Chapter 139: Enlightenment

The geographical location of the Kingdom of Ireland was very favorable to Daming, and that place needed to be properly managed, but at the beginning, Chen Mu had no intention of putting more troops there.

Two guards should be set up in the locality, and the flag army sailing long distance should try to avoid the environment of landing on the shore and putting into battle, where there should be enough barracks and military camps for the flag army to get enough rest.

What's more, the backward agricultural technology in the local area makes it impossible to feed the flag army that was raised by Chen Mu's massive baggage, and once the supply can't keep up, it will be difficult to do the follow-up.

It used to be okay if I suddenly switched to wheat bread for a month or two a day, but once it became a bad food supply for a year and a half, no one wanted to accept it.

They achieved Chen Mu's training goal, after a year and a half of training, although the height of the first flag army is uneven, but its physique is one hundred and fifty pounds up, even if it is a thin bamboo pole, according to the daily meals arranged by Chen Mu, coupled with the training that consumes a lot of physical energy, they are all eaten strong.

The food supply and training intensity of these banner troops are at least the same as those of the generals' family soldiers, and in this regard, the Oriental military government and Yin Zhengmao's Western military government take a completely different path.

Uncle Yin is still transporting troops back and forth in Nanyang, except for a few elite regiments in Zhedong Bird Gun and Guangxi Wolf Army, a large number of Weisu troops have been transferred from Liangguang, and the value of their 40,000 troops is comparable to that of Chen Mu's 10,000 banner army.

The consumption of rice and grain is about the same, but the consumption of meat and eggs by the Oriental military government is too great.

Each has its own advantages, at least Yin Zhengmao doesn't need to hit the local servant army, and the relative combat power is stronger than the Oriental army.

There are more people who can be mobilized, and people don't have to pay attention to small actions like garrisoning a guard in Goa, but with Chen Mu, he can only garrison a thousand households.

There is no way, the same force is commanded by Chen Mu...... The ability he exerted might as well be a defender.

The talent of leading the troops is here, what can Chen Mu do?

Fortunately, he had excellent fleet commanders and staff.

Chen Mu, who was inoculated with experimental cowpox, reacted a little, but soon became vigorous again, and then the entire Beiyang Military Government began to vaccinate generally, at first 100 households began to be vaccinated, and when there were more pox vaccines produced, they began to inoculate the pox vaccine in the entire 1,000 households.

Only at this time did Chen Mu have time to think about family affairs, his second child would be born in six or seven months, and Hailong, who had already reached the age of one, would have an enlightened education in the next few years.

The child was too young, like a reckless insect that followed the fleet, his son could already run up and down the ship, and on this voyage to America, the reckless insect planned to take his son with him and begin to educate the next generation of imperial admirals.

Shao Tingda's abacus about parenting jingled, and if there was no accident in five years, Xiao Mang Worm had accumulated enough experience on land and sea when he came back, and he couldn't figure out that he could still carry the rank of junior officer on his body and send him to the Navy Lecture Hall to study for two years, combining practice with theory.

After graduation, Amerika's real power command made it impossible to run.

There were not a few Nanyang admirals who had such an idea, and basically every warship coming from Nanyang had three or five teenagers who served as lookouts, heralds, or generals' own soldiers.

These barefoot children who ran before and after running on the boat were the naval upstarts of the Ming Empire five or ten years later.

Chen Mu felt very sorry that Xiao Hailong did not have the opportunity to participate in this significant event, but Xiao Hailong also found an enlightened person a few years later, Zhao Shizhen's father-in-law, Xu Zhenming, the director of the Beiyang Branch of the Ministry of Labor.

The location of enlightenment is next to the Beiyang Military Academy, and a new project of the Ministry of Engineering was immediately launched, building the Beiyang Primary School, with a semester of five years, in addition to the traditional enlightenment, it also teaches traditional mathematics and geometry after the fusion of knowledge, as well as some of the common sense that needs to be learned in military science, engineering, and medicine.

Originally, the best way was for them to learn foreign languages from an early age, but this suggestion was not possible for Chen Mu - he would be more than happy to send someone to Europa to teach Chinese.

It takes half a day, how hard will it be for these children to learn a bunch of unnecessary words when the time comes?

In this way, a closed loop of learning has been formed within Beiyang, and those who are interested in military affairs will enter the North and South Lecture Hall for further study after graduation, those who are interested in medicine will directly stay in the Medical Academy or the Tai Hospital, and those who are interested in engineering will enter the research institute, and those who are interested in taking the career will go to Songjiang Lecture and Literature Institute to study.

The parents of the students on the left and right are all military officers, and no matter where they study or how many times they go to school, they have enough financial resources to support them.

In the future, private colleges will once again be inspired to improve the education system.

The imperial court's recognition and promotion of customization is not the beginning, but the end of a stage of educational reform.

Now the whole world knows that the imperial court needs more new talents, and the inherent traditional education needs to take another step up to meet the needs of all walks of life.

The needs of the imperial court are the same, in the past, there were too many jinshi of about 400 jinshi a year, and now more than 400 jinshi a year are not enough at all, and nearly 100 of them will be scraped away from the southwest and nanyang alone, not to mention that the west has also begun to report to the imperial court.

The sea dragon must be at least four years old before becoming enlightened, and the same is true for the second child, who does not have to be guinea pigs in the elementary school.

As far as the experience of the North and South Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the Lecture Academy, and the Beiyang Military Government is concerned, even if the newly established primary school hall is prepared to be perfected, there are drawbacks in the previous periods, and by the time Hailong enrolls in school, it should be relatively perfect.

In addition to family affairs, the task indicators of the North and South Two Oceans Military Government and the North and South Two Military Weapons Bureau in the next few years were also issued by Chen Mu.

For example, how many ships to build, how many guns to build, how many pieces of armor to build, and how much gunpowder to prepare each year were all calculated by the Beiyang Military Government and distributed to various places, even down to the two capitals and 13 provinces.

"According to last year's output, the Xuanfu Ordnance Bureau produces 8,000 flintlock guns every year, the Nanyang Guard Ordnance Bureau produces 28,000 flintlock guns every year, and the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau produces 4,000 flintlock guns every year.

"The output of the Xuanfu and the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau can be further improved, and I think 50,000 next year and 56,000 flintlock guns the year after next can be done."

The high output of Nanyang's flintlock guns is not because of the manufacturing process, but because most of the parts such as the guns, beds, and pipes have been outsourced to craftsmen in Foshan and other places.

In order to ensure the quality, each furnace household is numbered according to the iron smelting village, and the parts go through four inspection processes before being assembled into guns, which is not so strict in both Xuanfu and Beiyang.

When a Nanyang gun is disassembled, the name of the acceptor is found on the pipe, machine, and bed, and the damage period is also formulated.

The highest yield is the best quality.

"Pick up a batch of replaced arquebus guns from all over the place, load them on a ship and transport them to America, I have a hunch, when our Ming fleet arrives over there, this thing is hard currency!"
