Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The time is approaching the New Year of the 29th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty. Usually at this time, all parts of Taiwan are already noisy, but this evening is different from previous years. A large number of strong and strong men followed Zhu Jinxi to the mainland, and even civil and military officials at all levels of Ming and Zheng After walking for more than half of it one after another, it was deserted and deserted, and it looked a little bleak.

"Is the ox cart ready to take the boy scouts home?" Zheng Kezang is not worried about how the generals and the rich children will return home. To be honest, as long as the news is revealed, it may be a few days before the gate of the barracks in Liwu Town A car sedan was lined up to pick up people, but Zheng Kezang still had to make reasonable arrangements for the children from poor families to return home. "This incident is similar to the Shang Festival (Note: In the Ming Dynasty, lights were lit on the eighth day of the first lunar month, which was called the Shang Festival, and the eighth night of the eighth day was called the Shang Festival, which announced the beginning of the Lantern Festival. The lights did not go down until the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. For ten days, To show the peace through singing and dancing) After that, General Sun has to make arrangements for taking the boy scouts back to the camp."

"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, the lower officials have already arranged manpower, so there shouldn't be any delay." After Sun Youlao finished speaking, a look of worry suddenly appeared on his face. "My lord, there is something that I don't know whether the next official should say." Zheng Kezang looked at him in surprise, nodded slightly, and then Sun Youlao reported it. "The teachers searched for camp at night, and heard some boys talking at night, saying that they would never come back after going back."

Zheng Kezang laughed lightly when he heard the words: "They are all half-grown boys. It is common for them not to suffer. I don't blame them. The so-called drinking and pecking is all up to me. Anyway, twisted melons are not sweet. Yes, let them go, it's just that Mr. Sun has to report the vacancy as soon as possible, and Yu just went to ask for next year's boy scouts in advance."

Seeing that Zheng Kezang seemed to have dealt with it a long time ago, Sun Youlao, who had long since stopped seeing Zheng Kezang as a peer, was relieved, and replied with a smile: "Your eldest son is enough, the next official knows what to do. of."

Just after Sun Youlao finished speaking, the three teams of boy scouts who entered the arena in neat steps had already been lined up. Looking at the phalanx in front of him, Zheng Kezang's face flashed with pride, and then he took a step forward and stood up. On the edge of the stage, he ordered loudly: "The whole battalion is here, stand at attention! Take it easy!"

However, Zheng Kezang did not give any further orders. Just when the boys thought it was another standing inspection, they saw a few instructors passing by with a red lacquered wooden box, and then placed it beside Zheng Kezang. : "Yu Caier will be very curious to know what is in this box, but it is definitely not rewarding silver."

There was a burst of uncontrollable laughter in the ranks, and Zheng Kezang frowned, but this was helpless, after all, the nature of a teenager cannot be corrected in just a few months of training, and the original intention of his witty words was also soothing It's hard to blame them for the nervousness below.

"Next, everyone named by Yu will come on stage, Wu Ziming, Guan Baoshen, Du Hu, Tan An, Xi He" The boys looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Zheng Kezang was up to, but under the urging of the instructor and the team leader , The ten teenagers who were named also boarded the parade stand one after another: "You probably think it's strange why you called ten of them to the stage. The reason is very simple. Ten of them are the best in drills on weekdays. So I want to commend them in public.”

The boys were in an uproar, but a scene that made them jealous appeared. Zheng Kezang signaled the ten boys to kneel down on one knee, and then he took out bronze medals from the red lacquer box and hung them on the necks of the boys respectively. After that, he asked these people to stand up and show their gains to the audience.

"This is a copper medal for hard work. From now on, it will be awarded once a quarter based on the evaluation of the teaching. Only the ten people who perform the hardest and best in the training on weekdays will get it. If you accumulate three medals, you can exchange for a big medal. Three big medals can be rewarded." Get a silver medal!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang waved his hands at them: "You can go down first."

The boys with ribbons and medals ran down excitedly, and when they returned to the team, they found envious eyes all around them, so they all puffed up their chests and made arrogant postures. If it wasn't for the instructor watching Then, those greedy guys will rush to snatch it immediately.

"Don't envy others, as long as you work hard, you will naturally have the opportunity to be rewarded, but remember that any medal or medal has a record. If you wear it under false pretense, you will be severely punished by military discipline." Zheng Kezang's greeting finally came to an end. Stop some bad tendencies. "Okay, the next ones are also on stage, Cai Sun, Xie Jiping, Gao Yan, Tang Qiao, Zeng Hu."

These five are charge officers, among them Cai Sun is the youngest son of Zheng Jun’s veteran general Cai Zheng, and Xie Jiping is the grandson of Zheng Jun’s Japanese general Xie Jiyuan. After they got on the stage, Zheng Kezang didn’t say much, just According to the script, let them kneel down on one leg towards him like Wu Ziming and others did before.

