Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 105 Meeting
Seeing that Wu Youping was a son of a merchant, Zhang Yuqing didn't make things difficult for him and called him to his face.

"I've said many times that as long as merchants abide by the law and pay taxes on time, there is absolutely no danger in Lin'an. Go back and tell shopkeeper Wu that you don't need to worry."

Wu Youping reached out his hand and took out a few books from his bag, and said sincerely: "The Taoist Master once ordered people to spread a few books in Lin'an City. After the students read them, they admired the master's knowledge. It’s because I have some doubts and want to ask for advice in person.”

Zhang Yuqing was astonished when he heard the words, and looked at Wu Youping again. Seeing that the young man looked calm and unafraid, he couldn't help but smile a little on his face, and said softly, "I don't know what questions you have?"

Wu Youping didn't try any more, and went straight to the point: "I don't know how the Master Taoist governs Lin'an."

"Student Wu is a native of Lin'an, and he is knowledgeable. He also has some ideas. Why don't you talk about it?"

Wu Youping pointed out the advantages of Lin'an, which is rich in natural resources and can develop rapidly with both industry and commerce.

At this moment, the subordinates reported again, "Report to Master Daozi..."

"Okay. I see." Zhang Yuqing stood up, "This is the first time I have met young people who read my books. I will invite you when I am free in the near future."

Wu Youping hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Yuqing, "Teacher Taoist." He blushed suddenly, and said expectantly, "I would like to serve Master Taoist."

Zhang Yuqing patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "We welcome all like-minded people!"

After Wu Youping left, Zhang Yuqing told Lu Zhixin: "Send someone to investigate this person. If he is reliable, he can be recruited as a cultural teacher."

Lu Zhixin looked at the business card and showed a slightly surprised expression.

Everyone at the meeting knew the importance of education. Even if they didn't know it before, Zhang Yuqing's second step in forming a team was to recruit cultural teachers, and they all understood Zhang Yuqing's emphasis on education.

The next day, Wu Youping excitedly waited until the afternoon before someone came to invite him to the Temple of Longevity.

After entering the Temple of Longevity, there were not many people inside.After being led into an empty room with only a table and three chairs, one of the two people sitting opposite the table stood up.

He stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Youping, "Hi, I'm Lu Zhixin. I have a few questions."

Lu Zhixin's voice was deep and steady, just listening to it made Wu Youping feel at ease.

After the three were seated, Lu Zhixin asked him one by one whether he was married, his parents' names, ages, and other family members' information starting from his family situation.

But the subsequent inquiries made Wu Youping uncomfortable. The people Wu Youping had befriended and some of the more famous things he had done were all under the inquiry.Even Wu Youping had forgotten many things, and he suddenly remembered them when he was asked about them.

Seeing Wu Youping's unsightly face, Lu Zhixin smiled and said, "Don't worry. We have all been subjected to such scrutiny."

"We?" Wu Youping was a little sensitive to this word.

Lu Zhixin nodded, "Of the three people in the room, two of us have undergone all inspections. You are accepting."

After listening to Lu Zhixin's narration, Wu Youping understood that the censorship he was facing was equal to Zhang Yuqing's expectations.It's totally worth enduring.

However, Wu Youping found that he still underestimated the review.

Even if he was prepared and confident, Wu Youping felt that if the investigation continued like this, all his family secrets would be known.

Wu Youping's overall feeling is getting worse and worse, and his answering speed is getting slower and slower.

After finally finishing the inquiry, I wrote a biography.

Lu Zhixin took out the ink pad and asked Wu Youping to put his fingerprints on all the places where his name and time were written.

Wu Youping felt as if he was signing a deed of sale, halfway through, but he couldn't help himself, Wu Youping stopped and asked, "Why do you want to do this?"

"The organization must ensure that you are reliable." Lu Zhixin replied frankly.

"Reliable?" Wu Youping didn't quite understand.

"For example, someone pretends to be your relative, or someone falsely accuses you. These files are the basic evidence for the investigation.

Those people play tricks on recent events, and they have all kinds of recent evidence, so it is easier to figure it out.If you accuse you of the past, after a long time, you will forget what you have done. Those people rely on their memory or hearsay, and there must be various discrepancies.But the archives don't forget.

