Chapter 52 Cultivating Soldiers into Generals
Cheng Yue's lectures cover a wide range of topics, from how to determine one's own location, how to conceal camouflage, how to find food and water, to how to select a battlefield, how to analyze intelligence, how to formulate a strategy, and so on.
In fact, these intellectuals know a lot, but they are not comprehensive, let alone systematic. Listening to Cheng Cheng connect them all little by little according to the logical thinking he said, and developed all kinds of different knowledge, all the generals were also stunned, and many of the vague places before were answered, not to mention those recruits.
The lecture went straight to late at night, and Cheng Yue's throat couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to disperse. Everyone hugged Cheng Yue to rest, and Cheng Yue fell asleep as soon as he lay down. The crowd was different, there were too many new things to digest, and the generals and soldiers were talking about what Cheng Yue had said in twos and threes, exchanging notes made by each other. The recruits, who had not been able to hear the lecture just now, listened to the people who heard it, and from time to time let out a burst of shouts of sudden realization. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.
Cheng Yue got up in the morning and went out to exercise energetically, but he didn't expect that there were many people with red eyes discussing and studying what Cheng Yue said yesterday.
Cheng Yue couldn't help but be moved, no wonder most people are good teachers, and they do have a sense of achievement.
Cheng Yue walked to the edge of the training ground and started exercising, and immediately a large group of recruits flocked to learn from behind. Cheng Yue consciously slowed down and let them learn.
After breakfast, Cheng Yue saw Wang Bangjie coming over with red eyes, and a small package in his hand, it seemed that he didn't sleep long last night.
Wang Bangjie said: "Son, there is something that my subordinates want to discuss with Childe. ”
Cheng Yue said: "Say, I won't stay for a few days and I'll go back, so try to mention any requirements." ”
Wang Bangjie said: "It's a matter of military uniforms and military boots." Childe, your military uniform and military boots are really beautiful and practical, and your subordinates want to equip our army with such clothes and shoes, I don't know what Childe thinks? ”
Cheng Yue said: "I want to too, but it requires a lot of money, and it can't be done yet." ”
Wang Bangjie said with a smile: "The subordinates naturally know, so the subordinates have thought of a way to make the whole army wear this dress without spending a penny." ”
Cheng Yue looked at him in surprise and said, "Tell me, what are your ideas?" ”
Wang Bangjie said: "Son, don't hide it, my Wang family has a relative who opened a big cloth village in Suzhou and also makes clothes. Another relative of mine owns a big shoe store and is very good at making leather boots. They all ......."
"I see! How could I not have thought of it! As soon as Wang Bangjie said this, Cheng Yue interrupted him. Then he continued: "Your two relatives want to know how to make my clothes and boots, and when they learn it, they can sell them exclusively." Supplying the army is naturally a golden signboard. In this way, only they will do it in the whole world, and the business will be big. The rest of the operations can be like I used to sell gloves, and if I give them another word, the business will be even more successful. I also want to let me receive their affection, and they will naturally be indispensable for military supplies in the future. High, really high. I sold so many gloves before, why didn't I think of military uniforms and military boots? Well, you did this well, both public and private. Your two relatives are also very smart. ”
Wang Bangjie looked at Cheng Yue with his mouth open, what he wanted to say was said by Cheng Yuequan, and that bit of calculation was revealed by Cheng Yue one by one, he felt a little embarrassed, but it seemed that Cheng Yue appreciated it very much.
Wang Bangjie smiled bitterly and said, "Childe, if you want to do business, we don't have to live." Since you also feel good, it is better to ......" and hand the package in your hand to Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue knew that it must be clothes here, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take it off for you." But there is one thing, you must return it to me when you run out, this fabric is all confidential. I'll draw you a few more pictures, and you can go back and do it together. There are several kinds of military uniforms, this is a field uniform, as well as formal military uniforms, officer uniforms, summer uniforms, etc., you have to make them. Because of the huge cost, it is impossible for you to take it out at once, so I'll give you some money. I'll write you some recipes, it's a thing called perfume, you'd better find a place to sell it alone, you can sell it for a hundred times the price, and women will go crazy about it. Then there is the formula of soap and soap, soap for washing clothes, soap for washing hands and bathing, once it is introduced, it will be a big hit, and the profit is very amazing, enough to make up for the loss of your military uniform. Therefore, you are not allowed to sell military uniforms casually, they can only be given to the army, but they can be sold in other colors. Boots can be sold casually. What do you think? ”
After listening to this, Wang Bangjie only said: "Childe, it's a pity that you are not a businessman." ”
Cheng Yue picked up the pen, drew many pictures, and wrote down a few priceless recipes he said just now, and handed them to Wang Bangjie.
As a result, the two families became leaders in the industry, creating countless brands and products that have been known for centuries. The paper with the drawings and recipes on it was later regarded as heirlooms by the two families. That's an afterword.
