I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

"Brother Ligong, are you still okay? The ceremony is about to start, and the instructor has urged it several times."

A young man in the latest military uniform was lying on the door of the dormitory, shouting anxiously.

"Got it, got it, come right away!"

In the dormitory, a young man also wearing a military uniform turned around and replied.

"Then hurry up, I inquired just now, and I heard that the emperor is also coming."

"The emperor is coming too!"

The young man who was arranging his military uniform in front of the mirror was stunned for a moment, and the speed of arranging his military uniform accelerated a bit.

"Got it, got it, I'll come right away."

"Then hurry up."

The young man urged again, and rushed to the teaching ground in a hurry.

Looking at his impatient friend, the young man shook his head, picked up the military cap next to him and put it on his head, and finally tidied up in front of the mirror before striding out the door.

Li Zhen, word: meritorious service!
The first student of the Daming Army Military Academy, nicknamed Nizi.

The reason why he has the nickname Nizi is because this guy's family knew that he had signed up for the Army Academy, and his father was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him on the spot.

Entering the highest academy in Ming Dynasty, the reason why his father was so angry was not that his father objected to his son's military service, but because his father's name was Li Hu, and his identity was the previous chief officer of the navy.

The son of the chief of the navy went to the army, didn't this slap his father in the face.

It's a pity that the deal is done, and his son has a stubborn temper. Even if Li Hu is angry, he can only admit it by pinching his nose.

The Daming Army Military Academy was built in the second year of Hongxi and officially put into use in the fourth year of Hongxi.

The first batch of students recruited mainly came from the children of martyrs, serving military officers, and students from Xinxue College. Li Zhen signed up after graduating from Xinxue College.

Since it is a national military academy, more than 1 people were enrolled in the first batch, and today is the time when these 5000 people officially graduate.

In addition to the Army Academy, Daming also has two equally famous academies.

They are the Daming Air Force Military Academy and the Daming Naval Military Academy.

It's just that the requirements for enrolling students in those two military academies are too high, so the number of students is not as large as that of the Army Academy.

But there is a saying that is good, the air force is the son, the navy is the son, and the small army is picked up outside.

From this common saying in the army, we can see how obvious the status of these three military branches is in the imperial court.

Although the army is a little poor in terms of equipment, supplies, and military pay, the number of people is there. In addition, it is an army handed down from the ancestors, so the court attaches great importance to talent training.

While the students were preparing nervously, a parent on the viewing platform was also having a heated discussion.

A middle-aged woman said this to the person next to her worriedly while looking at the direction of approach.

"Have you heard that the imperial court is about to start a big battle, and these children will be assigned to the frontline troops after graduation. Alas, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"It won't happen sooner or later. The imperial court has been preparing for so many years just for this day. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on the fate of the children. As parents, we can only support the children who have chosen this path."

"Besides, how can a soldier get military merit if he doesn't fight? I heard from a relative of mine in the system that for this war, the imperial court has prepared hundreds of titles. Whoever gets the title depends on the It’s hard to fight on the battlefield.”

"Nobility!"

Hearing the news from the people next to her, the middle-aged woman looked forward to it.

It would be great if her son could come back with a title.

"The military flag shines, the fire burns, the sun and the moon shine,..."

Just when the middle-aged women were yearning, passionate military songs came from the loudspeakers in the teaching field.

The auditorium, who were discussing intensely, knew that the ceremony was about to start, and they all fell silent and looked at the entrance expectantly.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a sound of a motor, and more than a dozen military vehicles drove over from the entrance and headed for the audience.

The instructors and leaders of the college who were waiting at the viewing platform stepped down from the viewing platform and waited in line.

"All stand, the emperor is coming!"

A loud voice resounded throughout the school grounds. The guards on duty stood at attention with their guns, and the parents on the viewing stand also stood up, watching the moving convoy.

Soon the convoy came to the viewing platform, and a gray car in the middle stopped beside the red carpet.

Seeing the arrival of the vehicles, the leaders of the college arranged their military uniforms and stood neatly on both sides of the red carpet.

"Crench!"

The car door was opened by a royal guard, and a polished black military boot appeared first in front of everyone.

"stand at attention!"

The officer on duty shouted loudly, and the school instructors and leaders on both sides of the red carpet stood at attention one after another.

Soon a young man wearing a dragon pattern uniform came down, and everyone immediately raised their hands in salute.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live?"

When the young man in the dragon-patterned military uniform came down, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak in an instant, especially the parents in the auditorium, seeing the young man walking out, shouted excitedly.

Hearing the shouts around him, Zhu Zhangui, who got out of the car, waved his hand towards the audience, which caused another burst of cheers and shouts in an instant.

"All the instructors and staff of the Army Military Academy have been lined up, please the emperor to review."

Having retired to the second line, Zhang Fu, currently serving as the principal of the Army Military Academy, took a serious step forward and reported to Zhu Zhangui with a salute.

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand and bowed back, and accompanied by Zhang Fu, he began to review the instructor team.

That's right, you read that right, Zhu Zhangui is already the emperor.

