Chapter 263 The Restless Lin Zheng and Qin Tu
Xiao Qi has been in the palace, chatting with Emperor Zhao Shen for several hours.
Finally, he convinced his father-in-law, the emperor, that in the future he would be both literate and able to learn some skills that ordinary people did not understand. Such scholars would be the real future of the Song Dynasty.
The kind of useless scholars who only read the books of sages and can't carry them on their shoulders or hands will be eliminated.
But Xiao Qi also comforted his father-in-law, saying that he would not force the common people to send their children to the school he ran.
He will let those common people slowly discover that sending children to schools is more beneficial than sending them to private schools.
As a result, the common people are conscious of themselves, instead of spending a lot of money to send their children to private schools, and eventually cultivate children and grandchildren who are like waste.
It's better to send them to a school so that the children can not only learn a craft, but also let the children be literate, and learn some principles of life.
If things go on like this, those so-called Confucian private schools will either make changes themselves and turn their private schools into new schools, or they will be eliminated and they will disappear in history.
At first, Zhao Shen was worried that those Confucian scholars would make trouble, and in the end, no one could be used in Song Dynasty.
Xiao Qi told Zhao Shen that there was Changsheng Camp in the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who it was, it was impossible for anyone to cause any disturbance in the Great Song Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be quick for those Confucian scholars to get the swords that really wanted to try the Changsheng Camp?
Even if all those Confucian scholars united and refused to serve as officials in the court, students from the Song Dynasty Advanced Technical College could completely replace them.
Even those Confucian scholars who passed the Jinshi examination first went to the prefectures and counties below to serve as the most basic low-level officials, and they were tempered step by step.
And the Confucians will never give up their official career, otherwise they will really lose their appeal to scholars. Why do people in the world look up to scholars.
Isn't it because they may become officials in the future?
If they themselves abandon this path, it will not be long before the people of the world will no longer remember Confucianism.
Although Zhao Shen was persuaded by Xiao Qi, he was still worried that something would happen.
After Xiao Qi left, he ran to the harem to discuss with his cheap father, Zhao Gou, what to do if those Confucian scholars really make trouble in the future.
After Zhao Gou listened to Zhao Shen's complete narration of what Xiao Qi said, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Xiao Qi had such a big plan and wanted to replace the behemoth of Confucianism. It seems that we all underestimated him at the beginning. !”
Zhao Shen asked with some concern: "Father, if this goes on, will our Great Song Dynasty be in chaos, my son is a little worried!"
Zhao Gou shook his head and smiled wryly: "Don't worry, my son. Then Xiao Qi would never act rashly. If Xiao Qi hadn't told you personally, would you have thought of his real intention of running the school? Just look at the fact that the Confucians don't notice it at all, so you know it. This is bound to happen.”
Zhao Shen was very puzzled: "Why is the father so optimistic about Xiao Qi? Those Confucian disciples are all over the world. If they find out that Xiao Qi's new school threatens them in the future, it will definitely be a big mess!"
"Haha! My son only thinks that the students of Confucianism are everywhere in the world, but have you ever thought that the students from the new school will be all over the world? Look at where the students from the new school have gone, and you know that Confucianism can't make a big wave. "
After listening to Zhao Gou's words, Zhao Shen thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized!
When the students from the new school came out, they either went to the various workshops in the Changsheng Camp, or went to the workshops of the Great Song Foundry Bureau in various places to make various weapons for the Changsheng Camp.
Some of them are even the sergeants of the Changsheng Battalion who go directly to those schools to study, and then they can be promoted and reused immediately after returning to the Changsheng Battalion. If the Confucianists want to destroy the new schools, they probably have already done so before they even start The corpses they killed were scattered all over the field.
Zhao Gou finally sighed: "Our royal family should not get involved in the affairs of the two of them. It is better to let things like this take its course. No matter where they lose, they have nothing to say about their skills being inferior to others."
Seeing that Zhao Shen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Zhao Gou waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to the ministers in the court asking you to intervene, this Confucianism is indeed degenerate now, and it always uses the power of the court to help them eliminate dissidents, hmph! A bunch of trash , villain!"
When Xiao Qi got home, he was busy with the affairs of the casting bureau. He didn't know anything about what Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen and his son said.
For him now, stepping up to build the propeller that the system just rewarded, and the underwater waterproof transmission system are more important than anything else.
But after a period of research, Xiao Qi found that it was too difficult to produce this kind of thing relying on the current technology.
