Zhao Gan read the writing on the ground again, and then said cautiously: "Brother Cheng, I will say it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you are asked to say it, just say it!" Cheng Niu's face became even more gloomy.

Zhao Gan asked hesitantly: "Brother Cheng! Then I really said it."

Seeing Zhao Gan's cautious look, Cheng Niu also felt a little guilty. However, people can't be defeated, so Cheng Niu pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Tell me! Which word did I write wrong? To tell the truth,

I won’t be angry.”

Zhao Gan looked at Cheng Niu's face and mustered up the courage to reply: "It's not one word, there are three wrong words."

The onlookers were silent at first, and then burst into deafening laughter. Cheng Niu immediately became angry and shouted at Zhao Gan: "How many days have you learned to read? How many words can you recognize? Do you still know?"

Right or wrong! Okay, I, Old Cheng, am also tired and have to go back to the house to rest. It’s gone! It’s gone!” After saying that, he was about to wipe off the words on the ground with the soles of his shoes, preparing to destroy the body and eliminate traces of it.

.

But how could Hu Chuantou on the side let Cheng Niu pass easily? He immediately grabbed Cheng Niu and said: "No! Let us also study. Brother, please do some hard work and take out the literacy book in the room and read it.

Can you understand it at first sight?"

Seeing Cheng Niu struggling to break free, the soldiers became even more energetic. Several people surrounded Cheng Niu to prevent him from getting close to the writing on the ground, and one man ran towards the barracks at full speed.

After a while, the man who went to the barracks got the literacy book. Everyone compared it word by word. When they found a typo, they burst into laughter. In the end, there were exactly three words wrong, no more, no less.

.

Cheng Niu's face turned the color of pig liver, but he rolled his eyes and immediately wanted to change the subject: "Gang Zi is good! He has only learned a lot of words in just one month. Tell Brother Cheng, the literacy book

How many words have you learned?"

The curiosity of those watching also aroused, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Zhao Gan's answer.

"I've almost learned everything." Zhao Gan replied

"Ah?" Everyone looked in disbelief. Because there were 500 characters in Runingjun's literacy book. Zhao Gan was able to learn almost all of them in less than a month.

No matter how you put it, this is a bit fantasy.

Hu Chuitou also asked: "Have you really learned everything?"

But before Zhao Gan could answer, Cheng Niu immediately stepped forward and said, "What? You're not convinced? Brother Ganzi is already smart, and I'm here to teach him, so what's the big deal about learning such broken words?"

"It's nothing special." Hu Chuantou immediately retorted, "Big cowhide! I admit that brother Ganzi is smart. But what does his quick literacy have to do with you? Is he as good as you, big cowhide? Why should you teach him? Think about it first.

Will you pass the cultural assessment?"

At this moment, their company commander Meng walked past with a red face. When he saw Cheng Niu in the crowd, he immediately said happily: "Cheng Niu! Congratulations! This time you jumped over the Xiaolongmen. This is the cultural assessment.

Your grades were a little worse, but I interceded with the group leader, so you were admitted this time!"

"Ah——!" Cheng Niu was immediately overjoyed. He shouted and hugged Captain Meng and said, "Captain, thank you! You are my brother!"

"A treat! A treat!" Although they were still bickering just now, Hu Chuantou and the others were still happy that Cheng Niu passed the examination.

"Don't do this!" Captain Meng struggled to break away from Cheng Niu's embrace, and he almost got goosebumps. "This time, three people from our company passed the assessment. I also asked the regiment leader. I will wait for you when you are here."

After the training of the teaching regiment is completed, they will all return to our company to serve. Cheng Niu! Don’t go to the toilet there, if you don’t perform well and fail, then see how I will masturbate you!”

In the Runing Army, officers also have the same assessment as soldiers. One of the most important ones is to see how many people in their own army are transferred to the teaching corps and personal corps. So this time, Company Commander Meng himself will get a lot of bonus points.

.

Of course, the various armies are also scrambling for the officers and non-commissioned officers assigned by the teaching corps and the corps. Therefore, it has become a common practice for each arm to transfer personnel back to its own army.

But Cheng Niu immediately turned bitter and begged, "Company commander! I want to go to the cavalry!"

"Dream!" Captain Meng's face suddenly became serious, "If Cheng Niu is called Cheng Ma, I will let you go. Since you have the word 'Niu', you will be a person on the ground for the rest of your life.

life."

Then Captain Meng gave Cheng Niu another candied date: "What do you think? When you come to the cavalry and you are not familiar with the place, how will you make your mark? You might as well go back to our old army. I promise here, as long as you come back,

, after a year and a half, I will recommend you to go to the Great Dragon Gate. And who outside will care about you so much?"

Now that Captain Meng had spoken to this extent, Cheng Niu remained silent. Suddenly he remembered something and immediately pulled Zhao Gan to recommend to Captain Meng: "Company Commander, you always know this guy."

