Winter passes and spring comes.
After the lively New Year's Day is over, the new year begins.
In early spring, thousands of students who had graduated from the Ming Military Academy lined up in the academy grounds.
Standing at the front is none other than the most outstanding student of this first class, Liu Buyi.
Liu Buyi is a tall man with a determined gaze.
Many students couldn't understand why someone from a scholarly family like him would be willing to do this stinky Qiu Ba.
Although Zhu Ying tried his best to improve the status and honor of soldiers.
But the habit that has been practiced for thousands of years cannot be completely solved in just a few years.
Even many people who are soldiers themselves still think so, especially some families with a long history, and they look down on people who serve in the military.
In the eyes of many people, sergeants are only useful during wars. Now that the Ming Dynasty is established and stable, it is necessary to rely on literati to govern this great country.
So after accidentally knowing that Liu Buyi's teacher was Liu Sanwu, everyone was surprised and shocked.
Fortunately, his burly figure made many students think that Liu Buyi should join the army and practice martial arts.
In all the subsequent tests, Liu Buyi has always been in the top three, which makes all the students admire him.
If literary scores are included, Liu Buyi is firmly ranked first.
At this time, Zhu Ying walked onto the school field’s generals’ stage.
Looking at the neatly organized thousand students below, Zhu Ying felt proud in her heart.
Every soldier here can be said to be his or her direct subordinate. In today's environment, the relationship between teachers and students is extremely important.
Those who betray are unacceptable to both our enemies and ourselves.
Coupled with the long-term ideological education of the military academy, the loyalty of these students is beyond doubt.
Loyalty is only one aspect.
The more important aspect is that these thousands of students, after entering the military, will support a large range of mid-level officers.
"I'll wait to see His Highness the Grand Sun!"
As Zhu Ying stood firm on the general stage, the leader stood up and shouted loudly.
Then thousands of students bowed and bowed with fists in their hands.
What a majestic sight.
Zhu Ying waved her hand, and her voice suddenly stopped. There was silence, waiting for His Highness Taisun to lecture.
"When I come here today, I believe you all should know clearly that I want to practice it for everyone."
"On the grassland, a new military academy will be opened this year. Simply put, it is called the Grassland Military Academy."
"Perhaps some students may wonder why they have to go to a college on the grassland after just graduating from a college in the capital."
"I am here to tell you that your current status is as a recent graduate of the Capital Military Academy. And after you go to the Prairie Military Academy, you will be the instructor of the Prairie Academy."
"There will be a large number of grassland people joining our Ming Dynasty. You can also take this opportunity to strengthen the difference between our Ming Dynasty and the grassland."
"How did you learn here? How will you teach them when you get to the grassland? I order you to build an army that belongs to our Ming Dynasty on the grassland, which is invincible, invincible, and capable of thundering in every direction. Invincible Cavalry.”
"Tell me if you can do it."
As Zhu Yinghuaying fell, the subordinates burst into loud cheers: "Yes!!!"
Military morale is available.
After Zhu Ying gave a simple lecture, he didn't waste too long. He would give all the sergeants a three-day holiday to arrange some things.
Once you go to the grassland, you may not be able to come back for several years or even more than ten years. Naturally, everything needs to be arranged.
For example, if you have a wife, children and elderly parents, you can also arrange for someone to go to your hometown to pick them up at the border.
All you need to do is record the location and name in detail.
Naturally, Zhu Ying will arrange separate escorts for the rest.
Things like this made many soldiers feel His Highness Taisun's caring heart, and many of them secretly vowed to build a truly strong army for His Highness Taisun on the other side of the grassland.
Without the leadership of a superior general, the chief officer this time is Liu Buyi, the outstanding graduate.
For this reason, Zhu Yingte appointed him as the deputy director of the grassland military base.
It is up to him to arrange everything related to the construction of the grassland military base.
The back hall of the college.
Zhu Ying summoned Liu Buyi alone.
"It's not easy. This time when I go to the grassland, I put all my hopes on you."
"Your responsibility is the most important and the most difficult, but I believe I am not wrong about the person. Although you have never been on the battlefield, I just think that you are the most suitable candidate."
