At the junction of Qinzhou and Weizhou, Dingbian Village, more than 3,000 ironclad knights rushed from Qinzhou, plus two or three thousand people in the village, and the Qinzhou army in Dingbian Village has exceeded 6,000.

There are only more than 10,000 elites under his command, and half of them have arrived at this border fortress from decades ago.

The soldiers and men who came out of Pingxia and Weizhou also gathered outside the village, and the number of them was increasing, and there were thousands of iron armors, even the box army, which also reached more than 10,000.

A big battle seems to be on the verge of breaking out, and both sides are waiting, waiting for more and more people to gather. Waiting for the arrival of their own commanders.

Zheng Zhi only arrived in Hejian yesterday, and went out of the city early this morning, after every big war, the martial arts school outside the city will report a lot of people, most of these people have just made meritorious contributions, naturally they want to add officials to the knighthood, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is indispensable to go to the martial arts academy, which is already an iron law.

If you can't graduate from the martial arts academy, even if you have been promoted for great meritorious service, you will add the word "generation" in front of your official position, acting as the head of the capital and acting as the commander.

Zheng Zhi went to lecture on the martial arts academy this time, and there was another thing, that is, this martial arts academy was going to carry out a small reform and expand three new disciplines.

One is the artillery department, Ling Zhen's "Artillery Drill Code" is becoming more and more comprehensive, and the training of gunners is becoming much simpler, and the promotion of gunners naturally needs to go to the martial arts school.

The second is the Navigation Course of the Navy, which will certainly be extremely useful in the future, and the training of naval personnel has always been a troublesome matter. From the captain to the first officer, the second officer and the third officer, the artillery commander, the navigation science, etc., they are all highly professional people. It used to be all about finding ready-made manpower, but now it is natural to need to train yourself, which also involves the supply of talent, the problem of loyalty, and the confidentiality of many things. The trained personnel also came from the good among ordinary sailors.

The last subject is the discipline of military weapons research and development, which is obviously the training of craftsmen. This is the first time in Chinese history that all craftsmen can also obtain the position of military attaché, and the likes of captains, captains, and generals have also begun to be rewarded to craftsmen, and Ling Zhen is the first to bear the brunt, and he was named General Xuanwei. There must also be an arrangement for the generals and lieutenants below. There is even a real grand ceremony.

Doing so is obviously to increase the treatment of craftsmen and increase their sense of honor. There is another important point in the establishment of this discipline. Chinese craftsmen, since ancient times there is no real professional scientific record books, the main crafts are the master to the apprentice, many crafts and techniques, a moment appeared, a time lost, so repeatedly. With this discipline, there will be more and more scientific disciplines that can be better inherited, and there will naturally be more and more professional books. This will also contribute most directly to the development of science.

These subjects are now starting in the martial arts academy, and they will be slowly separated in the future to form a military academy and a science and technology academy. This is obviously Zheng Zhi's plan for the future.

Zheng Zhi took the No. 100 knight out of the city, and the martial arts school was ten miles south of the city, a small venue. Why did you choose the location of the Martial Arts School so far?

It is also because the training needs of various subjects in the martial arts school are becoming more and more scientific. There are also many buildings among them, and the school grounds are becoming more and more detailed. Infantry yards, from the plains to the hills and jungles, also have rivers. The cavalry school yard needs a large open space. The artillery department needs to drill in depth, and the cannon hits, five miles away, two miles near, and there are fewer people, so as not to be injured by mistake. For the training of the navy, a small lake is needed, and it will probably be set up directly in the port by the sea in the future.

To meet the needs of these conditions, the site selection is naturally not close.

Along the way, Zheng Zhijun pondered on the horse, letting the horse walk along the road, thinking about the reforms that this martial arts academy needs to make in the future. I am also thinking about the future development of science, these really forward-looking strategic plans, in this era, no one can really help Zheng Zhi, only Zheng Zhi thinks about it himself.

Obviously, Zheng Zhi is not a professional, Zheng Zhi also feels a little tricky about this matter, that is, it consumes more mental power, and he thinks about anything, as long as he is free, he will implement it immediately, and he will not procrastinate. This is also the reason why Zheng Zhi stayed in Hejian Mansion for two days, instead of directly speeding to the northwest.

After walking a few miles of official road, he turned into a road that had just been built, and this road was also built extremely wide, and after six or seven miles, it led directly to the martial arts school.

On both sides of the trail, there are low forests, which are low but extremely dense. After six or seven miles, you will also enter the area of martial law, and after six or seven miles, those who do not have a passage document are not allowed to enter. Artillery and the like are extremely powerful, and even some things that are not controlled by people and injure people's lives by mistake, so it is natural to put an end to them.

