392 Crazy Young Man
Modern people probably cannot imagine the respect of ancient people for knowledge. Since compulsory education has not been popularized, there are a large number of illiterate people in society, and the elite class of society obviously needs more educated talents.
Let go of the second generation of officials such as Xiang Ying and Cai Bixia, even if they are ordinary college students, their parents do not have any prominent status. As long as they have knowledge, they will have a bright future that these soldiers dare not even imagine.
How old is Xiang Ying and the others? The average age is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but just because they were able to analyze problems with a strategic perspective, this is a miracle that ordinary people do not have.
For modern people, it seems like a very simple thing to let the mind fly to the sky and overlook the earth, and then deduce the possible direction of the troops from all sides.
But we should not forget that modern people can have this feeling of God's perspective because we have received good basic education since childhood.
We have seen pictures overlooking the earth on movies and TV, and we have learned how to distinguish maps in school. We have received systematic training since we were young, and we have become accustomed to observing people and things from the perspective of God.
But this was not the case in the 19th century. Only those intellectuals who have been educated and have to be higher education have the opportunity to access maps and are qualified to learn how to understand maps.
The soldiers in front of Xiang Ying and the others barely learned 1,800 Chinese characters in the army's literacy class and could barely write a letter to their family. At this level, they are already scholars in the mouths of neighbors and relatives.
With such a cultural level, how can you go to see the map? Do you ask him to learn contour lines? Do you ask him to distinguish foreign characters? Isn’t that a joke?
What are the Miyako Straits, Tokuno Island, Oshima, North and South Dadong Islands... They are all familiar with these places and have been to them. But even if they kill them, they will not show a picture of the Ryukyu sea area in their minds, and they can even complete a simple war game deduction in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers could not guess what the French had conspired, and could only understand what Xiang Ying and the others said in a vague way, but this did not prevent them from worshiping these college students.
"You guys, college students... We don't understand what you said very well. To be honest, we want to help you, but we also think what the general said makes sense. You are all treasures and you will become high-ranking officials in the future. If you are such a dangerous thing in war, you should not get involved..."
Kim Sansun blinked without waiting for others to speak first and said, "Okay, we won't cause trouble for you. Isn't the general just afraid that we will be surprised? Then we won't go to university. You can send us to Shuri Castle. Anyway, where is it safer, right?"
When the soldiers heard it was right, it would be safer if these second-generation officials went to Shuri Castle than staying in college, and this was not considered a violation of the general's order.
I can leave as soon as I say, anyway, it is very close to Shuri Castle. However, these soldiers forgot a little. The second generation of officials really dare not cause trouble in college, because many of the lecturers in college are foreigners hired by Xiao Letian with high salaries, and progressive scholars from the Qing Dynasty. These people will never give face to the second generation of officials.
On the contrary, Shuri Castle. No one can take care of this group of children as long as they arrive in Shuri Castle. All the imperial guards and palace eunuchs have to give them face more or less. As long as the children do not rebel, they really dare not take care of them.
"At this, the Shuri City Gate is ahead... You see Uncle Hu is leading his troops to patrol! Okay, you go back and report, we will go directly to General Hu, the commander of the Imperial Army..."
The soldiers, without knowing that they were cheating, stood there and watched the children go to meet with Commander Hu. When they saw Xiang Ying and the others were safe, they did not dare to neglect their heads and ran towards the command center.
"Uncle Hu... We are under the order of General Liang Kun to bring the latest information to General Cai... The French fleet disappeared two warships in a bizarre way. We estimate that these two warships have already passed through the Miyako Strait and headed north from our east. I'm afraid they will land from Guotou Village..."
Jin Sanshun is really lying. He obviously wanted to ban them, but in his mouth it turned out to be ordered. Commander Hu was very familiar with these second-generation officials. In addition, he just saw Liang Kun's personal guards coming to escort him, but he believed the children's nonsense without any doubt.
"Really! You guys are waiting, I'll inform General Cai immediately..." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the Shuri Castle Fort.
Jin Sanshun raised his neck to the guys very badly. That's the point, right? He was smart, but his flaunting eyes were 90% gone for Cai Bixia.
The children who are in love are like the little bulls in spring. At this time, they have no reason. Jin Sanshun's Xianbei makes Lin Zhen and Xiang Ying jealous.
Lin Zhen has always been very angry and speaks with a brain, "What awesome? If you have the ability, let's go north and go to the country... If the French dare to land, we will defeat them..."
Xiang Ying also stared at this time and squeezed King Shanshun with his eyes, "Yes, that's right! I know that your Jin family bought dozens of Spencer from American merchants last month. What's the matter? Take it out for everyone to use!"
Jin Sanshun's face turned red at that time, "You... don't talk nonsense... Our family bought foreign guns and passed the Ming Road. Your Majesty and the two generals knew that we were planning to use for our caravan guards, but... it was not a rebellion!"
