Chapter 455: A crash course in military school
In an ordinary dormitory in the middle of the military academy, Zhao Zuoxing, a cadet who is about to graduate, touched his bed with some sadness, he slept on this bed for two years, and here he learned that he couldn't think of knowing before, and he also got to know a lot of brothers who were like each other, and now he is leaving, which makes him really reluctant.
Zhao Zuoxing was originally a small officer in the Ningxia border army, because of his brave combat and repeated military exploits, plus he was literate and hyphenated, so he was recommended by the Ningxia General Army to study in the crash course in the military academy.
After all, the cadets in the military academy cannot all be the children of the generals' families, and in addition, it is necessary to recruit some outstanding officers and soldiers into the military academy, first, to encourage the military officers and men, and second, to ensure the diversity of the cadets of the military academy, so as not to become a tool of interest of a certain class.
However, if the army recommends those outstanding soldiers in the army to study in the military academy, it will definitely weaken the combat effectiveness of the army, and those outstanding soldiers themselves have learned a lot of ways to use soldiers on the battlefield, so Zhou Zhong launched a crash course, so that those outstanding soldiers can return to the army after a short period of study, so that it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the army too much, and for those soldiers who come to the military academy to study, they can not only know more about the way to lead the soldiers, but also can gild themselves with a layer of gold, becoming a veritable protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven is more conducive to future promotion.
Zhao Zuoxing is a member of the crash course of the military academy, at the beginning, he was reluctant to come to the military academy, after all, he was already almost thirty people, but he still had to study with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, which really made him a little uncomfortable, but when he stayed in the military academy for a month. Zhao Zuoxing liked the life of the military academy, learning the art of war every morning, practicing actual combat drills in the afternoon, and taking a day off every ten days. You can go to the capital to hang out, and you can also participate in various competitions organized by the military academy, such as the football match held by the military academy some time ago, which is now renamed the rugby game by the school supervisor, Zhao Zuoxing and a group of brothers defeated other teams and won the first football championship of the military school in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this happy day in the military school, Zhao Zuoxing was even more reluctant in his heart, he was originally from a military household in Ningxia, took his father's class into the army, and relied on the literacy skills he learned secretly outside the private school since he was a child. Coupled with the bravery in the battle, this was promoted to a hundred households in the first guard, I thought that I could only fight in Ningxia for the rest of my life until I died on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to come to the prosperous capital this time. And he can spend such a period of time in the military academy that he didn't even dare to think of before, and even when he returns to the army in the future, he can also be reused, maybe in the future, his son can also be like those young boys in the military academy, relying on the shadow of the elders in the family to enter the military academy to study.
Thinking that his son could also come to the military academy to study in the future, Zhao Zuoxing couldn't help but feel a little excited. Even the sadness in his heart was diluted a lot, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and began to hurry up and pack his luggage, as long as the orders assigned to them from above came down, they would go to serve in the new army, but Zhao Zuoxing might not return to Ningxia. Instead, he may go to Xuanfu or Liaodong, anyway, they are all border troops, and the conditions are similar, so Zhao Zuoxing doesn't care where he goes.
Just as Zhao Zuoxing packed his luggage, the door of the dormitory was suddenly knocked open. Immediately afterwards, a thin man rushed in and shouted excitedly at Zhao Zuoxing: "Brother Zhao, we are going to develop this time!" β
"Brother Hou, did you hear any gossip again?" Zhao Zuoxing looked at the person who came and said helplessly, this thin man is named Hou Li, he is an officer recommended by Liaodong, the two live in the same dormitory, don't look at Hou Lichang's thinness, but he is a good martial artist, fighting alone in the military academy, few people are his opponents, and Hou Li likes to inquire about things, the news is the most well-informed, it is a famous bag in the military academy to inquire, this time is approaching, Hou Li has been asking where they can be assigned to these graduated students, it is estimated that today I heard some news.
"Hehe, my little brother heard a big news today, the military academy's distribution of us people has been decided, not to go to Ningxia or Xuanfu in the border army, but to be placed in the four outer armies of the forbidden army on the spot, as for the original generals in the four outer armies, they are all dismissed and re-studied in the military academy!" Hou Li said very excitedly again.
Although the army in the capital did not fight, there would be many fewer opportunities for meritorious service, but now the imperial court is suppressing the border army severely, even if they are making meritorious contributions, there is no reward in the end, but it is more convenient for the officers in the forbidden army to be promoted, and even if they can get the attention of His Majesty, it is not impossible to ascend to the sky in one fell swoop, just look at that Jiang Bin.
