Chapter 314: The Great Change of Military Academy (Part II)

"Kill! Kill! Kill! When Zhao Yan came here, he saw rows of strong men standing on the school field, holding unopened steel knives in their hands, under the orders of the instructor, slashing forward again and again, with their movements, the dark muscles full of oil and sweat also rolled, filled with a kind of masculine beauty.

"You...... Are you sure these are the first students? Zhao Yan pointed to the muscular men on the school field, and asked with a look of disbelief, thinking that when he first came to the military academy, the meatballs rolling in the muddy water on the school field really impressed him too much, so that when he saw these muscular men in front of him today, he couldn't associate them together.

"King Qiyu, there are a total of two hundred and seventeen cadets in the first batch of the military academy, six of them really did not succeed and quit, and there are two hundred and eleven people left, of which fifty-one people are under the age of fourteen, these people are too young, and they are formed into a separate team, and now they are all learning the art of war in front, and the remaining one hundred and sixty people are all on the school field, practicing for half a day every day, and learning the art of war for half a day!" At this time, Yang Huaiyu stepped forward with a smile to report, and at the same time, his face also showed a little smugness, he was able to train a group of big fat people to look like this, and he did have the capital to be proud.

"It's hard to believe that in just one year, these people would change so much." At this time, Zhao Yan also had a few acquaintances from the strong men on the school field, such as Hu Yanqing, a little fat man, but now Hu Yanqing is full of key meat, and it looks like he really has a bit of the momentum of fighting a tiger general.

Hu Yanqing and the others who were practicing on the school field also saw Zhao Yan, but no one dared to come forward to say hello, after all, the whip in the instructor's hand was not vegetarian, and even if there was a mistake during the exercise, he would be whipped a few times. Not to mention leaving the school grounds.

Zhao Yan looked at the sweaty students in front of him, many of them were his cousins or cousins, but none of these people dared to complain, and they didn't even dare to make a mistake in their eyes, which made him nod with satisfaction. Yang Huaiyu is indeed worthy of being a member of the Tianbo Yang family, and in just one year, he has trained these people well, even if these people can't produce famous generals, but they are still very qualified to be sent to the army as middle and low-level generals.

"Huh? What's going on with that person? At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly saw a strange person in the crowd practicing on the school grounds, and pointed to the other party and asked.

Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai looked at Zhao Yan's fingers. As a result, I saw a middle-aged uncle with a big beard standing there in the crowd and practicing together, this uncle looked to be about forty or fifty years old, although the muscles on his body had not yet relaxed, but the head of his temples was already a little white, and the corners of his eyes and forehead were also a little wrinkled. Standing in a group of students who were less than twenty years old, he looked extremely conspicuous, no wonder Zhao Yan saw him at a glance.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai both showed a little embarrassed expressions, and finally Yang Huaiyu stood up and said: "The king of the county forgives the sin, that middle-aged man's name is Ma Derang, and he is the great-great-grandson of Ma Quanyi, the founding brave general of the country, and I are also the queen of the generals, but the Ma family has fallen badly over the years." There are no decent talents in the family anymore, and some time ago ......"

Yang Huaiyu said and introduced the situation of Ma Derang, and Zhao Yan was also surprised after listening to it. It turns out that this Ma Derang is not the first batch of students to come to lose weight, Ma Derang has an eldest son named Ma Tong, this Ma Tong is the first batch of students, but that Ma Tong is really not a weapon, after staying in the military academy for a period of time, he cries his father and calls his mother every day. No matter how he beat and scolded, he just didn't want to stay in the military school.

In fact, this situation like Ma Tong is not a special case. There were more than 200 students in the first batch, and seven of them were really unsuccessful. He couldn't even lose the fat on his body, let alone train them to become qualified generals, so in this case, Yang Huaiyu could only clean up these seven people.

For this situation, the families of the other six people didn't say much, but Ma Derang ran to the military academy himself after asking his son Ma Tong what happened to him in the military school, and asked to come here instead of his son, and no matter how Yang Huaiyu persuaded him, the other party was just unwilling to leave, and finally in desperation, Yang Huaiyu could only agree to let this uncle enter the military academy and practice and study with a group of cadets who could be his son every day.

