The river is farther away from Chang'an, and for these literati, it is more difficult to choose to climb over the green mountains, so choosing to go to the river is naturally more favorable. However, the treatment of the two schools in the west of the city is also good enough, and it is also an excellent choice for scribes who do not want to climb over the green mountains.

The official opening of the Anxi Artillery Institute and the Anzai Technical College was at the beginning of March of the second year of Zhide.

Because Ma Lan attaches great importance to these two schools, the opening of the school is also very lively. There are more than 1,000 students in the two schools, not only the children of the Han people in the western part of the country, but also a large number of poor children from Shazhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou and other poor families in Longyou, Hexi. It is extremely difficult to go to Chang'an to get a mixed background, and for these children of the Han family, this is also a good step into the body. Of course, the most attractive thing to these children from poor families is the generous treatment of the students in the academy comparable to the new soldiers of Anxi.

Standing in the newly built auditorium, looking at the dense young men below, Ma Luan couldn't calm down in his heart.

The establishment of these two schools means that everything is finally on the right track, on the track he predetermined.

These two schools are not only to train officers and craftsmen for the city, but also to plant two seeds for future generations, where students will learn not only the skills of operating artillery and the method of making ordnance, but also the principles he wants them to understand.

Those things were written in those pamphlets by him in the Spring and Autumn period.

It is impossible for one person to change the people of this era too much, but there will be a beginning in the end. Some things do not change, and the benefits of armaments alone are not enough to rely on after all.

The Han civilization is what he values. However, while preserving the skeleton of Han civilization. Something new had to be injected into it, too. Only then can this ancient civilization come alive again, so that it can have a longer vitality.

In the future of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty, there may be a royal family on it, however...... It will be different after all.

To achieve this goal, change must begin with young people.

Looking at these young Han family children, Ma Lu took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"The land under your feet is called Anthy. Since General Hou Junji's expedition to Gaochang. I, Datang, have been running this land for more than 100 years. ”

"But we didn't own this land from that time. If you want to clarify this, you have to start from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty......"

In the huge auditorium, General Ma's passionate voice echoed inside. For more than a thousand years, Erlang looked at it with blazing eyes, and listened to the general elaborate on the history of the Han people through the Western Regions.

From Huo Quai's opening of the Hexi Corridor, to the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, from Chen Tangdu Lai Shui to kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu, to the Wei and Jin dynasties in the Tuntian business in the Western Regions, the hardships of the descendants of the Tuntian soldiers in the Central Plains were left behind. The establishment of the Gaochang Kingdom was finally the hundred-year conquest of the Tang Dynasty in the west......

No one knows this history better than Ma Lan. One by one, the names that have been annihilated in the long river of history have been mentioned by Ma Lan, and in the past thousand years, the forgotten stories have become vivid under his telling.

Standing on the high platform, he was like a preacher at this moment. The young boys' eyes were blazing and they listened attentively, and the surrounding Anxi generals also listened attentively.

“…… You should already know that the land under your feet was not ours from the beginning, and this place, like the land of the Central Plains, was carved out by the ancestors who overcame the thorns and thorns. How to open it up? There are only two words, iron and blood! ”

"Iron is the sword in our hands, and blood is fearless courage! Today, what we all want to learn here is the art of killing! What we have to do in the coming day is to use the iron and blood spirit to open up the land for the plough of Datang with the sword of Datang! ”

"The world is big enough! It's so big that you can't even imagine it! The land of the Central Plains is already crowded enough, so we must continue to explore! The west of the moraine is ours, the river is also ours, the Great Food is ours, and the Greater Qin in the west will also be ours! ”

"The barbarians won't give up these lands on their own initiative, so we need to drive them away! Today's army of the Tang Dynasty is very different from the past, so I need you to be here to learn these killing skills! ”

"Of course, what you have to learn is not just the art of killing. A lot of what the general expects from you, you will slowly understand in the book! ”

“……”

After talking about the history of the city, Ma Ling continued to say a lot. He didn't know how much they would understand, but it would leave a deep impression on them.

He is actually familiar with this kind of incendiary speech, and he has prepared a draft for the night today, but unconsciously, the manuscript has been left behind by him. He said much more than he had prepared.

He wanted these young men to know what he knew. They are the future of the west and the future of the Tang Dynasty. The Han culture will envelop the Quartet, and the Tang Empire itself will also change, and the real change will start from the west of the city, from these two schools, and from these young people who are just starting to show their edge.

When the seed is sown, there is hope.

Standing on the podium and talking endlessly, Ma Lu's at this moment is completely different from the past.

