Chapter 178: Graduation Ceremony

The Lingbo standard battalion, the new cadets in the camp, waited for the long-awaited opening ceremony. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to the usual practice, the graduation ceremony of the new first tour has long ended, and it should pass by with the new seventh tour, but this year is an exception, and the notice is prominently pasted on the notice board of the standard camp: the ceremony of sending off the old and welcoming the new will be held together.

Ling Bo's ninth standard, the shame that once annoyed Hu Li and was depressed, turned into a prominent reputation because of the grassland war, and Qiu Xingchen, the new head of the standard camp, never seemed to know what modesty was, and not long ago he did a big thing that made people angry and not worth his life.

"Lingbo's ninth standard, Qinghui's first battalion. ”

The wall in front of the school gate is engraved with the words of Douda, which is not conspicuous, and is painted bright red.

The news spread, and the battalions secretly inquired, and when they learned that it was Qiu Xingchen who sold himself and boasted, the impeachment report drifted into the Ministry of Civil Affairs like snowflakes.

"Instructor, my father can't bear it anymore, let me pass the word, you changed it to the first battalion of Xiangyun, he wrote it for you and signed it off, the first battalion of Qinghui, this is suspected of bullying the king. ”

An Yuanhou is outstanding, both a standard battalion student and a prince of Xiangyun, and he dared to suggest changing his sentence, so that Qiu Xingchen could even say and scold out: "Bully the monarch?" Lao Tzu also scolded the county lord, the future monarch, and beat you less, according to what you say, don't you deserve to die no matter how many times you die, get out, run five laps on the school field, and dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

Seeing the outstanding encounter, no one dared to talk more, after a long time, I slowly saw some doorways, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was silent, the military department did not know the power, the military and civilian departments pretended to be deaf and dumb, behind Qiu Xingchen's arrogance, I am afraid that there is the tacit consent of the prince's mansion, or even the secret instruction of the county lord of Qinghui, to let him change his words, unless it is the old king's order.

"Scarface has no guts, Qinghui's first battalion, and he is a child. ”

Hua Yue learned of Qiu Xingchen's feat, and told Mei Ying about the reactions of various ministries and mansions, and thought that he was not making a big fuss enough, Mei Ying stared at the rubbings sent by the secret guard, and the more she looked at it, the more annoyed she became: "Eldest sister, you want to call yourself the first battalion in the world, so in front of the standard camp, there will be groups of warriors challenging every day, and you will become the world in the ring." ”

"If there is no threat from the enemy, how can you know how to forge ahead, what to be afraid of, what to be afraid of, to win and to be ashamed. I really didn't expect that Scarface would use the art of war so flexibly that the proud soldiers will be defeated and the mourning soldiers will win, and this alone is stronger than the old fox. ”

Most of the ministries and governments think that it is the county lord's instructions, with the help of the glorious achievements of the grassland, to establish prestige in the army, it is difficult for the prince to do, and it is a taboo for the prince to reach out to the army, Mei Ying let the prince reprimand him several times, and he can't justify that he didn't know in advance, otherwise Qiu Xingchen would not be able to eat and have to go around.

"The Art of War, Sister, Kyoto is not a grassland, and swords and guns can't solve the problem. Come and see, is this written by Takagaki or not?"

Hua Yue climbed onto the table and looked at it for a while, the font was very familiar, eighty percent was Gao Yuan, but he always felt that the single word was right, and it didn't look like it was from his handwriting, Mei Ying was strange about this.

"Xiao Yuanzi's words, but he can't say this, he doesn't dare to say it, and grandpa can't pass that level. ”

"It's definitely his word, it's a mess!" Mei Ying put away the rubbing, and pestered Hua Yue to say the old saying: "Sister, let me go back to the standard camp, if I don't participate in the ceremony, I will not be considered a graduate, how ugly it is to be uneducated." ”

"Go, go, you ask Qing'er to go, she wants to approve and I don't object. ”

"Originally, Qing'er was about to nod, but Scarface would not let me go back. Alas, Qinghui First Battalion, when you are out of the mortal and into the saint, I have to be busy for several days, I really don't know how Yan Ning survived this year, with him by his side, not fighting, there are more than enough things to do. ”

Hua Yue was not happy: "Then you go to the palace, please take back Your Majesty's order, let him stay in the grassland forever, hmph, yesterday you asked me if I left, go back to the standard camp, I'm afraid I want to meet early, escape the cumbersome etiquette constraints in Kyoto." ”

Mei Yingrang pierced her thoughts, and after a while, she was worried about Gao Yuan: "Where is he coming to live? Cuihua Palace will definitely not work." The deputy commander of the former battalion of the Praetorian Guard, if he wants to enter the palace on duty, his residence cannot be too far from the palace, and every inch of land in the inner city is expensive. Say something, is it possible to let him live in the barracks?!"

