Those people can't be found in a while, so Xia Hongsheng and Duan Zan had to take turns to fight, and one talked about one day and one day off. The throat-moistening medicinal tea that I grabbed in Langzhong was not broken, and the two of them were miserable, but fortunately, these soldiers also knew to cherish this opportunity, so they studied hard, which made Xia Hongsheng and Duan Zhan's hearts feel a lot more relieved.

As for Xia Hongsheng himself, it was even harder. Not only did he have to give lessons to those soldiers in the afternoon and evening, but after he came back in the evening, he couldn't rest, and he had to stay up all night in the study to sort out the teaching materials.

Xia Hongsheng's 300 people were used as the prototype of the military academy!

Military academy is an idea that Xia Hongsheng did not say to Li Shiminming in his heart. This idea has been rooted in Xia Hongsheng's heart for a long time. It is an extremely important part of Xia Hongsheng's layout that wants to transform Datang.

Military schools produce good and loyal officers, who immediately after the military academy will enter each team as middle and lower rank officers, and will come into direct contact with ordinary non-commissioned officers. An officer with excellent military qualities and a loyal spirit can lead those ordinary soldiers under his command to become a powerful force. Officers receive new ideas and new education in the military academy, and then spread these new ideas and new methods after leaving the military academy, this is the encroachment plan that Xia Hongsheng thought of. Through the encroachment of middle and lower-level officers, the army of the Tang Dynasty was transformed, so that the concept of war of the Tang Dynasty was more advanced and the combat effectiveness of the army was stronger. This is only the first step, when these people get Li Shimin's attention, the status of the military academy is truly established, then the respect for the military will also be correspondingly improved, and a martial spirit of respecting the army and loving the army will be formed in the society, providing a steady stream of new blood for the Tang army.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no lack of noon spirit, if it could improve the society's recognition and respect for soldiers. Coupled with more professional and refined learning and education training, the combat effectiveness of the Datang army will definitely be able to be coveted by any surrounding country.

Therefore, these three hundred people are particularly important, they are not only the prototype of the military school, but they are more likely to be the first batch of instructors of the military school in the future. Therefore, there should be no sloppiness in their training.

Of course, just relying on the fur that Xia Hongsheng knew in later generations, it would not work anyway. If you want to teach military cadets well, you have to come professionally. For example, those big generals are very good, and they have been fighting on the battlefield all their lives. Whether it is actual experience, or the strategy in the heart, or the status in the minds of the Tang soldiers, it is incomparable. If it can be said that these great generals will teach, then it can be regarded as a real military school.

Those veteran generals are all strategic, experienced in a hundred battles, and it is easier to draw inferences from one case and use them appropriately for the new military concepts brought by Xia Hongsheng, which is enough. Xia Hongsheng just gave them to broaden their horizons. The person who opened his mind, they combined their own experience and experience, and what was produced after integrating these new ideas and new methods, that is the real treasure in the Tang Army!

While sorting out the textbooks, Xia Hongsheng began to think about how to fool those old generals into teaching him, thought about it, and decided to start with Duan Zhixuan first, and let Duan Zan go home to play the family card. Although Duan Zhixuan was very strict with Duan Zhan, and Duan Zhan rarely relied on Duan Zhixuan's influence in the army, Duan Zhan was his son in the end. Ask him to do a favor, talk about his combat experience, and don't do anything that violates the principle, this favor Duan Zhixuan will definitely help.

Xia Hongsheng sighed faintly. The ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny, rather than letting Duan Zan fool Duan Zhixuan to give a lecture, it is better to select three hundred people first. At the moment, the most urgent task is to quickly compile the teaching materials, and the two months will be very fast. It's very short, and when the time comes, we can't let those 300 people go without textbooks.

Fortunately, Chinese pinyin is very simple, Xia Hongsheng is more familiar with the road, and after a few well-versed things, it was compiled.

After writing the last word, put it together and flipped through it, Xia Hongsheng felt quite complacent. The standard Chinese pinyin textbook for the first grade of primary school has been modified to be more suitable for the daily life of the Tang Dynasty.

stood up and stretched, picked up the throat-moistening medicinal tea that was already cold next to the table and took a sip, walked out and opened the door, and suddenly a wave of cold air came to the surface, which made Xia Hongsheng's brain suddenly perk up, and his spirit was a lot clearer.

The sky looked overcast, but it didn't seem to mean snow. Since the beginning of autumn last year, there has been a snowfall in the winter, and I haven't seen half a snowflake since. Since the beginning of this year, it has not fallen at all, and some people in Zhuangzi have already said that there will be a big drought this year.

