Chapter IX: The Inaugural Meeting of the Allied Forces

The spring day is bright, and the sky is as blue as a wash! Donglai City, outside the east gate, on a meadow within a radius of several miles, there is a school field covering an area of dozens of acres in the southeast!

At this time, thousands of elite soldiers are standing on the school ground! The soldiers stood silently in black armor, and at a glance, the queue was neat!

Above the soldiers, there are flags of various colors. In the center, however, there are two particularly tall black flags. One of the flags was embroidered with three big fiery red characters of "Allied Army" on both sides, while the other flag was embroidered with a huge dark gold "Su" character on both sides! Flags stand in the wind, hunting sounds!

There is an altar directly east of the school grounds. The altar is surrounded by flags! A few tables lined up in front of the altar! The table is full of pigs, cows, sheep and other sacrifices!

This day is the day when the Allied Army held its inaugural meeting, and it was also the day when the Allied Army held a military parade!

Early this morning, the people of Donglai County came here from all directions! At this time, the grass in front of the school field was already full of people, but the people were still increasing!

Leaning on the grass in front of the school grounds, there are rows of tables and chairs. The tables and chairs are full! These people were invited by Taishou Wei Yunqi, the head of the wealthy family of Donglai County and its representatives!

At this time, the head of the family and its representatives were no different from the people around them. They are all talking and talking quietly with the people around them!

Unlike the people around them, who all looked happy, these people had different expressions! Maybe some of them are happy and envious, and some are sad and angry, or even jealous and hateful! Different minds mixed with different expressions!

At noon, in the ranks of soldiers in the school field, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared and ran towards the altar on the east side of the school field! There were about fifty cavalrymen in this group, and they were all wearing black bright light armor! Except for the general in the middle, who was a few steps ahead and rode a red horse, the others were all straddling a longbow on their left shoulder and a black halberd in their right hand! The halberd blade and the armor goggles complement each other, and they continue to shine in the sunlight!

The sudden appearance of the situation on the school field made the surrounding people instantly quiet. They all watched intently, the cavalry on the field!

About twenty paces away from the sacrificial table, the general on a red horse suddenly raised his right hand. The cavalrymen pulled the reins with their left hands at the same time, and in an instant, dozens of horses stopped in unison! At the same time, the halberds in the hands of the cavalry were also erected on the ground with a "bang"!

The general on the red horse dismounted with the other soldiers and walked to the altar alone! At this time, everyone understood that it should be time to prepare for the ceremony of worshipping the heavens for the establishment of the alliance......

After more than half an hour of busy work, those dozens of people finally completed the complicated set of rituals to worship the heavens!

The general, who was riding a red horse, led everyone to ride to the front of the school yard, and stopped neatly in the place where he was relatively ahead!

The general rode a few more paces forward. After scanning the circle with sharp eyes, he bowed his hand and said loudly: "Fathers and villagers of Donglai County, hello everyone! I'm the leader of the League! My name is Su Shang, and I am also from Donglai! Thank you very much today for witnessing the founding of our Alliance! ”

As soon as the people heard him introduce himself as Donglai Sushang, they suddenly became a little excited, and they whispered to each other to discuss it!

Su Shang, this name is too popular in Donglai! Although there are not many people who really know him, Su Shang, the "three-character Su Shao", is a household name in Donglai! One of his three-character scriptures has benefited the scholars and students of Donglai County a lot!

Su Shang watched the people discuss for a while before he raised his right hand and gently pressed it down! The people on the field seemed to understand the meaning of this gesture in an instant, and they were quiet at the same time!

"I think everybody knows! In the past few years of my Great Sui Dynasty, natural disasters have occurred frequently, and bandits have broken out everywhere, resulting in many people losing their homes! Now, our Donglai County is also under the increasing threat of bandits! It is estimated that the bandit army in Shandong will soon cause trouble to our Donglai County! Among them, the most powerful is Wang Bo's rebels. They already have more than 300,000 men! Everywhere they went, they burned, killed, looted, chickens and dogs restlessly, and the people suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed like rivers! ”

"What should we do in East Lae City? Where should we Donglai people go? The more Su Shang spoke, the heavier it became, as if a boulder had fallen from the sky, and the surrounding people also felt a lot heavier physically and mentally!

In the troubled times, human life is splashed like grass, and they don't know what to do! Everyone looked at Su Shang fixedly, waiting for him to continue! Hopefully he can think of a way for everyone!

"I'm from Donglai! I love the mountains of Donglai, and I love the water of Donglai! I love everything about Donglai! I don't want to leave Donglai! I don't want my loved ones to be hurt! Su Shang was a little excited, and his voice became louder and louder: "So, I established the Alliance!" Now the Allies have been formed! I hope that they can work with me to protect Donglai and their relatives! Protect everything in Donglai! Now I declare the Confederate Army officially formed! ”

"Protect Donglai, protect your loved ones! Allies, Wan Sheng! As Su Shang's words fell, the soldiers on the school field shouted a deafening slogan at the same time! The agitated feelings, even the surrounding people were infected and shouted loudly, and for a while, the shouts in the venue shook the sky!

Su Shang made a stop gesture, and the loud venue suddenly fell silent again! "The bandit army is huge, and the current alliance strength alone is not enough to protect Donglai! Only by allowing the allies to grow rapidly can we resist the rebels and protect us! Protect everything in our Dongnai County! Therefore, I decided to expand the size of the Confederate army! Starting tomorrow, the Allies will set up 10 points in Dongrae County to recruit soldiers! I hope that the warriors present will sign up enthusiastically when the time comes! The allies need everyone's support, and they need the support of everyone in Donglai! Protect your loved ones! Protect Donglai! It's up to all of us to work together! ”

"I would like to announce to you a few decisions and promises related to the Confederates! First, all rewards in the Allied Army are based on military merit. The more military merits, the higher the reward! The rewards in the army are all fair, and there will never be a phenomenon of pretending to lead the army! Second, the military position in the Allied Army is based on ability! All people are equal, and the greater the ability, the greater the military position! Third, the Allied army will not only train soldiers, but also teach written knowledge in the army, and everyone can participate in the study! Fourth, the League will establish the Alliance Military Academy, and I will personally serve as the principal! At that time, they will take turns to rank the generals in the army to teach the skills and experience of marching and fighting. And I will personally teach the students the knowledge of the art of war! The Allied Military Academy will take the military merits and ability of the soldiers as the selection criteria, and all the soldiers who meet the standards will become the cadets of the Allied Military Academy! Fifth, the Alliance will establish an Alliance Academy! All children between the ages of seven and fifteen in Dongnai County can enter and learn! All officers and men in the army are entitled to a free place for a child to be admitted to the hospital for study! And you can also enjoy more places according to the military merits and positions of the soldiers! ”

"The Confederates are victorious! Allies win! With Su Shang's announcement, the atmosphere at the venue detonated again! Whether it is the soldiers of the Allied Army or the people around, everyone is excited! There were bursts of earth-shattering shouts in the venue again!

Knowledge and writing have always been monopolized by wealthy families, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn it! The art of war is even more untouchable to outsiders, and it has always been a single inheritance of master and apprentice or a treasure of the family inheritance of a wealthy family!

Now Su Shang said that he would personally teach the art of war, and as long as he was an allied soldier, he would have the opportunity to learn it! This is definitely an unprecedented and peerless opportunity, how can the soldiers and the people not be excited!
