What about the future?

Lin Dong, who was lying on the marching bed, thought silently.

As a child of a poor family, the reason why he was admitted to the army school was not because he liked it, but because it was free, and food was provided and a monthly allowance was paid.

Of course, what really attracted him?

It is possible to enter the army after graduation and get promoted in the army.

Perhaps, being a military attache was not Lin Dong's original plan, but it was enough to change his fate.

The children of the poor family have no choice!

There was no imperial examination when there was a royal examination, and after Xingqian, even more, just like Wang Mingjiu, he also did not have the right to choose, it was precisely because he had no choice that he would enter the specialized school, and after graduation, he entered the firm, and now he has been sent to Mongolia by the firm.

The children of the poor family have no choice!

Not at the time of school, and not after school.

But Lin Dong was unwilling, unwilling to take the compensation of five hundred taels of silver, and then did nothing.

There may be other options.

Lin Dong secretly thought in his heart. For example, he could go to Nanyang, to any of the feudal states, where he could continue to serve in the army, and he believed that he could be appointed in the army there. But are you really going there?

The relationship between those feudal vassals and the Ming Dynasty was a relationship between the suzerain-feudal state, and he might have been appointed there, but he still left his homeland and went overseas.

What about Nanyang?

He shrank back.

It's too far!

In fact, as a soldier, he may also be sent to the South Seas, and even to the north, to the icy Heihe Governorate, perhaps, he will lead an expedition there, continue to the north, to the ice and snow of the Arctic, to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the north.

He will become an explorer, who knows?

Just like the seniors who graduated two years ago, some of them were sent to the north one after another, leading the expedition team to explore the unknown side mirror and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty. Even though it was just a wasteland, with only a few wild people and forests, nothing but ice and snow. But they still became heroes.

As for the South Seas!

It may be a choice, and Lin Dong knows that among his classmates, there will be many people who choose there, and even the representatives of the Nanyang countries have recently begun to move, they also need officers, the war between them and the natives has never stopped, and the need for officers has never been satisfied.

As long as they go to Nanyang, they can become the "scholars" of Nanyang Zhuxia, obtain their own fiefs and slaves, of course, their reward is to use the sword in their hands to open up territory for the kings, to suppress the barbarians and appease them, and to use the sword in their hands to educate the barbarians and make them give up barbarism.

In the process, they will change their destiny and become the heroes and nobles of that country, and from then on, their families will be tied to the state.

But...... He didn't want to go to Nanyang, not that Lin Dong couldn't see the good way to go there, or that he felt that it was too far away, but because he felt that kind of place belonged to Zhuxia, not Daming.

"The reputation of the Shanxi people in Daming is not good, and those families have ruined the reputation of the Shanxi people......"

This was the reason why Lin Dong was reluctant to go to Nanyang, he hoped to gain a reputation as a "Ming man", and when he returned with honor, the newspapers would mention him as a "Shanxi man".

But now?

Lin Dong knew that he no longer had such an opportunity.

Perhaps, later he will become a businessman.

Take the five hundred taels of silver and go to business.

Maybe you can go to Heihe, where there is also a need for officers? He was not an official officer, but he was also the head of the militia, and perhaps he could join an expedition there......

Finally, Lin Dong got up from the bed, if he didn't get up again, he would miss lunch, and when the time came, he would have to pay for it to eat out, as prospective graduates, their lives were free, and the school turned a blind eye to them.

After washing, looking at the tent on the training ground, Lin Dong sighed again.

It's over!

Soon, I'll be leaving here.

Lin Dong's heart was full of all kinds of tastes.

Looking at a few alumni in the distance calling for friends to go out, they are going to celebrate being able to stay in the army! Looking at them, Lin Dong even thought with sourness that perhaps, some of them would join the expedition and plant a Ming banner in the ice and snow in the extreme north, in a place where no one had ever been, and announce the Ming Dynasty's rule there.

He knew in his heart what that kind of risk would cost – it was fraught with danger. However, it is also full of honor, in the school, there is a pencil drawing, clearly recording the picture of that, it is a piece of ice and snow that Ming people have never walked on. A group of soldiers erected a boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty in the trees there, marking the occupation of the end of the land by the Ming Dynasty.

