Chapter 30: Choice

"The bunnies outside have no place to vent their energy and are fighting."

There was a shout outside, and the people in the library, who had been quiet, immediately stirred.

Wang Tang dropped the book and complained: "The old man who reads this book is dizzy, go and watch the little rabbit cubs fight." Who goes? ”

And they all threw away their books as he did. "Grandma's, leave it to fate."

A shrill voice said slowly: "Wang Tang, Guo Ang, Yuan Zhen, the three of them don't cherish the books, and they will be fined a silver dollar." ”

This time provoked everyone to immediately burst into laughter.

The old eunuch sitting at the door still said unhurriedly: "Please don't make noise in the library, otherwise you will be fined!" ”

Everyone immediately shut their mouths again, and no one would be able to get along with the money in their pockets.

Wang Tang and Yuan Zhen disagreed, Yuan Zhen is now the Marquis of Guangping, and the power of the family has gradually been handed over to his father Yuan Rong.

And Wang Tang was because his father guarded the Xuanfu, and he brought a few retinues to live in the capital, and the degree of freedom was relatively large.

Only Guo Ang's grandfather Cheng An Hou Guo Liang is still alive, and the family is huge. His father Guo Sheng is also a martial artist, and he pays attention to filial piety under the stick, although he will not be short of his use, but he will not give him too much pocket money.

He only had three silver coins a month, and he handed in one at once, which was enough for him to feel distressed.

Wang Tang and Yuan Zhen each took out their money bags, handed a silver coin to the old eunuch at the door of the room, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Liu, you don't need to record it in the monthly book, right?" ”

The old eunuch nodded and said, "It's just a whim, it's not intentional, and it doesn't need to be recorded in the monthly book." ”

Guo Ang touched his body, and only took out a few copper coins that were fifty. He begged the old eunuch for mercy: "Grandpa Liu, you see that I am shy in my pocket, so it is better to replace punishment with labor." ”

The old eunuch nodded and said, "Then go and pick up half a month's worth of dung, and you don't need to be fined." ”

Everyone laughed again, only Guo Ang hesitated for a long time with a sad face, and turned around to ask Yuan Zhen for help. "Marquis Guangping, you are old and rich, lend me a silver coin first, and I will pay you back tomorrow."

Yuan Zhen smiled and took out a silver coin and handed it to the old eunuch for him. "I thought you could choose to pick up the dung, and I'd be willing to spend a few more silver coins for this spectacle."

"Fuck off......." Guo Ang punched Yuan Zhen in the stomach, and said stiffly: "How can I compete with those civilian children!" ”

Yang Dao laughed and said, "I saw that you were quite moved just now, and almost agreed." ”

Zhao Yi, a classmate from an orphan, said: "The Hou family has no surplus food!" ”

Everyone came out of the library, and then they laughed insolently.

Guo Ang can be presumptuous to Yuan Zhen, but he is much more polite to the children of the poor family who were originally opponents and are now comrades-in-arms.

He pretended to be vicious and wrapped his arms around Zhao Yi's neck. "You kid pray that you don't get under my hands, otherwise, I'll let you pick up the dung once a year in the future."

Everyone came to the martial arts arena and saw that nearly 100 people had gathered on the artificial hillside, and the two sides were tense, and a big battle was about to break out.

Yulin Weixue is martial arts, so naturally he can't help fighting.

As long as you don't use weapons and don't hit deadly positions, whether it's wrestling or competing, you can use it within the scope of the rules.

The number of orphans in Weixue is about the same as Xungui, and in terms of force, Xungui's children are slightly ahead, but when Wenbi, Xungui's children have no advantage.

They came from a wealthy background and had a good foundation since childhood. But because of the high starting point, naturally there is no enough motivation for the orphans to learn.

The powerful Wang Tang walked in the front and couldn't help laughing loudly: "When I saw them, I remembered our stupid appearance a few years ago. Let's fight, let's fight, the harder you fight, the more you will feel close in the future. ”

Wu Keqin kicked him from behind and said with a smile: "Do you think anyone can be like us, this group of little grasshoppers still has to go through some experience." ”

Yuan Zhen likes to act as the center of everyone everywhere, and at this time he laughed and said: "Do you think everyone is like you two metamorphoses!" ”

Wang Tang and Wu Keqin are definitely the strongest in the young army in terms of force, and Wang Tang's grandfather Wang Cong is a fierce general in Zhu Di's army, and he won the title of Wucheng Hou by relying on his military exploits.

The three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren are all wide and long, and outsiders can't fake them if they want to.

