My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 832 They are the backbone of the Qin Dynasty! Don't enter this door if you are afraid of death!

The heavy snow like goose feathers covered Neishi County with a layer of silver.

The common people in other villages in Neishi County had already returned home and closed their doors. Families hugged each other for warmth and resisted the cold winter. Even the dogs that usually roamed around in the village huddled under the eaves and shivered, making the village cold and deserted.

But Chang'an Township was bustling with people.

More than a thousand young and strong villagers gathered in the designated area on the north side of Chang'an Township to set up stalls, selling game they hunted and mountain delicacies they collected, and even making soup by boiling water on the spot.

On the banks of the Wei River, a little further north of the stall area, at the junction of Chang'an Township and Xianyang City, nearly ten thousand people have set up camp on the spot. Even the flying snow from the sky and the cold winter wind cannot extinguish the passion in their hearts.

Suddenly, a voice caught everyone's attention.

"They're back!"

The strangers gathered here hurriedly opened their tents, got out of the camp, and ran to the side of the road, looking forward to what was coming.

Under the gaze of everyone, thousands of elite soldiers wearing five layers of linen clothing and full body armor trotted back in two rows.

The back of each soldier seemed to be a steamer, with thick white mist rising up, which looked particularly magical when viewed from afar.

Every soldier followed the captain of their own garrison, shouting in unison with murderous intent:

"Oops! Give up! Oops! Give up!"

"Don't stab my brother and drink! Surrender! Don't stab my brother and drink! Surrender!"

The people watching could not understand what the soldiers meant.

But they could clearly see the crown on each soldier's head!

A baby wrapped in thick swaddling clothes looked at the gorgeous crowns and the strong and brave soldiers with shining eyes, waving his chubby little hands and smiling happily.

He even shouted in his childish voice: "Cai! Cai! Cai!"

Shen Tu'ao laughed heartily and said, "Jia'er has good taste!"

Extending a finger to scratch the tip of the child's nose, Shen Tu'ao looked at the running team with a heart full of pride and pride: "Soon, Nai Weng will also join this team!"

"When the time comes, Jiaer will also congratulate you!"

Shentu Jia, who was only two years old, could not understand such complicated words.

Just seeing his father happy, Shentu Jia also smiled happily, waving his two chubby little hands vigorously in the air, as if he was clapping.

Shentu'ao's wife Sui Ying quickly stuffed Shentu Jia's hands back into the swaddling clothes and gave Shentu'ao a helpless yet loving look: "You! I know you are happy today, but don't tease Jia'er like this anymore."

"It's very cold today, Jia'er is only two years old, she can't be cold!"

Shen Tu'ao's smile suddenly turned awkward, and he quickly said, "Isn't this happiness?"

"Come on, put on this coat!"

"Not just Jia'er, Ying'er, you must not get cold either!"

Sui Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I've already put on three coats!"

Shentuao still insisted on taking off his coat.

But just as Shentuao took off his coat, a silver fox fur coat was handed to him from the side.

Shen Tuao handed his coat to Sui Ying, but his eyes were already in the direction where the fox fur coat was handed to him: "May I ask who you are?"

Jingpo held his coat in one hand and stretched it forward, with a smile on his face: "Gongdafu Jingpo, Jing Shouzheng."

"In both the campaigns to destroy Chu and Zhao, I served under Lord Chang'an and have been allowed to study at the Qin Military Academy."

"Listen to what this brother just said, you and I were once comrades in arms, and we will be brothers in the future."

"We should help each other."

"This silver fox fur coat is softer and won't hurt a child's skin. You don't have to refuse it, my dear brother."

Jingpo is almost old enough to be Shentu'ao's father.

But the phrase 'fellow brothers' came out particularly smoothly.

Shen Tuao straightened his back immediately and saluted: "It's Commander Jing in person!"

"Shen Tu'ao, the doctor from Suiyang, greets Commandant Jing!"

Jingpo smiled and waved his hand, then put the coat on Shentu Jia himself.

Seeing that Shentu Ao was about to refuse, Jingpo smoothly changed the subject: "Is this your first time in Xianyang, Doctor Shentu?"

Shentu Ao saw his son's eyes full of curiosity as he grabbed the fox fur on his coat with his hands. In the end, he did not forcefully reject the gift, but responded, "To be honest with you, Doctor Jing, last year Shentu came to Xianyang City to participate in the imperial examination."

"It's just that before the exam, my son fell seriously ill, so I was unable to take the exam."

Behind Jingpo, the smiles on the faces of Jingchou, Zhaoyuan and others all looked a little more awkward.

Without even asking, they knew that Shentu Jia's serious illness was the work of local powerful people.

After all, they’ve done similar things before!

Jingpo quickly skipped the topic and said with a smile: "Of course, Doctor Shentu can still enroll in the military academy."

"It shows how brave Brother Shentu is!"

Shen Tu'ao's face was full of pride: "When destroying Zhao, Shen Tu repeatedly charged into the battle line and even shot and killed a Zhao army captain with one arrow!"

"And then..."

Listening to the conversation between Shentu'ao and Jingpo, many people nearby gathered around.

Similar gatherings occurred on both sides of the road. Every prospective cadet became a small core, spontaneously attracting compliments, flattery and solicitation from others.

“Boom boom boom~boom!”

It was not until a burst of rapid and clean drum beats sounded that Jingpo stopped talking, with an uncontrollable look of joy in his eyes: "The drums are beating, Brother Shentu, will you come with us?"

Shen Tu Ao immediately cupped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I wish for!"

He turned around to help Sui Ying put on her five-layer coat tightly, and wrapped Shentu Jia like a small dumpling. He also told the tribesmen to take good care of the mother and son. Then Shentu Ao followed the Jingpo's footsteps and set out on the road together.