"What? It's true? Zhao Zuoxing was also taken aback when he heard that they would be arranged into the outer four armies of the forbidden army, the so-called outer four armies were the 40,000 troops mobilized by Jiang Bin from the border army, and after the 40,000 border troops were added to the forbidden army, the Xiguan Hall was specially set up to control the four outer armies, and now Jiang Bin is in charge of the Xiguan Hall.
"Of course it's true, I heard it from the guards around the school supervisor, it is said that the school supervisor personally suggested it to His Majesty, and now His Majesty has agreed, but it has not yet been officially edicted, but I estimate that it will be soon, when we enter the army of the Xiguan Hall as generals, we can settle our homes in the capital, and we no longer have to suffer in the frontier!" Hou Lixi said in a colorful way, no one is born to like to fight, the reason why these border troops are so hard in the border pass, most of them are because their families live in the city behind them, if they are defeated, then their families will suffer in the end, but now if they can be officials in the capital, they can also take their families to live in the capital, and they no longer have to worry about the safety of their families.
"Great!" Zhao Zuoxing heard that the news was spread from the guards around the school supervisor, so there must be no mistake, you must know that the current school supervisor is no longer the old prince Xu Li before, but His Royal Highness King Zhao, the only younger brother of His Majesty today, what he said naturally will not be false.
But then Zhao Zuoxing thought of another thing, and asked a little puzzled: "Brother Hou, you and I both know about the things in the military academy some time ago, Jiang Bin wanted to put his hand in the military academy, and he almost succeeded, but then His Royal Highness King Zhao took over the military academy, which made Jiang Bin dare not fight the idea of the military academy again, and now His Royal Highness King Zhao has arranged us in the four outer armies under Jiang Bin's control, will it be ......?"
Jiang Bin meddled in the affairs of the military academy before, and the entire military academy knew about it, and even many instructors had secretly taken refuge in Jiang Bin, but unfortunately Zhou Zhong took over in the end, which made Jiang Bin retract his hand, so when Zhao Zuoxing heard that King Zhao had arranged all of them into the army under Jiang Bin's control, he immediately thought of the previous incident.
The generals who can be recommended to study in the military academy are naturally not stupid people, but after Hou Li heard Zhao Zuoxing's words, he also smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, there are some things that you just know in your heart, there is no need to say it, and no matter how you fight, it is none of our business, but we are all people from the military academy, as long as we are loyal to Your Majesty and the court." β
Hearing Hou Li's reminder, Zhao Zuoxing also laughed and said: "Brother Hou is right, but Brother Wei just made a little mistake, we martial artists just have to be loyal to the country!" β
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zuoxing and Hou Li also smiled at each other, but then both of them were a little worried, although it is a good thing to be able to settle in the capital, but the price of the capital is not low, they used to be fighting in the army, and they don't have much savings at all, if they want to settle in the capital, they must at least rent a yard, and the daily expenses of the family, all of which need to be taken out of their Yulu, although they will be promoted after graduating from the military academy, and the Yulu will also grow, but they are still a little worried that it will not be enough.
After discussing their private affairs, it happened to be noon at this time, and Hou Li said: "Brother Zhao, today is our last day in the military academy, we will receive a notice of appointment in the afternoon, and then take office, although they are all in the forbidden army, but it is not as convenient as it is now, why don't we go and have a drink or two?" β
Regarding Hou Li's proposal, Zhao Zuoxing shook his head and said: "Brother Hou, since it is the last day of the military academy, I think it is better for us to go to the cafeteria to eat, after all, it is not easy to come to the military academy to eat in the future, and I heard that today's canteen is your favorite tamale, which must not be missed!" β
As soon as he heard that the canteen was making tamales today, Hou Li also stood up excitedly, and said impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go to the canteen quickly, if it is a little later, I am afraid that others will rob the meat of it!" β
Seeing Hou Li's anxious appearance, Zhao Zuoxing also laughed, and the two hurried to the cafeteria at the moment, because they were about to graduate, so they didn't have to go to class this morning, but the other students hadn't finished class yet, so the people who ate in the cafeteria were all of them crash course students, and they all knew each other, especially Hou Li, who traveled extensively, and after a while, the news that they were going to enter the four outer families as generals after graduation spread, and as a result, it also caused a lot of waves in the entire military academy.
