I am the king in troubled times Chapter 1 The auspicious leader of preparing for war
Jixiang since March in Wangdu after the recruitment of advertisements, qualified candidates since the beginning of May began to go to Jixiang, the Ministry of Education according to the expertise of the personnel for a unified distribution, such as the literary star Zhang Qin, the arithmetic master Niu Fen's second son Niu Er, Danqing saint Bao Shiqing and others directly into the research institute work, the professional knowledge into a book to form a teaching material, leaving the spark of the spark inheritance.
These people will spare one day a week to teach, auspicious existing ten comprehensive schools will usher in a learning event every month, not only children, some parents and adults will also spontaneously come to listen to the lecture, this desire for knowledge and the unremitting spirit of blessing deeply shocked all parties from the royal capital, some of them even sacrificed their rest time to give lectures to the people, won a piece of praise and gratitude from the people.
The auspicious academic atmosphere is much worse than that of the king, but the people here are different from the kings in that they are really studying, not mixed with any additional interests, and the thirst for knowledge surpasses the so-called elite class too much, in order to be able to listen to the lectures of the great Confucian, some people even do not eat or drink for a day by the door of the school.
With this large-scale recruitment campaign and the tide of free people migrating at the end of last year, the image of auspiciousness in the hearts of the people of Daxia has changed from the initial disgust and barbarism to a fair and free future place. Many people with a skill spontaneously went to Jixiangling to make a living with the psychology of luck, and the real talents and scholars were all given preferential treatment without exception, and after the news came back, it formed the current spontaneous immigration boom.
Zhao Sheng bent his spine because of this, and most of the idle people who came to try their luck had to scold and scold and take advantage of the excitement and return disappointed. At this point, the people of Daxia realized that auspiciousness had unconsciously become a place of people's yearning.
He Long's family and others from the same village were the second group to move to Jixiangling, and when they arrived at Jixiang, Hunan West Avenue had been completed, and they were assigned to Lianhua Town in the south of Jianye Town. In May, they had already met with He San's family and had the opportunity to visit the commercial street of the 18th district, where there were three shops belonging to He San, and everyone was envious.
At present, He Long's family takes sheep raising as their main means of livelihood, and there are five acres of paddy fields behind the brick and tile houses in the two entrances, so they have no worries about life for a while. Huzi worked in a tin mining factory, earning at least two gold coins a month, and his life was much better than in Hejia Village, and the government rarely disturbed the daily life of the people. The family is self-sufficient, and sometimes sells vegetables and game to the street traders who roam the countryside, and also earns some money for oil and salt every month.
Huzi's eldest son has been arranged to study in Hedong Academy, and he goes home for two days every ten days, He Long pondered that the next year he would send his little grandson to kindergarten, and the family worked hard for several years to live the life of a city person in the store in Jixiang City.
Qian Duoduo has been busy lately, and he is worthy of the name of Mr. Qian. Nowadays, the institute has more than a dozen professional research departments, such as the Institute of Literature, the Institute of Arithmetic, the Institute of Materials, the Institute of Gunpowder, the Institute of Mechanics, the Institute of Medicine, the Institute of Government, the Institute of Education, the Institute of Microbiology, and the Institute of Sociology.
The news came from the fourth and fifth of the supervising royal capital, and the current royal capital has long since lost the bustle and prosperity of the past, and nearly thirty percent of the shops have closed their doors, showing the state of depression.
At this time, Wang Xuan thought of a well-known sentence in later generations, which was called "Prosperity, the people suffer; As Hegel said, the only lesson that mankind can learn from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history.
Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and sometimes knowing becomes ignorance, and it can only add a sum to the case teaching materials of later generations, and it is also a contribution.
The internal construction of auspicious has not been delayed due to the change of the current situation, and it is proceeding as usual step by step, but the recent performance of the Government Council is a little sensitive, and all war-related materials are being frantically hoarded through various channels.
News came from the second and third one after another, and the Zhang and Liu clans, who were loyal to the eldest prince, had begun to explore the invasion of the Chen and Donghe territories loyal to the second prince in the south. Further south of the Donghe Territory is the Watchful Territory of Linxingyao Lake, which is a neutral territory, but whether it can escape this shocking catastrophe Wang Xuan does not have expectations, although the Jixiang No. 1 stronghold is built here. Wang Xuan was concerned that once the Chen family and Donghe were occupied, the dumping profits of auspicious goods would be stripped of a layer.
People who come and go auspicious to do business have an intricate network of interests behind each family to support, Wang Xuan is not afraid that the business will not be done, but there is a nail stuck in the arm and it will be difficult to sleep and eat, if possible, Wang Xuan hopes that this situation will never appear.