In the end, Yang Huaiyu concluded: "According to my later understanding, Ma Derang has been determined to enter the army to serve the court since he was a child, but unfortunately their Ma family is too defeated, and there is really no way to enter the forbidden army, at most he can only hold a position in the Xiang army, which made him very disappointed, so he has been staying at home, and he has not forgotten to practice martial arts every day when he is so old, and later because of his son Ma Tong's affairs, he learned some news about the military school, which made him feel that it was an opportunity, so he came." ”

After Zhao Yan listened to Ma Derang's situation, he didn't know what it was like, he was moved and uncomfortable, although the generals of the Great Song Dynasty declined for various reasons, but there were also people like Ma Derang who were dedicated to serving the country, although he was no longer young, but the blood in his chest had not cooled.

"How is this Ma Derang's cousin in the military academy?" Zhao Yan finally took a long breath and asked, he admired such a person very much, and if necessary, he also wanted to help the other party.

"King Qiyu, although Ma Derang is relatively old, he is very willing to work hard whether it is training or learning the art of war, and he is more basic than other students, so he has always been good in the first batch of students, and when he experiences on the battlefield in the future, he should be able to become a qualified general." Yang Huaiyu is in charge of teaching in military academies and is most familiar with this aspect.

"This is the best, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can give priority to this Ma Derang, after all, he is not young." Zhao Yan nodded when he heard this, it is rare to meet such a persistent person, and he works so hard, he naturally has to help.

"Don't worry, the king of the county has already heard news from the imperial court that it is likely that troops will be used in Western Xia next year, and the first batch of cadets of the military academy will all be pulled to the battlefield by then." Zhang Zai also smiled at this time and said, these cadets trained by the military academy were originally prepared for the army, and only when they were on the battlefield could they display their true abilities.

"Yes, although the results in the military academy are important, the most important thing is their performance on the battlefield, and at the same time, their performance is also directly related to the future of the military academy, I hope that the court will pay attention to the role of our military academy." Zhao Yan also opened his mouth when he heard this, he had heard more than once about the use of troops in Western Xia, but this matter seemed to have been inconclusive, and he didn't know the specific time, so he had time to ask Zhao Shu.

Next, Zhao Yan was taken around by Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai in other places in the military school, and at the same time, the two of them explained the general situation of the military school, and then Zhao Yan knew that in the year he left the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai not only recruited a group of new students, but also recruited a group of instructors and managers, which Zhao Yan had already seen before, after all, such a large military school, it was not enough to rely on a few of them.

Speaking of the instructors of the military academy, Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai mentioned another person to Zhao Yan, that is, Yang Huaiyu and his father Yang Wenguang, after the old general knew about the military academy, he provided them with great help, such as most of the instructors of the military academy were personally selected by him from the army, not only know the art of war, but also have very rich practical combat experience.

Originally, these instructors selected by Yang Wenguang also had unlimited prospects in the army, and some people were very reluctant when they were sent to military schools, because they felt that after leaving the battlefield, they would also delay their opportunities and prospects for meritorious service.

With the passage of time, no one of those instructors complains about the life of the military school anymore, after all, compared to the army, the military school is not only more relaxed here, but also the salary is higher than the army, in addition, they also slowly understand the importance of the military school, knowing that with the development of the military school, their position will become more and more important, and they can even achieve a higher status than in the army, and they don't have to go to the battlefield to work hard, this kind of good thing can't be sought.

Just as Zhao Yan and the others were talking, suddenly there was a bell from the military academy, it was already noon at this time, and Zhao Yan could guess without asking, this must be the bell to remind the cadets to eat lunch.

Sure enough, after the instructors on the school field heard the bell, they immediately ordered the students to stop training, and then put the weapons neatly, if they were placed in an ordinary school, the next thing was for the students to go to eat with a bang, but the military school could not be so unruly, after the students put their weapons, they still lined up in a neat line, and then ran to the canteen under the leadership of the instructors, and then lined up to receive the meal, all the same as in the barracks.

It just so happened that Zhao Yan also wanted to see how the food in the military academy was, so he went to the canteen with Yang Huaiyu and Zhang Zai, and he had a meal.

The staple food at noon today is two steamed buns per person, each weighing half a catty, and there is also a large bowl of sweet potato noodle soup, plus one meat and one vegetarian dish, which are stewed mutton and boiled vegetables, Zhao Yan smelled it, the taste is neither good nor bad, this is not bad, after all, the meals of hundreds of people are made together, and they can be cooked and eaten without dying.

Zhao Yan prepared the meal and wanted to find a seat, but at this moment, he didn't expect someone next to him to suddenly stop him and say, "King Jun, you can pit us to death!" (To be continued)