Hua Yue didn't have a headache for this, the residence was just on the surface, Yan Ning entered Beijing, and the relationship between the three of them had to have a saying, she knew that the little junior sister was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and if it dragged on, there would be a little son in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, and when she thought of this, her face turned red and her voice was small: "Why don't you live in the Qin Mansion first?" Mei Ying refused: "No, even if I agree, grandpa will obstruct it." ”

In Kyoto, Hua Yue and Mei Ying have nothing to do for Takagaki to live, and at the Lingbo Standard Camp, the ceremony reaches its climax.

"A year ago, the three patrol soldiers of the standard battalion participated in the grassland war, and more than 100 people were buried in a foreign land. How do you feel when you see the school motto in front of the battalion gate? Arrogance or pride? Arrogance, we have this qualification, four schools and one general, which standard battalion in the empire has this precedent: a seventeen-year-old lieutenant and a seventeen-year-old general! Proud, not for ourselves, but for those martyrs who died in battle, one hundred and thirteen people, seven hundred and sixty-two enemies were killed, and the record was the first!

"Loyal to the Empire, Fight Bravely!"

On the stage, the instructors were impassioned, and off the stage, the students were excited. The results of the Lingbo standard battalion were announced by the military department, Hua Yue, Qin Rufeng, Lei Ming and Gao Yuan, the four captains were from the king's own title, and everyone knew that the general was the county lord Mei Ying - the standard-bearer of the Lingbo standard team and the commander of the grassland war.

"New Patrol Soldier: Takagaki!"

The general instructor who presided over the ceremony fell, and the cannon roared next to the school field, and the captain of the broken military academy went out to fight, and the eighteen salutes were sent off, the etiquette stipulated by the Imperial Military Department, and the ordinary general, the commander of the five battalions, saw off only thirteen cannons. Qinghui has been established for more than 3,000 years, but there are only seven military captains, and later without exception they became the ministers of the imperial military order, the highest position and the highest honor of soldiers.

On the day Gao Yuan returned to the standard camp, Qiu Xingchen announced the date of the ceremony, the agenda had already been listed, he wanted to give a speech on stage as a model of the new patrol soldiers, Gao Yuan was unwilling to live or die, and it was no problem for him to lead the troops to charge into battle, and his legs would tremble when he gave a speech on stage, and he stammered and made people laugh.

"Mei Ying forgot her roots and didn't return to the camp, or you would have come to give a speech in that round, and you wouldn't be able to speak, then salute on the platform, more than 100 instructors in the standard camp, each salute a salute, hehe, break the military academy captain and salute, it's exciting to think about. ”

Qiu Xingchen sneered vigorously, and the two chief instructors of Hua Qin beat the side drum: "Don't listen to Scarface's nonsense, the county lord's identity is respectful, but he can't help himself, and the prince and His Majesty won't agree if they want to come back." Forget the basics? Lose what he said, most of the county lord's money was spent on the standard camp, and now the most important thing in the standard camp is silver. ”

Gao Yuan was so ashamed that he was about to cry, this is not a disguised scolding him for forgetting his roots, Mei Ying is the county lord, and most of his money is donated to the standard camp, and he has not paid a penny as a school captain, and Yan Ning has intercepted all of it, and to this day he doesn't know how much money it is per month.

"Instructor, I don't like to hear that. The three of them reprimanded Gao Yuan in and out of words, Yan Ning was no longer silent next to him, and couldn't help but shout to Gao Yuan: "Now Biaoying is the most short of silver, what about me, I have everything, but I have no money, and I am deceived by five hundred good horses a year, how much is it?!"

"Yan Hou, that's your merit, it has nothing to do with him. Qiu Xingchen retorted slyly, Hua Qin's two chief instructors looked at each other and smiled, fortunately, Scarface had already thought of a countermeasure, Gao Yuan was good at bullying Yan Ning and couldn't speak, and sure enough, people kept accounts.

