Chapter 215: Martial Arts Academy
In the second year of Jianxing, in late May
Wei Shuo left Gao Zhan in Jicheng, while he took Lu Chang, Han Shou, Liu Yao, Duan Wenyang, Liu Han and others to secretly return to Xiangping by sea to participate in the opening ceremony of the Wubei Academy.
"Tsk, Xiangping looks much grander than Jicheng!"
Liu Han and Duan Wenyang were both visiting Liaodong for the first time, and they were all shocked by the vibrant and tall and majestic Xiangping City. Even Liu Han, who was born in a family, felt that after entering Xiangping, he was like a hillbilly who had never seen much of the world. The straight cement avenue in the center of the city opened the eyes of Liu Han and Duan Wenyang.
The corners of Wei Shuo's mouth showed a hint of pride, Xiangping City has been continuously renovated and expanded in the past two years, its scale has been three times the original, and the newly built Liaodong Wubei School is located in the university town north of the old city.
On the morning of the next day, generals at all levels of the Liaodong military gathered in the military academy to prepare for the opening ceremony of the new academy.
In front of the martial arts school, the dragon statue representing the Chinese totem is facing the direction of the rising sun, symbolizing the Chinese nation's nine days of dragon prosperity.
When Wei Shuo and his entourage arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, they were greeted by hundreds of middle- and low-level generals who were lined up on both sides of the road and were about to enter the academy to study.
Accompanied by Zhang Biao (Zhang Erlang's new name), Zhang Tong, Speedu and other senior generals, Wei Shuo and his entourage entered the martial arts academy.
First of all, Wei Shuo took everyone to visit the bright classrooms, clean and comfortable dormitories, spacious school review grounds, training grounds and other infrastructure in the school.
Then, everyone will gather at the school to review the parade phalanx composed of students and some elites from Liaodong.
Wei Shuo, accompanied by more than a dozen military generals, walked up to the high platform and stood at the front, while the rest of the people were lined up behind him, while the soldiers and students who participated in the parade gathered on the side of the high platform, waiting for the order to start the parade.
It's the same with state studies. There are still a large number of children of the Liaodong Chongchen family enrolled in the Wubei Academy, among which Yang Tan's son Yang Hu is a member of the junior officer training class of the Wubei Academy, and is now waiting for Wei Shuo's review under the stage.
After everyone was in place, Zhang Biao, a senior officer cadet of the Martial Arts Academy, trotted all the way to Wei Shuo, knelt down on one knee, and gave a military salute with his right arm across his chest. "Report to General Wei, the captain of Dongyi, the preparation of the cadet review ceremony has been completed, and the last general has come to ask the captain for an order to start the review!"
"Accurate!"
"No!"
After Zhang Biao got the order, he immediately turned around and came to the front of the stage, and a gorgeous fish scale armor made him look extraordinarily heroic. And Duan Wenyang, who participated in this kind of activity for the first time, was about to pop out of his eyes, and he was particularly envious when he looked at the generals at all levels in Liaodong wearing fish scale armor and swords hanging from their waists.
"Knock knock!"
With the wave of Zhang Biao's flag, a passionate war drum sounded over the school field, and then the sound of neat footsteps and drums came faintly from a distance. More than 1,000 students, soldiers, and instructors formed 20 small phalanxes were slowly walking from the side of the school field.
Straight queues. Just like a straight line, forming a neat phalanx, like Mount Tai pressing the top of the general towards the review stand, its military appearance is so neat, so that countless people on the scene exclaimed. Not to mention Duan Wenyang, who has never seen the world, even Zhang Tong and the others looked dumbfounded, and the eyes of many generals became fanatical.
The first to be reviewed were the sword and shield soldiers, one of the most common types of troops in Liaodong, who were best at hand-to-hand combat. It is mainly equipped with round shields, ring-headed knives and paper armor, and is a kind of light infantry with both offense and defense. On the battlefield. Sword and shield soldiers generally take on the task of covering the two flanks of the spear array, or play a role in defending and besieging a city.
