This is a time that feels both familiar and strange to modern Han Chinese. It is also an era that makes modern Han people deeply fascinated and excited.

The Han people in this era are self-confident and self-reliant, and they will not look down on themselves or underestimate their opponents. The Han people who go out from here have unparalleled pride! Because they live in the greatest and most powerful country in the whole world, the Han Empire!

Where does the self-confidence of the people of the Great Han come from? Of course, in the 500-year-long expansion, the Han army is invincible and invincible. The victories of previous wars have created the self-confidence of the people of the Han Dynasty and the glory of the Han Empire! The coming of all nations after the victory of the war is only an incidental product of victory!

This, of course, is the military's explanation.

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng bumped on the road for nearly a month, and finally arrived in Yanzhou, but before they arrived in Yuyang County, where Zhaowu University is located, they were taken to Hejian City by the Zhaowu University Recruitment Office for brainwashing and education.

Every cadet who wants to apply for Zhaowu University must undergo a one-day basic military honor training at the Hongwu Hall in Hejian City. The so-called military honor training is actually the lecturer repeatedly instilling a truth in the students - the reason why the Han Empire is so powerful and inviolable, and the reason why the people of the Han are so happy, proud and confident, is all because of the existence of the Han army!

On this topic, both Shen Yun and Fang Cheng remained silent.

In fact, both Shen Yun and Fang Cheng, who had studied at Imperial University, believed that an empire conquered by force alone could not last long. The reason why the Han Dynasty is strong and the people are rich and self-confident is that the courage and good fighting of the Han army is only one of the reasons.

Today's Han is at the top of the world, both economically and culturally. This is an important reason why the Han Empire is so powerful!

Of course, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng would not be stupid enough to argue with the lecturer about this. If the students who apply for the examination have all gone to university, they will naturally understand this truth.

However, it was also this day that Shen Yun initially appreciated the importance that Emperor Shengzu attached to the purity of the army-even the brainwashing method passed down by later generations was moved by his old man.

After a day of training, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng, together with the twenty-one trainees who were being trained together at that time, took the carriage of the Hongwu Pavilion to Yuyang County.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yuyang, located at the southern foot of the Yanshan Mountains, due to the expansion of the empire's territory, the current Yuyang also governed the southwest of Liaoning, the southeast of Inner Mongolia and the northeast of Hebei. The entire Yuyang County is actually the campus of Zhaowu University. There are plains, mountains, deserts, lakes and other terrains here, which are extremely suitable for all kinds of complex military training.

The population of the entire Yuyang County is actually not very large, only about 500,000, which is one-twentieth of the entire Yanzhou and one-tenth of the Liaozhou in the north.

This is because Yuyang County serves as a training ground for Somu University. Many areas were planned as military training areas, and people were not allowed to farm. Fortunately, the empire is vast. As early as the time of the Holy Ancestors, a more fertile northeast region was developed. Liaozhou, Jizhou, and Beihai Prefecture all have large tracts of fertile land to cultivate, but they did not cause trouble.

Entering the Yuyang Realm, Shen Yun was able to find that the style here was completely different from that of the outside world. It is closer to modernity, and the greenery on both sides of the straight road has a distinctly modern style - it is worthy of the military academy prepared by the Holy Ancestor Emperor himself!

Baoding County, the southernmost part of Yuyang County, is the place where the trainees are assessed. With the enactment of the Privy Council Decree of Enlargement. There are a lot of people who come to apply for Zhaowu University, most of them are the children of nobles north of the Yellow River. However, everyone knows that Zhaowu University, as the most famous military school in the empire and the lowest graduation rate, has the strictest entrance assessment.

In response to this expansion order. Zhaowu University has set up assessment points in Baoding, Zhending, Yongping, Shuntian and other three counties. The assessment is conducted every five days. There are three main contents of the assessment: literature and history, physical fitness and technical attack!

After the three main test contents, there are 18 assessments such as cross-country, riding archery, mathematics, breeding (yes, breeding), labor, astronomy, etc.

Why is it just a military school, why do you have to prepare for so many exams?

This is because what Zhaowu University wants is not soldiers who can only shout and kill, but there are many such soldiers in the conscription in the spring and autumn. What Zhaowu University needs is a level-headed and knowledgeable imperial officer!

Zhaowu University is the cradle of imperial officers, and every student who graduates from here will be at least the commander of a company in the future, in charge of the life and death of more than a hundred people! As an officer, any order needs to be considered comprehensively, although there will be relevant education in the study of the military school, but if there is a relevant foundation before entering the school, it will also get twice the result with half the effort in the future study, right?

