"Hello principal!"
When the students came in, they all raised their heads and chests, and saluted.
"Okay! Du Shu, Xiang Shibi, everyone, please sit down. Just like before, don't be restrained!"
Zhao Hong returned to the chairs surrounding the table and sat down, gesturing for all the students to sit down.
"Principal, I heard that Yu Jie, Cao Youwen and other students are going to serve in the northwest frontier. The students and others requested the principal's military order to let us also serve in the northwest army!"
Du Shu, on behalf of all the students, couldn't wait to speak out.
"Principal, I am worried about the death of my minister. As disciples of the Emperor and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, let us serve the country and share your worries!"
Xiang Shibi followed, his tone equally urgent.
"Everyone, please sit down and let me explain in detail."
Zhao Hong secretly had a headache.
There are only a limited number of students who can go to the northwest frontier. The three fronts of the Song Dynasty, northwest, Huaidong, and Jinghu, must be taken into account, and they cannot all go to the northwest.
It seems that before talking about heart-to-heart motivation, one must first comfort these ambitious students.
"Principal, can't we change if Cao Youwen and Yu Jie go to the northwest? The students also want to go."
Meng Gong carefully took the cup of tea, his tall body slightly bent.
Nowadays, not only ministers, but also teachers and students must be careful in everything.
Unlike other young students, who are not as good as others, it is easier not to join the officialdom.
"Military information is coming from the front. The Tatars are heavily armed, and a hundred thousand troops are going south to attack Xixia. This is a war to destroy the country, and it is likely to affect the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I want to send some elite soldiers and generals to the northwest to prepare for a rainy day."
Zhao Hong didn't change his expression and fooled Meng Gong.
To the south of the Song Kingdom is the Jin Kingdom. Who knows if the Mongolian army has ended its Western Expedition. However, the news that Cao You heard that Yu Jie was going to the northwest spread so quickly that students like Meng Gong were also ready to make a move.
"Meng Gong, Du Shu, and you. Cao Youwen and Yu Jie went to Shukou. Are you a little disappointed?"
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and picked up his tea cup.
These good generals are now all passionate young people. Who doesn’t want to make contributions?
"Principal, the student is willing to go to Shukou and serve as deputy generals to Cao Youwen and Yu Jie. Please give me your permission, principal!"
Sure enough, Meng Gong looked solemn and asked for orders with his fists clasped.
"Principal, the students would like to go to Shukou, even a soldier in the army. Please give me permission, principal!"
Du Shu asked for orders, equally impassioned.
"Are you willing to serve as deputy generals to Cao Youwen and Yu Jie?"
Historically, Meng Gong was Yu Jie’s immediate boss.
"Principal, Yu Jie is talented but lacks practical skills. When the students are here, I can make suggestions for them and make up for the shortcomings. Don't worry, Principal."
The war for the next ten years will be in the northwest. If you don't go to the northwest, why don't you stay in Zaoyang?
As for making achievements, as long as there is a war, it is not easy to achieve.
The other students were silent. It was obvious that Meng Gong's words represented their thoughts.
"I also want you all to go, but if you go, who can you rely on for the entire Jinghu North Road and Huaidong Road? You can't favor one over the other."
Zhao Hong shook his head and said warmly.
"Principal, students..."
Meng Gong persisted, but Zhao Hong stopped him.
"Meng Gong, I appoint you as the military wing doctor, the commander of the military equipment, the commander of the Xiangyang Prefecture and the Zaoyang Army, and your brother Meng as the deputy commander. After you return, intensify the training of the Zhongshun Army. Within ten years, I want one hundred thousand elite soldiers."
"Students obey the order and thank you!"
Meng Gong's face was red, and he knelt down on the ground, grabbing the ground with his head, and "bang bang" was heard.
The emperor has arranged it this way, how can he say no. Moreover, Jinghu North Road borders the Jin people, and Xiangyang Prefecture and Zaoyang Army are both frontier towns. He has a heavy responsibility, so how can he slack off.