Just as he was looking up, he heard a voice coming over: "Brother Xia!" ”

Listening to this salutation and voice, Xia Hongsheng knew who was coming. When he retracted his gaze from the sky, he saw Xu Hui and Xu Qixian coming, followed by another unknown person, who must have been the person Xu Qixian helped him find to teach those soldiers.

"Xu Hui, you don't have to go to Hongwen Pavilion today?" Xia Hongsheng spoke in a male duck voice.

"Oh, why is your voice so hoarse?" Xu Hui was taken aback: "Why don't you find Lang Zhong to grab medicine to eat?" ”

"I found it, grabbed the decoction, but I still have to teach those soldiers to read, there are too many people, think about it, 800 people, I have to shout alone to hear." Xia Hongsheng shook his head helplessly and said.

Xu Qixian walked over with a smile and said to Xia Hongsheng: "This is the person my uncle helped you find, a relative in my hometown, who happened to come to Chang'an City to prepare for the imperial examination and live at home, as soon as I went back, he agreed." ”

The clothes on the scholar's body were very clean, but the texture was not very good, and it was also linen, which meant that he was a poor family. The bearing of standing there, the tone of voice and demeanor, looks very cultivated. Xia Hongsheng hurriedly walked over, bowed to the scholar, and said, "Hongsheng, thank you for your high righteousness!" ”

"Meet Xia Duwei below. Xia Duwei is polite, Xia Duwei is famous, but he can not be arrogant, and he can be approachable to ordinary soldiers, and he also wants to teach them to read, this is Gao Yi, and I admire it. The scholar thought that Xia Hongsheng returned the salute and said with a smile.

"Brother Xia, what are you writing about this, why can't I understand it at all?" Xu Hui's voice came from inside the study, Xu Hui had already run into the study, saw the pinyin textbook compiled by Xia Hongsheng, and took it out and asked.

Xia Hongsheng took the textbook from Xu Hui's hand and explained: "This is something I made up to facilitate the literacy of those soldiers, these letters are called Hanyu Pinyin, different letters have different pronunciations, through the combination of different letter pronunciations, spelling out the pronunciation of the words, so that those soldiers can understand how to read the words they don't know." ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng's explanation, Xu Hui nodded and opened it again, but Xu Qixian and the scholar were taken aback, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward. Xu Qixian snatched it from Xu Hui's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Listening to what Xia Duwei said, these things are the same as the "Cut Rhyme", the method of annotating and interpreting sounds?" The scholar who came with Xu Qixian raised his head and asked Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, I learn pronunciation from readers, mostly based on "Shuowen Commentary" and "Cut Rhyme", but this kind of phonetic method is difficult for people to understand, and it is not conducive to wide dissemination. So I'm using these pinyin instead. As long as people learn the pronunciation of these pinyin, and then combine these pinyin together, they can easily spell out the pronunciation of the word. It's good for spreading, and it's easier to learn. Of course, these things are not very perfect at the moment, and I still need to discuss with Master Yan and Master Li Gang. At present, it is only a trial on those soldiers. ”

"Oh, I don't know what Captain Xia wants me to do?" The scholar asked.

Xia Hongsheng took the stack of paper from Xu Qixian's hand, raised it, and said: "Without him, I will teach you the use of these pinyin first, and then you will teach the use of these pinyin to those soldiers, and then teach them to read." ”

"Brother Xia, I also want to learn these pinyin, is it okay?" Xu Hui looked at the paper in Xia Hongsheng's hand curiously and asked.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Of course!" You can learn anything you want! ”

Xu Hui was immediately very happy, even smiling crookedly, looking very good-looking.

"This thing is novel and tight, what's the matter, why should I learn from you for my brother?" Xu Qixian was also very interested in Xia Hongsheng's phonetic method, so he said: "It's a big deal to help you teach those soldiers for my brother, how about it?" ”

"Haha, that's great!" Xia Hongsheng laughed, but unfortunately the voice of a male duck was too ugly, so Xu Qixian and the others hurriedly stopped it.

One after another, in the next few days, everyone helped to find the people who were brought, Xia Hongsheng in line with the attitude of not using suspicious people and not doubting people, and also believed in the eyes of the goods, so he first paid these scholars a month's money. These scholars were embarrassed and felt that it was a bit ungentlemanly to do so. However, they are all from poor families, and they came to Chang'an alone, if there were no people who defected, they would have had a very hard time, Xia Hongsheng was clever and said, saying that these money were earned by their hard work after paying for their labor, and it was justified that they were persuaded to take it.

After calculating it, a total of more than a dozen people came one after another, and Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