Check the files and the files of the personnel involved in the incident, and you can see the clues after comparing them. "

Lu Zhixin's voice is deep and pleasant, which can soothe the listener's emotions.However, Wu Youping felt a little terrified.

That's right, the files are written in black and white, and fingerprints are placed on key places, so it is very difficult to tamper with.This also ensures that the things written in the files are recorded, and if they tell lies when writing the files, they will also be found out.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Youping suddenly felt relieved, raised his finger with ink on it, and Wu Youping continued to press the fingerprint.

After finishing the file record, Lu Zhixin did not take it away directly, but put the file back in front of Wu Youping, and asked him to make a final confirmation whether there was any deviation in the content.

As Wu Youping read, he felt a little dazed.The life I have already experienced is presented on paper, and I really have an indescribable feeling.

Wait for Wu Youping to finally write down the signature and date of 'I guarantee that all the contents are true'.Pressed the last fingerprints.

Lu Zhixin put away the files and took out another piece of paper with questions already written on it. He asked, "Are you writing the answers yourself, or should we ask them one by one?"

"This... Let's ask." Wu Youping really didn't want to write any more.

When the review was finally completed, Wu Youping only felt quite depressed.

I thought I could flex my muscles, but I didn't expect that it would be such an experience head-on.

But after a while, Wu Youping remembered the conversation with Zhang Yuqing again, and his heart slowly warmed up again.

The next day, someone came to see Wu Youping's father, Wu Qingshan.

Wu Youping saw that it was Lu Zhixin who came.

Seeing that Wu Youping was at home, Lu Zhixin said, "I'm sorry, according to the regulations, please avoid it temporarily during home visits."

"This..." Wu Youping was very helpless.

Lu Zhixin smiled and said: "If you pass the review, Wu will also participate in the review of new recruits in the future.

At that time, you knew that it was not only embarrassing for the person being censored, but also embarrassing for the censored object's incomprehension. "

Wu Youping smiled wryly.He didn't know if Lu Zhixin was embarrassed.But Wu Youping was even more embarrassed when Lu Zhixin said that.

"When Daozi Zhangjiao sent me, let me invite you to see him.

If classmate Wu has nothing else to do at this time, why not go to see Zhangjiao Daozi first? " Lu Zhixin gave a suggestion.

Seeing Zhang Yuqing, before Wu Youping could confirm whether he complained a little, Zhang Yuqing had already said, "You came just in time. I have a question to ask."

"...Teacher Daozi, is this part of the review?" Wu Youping asked cautiously.

Zhang Yuqing did not hide it, "Yes. It is still a very important part. This involves your basic position."

"May I ask what question Master Daozi wants to ask?"

"Is the owner of the factory and the workers employed in the factory very important?"

"Yes."

"So, if there is a trade-off between the two, who do you think is more important?"

Youping didn't know how to understand this question for a while, and he couldn't find the answer after thinking about it.

"All members who joined must answer this question." Zhang Yuqing stared at Wu Youping.

Hearing what Zhang Yuqing said, Wu Youping simply let go of his heart, "I think it's a worker,"

Wu Youping wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted.

"Okay. I'm fine." Zhang Yuqing replied.

Wu Youping hurriedly asked, "Have I passed?"

"You haven't finished other inspections yet, how do I know if I can pass it?"

"Teaching Daozi is really managed by the system." Wu Youping sighed.

After chatting with Zhang Yuqing, Wu Youping was at a loss when he went home to see his father.

He didn't want to drag his father into his affairs if he could.Not knowing how to explain it to his father, he heard his father Wu Qingshan say, "Let's have dinner." Neither father nor son brought up the topic of censorship.

Two days later, Zhang Yuqing called Wu Youping to the headquarters.As soon as I entered the meeting room, I saw many people standing inside.

Zhang Yuqing asked: "Wu Youping, let me ask you formally, do you join voluntarily?"

A burst of intense joy welled up spontaneously. Wu Youping only felt that the haze of the previous few days dissipated instantly, and quickly responded: "Yes, I volunteered."

"it is good."

Amid the applause, Zhang Yuqing continued, "Next, let's introduce myself."