There were a total of sixty-four people who were assessed with Shen Yunfang, which seemed to be very few, but this was already the fourteenth batch to participate in the assessment, and the previous batch was more than 1,000 people, almost in time for the spring conscription.

However, when filling out the form, Shen Yun found that although there were many people applying for Zhaowu University, the acceptance rate was extremely low. There are nearly 5,000 students in these fourteen batches, but Zhaowu University only admitted less than 800 people! Almost one percent!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The person in charge of the assessment is the graduating graduate of Zhaowu University. Zhaowu University is a pure military management, there is a fixed establishment, these students belong to the fifth company of cadets enrolled in 998, the company commander is the fifth, the single name is a company, and the word Fenwu.

When they heard him introduce himself, everyone, including Shen Yun, laughed. It's really appropriate, the fifth company, he is really the fifth company.

"Isn't it funny?" The Fifth Company grimaced, made an extremely ugly voice, and said sharply: "When you cry and shout to leave here, you won't be able to laugh!" Now start the assessment, the first item, 30 miles of cross-country with weight, everyone runs two laps around Baoding City, start! ”

Among the sixty-four assessment students, they were immediately divided into two factions, one faction automatically went to the place where the form had just been filled out to collect the weight, while the other faction stood there and shouted loudly: "Hey, isn't the first item a literary and historical assessment?" Why did you start running right away? ”

"yes, how is that? Don't follow the rules! ”

"I haven't even eaten breakfast yet, how can I run? Didn't you mean to toss us? ”

……

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng glanced at each other. At the same time, he shook his head with a wry smile. They found that the people who would automatically go to collect the weight were some people who didn't even have long hair and knew at a glance that they had just returned from the army, while those who were noisy were some people who had just come out of their homes and were ready to take advantage of the expansion order to enter the military academy and mix military merits.

"These stupid people have come to the assessment, can't they recognize their identities?" Shen Yun secretly sneered. He and Fang Cheng were mixed in the group of newly discharged examiners to receive weights, and for those who were noisy. Shen Yun believed that they had been eliminated.

Sure enough, when the fifth company saw that no one in the team went to collect the weight, he sneered: "Tell me the rules? Will the enemy tell you the rules on the battlefield? Soldiers make it their duty to obey orders, and you don't even have the slightest awareness of that. Which military school do you apply for?! Hurry up and get out of here, the assessment of Zhaowu University. You didn't pass! ”

This time the noise caused by this is even louder.

"Who the fuck are you? You said you didn't pass it, you didn't pass it? Do you know who my dad is? ”

"I want to complain. Damn, a fart company commander is here to teach Lao Tzu a lesson, count it as a ball! ”

"Yes, we have to complain, go to the school office to complain!"

These examiners were excited, waving their arms to find someone. The result was naturally fruitless. The Fifth Company, which entered the school in 998, even if it is not elite, it is naturally easy to clean up these noble children who are more like soldiers than soldiers......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng didn't see this scene, they were carrying a weight of forty catties. Circle around Baoding City. With this elimination, there are only twenty-five people left! However, Shen Yun found that these twenty-five people were all in good physical condition, carrying a weight of forty catties, and each of them fell behind. Later, Shen Yun learned that in the second-class army, thirty miles off-road, the weight was generally about fifty catties, forty catties, which was really easy.

After disposing of the group of garbage, the Fifth Company stood at the head of the city again and watched the group of students below. A slightly sturdy soldier next to him said to the fifth company: "Company commander, those two are Shen Yun, Marquis of Bohai, and Fang Li, the prince of Hou Shizi of Huainan. ”

The Fifth Company nodded silently: "In my army, there is no prince, let alone a marquis. If they can pass the assessment, they are my soldiers, and if they can't pass, let them get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of this, the fifth company paused, turned around and said, "By the way, Rui Chu, how many people have we recruited during this time?" ”

This person's name is Zhang Mo, the word Ruichu, is the guard platoon leader of the fifth company enrolled in 998, with a national character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it is more attractive than the fifth company with a cold face.

He flipped through the notebook in his hand and said with a smile: "Since the first batch, a total of seven hundred and forty-one people have been recruited, but except for our five companies, the other companies are all stuffed." What the instructor means is that after recruiting this batch, there will be no more assessments. ”

The Fifth Company nodded: "Okay, that's it." Seeing that the three months are approaching, I just hope that they won't drag us back, if we can't go to the northwest, I will have to train these noble children to death! Hum! ”

Zhang Mo couldn't help but look at the assessment students who ran from the city with deep sympathy, and secretly shook his head.

