Chapter 142: Extemporaneous Speech

As the first noble son shouted that he wanted to learn swordsmanship, there was a second and a third......

Even with the civilian swordsmen who came to participate in the competition, there were more than fifteen people who wanted to apprentice.

Of course, most of them should be hot-blooded, but they are just coerced by the crowd. There's no guarantee that they won't be hot for three minutes, and after thinking about it for two days, they'll forget about it, or they won't be able to do the first thousand swings of the sword and give up.

But there may not be no people who want to study seriously, who have been inspired by Luo Ming's performance to be passionate about swordsmanship, and who can persist for a long time.

Luo Ming himself, as well as his junior brothers and sisters, are all such people.

After all, this era is not the same as the modern age of the earth, and although peace is generally maintained on the surface, no one can guarantee that war will not suddenly break out tomorrow.

Cultists set off large-scale invasions, noble rebellions, succession wars, bandits crossed the border...... Basically, no one can really go without a few wars in their lifetime.

If he is a civilian, as long as he is weak, there is generally no one to pull him to fight, otherwise it is tantamount to wasting the military rations and weapons for him in vain.

But as an aristocrat, even women may appear on the battlefield in times of emergency to boost morale, and men need to actually participate in the battle - even if they are lame in martial arts, they must at least serve as officers, so that the soldiers and low-ranking nobles below can see the attitude of fighting together, advancing and retreating together.

For the aristocracy, learning martial arts is originally a compulsory course for modern earthlings to learn mathematics - it's just that some people learn more, and some people are just lazy in junior high school mathematics, but there are very few people who really don't learn at all.

As a result, there are definitely many more people who can persevere in hard training than in modern times – a required skill and a hobby are completely different things.

In the modern age of the earth, there are still enough twenty or thirty students in a martial arts hall, and Luo Ming feels that there is no reason why he can't do it better than this.

As a time-traveler from the Celestial Empire, he was still a martial artist before the crossing, and he also had the desire to start a sect and inherit martial arts in his subconscious.

On a practical level, this is also very lucrative.

No matter what kind of knowledge is taught, the teacher is the teacher, and the student is the student - although it is not as exaggerated as the Celestial Empire, the world also has a strict teacher-student relationship.

Although it is not as good as the apprenticeship system of craftsmen, where apprentices can be used as unpaid laborers for several years, they are definitely not bad.

As a swordsmanship teacher, corporal punishment of disciples, as long as it is not too heavy, can even get the consent of the other party's parents, in order to please the teacher, I hope the teacher can open a small stove in private, and it is not for nothing to help the teacher serve tea, send water, buy vegetables and cook.

In addition, it seems natural for a disciple to accept challenges and dueling invitations from some idle people for his master, and even to fight with a student of another school of swordsmanship with a sword-cut real sword for the sake of his master's reputation.

When a person like Luo Ming, who can be regarded as a master, is willing to teach some real kung fu, the honorarium and filial piety that can be obtained are quite a lot.

Moreover, what kind of group of students will evolve into after graduation, the most familiar is the Whampoa Military Academy.

Students will take the opportunity to learn together to get closer to each other, form a network of relationships between seniors and juniors, support each other, help each other, and even form a political faction...... And their teacher is the core of the network, the leader of the faction.

"Please be quiet, please. ”

As Luo Ming said this, everyone was generally quiet, although there were still some whispers, but it was not so noisy, and everyone could hear what Luo Ming was thinking.

"I am very grateful for your kindness, with your passion for swordsmanship, even if you don't have a teacher, you will definitely be able to reap the results! I can only help you a little, pass on the experience of my predecessors to you, and help you avoid detours. ”

Who doesn't like to hear such flattery, and if not be happy about it, at least it doesn't make the mood worse - and most of the people in front of them are already smiling, obviously taking the flattery seriously, or at least not scoffing at it.

"If you want to learn something from me even so, I'd welcome it.

Not to mention the merits of becoming a hero and building a legend, at least you can protect yourself in danger, or make a little merit on the battlefield and be able to show off to others.

Unfortunately, I have just become the lord of a land, and I can't let it go forever, and stay here until May, or at most June, and then I have to return to the territory.

If you don't have anything important to do, then you can come and stay in my territory for a while, and almost every day I can find time to dedicate to the practice of swordsmanship. Even if it's a few years of study, it's no problem.

But there must be many of you who are so entangled in mundane things that it is impossible to abandon everything, ignore their own responsibilities, and indulge in swordsmanship for several years. ”

This sentence is to the point, and many people subconsciously nod their heads.

Some of the nobles had to marry, while others had to learn accounting, paperwork, and law...... Taking over the family's domain, the commoners could not afford to study on a long-term basis, and had to find time to earn money, and it was difficult to stay far away from Brandon and for far away for too long.

"However, I will stay at Brandon for at least two more months, and during these two months, if you are interested, you can come and visit me, and I will do my best to help you in swordsmanship.

It is a great honor and joy to be able to help more people in the way of swordsmanship, and to be able to make my swordsmanship used by more people!"

As he spoke, Luo Ming bowed.

Then, he raised his head and said loudly, "Thank you again for your love and support for my swordsmanship, and I have one more request here."

Please don't overbrag about me, I'm still a young man in my twenties, and I may be able to achieve more in the future, on par with many old-timers, but not today.

Heroes are not built in a day, and neither are people. Whether you and I are still walkers on the path of swordsmanship, there are still almost endless roads ahead of us, and we need to cross step by step, and I am only a few steps ahead now. ”

Then, thunderous applause.

Although Login improvised such a short speech on the fly, haste does not necessarily mean shoddy.

The audience not only heard about Luo Ming's deeds, but also witnessed the swordsmanship of Charlotte and Luo Ming himself, and the admiration generated by seeing is believing is not something that can be dispelled in a sentence or two.

Luo Ming's words reflect more of his strengths - self-confidence but not arrogance, and helpful and friendly.
