Chapter 240 There is no one to teach?

April [-]th, Chenshi, outside the town.

Zhang Cheng held the hand of Zhenfu He Biao, and said, "Brother He, I will leave all of our wealth to you."

He Biao still had a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "General, don't worry, with me, He Biao, there will never be any mistakes!"

Zhang Guangda on the side also stepped forward and said, "General, I have all gone to the North Road. There are still many family members of the soldiers who want to follow us."

Zhang Cheng patted Zhang Guangda on the shoulder, and said, "I don't know exactly what the North Road is like. Let's find a way to pick up all the soldiers and their families after we settle down on the North Road."

Zhang Guangda nodded, and then called out to He Shihui who was standing beside Zhang Cheng: "He Shihui, you have to put some thought into Zhencheng, our brothers left their lives in Julu, and those of us who are alive have to save them." Take good care of your family."

He Shihui responded in a deep voice, and Zhang Guangda asked Zhang Cheng again, "General, let's leave you another cavalry team. The road will be safer."

"No, there are few people on my side, and they come and go quickly. Unlike your side, there are many cars and horses, so pay more attention to the sentry on the road. In a few days, I will chase you."

…………

Inside Xinzhuang Fort, Zhang Cheng, He Shihui and others who stayed behind were discussing in the main hall of the north courtyard. The gangster Dacheng, the scholar Wang Yuanjing, Zhuangtou Hu Siwang, Ma Zhongli and others were also in the house.

In addition, Chen Zhong, Lin Fangping, Liu Jinhai, Dahou, Su Yiyang, Liu Youhao and others were also here. Zhang Cheng had to make the final arrangements for staying behind, and then he had to go back home to say goodbye to his mother and aunt.

In the lobby, Zhang Cheng said: "He Shihui, the person who takes you as the principal here in the town will give you an official status of a hundred households, and it will be convenient for you to travel around."

Seeing that his former brothers had all gone to Shangbei Road, He Shihui was still a little bit reluctant. At this time, he was very happy to hear that he would also be promoted to Baihu. From now on, I will do my best and repay you with all my heart!"

Zhang Cheng smiled, and said again: "Shihui, you don't need to participate in other affairs here in the town, just keep these few farms and take care of the two old ladies in the city.
Small things are up to you to decide. For things you cannot decide, just go to the two old ladies for instructions.

On weekdays, put in more effort to train the two hundred young men selected from the farm to become a strong soldier as soon as possible. I only leave you here with one hundred armors, twenty blunderbusses, and twenty bows. Fifty shields and two hundred sabers, and a hundred spears,

These are almost all captured when I was waiting for King Qin. Although they are not new, most of them are well-made, and they are enough for your use.

After I go to Shangbei Road, you have to do more filial piety for us, go to the mansion every two days to say hello to the two old ladies, and choose ten of the twenty elite riders you brought back from Changping. A clever one, staying in the mansion to guard,

The remaining ten people will be organized into your [-] new army and serve as armor commanders. Each person will be responsible for training [-] new soldiers. ,
This time, I brought [-] war horses and [-] mules and horses from Wanquan Dusi. The original war horses, mules and horses here should be kept in the horse farm expanded outside Xinzhuang Castle for feeding. "

He Shihui received the order loudly and stepped aside.

Zhang Cheng continued: "Wang Yuanjing, you also stay here at Xinzhuang Fort for the time being. You were supposed to teach those 38 young soldiers in the boy battalion how to read.

You have to work harder, teaching the children's camp to read in the morning, and in the afternoon to teach He Shihui's [-] new sergeants and Su Zhenxiang's [-]-strong women's team to read. "

Wang Yuanjing originally had no objection to Zhang Cheng's assignment, he was still very bookish, his life was saved by Zhang Cheng, and he had already made an oath to follow Zhang Cheng's command in the future, so he would wholeheartedly assist him.

Later, knowing Zhang Cheng's various arrangements, especially Zhang Cheng's return to Xuanzhen, he vaguely felt that Zhang Cheng was by no means a stickler for the rules, so he naturally obeyed Zhang Cheng's arrangements.

But now he heard that he was not only teaching children to read, but also two hundred new soldiers, especially those women who were asked to read, which made him a little unacceptable.

He hastily got up from his seat and murmured: "General, this... this... this woman...how can you teach me?"

In fact, what Zhang Cheng said just now shocked not only Wang Yuanjing, but also He Shihui, Su Zhenxiang, even Chen Zhong, Ma Zhongli, Feng Yuanshan and others.

Teaching ordinary sergeants is enough to surprise everyone in the hall, but Zhang Cheng actually wants Wang Yuanjing, a scholar, to teach women how to read and write?
This is indeed far beyond their understanding of this society.

Zhang Cheng smiled, he also knew that he had some things, and he was really anxious, but time did not allow him to take his time.

He got up and said loudly: "Wang Yuanjing, you are also a student of Confucianism, have you forgotten the words of the sages?"

When Wang Yuanjing was asked by Zhang Cheng, he was a little stunned, bowed his head and began to ponder, and the rest of the people didn't know what Zhang Cheng said about the words of the sages, and all of them just watched Zhang Cheng, waiting for him to continue.

"Confucius once said, there is no discrimination in teaching!
Wang Yuanjing, you really read the books of sages in vain.

Regardless of children, soldiers, or healthy women, everyone, regardless of gender, should read and read!

Only reading can make them understand things and know loyalty. Those children must be literate so that they can be used by the generals in the future.
Wouldn't it be a mistake for a general to lead dozens or even hundreds of soldiers without knowing the military report?
No matter those children, or soldiers, or healthy women, they all start to learn from the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic.
The first is literacy, followed by knowing the meaning of words, being able to write and read military orders, and writing newspapers.
Not only do they need to be literate, but from now on, all the soldiers under my general's command must learn to read and write. This is an important item in the evaluation and promotion of generals.

Everyone should remember this! "

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they all became deep in thought, especially Wang Yuanjing and Su Yiyang were the most shocked. One of them is a scholar, and the other has studied in a private school for five years, all of which is the importance of reading and literacy.

However, there is no general in the various armies of the Ming Dynasty who would take this matter so seriously. In their eyes, it is enough to serve as a soldier and eat food, and be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield. What is the use of literacy?
But Wang Yuanjing and Su Yiyang deeply felt that Zhang Cheng's move must have great meaning. If it is really carried out in this way, they can't imagine what will happen in the end, but they just vaguely feel that following Zhang Cheng will never be wrong!

Zhang Chengfang, Zhang Chengxin's godson, heard this and secretly made up his mind that he must learn to read well, practice hard with instructor Zhilin, and in the future, he will become a majestic general just like his adoptive father!
