Chapter 2 Departure (II)
Early the next morning, Liu Yu got up early to pack up, settled the house money, and was ready to go on the road. Suddenly heard a burst of giggling laughter, a teenage boy pointed at Liu Yu and said: "Grandpa, grandpa, look, a strange person, he doesn't wear clothes, he is wrapped in animal skins!" The old man who was called grandpa by the little boy said: "Xiaoqi, don't be rude, this little brother should be a hunter in the mountains, so he will dress like this, you quickly apologize to this little brother." Liu Yu glanced at the little boy named Xiaoqi and said, "Grandpa, it's okay, it's not a big deal." Do you know about the Bokan Military Academy, and what are the requirements for recruiting cadets there?" It turns out that the little brother also wants to go to the Bokan Military Academy, there are no special requirements for admission, as long as you are a resident of the Dragon Empire, you can sign up under the age of sixteen, and now there is still half a month before you sign up, as long as you have a skill in military affairs, after all, the empire is now in urgent need of military talents, and the pressure from the orcs and demons is too great, and fortunately, the wars between the orcs and the demons have been giving us time to breathe, or I don't know what to do!" the old man said.
"Thank you for your advice. Liu Yu thanked. "Little brother, since you are also going to Bokan Military Academy, why don't you go with us, and there will be a good response on the way. "Thank you grandfather, if there is anything I don't understand, please give me more guidance." Oh, by the way, my name is Liu Yu, you can call me Xiaoyu, haven't asked your surname yet?" Liu Yu hurriedly responded, the first time I went out, it was good to have a care on the road. "Xiao Yu, that's what I call you. My surname is Zhang, my name is Zhang Wenyu, and this is my grandson Zhang Tianqi. The old man Zhang Wenyu pointed to the little boy and said.
"Grandpa Zhang," Liu Yu called out respectfully.
Hearing Liu Yu's title, Zhang Wenyu thought to himself, he was a sensible child, and agreed: "Xiao Yu, if you want to go to the city, it's better to change the clothes on your body, after all, it's still too unusual to dress like you in the city, and it's better to change into ordinary clothes." ”
Zhang Tianqi grimaced on the side and said: "That's it, if you keep dressing like this, I dare to say that you will be arrested before you enter Bokan City." ”
Looking at Zhang Tianqi's frowning appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just replace it, you don't have to curse me like this." ”
After changing into a coarse cloth clothes, Liu Yu and Zhang's ancestors and grandchildren embarked on the journey to Bokan City again, and with Zhang Wenyu's leadership, Liu Yu felt that the journey was much easier. Through the conversation with Zhang Wenyu, Liu Yu has a better understanding of the Dragon Empire, and Liu Yu's many novel ideas also impressed Zhang Wenyu.
After a few days of trekking, the walls of Bokan City were already in sight. Zhang Wenyu stopped and said to Liu Yu: "We are about to enter Bokan City, Xiao Yu, what major are you going to study at Bokan Military Academy?"
Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about Bokan Military Academy, Grandpa Zhang, what majors does this academy have?"
Zhang Wenyu said: "Bokan Military Academy has five university majors. Command Department, Combat Department, Reconnaissance Department, Medical Department and Engineering Department. Graduates of the command department are all probationary officers, starting from the most basic level of officers, and can be promoted by virtue of military merits. The combat department is a place to train warriors, charging at the front line, fighting orcs and demon strong war races is their duty, and they are also the soldiers with the highest death rate. The purpose of the Reconnaissance Department is to obtain information about the enemy and provide commanders with the necessary information. The Faculty of Engineering and Medicine are unique to the Bokan Military Academy, and the Faculty of Medicine is not only for the treatment of soldiers wounded on the battlefield, but also for the general public. The Faculty of Engineering is responsible for the development of weapons and the study of engineering and construction. We humans can't compare to orcs and demons physically, so we can only find ways in weapons and fortifications, which is also the original intention of the Bokan Military Academy to establish the engineering department, but there is not much experience in this area, so we can only grope for it, and now it is only beginning to take shape. Xiaoyu, which one do you want to learn?"
Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "It's better to have a command system, and to win the war, you must have an excellent commander, and it feels best to command thousands of troops." ”
Zhang Tianqi on the side shouted: "It's better to fight, rushing to the front to fight with the orcs and demons is the most majestic, I am willing to fight to the end for the human race!"
"It's still the same choice as your father, I think back then, your father also went to the battlefield from Bokan, became a general, fought with the orcs and demons for many years, and finally died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death, you can choose the combat department if you want, but you must become a heroic warrior, and you can't fall into your father's reputation!" Zhang Wenyu said, already in tears, obviously thinking of his son who died in the battle and feeling sad in his heart.
Hearing his grandfather's words, and seeing his grandfather's sad appearance, Zhang Tianqi's mood also fell. Seeing such a scene, Liu Yu said: "In the future, I will definitely try my best to take care of Brother Tianqi, Grandpa Zhang, you can rest assured." It's not too early, let's go to the city and find a place to stay. ”
"Look at me, I can't help myself when I think about it. Come with me, there is an old man in Bokan City, and I will live in his house for the first time. Zhang Wenyu wiped his eyes and said.
Entering Bokan City from the west gate, Liu Yu and Zhang Tianqi were deeply attracted by the prosperous scene of the city, after all, they were still children, and they had never been to such a big city, Liu Yu had lived in the mountains since he was a child, how could he have seen such a scene! At this time, it was the evening when the lights were on, and the streets were full of people coming and going, and the cries of all kinds of vendors came and went.
The main road connected by the gate was wide enough for eight carriages to travel side by side, and the street stretched forward with no end in sight. "As the capital of Boban Province, Bokan City is the most prosperous city within a radius of thousands of miles. Zhang Wenyu explained, "Because Boban Province is located inland, and there are Malayas in the northwest, it is not bordered by the orc and demon territory, and it is difficult for the orcs and demons to invade, so it has made it prosperous." It also made Boban the richest province in the empire, and half of the empire's taxes came from here. ”
"What about the situation in the other provinces?" asked Liu Yu curiously.
"The Tuman Province in the northeast and the Tuku Province in the southeast are located in the eastern part of the empire, adjacent to the orcs and demons, and are the frontier of the empire's defense, relying on these two provinces to resist the invasion of the orcs and demons. The province of Bora in the southwest, bordered by the sea to the south and the Malayas Mountains to the west, had a mild climate and was the granary of the empire. It's just that they are often disturbed by some orcs living in the water, but fortunately, these orcs can't land for too long to be saved. The central province of Qilong is the capital of the empire and the political center of the empire. Zhang Wenyu briefly introduced the five major provinces of the empire.
After walking along the avenue for a long time to the east, I came to the door of a huge mansion. The five-meter-high vermilion gate is closed, and there is a small door on the left and right for people to enter and exit. Ten warriors in armor stood at the door, looking imposing. Under the gatehouse are two red lanterns, each with a golden word "Guan" written on them.
After standing in front of the door for a long time, Zhang Wenyu whispered: "Okay, we are here, you wait here for a while, I will go and cast a name post first, and then you can go in." With that, he walked straight to the small door on the left.