…………

Zhang Yuqing was writing at his desk in the house.

Outside the window, the sound of orders for closed training and the voices of Taoists responding in unison came into the house.

Even if a team of 500 Taoists is divided into two brigades, the sound is enough to pass through the wall of the old camp in the city, causing passers-by to stare at it.

As for the room next to the training ground, I could hear it more clearly.

Zhang Yuqing turned a deaf ear to it, and Lu Zhixin and others came in after the morning practice.Zhang Yuqing didn't even look up.

The Taoists saw that the table was full of manuscripts and wanted to help clean it up.Only then did Zhang Yuqing raise his head, "Don't move. I put it here for easy access and modification."

After nailing a written training schedule to the wooden board on which the map was hung, Zhang Yuqing continued to introduce: "The purpose of training Dao soldiers is not to simply complete the training content.

Whether it is disciplinary training such as queue drills, or the standardized management of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, or you set an example, it is all about trying to let the soldiers know what is a soldier and what is a soldier's life.Military life is completely different from ordinary life of civilians.

It's not that you become a soldier just by pulling a strong man. A soldier must start with every detail. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhixin has adjusted his somewhat sloppy sitting posture back to a well-behaved military posture.

Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly and continued: "The training for recruits takes about one month. Those who can obey the discipline and master the basic content of military life are qualified recruits. The recruits will be assigned to various units and start physical training."

"Physical training requires good food and adequate nutrition. Train a healthy body that can complete the content of the military technical training later.

From the last stage, literacy begins.

You need to work closely with cultural teachers to apply what you have learned to improve the cultural level of recruits.An army without culture is ineffective.

Learning cultural knowledge is a part of military life. "

The Taoists all knew that this matter was very troublesome, so they just nodded, but did not ask any questions.

"Physical training is about one month. The next stage is daily training, including daily weapon training and gunpowder weapon training. It is musket operation. There is also bomb throwing training. The last stage of this stage is live ammunition training."

"During this stage, it is necessary to establish a teaching team as the tactical application center of the entire army.

The teaching team has all the weapons and equipment, and is responsible for the two tasks of technical and tactical training and research and development.

The gunners in the ordinary army are not trained in their own army, but in the teaching team for training.

Ordinary troops conduct training in this unit, including rifles and bombing.After completing this part of the training, you can be called an army capable of shooting guns. "

Understand discipline, have a sense of honor, organize shooting, and arrange machine gun positions. Although this kind of army is not advanced in the current world, at least it is not the worst.

Possessing discipline and a sense of honor are qualities of a true military.

"After completing the daily training, the troops should start training. Check whether the troops can maintain the daily combat level at any time during the long march. After confirming that they are qualified, they will enter the actual combat training."

Lu Zhixin was very surprised, "Headmaster Daozi thinks those previous trainings were not actual combat training?"

Wu Youping sighed: "Teacher Daozi said that those were just daily training. It's just that the daily training has reached this level, even if it is to fight against the Six Towns of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be defeated."

The other Taoists looked at Wu Youping, and Wu Youping asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

No one said anything.

Taoist people knew that one day the banner of rebellion would be set off, but they didn't expect Wu Youping to say it so frankly.

Zhang Yuqing has no interest in this and continues his teaching work: "Tactical training includes civil engineering work on various terrains, class tactics, platoon-level tactics, and battalion-level tactical training. At this stage, the basic tactical differences between the armies of various countries are I can see it.

The basic tactic I designed is that three Taoists form a combat team, and a squad consists of three combat teams and a squad leader.

No matter how large the army is, and no matter how many supporting arms such as artillery, the basic tactical system with combat squads as the core will not change.

Outsiders see us as thousands of troops, but we see our own troops as a large number of combat teams and different combinations of various technical weapons according to different battlefield situations. "

The Taoists were all stunned.Although the part before mentioning the basic tactics is very novel, it is a category they can understand, and many of them have learned it before.

It is another thing to come up with the concept of basic tactics. People seem to understand something, and they feel as if they don't understand it at all.

Zhang Yuqing knew that today was just an introduction, and he didn't expect the Taoist officers to master it immediately, so he continued to advance: "Tactical training may take three months, and the goal is to build an army with its own basic tactics."
