In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when it was monopolized by nobles, relatives, and eunuchs, the martial arts hall mentioned by Lantian was indeed a new thing. All famous generals were basically trained by their families. This is how the so-called generals came.
The ancient military adopted a elimination system. Basic soldiers must have extraordinary martial arts skills, be able to protect themselves on the battlefield, have high martial arts values and have understanding before they can be promoted to basic positions such as fire leader, team leader, and officer. These positions only require understanding and execution. Commands play a coordinating role in uploading and issuing.
The idea of a martial arts hall came from Lantian's concern that the Shu Kingdom would have no successors. In the later period of the Shu Kingdom, both civil and military affairs were in decline, and talents were the key to success in any era.
Lantian doesn't expect to be able to train commanders like Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, as long as they can have a group of outstanding middle-level officers.
Lantian was not from a military academy, and he had no systematic training methods. Even the content of the class was improvised through discussions between him, Gao Shun and Gan Ning.
Based on the idea of improving while running, this martial arts school may one day become a real military academy.
Zhang Fei was drunk during the banquet, and Zhuge Liang followed Lan Tian to the martial arts hall to observe with great interest.
The forty students finally selected were from Gao Shun's camp and the troops brought by Gan Ning, and they all held at least fire-head positions (managing ten people).
These students were all ordinary people, and they had achieved some military success by fighting in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had no chance to learn military knowledge at all, and they had accumulated experience through war.
In the first lesson of the martial arts hall, Gao Shun taught how to strictly enforce laws and disciplines, how to restrain his subordinates, and how to obey orders and prohibitions; Gan Ning taught about combat skills, how to boost morale, how to cover and hide, etc.
Both of these two people have rich experience in leading troops, and Gao Shun is a general under Lu Bu. What they imparted is extremely valuable experience, and they also left time for questions after each person finished speaking.
The first class in the martial arts hall lasted for about an hour. Lan Tian found little Deng Fan hiding in the corner and eavesdropping. He thought to himself, why is this child so eager to learn?
After class, Lan Tian called Deng Fan over and asked, "Do you understand?"
Deng Fan's little head clicked, "Well..."
"Do you think it's interesting?"
"It's...interesting..."
The students burst into laughter, and Lan Tian immediately asked a few questions. Although Deng Fan stumbled, he basically got his point across.
After hearing this, Gao Shun said to the students sternly: "The kid is so eager to learn. You have to study it carefully when you continue. We will conduct random checks after the next class starts. If you can't answer the questions, you will be eliminated directly and dismissed."
"Wei" all the students said in unison.
The martial arts lecture hall was located in the side hall of the county captain's mansion. When the students left, Li Yang looked for him. He thought little Deng Fan was lost.
When he saw Deng Fan, he patted his chest and said, "Little Dengzi, this is where the generals discuss important matters. Why are you coming here to cause trouble?"
"It doesn't matter, he can listen if he wants to. With him as a catfish, those students will be more attentive." Lan Tian said with a smile.
Li Yang:? ? ?
Zhuge Liang asked curiously: "What is a catfish?"
Lantian remembered that he had already let it slip, so he could only explain: "Fresh fish caught at sea are transported to the market for sale. If the transportation distance is too long, they will die easily. In order to keep the fresh fish alive as much as possible, the fishermen will put catfish.
This kind of catfish is ferocious by nature and feeds on fish. In order to survive, other fish will swim desperately in the wooden box, so that fewer fish will die. "
Zhuge Liang already understood the secret. He smiled and said: "Ziyu is really knowledgeable. There should be more catfish in the camp and the mansion. This kid is really good..."
Although Li Yang didn't understand clearly, he knew that Zhuge Liang was a master in the world. Seeing that he had a good impression of Deng Fan, he handed over his hand and asked: "Mr. Kong Ming, little Dengzi is almost nine years old. Can you please give me his surname?" "
"Oh? Ziyu is in Linwu, why do you choose the distance instead of the near?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzled.
"Little Dengzi was still young at that time, and the young owner of the village said that you had great talents, but he did not dare to compete with you..." Li Yang whispered.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Ziyu is too humble. This kid's name is Deng Fan, right? Let me think about it..."
Lan Tianxin said that you are really attentive. Mr. Deng has made a profit by recruiting you as his son-in-law.
When Zhuge Liang was thinking, Xiao Deng Fan suddenly said: "I...I don't want others to express their names..."
Li Yang was surprised and said: "Could it be that you want the young master to help you pronounce your calligraphy?"
Little Deng Fan pointed at Lan Tian and shook his head: "Sir, I express my feelings on my own. From now on, I will express my feelings on my own..."
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said happily: "This son will become a great person in the future."
Li Yang felt embarrassed and took Deng Fan back. Zhuge Liang asked Lantian: "Ziyu has managed Linwu very well. The lecture on martial arts just now was very interesting, but will it be effective? Will it be effective in the future?" Are there any other courses?”
Lan Tian nodded and said: "Of course there will be, such as actual combat exercises..."
"Actual combat drill?" Zhuge Liang was puzzled.
"Well, increasing the confrontational nature of military training will be more effective than simply forming a formation." Lan Tian explained.
"It makes sense. If it is really useful, I will go back and suggest that the Lord promote it in all armies." Zhuge Liang nodded.
Because Zhang Fei was greedy and came to Wu by chance, Zhuge Liang discovered a different Lantian. He suddenly felt that with the help of this person, his ideal might really be realized, and the Han Dynasty would be really happy.
Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei stayed in the post house for one night and hurriedly left Linwu County early the next morning.
Because the flowering period of rice is very short, Lantian hurriedly went to the field after receiving the reception to continue detasseling. There are many varieties of double-line hybrid rice, and he was ready to experiment for several seasons.
Although we have stood on the shoulders of giants such as Yuan Lao and are supported by strong theoretical knowledge, it still needs a lot of practice to verify.
In July, the rice ears are pressing down on the branches, and the fields are golden. Thanks to the hard work of the relocated farmers in Xindengzhuang, they finally ushered in a bumper rice harvest.
Those busy figures in the field, the locals who were dumbfounded at the joke before, these outsiders seem to be experienced rice farmers? Many people actively requested to join through agricultural officials.
There are strict requirements for harvesting, drying and handling of rice seedlings, and the fields are about to be plowed for autumn planting. It can be said to be the busiest time of the year.
When manpower is so tight, Lantian still arranges personnel to provide assistance and guidance to local farmers, and fully implements unified planning and management of farming in Linwu County.
The reason why Lantian did not have a unified plan at the beginning was entirely to rely on the power of example, relying on the people's yearning for a better life, and through the rice yield that seeing is believing, so that they can accept it from the inside out, especially those Yue people who are not very obedient. common people.
Although the summer harvest was busy, the harvest feast lasted for almost half a month, and the people who came from Chen County to enjoy the harvest feast arrived as scheduled.