"Don't blame him, Captain Yulu, I took it all, a big family, I have a knighthood and no benefits, and the daily expenses of Yanhou Mansion, he doesn't pay out. Yan Ning left the impression of gentleness and subtlety on the three instructors, and it was really uncomfortable to suddenly become spicy, but she fought back with a smile: "The Remnant Academy, I am the third generation, and more than 100 disciples have all recognized the expenses, I heard grandpa say that there are not many people in the second generation, there seem to be three people, and the officials are not small-"

In the verbal confrontation, the three instructors were all defeated, and they wanted to take advantage of Yan Ning's arrival to extort a sum of money, but in the end, they had to pay out of their pockets, and the Remnant Soldiers' Academy, there was no room for you to talk back, there were more than 100 disciples of the third generation, and the annual expenses were not small, and Gao Yuan's little money was not even a fraction.

"I deducted all the money from the old fox, and my grandfather never received it. Yan Ning threw out a bigger stone again, and smashed all three of Qiu Xingchen unconscious at once, and the second generation of disciples did not contribute, and the master would be severely punished for his crimes.

"I'll just go on stage. Gao Yuan saw that the three instructors couldn't answer, and turned his elbow outward: "Don't cry poor, I'm really a fool, Mei Ying has a word first, never tax the tribe, what about you, there is no tax, but it is stipulated that you must pay tribute to the Hou Mansion regularly, plus the tax paid by the caravan, the annual income is more than six million, and the expenditure is only more than four hundred, not counting the profits of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"It's hard to guard against thieves!" Yan Ning pretended to be angry and ignored him, and smiled to the bottom: "I brought four thousand war horses, and left five hundred to the standard battalion, six patrol soldiers, one good horse per person, and the Lingbo standard battalion will become a cavalry in the future." ”

When I was going to give a speech on stage, Takagaki didn't write it in the middle of the night, so he stopped Excellence early in the morning: Don't take a thousand war horses for nothing, one word for one horse, you have to give me the whole draft, and I will read it at that time. When he heard this, he scolded angrily: Scarface is ruthless, he asked me to go up too, I will write it to you, who will write it for me.

The brothers and sisters discussed for a long time, and they couldn't escape from the speech on stage, and the length of the speech could not be scarred, and finally the two agreed to talk less and salute more, and they could win a reputation for modesty.

Gao Yuan is dressed in a neat student uniform, no matter how much Scarface threatens, he will not give in, I am a graduate soldier, not a captain of the empire. After leaving the ranks, he first gave a military salute to the brothers of the new first tour, walked up to the stage and saluted the instructors one by one, turned around and raised his hands again, and saluted the instructors and trainees in the audience.

"Before entering the camp, I had never stepped out of the cottage, I was an expert in hunting, I didn't dare to think about fighting, and the first time I killed people and vomited for several days. The standard battalion learned to fight in six years, and I can't hunt anymore, so I can only fight for the empire in the south and the north, and the military camp is my home. ”

Salute, get off the stage, thunderous applause, Qiu Xingchen has read the manuscript he handed in, and the content of the speech is not in line with the horse's mouth, but I have to admit that Gao Yuan's words are exciting, the imperial officer is to be ready to fight in the north and the south at any time, and regard the military camp as his home, which is the loyalty to the empire from the heart.

When it is the turn of excellence, it is more polite and less talking: "No matter when and where, no matter how my identity changes, I will always be a student soldier who has graduated from the standard camp, and I will always remember the oath of loyalty to the empire and brave fighting." "Prince Xiangyun, Marquis of An Yuan, has a special outstanding identity, and won thunderous applause in a few words, and his speech is not inferior to Gao Yuan.

The short and spectacular ceremony ended with the sound of a trumpet, and the new Cadet went to the camp office to receive orders to take up their posts, and according to custom, the vast majority of them would be assigned to serve in the garrisons of Xiangyun's provinces, so that the royal family could monitor the army of the county king.

"Kyoto!"

"Kyoto!"

"Kyoto!"

Exclamations one after another, the transfer orders stamped with the big seal of the military department looked at it again and again, that's right, except for Gao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo, all of them were transferred to the Guards Army, the only difference was that they were not in the same battalion, and most of them were patrol commanders. The Guards, the elite of the Empire, one of the three standing armies defending Kyoto, the new patrol soldiers immediately understood that it must be the credit of Mei Ying, who divided all the partners who had been with him for five years into Kyoto, and also crossed the threshold of the city guard.

The two chief instructors of Hua Qin also received an order from the military department, one went to the grassland, served as the commander of the Shouling Cadet Corps, and the other entered Beijing, taking charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Reward and Punishment Division, and the military rank was promoted to general at the same time.
