The Datang Royal Military Academy has been established for half a year.

Now the first batch of students has gone through three months of special training and has begun to enter the normal class life.

"Pharmacist, my Erlang has always wanted to learn the art of war from you, and he has not been successful for so many years. I didn't expect that in this military academy, I could listen to your teachings all day long, tsk, this operation is only what my son-in-law can toss. ”

Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing had just finished class, chatting together during a break.

As the Tang Royal Military Academy, the teachings of each subject are basically the generals of the Twelve Guards, allowing them to pass on their own experience.

And the first batch of trainees are also excellent personnel recruited from the guards and the sons of the nobles.

For example, Cheng Chuliang, he is now studying in the cavalry department.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu came up with the idea of opening a military academy, what does it have to do with you?"

Li Jing is also very familiar with Cheng Yanjin, and he naturally does not speak so politely.

"Hehe, that's my son-in-law."

Li Jing: ......

"Pharmacist, what is your expression? Could it be that you don't think this military academy is good? Now in Chang'an City, everyone is thinking of ways to stuff people here. ”

"Which mouth did I say that the military academy is bad?"

Hearing Cheng Yanjin say this, Li Jing thought of his two sons again.

Other princes and generals all sent their sons and nephews of school age to study at the Tang Royal Military Academy, but their two sons were ......

Troublesome!

"What kind of military parade did Your Majesty ask the Ministry of War to organize yesterday, what do you think?"

Cheng Yanjin no longer stimulated Li Jing, but turned to business.

Just yesterday, Qin Qiong suddenly proposed at the court meeting to set up the Tang Dynasty National Day, and was holding a military parade on the day of the National Day.

Many people were stunned when they heard the news.

There was no reason to oppose it for a while.

Therefore, Li Shimin made a decision on the spot that the first day of May every year is the founding day of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to celebrate the first founding day of the Tang Dynasty, this year the Ministry of War and the Royal Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty will lead a military parade.

The school yard inspectors, everyone has heard of it.

But no one knows how this parade will be carried out.

"What else can you think, apart from your Chenglong fast son-in-law, who else can toss this kind of thing?"

Li Jing thought with his toes and knew that there was definitely Li Kuan's shadow behind this matter.

Maybe it was at Li Kuan's suggestion that there was this Tang Dynasty National Festival and military parade.

Over the years, if there is anything strange and strange that everyone can't understand, nine times out of ten it has something to do with the Chu Palace.

"I have been founding the Tang Dynasty for more than 20 years, and many people have forgotten the scene of the original conquest of the Quartet; The establishment of a founding day can also make everyone remember the difficulty at the beginning. As for the parade, although I don't know if there are other deep meanings, but for those of us who lead the troops, it should not be a bad thing. ”

"Qin Shubao went to the Chu Palace's mansion today, presumably to discuss the matter of this military parade. Since Your Majesty is ready to take the students of the Tang Royal Military Academy as the main body, and then send some of the personnel of the Twelve Guards to participate in the military parade, I estimate that there will be more people who want to come to the Military Academy in the future. ”

Li Jing is well aware of the importance of training military talents, and he also strongly supports the development of the Tang Royal Military Academy.

Otherwise, how could a person of his status come to the academy every day to teach?

Isn't it fragrant to drink flower wine at home?

"The military academy is good, but half of the courses are cultural courses, which I don't understand. When we are soldiers and fight, we don't rely on our mouths to fight, and we have this time to practice horseback archery, isn't it? ”

Although Cheng Yanjin often goes to the academy to teach, he actually doesn't recognize the atmosphere of both civil and military affairs in the academy.

"You don't rely on your mouth to fight, but you have to rely on your brain! Do you think everyone is just like you playing with those three-plate axes? ”

Li Jing is among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a very deep literary attainment.

Otherwise, there would be no military writing.

You know, people in ancient times wanted to write books, not as individuals as in later generations.

"You don't have to set the bar that high. I heard that the Datang Royal Military Academy is preparing to set a new rule that cadets are not allowed to graduate if they do not pass the cultural exam; Even those who come in to study in the future must at least be literate. ”

"The military academy cultivates command talents, if you don't even know a few big characters, how can you command operations?"

"Forget it, anyway, I don't have to take this Laoshzi exam anymore, they can toss as much as they like."