All those who set foot on the road smiled at each other, bowed, and then lined up according to the rank of the crowns on their heads, just like the team that had just passed by on this road, and ran to the north!

At the same time, Daqin Military Academy.

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "When the military academy started classes, you refused to come forward and just stood on the stage and watched." "But I promised you that I would come and congratulate the disciples when they graduated."

"Brother, you must not refuse again!"

Ying Zheng nodded happily: "Since my brother has already promised, I will naturally not refuse."

When the military academy was first established, the fundamental reason why Ying Zheng was unwilling to go on stage to speak was that he did not want to steal the credit and glory from Ying Chengjiao.

But now, Ying Zheng believed that the brilliance of Ying Chengjiao would no longer be overshadowed by him!

Ying Chengjiao immediately revealed a happy smile, and with his right hand he said, "Brother, please!"

Ying Zheng also raised his right hand and said, "Brother, please!"

The two brothers could not tell which one came first and they stepped onto the platform side by side.

Looking at the pairs of fiery eyes in the audience, and then looking at Shen Tuao and others who were trotting all the way to the military academy, Ying Chengjiao spoke in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Open the middle door!"

"Anyone who wishes to watch the ceremony can enter the school gate after verifying their credentials, but cannot go beyond the barriers."

"Military school rules are the same as those in the army. Those who disobey orders will be punished according to military rules!"

"Order the new students to wait outside the school gate. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"

"Order the first-term students to come forward and line up on the stage according to the list!"

The main gate of the military academy was wide open.

The crowd waiting outside the military academy immediately rushed into the school through the middle gate.

Even though everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, and even though many of the women had never served in the military before, everyone still followed the instructions of the military academy students and quickly lined up on all sides without anyone making any noise.

Inside the military academy, Su Jiao, wearing a military cap, shouted in a solemn voice: "All the first-term students are here!"

"Line up according to the list!"

"Arrange your armor and weapons!"

Su Jiao stood at the front of all the first-term students of the military academy, looking around at everyone with serious eyes.

More than 300 first-stage disciples took action immediately. It took only a hundred breaths for them to line up according to the list. They also quickly confirmed whether their armor and weapons were in a state of readiness for battle at any time.

Su Jiao shouted again: "Step forward in unison!"

"go!"

Using his right heel as a support point, Su Jiao turned around with an upright posture to face the platform and trotted towards it.

Behind Su Jiao, more than three hundred disciples followed him in unison.

When they arrived at the reviewing stand, the array of more than 300 disciples did not deform at all, they formed up on the spot just by moving their feet together!
Su Jiao took two steps forward, clasped his hands and shouted, "There are 351 students who should be in the first term of the military academy, and there are 351 students who are here."

"Greetings, my king! Greetings, my commander!"

Behind Su Jiao, 351 military school students all bowed their hands and shouted in a deep voice:

"Greetings, my king! Greetings, my commander!"

Every soldier wore a crown with intricate patterns on his head.

The armor on each soldier was shiny enough to catch one's eye.

Even though they were just watching this scene from a distance, the spectators couldn't help but get excited.

For the military academy, these are only 351 disciples.

But for the Qin Dynasty, these are 351 pillars of power, intelligence, military strategy, government affairs, and titles that are top-notch!

Ying Chengjiao looked down at his disciples with a complicated look in his eyes: "I will always remember that day."

"March 1, the eleventh year of the reign of Qin."

"The Great Qin Military Academy was officially established."

"The first batch of students of the Daqin Military Academy should have a total of one thousand, but the actual number is one thousand and three!"

"Everyone is standing here, ready to receive the first lesson of the Great Qin Military Academy."

Below the stage, Ying Fusu, Ying Gao and Ying Ang all looked ashamed.

The three extra people were exactly them!
But they eventually left the military academy for one reason or another, and now can only stand by and watch their classmates who once took so much care of them graduate successfully.

The complex expression in Ying Chengjiao's eyes became even more intense: "According to the original plan, you should finish your course on March 1st, the 13th year of Qin Wangzheng's reign."

"However, on September 16, the eleventh year of the reign of Qin, you all followed me southward, and successively fought in Dahongshan, Echeng, and Helucheng. We marched thousands of miles, attacked Chu and defeated Zhao, seized King Fuchu of Chu, and returned with thousands of miles of territory between Chu and Zhao."

"This battle not only forced you to put your studies on hold, but also resulted in the deaths of 216 disciples!"

"On March 21, the 13th year of the reign of Qin, you followed me eastward and marched south with the Qi army. I relied on you to serve as generals in the army and help me destroy the State of Chu and behead the King of Chu."

"This battle has forced you to put your studies aside, and caused 143 disciples to die on the battlefield!"

"On February 3rd, the 14th year of the reign of Qin, you all followed me north again and fought a bloody battle with the Zhao army at Fukouxing, extinguishing Zhao's ambition to quickly destroy our Great Qin. You also helped me to conquer Zhao and defeat Yan, avenging the king."

"Although this battle did not force you to put your studies aside for long, it resulted in the death of 257 disciples on the battlefield!"

"In the past, there were thousands of first-term disciples in Daqin, but now there are only 351 left!"

A heavy atmosphere started from Ying Chengjiao and spread to the entire military academy.

Death is always with the Qin Dynasty.

All the old Qin people are accustomed to death.

But the mortality rate of 64.9% in just less than four years still makes everyone tremble with fear.

Those who can study at the Daqin Military Academy are not soldiers. They can at least serve as grassroots generals in the army and will not easily engage in direct combat with the enemy!

As a result, so many people died! They died so quickly!

And except for thirty-three people who died of other causes, all the remaining disciples died on the battlefield!
Ying Chengjiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This is the Daqin Military Academy!"

"Those who are afraid of death should not enter this door!"
