Chapter 186: What Are You?
In the barracks of the Tieshu Army, Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi walked into the camp together, because the Tieshu Army had been transferred to Goryeo, and there were only a few dozen noble sons left, so the entire barracks seemed very empty, and even the soldiers guarding the door looked a little listless.
"Second Brother Mu is leaving, the entire barracks are empty, and it feels a little desolate?" Zhu Yunxi was also looking around when he entered the barracks, he used to often come to the Iron Book Army, Mu Sheng and he were both grandchildren of Lao Zhu, so they were also called brothers.
"It's empty, it's just enough to be transformed into martial arts!" Li Jie was observing the entire military camp while walking, and he was also planning the transformation of martial arts in the future, martial arts is not as good as other academies, and it requires a lot of space to practice, so this empty military camp can just be used to transform into martial arts.
"Is martial arts really that important?" Zhu Yunxi also heard Li Jie mention martial arts many times along the way, and even the emperor's grandfather and father served as the chief and deputy mountain chiefs respectively, which was unprecedented.
"That's natural, Your Highness, you have to remember that the imperial power is nothing more than the military and political powers, and among the two powers, the military power is the premise, only by mastering the army, the imperial power has the basis for exercising, so no matter when, the emperor must firmly hold the military power in his hands, otherwise he will only become the puppet of the minister!" Li Jie also warned Zhu Yunxi very seriously at this time.
Zhu Yunxi also showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, and after a long while, he raised his head and said, "I understand, thank you Li for reading!" ”
"Forget about thanks, but you can't change your name and call me brother-in-law in advance?" Li Jie said helplessly.
"That's not good, when you and my sister are officially married, I will change my mind!" Zhu Yunxi is very stubborn, this is a matter of principle.
Li Jie was speechless, so he had to go, but looking at Lao Zhu's appearance, he might not let him marry Zhu Yuning until next year at the earliest, of course, this is just Li Jie's estimate, maybe the marriage date will be postponed.
"Cousin, everyone has gathered, just wait for you to pass!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Liu Yi rushing over, shouting to Li Jie with an excited face.
"Come now!" Li Jie agreed, and walked forward with Zhu Yunxi, and then the three of them came to the location of the council hall together, the last time Li Jie came here, it was Mu Sheng who brought him here, but he bumped into Liu Ying with a group of noble sons here to listen to the play, and there was no military camp at all.
However, when Li Jie entered the council hall this time, he found that this group of sons was very different from last time, the most obvious change was that they were divided into two factions, one faction was wearing the number one uniform in the army, the waist was straight, and the black and thin face was full of fierce color, these people were the sons of the world who were willing to participate in Mu Sheng's drill before, although they were disappointed that they were not able to go out with the army before, the previous drill still made them change a lot.
Compared with these people, the other group of princes next to them still look like they are hanging children, these people gather in groups of three or five, sitting or standing, and there are even a few grease and powder, who look feminine in women, anyway, there are all kinds of people.
Liu Ying is not here, because he went to the Ministry of Industry to ask for someone, after all, the entire military camp is to be transformed into martial arts, and the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry is definitely needed.
I saw Li Jie walking in front of everyone, and then looked at them before he said with a smile: "I think everyone knows me, my name is Li Jie, Liu Ying, the commander of the Iron Book Army, is my own uncle, and I have just been crowned Jinghaibo recently!" ”
As soon as Li Jie's words came out, everyone showed a shocked look, of course they knew Li Jie, after all, he was the only surviving grandson of Li Shanchang, so Li Jie's reputation had already spread among the nobles, not to mention that Li Jie was also Liu Ying's nephew, and he had also come to the Iron Book Army many times before.
It's just that what they never expected was that Li Jie was made an earl at a young age, although the lowest in their families were marquises, but it was a family heirloom, not earned by them, and Li Jie's title was a real credit, which could not be compared at all.
"Isn't it just an earl, what do you show?" But at this moment, a discordant voice shouted below.
Li Jie heard the sound and looked, only to see that the person who spoke was a tall and thin man, sitting with a few noble sons around him, and this person Li Jie also knew, his name was Xu Tianshou, Xu Da's youngest son, after Xu Da's death, the eldest son Xu Huizu inherited the title of Duke of Wei, because Xu Huizu did not have a son now, so he sent his younger brother Xu Tianshou to the Iron Book Army as a hostage.
"A little earl is nothing, of course, but ...... What are you? Li Jie looked at Xu Tianshou and sneered, he didn't expect that someone would really dare to come forward, but this also happened to take the other party to stand up.