In the second year after the old man's death, I don't know whether it was because of his father's death, or the effect of the medicinal wine had begun to decline, and Zhu Pangpang's body was getting worse day by day.

At the end of the second year, Zhu Pangpang finally gave up his picks and gave up the throne to Zhu Zhangui, and took his wife and young daughter to travel across the country for health preservation.

In Zhu Pangpang's words: I have been busy for your grandfather for most of my life, and I have been busy for you for so many years. Now that you have grown up and have the ability to take over this country, you can pity me, an old man, and let me do more. Live a few years.

This made Zhu Zhangui dumbfounded. Although he really wanted to let his father work for a few more years, but looking at his fat father, he was so angry that he didn't want to do it. Zhu Zhangui took over the throne in desperation.

Zhao Ling'er was promoted from concubine to queen, and other women were also promoted to concubine, Zhu Qirui became the prince as it should be.

In terms of year titles, the ministers gave three choices, namely Yongxing, Xuande, and Yongchang.

Zhu Zhangui thought about it and chose Yongxing as the reign name.

Xuande is Zhu Zhanji's reign name, so Zhu Zhangui naturally wouldn't use it. If Yongchang remembers correctly, it should be the reign title of the Chuang Wang of later generations.

The year name of Yongxing is also good, the country will always prosper, and it can also be followed by the old man's year name.

Therefore, Zhu Zhangui's reign name was Yongxing, and in the second year of his accession to the throne, the Ming Dynasty used the Yongxing calendar.

And this year is the third year of Yongxing, which means that Zhu Zhangui has been on the throne for more than three years.

Over the past few years, Ming Dynasty has not launched a large-scale war, but only had small-scale friction with the West. The country has been recuperating and preparing for the final war.

After several years of preparation, in June this year, Zhu Zhangui finally received reports from various departments that the preparations for the war have been fully prepared, and the war to conquer the world can begin.

After receiving this news, Zhu Zhangui was excited for a long time. After waiting for so many years, he finally made the final decision.

It's a pity that he is the emperor now, and he can't go out like a prince.

"Your Majesty, the students are ready, do you want to start now!"

After boarding the viewing platform, Zhang Fu came to Zhu Zhangui to salute and report.

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile, "Let's get started!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fu responded, turned around and came to the microphone, and announced loudly to the auditorium and the students waiting in the distance.

"The emperor has ordered that the graduation ceremony of the Ming Army Military Academy officially begin!"

"Shoot the salute!"

Following Zhang Fu's order, the artillerymen who were preparing on the side began to roar.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling cannons, a group of soldiers of honor escorted the flag of the Great Tomorrow and came to the flagpole in front of the viewing stand.

"All stand, raise the flag of Ming Dynasty!"

With the announcement of the officer on duty, the solemn national anthem of Ming Dynasty sounded from the horns in the teaching ground.

At this moment, whether it was Zhu Zhangui on the podium or the parents in the audience, they all stood up with solemn expressions, watched the national flag rising slowly, and sang the national anthem of Ming Dynasty along with the music.

With the end of the flag-raising ceremony, Zhu Zhangui, at the invitation of Zhang Fu, boarded the limousine and began to review the student phalanx.

The trainees waiting in line, hearing the parade anthem, raised their chests and greeted the emperor's review with the most perfect posture.

"salute!"

When the inspection car came to the front of the team, the team leader shouted loudly, and all the students collectively turned their eyes to Zhu Zhangui and saluted him.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Zhu Zhangui, who had inspected the army for more than the first time, greeted the soldiers loudly when the convoy arrived in front of the phalanx.

"The general is mighty!"

Under the blazing gaze of the students, Zhu Zhangui's motorcade passed the first square and arrived at the second square.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The same words, the same words, the same tone, but bring different meanings.

Just as Zhu Zhangui's voice fell, the students in the second phalanx roared with the loudest voice.

"The emperor is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Da Ming wins, wins, wins!"

A greeting and a high-pitched response kept ringing in the teaching field.

The mighty voice was transmitted outside through the loudspeaker, and the busy people outside could not help showing confident smiles when they heard the voice.

The current Daming is the pride of all the people, and it is also the most powerful and prosperous age in history.

There is no need to worry about food and clothing, wealth is abundant, the elderly are well-fed, the young are educated, the army is strong, and the government is clear...

Which country and power has been so powerful since ancient times?
Many elders of the older generation often tell the younger generation that the younger generation is having a good time.

I often tell my children about the suffering of famine and starvation back then. The children are very curious about these things. They can't figure it out. Daming is so rich and powerful, how could there be such a difficult life in the past?
In this regard, the old people shook their heads and sighed, and looked at the longevity cards at home.

After the review, Zhu Zhangui returned to the viewing platform and stood by the microphone.

"Dear students and parents, I am very happy to participate in this graduation ceremony and witness the birth of my new generation of patron saint of Ming Dynasty."

"From the first year of Hongwu to nearly a hundred years now, our Zhu family has always been striving for a strong country, a strong people, and a strong army."

