Chapter 2842
Haihan originally designated this area to resettle the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town, which also contained the intention of centralized monitoring of this group for the purpose of control.But time has passed, Dongjiang County today is no different from other areas under the rule of the Northern Region, and the personal development of Dongjiang's children is no longer restricted. Even if they don't choose to join the army, they can still leave Dongjiang County. earn a living elsewhere.

However, in the minds of Dongjiang people, joining the army is probably the same as getting married and having children.For decades, Dongjiang's children had to stay in the army for several years before they were considered adults.

During this period, Bai Letong did not forget his responsibilities, and even went to Dongjiang County Primary School to learn about the school's teaching situation.He soon discovered that this elementary school was very similar to the school he saw in Dengzhou City. It had a strong military school style, and even a considerable number of teachers had military experience, and their daily teaching activities were mixed with military-related content.

Bai Letong randomly asked a few students what kind of person they wanted to be in the future, and the answers given by these childish children were surprisingly consistent, they all wanted to be generals who command thousands of troops, even Some people recited Yue Fei's Man Jianghong on the spot to express their ambitions.The so-called "Aspirations hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood", the immature childish voice is the unique iron and blood inheritance of Dongjiang children.

Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, and Chen Yixin, who is now in charge of the northern region, these famous generals in their country are role models that children look forward to.These students who were born under the banner of Haihan Shuangse may not have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but they are familiar with the history of the Haihan Army in Liaodong, and even know the monthly routine operations of the Jinzhou Camp a few miles away. What are the training days?

They may not know the true face of the war at this time, but they are all eager to enlist in the army as soon as possible like their parents and brothers, and become a glorious Haihan soldier.As for other life directions, that should wait until after military service.

It is difficult for Bai Letong to evaluate whether the impact of this teaching style is good or bad, but there is no doubt that it fits the local social situation very well.It is precisely because of this kind of education since childhood that Dongjiang's children's enlistment rate ranks among the best in the northern region, comparable to that of Dengzhou City.

"I know you may think that such militarized teaching is a bit inappropriate, but the situation in the northern region is different from that in the south, especially in Liaodong. The war between the Han people and the Jurchens has been going on for decades. People can avoid the profound impact caused by this. Every adult male understands that he must be ready to be drafted into the army at any time. This is not entirely the result of school teaching, but from the moment they are born, the elders of the family We're going to instill that in them, and what we're doing is teaching them who to fight for."

Chen Pingliao also realized that Bai Letong might not be satisfied with this teaching method, so he quickly explained it to him.However, in Bai Letong's view, such an explanation is somewhat far-fetched.

Bai Letong replied: "The school should take on the responsibility of teaching and educating people, providing students with a platform to learn all kinds of knowledge, rather than shaping them into war machines. There are many ways for them to contribute to the country in the future, and they should not be limited to joining the army. Road."

Chen Pingliao said with a smile: "You are right, but Liaodong is different from other places. What is most needed here is not farmers, fishermen, or miners, but soldiers who are willing to dedicate their lives to the country and guard the country. The children of Dongjiang have joined the army. and has received military training since childhood, such an excellent source of soldiers, not to mention in Liaodong, is a scarce resource even in the whole country."

Bai Letong remained silent, and he had to admit that what Chen Pingliao said was indeed reasonable.

Chen Pingliao continued: "If it is really necessary to stop this kind of atmosphere and allow Dongjiang children to accept the traditional education model, who do you think will be the first to stand up and oppose it?"

Bai Letong tried to respond, "Ministry of Defense?"

Chen Pingliao shook his head and said, "It's the local people. If Dongjiang's children are not allowed to receive such military education, the people will feel insecure and think that the government is unreliable. If you don't believe it, you can visit the people at will and investigate the people's conditions."

Bai Letong said: "In this way, the people of Dongjiang will also feel that it is inappropriate to sign an armistice agreement between our country and the Manchu Qing?"

"That's not the case." Chen Pingliao explained: "But they don't think that the armistice agreement means the end of the war. It's just a break for rest and preparation. When one of the parties is almost ready, the war will start again. break out."

Bai Letong said, "You think so too?"

Chen Pingliao replied calmly: "This is not the opinion of a few people, but the consensus of the vast majority of people. The reason why the Manchus will stop fighting is because they can't beat us at this stage. After losing for more than ten years in a row, we must We need to stop and recover. We stopped fighting because we couldn’t absorb more victories, and it doesn’t make much sense to continue fighting. But these are only temporary situations, and there will definitely be changes in the future. If other means cannot solve the problem of our country’s Contradictions between the Manchus and Qings, the war will inevitably break out again."

Bai Letong sighed: "Your remarks... are much more radical than your father's!"

Chen Pingliao said: "In my father's position, many things cannot be said casually. Every word he said may affect the situation in Liaodong. If he repeats what I just said , I don’t know how many people will make use of the topic to make various remarks.”

The implication of Chen Pingliao's words is that Chen Yixin's views on the situation in Liaodong should also be consistent with his, but due to his status, he cannot express it publicly.

Bai Letong couldn't refute Chen Pingliao's statement. With Chen Yixin's reputation in Liaodong, if he publicly stated Chen Pingliao's opinion, the outside world might immediately think that it was Haihan who was about to declare war again. Signal.At that time, the situation will become tense, and various industries under development and construction in Liaodong will inevitably be affected.

Chen Pingliao continued: "For those of you who live in a peaceful environment in the south, stability is the norm, but you have to understand that for people living in Liaodong, war is the norm. War is not terrible, the terrible thing is losing. If you want to keep winning the war, the best way is to be ready to go to war at any time."

Bai Letong looked at the student phalanx on the playground, which was as orderly as an army, and immediately had to admit that what Chen Pingliao said was indeed reasonable.If there is no reliable armed force guarding the Liaodong border, it probably cannot effectively deter the Manchu Qing and make them abide by the armistice agreement for a long time.
