Chapter 168: The Garrison (2)
"Student Feng Yong, see Lord Wang." Feng Yong knelt down on one knee and saluted Guo Qi.
"Student...... See the prince. The students who came with Feng Yong saluted Guo Qi together.
"Get up!" Guo Qi was very satisfied and said: "Let's talk about it!" What are you looking for this king? ”
"Lord Wang, if the student wants to join the army, please allow the prince." Feng Yong once again knelt down on one knee and asked Guo Qi for his life.
"You get up first!" Guo Qi smiled at Feng Yong and said, "This king asks you, why did you join the army?" Do you know what you will face when you join the army? ”
"Lord Wang, when the student joined the army, he said that he wanted to serve the prince and defend his family and country; At worst, it is to avenge the student's parents, and at the same time, the student also wants to make a name for himself. Feng Yong got up and replied to Guo Qi.
"Then do you know that after joining the army, you will go to the battlefield at any time, and you may lose your life in the next moment, aren't you afraid of death?"
"Students are also human beings, and they are naturally afraid of death." Feng Yong replied very sincerely; "But there are some things that we can't stop doing because we are afraid, and if everyone doesn't join the army because they're afraid of death, then who can defend our homeland; Then will we be slaves of Xijon again, as we have done before, and we will live a precarious life in fear every day. ”
"Well, that's a good point; He's a frank man. Guo Qi patted Feng Yong on the shoulder and said, "Based on what you just said, this king can allow you to join the army now." ”
"Thank you, Lord." Feng Yong was very excited and saluted Guo Qi again.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Guo Qi said to everyone: "Among you who want to join the army, this king will all be allowed, and the army now needs you talents;
But the king will tell you in advance that you will soon experience a great battle when you join the army, in which many people will die; If you just want to gain a reputation, you don't have to join the army at all, you can go through the imperial examination to become a civil official;
This king has given you half an hour to think about it, and if you want to join the army, you will go to the palace to report on this matter, and this matter is entirely voluntary, and all personnel shall not stop it, and those who violate the order shall be engaged in military law. ”
After Guo Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Xue Wen, and it was obvious that Guo Qi was specifically speaking to Xue Wen about this last order.
At this time, Xue Wen's face was ugly, the students in the academy had asked to join the army not once or twice, especially Feng Yong was the most active among these students; Among these students in the school, Feng Yong is definitely top-notch, and Xue Wen is also very cultivated by Feng Yong, hoping that one day Feng Yong can become a generation of Confucianism and inherit his mantle.
After Guo Qi left, Xue Wen called Feng Yong to his study.
"Bump!" Xue Wen slapped the book case angrily and said: "Feng Yong, do you want to be angry and become a teacher?" How many times has the teacher told you that with your knowledge, as long as you study hard and do your studies well, it will not be difficult to become a generation of Confucians in the future;
If you want to gain fame, it is not difficult to participate in the imperial imperial examination, even if you will be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, why do you insist on joining the army? ”
"The Master is angry." Feng Yong bowed to Xue Wen and said, "The student has made up his mind, please don't persuade the master anymore, even if the student will be bloodstained in the future, the student will not regret his recent decision." ”
"If you insist on joining the army, don't recognize me as a master again." Xue Wen shook his sleeves and turned his back to Feng Yong and made a big move.
Feng Yong knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to Xue Wen and said, "Master, take care, the student retires." ”
It wasn't until Feng Yong's footsteps gradually disappeared that Xue Wen turned around and sighed in the direction Feng Yong left, his face full of regret.
Feng Yong returned to his residence to pack up his salutes, and left the school with a group of like-minded students and went straight to King Yong's mansion.
After Guo Qi returned to the Yongwang Mansion, he ordered someone to set up a registration office in front of the palace, and all students who held the Yongzhou School documents (student ID) would be hired as long as they came here to sign up for the army.
"My lord, all the students who came to join the army have arrived." Li Wu came to Guo Qi's side and said.
"There were nine hundred and thirteen, all between fifteen and seventeen years of age." Li Wu reported: "Lord Wang, where are we placed these people?" ”
"First place them in the Yongbei camp, select a person from the Qinwei Mansion to train them, and when we return to the Great Earthquake Pass, we will bring them all." Guo Qi said to Li Wuyan: "How to train without this king to teach you!" ”
"I understand the humble position, please rest assured." Li Wu smiled heartily.
After Li Wu left, Leng Yue on the side asked Guo Qi, "Lord Wang, did you really let these students join the army?" It is not easy to train these students. ”
"This king naturally knows, but the army also needs talents, this king doesn't want his army to be a bunch of mud legs, this king has a wish, that is, I hope that one day the sergeants of the Yongjun army, everyone can read and break words, as long as they can write a letter to their own family."
Hearing Guo Qi's words, Leng Yue was shocked, and even didn't believe her ears a little.
"Yue'er, the king's affairs in Yongcheng have basically been dealt with; Now that the war on the front line is about to break out, this queen will return to the front line early in the morning. Guo Qi hugged Leng Yue and said.
Leng Yue was very reluctant to snuggle up in Guo Qi's arms and said: "When you get to the front line, the prince must take care of his health, and the concubines are waiting for the prince to come back at home." ”
"The ...... of this king's return"
The time for Guo Qi to leave soon came, and for more than a day, Guo Qi pushed everything away, and spent all the time with Leng Yue, of course, the two of them also exercised in bed together, which was also a rare and leisurely time for Guo Qi.
Guo Qi under the escort of the Qinwei Mansion, with more than 900 student soldiers, left Yongcheng, after a few days of marching Guo Qi finally returned to the front line of Longdi Mountain, but this time Guo Qi did not go to the Great Earthquake Pass, but came to the Guanshan grassland, at this time the Yongjun has established a Guanshan camp in the Guanshan grassland.
"The lowly Ma Jiu (Ma Ying, Wei Ying, Hou Ji, Liu Yanzong) see the lord, the lord is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Several people saluted Guo Qi.
"Don't be polite." Guo Qi waved his hand to the generals and said, "Have you done everything that this king asked you to do before?" ”
"My lord, all the sergeants drawn from various departments have arrived, plus the hussars and cavalry of the original five provinces, a total of 30,000 horses, and they are training in several training grounds over there." Ma Jiu reported to Guo Qi.
In fact, it stands to reason that Ma Jiu should not report this matter, but the people present are the largest officials of Ma Jiu, and the others are naturally not good at reporting to Guo Qi, so they can only report to Ma Jiu.
"Okay, go ahead and get your hands dirty!" Guo Qi nodded and said.
After Ma Jiu and the others left, Guo Qi said to Li Wu: "Fifth son, bring those student soldiers to the school field for this king." ”
On the school field, Guo Qi stood on the school platform and said to more than 900 student soldiers: "Although you have joined the army now, you are still far from a qualified soldier!" If you want to become a real soldier, hard training is not enough, you must go through the battlefield tempered by blood and fire;
In order not to affect the overall combat strength of the army, this king intends to temporarily organize you into an independent government, that is, the garrison of this king, what the meaning of the word 'garrison', you know better than this king, but your current virtue is not worthy of these two words......"
