Compared with the general training of grassroots officers of the Chu army, selecting outstanding soldiers in each army corps from scratch and cultivating them into a qualified reserve of grassroots generals is undoubtedly a more important function of the Great Chu Military Academy.

Of course, after participating in the training of the martial arts academy, it is obviously impossible to become an officer when you come out.

After all, at this time, military merit is also the most important indicator of the promotion of non-commissioned officers in the Chu army.

However, a soldier sent by the academy who participated in the training of the martial arts academy undoubtedly has more opportunities than ordinary soldiers, and the possibility of promotion is undoubtedly greater.

Therefore, when the martial arts students were recruited again in this legion, the soldiers and soldiers who were vying to sign up were really like carp crossing the river.

However, after all, it is to train reserve grassroots generals, and in addition to the scale limitations and experience of the martial arts academy. So this year, there are only a hundred places for each legion. Added up to the eight legions, the first official martial arts students were only 800 people.

But for these 800 people, Zhang Shihua seemed to attach great importance to them, and even in early September, when the martial arts academy opened again. As the king of Chu, Zhang Shihua also personally attended the ceremony and gave cordial greetings and encouragement to the first batch of martial arts students.

At this time, a full twenty-two rules were officially set for the Great Chu Martial Academy. Both: unconditional execution; There are no excuses for work; The devil is in the details; follow the example of the chief; Philosophy first; Automatic spontaneous; Immediate action, etc. (Note 1).

Subsequently, the motto of the academy was set, namely: loyalty, patriotism, discipline, integrity, bravery, strictness, punctuality, and responsibility, 16 words.

And in the end, he also left a couplet of Mr. Sun in the later generations in front of the gate of the martial arts academy, namely: Promote and make a fortune, please go elsewhere; Greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door. Horizontal criticism: loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

And Zhang Shihua's move undoubtedly made the status of the new department of the Martial Arts Academy greatly improved among the many yamen of Dachu.

It can even be juxtaposed with the small Guozijian established by Zhang Shihua in Jiangling City after becoming the queen.

And this also made a few years later, the Great Chu State Eunuch was gradually nicknamed the Academy of Literature by the people. So the people of the world couldn't help but say: "In the Great Chu, the two houses are parallel. ”

But to be honest, after Zhang Shihua came back from the Martial Academy, he didn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the Martial Academy.

Because at this time, after a long October pregnancy, Queen Guo Weier gave birth again on the tenth day of the ninth month.

To be honest, this is Guo Weier's second child, so there is almost no chance of accidents.

But on this day, Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the side hall and waiting, faintly listened to his wife's moaning. He is already a father of three children, and he is still a king, but it is still difficult to sit down at this time.

From time to time, he stood up and paced in the room, although his face was like water, although he did not show much anxious look, but the frequent looking back and pacing still revealed his true mood at this time.

"Ahem~ You kid, don't worry. There is the best midwife in Gangneung City in the delivery room, and Wei'er is not the first child, so it's okay. Seeing that his son looked like he was restless, Zhang Liewu, who had not been in good health since the beginning of the New Year, couldn't help but wave his hand after coughing twice.

Hearing his father's words, Zhang Shihua, who was a little anxious in his heart, didn't say anything else after taking a deep breath, but just sat on the seat with his robe on, and his eyes looked in the direction of the delivery room from time to time.

"Father, father. The queen mother, the queen mother's voice is so terrible now, is the queen mother sick, let's go into the house to see if the queen mother is okay? Just sat down in his robe, Zhang Shihua's sister-in-law Zhang Xi couldn't help but run into the house with an anxious face at this time.

Seeing Zhang Shihua sitting there in a flirtatious robe, he couldn't help but hurriedly pull Zhang Shihua's arm and said this.

"Xi'er, don't worry, your mother is not sick, and your mother is now giving birth to your little brother/little sister, and it will be fine in a while." hugged his three-and-a-half-year-old son into his arms and comforted him, but Zhang Shihua's originally anxious heart was also relieved a lot at this time.

As for his sister-in-law Zhang Xi.

