As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"Huh? Hutouzhai is easy to understand. What's the situation with the Wei family and his son?"

"This has to be said slowly..."

"You'd better speak clearly within three sentences, I don't have time to listen to your gossip."

"This...Old man Wei bribed the county magistrate before to get a government official who assists in the arrest of robbers, so he came down from the mountain and lived in the city."

"How many people do they have under their command?"

"Old man Wei has more than 30 good players. Hutou Village was fine before, but since old man Wei became an assistant arrester, life has become more and more difficult. Right now, the core is only about twenty people."

"...Two...Twenty?" Song Jie's mouth twitched.

"My lord, you don't know, but don't underestimate these 20 people. They are all good players with one as ten. Even if the court comes with 800 people, they can't take them down. Old man Wei is also afraid of making Mr. Zhang anxious, so he didn't Keep messing with them."

"provoke?"

"There are only so many fat sheep. The brothers of the two families have to eat, right? If there is no food, who will be the thieves!"

Song Jie's mouth twitched even more.

He could see that Hua Manlou wanted to investigate thieves by himself just to sharpen the Tianjin navy, but...

There are more than 5000 people in the Tianjin Navy, even if one is against ten, two No. 30 thieves are not enough!

"However, Mr. Zhang's life is really difficult. A few days ago, the second son Fang in his village went down to drink and complained a few times, saying that Mr. Zhang intends to vote for the court, and he also said that Mr. Hua from Xishan, the capital, is seeking talents. Thirsty, most of the craftsmen in Shuntian Prefecture have voted for it, and their lives are booming. Then this martial arts is also considered a craft, so maybe it will be prosperous if you vote for him? It’s just that the people in the village feel a little unreliable, what about the court? , who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!"

"Uh……"

Not only Song Jie, but even the teenagers around him were speechless.

What the hell is this?

After dismissing the two rogues, Song Jie still didn't regain his strength. After scratching his head for a long time, a young man came over and said, "Boss, why don't we... let's go see that third master?"

Song Jie had a stomach ache and said, "Why are you going to see him?"

"Didn't he intend to vote for Mr. Qian, so Mr. Qian brought Tianjin Wei here, and after he figured out the situation, he would be demoted. Instead of letting Mr. Qian go for nothing, why don't I just wait and be a lobbyist?" ?”

"It seems...that makes sense?"

At this time, Song Jie didn't know that he was walking on a road that would affect the war against Japan...

364. Cultivate Your Uncle

"This... is this the famous thieves?"

Looking at the people kneeling at the gate of the house, the corners of Hua Manlou's mouth kept twitching.

The famous Bazhou thieves, the thieves in the mountains and forests, who set up a rebellion if they disagreed with each other, but the group of men kneeling in front of them who didn't raise their heads...

Where is it ringing?Are there any horses?

From Song Jie's description, Huamanlou gradually erased the images of benevolent and righteous people...and vicious rebels in film and television dramas, and replaced them with a group of gangsters—yes, this is not the case. Is it just a group of mixed society people?

Originally, they wanted to find a group of bandits to sharpen their knives for the Tianjin navy, but a small team of scouts was released and brought them back. This...

Which psychopath wrote the script?

If I remember correctly, the uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Bazhou during the Zhengde period seemed to last for more than three years, and the scope was also very large...

Oh, during Zhengde there was an unlucky Liu Jin who went around wreaking havoc on the Ming Dynasty?

That's fine.

In reality, although Da Zhao had many problems, Emperor Guangxing was the master of Zhongxing after all. It can be seen from the fact that so many people spontaneously prayed to him when he pretended to be sick. Life is better than ever.

It is precisely because of this that there are far fewer thieves in Bazhou—just like what Hua Manlou said before: If life can go on, who would like to wear their head on their belt?

The reason is this, but how to deal with this urge to vomit blood?

Song Jie stood in front of Huamanlou and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Qian, Hutou village was surrendered after the bidder revealed his identity. At first, the bidder was afraid that they would cheat, but later he found out that there was a carpenter in their village." I went to our West Mountain, and after living a good life, I asked people to bring me several times and asked them to serve Mr. Qian. Just a few days ago, the carpenter persuaded me once again, saying that it is better to come here than to spend nothing in Bazhou. The chief executive of Tianjin Weitou killed Japanese pirates, not to mention confiding his wife and son. Killing Japanese pirates has a better reputation than thieves. After being a thieves, their children will be looked down upon..."