Externally, they are iron-blooded soldiers, and internally, they have a preliminary spirit of equality, which is what Ma Lu expects from them.

This time the speech lasted for an extremely long time, even longer than the time he spoke when the Martyrs' Shrine in the River was inaugurated. In the huge auditorium, everyone listened quietly and looked at the general on the stage.

Many people do not understand that they will never hear such a speech again. Such heartfelt speech is actually unusual for Ma Lan. At this time, his heart was also excited.

The relationship between Moxi and Chang'an is determined that a new round of westward expansion is about to begin, and some changes on the spiritual level will start from here, starting from these two schools.

"The red sun is rising, and its path is bright! The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is pouring out! The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying! The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified! The eagle falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are sucked up! Strange flower firstborn, the emperor! Cadre women, there is a man! The sky wears its firmament, and the earth walks on its yellow! Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses! The future is like the sea, and the future is long! ……”

Liang Qichao's words are naturally the most appropriate as an ending. In fact, by this time, Ma Lan himself had calmed down. Such a passage was simply to motivate these young men, although he said it impassionedly, he was no longer excited at this time.

This passage was prepared when the manuscript was prepared. It didn't play with people's hearts, but after finishing speaking, the shouts and shouts in the auditorium instantly erupted, like a mountain shouting and a tsunami. Not only these young students, but also the surrounding Anxi generals also chanted in unison, extremely excited. They are all young Zhuang factions in the army, much smaller than Ma Lu, and can also be regarded as young people.

The opening ceremony, which was already extremely lively, reached its climax at this time. And this last sentence soon spread in the west of the moraine.

Ma Ling got off the high platform amid a deafening shout, and Gao Qianqian greeted him, her eyes full of stars.

"Husband...... You just looked like you were glowing all over......"

Yang Youniang on the side nodded vigorously, her little face flushed and she looked extremely excited.

Ma Lan smiled, the two girls were still young, so they were naturally easy to be infected by such words. It feels good to be looked at like this by a woman you like.

The opening ceremony was over, this time using the auditorium of the Anzai Artillery Academy, and the students of the Anzai Technical College left and returned to another complex to begin their first formal studies. The same is true of the students of the Artillery Academy, with Ma Luan's words today, I think that in the near future, they will study extremely seriously.

Of course, when this passion wears off, it is the strict rules and regulations that force them to work hard.

Leaving the school area, Li Xiu, a master who had not spoken, exclaimed: "The general is really talented!" If such a great talent takes the world, it is like probing the bag and taking the ear! What a pity for a small moraine governor! ”

When the two girls heard this, they looked at Ma Lan together, and Ma Lan smiled and said, "The master has won the award!" What I just said is Ma Lan's ambition, which is ferocious externally, so that the barbarians have to be afraid, and internally stresses the law, and everything is measured by right and wrong, which is my requirement for them and for myself. It is not difficult to take the world, but to make tens of millions of Han people's heads fall to the ground, I will not do such things. ”

Turning his head to look at Li Xiu, Ma Lan showed an apologetic look on his face, and said in a low voice: "The master has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but he can only hide his identity and cannot obtain a high-ranking official, at this point, Ma Lan can't stand the master craftsman......"

Li Xiu waved his hand: "Li Xiu has already seen these things." In fact, Li Xiu had expected his father to fall into such a fate. He is naturally not rebellious, but after all, he has done many wrong things, and now that the emperor has died, this matter cannot be changed. For Li Xiu, it is much better to stay in Anxi and do these things he likes than to be a young prisoner in the prison, and Li Xiu is already content. ”

Ma Lan nodded, and stopped talking about it. Li Linfu can't keep his name alive, and now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, he can't overturn the case. Of course, the bad things that you have done all your life with a meat waist knife can end well, and God will not open your eyes. Although Li Xiu is the son of Li Linfu, he is completely different from his father, and he is really a pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

This guy is a science maniac, obsessed with turning Maren's vision into reality. For him, that's the happiest thing ever. Ma Lan can understand him, there are very few such people in later generations, but he has heard too much.

Soon after the opening ceremony, Ma Lan left Qiuzi with the new army of Anxi and headed west. Things on Anxi's side have stabilized, and this undefeated army naturally can't be idle all the time.

This time, the team was extremely large, in addition to the Anxin Army, there were also thousands of people from the Ma family's workshop, all of whom were going to cross the green mountains and rush to the river together. The master craftsman Li Xiu was also among this group, and his task was to rebuild the Majia workshops in various places west of the Green Mountain, and officially began to cast cannons in batches in preparation for the Anxi army fleet to be equipped with artillery. These things simply can't do without him, so he has to come too. (To be continued......)
