On the first day of March in the first year of Xingqing in the Song Dynasty, it was early in the morning at the Jinling Lecture Hall and on the teaching field.
The school flag is flying high and fluttering in the wind. The morning light after dawn bathes the entire Jinling Lecture Hall and also shines on thousands of Jinling Lecture Hall students. They are lined up neatly on the school field, looking around, waiting for the upcoming Jinling Lecture Hall. The opening ceremony of the first batch of students of Jiangwu Hall.
Brand new uniforms, young faces, golden morning light, and full of vitality seemed to herald the new life of the Song Dynasty court.
Although those who are complacent are enthusiastic, even those who have ulterior motives are unconsciously solemn at this moment, losing the cynicism and carelessness of the past.
At the opening ceremony of the new semester, the emperor and the principal came to speak in person. This was like meeting a saint and could last a lifetime.
Several people with bruises and swollen faces who had been in a group fight yesterday accidentally bumped into each other. They all felt embarrassed. They each smiled and looked away.
"The principal is here!"
I don't know who whispered, and all the students raised their heads and chests, and looked at the high platform in front of them without squinting.
"The principal is here!"
The instructor's high-pitched voice sounded, and the instructors and students were watching. The principal, Emperor Zhao Hong, accompanied by a group of instructors and instructors, went up to the high platform in front of the trainees' queue.
"stand at attention!"
Tian Yi, the chief firearms instructor, shouted loudly, and all the students stood up straight.
"Reporting to the principal, all 1,200 new students of the first phase of the martial arts hall are here. Please give a speech by the principal!"
Tian Yi ran forward, stood solemnly, and reported loudly.
"Instructor Tian, return to the team!"
Zhao Hong nodded slightly.
It was all very orderly, and it was obvious that Tian Yi and the instructors had practiced it with great pains. However, they are able to adapt and master it, which is also related to the fact that the instructors were soldiers before.
From ancient times to the present, the requirements of soldiers are basically the same, and the requirements for spirit and spirit are basically the same.
"Yes, Principal!"
Tian Yi made a standard turn and ran back to the first right-hand position in the front row.
The morning light is warm and envelopes everything in the world. Zhao Hong stood on the high platform, facing the young faces in the audience, his eyes full of expectation.
These young students were all the hope in his heart.
"Dear students, I am Zhao Hong, the principal of Jinling Martial Arts Hall. Welcome everyone to Jinling Martial Arts Hall!"
Seeing Zhao Hong, who was smiling on the high platform and taking the lead in applauding, the students felt excited and enthusiastic applause sounded.
The emperor of a country came to deliver a speech. No wonder the young students cheered for joy.
"Dear students, for a country to be strong, it must first be strong in the military, and the strength of the military lies in the quality of its officers. It has been 98 years since the disgrace of Jingkang and the Song Dynasty's migration to the south. The journey to Lin'an has become an eternity. Restoring the Central Plains will always be a dream. The military of the Song Dynasty was so weak that even a small Li Quan in Huaidong had his own troops and killed important officials in my court. I could only swallow my anger."
There was a hint of heaviness in Zhao Hong's words unconsciously.
"The failure of our military in the Song Dynasty was first due to the failure of the officers. Soldiers are the courage of generals and the soul of generals. If the generals have no blood, how can the soldiers be brave?"
The students below were silent, looking at Zhao Hong on the high platform and listening carefully.
"If the soldiers are not strong, the country is not strong. The country must build a new army, an army with faith. I hope that you will take the world as your own responsibility, serve the country and the people, sacrifice yourself, study hard, and become a qualified officer!" "
Zhao Hong raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"Sacrifice and serve the country and the people!"
"Sacrifice and serve the country and the people!"
On the school grounds, the deafening roars of the students followed.
Serve the country and the people, sacrifice and contribute, this is the school motto of the Jiangwu Hall, and the students already knew it the moment they entered the Jiangwu Hall.
Zhao Hong walked down and walked slowly past the queue of students. When he met a brave man with his head raised and his chest raised, he patted his shoulder to show encouragement.
Of course, don’t forget Yin Yin’s advice.
This is the future and hope of this nation.