Because his body is as wide as a door panel, his neck is very short, and he has a pair of long arms, and he still practices the family long-arm boxing, which makes him always far ahead in terms of personal force value in Yulin Weixue.

Wu Keqin is a native of Mengyuan, and his father Wu Yuncheng was originally named Timur, and his official was Pingzhang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In the third year of Yongle, Wu Yuncheng and his fellow party Lun Duer Gray led his wife and children, as well as 5,000 tribes and 16,000 horses and camels, and were recruited by Song Sheng to join the Ming Dynasty.

Because many Mongols have the same name, Zhu Di gave them Han names to distinguish them. Shangshu Liu Jun asked them to be organized into a team dispatched by Kanhe (Fuqi) according to the practice of the Hongwu period. So Timur was given the name Wu Yuncheng.

At that time, Wu Yuncheng's two sons were adults, and the youngest son was only three years old, so he named his younger son Wu Keqin according to his own name.

Wu Keqin grew up in Gansu as a child, and Yongle entered Beijing with the Western Regions Mission in the thirteenth year, and has remained in the capital ever since.

His father, Wu Yuncheng, fought bravely and made great achievements during the two northern expeditions, and he killed the Mengyuan people, who were more ruthless than the Han people.

What's more, his attachment made many small tribes of Mengyuan start to learn, more and more people surrendered, and the border became more and more peaceful, which all started with Wu Yuncheng.

Therefore, Zhu Di authorized Wu Keqin to enter Yulin Weixue as a reward.

He and Wang Tang can be said to be the double pride of Yulin Weixue's generation, the force value of the two is high, and the sons of Xun Gui have the upper hand in the past few years, and the role of the two of them accounts for most of them.

At this time, a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, under the arrangement of teaching, had already decided on the way of fighting, which was everyone's favorite big fight, as long as they didn't leave people seriously injured, they could shoot casually.

Yuan Zhen saw a group of powerful high-level teachers watching a group of children make trouble with a lively mentality, and couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, we hated this group of teachers who liked to make things out of nothing, but now we have become such people." ”

Wang Tang nodded and said, "If it weren't for the reluctance to give up the money, I would have wanted to beat up this gang of teachings." But when we grew up, they all left. During the Chinese New Year, I also met Xiong Kui who had taught us at the Confucius Temple, and I hated him the most when I was a child, but this time I saw him, and I also had a sense of intimacy, so I invited him to have a meal in the restaurant. ”

Guo Ang was close to him and said with a smile: "You are a cheap bone, and you are addicted to beatings." ”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, "No, it's because we've all become the same people. ”

Yuan Zhen nodded, and said gracefully: "Yes, when I really went to the battlefield, I realized that it was still talents like us who are the most trustworthy." ”

At this time, Yuan Zhen saw that a half-year-old child not only did not start to undress and prepare for battle, but ran to the mountains and forests on the other side of the playground crying.

He said strangely, "What's going on?" What is this little guy crying about? ”

Everyone recognized that this was Ergouzi who entered Yulin Weixue four years later than them, not because Ergouzi was charming, but because he had a good master, Yang Zhangde.

Because Yang Dao and Yang Zhangde are both from Jiangxi, and both are surnamed Yang, the two of them have had a conversation. When he came back this year, he also went to Yang Zhangde's house to pay New Year's greetings, and the two maintained friendly contact.

He had also seen Ergouzi, and he liked this little guy very much, so he said, "I'll ask him what's going on." ”

On the other side, a group of little ones had already taken off their coats and started fighting. It looks quite hot-blooded, but in front of a group of high-level cadet soldiers who have been on the battlefield, this kind of fight can only be regarded as bloody.

Now there are senior cadet soldiers who act as instructors, stopping them when they are hot, and they are not afraid of really breaking people.

Yang Dao bypassed the battlefield and came to the mountains and forests in the north, where he saw Ergouzi punching and kicking a tree.

"You have a lot of energy, why don't you fight on the playground and hide here alone?"

Ergouzi turned around and saw that there were still teardrops on his face, and he hurriedly wiped away his tears embarrassedly. Although Yang Dao was only a few years older than him, he had a relationship with his master, and he respectfully shouted, "Uncle Yang Shi." ”

"This is in Yulin Weixue, just call me senior brother. Why did you run away alone when the war started? ”

The second dog was a little embarrassed and a little aggrieved. "They don't want me ......"

After just a little thought, Yang Dao figured out the doorway here.

Although Ergouzi was born poor, he entered Yulin Weixue through Yang Zhangde's relationship, and he can be regarded as a noble son.

