Xinshun 1730

Chapter 101 The Knowledge of Animal Husbandry and Crops

After five rounds of shooting, Tian Ping waved his hands and shouted: "The time is up. Go and see the target."

He rode his horse to the target and counted it, eight out of ten, which is already quite a good result.

Liu Yu was very satisfied, jumped off the horse and practiced rifle shooting, stone lock, etc. for a while, confirming that as long as these subjects are performed normally, there will be no problem.

A few good friends all came together. Although they don't form associations like literati, they can also discuss world affairs.

"Eight out of ten in riding and shooting. Brother Shou Chang's skill has become more and more superb. Just now when riding and shooting from left to right, few people can do it."

A person next to him who supports bow and arrow riding and shooting said with a smile: "Shooting the bow left and right is the real skill. Shooting the bow left and right is still a bit worse after all. Besides, brother Shouchang's skills are also considered high. It can be reloaded once, and it takes 1 minute. For a long time. If you meet an expert in riding and archery, hey, with the skills of riding and arching with one horse three times, Su Qin carrying a sword, etc., when Brother Shouchang is still loading, the arrowheads on his body are enough to hit two catties of fine iron."

However, Liu Yu threw the matchlock gun of the infantry on the ground indifferently, and said with a smile: "You are right. Is there a use for riding and shooting? Let me see. In the future Wude Palace exam, you should even ride Shooting is discarded. It has no effect. Besides, the content of the Martial Arts Palace assessment now needs to be changed."

Everyone knew that he was fond of Western studies, and they all joked: "If brother Shou Chang is the head teacher of the Martial Virtue Palace, isn't it going to be a Western study school?"

Liu Yu laughed, shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. It's just what Wude Palace is teaching now, neither fish nor fowl."

"Such as cavalry, infantry, stone locks, and swordsmanship, these are all skills required by elite soldiers."

"Wu Zi, Sun Tzu, Wei Liao and other books are the strategies needed by generals."

"Wu De Palace lacks the middle content. They are either elite soldiers or generals, but they lack the skills of many middle-level officers such as colonels and lieutenants."

"Although the art of war is ingenious, how many people can understand the true meaning of it? How many people really plan strategies with the general's brocade?"

This has been a problem since the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is martial arts or hereditary, the martial arts test is obviously to select elite soldiers, and they can be used as generals in Guanzhang if they wield swords at every turn.

However, just like what is sung in the "Song of the Vanguard" that has been spread these days, the guns shattered, and there was no more Zhao Guanzhang in the world.Even if a warrior who can wield a hundred-jin sword is selected, it seems that there will be no use for it on the battlefield in the future.

As for the books of Sun Tzu and Wu Zi...

It's not that it's bad, but it's not suitable as a textbook for middle-level officers.

Just like the scholar's theory of research and strategy, many people are in a high mood after seeing their grandson Wu Zi, thinking that fighting is just a joke.

The entire general training system is actually out of joint. The lack of the most important training for grassroots officers has made the combat effectiveness of the imperial army of the Beijing camp of all dynasties very problematic.

Grassroots officers trained by full-time military academies are the guarantee of combat effectiveness.At least it can be kept at the passing line, instead of being too high and low with the leader's ability, which is the so-called "army with control".

Not all of Wude Palace are idiots. When Liu Yu said this, his classmates who were not noble children immediately echoed: "Brother Shouchang is right. There are some things that are missing. Many things are coming to the army. Learn from it slowly.”

"Furthermore, in the imperial court, nobles were often used to command soldiers. However, nobles practiced as guards, and then came out of the town. Even if there is a family tradition, it lacks a lot of experience after all. Even though there are many nobles, But once the battle starts, there are very few that are really usable."

These few people expressed their opinions in a hurry, Liu Yu hesitated, and asked tentatively: "How about we write a book for the chief teacher together?"

Tian Ping leaned over and said, "There are so many people who boast and talk, let's not be such people who talk and talk. If you want to create something new, you don't have to break it first, but you have to create a new thing first, and then break it. Now it is the head teacher Xi Yun, If it is passed on to His Majesty, then if His Majesty asks: How should it be changed? What should be tested? What do you say?"

Several people nearby also felt that what Tian Ping said was reasonable.

It is easy to break, but difficult to create a new one.

Liu Yu just took the opportunity to stir things up, and didn't care whether it would be successful, but just took the opportunity to talk about the problem, so that everyone can think about it in the future.

Someone also shouted: "Brother Shouchang, if you can sort it out, we will follow you to study together. Anyway, we are going to finish our studies, and we will add more lessons, so that people who come later will worry about it, hahahaha..."

A group of people laughed. They didn't care anyway. This year, they were basically determined: either they were selected to enter the upper school, or they graduated from the inner school and went to middle-level officers. They didn't care about adding new courses in the future.

After talking for a while, Liu Yu looked at the sky, clasped his fists and said, "Okay, I'll go first. Anyway, we have enough time to brush up when we go out during our daily classes, so you can take your time here."

As soon as he said the words of asking for a beating, there was laughter and curses from the side.

"Brother Shouchang, where are you going?"

"Go to the Raksha captives and ask some questions. Ask them if they know what I said about the school and the lieutenants. It's easy to tidy up, isn't it?"

"Brother Shouchang is really worried about state affairs. Since you are the people captured by Brother Shouchang, beware of them harming you."

"Give them ten guts. They can't beat me on the battlefield, and dare to fight if they are captured? The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, where I stand now, they will definitely have lingering fears. Don't worry."

Under the envious eyes of the classmates who were still staying up in the daily class, he walked out of the gate of Wude Palace with his arms shaking, and came to Yang Erguan Hutong not far away.

Near the Yuewang Temple at the entrance of the alley, an Orthodox church is being built, and an Orthodox military priest who may have done church repair work before is building it with gestures and words.