"Yu Jie, you are heroic and talented. I have heard of your name when I was in Imperial College. But you are bohemian and like to speak loudly. You want to do your own thing. I have high expectations for you."
Stopping in front of Yu Jie in the front row of the queue, Zhao Hong's eyes were full of hope.
"Students should remember His Majesty's teachings!"
Yu Jie felt slightly embarrassed and quickly clasped her fists in a salute, extremely solemn.
Yu Jie, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, was rich in strategies and knew the art of war.
In the second year of Chunyou's reign, Yu Jie went to guard Sichuan. After taking office, he abolished bad governance, selected and recruited talents, promoted farming, rectified military discipline, and greatly boosted the military's strength. In view of the characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry that are good at rushing and rushing, Yu Jie adopted the strategy of building cities to defend Shu. He built more than ten cities such as Dahuo, Diaoyu and Yunding along the mountain passes and important roads on both sides of the Jialing River, Fujiang River and Yangtze River. They relied on the mountains as fortresses and fortified themselves according to dangers. , extensively stored grain and developed military equipment, forming a fortress defense system centered on Chongqing. Repeatedly repulsed the Mongolian army's attacks on Sichuan.
The Mongol Khan Meng Ge died under the Diaoyu City, thus changing the world situation. This is all the credit of Yu Jie.
In the first year of Baoyou's reign, Lizong of the Song Dynasty listened to the slander and summoned him to return to the court with a secret gold medal order. Yu Jie knew something had happened, and became very angry and became ill. In July of the same year, Yu Jie died suddenly in Sichuan at the age of fifty-six. After Yu Jie's death, Song Lizong removed all of Yu Jie's official positions and persecuted his family members and cronies.
Yu Jie's son, Yu Rusun, took the meaning of "should be like Sun Zhongmou", and later changed his name to Yu Shizhong, became the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, and was later killed by the Prime Minister Jia Sidao.
Yu Jie, one of the two great "military gods" of the Song Dynasty, died violently at the hands of the Emperor and civil servants of the Song Dynasty. His family was ruined, how could the Song Dynasty survive forever?
"Lu Wende, a young hero, a scholarly scholar. The five deadly sins in life are arrogance, jealousy, rage, greed, and lust. You must remember it and never commit it!"
Facing the young Lu Wende, Zhao Hong put on a serious face and warned him seriously.
Among the seven deadly sins, "gluttony" and "sloth", he selectively gave up.
How can the students of the martial arts hall and the dignified soldiers of the Song Dynasty talk about laziness and gluttony?
"Students must obey the principal's instructions!"
Lu Wende's face turned red and he clasped his fists in salute.
Lu Wende, a famous general in the late Southern Song Dynasty. He started fighting the Mongols and fought on the front lines in Jianghuai, Jinghu, and Sichuan for more than 30 years, defeating the Mongolian army many times. Lu Wende relied on nepotism and colluded with the powerful minister Jia Sidao to support his own troops. The Southern Song Dynasty court relied heavily on Lu Wende, not only allowing him to build two towns in Jie, but also conferring him the title of Duke of Wei. In 1269, Lu Wende died of illness and was given the posthumous title "Wuzhong".
Lu Wende can be said to be the mainstay of the Southern Song Dynasty's resistance to Mongolia. He is criticized for using a large number of his tribesmen and fellow villagers to form a huge military group, and is even suspected of putting family interests above national interests.
Employ people to make the most of their strengths. These shortcomings of Lu Wende need the teachings of Jinling Martial Arts Hall and the timely fixing of the imperial court.
"Cao Youwen is a man of both civil and military skills, unparalleled loyalty and courage, and is worthy of a great responsibility. Work hard."
The evaluation of Cao Youwen is obviously higher than that of Yu Jie and Lu Wende.
Cao Youwen, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty and the twelfth generation grandson of Cao Bin, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, was famous for his loyalty. In the third year of Duanping, he fought with the Mongolian army at the Da'an Army in Shukou, and died in the battle with his younger brother Cao Youwanju.
Jinshi in history, a proper scholar, came to apply for the Jinling Lecture Hall, showing concern for the country and the people. On the plains of central Sichuan, Cao Youwen fought with the Mongolian army, which was known as "invincible in cavalry and shooting," for more than ten battles in the field, and almost never lost. At that time, it was difficult for anyone to match him.