"So they were wondering whether they should come to vote. After the bid was accepted, as soon as they revealed their identities, they thought that the carpenter and Mr. Qian had mentioned this matter, and Mr. Qian sent me to pick them up..." Song Jie said I can't go down.

After hearing this, Hua Manlou's expression became distorted, and he thought for a long time before saying, "Find out that carpenter and punish him...well, punish him to serve as the director of the teaching department as well!"

A carpenter recruited a group of gangsters, how annoying!The director of the teaching department is suitable for a person like him, right?

After Song Jie agreed, Hua Manlou pointed to another group of kneeling men farther away and said: "Then what about those people?"

Song Jie coughed twice and said, "Those are old man Wei."

"What's the situation with them? They also have relatives and friends in Xishan?"

"That's not true." Song Jie explained dryly: "Just... I thought about it, since I've been recruited, it's better to recruit old man Wei, so I asked the people from Hutou Village to take me to find him. he……"

"They plan to join the army after you go?"

"It's not, it's just..." Song Jie seemed a little embarrassed: "After I went... Then what, didn't Lao Wei have some disagreements with Hutou Village? I was lying to him, and I was going to drive him away, so... At that time, the bid was very impulsive, and I said something that Mr. Qian taught me every day..."

Hua Manlou asked puzzledly, "I... teach you? What are you talking about?"

"Ah, to be a hero in life, to be a hero in death, and everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Song Jie scratched his head and continued: "Then Old Wei was moved."

Hua Manlou said speechlessly: "...That's it? So he came with you too?"

Song Jie was not sure: "Is it? But later the bidder also figured out that Lao Wei bribed Bazhou magistrate to be an assistant arrester. Originally, he wanted to live a good life, but the magistrate was insatiable. Recently, he asked for more and more. So the life of the Wei family is not easy, and it is estimated that there is also a reason for this, that's why... they followed the subordinates."

"And what, after knowing the illegal evidence of the magistrate, the bidder sent a message to Dongchang, presumably the magistrate will be taken down in two days..." Song Jie looked at Huamanlou cautiously, and added : "After knowing this, the old Wei who was about to be forced to death by the county magistrate will be loyal to Mr. Qian..."

Hua Manlou stared blankly at Song Jie: "A few days ago, who said that I went off the rails? Huh? Which killer?"

Song Jie pointed at his nose in embarrassment: "This... this killer..."

"...I suddenly found that you are very talented to be my captain." Hua Manlou was speechless for a long time, but he couldn't hold back his complaints: "Can you do a lobbyist? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, you Do you also want to be the director of the political and educational department? Why didn't you find out that you have this ability before?"

Song Jie was even more embarrassed: "Mr. Qian's absurd praise... yes... Mr. Qian's teaching is good, and it's just the right time..."

"Go away, go away!" Hua Manlou rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Under normal circumstances, this is actually a good thing.

The so-called ban on martial arts, such a group of armed and violent groups will have a great impact on social security if they are left alone, and there will be some life lawsuits every now and then, so it is actually a great achievement to incorporate them.

But having said that, now that the war against the Japanese pirates is imminent, if there is such a group of people who can practice their hands for the Tianjin navy, the fight against the Japanese pirates will not be much smoother, but in the end, they are suddenly recruited by the bastard Song Jie, and this matter is troublesome...

Of course, the small number of thieves was beyond Hua Manlou's expectations. If such a small number of people really wanted to practice their skills, they would probably have to be equipped with a large dose of priests to use resurrection spells in groups.

Once Huamanlou thought about it, he stopped being entangled. He glanced at the thieves and robbers who were kneeling everywhere. After getting them up, Huamanlou tried to squeeze out a smile to appease him, and then kicked Song Jie: "These people will It's up to you, you can teach them discipline according to the rules of Xishan, and continue...well, continue to say that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of your world!"

Song Jie was taken aback for a moment, and immediately saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your cultivation!"

With this sentence, Song Jie was promoted from a small banner to a hundred households, almost a triple jump in promotion.

"Cultivate your uncle, take them and go to the navy's side non-stop, I'm upset when I see you!"

"Here!"

Although Song Jie was relieved a little, the actual problem was still not resolved.