A group of elite soldiers from the Boyer Army was stationed nearby, and the leader was also a soldier who had followed the Northern Expedition. He saw Liu Yu from a distance, and ran over to greet him first.

"Master Liu, what is this?"

"Hey, come and have a look. Why, you're not allowed to go?"

"How can it be? Your Majesty is only worried that the people will come to see the fun like monkeys, but he didn't say that no one is allowed to approach. What is Master Liu here for?"

"It's nothing, let's chat and learn some knowledge. If three of you are together, there must be my teacher."

"My lord is studious."

The officer was also afraid of accidents, turned around and yelled twice, and ran over to a few veterans who had followed Liu Yu to Yongning Temple.

"You guys follow Master Liu, if those Raksha people dare to make trouble, you will fight. Don't let them startle Master Liu."

"Thanks."

He cupped his hands and said thanks, and then asked: "Is that black-and-white guy here?"

The officer knew who Liu Yu was talking about, pointed to a hut with guards in the distance, and said, "It's over there."

"Where are those from the Rakshasa expedition that I took care of?"

"The hut inside is specially taken care of by His Majesty, and it is separated from those Cossacks."

"Yes, thank you very much."

After saying thanks, he took out a small piece of silver and handed it over. The officer put it away with a smile, and put Liu Yu and others inside.

As soon as he walked in, some Cossacks caught by Liu Yu pointed at Liu Yu, but they didn't dare to make too many moves.

These Cossacks were of various kinds, and there were many Tatars, Tungusians and even Jurchens who fled in the Amur Cossack regiment.

Although the appearance is still yellow-skinned, but whether it is beard or hairstyle, it is full of Cossack flavor.

Originally in history, the leader of the Daur people, Gentmoor, defected to Tsarist Russia to become a Cossack, which was also an inducement for the Battle of Yaksa.The Ghentmoor family was also knighted, and Motoeda also fought in the Russo-Japanese War and won the St. George Medal until he was executed by the Cheka after the October Revolution.

Now there are also several descendants of the tribal leader's family decades ago, but now they can't even speak their own language.

Liu Yu had no interest in these people, nor in Cossack cavalry tactics.

The Cossacks can be said to be the top hussar soldiers. The level of robbery, sneak attack, and harassment can make the emperor sigh. .This should not be the direction of Dashun's military training in the future.

The talents he was looking for were those who could raise horses, not those who could ride them.

He opened his mouth and shouted in improvised Russian, "Is there anyone who knows how to raise and breed horses?"

A Cossack with a bald head and a tuft of hair on his forehead emerged from the crowd and shouted, "Sir, I will. I used to be a horse breeder in the village community, and I have raised quite a few horses."

Liu Yu tilted his head and looked at it, somewhat disbelieving.

"Your family has raised a lot of horses? Then why did you go to Heilongjiang? I have never heard of anyone from a rich family in the village who went to make a fortune in the ice and snow."

"Sir, during the war with Ottoman more than ten years ago, our village was burned by Turkic barbarians. After the war, I came here to make a fortune."

Liu Yu looked at the lock of hair in front of this Cossack's bald head, and thought to himself, do you have the nerve to call someone a barbarian?

But this reason is reasonable. I asked the rest of the people, and the rest of the Cossacks also helped to say a few words.

"It's true what he says. The fellow is a good horseman."

"With him, there is no need for a stud or a horse. He can breed foals with mares by himself."

"Gerasim, your good days are coming. The Chinese general wants you to raise horses. Hey, the Chinese general, use him to raise horses. You have to take good care of your mare. Otherwise, you may A monster was born."

After roughly understanding these curse words, Liu Yu knew something in his heart. It seemed that this man named Gerasim should really be a horse breeder.

He took out the silver and threw it over, and shouted, "Gerasim, right? Drink a few good drinks, and your good life will come in a few days."

Gerasim took the silver, imitating the ridiculous Swedish etiquette, and thanked him by circling on the ground.

The guard who accompanied Liu Yu was familiar with Liu Yu and was very casual, so he asked, "Master Liu, what are you muttering about?"

"Hey, find Bi Mawen."

Journey to the West has long been circulated, the guard looked at it, shook his head and said: "The hair on the body is enough, but the height is a bit taller."

Liu Yu shook his head with a smile, and asked again: "Who is good at growing crops? Who can grow rye? Who has worked as a carpenter in the village? Who can tie hay?"

This time the Cossacks had given Gerasim silver before seeing Liu Yu, and at this moment they stood up one by one, saying that they were good at growing rye, and even showed Liu Yu the cocoons on their hands.

Liu Yu thinks he doesn't have the ability to breed. If he wants to emigrate in the Heilongjiang River Basin north of Liaodong, he must grow rye now.

Koreans can grow cold-resistant rice, but now they are mostly planted in Liaodong, Suifenhe Estuary, Vladivostok and other places, and it may not be able to grow it further north.

Although this stuff is not tasty, since the Russians can grow it in places like Yakutsk, it is definitely not a problem to grow it in the Heilongjiang River Basin.If you really want to emigrate to Shibian in the northeast, you can find a few good North Koreans who are good at farming in the future to teach the immigrants how to grow rice, and you can roughly solve the food problem in Shibian.

From among them, a few who played the loudest beep were randomly selected, rewarded with money, and left their names.

The remaining Cossacks who were not selected repeatedly called out their strengths. Some said they were good at equestrianism, and some said they knew how to use axes and spears. Liu Yu was not interested. He thought that this thing is for the emperor to use you to show the remoteness of the barbarians. Well, I can't use these crap.

After thinking about it, there was nothing available among these people, so Liu Yu first walked to the small courtyard where Bai Ling and others were under house arrest.There are indeed a few useful talents in it.