……

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there is only one month left before the founding day, will it be too late to train those people who have been transferred by the Twelve Guards to take the right steps like cadets of the Military Academy?"

In the courtyard of the Chu Palace, Qin Qiong took the initiative to come to Li Kuan to discuss the military parade.

The thing was proposed by Li Kuan, so Qin Qiong wouldn't let him be the shopkeeper.

Besides, what kind of military parade is going to be, he really wants to hear Li Kuan's thoughts.

"Pharmacist, it's just a simple queue training, one month is enough. You also see what the situation of those cadets of the military academy is now, and what was the situation at the beginning. This new type of queue training can more vividly show the demeanor of our Datang soldiers during the military parade. Not to mention anything else, just a few hundred or thousands of people walking in unison on Suzaku Street, that scene can definitely calm all the audience.

What is the purpose of the parade? Naturally, it is to show the national prestige of our Datang to the people and to the subordinate countries of Fanbang, to show the military prestige of our Datang army, to show the achievements of our army in recent years, and also to demonstrate the strength of our army in maintaining stability in the frontier. To put it bluntly, this military parade ceremony can be more shocking. There is no need to engage in so many bells and whistles. ”

Li Kuan also visited the training of the soldiers of the Twelve Guards, and these soldiers cannot be said to be brave or mighty.

However, standing in a queue is not neat, and the visual impact is much worse.

If it can show extraordinary parades and equipment like the military parades in later generations, it will be able to make countless people proud and make the hearts of the vassal countries of Fanbang tremble.

"But it took our trainees three months to complete the training, and now there is only one month left, and it is very difficult to get all 10,000 people participating in the parade to complete the training."

It's not that Qin Qiong doesn't know the benefits of the method that Li Kuan said, but he is worried that when the time comes, he will be pulled out for a military parade halfway through training, which will disgrace the Military Academy.

"One month is enough! The 10,000 men were divided into 200 teams for training. The cadets of the Tang Royal Military Academy have now mastered this training method, so let them act as instructors. ”

In later generations, the university military training was only one month, of which half a month was basically cultural content, and the real queue training was only about half a month.

So Li Kuan is not worried that he will not be able to practice well in a month.

No matter how bad it is, can it be more untidy than now?

"In that case, then I'll start arranging when I go back, and I'll start training the day after tomorrow at the latest. However, these soldiers of the Twelve Guards have to suffer. ”

Qin Qiong can imagine that these students, who have just completed their training not long ago, now have the opportunity to incarnate as instructors to train others, and they must have doubled the hardships they have endured on these soldiers.

……

"Jiujo-kun, have you read today's "Datang Daily"?"

Inside the Japanese Embassy, Konoe came to Kujo's side with a newspaper.

Because he was preparing to stay in Chang'an for a long time, after Jiujo arrived in Chang'an this time, he only lived in the courtyard arranged by the Ministry of Rites for a few days, so he purchased a large courtyard next to it and placed all the personnel sent by the Tang envoys of the Japanese State in it.

"Datang Daily, Chang'an Evening News, Qujiang Daily, as well as the Sun and the Moon, are all must-read for me every day. Why, did Konoe-kun find anything interesting? ”

Shinichi Kujo has been living a more leisurely life lately.

Anyway, he is ready to fight a protracted war, and what he can learn with the Tang envoy is nothing.

The main workshop in Chang'an City will definitely not let the personnel who sent the Tang envoys to study, and the Guanshishan Academy will not let them go in to study.

However, Qujiang Academy and Weishui Academy absorbed some personnel.

"Datang set the first day of the fifth month as the founding day, and then a military parade will be held on this day. I think this is a very good opportunity to understand the military power of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the Celestial Empire is strong, but how powerful it is, we have never had an accurate concept, I think we have to take this opportunity to have a good understanding. ”

Konoe was very active during this time, and often looked for opportunities to visit this and that.

"Since Datang is going to hold this military parade on Suzaku Street again, naturally he doesn't plan to hide it from anyone, and you can watch it if you want to see it when the time comes."

"Jiutiao-kun, this military parade is said to be hosted by the Datang Royal Military Academy and the Ministry of War, we have never been to the Datang Royal Military Academy before, can you take this opportunity to let the Ministry of Rites arrange for us to visit?"

If the Guanshishan Academy only restricts the Japanese people from moving around at will, the Datang Royal Military Academy does not allow any Japanese to enter at all.

