The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 470 Everyone Can Become a Soldier
With Ding Yi's school system, a young man from Dongjiang Town who graduates from university basically only learns simple mathematics, literacy, world maps, and domestic and foreign history, and then he can archery, horseback riding, and possess various professional skills.

The cultural level is estimated to be similar to that of the third and fourth grades of primary school students in later generations, and the skills are equivalent to vocational technical schools in later generations.

This is what Ding Yi urgently needs now.

As for scientists, physical chemistry and so on are not something he can think about now, nor can he cultivate them now.

Considering the balance when choosing a major, although there is no Confucianism specially trained to be an official, people of all majors have the opportunity to be civil servants after graduation.

After all, people in this era want to study to be an official, but Ding Yi does not rely on Confucianism, he can become an official by learning anything, so as to ensure that they can choose different majors.

In Dongjiang Town, the wages of craftsmen and shipbuilders are very high, which ensures that there are people to learn every major.

According to Ding Yi's reforms, Ding Yi has more than 40 people under his rule. Assuming that 2 students are counted, in a few years, there will be [-] professionals, and he can send thousands of talents to him every year.

When Li Shi and Hong Anshu heard Ding Yi's arrangement, their eyes lit up, and they were extremely impressed.

"Although we will be very hard and difficult in the early stage, once we get on the right track and continue like this, every year in the future, at least a few thousand talents will come out of our Dongjiang Town." Hong Anshu and Li sighed together.

"It's all talents who dare not say it, but I believe it can be used." Ding Yi laughed.

The two were amazed.

The biggest difficulty in building so many schools is teachers and courses.

Fortunately, Ding Yi has been operating here for many years and has been teaching and reading. Now there are many people who can be teachers to teach literacy and simple mathematics.

"Teach geography with a world map, and tell everyone that the world is big and the earth is round."

Europe already has a relatively complete world map at this time, and even Africa has been marked on it. Although it is not comprehensive enough, Ding Yi plans to make up for it by himself, complete the seven continents of the world, and then use the national standards that you should know to be able to use it as a map. For teaching materials.

This kind of class is also very simple, as long as students know that the earth is round and the specific location of each country is enough, many Ming people in the province think that only the Ming Dynasty is the largest in this world, and it is the kingdom of heaven.

Learning geography is to let them see that there is a vast territory beyond Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li mentioned the issue of the division of men and women into classes and courses.

Because before, when Song Zhe was there, men and women were divided into classes, and girls studied differently from boys.

According to Ding Yi's current requirements, elementary school must learn horse riding and formation, which may not be suitable for girls.

Ding Yi said that both boys and girls should learn in elementary school, queue and horse riding, as long as they learn, and they don’t need to learn too much.

And elementary school is not divided into classes.

There is no division of classes in middle school. There are more archery and blunderbuss in middle school. Girls learn to shoot blunderbuss. Boys have to learn both archery and blunderbuss. But if girls take the initiative to learn archery and shoot well, they can get extra points.

Mrs. Li and Hong Anshu looked at each other, so that in the future, under Master Ding's rule, everyone can become soldiers?
After college, majors are divided into classes, which is basically equivalent to class division. Girls are given priority in studying doctors, teachers, logistics, farming, etc., and boys are given priority in learning how to make guns and cannons.

Ding Yi asked the two to organize the teachers of the school to prepare the course materials first, select the teachers, build the school, and after all the courses and teachers are selected, report to Ding Yi for review. He may add or delete some materials.

The two agreed one by one.

This school reform is huge, and with the addition of a large number of new schools, it is estimated that it will take two to three years or even longer to fully complete.

After such a reform, the literacy classes of the former army will no longer exist.

But Ding Yi has been fighting against illiteracy all these years, and basically more than [-]% of the army can read.

In the future, it will be transferred to the training department.

The purpose of the establishment of the training department before was to retrain the officers who were promoted, and at the same time let Ding Yi know each other and meet the new officers.

Some people are promoted several times a year, so there is no need to train so many times.

In the future, teachers will be selected to go to the training department, and they will be mainly responsible for literacy education for the officers. As before, each officer has to go in for a month every year, and they don't need to enter after passing the exam.

Literacy for sergeants is carried out by each department itself, with one class every five days.

Two days later, a group of boats returned from Japan. Fran, Shen Zhixiang, and Xu Erxian, who went to Japan to sell guns and cannons, returned home again. In addition to bringing a large amount of mines, they also brought a message.

His father-in-law, Matsuba Nobunaga, wanted to see Ding Yi and had important matters to discuss. In addition, Ding Yi's son, Matsuba Nobunaga, was about to turn two years old.

Nobunaga Matsuba?When Ding Yi heard the name of his Japanese son, he was speechless for a long time.

It is said that Song Buronshin got the name, and he never asked Ding Yi. Looking at the name, Song Buronshin had a big idea.

I also have a son in Japan?Ding Yi's mood suddenly changed very strangely.

He didn't go to Japan all the year round, and only now remembered that he still has a son in Japan.

Zheng Zhilong also has a son who lives in Japan. Ding Yi thought he was a little cold before, but now that he thinks about it, he is similar to Zheng Zhilong.

Looks like I'm going out again?
In November 1633, Ding Yi stayed at Shang Kexi and led 11 troops to garrison Ishijian Yinshan. At that time, it was agreed that it would be rotated after two years.

Not only is it still gratifying to come back, but the soldiers and horses over there have been away from Lushun for two years, and they have to come back, otherwise, after a long time, people's hearts will be easily confused.

Ding Yi immediately decided that it is gratifying to transfer Xu Bicheng's two thousand soldiers and horses in exchange for the same two-year rotation.

Lushun will prepare in September, depart at the end of October, and arrive in Japan in November, so the rotation is gratifying.

And now that Beigou City has been built, Houjin can basically be blocked in Gaizhou, and Ding Yi can go out again.

So in mid-August of the eighth year of Chongzhen, not long after Beigou City was built, Ding Yi called a meeting of the generals.

When the meeting started this time, Ding Yi asked Ruan Siqing to speak first.

Ruan Siqing pointed to the sand table map on the table and said: "After the Dutch occupied Dayuan (Taiwan), they built a Zeelandia city. The first phase was completed in 1632, and it is still being perfected. There is also Luo Min on the other side of the sea. West Fort--"

All the generals at the scene suddenly had different expressions, as if they had sensed something.

Ruan Siqing stayed in Dayuan for nearly half a year, spent three months in Zeelandia, and traveled all over the west and north of Dayuan for two months.

According to him, Zheng Zhilong's immigrants now occupy the north and west, mainly hoarding land, but he has not established an effective administrative organization, so the management there is not like Daming Prefecture, and most of them are handled by local immigrants themselves.

At present, there are about 1 people in the north, about 2 people in the west, and about 3 people from the Ming Dynasty in Quanzhou and other places.

The Netherlands has about 1500 troops in the city of Zeelandia in the southwest, and it changes every year, because it is not an official Dutch army, but a company organization. The benefits of the superior officers are very good, and the salaries of the low-level soldiers are very low. Many people are often off duty , do not stand guard, go everywhere to make money, the organization and discipline are a bit poor, and the phenomenon of Dutch soldiers fleeing directly to the coast of Fujian and not returning.

The Dutch used a large number of fields to lure the Ming people to immigrate, and used grain to lure the aborigines to plant sugar cane for them to make grain. At present, more than 1 people are around the city of Zeelandia.

A few years ago, the Dutch were mainly engaged in trade. As Zheng Zhilong dominated the sea, they compromised with Zheng, obtained trade routes and permission, and began to launch a war of conquest in Daxuan.
