At the foot of the southern slope of the old mountain, in the Ming Army Lecture Hall (Nanjing Martial Arts School), it is boiling like hot water boiling today. When the morning exercise, the head of the hall, Hao Yongzhong (Hao Shaoqi), opened his loud voice and announced the news that the imperial court was going to crusade against the Anton rebels and began to recruit brave warriors, volunteers, and knights, and no one could go to class with peace of mind.

Therefore, the students, whether they are freshmen who have only entered the hall at the beginning of the year, or third-year students who are about to graduate and are waiting for graduation exams and joining the team for internships, are still in the lecture hall, but their minds do not know where to fly.

Not only are the students in the martial arts hall in the mood to continue studying, but even the 24-year-old Sun Shining, the third-year instructor of the martial arts artillery department, has no intention of explaining ballistics to the students now.

Because he knows that the upcoming battle to pacify Anton will create tens of millions of heroes who have overcome difficulties!

For him, a young officer who was born in a professional class, having the title of "overcoming difficulties" is undoubtedly a reliance on his future success.

And he has one more advantage over the average young officer from the martial arts, he is the son of the great loyal martyr!

His father is the last hope of Emperor Chongzhen, the governor of Shaanxi, the title of secretary of the military department, and the military governor of the seven provinces.

When Sun Chuanting died in the battle of Tongguan, Sun Shining was only eight years old, and in October of the same year, Xi'an, where he lived with his family, was attacked by Li Zicheng, and his mother Zhang, his two little mothers and his two sisters all committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well, leaving him alone to be adopted by an old man. Later, Li Zicheng once joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Sun Shirui, the eldest son of Sun Chuanting, who served as an official in the palace, entered Shaanxi, collected his mother's body, and found his lost brother Sun Shining.

Only then did the two brothers help each other go south and go to Nanjing to join Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Fujun army at that time.

And Zhu Cihong had already given Sun Chuanting the nickname of "Wenzhong" at that time, and he also posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Zhenwu.

After Sun Shirui arrived in Nanjing, of course, he attacked his father's title, and Zhu Cihong also gave him the grace of not surrendering once - although Sun Chuanting was a loyal martyr, he was not a hero who overcame difficulties, so the title he passed down was to be surrendered.

As for Sun Shining, because he is the second son, he can't get a knighthood and an official position - Zhu Cihong has no such thing as a "world position" here. If the merit is high, he will be knighted, and except for the hereditary official position in the inner domain, no one else can get the hereditary position. Therefore, Sun Shining, as the son of the great loyal martyr, can only be a cloth cloth with no official body!

This arrangement looks a bit ruthless, but it is also an incentive for the second and N generations like Sun Shining. If you have everything in your life, even an official position, and you become an official while lying down, is there any reason to work hard?

Therefore, although Zhu Cihong was very generous when he was knighted, he always adhered to the principles of "not rewarding the world" and "not awarding the second son".

Not to mention that Sun Chuanting's second son can't get a knighthood because of Zuyin, even Wu Sanfu's second son is dressed in white!

Exceptions can be made, only the king! The second son of the prince and the king of the county can be crowned the marquis and the uncle, the third son can be the uncle and the son, the fourth son can be the son and the man, the fifth son of the prince can be the man, and the five sons of the county king and below are white! And the prince's six sons and below are all white!

And a large number of noble-born "white dings" became the main source of cadets and recruited knights...... Oh, and there are quite a few people who get on the ships that go to the New World to fight the world.

In short, without hereditary wealth, they can only start working hard.

In addition, although Zhu Cihong did not give them official positions and titles, he opened many new schools for them to help them succeed.

After Sun Shining arrived in Jiangnan, he studied in Nanjing Primary School and Nanjing Middle School, and was admitted to the Daming Lecture Hall with excellent results.

After graduating from Jiangwutang, because of his excellent grades, he received a sword from Emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty. Only the top three in each session and each subject will have the honor of giving away the sword - this is not the kind of mass-produced imperial sword that everyone has, but a royal gift sword that only nine people can get in one session!

