Chapter 7: A New Journey
Time flies, since Han Zheng last talked to the principal, most of the time has passed in a dull way, and Han Zheng is still doing what he should do from morning to night.
The news in the school is not very confidential, a few days ago, the list of students to study in Germany has just been determined, the news has spread in the school, as for the specific personnel, everyone is talking, and there is no letter.
However, this suspense did not let everyone speculate for too long, it has been finalized, just yesterday, all the lists have been announced in the school, and in the seventh infantry section, the personnel list was even directly notified to the class and individuals, just like Principal Jiang said to Han Zheng, the two people in the infantry department are Han Zheng and Wang Xian.
The days passed in the hustle and bustle, and the day of parting was getting closer and closer, gradually dispersing the festive holiday of the seventh batch of students, no one will be happy on the day of parting, but it will still come as scheduled.
Today is destined to be a special day, all the students of the seventh class will leave this academy in two to three days, and then they will each embark on their own paths, some of them will really embark on a military career, and some will embark on other paths......
Early in the morning, in the usual assembly and wake-up number, no one in the seventh class complained about the noise because of the sound as usual.
Then, in silence, everyone got up and packed up their clothes, some serious and some dull......
All the students of the infantry department gathered under the leadership of Instructor Zhang, and then walked to the school to participate in their graduation ceremony, at this time, everyone's eyes were red, even if the students of the second squad and the third squad saw each other, they were no longer cold-eyed, and even looked at each other and smiled, as if all the hatred and hostility had disappeared at this moment.
If the encounter is wine, then the parting medicine ......
In the school field, colorful flags flew everywhere, and the students of the infantry section found the position of their class in the crowd, and stood upright under the command of Instructor Zhang.
The master of ceremonies at the front desk had already gone through several graduation ceremonies, and after making sure that all the classes were in place and in their seats, he shouted into the microphone, "Rissho-music-".
As the password sounded, the audience was solemn, and the entire school field began to be filled with the mighty and majestic military song of the Beiyang Army.
Han Zheng stood in the front row of the team, listening to the already familiar military songs, and couldn't help but be a little dazed in his eyes, now the momentum of the Beiyang New Army is thriving, and almost every enthusiastic young man takes protecting his family and defending the country as his own thoughts. And who would have thought that a few years later, this huge military bloc would suddenly collapse and become a great harm to China.
And in the future, how many people will die at the hands of their compatriots, classmates, teachers and students. How many hot-blooded young people will fall victim to careerists? Whose fault is this......
Thinking of this, Han Zheng couldn't help but choke a little.
"Since God has brought me to this era, maybe I should do something." Looking at the banner in front of him, Han Zheng muttered to himself, as if he saw the wolf smoke rising from the entire land of China a few years later, as well as the tragedy and desolation under Lang's eyes.
"yes, it's something to do!" Han Zheng clenched his fists and thought secretly.
As for what to do, maybe he doesn't know it himself. Now he would not have thought that in the future he would go to a step that he could not have imagined, and now he may just have this budding idea.
After the end of the music, it was the representatives of the various officials sent by the imperial court in the school to speak, which was nothing more than to let the students always remember the kindness of the imperial court and serve the Qing Dynasty, but who else did not know that the Qing Dynasty was now in turmoil, how many people heard it in their ears, and how many people remembered it in their hearts, which no one knows.
What people didn't expect was that the current Yuan Shikai, Governor Yuan also sent a congratulatory message, which was read out by Principal Jiang Baili himself, and the current Yuan Shikai is still very popular, after all, he is a minister of the imperial court, and he has the courage to do things, and now he is regarded as a capable official for outsiders, and is even considered to be the savior of current China......
Han Zheng listened silently below, thinking about the future, and his mind was disturbed, until a sentence suddenly woke him up like thunder.
"I want to tell you, now is not the end, but the beginning!"
Principal Jiang's words were powerful, and his face, which was originally a little pale, suddenly turned rosy. As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause suddenly rang out from the audience.
Han Zheng looked at Principal Jiang who was speaking on the stage, yes, it has just begun, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and this troubled old nation also has a long way to go.