But his identity is very embarrassing, Xungui's children will not really agree with him as a Jinyiwei relationship, and the orphan group will not think that he is with them all the way, so it led to this situation.

Yang Dao smiled, stepped forward and patted him on the head and said, "This shows that you didn't do well enough before." ”

Ergouzi said aggrievedly: "In the face of the noble children, I will do everything possible to please them, and in the face of the poor children, I will also take good care of them." In terms of academics, I am always at the top, and in terms of force, few of them are my opponents, am I not doing well? ”

Yang Dao shook his head and said: "What you think is good is not good, but it makes both sides hate you even more, thinking that you are the grass on the wall, and the wind blows on both sides." ”

Ergouzi was a little stunned, but he quickly came to his senses, and bowed and said, "I still hope that my senior brother will teach me." ”

Yang Dao smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and walked out of the mountain forest, their position was halfway up the hill, and they could clearly see the hundred-person melee in the distance. "You say, why does His Royal Highness Taisun deliberately want to establish opposing classes in Weixue?"

Ergouzi shook his head, with his experience, of course, he didn't understand the meaning behind this.

Yang Dao said affirmatively: "This is His Royal Highness's deliberate attempt to let us see our position clearly, the sons of the nobles, we must have a sense of honor in the family, most of the poor children are orphans whose fathers and brothers died in battle, and everything can only rely on themselves, so if you want to come out, you must be ruthless to yourself."

Only when the two groups are compared will there be competition, and only when there is competition will there be progress. Now that you are still in the learning stage, this kind of competition can promote your progress and allow you to see the nature of society. ”

Ergouzi asked suspiciously, "Isn't Your Highness afraid that we will be opposed forever?" ”

Yang Dao shook his head with a smile and said, "When you really go to the battlefield, let's say this sentence again!" At that time, you will understand what a comrade-in-arms is. Let alone...... Your Highness doesn't want us to be at odds all the time. ”

Ergouzi asked, "Senior brother, what should I do then?" ”

"Choose a side, you can't please both sides, and firmly choose one side. Since you are highly armed and knowledgeable, they are actually jealous of you, but they are also willing to accept you as a strong man. ”

Compared with the easy choice of Ergouzi, Huang Yuan is also facing a difficult choice at this time.

Because this choice will be the biggest choice on his life path, and it will also directly affect his life.

Having a good father is Huang Yuan's greatest treasure.

Huang Fu is shrewd and capable, whether it is in the Ministry of Industry or in the dispatch of the march, he has an execution ability that ordinary literati cannot compare.

Huang Yuan has been nurtured by his father since he was a child, and he is smart and steady, and he has also shown very good ability in this regard.

Therefore, after he came to the capital, he was quickly valued by Zhu Zhanji and Liu Jiang, the governor of the navy, and became the most outstanding reserve general of the navy.

During Zhu Zhanji's voyage to the West, he was responsible for the dispatch of materials for the entire fleet and handled them in an orderly manner. Whatever came his way, it was easy.

There is no shortage of generals who can march and fight, but there are few generals like him. This also made him valued by various armies, and now the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has invested a lot of money to transfer him from the Navy to the Army.

His father, Huang Fu, is now the secretary of the military department, responsible for the logistics of His Majesty's expedition to the west. And he also knows very well that in the next two or three years, the navy will not make any big moves, and the army will not be able to help his father and participate in this western expedition.

His Royal Highness said that whether it is in the army or the navy, he is serving the Ming Dynasty.

But if he goes to the army, he will inevitably be ashamed of Liu Jiang, the governor who has always promoted him.

At the same time, he also knew that the main development direction of the Ming Dynasty in the future was the navy.

Although in recent years, because of the Western Expedition, the center of gravity of the battlefield will be in the army. But when the Timurid State is pacified and the northwestern countries are annexed, the Ming Dynasty will begin to focus on the development of the navy and turn the ownerless land under the world into the Ming Dynasty.

Going to the army is a big role in the short term, and in the navy is good for long-term development.

It doesn't seem like a difficult choice, but my father hasn't returned home for two years because of the westward expedition. How could he bear to hide in the capital and enjoy happiness instead of working for his father?

In contrast, the guerrilla position promised by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies could not make Huang Yuan's heart move.

He knew very well that even if he was in the navy, after this commendation order, he would at least be promoted to one level and become a commander, and he might even be directly promoted to a commander.

In the next five years, he will have the confidence to rise to the post of guerrilla.

Different choices will directly affect his life.

Is it the Navy or the Army......
