When night fell, Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the other 56 people went to sleep at Yaowang Mountain. There was nothing else to do at home, so Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan prepared to start training at Yaowang Mountain.
The 56 people were arranged to take a medicinal bath that was originally prepared for the common people to work here. They were also massaged by the people who came to experiment with acupuncture and massage. Only then could they rest.
The so-called rest meant that they didn't need to do anything physically, but they still needed to use their brains. Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao personally taught them how to read. The original guards felt that they could finally relax at this time. They had already learned a lot of words, so they could rest if the Young Master taught them how to read.
However, because they knew a lot of words and read some books, Wang Juan found them and began to teach them some combat tactical arrangements. She felt that she had learned a lot, and with some books here and what she knew, Wang Juan made such a tactical training book.
The sand table was made by Wang Juan, and the map was also drawn. It was just some of the terrain here.
"In a narrow area, the long-range suppression of the bow and arrow must be able to shoot farther and kill the enemy's strength in the middle and rear. In a narrow area, the role of a single soldier is especially important. They must be used to cooperate with each other and protect the archers at the back. No matter the terrain, there can be roundabout and can be interspersed. Be flexible and excited. Don't be limited by the situation in front of you …"
Wang Juan pointed with a pointer on the sand table and told the 16 people what she had sorted out. From time to time, she would stop and explain the meaning of a certain word. She even made small people holding weapons and comparing them with each other.
At the beginning, the 16 people listened to a general explanation of the tactics, so they could still follow. But after listening to the professional terms and all kinds of strange ideas, they lost confidence.
"Why are you so stupid? War was very simple. It was to think of a way to effectively kill the enemy, and think of a way to prevent the enemy from killing the enemy. Using everything that could be used, even thinking about each other. Yes, one of these thoughts was called inertial thinking.
In this aspect, Xiao Bao is more knowledgeable. I'll give you a general idea first. When the time comes, I'll let Xiao Bao teach you properly. It's a very interesting subject. Let's do it again. Even if you don't fully understand it now, you have to remember it. When you're divided into groups for training, you can use it to combine it with practice. "
Wang Juan looked at the sixteen pairs of blank eyes and sighed. The sixteen people lowered their heads in embarrassment. They really didn't understand. At the same time, they were more in awe of the little young master and the little young lady. Although they didn't understand, they understood that the little young lady was talking about the matters of war. This was usually something that only the great generals knew. The little young lady also knew.
"Little young lady, you haven't said what the position of this soldier should be." A person picked up the small figure next to the sand table and asked Wang Juan.
Wang Juan glanced at it and said, "It's not a soldier. It's a person who is equipped with sleeve arrows and crossbows. If you really encounter danger and need to fight with the enemy, I don't want you to directly use swords, spears, and shields to fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat after shooting the crossbows.
I'll ask someone to mass produce them. When the time comes, I'll equip you with them. If you really need to use short-range weapons first, you can shoot the sleeve arrows and crossbows first. At a distance of a few steps, the enemy shouldn't be able to dodge. There's also the flying knife. You have to practice it in the future. Ask Xiao Bao for this. He can use an inch-long steel needle to penetrate glass from ten steps away.
In short, our request is that you can kill the people who are a threat to us at a farther distance. Don't kill them at a medium distance. If you can reach a medium distance, don't come close. If you can, don't use swords. If you can use swords, don't use fists. "
"Ah, I know, little young lady. Are the long-range arrows the bow and the medium-range arrows the sleeve arrows?" A guard was very excited when he heard Wang Juan's words. If they were equipped with such things, they could save their lives to a greater extent when they encountered danger. The sleeve arrows were not cheap and were exquisitely made.
"The bow and arrow are the medium-range arrows. You don't need to know the long-range arrows now. You will know it later. Go on and listen carefully."
Wang Juan placed the small figures one by one and repeated what she had just said.
Zhang Xiaobao was also teaching 40 illiterate people. A blackboard and a piece of chalk. Write a word on it. Zhang Xiaobao recited it, and the 40 people recited it.
At this time, one piece of chalk had been used up. Zhang Xiaobao replaced it with another piece. The chalk was not bad. It was made of lime and gypsum. When he was researching this thing, he flipped through many books. In the end, he found the Shen Nong's Materia Medica in a medical book.
Wang Juan was very surprised at that time. The things written in this book could be used in the chemical industry. A lot of things could be found. Now, she was working hard to read the medical book. She was preparing to collect the materials in the future to make something else.
There was also the sulfuric acid mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill Scripture. This made Wang Juan very depressed. She wanted to make something, so she didn't read the engineering book, but the medical book.