After being comforted by his father in his arms, the little one was no longer so anxious and afraid.

After all, before the first time, his two aunts also gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister for him. So it's not the first time this little guy has encountered something like this at home.

So after that, he couldn't help but wait obediently in the room with his father and grandfather.

Then, when the little guy who was waiting wanted to sleep again, a faint cry came from the delivery room.

"Great, your mother gave birth to a baby without any problems. Xi'er, let's go. The little guy who wanted to sleep with a muddy head couldn't react at this time, and the happy father picked him up and walked out of the room quickly.

And when he got out of the room, he was put on the ground by his father, and as soon as the warm autumn breeze blew outside, the little one became sober.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly caught up with his father's footsteps at this time.

Then, when he came to the door of his mother's room, he couldn't help but see a strange old woman in her forties, who was holding a swaddling baby with a smile on her face, and said to her father: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, mother and daughter are safe, mother and daughter are safe!" ”

"Haha, good, good, great." Hearing the old woman's words, my father undoubtedly seemed very happy.

After happily taking the swaddling clothes from the old woman's hands, the parents couldn't help but say to the old woman happily: "Hard old woman." Accept grace, take people down to receive the reward, and receive the double reward. ”

"Hey, thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward......" The old woman with a smile on her face, after saying a lot of auspicious words that made Zhang Xidu a little confused, she couldn't help but be happily treated by Liao Chengen, the head of the palace.

And at this time, the little guy finally reacted.

He knew that the baby who was crying in the swaddling clothes should be his sister. So he couldn't help but come to his grandmother's side, pulling the clothes of his grandmother, who had just taken over his sister's clothes from his father's hands, and said curiously: "Grandma, let me see my sister too, okay." Let me see my sister too? ”

"Okay, let Xiao Xi'er take a look too." At this time, his grandfather, who was smiling all over his face, picked him up from the ground at once.

Then he couldn't help but hear in his grandfather's arms, "Come, Xi'er." Look, this is your little sister, Kiki. ”

"Kiki!?" I read my little sister's name again.

Then Zhang Xi stretched out his head to look at his new little sister, but he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Father, sister, how is she wrinkled. It's not beautiful at all, and she's not as good-looking as Qin'er. The little guy said truthfully, children of this age still don't know how to be polite and hypocritical.

But hearing him say this, everyone around couldn't help but laugh.

"You stinky boy. Sister, she has just come out of your mother's belly, and the skin on her face has not yet grown, so she looks wrinkled. You and Qin'er Ji'er were like this when they were just born, and in two days, my sister will be beautiful. ”

Zhang Shihua touched his son's head and explained with a smile.

"That sister must grow up quickly, and when the time comes, I will take my sister to play with Qin'er and Ji'er." The little guy clapped his palms happily, and he didn't resist having a sister again.

Then the father and son took the newborn little Zhang Qi to the delivery room, and after seeing Guo Weier, who was a little weak because of the birth, the family couldn't help but seem happy at this time.

However, it was said that when Zhang Shihua and his family were happy and enjoying the rare family fun of this era.

At this time, on the river [] Nanfu Road, which is located in the northwest of Nanyang Mansion, the battle does not stop for a moment.

At the beginning of this month, Liu Futong's main western forces, Li Wu and Cui De, finally captured a rare fighter plane after a long collision with the Yuan court army on the Nanfu Road of He, and thus conquered the army led by Shu Lujie, the governor of Henan Province, and killed the political master near Tongguan.

In this way, Tongguan could not help but become the territory of the Red Turban Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, because the strategic position of Tongguan is too important. Therefore, on the second day after the death of Shu Lujie, the king of Yu, Aratna, and the Privy Council of Tongzhi couldn't help but immediately lead the army under his command and recapture Tongguan from Li Wu and Cui De with great effort.

and ordered the new Pingzhang political affairs Bojianu to guard here (the original Pingzhang political affairs lost Badulu because of the battle with Liu Futong not long ago and won with a surprise army, and he couldn't help but be promoted again, and now he is the golden purple Guanglu doctor of the first product of the opening of the palace and the three divisions).

