Uncle Li's deep and solemn voice echoed in the sky above the Loyal Soul Temple, and it never dispersed for a long time. Well, some people in the shrine knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Some of the old ministers even wept bitterly. Uncle Li was so excited that he picked up these old comrades-in-arms and Aiqing one by one, walked quickly to the outside of the Loyal Soul Temple, and repeated the edict just now to the more than 6,000 soldiers waiting outside the door.

I jumped out of the ancestral hall, with tears in my eyes, knelt on one knee, and shouted in front of Uncle Li: "Here, we swear to His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor!" ”

More than 6,000 tearful Tang warriors knelt on one knee and read their oath to this enlightened and great imperialist leader:

"As soldiers of the Tang Empire, we have not been alone since then, half of us have become the cornerstone of the Tang Empire, and half have become the blue bricks on the wall of the Great Wall; The tranquility of the country and the people is the value of our survival and the mission of our existence. Live and die, we have nothing to fear......"

More than 6,000 proud emperors have made a promise to His Majesty the Emperor that they will keep for the rest of their lives! These oaths will also become the strongest pillars in the hearts of every Tang Emperor [***] people.

Finally, for a whole day, the opening ceremony and the military parade were an unprecedented success, and the effect was very good, as I expected, but in the expectation of most of the students present, even Uncle Li only knew to give a thumbs up and say yes in the end. In fact, there are three main functions of the military parade, one is to express deterrence to the outside world. The second is to express deterrent power to the domestic people. An important reason why many emperors in ancient times were keen on military parades was that military parades could show the royal force, financial resources, and the emperor's sense of authority. Third, military parades can also strengthen the cohesion of the domestic population. However, such cohesion is sometimes blind, and can lead to a miscalculation of the national defense of their own country by a part of the population, and to a culture of advocating force in society. This is like a person watching too many police and gangster movies that fight and kill, a kind of force hints.

At least for the time being, the effect of this military parade ceremony and military exercise has far outweighed the negative significance, which has made Uncle Li and others full of positive praise and evaluation of the establishment and implementation of the entire military academy, and affirmed the work attitude and rigorous style of all the staff.

The old man was even more happy, and a military general carefully asked me about the training method here, and made their own opinions on the new equipment in the academy, and gave a very high evaluation to the use of short-handled throwing and two-bladed short-handled axes, what is this? In fact, these things are crooked things from TV and fantasy novels, but to be honest, the destructive power of the short-handled throwing spear with a two-bladed short-handled axe is fierce, and I, Xi Junmai and Duan Yun, as well as a few more accurate and familiar hands, have demonstrated these items, not only destroying the shield ten steps away from the opposite side, but even the armor behind the shield has been destroyed beyond recognition by this medium-range strike weapon.

Uncle ----------------------------------------------------------- Cheng and others also enthusiastically joined the demonstration team, and Uncle Li's posture of throwing guns won unanimous praise from the big guys, thinking that Uncle Li, the great emperor, His Majesty's actions are exemplary, and the sycophants are like a tide, which makes Uncle Li, who is in a happy mood, extremely emotional. It was only after more than a dozen short-handled throwing guns and double-edged short-handled axes that the inspection of new weapons was completed.

However, those civil officials had a great interest in the buildings and cement pavement in the college, so Zhong Hua, an expert in building materials with half a bottle of water, gave a detailed explanation to those people.

When they heard that it took less than a month to build this concrete avenue, and that the buildings inside the college had been completed in less than half a year, they became even more interested in cement and lime, which were new building materials and construction tools.

Then he continued to visit the dormitories and dining halls of soldiers and officers, and a considerable number of the veterans who were present and had confirmed or were about to join the General Staff were very interested in the lecture hall and the sand table and rest room arranged for the staff of the General Staff here, and they were even more curious about the rows of back chairs, one or two of them were like little children looking around the room.

"Virtuous son-in-law! Good! Today, the college can achieve such results, and the virtuous son-in-law should be the first credit! Uncle Li patted me on the shoulder very kindly, watching a group of old men like dozens of years younger in the sand table studio directly began to practice the past examples, the fierce discussion and argument made people feel that all this is so harmonious, the only discordant is only Uncle Cheng's old guy, who is now fighting with another old general for the control of the wooden sofa, of course, the result ended with Uncle Cheng winning the victory by force, but not long after, seeing that the big guys all came to the sand table to make a biao, Uncle Cheng joined the big collective, The voice is simply overwhelming, causing the contemptuous eyes and foul language of countless meritorious veterans, which really makes people sweat coldly on their foreheads.