"Each group led by five people may have the best military discipline, or the whole group is concentric, has excellent drills, has been repeatedly praised in teaching, or has the fastest progress in liberal arts, so you are awarded the Bronze Loyalty Medal as an encouragement to the assault officers. "

"Thank you for the reward from the battalion officers!" After all, among the group of assault officers who received the reward, they were the children of powerful families. Cai Sun and others, who had heard and witnessed their fathers' behavior, knew better than the few children from poor families just now. Zang hung the Jiazhang around his neck, showing his loyalty in a hurry. "I wish to follow the battalion officer to the death!"

Cai Sun started like this, and then followed suit, and the remaining four charge officers followed suit to serve Zheng Kezang.

"Swear to die? Do you know what swear to die?" The so-called flattery slapped the horse's feet, but Zheng Kezang gave each of them a shudder on their foreheads. "It's true to follow the teaching to learn skills. I'm full of flattery, and I don't know who I learned from." After laughing and scolding, Zheng Kezang suddenly increased his tone. "Wait until you learn the real skills, and then talk about such big words!"

After kicking off the cunning boys who still didn't understand, Zheng Kezang called out again: "Lin Kang, Wang Ying, Li Shun, come on stage!"

These three are monitors, and this time they also received the medal of loyalty and diligence. However, after the award was over, Zheng Kezang sent Lin and Wang away but kept Li Shun behind. At that time, Zheng Kezang took out another flag from the red-lacquered wooden box, and placed it on the flagpole handed over by Sun Youlao.

"Squad leader Li's class ranks first among all classes in terms of training and martial arts, so Yu specially awarded a silk flag as a reward. This flag can be used by squad leader Li during training. Dedicated."

When they first heard what Zheng Kezang said, Hong Hui and the others didn’t think there was anything special about it, but when they saw a pennant with the words “Team One of the Boy Camp” waving left and right in Li Shun’s hands, they were envious. They couldn't help but clenched their fists as they screamed enviously.

As if he heard the aspirations of these squad leaders, Zheng Kezang announced loudly: "The class flags of the first and seventh classes of the boy camp can be kept for three months, but if they fall behind other classes in the next evaluation, the class flags of this class will It is about to be handed over to a new winner, Squad Leader Li still has seven classes, do you have the confidence to continue to retain this honor?"

"Yes!" More than a dozen boys on and off the stage shouted in unison with one heart and one mind, and their agitated emotions almost went straight to the sky.

Zheng Kezang continued to ask while the iron was hot: "Then do the rest of the classes want to take this pennant from the seventh class?"

"Yes!" This time the voice was louder, and the rest of the classes who had been aroused by the sense of competition were also shouting hoarsely at this moment.

"Good! Well done, I'll wait and see." Zheng Kezang laughed triumphantly, and after laughing, he dropped another blockbuster. "The New Year is coming soon, so I will give you a few days to rest before leaving the camp, but the rest is not to let you sleep. I decided to hold a Cuju competition. Each class will face each other in turn. The class with the most victories will be awarded the champion. pennant side"

"It's amazing, it's amazing," He Gan shook his head at Sun Youlao. "The eldest son is really clever. With the boys' competitive spirit, he urges the whole battalion to compete with each other, group to group, and class to class. In this way, the future of the boys' camp is limitless. I have to admire, admire."

"Yeah, Yu Ye has been thinking, if this boy camp can continue, what will it look like in five or ten years." Sun Youlao immediately thought of what Zheng Kezang had mentioned The meaning of expanding the army can't help but sigh. "Perhaps in the future the strongest army in Taihai will be created from Yu et al. It cannot but fascinate people."

"The eldest son is the son of the clan. It is impossible to lead troops forever, and he has no experience in expeditions. In this way, who will lead the strongest army in the future?" He Gan looked at Sun Youlao with a questioning look. "Master Sun is close to the water and the moon is the first to get the moon."

Sun Youlao was vigilant in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, he just laughed dryly: "Not necessarily, not necessarily, it will take at least five or six years for the Boys' Camp to become an army. Brother He may not be able to stay here for such a long time, maybe even marry someone else."

"That's true." He Gan nodded, but he didn't give up. "I don't know why Mr. Sun wants to step down from office, but if he can get the approval of the eldest son, Yu would like to stay, but his intentions are unpredictable. After all, I have to wait for the decision on this matter, and I still need the eldest son." Just nod."

What is this, sowing discord?But it's too obvious.

For this reason, Sun Youlao looked at the other party calmly, did not stop doing anything, and directly kicked the ball to Zhu Jin's feet: "I am afraid that the eldest son may not be able to be the master. If you want to guard Yuanzi around, I am afraid you have to do it." Only the king himself can nod."

He Gan seemed to understand it all of a sudden, and kept saying, "That's true."