"Tsk..." A group of friends booed, "Look at your timid look, we were so scared before we could say anything. It seems that you don't have the courage to go north!"
"Nonsense!" Jin Sanshun was so angry that he turned three times and was like a fat gyro. "If you go, go, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it! Let's go to my house, I'll get you a gun..."
I have to say that the children of seventeen or eighteen years old are all fanatical. Now the French fleet is getting closer and closer to the port of Naba, and the wing formation has also begun to change into a one-line formation. The artillery battle between the enemy and us has become more and more intense.
The sky was filled with the rumbling of shells, and hundreds of artillery guns were bombarded in succession on the sea from time to time, and the port was filled with flames soaring into the sky.
The shore defense turret commanded by General Cai Mao is now fully fired. Although the number of ten cannons is indeed very small, relying on the large caliber of the shore defense turret, the French fleet dared not approach the dock too much after a fierce firepower.
It is very dangerous to walk through the streets in such artillery battles. Xiang Ying and his children were whizzing around the streets with their waists, and they were as careful as a group of mice. Although they were all very hard, when the shells exploded in the neighborhood next to them, they all turned pale and kept screaming.
"Don't panic... Everyone, don't panic... Our country is mountainous and has a complex terrain, so the enemy doesn't hit us so easily!"
"What are you calling? Think about the night when the Prime Minister took our fathers to fight in Ryukyu. Think about the fact that our expeditionary forces have all reached the hinterland of Europe. The war they encountered is ten times stronger than ours... Think about them, we are still afraid of nothing..."
"Yes! If anyone is scared, get out of here. We won't leave you... to my back door!"
Jin Sanshun started to smash the door with a loud scream. After a long time, a subordinate opened the door tremblingly. "Oh, young master, why are you still running around the street at this time? Come into the house and hide quickly..."
Regardless of the dissuasion of the hometown, the group rushed to the warehouse in the backyard and started to flip around. After a while, they found forty brand new Spencer that the Jin family had bought out of their pockets.
The children pried open the wooden box and pulled out new roasted blue rifles from the thick straw, pressing them heavily on their hands with murderous intent.
"Where are bullets? Where are the bullets... here, bring more, oh? Your family has bought so many cowhide magazines? It's so luxurious. No wonder people say that your Jin family is rich..."
Xiang Ying carried three guns alone, and the cowhide magazine was stuffed with ammunition. "Hurry up, hurry up... One person carried three rifles, and then rushed to the north. When we passed by the second university, we passed by the western wall. Wherever we went, we could pull at least twenty or thirty people..."
"Young Master! You guys...what are you doing? Don't scare me, please don't scare me!" Ding Du from the hometown cried in a hurry. If he couldn't stop the young master today, if he did something, the master would have to put him in a frying pan and fry him.
Jin Sanshun was determined today. He pushed his servant away and yelled, "Don't cry! I'm already an adult... Now this is a national war! Do you understand the national war? Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country..."
"Oh, Young Master! There are soldiers in the war to fight. Why are you going up? Don't worry the master. I beg you, you are a noble person, you can't make any mistakes..."
"Start, start! There are too many people like you who don't care about your own affairs. We were so weak before, and we had no end to the nest after being destroyed... Forget it, you don't understand if you tell you. Also, don't say anything about noble people or not in the future..."
Speaking of this, Jin Sanshun and a few friends suddenly thought of the savior Prime Minister Xiao, the savior of Ryukyu. They didn't know that they moved the clear intestine and tears fell down.
"Negotiable? What kind of bullshit are we? No matter how expensive it is, it is not as expensive as the Prime Minister... Now the life and death of the Prime Minister in Europe is unknown, so Prime Minister Xiao can even bear his life. What are we reluctant to let go! Let's find reinforcements and we will guard the Guotou Village for the generals..."
The old man could no longer stop the children's door. He watched a group of children carrying foreign guns and were full of magazines on their bodies, and rushed into the street in a hurry. The old man rubbed his eyes against the door frame and burst into tears in pain.
Xiang Ying finally disappeared from the north of Naha City, and took his friends from the Second University, more than 30 people ran to the direction of Shanbeiguotou.
These children don’t know that thanks to their nonsense, if there were no such nonsense, there would be a major event that would have fallen into the sky and fallen into the ground today.
On the way to the Shuri Castle Fortress in Liangkun Headquarters, a large bullet crater was still filled with white smoke. A personal guard in the corner of the wall was shocked to pieces and vomited blood.
This is the guards sent by Liang Kun to deliver a letter to Cai Mao. If this group of children hadn't sent the information about the disappearing warship to Shuri Castle in person, Cai Mao would probably not have received this important information at all.
It seems that the luck of the Ryukyu Kingdom is still there, and there is a hidden dragon protection in the dark.