Cheng Yue put on the clothes and shoes sent by Wang Bangjie, which fit quite well. Wang Bangjie's vision is very accurate. Although I feel a little uncomfortable now because I am used to my clothes that move freely, I can still do it. After all, what was sent to Cheng Yue was the best.
Wang Juzhi came to invite Cheng Yue to give a lecture again, and Cheng Yue knew that he was very short of time, so he went immediately.
This time there were more people, leaving only a small area for Cheng Yue to stand.
This time, Cheng Yue talked about mapping methods, projection, weather changes, the origin of the four seasons, the geography of mountains and rivers, the difference between oceans and lakes and rivers, the origin of various terrains, how to adapt and so on.
Everyone never thought that there were so many truths in these seemingly ordinary affairs, and they were all fascinated by it. In the classroom, I could only hear Cheng Yue constantly talking about all kinds of systematic knowledge, and he didn't even pant loudly.
Some people originally thought that Cheng Yue said so much yesterday, but he was afraid that there would not be too much to talk about today, but he didn't expect that what he talked about today was even more novel and broad, unheard of, and he even talked about what the starry sky was like. Where can mortals know? But Ming Ming Cheng Yue took it for granted, and also told them that there was no heaven and hell at all. There are still clouds above the clouds, and beyond there are stars. There is magma under the ground, which is why there is a volcano. In addition to Venus and Mars, there is Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, but they all revolve around the Sun. The moon is actually a satellite of the Earth, and a lunar eclipse works exactly the same way as a solar eclipse. The earth is still rotating, so there are days and nights. And because it is oblique to the sun, there are four seasons. If the right angle is 90 degrees, then the oblique angle is 23.5 degrees.
Such shocking knowledge kept coming out of Cheng Yue's mouth, and was verified by Cheng Yue one by one.
Cheng Yue wrote and erased on the blackboard, erased and wrote, everyone was dumbfounded, and their eyes were full of awe and worship when they looked at Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue couldn't talk about this knowledge before, and if he did, he would only be used as a fallacy to confuse the public. But now it can.
Cheng Yue now has an incomparably huge prestige and a large group of subordinates who are almost blindly obedient. His brilliant achievements are enough for his words to be believed. And his scientific reasoning is simply impossible to refute.
What is going on with the tides, ocean currents, and Qiantang tides has aroused everyone's interest. Gravity, gravity, and buoyancy suddenly opened up to everyone. The mysterious things that everyone thought for a long time were unveiled by Cheng Yue one by one, and a new world appeared in front of everyone.
Some of the content, Cheng Yue had told people who studied industry and agriculture before, but the generals didn't have the opportunity to listen to it at that time, and now the generals finally understood why those people wanted to follow Cheng Yue to listen to his lectures, these things were too exciting, and I felt that I was really too confused before.
Everyone is desperately taking notes, and the shortcomings of the brush are exposed. But now the pencil has not been delivered, so I can only settle it first. Therefore, everyone divides their labor, and each person remembers a part and then adds it up, which is quite complete.
This lecture continued until late at night, and Cheng Yue dragged his tired body back to sleep.
On the third and fourth days, in the past few days when Cheng Yue came, the exercises stopped, and everyone was trying to get as many notes as possible and digest what Cheng Yue said as much as possible. If you don't understand something, take advantage of Cheng Yue's presence and quickly gather it and ask it well. Even if I was illiterate before, I have learned a lot of words in the past month or so, and I have worked hard to read what I can understand, and I have listened to others if I can't understand it.
Wang Bangjie said to Wang Juzhi with emotion: "I thought that military training was just those things, and when I saw Gongzi's drill code, I knew that military training was a university question." But when I heard Childe's lecture, I realized that Childe's military training was basically training generals. ”
Wang Juzhi said: "Yes, Gongzi is a pedantic celestial, and we can listen to the lectures, which is really a blessing for the cultivation in the previous life." Oh, there's nothing in the last life, so how do you say that? ”
Wang Bangjie shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do I know?" Let's just say that, I can't change it anyway. ”
The two of them have lost weight again because of their hard work in the past few days, and there is almost no fat. It also looks more sleek.
The two were about to rest, and a sergeant sent a message from Yang Ting to Cheng Yue.
The two didn't dare to slack off, and personally led people to find Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue hadn't slept yet, he took the letter, only glanced at it a few times, and a smile appeared on his face. said to the two: "I still have to work hard for you here, I want to go back to Changzhou to talk to Boyan." I'll leave tomorrow. ”
Wang Juzhi asked cautiously: "The Yuan Dynasty wants to talk about peace?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "It's started." ”
Wang Bangjie was stunned: "What started?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Our wrestling with the Yuan Dynasty has just begun. ”