The sword and shield soldier held the handle of the sword at his waist as a drawing outfit, and walked neatly to the moment he came to the high platform, and suddenly changed from walking in unison to a straight and powerful step, and the heavy and powerful footsteps struck the heart of everyone standing on the high platform. It makes people feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Biao strode to the edge of the high platform and shouted: "Draw your sword, salute the captain!" ”
"Choke!" Bang. The sword and shield soldiers who participated in the review all drew their ring-headed knives, pointed the tip of the knife obliquely to the sky, and looked at the high platform, and only when they passed in front of Wei Shuo, who was standing in the center of the high platform, did they neatly and forcefully withdraw the ring-headed knife and stand in front of their chests.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The roars of dozens of people shouldn't have been so loud, but for some reason, everyone present felt a rush of momentum, and this momentum seemed to be able to tear apart any obstacles that stood in their way.
After the sword and shield soldiers phalanx passed, followed by the cavalry phalanx, the bow and crossbow soldier phalanx, the spearman phalanx and other troops, after the baptism of the sword and shield soldiers, although the next few phalanxes performed well, but they would not make everyone feel very amazing. Only when the Modao phalanx appeared in the end, it caused another commotion.
In order to make the Modao team participating in the school parade look more majestic and majestic, the Armed Forces Academy specially brought sixty-four sets of fish scale armor from the Joint Logistics Division for each soldier to match. The Mo Dao team composed of sixty-four people entered like a wall, and its monstrous murderous aura came to the face, making people dare not force their eyes.
"Wan Sheng!"
With a roar of rage, sixty-four Mo knives were held high like a forest, striding over the high platform, like a demon from hell, making people shudder. Although Duan Wenyang had not personally experienced the power of the Mo Dao, he could know the great lethality of the Mo Dao to the cavalry from the defeated soldiers of the Duan clan after the war.
The school review ceremony prepared by the Wubei Academy left a deep impression on everyone.
After the military parade, as the supreme commander of the Liaodong Army, Wei Shuo walked to the front of the stage and delivered an opening speech in front of hundreds of students.
This is not the first time Wei Shuo has spoken in public, and now he has a lot of hands on it in the face of such a situation, and he doesn't even need to prepare a speech in advance. In this speech, Wei Shuo intends to instill the spirit of responsibility, glory, and sacrifice in the incoming officer cadets.
“…… In my opinion, as a qualified soldier, you should have the spirit of responsibility, glory, and sacrifice, just as the world rises and falls, and you have the responsibility to be a soldier, and you are more capable of taking on the burden of saving the common people and protecting China! …… We must regard glory above all else, and we must have the spirit of sacrificing everything to protect the interests of the common people of the world......"
“…… I hope you can firmly remember one sentence: the interests of the Chinese nation are above all else! At all times, as a Chinese soldier, we should take safeguarding the interests of the nation as our highest code of action. When family interests, personal interests, and the interests of the Chinese nation conflict, military personnel should not hesitate to put the interests of China first......"
“…… Taishi Gong once said: People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather! Dying for the interests of the Chinese nation is more significant than Mount Tai. On the contrary, dying for personal gain or family gain is less meaningful than a feather......"
Wei Shuo's speech made many people present mutter, it seems that his own lord really has no good impression of the family, and he does not forget to suppress the family on any occasion. As we all know, the family is a group of guys who regard the interests of the family as everything, and in their eyes, there is no society or nation at all.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" The students on the school field looked at Wei Shuo on the high platform with feverish eyes, and shouted slogans in their mouths.
Wei Shuo's speech was coming to an end, and finally in front of all the students and the generals of Liaodong, he raised his arms and shouted: "Huaxia Wansheng!" ”
"Huaxia Wansheng!" Everyone followed Wei Shuo and shouted slogans together.
In the military academy, the basic courses are divided into infantry, baggage, cavalry, neo-Confucianism, political science, staff and other subjects, no matter which level of students have to choose at least three subjects, of which neo-Confucianism and political science are compulsory courses.
In addition, the middle and senior cadets will also participate in the training of command courses, mainly listening to senior generals to teach the command of large corps, and re-simulating and rehearsing famous battles in history on the sand table, in order to train a large number of qualified senior generals.
At present, the instructors responsible for teaching advanced command are Wei Shuo, Gao Zhan, Pei Wei, Duan Wenyang and others, and the reason why Duan Wenyang was brought here was mainly because he had participated in several major battles with Duan Xianbei and had rich experience in commanding the cavalry of the large corps.
But after Duan Wenyang found out, he strongly asked to join the academy as a student. (To be continued.) )