"Don't think that if you graduate today, it means that your studies are over. As a soldier, your greatest duty is to defend your family and the country, to be a strong national defense soldier, your study is far from over, some students want to go to the army, some students want to study abroad, and some families have already asked people to find a good way, I just want to tell you that you will always be a soldier, a soldier who struggles for the rise of China!! ”
Principal Jiang's words made all the students and instructors enthusiastic, they had never seen their usual majestic and kind young principal so excited as today.
Principal Jiang didn't say anything about serving the Qing Dynasty in the process, nor did he go to see the ugly Qing court representatives, because he didn't want to put a shackle around the necks of his students, even if it was only a possible shackle.
"Today, I think I'm not attending a graduation meeting, but our pledge meeting!!" Hearing this, the entire school field boiled, and every student's face turned red.
Jiang Baili stood up abruptly on the stage, looking at the young faces that were full of vitality, these students were the hope of their national defense army dreams and the pillars of the squadron.
Thinking that he doesn't know how many people will die on the battlefield in the future, ten years of life and death, ten years of life and reunion, and ten years later, there are many people who will still be alive, he thinks that he is not a soft-minded person, but at this moment he can only try to control the tears that will come out of his eyes, turn his head and walk towards the stage.
Now he just wants to go back and cry, for this nation, for these children!
The graduation ceremony, it can also be said that the oath meeting is over, Instructor Zhang looked at every student with red eyes, and even the second stunned person who had always been stunned did not dare to look at him.
He took a deep breath, "In the future, I hope you all remember every word our Principal Zhang said today, otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing him as a student in the future!" ”
After a pause, he soothed his tone: "Today I invite everyone to a meal, which is also a breakup of our teachers and students, I only hope that you will get ahead in the future, but if anyone does something hurtful, I will be the first to collapse him." ”
"All of them, stand upright, take a break! Disband. Instructor Zhang waved his hand: "Go back and prepare, and immediately go to the guest to eat at the Xiang Restaurant, remember, I invite." The instructor said a joke that wasn't a joke.
Han Zheng led their group of students and left the school field together and walked towards the dormitory. However, they ran into the second team on Wang Xian's side on the way, and everyone stopped sneering at each other at this time, Wang Xian glanced at Han Zheng with a smile and greeted him.
"Brother Shaowu, I have offended a lot before, I hope you will forgive me, especially the second stunned brother, I apologize to you for what I said before, you are a well-known man, I Wang Xian admires."
Hearing this, Han Zheng returned a salute, nodded to him and left, only then turned around and left.
Behind him, the voices of other students in the second squad came: "Captain, why apologize to them, we won't trouble them in the future." ”
"That's it, that's it," the other team members also said to Wang Xian.
"Shut up, didn't hear what the principal said today? Now we are classmates, and in the future we will be brothers, brothers who can block guns for you! In the past, we were in competition, but when we walked out of this school, we were brothers who trusted each other for life and death! Whoever lets me hear any of you talk nonsense, see that I don't beat you. Wang Xian glared at them fiercely.
However, he also knew that these people only listened to him temporarily when he was the captain, and after graduation, they still didn't recognize him. He looked at Duan Nian, who was following him without saying a word, and sighed, he always had to explain clearly when he left, and he should not let him mix with these people.
Han Zheng and his party returned to the dormitory, and then gathered together.
"Everyone heard what the principal and instructor said today, so I won't say it again. In the future, when I go abroad, you are estimated to be assigned to various armies, don't forget, you must always contact each other, until when we are all brothers, in the future, when I come back from abroad, you all have to mix up one by one, don't lose the face of the third squad of our class. Han Zheng's eyes turned a little red as he spoke, and the second stunned lowered his head, not grabbing the conversation at this time.
"Captain, you will always be our captain, if you come back from abroad, I will also be a soldier under you, captain, will you still accept it?" He looked at Han Zheng and asked. "Accept it, as long as you come, I will accept it." ……
"Hurry up and get out, let's go." The instructor's voice rang out outside.
Han Zheng glanced at a few of them again and said, "Let's go, follow the instructor to eat and drink." ”
(PS: I think, we are also a new journey, let's go down this road together...... )