Not every university likes this expansion order. In particular, Zhaowu University, a military school that strives to produce elites, is most disgusted by these noble children who want to come to the army to gild. However, the Privy Council has an order, and Zhaowu University cannot disobey the order, but will find some way to deal with it.

Not only Zhaowu University, but in fact, each military school has its own arrangements for these specially recruited students, and they can be supplemented into the cadet company as appropriate without affecting the quality of the current trainees.

Most of the students who have been discharged from the second-class army have excellent military qualities, but their cultural literacy is insufficient, and they must at least start studying from their junior or even sophomore year. Only those soldiers who have passed the military quality test and have a good level of education will be placed in the senior year to study with the new graduates - provided that they can pass the three-month intensive training, of course.

Of the more than 700 people recruited before, only about 20 joined the company of senior cadets, and most of the others started studying again from their sophomore year.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Two days later.

"It seems that the quality of the twenty-five people this time is not bad!" Zhang Mo looked at the final report card and said to the fifth consecutive with a smile, "Especially Bohai, uh, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng, the three main examination results are the first. However, there were four unsatisfactory items in the preparation items, especially farming and breeding, and they didn't know how to take care of the horses and grow food from the fields! ”

The fifth company took the report card and looked at it, with no expression on his cold face: "The common problem of noble children, but it doesn't matter, just practice." By the way, these files must be sealed, especially their identities, and they must not be allowed to be leaked. In addition to reporting to the school office and instructors. No one else is allowed to know. ”

Zhang Mo saluted: "Wow! ”

The fifth company looked at the report card and continued: "Among these twenty-five people, Shen Yun, Fang Cheng and this Zhao Xin and Pang Tong. The five of Zhong Lisi were included in our fifth company after the intensive training, and the others were handed over to other companies for selection. Don't hand in all the lists. Our fifth company is responsible for the assessment of new students. But he always lags behind to pick up leftovers, and it makes people laugh when they say it. ”

Zhang Mo smiled: "Didn't you understand it before, the Duanmu Company Commander of the Third Company shouted fiercely, and he was careless for a while...... Hey hey"

The cold face of the fifth company finally changed, but this change could only be felt by Zhang Mo - it was a suffocated smile......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ten miles northeast of Yuyang City, there is a small county town called Miyun. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. The view is outstanding. This is where the recruit training site of Zhaowu University is located - of course, there is no reservoir here.

Although the scenery was good, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng didn't feel the slightest pleasure. After two days of obviously rigorous assessments, the evening of the third day. They were sent here, along with the students from the other four assessment points, a total of 320 people.

Thinking back to the past two days, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng both felt a chill, it was too strict, they simply didn't treat the assessment students as people, but like animals. After 30 miles of cross-country loading, the cultural and historical assessment was carried out immediately, and lunch was completed in the process of cultural and historical assessment. In the afternoon, it was a physical fitness assessment, and the continuous exercise made Shen Yun and Fang Cheng miserable, and even those soldiers who had just been discharged from the army were a little unbearable. At night, it still didn't stop, and there was still an astronomical assessment. The next morning, it was cross-country again, and then there was the technical assessment...... In short, after two days, these examiners have no time to think about anything, and they only have continuous assessment and assessment in their minds.

By the time they reached Miyun, their devastated hearts had finally been comforted a little. Because when they get here, they are official students of Zhaowu University.

Just when everyone thought they could get a good night's rest, they found that it was just a luxury.

As soon as dinner was over, the three hundred and twenty students were summoned to the school field in Miyun County and lined up in turn. There are dozens of huge braziers around the school field, which lights up the entire school field.

At the front of the line, a short-haired man of about forty years old in a casual military uniform stood on a high platform with his hands behind his back. The Red Flame Sword Badge on this man's shoulder tells everyone that he is a captain!

The captain glanced around coldly, then suddenly smiled disdainfully.

"You're the waste that's going to enter Zhaowu University?" The man's disdainful smile and voice were passed on the school grounds.

"Very well, I see anger in your eyes. Shows that you are a little bit cute. Officially introduce myself, my surname is Yan, Yan of the King of Yama. If you wastes can get out of here qualifiedly, you can call me Lao Yan. But before that, you pieces of shit have to honestly call me 'sir,' you know? ”

"Understood." Everyone said in unison.