Hearing Uncle Li's praise, I quickly restrained my spirit and replied respectfully: "Don't dare, in fact, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts, if it were not for the selfless support of my father-in-law, as well as the joint efforts of my colleagues, my son-in-law would have managed to achieve today's scene." ”

"Today, the flag-raising and the ceremony really look good, especially the orchestra conductor and those flag-raising movements." Uncle Li gestured unsatisfactorily. Nonsense, that posture must be handsome, just the action of throwing the flag tail, it took five days to practice, and the few flag-raising students who practiced wanted to die had the heart to die, so that this effect was practiced.

"The flag-raising ceremony is not only a good look, but also a symbol that my Datang is like the rising flag, flying high on the land of Kyushu......" After explaining the meaning and function of the flag-raising ceremony to Uncle Li, Uncle Li nodded again and again, and a pair of eagle eyes lit up like two scorching flames.

"By the way, son-in-law, how about we discuss?" Uncle Li's expression looked a little embarrassed, what are you doing, I couldn't help but prick up my ears and continued to maintain a deferential expression: "Father-in-law, just make it clear, as long as the son-in-law can do it, even if it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, ice and snow, the son-in-law can give you ......"

"Okay, okay, the loyalty of the virtuous son-in-law, the old man is very ......" Uncle Li squinted his eyes and said: "Those military bands, can the virtuous son-in-law give them to the old man?" ”

"Huh?!" What does the old guy want to do here? Don't you think it's not fun to show off here, and you're going to take it back to the palace, knocking and playing all night long?

"Virtuous son-in-law, the old man asked you, but I just want to build such a flag stand outside the palace, according to what the virtuous son-in-law said, every time the morning sun rises, the national flag will be hung, and it will be collected when it falls, so that my subjects in the Tang Dynasty can see my Tang ......."

Looking at Uncle Li's surging saliva, longing eyes, and fanatical expression, I was completely dumbfounded, and Uncle Li's narcissistic tendencies began to attack again. The flag class appeared more than a thousand years in advance? Oh, the cake seller...... I don't know if the Space-Time Administration will go crazy because of this, suddenly shatter the void or something, rush out and catch us, and throw us into the Jurassic without mammals to go on an adventure.

In desperation, he had to agree to Uncle Li's request. Of course, he also proposed to Uncle Li to wait for the old generation of military bands to replace the old with the new and cultivate a new military band before playing for His Majesty.

Uncle Li understood and agreed to my small request, but asked me to bring the military band to the palace guards within half a month.

Outside the gate of the Datang Military Academy, Uncle Li didn't get on the horse, but just stood there silent for a long time before he said to me standing beside him: "Virtuous son-in-law, come and come, today is the ceremony, the peak of the academy's military appearance, it is really beyond my expectations, I will ask you, what are your requirements, just say it." ”

----------------------------------------------------------- the ministers on the side all stopped talking, the scene fell silent, all staring at me, silent, Uncle Li's words of promise are really heartwarming, the prince's face changed slightly, as if he had the posture of wanting to speak, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing beside him, pulled the placket lightly, and closed his mouth angrily.

"The son-in-law has nothing to ask for, I just hope that Your Majesty can allow the Military Academy to train and send more loyal soldiers to the country for my Datang." This is the truth, our reputation is loud enough, in the whole Chang'an City, nine out of ten know the second male of the house, and the other one is either deaf or still nursing in his mother's arms. As for the official position, we are not rare, my father and the palace maid sister have told me that the foundation is not stable, and I must not be arrogant and arrogant, especially when I go to the court and fight with others, it is too tiring, although the money in the family does not dare to say that the wealth is comparable to the country, but the income and dividends of more than half a year alone are enough to make the rich in Chang'an.

There is money, there is reputation, and there are a lot of beautiful mothers-in-law in the family, what are we missing? There is really no shortage of left and right looks.

"You child, what a word! Such a great achievement, how can it not be rewarded?! How can I be at peace? Uncle Li smiled and pretended to be angry. We had to laugh dryly on the sidelines.
