Chapter 44: One Nation, One Leader
"Everybody is afraid of death, and I believe this should be an emotion that normal people have. But on the battlefield, we can't stop doing what we should do because we are afraid of death, which is greed for life and fear of death. It is precisely because we are afraid of death that we love life, and if our lives can be exchanged for national rejuvenation and in exchange for more Chinese no longer facing death, then we should face such death calmly. The sages have clouds, and people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Dying for the country and the people can be called heavier than Mount Tai. ”
"In this military academy in the new era, we will learn the infantry's codes, models, orders and tactics, weapons, terrain, transportation, etc., and master the main military subjects from individual soldier training to command teams, flags, and divisions. In addition, it is necessary to study books such as "We Fight for the Nation," "The Impact of New Weapons on Modern Warfare," and "The Current Situation of Political Economy in China and the World." Don't think that you just want to be a captain, flag commander, or battalion commander, just lead them to the front, that's not enough. In the future, we will have to fight far away from our homeland, where the situation is far more complicated than in Liaodong, and if you don't have enough knowledge, you won't even know who your enemies are and who your friends are, and then you will be really troublesome. ”
"You are the first phase of the martial arts hall, and the officers who come out of the martial arts hall in the future are all one or several levels lower than you. When you meet in the army, you should say hello first, I am from the third phase of the martial arts, you can immediately shout, I am from the first phase of the martial arts, then others should stand upright, salute, and be a good senior. What a shameful thing that is. ”
Everyone listened to what the emperor said interestingly, and the first trace of nervousness disappeared and laughed together.
Zhu Youxiao also smiled and said, "But this is also a bad case." If you are cowardly in battle, or if you don't listen to orders and make mistakes, others will say it in a different tone, you see him, he still talks about the first phase of Wutang, but it is really a shame to talk about Wutang, and this is not good. ”
"On the basis of the original, we have formulated a new military law, and the new military law is also something that you must learn. We will set up special military tribunals to deal with violations of military law. There is no problem with civilians doing one thing, but there is a problem with soldiers doing it, and that is because we have more responsibilities and honors than civilians. ”
Sun Chuanting took the lead and began to applaud, and the students also learned to applaud together, and the applause became louder and louder, and soon resounded throughout the auditorium, startling the birds on the trees outside the auditorium to scatter in all directions.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and pressed his hand down, and the applause slowly subsided. He said: "I believe that my army is invincible and invincible, and it is the guardian that our country and our nation can always rely on. ”
This time, without Sun Chuanting taking the lead, the students spontaneously began to applaud, Zhu Youxiao smiled, and then saluted a military salute, the applause stopped abruptly, and the students raised their hands and saluted together. Zhu Youxiao withdrew his hand, waved it, and walked backstage.
After Sun Chuanting waited for the emperor to walk into the backstage, he walked to the front of the stage and said, "Hello everyone! I am Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and I am also the deputy chief of the martial arts. Just now, His Majesty the Emperor gave you a speech at the opening of the school, explaining your honors, responsibilities, and requirements clearly. What I'm going to talk about today is a nation, a leader. ”
The word leader, first from the Book of Jin, refers to being an example. And then by extension, it refers to the leader. What I want to emphasize is that there is only one leader of the Ming army, that is, our Emperor Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor wants us to advance, so whether it is a sword mountain or a sea of fire, whether it is deep water or fiery, we should rush forward without hesitation. ”
"We have only one leader, and there will always be only one, loyal to the country, loyal to the nation, first of all, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, because His Majesty the Emperor represents the country and leads the country, because His Majesty the Emperor is the patriarch of the Han nationality in the world, and the mentor who guides us in the direction of progress."
"Although our Emperor is not very old, you are all bright-eyed people, and you can see how great changes have taken place in our country since His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne. We have now completely taken the initiative in the war against Jiannu, and the crushing defeat of Sarhu can no longer happen to us; The Japanese have been harming our maritime frontier for more than 100 years, and now we have occupied the birthplace of the Japanese so that the Japanese can only submit to our bayonets; The red hairs of the south can only do business with us in a regular manner, and do not dare to lose a penny of tax silver; How are these done? It's because of the strong Guards. And the entire Guards Army was established under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, from the military system to weapons, from regulations to conduct, there are the efforts and attention of His Majesty the Emperor, so to speak, the founder of the Guards is our great Emperor Majesty. ”
"And everyone around us should deeply understand that we have enough food to eat, the variety of dishes on our dinner table has increased, and the number of cattle and horses we have cultivated the fields has increased, which has greatly reduced the burden on the peasants. The cement road is better than the loess road, when the wind blows, you can no longer see the dust, the glass window is better than the window paper, and the light and shadow, and the wind does not blow, the fingers are not messy. And all of this was researched and manufactured by His Majesty the Emperor. I am the Ming Dynasty, and I have produced such an emperor in China, which is the luck of our country and our nation. We must obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, never doubt it, and never hold back. This is much more important than the tactics and martial arts you are going to learn, or rather, this is the premise of all this. ”
"As long as we do this, in battle, you will think that His Majesty the Emperor has invented for us weapons far superior to those of the enemy, so that we can win the battle without sacrificing a large number of brothers; In life, you will think of His Majesty the Emperor guiding the peasants to produce more food, make more goods, and make our lives more convenient; We will find that we have an invincible commander, and we are the invincible Guard. ”
One of the cadets stood up suddenly, raised his fist and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor." ”
Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, and under the drive of this person, more students also stood up and shouted after him: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Hearing this deafening long live sound in the background, Wei Zhongxian said sourly: "This Sun Chuanting seems to be more loyal than a slave. ”