Fortunately, propellers can be produced in the near future with industrial machine tools.
But the underwater waterproof transmission system is much more difficult, because it needs to build a fully enclosed shell, and it is impossible to produce that thing with the current technology.
Xiao Qi finally had to modify the drawing, changing the originally closed component into two parts cut in half from the middle, and drilling holes in the corresponding places of the two parts.
After the things inside are installed, the surrounding area is covered with rubber sealing rings, and then fixed with bolts to achieve a sealing effect.
After sending the revised drawings to the Foundry Bureau for construction, Xiao Qi became busy with the textile factory and the laying of the first railway.
He is so busy these days that he never touches the ground, sometimes Xiao Qi even wants to lead the army to fight directly.
Manufacturing is so frustrating. Many things seem very simple, but when I actually try to make them, I find that the current technical capabilities are simply not up to par. We still need to explore and experiment while making them.
However, Xiao Qi worked tirelessly every day to study the difficulties encountered in the production of various machines with the senior craftsmen of the foundry bureau, and made those problems always be solved quickly.
Time passed like this for more than two months. On this day, Xiao Qi suddenly got news that the speed of railway laying between Pingjiang City and Shanghai Port was suddenly much faster.
Xiao Qi was very puzzled, the previous construction speed was already very fast, could it be that the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion increased the working hours for the prisoners of war who were building the railway in order to build the railway as soon as possible?
This is not possible. Heavy physical work such as laying railways will strain the physical fitness of those prisoners of war too much, and these prisoners of war will soon cross. If the railways are not completed, these people will die in large numbers.
Xiao Qi was planning to go to the route where the railway was laid, to check what was going on.
Zhang Xiu suddenly sent a servant from the palace to invite him to go home.
Xiao Qi didn't know why Zhang Xiu suddenly wanted him to go home so urgently, so he hurried back to Zhenbei Palace.
At the entrance of the Wangfu, I saw dozens of carriages full of boxes parked in front of the Wangfu. Many soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion and servants of the Wangfu were busy carrying these boxes to the mansion.
After entering the palace, a general led by the Changsheng Battalion hurried over to meet the commander-in-chief.
When Xiao Qi asked, he found out that these soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion were sent by Lin Zheng and Qin Tu from the south, and these carts were full of trophies from their campaigns in the south!
Dozens of cars have been sent to him, and more than 100 cars have been sent to the palace.
Xiao Qi suddenly understood in his heart that Lin Zheng and Qin Tu must have nothing to do. After pacifying the island countries in Southeast Asia, they took Changsheng Camp to the west.
He asked Lin Zheng and Qin Tu when they started their army and where they fought now.
The general didn't dare to hide it, saying that the two generals Lin Zheng and Qin Tu had heard that the marshal was going to build cement roads and railways in the Song Dynasty, and now there were simply not enough prisoners of war.
So after discussing with the two generals Lin Zheng and Qin Tu, they led the Changsheng Battalion to take a boat to Chenla, and started from there, and then defeated Tang Ming (the ancient name of Laos) and Siam, and now Bagan (the ancient name of Myanmar) Most of it has been captured.
Fifty thousand prisoners of war have been transported back before, and [-] prisoners of war will be transported in succession in the future to build roads.
This time he was sent back, firstly to bring spoils to the imperial court and King Zhenbei, and also to ask the commander to send some soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion over there.
Because the occupied area was too large, the soldiers under the two generals could barely garrison the occupied area, and they could no longer spare too many manpower to fight.
And even if the territory is laid down again, there will not be enough manpower to garrison it.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he was really angry and funny, these two bastards brought only over one hundred thousand soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion under them, plus Long Yongsheng's tens of thousands of sailors, they took down three and a half small countries!
But at this time, he couldn't care less about calling those bastards back to slap them. They had too few soldiers, and they had captured so many places. The Annan and other places that had already been occupied were better, and there were many Great Songs who moved south. The common people can temporarily elect soldiers to garrison.
Those newly conquered places must not be occupied by you so honestly, and someone will take the lead in rebelling.
Now come to say that there is a shortage of manpower, it must be that these two guys are already in a hurry.
Xiao Qi hurriedly sent an order to order the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion in his territory in the north to select 20 soldiers and sail southward in batches to support Lin Zheng, Qin and Tu.
After the soldiers took his military order and rushed to the north, Xiao Qi thought about asking what was going on in the south.
