Chapter 65 Lighten the burden on the doll from crossing
Whether it was the successful casting of the artillery or the mass production of various weapons in the weapons workshop, Zhu Hongyu felt a sense of peace in his heart.
As the training of the Liberation Army continues, armaments are gradually in place, and the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army continues to increase.
He felt a lot more relaxed about the war he was going to face next.
I am more confident that I can withstand the Spanish encirclement and suppression!
…
During the following period, Zhu Hongyu was still busy.
In addition to handling various government affairs and participating in military training every day, he also found something else for himself.
He began to train talents for the future development of the Liberation Army!
He gathered all the half-grown children between the ages of ten and sixteen from the families of the Liberation Army, regardless of gender, for literacy and intensive teaching.
The textbook he used was the compulsory education textbook he copied from his own memory!
These children are young and have undecided views, which is when their learning and receptive abilities are strongest.
Zhu Hongyu's teachings to them included instilling nationalist ideas, loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and brainwashing with ideas such as the rejuvenation of China.
Almost all of them are science subjects, such as mathematics, geometry, astronomy, physics, chemistry, geography and other subjects.
The specific teaching method is to divide students into classes according to their abilities and interests, and each class only learns one subject.
The purpose is to cultivate a group of talents with basic scientific knowledge in a short period of time.
As for liberal arts subjects such as history and politics, there is no need to rush. You can learn them slowly after you stabilize.
As for speaking English, who the hell would a serious person learn English?!
Since Zhu Hongyu has traveled through time, he must strive to ensure that only Chinese is the only universal language in the world during his lifetime.
Well, to reduce the burden on the doll, we must start with time travel!
…
On this day, Zhu Hongyu was teaching students, and there were several simple mechanical formulas written on a blackboard.
Zhu Hongyu explained the basic principles of mechanical formulas in detail. Below, a group of students raised their heads and stared at the blackboard without blinking.
His eyes followed the pointer in Zhu Hongyu's hand!
At this moment, a Liberation Army soldier ran from a distance.
He jogged all the way to Zhu Hongyu and said.
"General, our sentry outside caught five sneaky guys."
"They claim to be envoys sent by Manila and want to negotiate peace with our Liberation Army and discuss the release of prisoners of war."
Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
"Haha, it's finally here!"
He turned around and gave instructions to his students.
"I have to leave beforehand so this class can be over."
"Everyone should study on their own first, review what I just said, and do some after-school exercises. I will come back later to check!"
After hearing this, the students all stood up from their seats, bowed to Zhu Hongyu, and said in unison.
"Congratulations sir!"
The Chinese nation's tradition of respecting teachers and their desire for knowledge made students respect Zhu Hongyu very much.
Zhu Hongyu waved his hand, signaling the students to go their separate ways, and then, led by the soldiers of the Liberation Army, they went to meet the envoys sent by the Spanish.
…
There were several chairs in the living room. All the officers of the Liberation Army had already arrived and sat down. The seats were full.
There was only one chair left at the top, which was reserved for Zhu Hongyu.
A group of five envoys were all standing in the hall, and the officers of the Liberation Army would glare at them.
Zhu Hongyu strode in, glanced around the hall, and saw the five envoys standing in the hall.
Among these five people, three are Chinese and two are Spaniards.
Among the three Chinese, two are dressed as businessmen, and one is a scholar wearing a Confucian shirt.
Of the two Spaniards, one was dressed as a priest and the other as a businessman.
His eyes flashed, it was strange that there were Chinese people in the envoy's team.
Zhu Hongyu sat down in his seat and stared at the five people standing.
"Why did you come here?"
Zhu Hongyu asked directly.
A Chinese member of the five-person envoy group spoke.
"Your Excellency, General, I am Lin Wenqi, a Chinese merchant in Manila, who has been entrusted by Governor Barossa to represent Manila to make peace with Your Excellency, General!"
Lin Wenqi had a smile on his face and looked like a shrewd businessman.
Zhao Yuanan on the side also stood up and said.
"Your Excellency, the General, the Governor of Manila takes pity on the people under his rule and does not want to start war again. He wants to make peace with Your Excellency, the General. The two sides will demarcate trade and non-aggression."
Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.
"Haha, don't talk nonsense. If you want prisoners of war, give them supplies in exchange!"
"A Spanish soldier needs one thousand kilograms of grain, or the same value of salt, gunpowder, and medicinal materials!"
The Spanish priest among the five stood up and said.
“Although the Governor-General is willing to redeem God’s people under your control, the price is too high and cannot be accepted by the Governor-General!”
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said without any change in his expression.
"Of course, the price is negotiable!"
"You haggle over the price, and I'll haggle over the person."
"A Spaniard has a thousand kilograms of grain and is missing ten kilograms. If I chop off one of his fingers, he will lose a hundred kilograms. If I chop off his arm, he will lose two hundred kilograms. I will chop off both of his legs."
"That's reasonable, right?"
When the Spanish priest heard this, his face turned red, he pointed at Zhu Hongyu and cursed.
"How could you, a hateful infidel, treat God's people so cruelly and viciously!"
Zhu Hongyu didn't care, he showed a smile on his face, and then spoke to the envoy.
"This priest's insults have caused me great mental harm, and I ask you to compensate for this."
"I don't want more. The price for redeeming the prisoners of war will be added to the original price by 10%, which will be considered as compensation for my mental damage."
"Of course, it's still the same rule, you haggle over the price, and I'll haggle over the person!"
"Isn't it too much?"
Zhu Hongyu's eyes were burning, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
The generals of the Liberation Army in the hall had strange expressions on their faces when they heard Zhu Hongyu's rogue negotiation method.
The priest wanted to say something more, but the Spanish businessman on the side quickly stopped him.
The businessman said to Zhu Hongyu in a flattering manner.
"Not too much, not too much!"
“Not too much at all!”
Looking at the eager priest, the businessman couldn't help but complain, "Don't say that anymore."
If you keep talking, the mental damage fee will go up again!
Lin Wenqi coughed twice, stood up and spoke righteously.
"Your Majesty General, we are here not only to redeem prisoners of war!"
"There is still a matter of making peace between the two sides and restoring peace!"
"Manila is a peaceful, civilized, wealthy, and safe city. War and conflicts should not occur here!"
"The Chinese and Spanish are the co-founders of Manila and are the two cornerstones of Manila's prosperity, prosperity and healthy development."
"Manila is the common homeland of Chinese and Spanish people. Both sides have worked together to contribute to the construction of Manila. There is an extremely deep traditional friendship between the two sides!"
"Conflicts should not break out just because of some minor misunderstandings, thus destroying Manila's peace and stability!"
"The Governor is kind-hearted and does not want to see war. He does not want to see unnecessary bloodshed."
"With the mediation of Chinese businessmen like us, the Governor is willing to resolve disputes through peaceful means through peace talks!"
"Of course, in order to show sincerity, the Governor-General is willing to pay part of the ransom in advance in exchange for some prisoners of war."
