Navy has taken shape, and they have all experienced it. They know very well what the level of sailors and officers is.

The Russian Academy of Sciences is very powerful, but the basic education is very poor, and it all depends on a group of geniuses.

Even for the current European naval powers, according to what Liu Yu said, knowing geometry and simple surveying and mapping can actually be on board as interns.

What surprised them was that Dashun had such a talent pool, why was the navy so bad?

Could these reserve officers all be transferred from the artillery?

Liu Yu was a little unsure and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure. It takes about five years to go from a naval trainee to an officer. And these things cannot be learned on the shore."

"If you want an excellent captain, cartographer and explorer, then you may need a foundation like yours. But if you just want a group of naval officers, you don't need a foundation like yours at all. You only need a foundation in geometry and surveying."

"The Naval Academy in St. Petersburg only teaches arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, astronomy, artillery and surveying."

What these people said was similar. Liu Yu pondered for a while and asked, "Then what about the use of the sextant?"

"You know geometry and surveying, but you don't know how to use the sextant?"

"Uh..."

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed.

Now it seems that the legacy left by Li Guo is extremely rich, much richer than he thought.

It's just that although the person is dead, the politics are still there, and no one knows how to turn this rich legacy into power.

The only advantage is that Dashun's artillery is not backward, but other than that, these students of Wude Palace either become officers or civil servants, and have not formed a new navy.

After asking more questions and contacting Du Feng, who he is familiar with, he has a rough idea in his mind.

What Bailing and others think is still different from reality.

Students like Du Feng understand geometry and must take the "Surveying Methods", but they have never been exposed to more systematic naval knowledge.

There is a foundation, but the shortcomings are, such as the use of sextants, wind speed measurement, star map recognition, etc., and the "Surveying Methods" are just simple geometry application skills.

It seems that the course can be streamlined and mainly practiced?

In this case, it doesn't matter what is tested? The important thing is that anyone who can be admitted to Wude Palace must pass the geometry and triangulation surveying application.

So... can we pick a group of this year's failed students from the good families of the old fifth battalion?

He asked Bailing and others carefully again and learned that the warships are divided into officers and non-commissioned officers.

For example, chefs, gunners, carpenters, etc., have different growth paths from the captain.

Can the failed students from good families in the old fifth battalion be used as trainee non-commissioned officers? And let the students of Wude Palace be trainee officers?

The upper three quarters are in the capital, and the camp school is also a three-quarter system. Du Feng, whose father has meritorious service and he himself is not a soldier of the old fifth battalion, can take the exam directly.

Those who are qualified to take the exam for Wude Palace in the three-quarter system of the camp school, although their level is a little poor, should be enough to take the responsibility of trainee non-commissioned officers, right?

Thinking about the things that Wude Palace tests, he complained to his classmates at the beginning: Either it is what the marshal should learn, such as Sun Wu Sima Liutao; or it is elite soldiers, riding, spearmanship, and archery... It is not a middle-level officer.

If you want to run a grassroots officer school for the navy, you don’t need to learn Sun Wu Sima Rangju, nor do you need to learn riding, spearmanship, and archery.

The focus of the exam should be on geometry, measurement, arithmetic, and logical thinking application.

Those who failed to pass the Wude Palace exam may be very strong in these aspects, but not in other aspects, and have not achieved comprehensive development.

There must be talents among these people.

They may not be good at riding, but poor riding skills obviously have no necessary connection with whether they can calculate trigonometric functions and measure latitude.

After dinner, after seeing off Bai Ling and others, Liu Yu thought about it carefully and determined that his judgment should be correct.

Therefore, this time, two sets of questions should be set.

The first set of questions is to select candidate officers.

The second set of questions is to select candidate non-commissioned officers.

The new students of Wude Palace only use the first set of questions.

The failed students in the camp school should first use the first set of questions to select talents, and then use the second set of questions to select the inferior ones to serve as candidate non-commissioned officers.

There are at least a few hundred good families in the 120,000 households of the Old Fifth Camp who can enter the camp school.

Thinking about what Bai Ling and others said, Liu Yu couldn't help but mutter that he took the compulsory education level of future generations as his current goal, and there was something wrong with his brain.

"Damn, this legacy is really rich. Did Dashun cry poor all these years while guarding the treasure mountain? Or did the emperor use his brain to balance it?"

"It will benefit future generations."