Even the people of Chang'an City are not allowed to enter and leave casually.

The more this is not visited, the more mysterious the Tang Royal Military Academy becomes.

Not to mention that the people of Chang'an City are very curious, the surrounding Fanbang vassal states are even more curious.

In the past few months, the Datang Royal Military Academy has also arrested a few Hu people who tried to infiltrate the academy and directly made them disappear from their bodies.

"Konoe-kun, this is Chang'an Castle, not Nara Castle. Whether it's the Konoe family or the Kujo family, in the eyes of the Tang people, it's nothing. Not to mention His Royal Highness the King of Chu, even a random nobleman in Chang'an City can't get along with us, and it's enough for us to drink a pot. I think it's better not to have some thoughts that shouldn't be had, don't even stay in Chang'an City at that time. ”

Kujou saw that the guards actually hit the head of the Tang Royal Military Academy, and his face immediately turned bad.

A place where even the Tang people can't come and go at will, Konoe always wants to go.

If His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows about this, he may not know how to clean himself up when the time comes.

After all, he was the envoy who sent the Tang envoy.

"I heard that many generals in Chang'an City teach in military academies, and if they can also let us arrange a few people to study, it will be of great significance to our country."

Konoe obviously hasn't suffered a loss yet, and feels that he is thinking about the Japanese country, and Kujo should support him.

And judging from his dealings with some people in the Ministry of Rites in recent days, he also thinks that this is a possibility.

"I heard that Iwami Yinshan has arranged a group of people to come to Datang, if you really want to understand Datang's art of war, you might as well see if you can find opportunities from these people when the time comes. Datang Royal Military Academy, don't think about it. ”

What you can't touch, Kujo knows a lot better than Konoe.

Not to mention the military academy, such as glass workshops, cement workshops, clock workshops and other unique workshops in Datang, they are all untouchable.

Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether these people can return to the country alive.

……

Guanshishan Academy Opera House.

All shows have been canceled in the last month.

However, the staff of the opera house are not only not more idle, but even busier.

"The use of this clarinet is different from that of the flute and the flute. When you exhale, you should hold your abdomen, and when you blow, your abdomen should be retracted, and this is not the time for you to be subtle. When playing the clarinet, it is like a soldier shooting an arrow; The distance of the bow and arrow and the strength of the bow are closely related to how well your bowstring is drawn; The tighter you pull the bowstring, the more powerful the arrow will fire. You go back and practice a little more, and you must blow the momentum. ”

Zixia personally stood in front of the stage and commanded, pushing forward 100% of the tasks ordered by Li Kuan.

On the first day of the first day of May, a military parade will be held, and of course a group of people will not be able to walk around there dryly.

Before the crossing, although Li Kuan did not have the opportunity to participate in the military parade in person, he saw the end of the last few major military parades.

In a way, he's also a military fan.

So he simply got the classic march of later generations and asked Zixia to form a military band in the opera house to play the march during the military parade.

In order to make this piece more imposing, Li Kuan also made out instruments that are not yet available, such as clarinet and percussion.

In order to have a blockbuster effect at that time.

"Don't shrink up, you have to sit and stand, you have to imagine yourself as a Tang Dynasty soldier to play."

Li Kuan also personally came to the opera house today to confirm the progress of the military band.

The main task of the military parade is on the side of the Tang Royal Military Academy, there are so many students who have just been tortured as coaches, Li Kuan is not very worried.

Another task is this inconspicuous-looking military band, which is an important tool to set the mood.

"Lord Wang, I think it would be better to move the rehearsal of the military band to the Datang Royal Military Academy, so that the members of the orchestra can feel the atmosphere in advance, and let them know more about the situation of the Datang sergeants, will it be more effective?"

Zixia took the initiative to put forward suggestions for improvement.

In the past, the rehearsals of plays in opera houses were performed for the purpose of entertaining the audience, which is completely different from the requirements now.

Zixia was also afraid that the military band would not meet Li Kuan's requirements at that time.

"That's okay, just let the people of the military band take two hours out every day to participate in the training of the military academy, so that they can feel it firsthand, so that the music played by everyone will be more imposing."

Li Kuan naturally would not object to Zixia's proposal.

Besides, it does have its benefits to bringing all the relevant people together in advance.

After all, as the initiator of the military parade, Li Kuan naturally hoped that the ceremony would be as successful as possible.