But I didn't expect that the Bo Jia slave was a complete waste,

After guarding Tongguan Town for a few days, he was defeated again by Li Wucuide and his two with a surprise attack, so frightened that he fled without even letting the army go.

Therefore, in order to obtain Tongguan again, the rare soldier in the Yuan court, the prince of Yu, Aratna, could not help but lead the army again and struck away Li Wu and Cui De, who occupied Tongguan.

And in order to prevent Li Wu and Cui De from attacking Tongguan City again endlessly, they couldn't help but let Chakhan Timur, who performed extremely well on the Lianghuai battlefield and the Central Plains battlefield, lead the headquarters army to directly attack Li Wu and Cui De's lair.

That is, the two places of Shaanzhou and Yuzhou on the Nanfu Road.

And the result, don't really say. Facing this first general at the end of the Yuan Dynasty who was lamented by Zhu Yuanzhang after his death, "There will be no more heroes in the world", Li Wu and Cui De are not enough to see even if they are tied together.

Anyway, I don't know how this guy Chakhan Timur led the soldiers.

The soldiers under him simply used their endurance to the extreme. Not to mention that the foot soldiers can still go into battle after marching a hundred miles in a day, they can still fight with Li Wutride's coalition army, from sunrise to sunset, and the soldiers under the tent can still maintain the battle formation.

Therefore, after only three days of fighting between the two sides, Li Wu and Cui De lost their nest cleanly.

Then, Li Wu and Cui De couldn't help but be completely targeted by Chakhan Timur. Even when the two of them crossed the Yellow River and ran to the northbound province of the river, Chakhan Timur was not ready to let them go.

It wasn't until their troops were defeated again in the two cities of Pinglu and Anyi that they let go of these two unlucky bastards who only had three or five hundred soldiers and horses left in their hands.

Because these two unlucky people had already fled south in early October, they fled to Nanyang Mansion, the territory of Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu in the Great Song Dynasty.

……

"Lao Cui, you said that this Chu army will not do anything to us at this time." In the middle of Ruzhou City at the northern end of Nanyang Province. Although the city was released by the soldiers of the Chu army who defended the city, there was a decent place to eat and live. But after a series of defeats, Li Wu, the red scarf warrior who was originally ambitious, now has no sense of security.

However, compared to him, the black-faced man Cui De is not so suspicious, "Lao Li, you think too much." If a month ago, when our brothers had soldiers, horses, money and food, people would be angry and hurt our brothers, it would be a reason.

But now, we have what we have in our hands. Hmph, the pocket is cleaner than the face, not to mention. Even the group of brothers under our hands, in order to escape for their lives, in addition to the steel knife in their hands for eating, they did not lose anything, and the others who could be lost were also lost.

People harm us, what do people want. Just these two pounds of meat on your neck and me!? ”

"Uh, hehe, too." Hearing his old brother say this, Li Wu's restless mood calmed down a little.

However, because he had been confined by the Chu army in this small military camp, after two more days, Li Wu couldn't help but become more and more irritable.

"Hey, I said. It's been four days since we came to this Ruzhou City, and Marshal Zhou Tiezhou on the other side of Xiangcheng should also know and believe it. Why is there no reaction at all at this time! He paced anxiously around the room, but was disturbed by the smell of being under the fence.

At this time, Li Wu is like this, and Cui De's side is not much worse at this time.

After all, under the fence, he was kept in captivity like this, and if he wanted to say that he was not anxious, it was obviously an impossible thing.

It's just that compared to Li Wu, Cui De is more stable and didn't say these words.

But fortunately, on the fifth day of their arrival to fight Ruzhou City, that is, on the sixth day of the tenth month of the sixteenth year of Zhizheng. A heavily armed Chu soldier finally took the initiative to find them when it was not time to eat, and informed them that someone was going to meet them.

So after hearing such a thing that made them think for a long time, these two people didn't say a word, and they followed the Chu army soldier and left this small camp to meet the Chu army bigwig who was finally going to meet them.