Lao Yan suddenly frowned and yelled, "What? Say it again? ”

This roar was like a thunderbolt of lightning, instantly piercing the entire school field. All the students who were disdainful and angry, and even drowsy, were awakened by this roar that seemed to pierce the eardrums, and they all unconsciously raised their heads at the same time and replied loudly: "Understood! ”

"Wrong! You idiots, bastards! Lao Yan suddenly roared and jumped down from the high platform, pointing at a soldier in the front row and scolding, "Do you fucking have military common sense?" Do you know how to answer the chief's question? Damn, a bunch of shit, pure shit. When I ask a question, you have to shout to report to the chief when you answer, do you understand? ”

"Got it, sir!" The student who was scolded by Lao Yan was almost shocked by the thunderous roar and sat on the ground, his face full of panic, but he had to shout loudly to hide his inner uneasiness.

"What do you understand? You know a fart! Lao Yan didn't seem to be able to let go of these students, waving his arms and roaring loudly, "You waste, garbage, cannon fodder on the battlefield, do you want to come to Zhaowu University and be loyal to the country?" Are you qualified? It's not that Lao Tzu looks down on you, even if you go to the battlefield as cannon fodder, you will be a burden! The answer is not imposing, there is no strength in standing, do you look like soldiers? Like an imperial soldier who is about to become the wings of the Great Han? Answer me! ”

"Report sir, not like that!" This time, everyone learned to be obedient and yelled in unison.

One thing is for sure, this old Yan must have learned internal kung fu such as the lion's roar, otherwise his Zhongqi would not be so sufficient.

"You're still a little self-aware!" Lao Yan seemed to have finally roared enough, walked through the ranks of students, slowed down his tone, and said in a deep voice: "Then do you know the origin of our name Yulin Army?" You, you answer! ”

Lao Yan clicked on a young man beside Shen Yun this time. This person Shen Yun knew, he came from Baoding with him, his short hair had not been long, obviously he had just been discharged from the army, he was more than 1.8 meters tall, very imposing, with a square face and a nose, his eyes were attentive, and his two thick black eyebrows were like two knives pointing straight to the sky.

Oh, by the way, his name is Zhao Xin.

I saw Zhao Xin raise his head and chest and stomach, stand up in a standard military posture, and shouted loudly: "Report to the chief, for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest, called the feather forest!" ”

Lao Yan looked at Zhao Xin with a hint of appreciation, turned around, continued to walk in the team, and said loudly: "Very good!" You wastes keep this sentence firmly in mind for me, for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest, called the feather forest! If you think you can't be winged for the country one day, then fuck me out of the morning, otherwise Lao Tzu will be the first to cut off his head, understand? ”

"Got it, sir!" This time the answer was neat.

"Okay, let me know where you guys come from." Lao Yan walked to the front of the line, starting from the first row, staring at the trainees with sharp eyes, and shouted, "Tell me, where are you from and what is your name." ”

"Report to the chief, subordinate Pang Tong, Yizhou people!"

"Damn, haven't you eaten enough? Give me a loud voice! Old Yan roared.

Pang Tong could only shout even louder: "Report to the chief, subordinate Pang Tong, Yizhou people!" ”

In fact, any student starting from Pang Tong would not answer in a small voice, but Lao Yan would still change his way to make the student shout again. It is estimated that the big voices in the army are trained in this way.

"Report to the chief, subordinate Zhong Lisi, Surabaya people."

"Report to the chief, subordinate Zhao Xin, Changshan people's clan."

"Report to the chief, subordinate Shen Yun, Bohai people."

"Report to the chief, subordinate to the lower transcription, the Huainan clan."

……

Outside the school field, Zhang Mo crossed his arms to his chest, watched Lao Yan keep roaring at the new students, and said to the fifth company next to him with a smile: "Company commander, it seems that Captain Yan's training of recruits is nothing more than this, but he was bluffed enough back then, and now that I think about it, it's nothing more than that!" ”

The Fifth Company had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Captain Yan back then, do you think you would be able to survive the three-month intensive training?" ”

Zhang Mo was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, if it weren't for his roar back then, I guess I wouldn't be able to remember my identity by now." ”

The fifth company muttered: "Yes, it is these roars that make us firmly remember our identity, we are the wings of the country, such as Lin Zhisheng's great Han Feather Lin Army!" ”

PS: Let's talk about it, some friends always think that the speed is slow, but this speed is already too fast. I understand that fast food is popular now, and it jumps thousands of miles at every turn, and I can't wait for the Han to go to war with Rome now, and then the two armies will fight bloody and fleshy. But can you read such a novel? There is no process, no prelude, and even no dialogue and no foreshadowing, will such a battle be passionate?

I've been writing this book very hard, and I hope you will read it too. All right?

By the way, there will be two shifts today, please give me a count! Thank you! (To be continued.) )