"You...... Do you dare to scold me? Xu Tianshou also got angry when he heard this, and asked angrily with Li Jie in his hand, as the youngest son of the general Xu Da, he has been pampered since he was a child, and his family didn't even dare to say anything serious about him, let alone scold him.
At this time, the others also woke up from the shock, and saw that the conflict between Xu Tianshou and Li Jie also showed playful expressions one by one, they didn't know why Li Jie came to the Iron Book Army, but Xu Tianshou was notoriously arrogant, and there would be a good show when the two of them clashed.
"What's wrong with scolding you, Lao Tzu not only wants to scold you, but also beat you!" Li Jie didn't say anything at all, picked up the paperweight on the table and smashed it directly.
Xu Tianshou was just a bully, he didn't expect Li Jie to do it directly, but this paperweight hit his face, which made Xu Tianshou scream, covering his face and lying on the table and unable to get up.
The people around were all taken aback, no one expected that Li Jie would be even more horizontal than Xu Tianshou, and he would directly beat people, you must know that the Wei Mansion is not easy to mess with, even if Li Jie's identity is not ordinary, but after all, Li Shanchang behind him has fallen, and now he is just a small earl, even if he is the prince's son-in-law, the Wei Mansion is not something he can easily provoke.
However, Li Jie glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and now everyone didn't dare to look at him anymore, for fear of really angering him, and Li Jie was also secretly refreshed in his heart, he and Lao Zhu learned to smash people with things, not to mention, it was really cool, no wonder Lao Zhu liked it so much.
"Your Majesty has a will, from now on the establishment of martial arts, Your Majesty personally appointed the post of mountain chief, the prince is the deputy mountain chief, Yihui Hou Liu Ying is Xuezheng, Jinghai Bo Li Jie is a young learner, and you are all in martial arts, as the first batch of students of martial arts!" Li Jie solemnly announced Lao Zhu's will at this time.
"Wow~" As soon as Li Jie's words came out, the pot immediately exploded below, and even Xu Tianshou, who was screaming, raised his face, looked at Li Jie in disbelief, and even forgot to wipe the blood flowing from his forehead.
"Where are Fu Rang and Feng Chen?" Li Jie suddenly called out the names of the two people.
"The subordinates are here!" Immediately, two young people stood up and saluted, and the expressions on their faces were also very respectful, they had all seen Li Jie's methods just now, and they didn't even pay attention to the Wei State Mansion, so they didn't want to touch their heads again.
Li Jie looked at the two young men, among them, the tall and dark-faced young man on the left side of the road was Fu Rang, he was the youngest son of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, and Feng Chen, who was of medium stature next to him but had a strong face, was the son of the great general Feng Sheng, both of whom were willing to participate in the drill before, and they performed quite well, Mu Sheng once said that the talents of these two people were not below him.
"You two are very good, Mu Sheng praised you many times before, and now that the martial arts school is established, the students will also be divided into two classes, you will be the squad leader, and each will lead a class to practice!" Li Jie spoke again at this time, there are not many students in the first batch, and one class is enough, but Li Jie feels that two classes can increase some competition.
"Li Shaoxue, I want to ask, what is this martial arts for?" I saw that Feng Chen did not agree immediately, but asked Li Jie rhetorically.
"Martial arts originated from the former Song Dynasty, it is for the imperial court to train military generals, now it is only the beginning, the scale is not large, the first batch is only you students, in the future, you will be sent to the army, as for whether you can make meritorious contributions, it depends on what skills you can learn!" Li Jie gave a brief introduction.
"Li Shaoxue, do you mean that as long as we can get out of martial arts, we can enter the army?" Fu Rang next to him also asked Li Jie with a look of surprise.
"Not bad!" Li Jie nodded, "I'll make it clear what I said, after you are all nobles, your fathers and ancestors have also followed Your Majesty to conquer the south and the north, and have made great achievements, and it is precisely because of them that you can come here, but Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with you, compared to your fathers and ancestors, what are you doing now?" ”
Li Jie also glanced at everyone again at the end, and as a result, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him, even Feng Chen and Fu Rang, although they also had their own ambitions, but compared to their father, they were really much worse.
"You are the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty also hopes that you can be like your own fathers and ancestors, you can make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so you established the martial arts school, teach you the ability to lead the army to fight, as long as you can complete your studies from martial arts in the future, you will be awarded a military position immediately, and it is a real military position, not to let you go to the army to get a little light and mix up a qualification!" Li Jie said again.
The so-called mixed qualifications are actually the paving techniques commonly used by the nobles to their children and grandchildren, that is, to use their influence in the army, let them hold a false position in the army, and follow others around the battlefield to make a difference, so that it will be easier to be promoted in the future, but although the promotion is fast, they have not been really trained, which will cause great hidden dangers in the army.