The 100th person entered the new road, this road was about twenty miles long, except for the six or seven miles in and out of the place, it was the entire martial arts school.

Zheng Zhi lowered his head and pondered, the No. 100 iron riders all shook their heads and followed behind them, and the horses were not fast, so when the horses were free, they still lowered their heads and nibbled on the green grass on the side of the road, chewing non-stop in their mouths.

At the intersection, a farmer stopped under a small tree with a hoe, drank the water in the bamboo tube in his hand, and wiped the sweat from his face several times. Seeing this group of knights coming, he was not afraid, and looked up at the man who was beating the horse in front of him.

Seeing that the peasant man was stunned for a moment, then a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then he looked up carefully, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, until he saw the person on the horseback again, and made sure a few times, he immediately lowered his head and stopped looking, and he was also hiding the emotions in his heart.

The farmer who bowed his head, if he looked closely, he could even find that the man's palms were trembling. The expression after the surprise was already occupied by nervousness.

After the 100th iron armor slowly passed, this farmer got up, and he didn't even need a hoe. Running into the woods, walking through the woods. This farmer has been waiting nearby for two whole days, and when he heard that Zheng Zhi was going back to Hejian, this farmer was waiting here.

Nong Han galloped two or three miles in the forest, climbed a low hill, and crawled down to the other side with a rolling belt, the speed of his heartbeat had reached the extreme, and when he fell off this small hill, he heard him shout: "Coming, coming, the national thief Zheng Zhi is here?" ”

Look at this small hill again, a shallow mountain recess, no more than thirty or forty steps from front to back, left and right, but it is crowded with people. Most of these people carried blades, and the blades were extremely tightly wrapped in various things. They were all wearing ordinary clothes. Everyone sat on the ground in an extremely orderly manner, and if it weren't for the orderly sitting side by side, this mountain recess would not be able to accommodate these three or four hundred people.

A young man dressed in ordinary linen clothes, but with a literati's bun on his head, had already stood up, and when he heard the words, his face was overjoyed, and his voice trembled: "The emperor lived up to his wishes, I thought that the two days of waiting were probably in vain, but I didn't think that the thief really came here." ”

After saying that, the young man unwrapped the long knife in his hand and said excitedly: "Everyone, die for the country today. You will die with me, and you will change the head of the thief Xiang and my great Song Langlang. ”

The purpose of these people's lurking here is already spoken in the words. The young man's Kaifeng accent illustrates the origin of these people. If you want to assassinate Zheng Zhi, the king of Yan, where will there be a chance, these people came from Kaifeng to pieces, traveled all over Hejian Mansion, and even sent people to Yanjing.

Fang knew how difficult it was to assassinate Zheng Zhi, and he couldn't even find any opportunity. It wasn't until I heard that there was a martial arts school outside the city that I found this place and found such a place. There is no way, and I don't expect Zheng Zhi to come here, it's completely the last luck.

Maybe it was really the emperor who lived up to his wishes, but he didn't expect to wait for two days, and he really waited for the national thief Zheng Zhi!

Of these three or four hundred people, the leader was a young literati, among whom there were a few masters under the Tokyo Forbidden Army, some children of families who had suffered from the family, and some people who had received the favor of the big family. When Zheng Zhi entered Beijing, the methods were too ruthless, and these people came to take revenge, and the sea of blood was deep.

As for the people behind the organization of these people's revenge, there is no need to speculate. It was the emperor Zhao Ji who really listened to Zheng Zhi's words. Zheng Zhi told Zhao Ji in person that the so-called literati can't succeed, it is possible to die as a scholar, or Zhao Ji himself practices martial arts diligently. Zhao Ji really listened to it word for word.

The servant Zhu Mian kept leading people to see Zhao Ji, the main one of which was today's incident.

Everyone present stood up at this time, bowed their heads and unwrapped the blades in their hands, some regarded death as home, and some were so nervous that their hands were trembling. Some people were filled with righteous indignation, while others turned pale.

But it was the young man in the lead, who suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "How many people did the national thief bring with him?" ”

But it was this leading young man who only remembered this question at this time, and between the questions, his face was also worried, that is, he was afraid that there were too many people around Zheng Zhi.

The staring farmer hurriedly spoke: "There are only about a hundred people. ”

"Good, good, good, God-given opportunity, God has eyes." The young man said a few words with an excited face. He pulled out his long knife and slashed in the air with both hands, as if he couldn't hold it with one hand. After a few slashes, he looked eager to try, looked back, and shouted: "Follow me to kill the national thief!" ”

After speaking, the young man dragged a heavy long knife in one hand, and used his hands and feet together, and climbed towards the small hill. Three or four hundred people, all of them went with them.

The blades in the forest were bright and shining, reflecting the rising sun, and each blade was sharpened.