"Many people have been recommended before you, and they are all generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. Even His Majesty is a little worried about you."
"I have blocked all of these. I believe you will be able to fulfill my instructions."
Zhu Ying said meaningfully.
This is not a lie to him, it is indeed the case.
Although the Capital Military Academy feels very powerful, most of the sergeants there have not been on the real battlefield, and some of them were still weak students before.
It was only after several months of high-intensity training that a huge change occurred in his body and appearance.
Although he is said to be frail, he is actually very different from the imagined frail scholar.
These days, even scholars have a lot of strength. If they are really weak, they will not even be qualified to participate in the imperial examination.
Unless you live in the capital, generally speaking, you have to walk hundreds of miles to take the exam. Maybe you are not very good at fighting, but your endurance is not low.
After hearing His Highness Taisun's instructions, Liu Buyi immediately clasped his fists and bowed and replied: "I thank His Highness Taisun for your appreciation."
"Please rest assured, His Highness Taisun. When we go to the grassland, I will try my best to create a powerful grassland soldier for His Highness Taisun, even if I use all my means."
Zhu Ying nodded, and then said: "Tell me, what are your ideas and steps for setting up a military academy in the grassland."
Liu Buyi heard this, thought for a moment and then said: "When I arrive at the border, the first thing I have to do is to select the location of the military base."
"Grassland military bases cannot be too far from the border as they are vulnerable to siege. They must be within reach of border officers day and night."
"The second is about attracting herdsmen. I heard that during winter, a large number of grassland tribes have already turned to our Ming Dynasty because they cannot bear the hunger."
"I hope that some of them can be selected, relieved of their labor, and joined in the military base."
"Herdsmen naturally know the conditions of the grasslands best, and they can also attract more herdsmen."
"The third one is about food rations."
"The grassland is barren, and training troops is very expensive, so we need more support from His Highness."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "You are Liu Buyi. I just asked you to share your thoughts, but in the end you came up with three things for me."
"Three are enough. The first two and the last two are all requests from me. Liu Buyi, I really have you."
Liu Buyi quickly said: "I don't dare."
Zhu Ying waved her hand and said: "I will do as you say, but before winter comes this year, I want to see the flag of my Ming Dynasty flying on the grassland."
"However, I still want to remind you that although Beiyuan has not gained any benefits at the border, people are still panicking on the grassland now, and it seems that there are signs of collapse."
"But if you really want to go crazy, you won't be able to resist easily."
Liu Buyi quickly replied: "I understand that I will act with caution and put the overall situation first."
Zhu Ying nodded: "Okay, let's do it. With such good conditions, I believe that I can successfully complete it."
Liu Buyi saluted and said, "I sincerely comply with the order of Your Majesty Taisun."
After leaving the palace, Liu Buyi did not say to go back to the academy directly, but instead came to Liu Sanwu's house.
"Student Liu Buyi, meet the teacher."
After entering the door, Liu Buyi quickly saluted Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu snorted coldly and said: "You also know that I am your teacher, but I can't afford it now. You are now a new member of the Capital Military Academy, and His Highness Taisun has great trust in you."
"How can an old guy like me be qualified to be your teacher?"
Hearing this, Liu Buyi said with a smile: "Teacher, once I am a teacher, I will always be a father. You are my teacher at any time."
"Besides, even if you say you don't want to be my teacher, you are still my fourth grandfather."
Hearing this "Fourth Grandpa", Liu Sanwu waved his hand helplessly and asked the surrounding servants to go out, leaving Liu Buyi alone in the lobby.
Liu Buyi and Liu Sanwu are indeed from the same ancestry, and Liu Sanwu is senior and older. Even if they meet the head of the Liu family, they must be respectful.
Liu Buyi is considered an outstanding young man in the clan, and this is why he is appreciated by Liu Sanwu.
I just didn't expect that after this guy came to the capital, he would abandon literature and join martial arts.
Nowadays, there is still a sense of opposition between literati and warriors. Most literati look down on warriors and call them Qiu Ba.
As a top student at the Capital Military Academy, Liu Buyi was naturally featured in the Capital Newspaper.