"Du Shu and I will be appointed as the deputy commanders of the Huaidong Road armies, and Xiang Shibi will be the commander of the cavalry. You two will serve under Du Gao, the deputy envoy of the Huaidong system. Within ten years, there will also be ten people on the Huaidong Road. Thousands of elite soldiers."
Zhao Hong was holding the tea cup, his eyes burning.
"I will appoint the rest of the outstanding students. I have an agreement with Wang Gang, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road, to restore the Central Plains within ten years. You cannot let this principal down!"
With Du Shu, Xiang Shibi, and a group of students from the Jiangwu Hall, the quality of Huaidong's officers was greatly enhanced, and Du Gao no longer had to complain.
"Students obey the order! Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
Du Shu, Xiang Shibi and other students knelt on the ground.
"Let's all get up. Don't be concerned about the position in front of you, but remember the school motto of Jiangwu Hall: "Serve the country and the people, sacrifice and contribute." You are all still young, and there is still a long way to go in life. Can the Song Dynasty be revived? The nation Whether we can rise up or not rests on your shoulders.”
Zhao Hong was profound, and his words seemed to be addressed to himself.
No matter what, Meng Gong is a talented general in the army and an excellent student in the martial arts hall. His position cannot be lower than that of Cao Youwen and Yu Jie. Otherwise, it will inevitably be difficult to convince the public.
"Students please obey His Majesty's teachings!"
The students saluted again, and although their words were cliché, they were solemn.
Zheng Tu was astonished and sweating all over his face.
These young guys are definitely lucky to meet an emperor like Zhao Hong who likes to hire new people.
I don’t know, is it the luck of the Song Dynasty?
At noon, the students left reluctantly and with their own concerns.
The guards ushered in a seeker. Zhao Hong was startled and blurted out.
"Li Shuo! Why are you here?"
He looked around, but Yan Chun was nowhere to be seen.
The person who came was none other than Yan Chun's servant. He came to find him. Could it be that Yan Chun also came to Jinling?
Zhao Hong's heart was immediately filled with expectations.
"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Yan has asked me to come down and send you a letter."
Li Shuo was neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed and took out a letter.
"Wait!"
The general of the guard was so angry that he stopped Li Shuo from coming forward. He glared at him with an unchanging expression, took the letter, and presented it to Zhao Hong.
It is simply unreasonable for a common man to not kneel down in front of a saint.
The other two guards stared at Li Shuo with eager eyes, their hands resting on the handle of the knife.
"Shopkeeper Yan, where is she? Why didn't she come in person?"
Zhao Hong took the letter and asked subconsciously.
When Yan Chun was mentioned, his heart beat faster.
It is most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman, not to mention that you owe the other person a favor, a big favor.
Without Yan Chun, maybe he would have been buried in the post office in Tokyo City.
"Back to Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Yan has important matters in Huaidong and cannot come over. Maybe she will come to see Your Majesty after a while."
Li Shuo's words made Zhao Hong disappointed, and he nodded in confusion.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"
Li Shuo looked at the unkind-looking guards on the side, bowed his hands, and then retreated.
"Your Majesty, this guy! How can you say that he is an acquaintance of your Majesty? What a big arrogance!"
The guard general said angrily.
"Looking at his eyes, he seems to have evil intentions. If he dares to act rashly, I will let him go immediately!"
Another guard muttered quietly.
"It's just ordinary people, don't worry about it."
Zhao Hong was startled and waved his hand. He opened the letter and read it, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Genghis Khan! You've made me so uneasy!"
The Mongol army returned from the Western Expedition, and Genghis Khan consecrated his brothers in Mobei. The Mongol army was recuperating, and it would not be long before they would go south to attack Xia.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building. It seems that his plan to strengthen the northwest defense is not too early, but a bit late.
This Yan Chun, the dragon has seen its head but not its tail. How does she know so many side things? Where is she?
