The next day, Wang Hongyu led Han Jun and officials from Baoding Governor's Yamen to pay homage to Zhou Dunji's remains.
As Zhou Dunji's former superior, looking at the smiling face of Zhou Dunji, the soul of the Ming Dynasty army who died young, this Confucian general who was over fifty years old felt sad and burst into tears.
After the propaganda in Baoding, many officials and people also admired the heroes of the bloody battle of Hunhe River very much.
There was an endless stream of people paying their respects.
Han Jun, his colleagues in the governor's office and the generals from the Baoding garrison, together with Wang Hongyu, briefly inspected the Hunhe Army.
Seeing the Southern Army that survived the bloody battle of Hunhe, it has now transformed into a mighty, majestic and well-disciplined enemy force in the world - the Hunhe Army.
Han Jun couldn't help but sigh, only Zhou Dunji, an expert in military training, could train such a strong army. Now his Yi Di Wang Hongyu has become better than his predecessors. The Ming Dynasty's military spirit is still there, and there are successors to the Southern Army.
Zhou Shen will be able to smile in Jiuquan.
Han Jun was very curious about the First Army of the Ming Dynasty, which defeated several times the Jiannu army, defeated the Jurchens and frightened the Jurchen slaves, and asked Baoding Governor Biaoying to communicate with the Hunhe Army.
Of course Wang Hongyu agreed that the Ming Dynasty's old army really needed to learn something new. Zhao Lijiao, You Shilu, and Jiang Bi's border troops learned the training of the Southern Army and improved a lot in discipline.
Baoding Governor Biaoying sent several teams to enter the Hunhe Army barracks and visited the Hunhe Army training and life. After learning, the response was great, especially for the soldiers who were learning simple literacy and common sense booklets, which were very helpful to them.
The vibration was great.
Let Han Jun and some officials, generals and soldiers of Baoding Governor Biaoying see the side of their new army. Literacy education is carried out in the army, with troops as units, and soldiers who know 100 characters teach soldiers who are completely illiterate.
Literacy night classes are conducted on a battalion basis to teach more words, as well as basic knowledge such as mathematics, biology, and geography.
Moreover, the knowledge of the Hunhe Army is all applicable knowledge, which is very important for improving the combat literacy of soldiers. They found that most of the scouts of the Hunhe Army can draw the terrain casually, which is much more accurate than memorizing and dictating.
Artillery has a simple range measurement method, which can quickly determine the distance to the target, and use the angle and distance to calculate the inclination of the cannon and the amount of charge.
The night school also has experienced veterans who teach biology, geography, survival, camping, water collection, and hunting. In addition to theoretical teaching, there is also hands-on practice.
In other words, any soldier of the Hunhe Army can serve as a captain or above in other armies. It turns out that the 3,000 soldiers of the Hunhe Army all have the potential to become generals and officers in the future.
As long as there are enough troops and funds, the number of Hunhe soldiers will grow like a snowball in a few years, and this army will become stronger and stronger.
Han Jun plans to carry out similar literacy, biology, geography, survival, camping, water collection, and hunting teaching in Governor Biao Camp of Baoding.
People from various armies in Baoding also participated in this exchange. They heard about Han Jun's plan and began to spontaneously learn this method.
With the spread of literacy, the demand for books and promotional materials will become higher and higher, and the business of bookstores will get better and better in the future.
With the foundation of writing, there are conditions for learning other knowledge. The army's demand for newspapers, magazines, weapons pictorials, and weapons overview books will increase.
Wang Hongyu's bookshop, publishing house, and papermaking factory will prosper.
Wang Hongyu and Han Jun were in full swing here, and Jin Nige and Bi Fangji also performed in the play "Don Quixote" and were preparing for printing.
Long Huamin took several missionaries to visit the army.
They were allowed to communicate with Hunhe soldiers before, but now there is no prohibition.
Wang Hongyu was not afraid at all of them peeking into the "secrets" because it was not a secret. Instead, he hoped that the West would think that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful.
If you want them to know how powerful you are, of course let them see how powerful the Hunhe Army is.
"Oh my, it's motionless under the bright sun, and those who didn't know better thought it was a sculpture!"
Some missionaries saw the soldiers standing in military posture and lamented that these people were so powerful.
"Oh my gosh, they also use fixed gunpowder for their gunpowder. I thought it was only used in Europe!"
Seeing paper-packed bullets instead of loose black powder, they did not dare to underestimate the Ming army.
"Ahem!"
Long Huamin coughed twice, and several people quickly looked at each other and asked a dark-skinned soldier in Chinese, which they had trained for many years: "Are you from the Southern Army or the Northern Army?"
"I'm from Sichuan, so I'm supposed to be a member of the Southern Army."
"Oh! The place we are going to this time is not far from Sichuan, so please take care of me."
"Ah, definitely." Although this soldier was a veteran, he was quite honest and he scratched his head and responded.
Seeing that they were close to each other, Long Huamin asked quietly: "You are very powerful. Those people in Jiubian are far inferior to you, right?"
The soldier wanted to answer out loud, but then he remembered that during the bloody battle in Hunhe River, the Nine Sides Elites led by You Shilu, Jiang Bi, and Zhao saved everyone. They were also very powerful.
"The Nine-sided Cavalry is very strong, brave and good at fighting. They are best at fighting the Mongols! They are even better at fighting the Mongols than we are."
What he said was to talk about the advantages and characteristics of Jiubian. He only said that he was better than them in defeating the Mongols, but he did not say that he was better than them in all aspects.
But the Mongols are very scary in the eyes of Europeans.
Hearing this, they were startled and everyone felt horrified.
"Okay, the Southern Army admits that the Nine Sides are stronger." Long Huamin thought to himself, it seems that the elites of the Nine Sides are indeed stronger than the Southern Army.
They walked around the school grounds and soon saw some light cavalry, a dozen of them with obviously different accents.
【In view of the general environment,
When I asked about it, it turned out that it was from Yulin.
Long Huamin rolled his eyes and knew that this place was an important town in the northwest.
Using warm words to approach, these missionaries asked expectantly: "You are very powerful. The southern soldiers are not as tall as you and are good at riding horses. They are far inferior to you, right?"
"Hahahaha! The Confederate army is very powerful, especially the spears, muskets and navy. They must be strong. Our navy in Guangdong, Ming Dynasty, swept away the Shimazu family, one of the strongest Japanese pirates in the Warring States period. Not to mention Sichuan,
In Zhejiang, the soil is stronger."
shocked.
These missionaries who questioned Wang Hongyu were completely blinded.
real.
It's all true.
Ming Dynasty is very powerful.
I thought they were weak before because they had never seen a strong army.
The Ming Dynasty is mighty! Tolkien is brave!
On behalf of Rome, we ask for the support of Ming Dynasty and you!
...
Wang Hongyu nodded with satisfaction to Bi Fanji.
Bi Fangji returned the gift respectfully.
In fact, even if there is no preparation in advance, the Hunhe Army, regardless of whether it is north or south or divided into different departments, must have the same view on this point.
But if you are prepared, you can organize your words in advance and directly frighten Long Huamin and his group.
Hahaha, both of them laughed.
Ginny also smiled calmly and kindly like Dumbledore.
Existence is the result of inevitable development.
Bi Fanji wanted to say, of course you can say that, because this is the result of your hard work~