What can I do if I can't train soldiers?

Now Huamanlou suddenly missed the White Lotus Sect. If the original Bailian Tianjin Fenlian was still there, the situation would be better than this, right?After all, Bai Lian took rebellion as her mission, but the thieves...

The two gangsters are in a group, so they don't give much effort to fight, don't they?

365. Maritime base

After recruiting thieves and robbers, Huamanlou really couldn't find a similar opponent to practice for Tianjin Navy.

Not to mention Shuntian Mansion, it's embarrassing that they can't be found in the entire Beizhili territory, and they can't really take a large army to Liaodong to clean up the Jurchens first, right?

However, some of Song Jie's actions still reminded Hua Manlou that he had begun to give political lessons to the Tianjin Navy, at least let them know why he was fighting.

For example, the bandits who joined the army came here to live a good life, and secondly, they also wanted to use their abilities on the right path, and finally gained a good reputation-the bandits who robbed houses could not be called anti-Japanese heroes. Sounds good?Even if you have a child in the future, it won't make people say that they are the offspring of bandits, right?

Therefore, it is still very important to understand the needs—for low-level soldiers, the cake is a bit big, and it is estimated that no one is willing to listen to him working for nothing, so it is better to talk about the bonus incentive mechanism and military merits.

This is the same as some companies in Huamanlou's previous life. They only said in a general way that promotion would be useful in the future?And if the salary is not paid in place, isn't it a hooligan who only talks about contribution?

And it turns out that the majority of employees are definitely not unwilling to work overtime, but whether overtime work can be paid accordingly is fundamental.According to the survey, there are many people who are willing to be 007 with high salaries, but the managers of some companies always think about how to make employees pay more, but are not willing to give corresponding returns. This is simply tantamount to hooliganism.

Therefore, Hua Manlou first reviewed the hard days of the guards for the soldiers of the Tianjin Navy, and then talked about the benefits after the reform and what benefits everyone will have after fighting the Japanese pirates, and promised to die in battle There are pensions from the imperial court, etc., and finally we talk about the righteousness and honor of the country.

I have to say that although this approach is not a solution, the soldiers of the Tianjin Navy are still soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, but at any rate they have begun to have a fighting spirit, which is very good.

In addition, Huamanlou is also looking forward to improving the combat effectiveness of the navy in other aspects, but after thinking about it, he really doesn't have much to do except to use combat as a substitute for training and improve hardware facilities. The improvement of the ship also requires research and development and multiple experiments, such as reducing the width of the hull, making a sharp-bottomed boat, increasing sails, and so on.

Although Hua Manlou doesn't know much about sailing boats, at least he can see the difference between the width and length ratio of the current hull and the hull ratio of the boats he saw in his previous life. He also knows that most of the boats in his previous life were sharp-bottomed boats, so this does not It does not prevent him from providing this idea to the shipwrights.

In addition, Hua Manlou also brought the set of things he implemented in Xishan to the shipbuilders of the Tianjin Navy, such as "proposing goals-brainstorming-grouping experiments and making detailed records-delivering finished products-summarizing and learning from each other' .

Because, anyone with a little knowledge knows that the craftsmanship and wisdom of the ancestors are indeed outstanding, but the only thing missing is from practice to theory, integrating all practices into a systematic theoretical basis to guide practice.

That is to say, no matter what aspects, they didn't delve into 'why this happened', but just stopped at 'no way, things are like this, and they can't be done like that'.

In short, this is what Hua Manlou told Emperor Guangxing: Action is the beginning of knowledge, and knowledge is the end of action.

For example, quenching, blacksmiths all know that quenching is needed, but they don't know why it is quenched, and what works in quenching.Another example is traditional Chinese medicine. Nowadays, most doctors know where the lesion is and how to treat it, but they don't know what it is that works.

So what Huamanlou wants is to find out these things. Although the research conditions are very harsh due to the limitations of the times, at least with this idea, many things can be put on the right track.

In addition, quantitative indicators are also a rather painful thing.

Take the most prominent blacksmiths in Xishan as an example. Before entering Xishan, they relied on their experience whether they were making iron or blacksmithing. This is the reason why craftsmen are more valuable as they get older. However, from a scientific point of view, such an approach is indeed a bit rough, which is not conducive to technological progress.