"We have already reached the ice sea in the north, and further north, there is the sea, what else can we explore?"

Lin Dong began to comfort himself.

"Anyway, it's already been explored by others, even if you pass, it's useless, isn't it?"

The expedition to the unknown is a kind of staff trip, which is why the school has organized graduates to go in the past two years, for the graduates, it is not only to test their learning, but also to face some dangers, and in the end, they will grow in the process of exploration.

"Okay, that's it!"

Take a deep breath. After his mood calmed down, Lin Dong opened the newspaper again, and in the newspaper, he could see that people were describing the voyage to America with enthusiastic words.

Nonsense!

Although he tried his best to describe the fertile land, Lin Dong felt that it was just nonsense, but the core content was very simple - it was a borderless land, and a group of barbaric and uncivilized natives lived.

Nothing else.

After Daming arrives there, what kind of paradise will he build?

Who knows?

Maybe even those central ministers in the court don't know.

But what is certain is that after the Ming Dynasty enters there, it will face a series of problems, and the laborious construction is naturally inevitable.

The Ming Society built a city there and reclaimed the fields. Immigrants would enter America and, like the Spaniards, would establish their rule there. Of course, in this process, there are other bad things that will happen, those aborigines, those indigenous people, they will attack the immigrants like demons, their task is to kill the immigrants, and even eat the meat of the immigrants, and the whole family of the indigenous people will eat the immigrants in one bite, and then make cups out of the skulls of the immigrants.

This is not illusory, there are both headhunters and cannibals in the South Seas.

The settlers' guns may be able to repel them, but it will take time to establish a solid rule.

In the South Seas, all this will happen, and in America, it will happen as well.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Dong put a cup of lukewarm tea in his hand, he put down the newspaper in his hand, and again, he sat there without saying a word.

"What about going to America?"

Suddenly, as if Lin Dong thought of something, he stood up suddenly.

"If you go to America, maybe there is...... Opportunity. ”

"To America."

It was here that Li Ping, who had just entered the tent, heard Lin Dong's words, he also failed to get into the ranking of staying in the army, his plan was to return to his hometown in Heilongjiang, maybe he would enter the government there, who knows?

"Where are you going?"

"That's right!"

Nodding, Lin Dong said with some excitement.

"There's always a need for soldiers."

"But there's nothing there?"

"It's because there's nothing that we need soldiers."

Lin Dong had already sat down again, he took a deep breath, and then said.

"I'm sure it's impossible for the army to pass by many, and the authorities definitely need officers."

Glancing at Li Ping, Lin Dong said again.

"You know, there's a lot of murderous savages."

Hearing him say this, Li Ping thought for a while, and then said.

"Are you so sure?"

Lin Dong looked at his friend, his breathing seemed very calm, but he seemed a little excited in the calm.

"I'm not sure, but you know, we still don't know anything about it, and maybe, they'll send an expedition too!"

That's right, they will definitely send expeditions deep inland, after all, the Ming can't just be satisfied with the coast.

"We're definitely going to venture into the heart of America, so there's definitely a place for us."

"That's right!"

Just as Lin Dong's words fell, a voice came from the entrance of the tent, and following the sound, Lin Dong saw the instructor, and he walked in. As an instructor, he was young, smiling and wearing a white shirt.

"Hello, Instructor Fang."

Lin Dong and Li Ping stood up and saluted.

"What? Don't whine anymore? ”

Although Fang Zidong is an instructor, he is also a minister, he once fought Jiangyin with His Majesty, and now, he teaches at the military academy.

"Yesterday, the student Meng Lang was punished, please ask the instructor to punish him."

Suddenly straightened his waist, Lin Dongli was standing there, looking like he was waiting for punishment.

"What's there to be punished."

Fang Zidong looked at him and said.

"As you know, we have just reached out to Ameria now, and in the future, we will definitely have to go deep into America, and we will definitely have to migrate there in large numbers, which will require sending expeditions inland, but the current situation in the country, there are no surplus manpower in the country at the moment, so ......"

After a pause, Fang Zidong said.

"You can volunteer to go to America, of course, as soldiers, would you like to go?"