The Capital Di Daily will have a special section for a long time to introduce some things about the Ming Military Academy, which can be regarded as a kind of soft propaganda to the people.
As for Liu Buyi, he had been published in newspapers a lot. Zhu Ying was also very satisfied with him and deliberately cultivated him.
With the spread of the Di newspaper, the Liu family naturally knew that Liu Buyi went to the Military Academy in the capital.
Therefore, I wrote to Liu Sanwu specifically to inquire.
That's why Liu Sanwu complained once, but still wrote a letter to the clan, explaining everything very well.
Liu Sanwu took the tea brought by Liu Buyi and finally calmed down a little. He looked at Liu Buyi and asked, "You are coming out of the palace now."
"Tell me what arrangements His Highness Taisun has given you."
Hearing this, Liu Buyi knew that what had happened just now was over. After hearing the inquiry, he said with some pride, "His Royal Highness Taisun asked me to go to the grassland and be responsible for the establishment of the grassland military base."
Hearing this, Liu Sanwu was shocked and immediately put down the tea and asked, "Is this really true?"
Liu Sanwu was old and experienced, so he naturally knew the meaning behind this grassland military base.
It's just that he didn't expect that the grandchildren of his clan would have such great luck. He had just graduated from the military academy and was assigned such a big job.
Liu Buyi smiled and replied: "The Ministry of War should already be going through the process. In about half a month, the students will be leaving."
Hearing this, Liu Sanwu said three times: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"I didn't expect that in the end you chose the right path. Such an important matter is in your hands. It seems that His Highness Taisun really trusts you."
"Although the grassland is barren, the Ming Dynasty is rich today. With His Highness Taisun's arm, he will inevitably spend a lot of financial resources to support the construction of the grassland military base."
"In this way, you will have the opportunity to make achievements, especially on the grassland, there are many opportunities, and you will not have to worry about war."
"In the future, the glory of our ancestors will fall on your head."
Liu Sanwu was very happy.
A warrior, that depends on what kind of warrior he is.
How could the famous founding generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Lan Yu be simply called warriors?
That is the reward of being knighted.
Since ancient times, titles have been awarded immediately. Although literati are pretentious, they are completely different compared to these heroes and generals.
As a literary leader, Liu Sanwu had a lot of status, but after all, he was only a Hanlin bachelor. After he became an official, he also left his posthumous name.
But the title is different.
As long as there is a title, it is inevitable that the name will be left in Qingshi, not to mention the entire grassland. What is certain is that Liu Buyi's name will definitely be left in Qingshi in the future.
As long as you have some achievements, it is not difficult to obtain a hereditary title. If you can make great achievements and become a first-rate Duke and Marquis, it is not impossible, and there is great hope.
At this point, Liu Sanwu felt a little envious.
This is the true glorious ancestor and the descendant of Mengyin.
After listening to this, Liu Buyi said humbly: "This is all appreciated by His Highness the Grand Sun, perhaps because he took the lead before."
"When going to the grassland this time, the students will definitely do their best to build the grassland military base for our Ming Dynasty."
Liu Sanwu nodded happily: "If it's more, I don't have anything to explain to you."
"I am very happy that you have such a future."
"It can be seen from his current actions that His Highness Taisun has great ambitions, and the changes in the Ming Dynasty will naturally be great in the future."
"But after you arrive on the grassland, remember to recharge your batteries and don't deliberately start a war or get credit."
"His Royal Highness Taisun has a very broad plan, and you are still young. You must be calm and thoughtful. Don't ruin His Highness Taisun's long-term plan just because you are young and energetic, or for the sake of some immediate interests."
"Whenever you encounter anything, if possible, you should ask His Highness the Grand Sun for advice. It doesn't matter even if it costs you some money."
"After all, the grassland is too far away from the capital. You have gained such an important position at a young age, and it is inevitable that you will arouse the jealousy of others. Therefore, His Highness the Grand Sun's trust is the most critical."
Liu Buyi heard this and said seriously: "Thank you very much, teacher, for your teaching. The students will remember it in their hearts."