"After nearly a hundred years of ups and downs, we have worked together through countless hardships and built a beautiful homeland with our hands."

"The common people are working hard, and our patron saints of Ming Dynasty have not stopped slacking off."

"They killed the enemy and sacrificed their blood for the country. With their young lives, they guarded our homeland and opened up peace in all things for our children and grandchildren."

"We should not forget that the predecessors who worked hard and sacrificed for national rejuvenation, we should not forget that when we are enjoying a good life, the guardians of our homeland, our peaceful Ming warriors, are guarding the hard frontier."

"Let's not forget the enemies who once invaded us and tried to enslave us."

"We Ming people, our Ming court, do not like war, but we are not afraid of challenges from any forces."

"We have the best weapons, we have the best soldiers, and we have thousands of you Ming who support us."

"I believe that with our joint efforts, our Daming will be more prosperous and stronger in the future."

"I believe that under the protection and construction of batches of young people who have dedicated their lives to the country, our Daming will be safer, more prosperous and stronger."

"I believe that our children and grandchildren will take over the banner of our hard work, let our country, our nation, and our hope be passed on forever, and let us have a bright sun and moon flag, and let the sun and the moon shine forever in the wind."

"Long live, long live..."

Zhu Zhangui's speech, which was not considered passionate, blew up the scene.

The parents in the auditorium shouted and applauded loudly. The students who are about to graduate or those who have not graduated are full of enthusiasm, yearning to kill the enemy and serve the country and defend their homeland.

Nodding to the cheering crowd, Zhu Zhangui returned to his seat to watch the ceremony.

Zhang Fu, who was waiting on the side, came to the microphone and announced loudly to everyone after Zhu Zhangui returned to his seat.

"Split, start!"

The passionate military music sounded, and the students who had been prepared for a long time, holding the military flag and walking in neat steps, passed the viewing platform one by one.

For these students, Zhu Zhangui gave the highest respect, and when every phalanx passed by, he would raise his hand and salute.

Apart from the graduated students, students from several other grades also formed a phalanx to participate in the military parade and accepted Zhu Zhangui's review.

When the last team passed, the military parade officially ended, and 10 students were invited to come up at the same time.

These ten people are the top ten people of this year, including Li Hu's son Li Zhen.

"Your Majesty, these are the top 10 students of this year."

When the students lined up to take the stage, Zhang Fu introduced the situation with a smile.

Zhu Zhangui nodded and waved at Hu Yu.

Hu Yu, who was waiting at the side, took a tray from the guard and followed Zhu Zhangui to the side of the 10 students.

"Zhang Jing, a native of Jinan, Shandong Province, usually trains hard and studies hard. He is the 10th student in this year. The college decided to award him the rank of Gan Siwei."

The Ming army implemented a military rank system in the first year of Yongxing, namely, brave soldier, non-commissioned officer, division lieutenant, school lieutenant, Sima, general, six ranks and 12 levels, and each rank is divided into two levels.

"Student Zhang Jing congratulates you and looks forward to your performance in the future."

Zhu Zhangui smiled and shook hands with him, and personally put on the epaulettes for him, then took out a pistol made of sterling silver from Hu Yuduan's tray, and handed it to Zhang Jing in front of him.

"I hope this pistol can bring you more opportunities to do meritorious deeds and kill more enemies for Daming."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the pistol and graduation certificate, Zhang Jing responded loudly excitedly.

Zhu Zhangui smiled and patted his shoulder encouragingly, and walked to the next person.

"Qi Bin, from Datong, Shanxi, train hard..."

Following Zhang Fu's announcement, the usual performance of an outstanding student was announced.

Every time a name is read, Zhu Zhangui will walk forward with a smile, shake hands with him, wear epaulettes for him, and give him the gift he prepared.

Soon after reaching the last one, Zhu Zhangui looked at the young man with a serious expression and looked back at Zhang Fu.

He naturally knew Li Hu's son. The 10th and 2nd place had been announced just now, and this little guy was obviously the 1st place standing here.

Zhu Zhangui looked back at Zhang Fu, not waiting for the other party to read his name, but asking the other party if he was showing favoritism.

After all, the identity of the other party is too special. If it is found out afterwards that the first place is cheating or the help of relatives and friends, then the Army Military Academy will lose all face.

Zhang Fu naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Zhangui's gaze, and shook his head seriously, expressing that he was absolutely not favoritism, Zhu Zhangui turned his head in satisfaction.

"Little Zhenzi, behave well, don't lose your father's face."

After Zhang Fu finished reading, Zhu Zhangui smiled and shook hands with other students, but the content of what he said changed.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not embarrass my father, let alone you."

Hearing this answer, Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction, and handed to Li Zhen the silver pistol inlaid with gold trim specially prepared for the first place.

"Student Li Zhen, I hope this pistol will bring you more opportunities to do meritorious deeds and kill more enemies for the country."

"Fight the enemy bravely, and serve the country to the death!"

Amid the envy of everyone, Li Zhen excitedly accepted the silver pistol inlaid with gold trim and his graduation certificate.