Well, this kid is amazing! In just one month, he can recognize every word in the literacy book."

"Oh?" Captain Meng's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw the literacy book in the hands of the soldiers beside him. He immediately took it over and flipped a page. Then he read a sentence and said, "Zhao Gan, write what I just read."

come out."

Cheng Niu immediately handed the bamboo pole in his hand to Zhao Gan. After Zhao Gan gave a military salute to Captain Meng, he took the bamboo pole and wrote this sentence on the ground.

Watching Zhao Gan write, Captain Meng became more and more happy as he read. He finally endured it until Zhao Gan finished writing. Captain Meng immediately looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahaha——! I didn't expect God to send us such a series of words."

A talented person."

Then Captain Meng looked around, immediately pointed at Hu Chuotou and ordered: "Hu Qiang! Don't stay in the kitchen team all the time. Come out and train, and try to jump over the dragon gate next time. Also, help me step up."

I will also keep a close eye on Zhao Gan as he continues to practice, trying to let him master all the 'attacks to death' in the shortest possible time. Haha! I have found a treasure this time! I will have to see the faces of Lao Yang and Lao Lu when the time comes.

ah?"

When recruiting into the Guards Corps, except for the majority of non-commissioned officers who have passed the assessment scores, a small number of places are reserved for recruitment to the entire army and local areas. For such students, in addition to the necessary physical conditions, the cultural assessment accounts for

This kind of cultural assessment is not at the level of a literacy class like Cheng Niu. It is at least equivalent to the level of Chinese language in modern high schools.

Of course, this kind of trainee also needs to be recommended by the chief officer of the army and the local gentry who have good relations with the Runing Army. However, due to the influence of the noble and military, no one above the age of children will apply, so the cultural assessment is also difficult.

Not much higher. Therefore, Captain Meng wanted to train Zhao Gan to take part in this kind of assessment.

Although the admission rate for this kind of assessment is quite high, and the training time of this kind of students in the Guards Corps is much longer, after all, they are jumping over the dragon gate, so Captain Meng will not let go of such an opportunity.

After returning to Runing Mansion, although Wu Shigong and his family lived peacefully every night, he was still very busy with trivial matters during the day. After finally finding a free time, Wu Shigong made an appointment with Deng Qifan and Xue Yongli at his house

Have a drink inside.

But after drinking for three rounds, the three of them naturally talked about official business.

Xue Yongli said: "Uncle! There is no doubt that the expansion of the army this time is small. But the cost of the Navy and Marine Corps is a bit higher. With this money, our Runing Army can expand two or three regiments, right?

Is it a waste?"

Wu Shigong replied with a smile: "In our Ming Dynasty, the north was dominated by cavalry, and the south relied on waterways to transport troops. And the place where our Runing Army is staying is exactly where the north and the south meet."

"And our Runing Army now has two major enemies. Let's talk about the Shaanxi bandits in front of us first. They are active in our north and south regions. Our Runing Army fought very well in the north this time, but there are so many in the south.

We, the Runing Army, are somewhat unable to cope with the water channel."

"Although our Runing Army wiped out more than 50,000 Shaanxi bandits this time, most of them were old and weak, and they did not hurt the bones of the Shaanxi bandits at all. And the Shaanxi bandits were also very cunning, and they placed these old and weak people behind them.

, if something goes wrong, his main force will slip."

"If we have a Marine Corps unit arriving behind the Shaanxi bandits via shipping, we will definitely achieve greater results, and it will be much easier for us to exterminate the Shaanxi bandits in the future. Therefore, I think the Marine Corps'

The number of people is still too small, it would be better to have a legion."

"Look at the Tatars again. Although the Tatars are still far away from us, sooner or later we will meet one day. When fighting the Tatars, no matter how hard we fight, their cavalry has an advantage. Although the firearms of our Runing army are powerful, they can't.

At most, the Tatars will be driven back, and it will definitely be very difficult to pursue, encircle and annihilate them."

"Besides, the Tatars are not fools. They may suffer a loss in front of our firearms once or twice, but if they happen more often, they will definitely find a way to deal with us. Therefore, the current Navy and Marine Corps fight in inland rivers.

, my idea in the future is to let them run to the sea."

"If we go through the sea route, if the Tatars enter the customs again like the last time King Qin was in power, we can look for opportunities to land in Shandong, Tianjin and other places by sea, and let the Marine Corps intercept the Tatars' retreat. And our Runing Army

If we press them further, we can achieve better results. We, the Runing Army, can even send surprise troops directly to the home of the Tatars in Liaodong to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"But this topic is far away. Let's cultivate the seeds of our Navy and Marine Corps first! But no matter what, the role of our Navy will become more and more important in the future, so we have to grit our teeth.

A huge investment was made in the Navy and the Marine Corps. This is why I sent Zhang Rubao and others to Zheng Youyi at that time."