Therefore, the initial requirement of Huamanlou in Xishan is to quantify, even if it cannot be quantified, certain things must be listed in detail-for example, the temperature of the fire cannot be quantified for the time being, then describe the state of the fire in detail, and even Take some metal segments with a lower melting point than iron to measure a rough indicator.

For example, when making alloys, Huamanlou had asked the people in the alloy laboratory to record in detail the type and weight of alloys, even if it was a failed product, and even set aside a large The house is dedicated to storing these things and keeping samples and experimental data.

Things like this have become the norm in Xishan now, and as craftsmen began to read, many craftsmen even began to consciously summarize certain things into books for the convenience of others to study. This matter...

Even Hua Manlou herself didn't think of it.

For the shipbuilder, the quantitative indicators have become what kind of wood can make a better boat, what shape of the hull can speed up, and how much faster this kind of boat is than the existing boat under the same conditions—and requires It needs detailed experimental records, not a cloudy description.

Just like Xishan, the shipwrights gradually did not understand Huamanlou's request from the beginning, but gradually became supportive. Finally, some people even became fanatical, talking about data, measurements, and experiments all day long. And a considerable number of shipwrights put forward bold ideas, and with the support of Huamanlou, they started new research projects with their apprentices.

In this way, some study ship shapes, some study sails, some study wood, some study water flow, and even special research on rivets, and Huamanlou received the most outrageous research application for a self-explosive ship. How many dynamites can blow up the Dafu boat...

Of course, this topic was rejected by Huamanlou, and instead asked the crazy shipbuilder to go directly to Xishan Pudu Research and Development Department to study for a period of time, and then develop a sea mine that can float in the water and explode when it hits an enemy ship .

As for whether it can be researched, Hua Manlou doesn't care too much. Anyway, having an idea is much better than having no idea, isn't it?

All in all, through Hua Manlou's operation, the Naval Shipyard was transformed into a maritime research base in an instant. Even he himself felt that the speed of this transformation was a bit exaggerated.

Of course, many research and development require a lot of financial support and a lot of time to accumulate, but there is no way to do more right now-with the installation and commissioning of the warship artillery, the Tianjin Navy has been completely established.

After a series of running-in and drills, at the end of August in the 13th year of Guangxing, Hua Manlou led dozens of large and small naval ships and more than [-] soldiers, bypassing the Jiaozhou Peninsula via the Bohai Sea, and went straight to Songjiang Mansion.

366. Chen Shan?

Sailing is actually quite boring.

The activity area is only that big, and the sea is just sparkling or choppy, and there is no other scenery to see at all, so even Qi Wanrong, who was cheering and jumping when she went out to sea, soon became depressed, chasing after Huamanlou from time to time Ask: "When can I arrive?"

Hua Manlou had a black thread: "You have asked eight times in this hour, can't you find something to do yourself? I'm busy!"

"You have been looking at this chart for eight hours a day. Can you find the Japanese pirates?" Qi Wanrong said convincingly: "If you can't find the Japanese pirates, it's useless to look at them. What's the matter with me at this time?" ?”

The truth is this, but this is Huamanlou's first time leading an army. It is impossible to say that he is not nervous, so he keeps assuming various situations, and strives to respond quickly to various situations.

"Alas..." Hua Manlou sighed, put down the chart in his hand and stood up, "It was a complete mistake to bring you here..."

Qi Wanrong was not angry when she heard the words, she pulled Hua Manlou out of the command warehouse with a smile, walked to the side of the boat and said, "You are too tense, it is not good. My father said before that the wartime commander's The performance is enough to affect the three armies. If the coach is too nervous, then the soldiers below will naturally lose confidence; but if the coach is indifferent, then most of the soldiers will calm down. But look at you, look around , where is the atmosphere of victory here?"

Hua Manlou was taken aback when he heard the words, then sighed, "Your father is right."

He also understands this truth, and the role of the coach in this era is greater, just like the Battle of Chibi, if Zhou Gongjin is afraid to fight, how can Soochow win a big victory?

But after all, it was his first expedition, and it was the first battle of the Tianjin Navy, so no matter how he knew the truth, he would inevitably be nervous.

Thinking of this, Hua Manlou rubbed his face: "Okay, okay, let's walk around with you... Anyway, there is only so much space on the boat."

Qi Wanrong smiled and said, "Have you figured it out? See how kind your aunt is to you!"