Brother Cao Youwen doesn't need to worry about it, he can just use it boldly.
Seeing the strong and majestic Meng Gong below, Zhao Hong felt another kind of encouragement.
"Meng Gong, my expectations for you are... quite high!"
Meng Gong, a defense master in the Southern Song Dynasty, was born as a general. His great-grandfather Meng An and his grandfather Meng Lin were both generals of Yue Fei's tribe. In his early years, he followed his father Meng Zongzheng to fight against the Jin Dynasty in Zaoyang. After his father's death, he took over the Zhongshun Army.
In the first year of Duanping, Meng Gong participated in the Battle of Caizhou and joined forces with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty. After the Song-Mongolian War broke out, he commanded the two major battlefields of Sichuan, Sichuan and Jinghu, and single-handedly controlled the war on two-thirds of the front lines in the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the sixth year of Chunyou's reign, Fan Yongji, the former general of the Zhenbei Army of the Southern Song Dynasty and the then governor of Mongolia's Henan Province, secretly asked Meng Gong to surrender. Meng Gong was overjoyed and hurriedly wrote to the court to request approval, but Song Lizong refused. Meng Gong was disheartened and took the initiative to resign. Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty immediately approved Meng Gong's appointment. In September of the same year, Meng Gong died in Jiangling at the age of fifty-two.
Meng Gong and Yu Jie, the two war gods of the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Mongols, both died in vain at the hands of the big-headed monster named Lizong of the Song Dynasty. Lizong of the Song Dynasty destroyed the Great Wall. It can be said that they did a good job, but they were so stupid and shameless.
This big-headed monster still wants to steal his throne. If he succeeds, can the Song Dynasty be saved?
“The principal’s teachings should be taken to heart by the students!”
Meng Gong cupped his fists and saluted, speaking solemnly.
It seemed that the emperor indeed had high hopes for himself.
"Liu Keyong, eighteen years old, Liu Kezhuang's younger brother, prefers studying to fame, and you are here too!"
"Student thanks the principal for saving my brother's life!"
Liu Keyong blushed and saluted with clasped fists.
The Liu brothers were depressed and frustrated. Unexpectedly, their elder brother suddenly became a high official in the imperial court, and he also entered the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. For the Liu family, all the hardships have finally come to an end.
"Lu Yuanting is skilled in bow and horse, and extremely powerful. He is the grandson of Lu Fangweng, a great master of the generation. I hope you will study hard and one day remember to tell Naiweng to your family members."
The descendant of Lu You, the "Eternal Man", has astonishing power with an iron rod. In the entire martial arts hall, perhaps only Cao Youwan was as powerful as him. It’s worth cultivating.
"Xin Su, when you have a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou. Don't disgrace your grandfather Xin Jiaxuan's great name!"
He is also a descendant of Xin Qiji, "the most powerful man in the Southern Song Dynasty". Although his talent is far less than that of his grandfather, he can be regarded as a hero and has an offspring.
Seeing the tall and mighty Wei Jinyu, Zhao Hong smiled.
"Wei Jinyu, you are unruly and unruly... Yes, you still came to the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall. I am very happy!"
"Principal, that was before students, but things are different now!"
Wei Jinyu's face turned red and he quickly defended himself.
"Very good! Wei Jinyu, practice hard in the martial arts hall. I look forward to your performance."
Zhao Hong nodded appreciatively and walked past him.
"The way of true ambition is generous and heroic, and a playboy, but he is too content with the situation and lacks tenacity. Just take care of yourself."
The son of his teacher, Zhen Dexiu, has a kind and cowardly personality, and he doesn't know if he can survive the training in the martial arts hall.
"Xue Tan, you are more cautious than you are, but you are slightly less courageous. If you are afraid, you should correct it, if not, be more encouraging."
Prime Minister Xue Ji's grandson worked with him in the arsenal, and he was quite a nice person.
As for Xue Ji's other two grandsons, one came to Jinling Lecture Hall and the other to Jinling University Hall.
Is this the speculative mentality of not putting all your eggs in one basket?