But Sun Shining, who waited for the gift of the sword, did not have a chance to show his skills on the battlefield.

Because when he graduated from Jiangwutang, the Ming Dynasty had already recovered Beijing, except for the southwest corner occupied by the Liukou, which had not been recovered, and the Great Ming seemed to be too peaceful.

It's a bit of a hero's uselessness......

Just when Sun Shining was in a hurry, his elder brother, Sun Shirui, who had already mixed with the Ming court, won him another opportunity to be a "candidate for the horse" - Zhu Cihong's sister-in-law, Princess Zhaoren, was already a big girl in the boudoir, and she should have married a long time ago in terms of age. It's just that Princess Zhaoren likes to read too much, and she went to Jinling Girls' School (which is a girls' academy), so she was delayed a little time.

But the emperor's sister is now not worried about getting married!

The emperor's daughters and sisters are worried about marrying, which is actually one of the signs of the weakening of imperial power.

And the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty has never been as prominent as it is now since it became an ancestor!

So if Sun Shining can choose a colt, it would be good...... But the problem is that if you choose a colt, you may not be able to go to the battlefield!

If you can't go to the battlefield, can you be a horse master who eats soft rice all his life?

"Mr. Sun, we want to petition!"

When Sun Shining was full of thoughts, several students who were burying their heads in the exam papers in class suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Sun Shining looked up and saw that the person who took the lead in shouting was a student who looked black and thick, like an iron tower, and was also a loyal martyr, Zhou Yongbin, the son of Zhou Yuji.

When Zhou Yongbin's father, Zhou Yuji, died in battle in Ningwu, he was still a doll and lived in Beijing. was carried by the loyal servants of the family to flee with Zhu Cihong, all the way to Jiangnan.

After settling down, Zhu Cihong also posthumously gave Zhou Yuji a loyal marquis, which was inherited by Zhou Yongbin, and he was also exempted from a substitution.

In other words, this Zhou Yongbin is a Hou Ye.

In the lecture hall, the children of the nobles are in groups, some of the sons of the grandfather and the marquis, and even the little prince has a few. But none of them themselves attacked the knighthood, if Zhou Yongbin came with a marquis title like this, there were really few, needless to say, after all the heroes.

"Marquis Zhongwu," Sun Shining said with a calm face, "Your roll is ready?"

"Sir, what time is it?" Zhou Yongbin stomped his feet, "There is going to be a war soon...... You're not in a hurry? If you miss this opportunity, the next time you think it will be ten or eight years away!"

"Yes! Let's go and petition together! I can't wait! "Another tiger-headed guy jumped up, he is also a loyal queen, the son of Hu Dawei, not the eldest son, so there is no attack, can you not be in a hurry?

"Sir, we can't wait!"

"Don't miss your chance!"

"We're going to war......"

Sun Shining frowned and shouted, "You are in a hurry, I am not in a hurry?" But I don't count it! ”

Zhou Yongbin said: "We can go and petition, go and petition to Hall Chief Hao...... If it really can't work, I went to the imperial front to petition and ask him to allow us to graduate early and join the army! ”

"Yes, let's go and petition together!"

"Mr. Sun, let's go together!"

"Let's go and petition together!"

"If you don't go, you won't have a chance!"

If you don't go, you won't have a chance! The students are dying!

Sun Shining was right to think about it, this opportunity could not be missed, otherwise he would really have to marry a princess and eat soft rice......

"Good!" Sun Shining nodded heavily, "Let's go and petition together!" I'll take you with me! ”

Sun Shining nodded, don't take today's ballistics exam, a room of students hula followed him out of the classroom, to the playground outside, only then did they find that the hall building was already crowded, at least two or three thousand people crowded there.

The entire lecture hall is already boiling!

The cadets at the school, regardless of their grade, were there shouting: "We are going to fight!" We're going to war! ...... to war"