The eldest prince has begun to tempt, and the situation of the second prince is a little dangerous. The second prince has no intention of taking the throne, and his subordinates can only fight for their own battles, striving to protect themselves. In this way, fifty percent of the combat power can only be exerted by one or two, which is far less efficient than the territory commanded by the eldest prince with unified and coordinated command. In Wang Xuan's words, it was only a matter of time before the leaders loyal to the second prince were destroyed, and if there was no external help, the overthrow would only be in an instant.
Having said that, from an auspicious point of view, an equal balance between the two sides is the best option.
After some discussion with the people of the Government Council, Wang Xuan decided to send troops to support the Chen Clan Territory and the Donghe Territory, with a number of 50 people, equipped with newly developed gunpowder grenades. Jixiang and these two territories are natural allies, and it is understandable to help each other, both to win favor and test the practical effects of new weapons, so why not. It's just that this move is to publicly show that the second prince is on the side, and if he wins, he will have no worries, and if he loses, everything will be over.
The 50 men were selected from the internal guards and defenders, and the 50 men carried 500 Type 1 grenades to the Chan territory, which was on the front line of the war, to test the performance of the grenades.
On 15 July, the auspicious and sunny sky on the southern border of the mainland was a good weather for the exercise. Each factory also has a day off for this purpose, so that everyone can come to cheer and watch the grand ceremony.
There were five troops participating in the exercise, namely the Dongshan Pass Garrison, the Xishan Guard, the Jixiangcheng Garrison, Wang Xuan's Internal Guard, and the Chengbei Public Security Patrol.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the military exercise officially began, and the first item was the military parade, and the five hundred-person party was fully armed and passed through the East Gate Square of Jixiang City in turn. They were tall and high-spirited, and they walked through the square in unison, attracting a round of applause from the onlookers.
Wang Xuan sat on the city gate and looked at his army, when the square team began to walk through the city gate, Wang Xuan's heart gradually became cold-blooded, and his blood began to boil, at this time he felt a sense of security that he had never had, and even had the illusion of being able to sweep the world.
At this time, the reading team is also doing its best to show the best side to everyone, and I hope to be recognized and reused by Wang Xuan. The shame of two years ago will be washed away with blood, and today's military parade is no longer simply a competition of spirit and skill, but a snatch of the opportunity to wash away the shame, and a qualification battle for revenge.
After the column, there is a personal skills competition, first a physical fitness test, and the personnel have to go through three assessments: weight-bearing long-distance running, armed swimming, and crossing obstacles, and finally the top three are evaluated. This was followed by individual combat, archery, battlefield first aid, and grenade throwing, and the top three were awarded the 'Medal of Bravery', which is the highest medal of honor outside of wartime.
After the individual event competition, there is a team competition, with temporary fortification construction, team weight-bearing cross-country, and various formation queue demonstrations. One of the most important is the group weight-bearing cross-country, which is timed by the moment when the last place finishes at the finish line, and the test is the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance.
Finally, there is an actual combat exercise, with five groups drawing lots to fight, and the winner group competes for the final king honor.
The entire military exercise began at 10 o'clock and ended at 17 o'clock, and the physical fitness, fighting, and archery skills in the individual events were all won by Wang Xuanwei, and the grenade throwing event was won by the Dongshan Pass.
The weight-bearing cross-country in the team event was also won by Wang Xuanwei, and the construction of temporary fortifications was won by Dongshan Pass, and the queue was picked up by the security patrol.
In the actual combat project, Wang Xuan's guards won a miserable victory, Dongshan Pass ranked second, Xishan Guards ranked third, and the public security patrol team ranked bottom.
Even so, Wang Xuan still praised the security patrol team, most of them are retired disabled people, and today's performance has greatly exceeded Wang Xuan's expectations. They were not afraid of the disabled body, and leaned on each other with one arm and one foot to launch a decisive charge, even if there were several white lime marks representing death in their bodies, they did not fall, and the other party had to throw them to the ground, tie them with ropes, and draw out special guards.
The captives had long since forgotten the current environment and were completely immersed in the Ji-Chi War, where they struggled and resisted, and some even attacked the guards with their mouths. The blood-red eyes gave Wang Xuan great stimulation, war is war after all, and there will be no reservations because of the good and evil of human nature, and the only thing that supports everyone is survival.
The results of this exercise made Wang Xuan understand that the combat effectiveness of the auspicious army was much stronger than he imagined, and the people who sent them were struggling to survive in the cursed land, so that they understood that if they were not strong, no one would carry the burden for them.