This general named Zhang Chenggong hurriedly described the situation in the south to Xiao Qi.
It turns out that Lin Zheng and Qin Tu didn't plan to fight so far at the beginning. They just wanted to fight a few battles and capture some prisoners of war to send to work.
Who knew that after this beating, the two of them would be unable to hold back, and the soldiers over there ran away as soon as they were beating, and captured too few prisoners of war. As a result, Lin Zheng and Qin Tu were thinking of capturing more prisoners of war, or fighting Addicted.
It has become what it is now, the area that has been laid down is too large, and the soldiers under him are only the minimum number of people stationed in each place. Now there are not many soldiers left under the two generals who can continue to attack.
Xiao Qi was really speechless when he heard that, with Da Song's weapons and equipment, where would he go to fight without crushing his opponent?
These two bastards were actually addicted to fighting. They didn't wake up until their soldiers were assigned to garrison in various places and there were no more soldiers to continue fighting.
Fortunately, these two bastards are still sober, knowing that there are too few of them, and they want to occupy there for a long time. It turns out that the manpower will definitely be exhausted to deal with the local anti-resistance army, so I begged myself to send troops there.
Xiao Qi didn't intend to punish these two guys, anyway, there will be a fight sooner or later, since the two guys started the fight ahead of time, let's fight.
Besides, you can't clean up these two guys now, they are fighting a war, and sending Zhang Jiangong and Ma Shoucheng, who are not familiar with the local conditions, might as well let these two bastards finish the war.
As for how to deal with these two bastards later, as long as we send someone to replace them and keep them in the Song Dynasty for a period of time, these two bellicose bastards will definitely be driven crazy!
Next, Xiao Qi didn't care about moving those boxes to the palace, and hurried to the palace.
It is no small matter to mobilize 20 troops at once, so you have to tell the emperor about it.
Although Emperor Zhao Shen is his father-in-law, and he doesn't care much about matters with Changsheng Camp.
But the Changsheng Camp is the army of the Song Dynasty after all. If you mobilized 20 troops to fight, if you don't tell the emperor quickly, then it will be an excuse for other ministers to attack yourself.
Xiao Qi thought that if he went to the palace to ask for an imperial edict, then this matter would be perfect.
When they arrived at the palace, Lin Zheng and Qin Tu conquered several small kingdoms in the south. As a result, their troops were not enough, so they told Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen about the urgent need to send more troops.
After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou and Emperor Zhao Shen stood up in surprise, Zhao Gou couldn't believe his ears, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion in the south were only in the early [-]s.
Originally thinking that there were too few troops to guard Annan and other places, they actually conquered half of the Song Dynasty's territory!
Zhao Gou sighed and said: "Just now I told the emperor that the southern countries are so rich, and they sent nearly [-] carts of goods in a short time. territory!"
Zhao Shen didn't have time to sigh, and hurriedly issued an order, saying that the Changsheng Battalion won another great victory in the southern countries, and ordered Zhenbei King Xiao Qi to send troops to help, and all matters concerning the Changsheng Battalion going to sea to fight in the future will be fully in charge of the Zhenbei King. You only need to file after dispatching troops.
This imperial edict is exactly what Xiao Qi wants, and it is the most suitable edict for Xiao Qi's current situation.
Xiao Qi quickly received the order to thank him.
After finishing the business, Xiao Qi chatted with Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen for more than an hour, and marked out on the map where and how big the places that Lin Zheng and Qin Tu took down this time were.
After Xiao Qi said goodbye and left for a long time, Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen, father and son, were still looking at Xiao Qi's painting of the new territory of the Great Song Dynasty and were very excited.
A retired emperor and a current emperor, while looking at the large southern territory drawn by Xiao Qi on the map, they were so excited that they asked the imperial kitchen to cook a large table of dishes. The two drank and chatted until late at night.
After Xiao Qi returned to the palace, he was not idle, and immediately sent his own soldiers to send orders to mobilize all the large ships from various ports in the Song Dynasty to Dongying Port, so as to send the 20 troops to the south as soon as possible.
Because there was plenty of rain and the weather was hot and humid, Xiao Qi not only ordered the logistics to make gunpowder and other materials waterproof and moisture-proof, but also mobilized many military doctors who knew tropical diseases to bring medicines and go south with the army.
At this point, a battle that was not planned by Xiao Qi, the Song Dynasty's battle to conquer overseas countries began ahead of schedule.