"Okay, remember these words today. 15 of them. You have to keep reciting and memorizing. Tomorrow at this time, I will test you. If you don't remember it, then you don't have to sleep at night. You can only rest when you remember it.
Now, start practicing calligraphy. Copy other people's posts. This is my father's writing, so follow my father's writing. Regular script, stroke by stroke. Forget it, let's practice the strokes first. Tomorrow, I will ask my father to write a post with strokes. "
Zhang Xiaobao wrote 15 simple words and took out some brushes, ink, and paper. After thinking for a while, he put them away, leaving only brushes and water. He asked people to bring over a few thin planks and wrote some words with water. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Write on this. I won't give you paper and ink first."
The 40 people didn't object. Usually, they did manual work. If they were given paper and ink, they wouldn't be able to write anything. That was all money. One by one, they imitated Zhang Xiaobao. They picked up the brushes and wrote on the planks with trembling hands.
Some people used a lot of strength and only wrote a few strokes. They couldn't see what the strokes were, but sweat had already seeped out of their foreheads.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at them and encouraged them, "Don't give up. Take it slow. No one can write well on the first try, except for Liu 'er. In the future, you will not only be members of the Seedling Protection Team, but also generals who can command battles at critical times. Some people have to fight for their lives. Now that you don't have the chance, you can only learn from other places."
The 40 people nodded fiercely. No one would give up the opportunity to learn to read. Even if Zhang Xiaobao didn't say it, they would still insist. What's more, they could write according to the words of the top scorer tomorrow. If this news spread, many people would be envious.
Wang Juan didn't say much. She just repeated it. If there was something she didn't understand, she would ask and explain it bit by bit. She also cooperated with the sandbox and the little people. Zhang Xiaobao asked people to practice. He had nothing to do for a while, so he strolled to Wang Juan's side. Looking at the sandbox and the little people, he suddenly said,
"Isn't it interesting to make a chessboard game? Get more little people and play dice on the narrow street. Move forward, move backward, or randomly pick a question. If you get it right, you will be rewarded. If you get it wrong, you will be punished. You can also let the little people bring goods and use them to buy and sell in different places under different conditions to make money.
You can even add military things. Two of the same board, or more. For example, if there are two boards, you and I will each be in a room, separated by a curtain, and each of us will use the little people to set up a layout, ambush, or attack.
Find someone to watch from the side and make a rule for casualties, weather, and troop types. When my people are ambushed by your people, the person watching will reduce my people by a part according to the rule.
You can also do this to make money. For example, you and I both buy vegetable oil and sell it elsewhere. In the end, you sell it. Then, my people who go there later will naturally lose money. Add some transportation fees, preservation time of the goods, and other rules. What do you think? "
When Wang Juan heard this, she didn't immediately say anything. She stood there thinking. Suddenly, she turned her head, held Zhang Xiaobao's face, and kissed it hard.
"Xiao Bao, you are too smart. When the time comes, we will send people to check the terrain in various places and leave the detailed ones for ourselves to make military maps and sand tables. The game we make will not be so detailed. We will let people set up shops in various places.
Not only can children play, but also adults can play. We will let people make three-dimensional maps made of wood. We will do the same for the little people. We will make some of the different troop types. The more detailed they are, the more soldiers they represent. The more detailed they are, the more powerful they are.
We will hold competitions in various places. Other than using money to buy maps and little people, we can also set up points in various shops. When the time comes, we can use the points to exchange for things. We will make unique marks on our maps and little people. The kind that is not easy to imitate. We will even record when we sell some valuable little people and maps.
In each shop, we will hold a big competition every season. The winner will receive our prize in the end. The rule is that the other party will have to compensate for the number of soldiers they have taken away in battle.
Even the children of poor families can use the prize they got when they played for the first time to continue playing. As long as they are smart enough, they can compete with the rich. In this aspect, there is no fairness. It is not that if you only have one soldier, others will not beat you if they have ten thousand soldiers. As long as you accept the challenge, or if you are chosen according to the rules, you have to accept the challenge.
It is the same in business. If a person with a copper coin wants to compete with a person with a lot of money, then he has to use that copper coin to work hard. This world is unfair. Let the children know from a young age that there is no need to beg for fairness. If they want to obtain more, they have to fight for it themselves.
Xiao Bao, do you have anything to add? This matter must be done. We will cultivate the talents of Great Tang from a young age. When the time comes, we will look for talents here. No, Xiao Bao, do you have a backup plan? "
