Chapter 40

June 26
Before arriving at Sishi, Wu Jinshi from all over the world had already gathered outside Desheng Gate.

The scorching sun shrouded the top of the head, there was no wind, only Zhi Zhi was screaming weakly in the treetops, as if laughing at the crowds who were dressed up in the hot summer.

"Brother Zhanyu, do you know why His Majesty asked us to gather here today?" Wang Laipin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked Zhu Kezhen in a low voice.

Zhu Kezhen shook his head, how could he know such a thing.

The two of them have had a lot of contact these days, and Wang Laipin is a little unconvinced about Zhu Kezhen, the number one scholar.

In the past few days, the two have secretly competed several times.

But whether it is bow horse or martial arts, the two are evenly matched, and each has a victory or defeat.

If Wang Laipin had to find out his shortcomings, would he not be as handsome as Zhu Kezhen?

Ma Dan, how handsome is he?
Good looking and can kill the enemy?
As for Tanhua Xu Yanqi, he was smiling all day long, but he often served as a referee for the two of them.

Zhu Kezhen was reticent, Wang Laipin was a chatterbox, and Xu Yanqi laughed all day long.

The three of them stood together, how strange it looked.

Just as Wang Laipin kept muttering, there was a commotion inside the city gate, followed by groups of guards and honor guards.

Your Majesty has arrived!

Everyone immediately fell to their knees and greeted Shengjia.

Zhu Youjian got off the dragon chariot, quietly looked at the kneeling crowd, and did not speak.

After listening to Wang Chengen's report, no one was missing, so he nodded in satisfaction.

"Wang Banban, prepare your horse!"

"Long live, think twice!" Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian with a miserable face, because he knew what kind of storm he was about to face.

"Wang Banban, I have made up my mind. Give the horses to everyone."

Wang Chengen had no choice but to order someone to bring over the royal horses, a total of 83 horses, including the white horse from last time. He named this horse Zhao Xuebai.

Zhu Youjian stepped on Zhao Xuebai and waited quietly for the Wu Jinshi to lead the horses.After seeing that everyone had received their horses, Zhu Youjian shouted: "Get on the horse! Come with me!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in riding his horse away.

Zhu Kezhen and Wang Laipin looked at each other, each rode on the royal horse, beat the horse and galloped away with Zhu Youjian.

Everyone behind them followed suit, and soon, the galloping team kicked up a cloud of dust on the official road.

Wang Chenen looked at the direction in which His Majesty was going away, sighed in his heart, and said to Shen Lian behind him: "Protect Your Majesty."

Since the last cannon test, Zhu Youjian especially liked to have Shen Lian follow him, and even promoted him to become a Qianhu official.Even Tian Ergen could see that His Majesty trusted Shen Lian very much. Although he didn't know why, it did not prevent him from having a good relationship with Shen Lian.

"Shen Qianhu, His Majesty's safety is of great importance. During this period of time, I will let all the thousands of households obey your orders. Be sure to protect Your Majesty!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Shen Lian took the order and left.

Jin Yiwei didn't fight and kill, it was the way of the world.His intuition told him that this Shen Lian would never stop at Qianhuguan.

In less than an hour, Zhu Youjian arrived at the gate of the military academy.

He turned his horse's head and looked at the way he had come.

Zhu Kezhen and the other three appeared first, followed by the rest of them.

"I know you must be wondering why you are here today, instead of directly conferring officers and letting you serve in various places. In the next year, you will study here. Learn more advanced military knowledge and combat concepts. .And behind me is where you will learn to live."

Zhu Youjian turned sideways, revealing the school gate behind him.

It's not big, it can even be said to be shabby, not even the doors of some officials' mansions.

But the plaques and couplets hanging on the door can't help but be awe-inspiring.

Daming Royal Military Academy
If you want to get promoted and get rich, please go the other way. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door.

Everyone sat on horseback, quietly savoring the couplet at the door.

It seems that I understand something, but it seems that I don't understand anything.

"Presumably, everyone understands. This is not an academy, not an Imperial College. It is a place dedicated to training generals. Here, you will receive the most unique education. Here, you can learn the most novel knowledge. You will be The first batch of students in this school, and I am your only teacher!"

Even though they were facing the emperor, all the Wu Jinshi couldn't help being agitated slightly at this moment.

Although he has participated in the palace examination, he is a disciple of the Son of Heaven.But there are too many disciples of the Son of Heaven, and most of the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty are disciples of the Son of Heaven, so why not?
It's different in this school. If His Majesty is the teacher, then...

Everyone couldn't help being immersed in a series of fantasies.

"Before entering the door, I have to say the ugly words first. After entering this door, I have to talk about the rules here. No matter what you think is good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable. Here, you have no right to question .All you can do is obey! Obey unconditionally! If you can do it, follow me to school!"

In fact, there is no need to guess the result. Who would refuse an emperor to be a teacher?

Entering the interior of the campus, the first thing that catches the eye is a flag-raising platform, and the flag of Ming Dynasty is flying on the flagpole.

Then, there is the library.This is the only two-story building in the school.

Libraries are classrooms.There are eight rooms in total, divided into two rows, and each room can accommodate up to about 50 people.

The dormitory is on the west, divided into two rows, a total of [-] rooms, each about [-] square meters, can accommodate four students.

There is a public toilet on the north side of the dormitory.Then there are playgrounds, horse farms, school grounds, racetracks, shooting ranges, gun ranges, and other facilities scattered in every corner of the campus. Because the campus is too big, buildings stand there abruptly, looking lonely.

Zhu Youjian led people around the campus on horseback and stopped at the racecourse.

There is already a groom on standby at the racecourse.

After setting up their horses, a group of people came to the teaching ground.Zhu Youjian stood on the platform and shouted loudly:

"I plan to divide you into two classes, class one and class two. There are 41 people in each class, and you will decide which team you are in by drawing lots. Start drawing lots now."

The objects for drawing lots were plastic balls prepared by Zhu Youjian in advance. The two colors, blue and red, represented the two classes.

In the end, Zhu Kezhen was assigned to Class [-], and Wang Laipin and Xu Yanqi were assigned to Class [-].

The strange trio temporarily separated.

After dividing the classes, the next step is to distribute equipment.

Bows, steel swords, bucklers, sabers, spears, sapper shovels, and flintlock muskets.

Same one.

He doesn't intend to turn everyone into an almighty, but even if he knows some basic weapon knowledge, the probability of surviving on the battlefield will be higher.After the distribution, everyone's height and waist circumference were measured, and school uniforms and armors were customized.

After distributing the equipment, the dormitory began to be allocated, and the class was drawn by lot.The bedding and toiletries in the dormitory are all available in a uniform standard, which is the same for everyone, including Zhu Youjian.The only difference is that he lives in a room alone. After all, if he lives with students, no one will be able to sleep.

After lunch, Zhu Youjian ordered students from the two classes to enter the classroom separately.

It's study time.

One volume per person.

"Daming Royal Military Academy School Rules and Regulations"

Requirements: Can memorize and write silently.

 This couplet is used by many people. I tried to find a different one, but it didn’t feel right.Do you have any good recommendations?
