Chapter 832 They Are the Backbone of the Qin Dynasty! Don’t Enter This Gate if You Are Afraid of Death!
The heavy snow covered Neishi County with a layer of silver.
The people in other villages in Neishi County had already returned home and closed their doors. The families hugged each other to keep warm and resist the cold winter. Even the dogs that often played in the village huddled under the eaves and shivered, so that the village was cold and deserted.
But Chang'an Township was bustling with people.
More than a thousand young and strong villagers gathered in the designated area on the north side of Chang'an Township to set up stalls, selling game they hunted and mountain delicacies they collected, and even started fires on the spot to boil water and make soup.
On the banks of the Wei River, a little further north of the stall area, at the junction of Chang'an Township and Xianyang City, nearly 10,000 people set up camp on the spot. Even the flying snow in the sky and the cold wind in winter could not extinguish the passion in their hearts.
Suddenly, a call attracted everyone's attention.
"They are back!"
The strangers gathered here hurriedly opened the curtains, got out of the camp, and ran to the side of the road to look forward to it.
Under the gaze of everyone, thousands of elite soldiers wearing five layers of linen clothes and full body armor lined up in two rows and trotted back.
The back of each soldier seemed to be a steamer, with thick white mist rising. It was particularly magical when viewed from a distance.
Every soldier was following the head of the garrison, shouting in unison with murderous intent:
"Aben Tang! Give up! Aben Tang! Give up!"
"Don't stab my brother! Surrender! Don't stab my brother! Surrender!"
The onlookers could not understand what these soldiers meant.
But they could clearly see the crown on each soldier's head!
A baby wrapped in thick swaddling clothes looked at the gorgeous crowns and the strong and brave soldiers with shining eyes, waving his chubby little hands and laughing very happily.
He even shouted in his childish voice: "Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!"
Shen Tu Ao laughed heartily and said: "Jia'er has good taste!"
Stretching out a finger to scratch the tip of the child's nose, Shen Tu Ao looked at the running team with pride and pride in his heart: "Soon, Nai Weng will also join this team!"
"When the time comes, Jia'er will also congratulate Nai Weng!"
Shen Tu Jia, who was only two years old, could not understand such complicated words.
Just seeing his father happy, Shen Tu Jia also smiled happily, waving his two chubby little hands vigorously in the air, as if clapping.
Shentu'ao's wife Sui Ying quickly stuffed Shentu Jia's hands back into the swaddling clothes, and cast a helpless but loving look at Shentu'ao: "You! I know you are happy today, but don't tease Jia'er like this anymore."
"It's very cold today, Jia'er is just two years old, she can't be cold!"
Shentu'ao's smile suddenly became embarrassed, and he quickly said: "I'm happy!"
"Come on, put on this coat!"
"Not only Jia'er, Ying'er, you must not be cold either!"
Sui Ying said with a smile: "I have already put on three coats!"
Shentu'ao still insisted on taking off his coat.
But Shentu'ao had just taken off his coat when a silver fox fur coat was handed over from the side.
Shentuao handed his coat to Suiying, but his eyes were already in the direction where the fox fur coat was handed to him: "May I ask who you are?"
Jingpo held the coat in one hand and stretched it forward, with a smile on his face: "Gongdafu Jingpo, Jing Shouzheng."
"In the two wars of destroying Chu and Zhao, I served under Chang'an Jun's account, and have been allowed to study in the Qin Military Academy."
"From what this brother said just now, you and I were once comrades-in-arms, and we should be brothers in the future."
"We should help each other."
"This silver fox fur coat is softer and will not hurt the skin of children. My dear brother, there is no need to refuse."
Jingpo is almost old enough to be Shentuao's father.
But the phrase "brother in the same school" is said very smoothly.
Shentu Ao straightened his back and immediately bowed: "It's Captain Jing in person!"
"Shentu Ao, the doctor from Suiyang, greets Captain Jing!"
Jingpo smiled and waved his hand, and personally put the coat on Shentu Jia.
Seeing that Shentu Ao wanted to refuse, Jingpo changed the subject smoothly: "Doctor Shentu, is this your first time in Xianyang?"
Shentu Ao saw his son's eyes full of curiosity and grabbed the fox fur on the coat with his hands. After all, he did not forcefully reject the gift, but responded: "To be honest with Doctor Jing, Shentu came to Xianyang City last year to participate in the imperial examination."
"But before the exam, my son was seriously ill, so Shentu was unable to take the exam."
Behind Jingpo, the smiles on the faces of Jingchou, Zhaoyuan and others were a little more embarrassed.
They didn't even need to ask, they knew that Shentu Jia's serious illness must be the work of the local people and powerful people.
After all, they have done similar things!
Jingpo quickly skipped the topic and said with a smile: "Of course, Doctor Shentu can still enroll in the military academy."
"It shows that Brother Shentu is brave!"
Shentu'ao's face was a little more proud: "When destroying Zhao, Shentu repeatedly charged into the battle and shot a Zhao army captain with one arrow!"
"Later..."
Listening to the exchange between Shentu'ao and Jingpo, many people nearby gathered around.
Similar gatherings occurred on both sides of the road. Every prospective military academy student became a small core, spontaneously attracting compliments, flattery and solicitation from others.
"Dongdongdong~Dong!"
Until a quick and clean drum sounded, Jingpo stopped talking, and a bit of joy in his eyes could not be controlled: "The drums were raised, Brother Shentu, will you go with us?"
Shentu'ao immediately cupped his hands: "Of course I wish!"
She turned around to help Sui Ying put on the five-layered coat tightly, and even wrapped Shen Tujia into a small rice dumpling. She also told the tribesmen to take good care of mother and son, and Shen Tu Ao followed Jing Po's footsteps and set foot on the road together. .
All the people who set foot on the road looked at each other and smiled, bowed their hands in greeting, and then arranged themselves into a team according to the level of the crown on their heads, just like the team that just ran on this road, running towards the north!
At the same time, Daqin Military Academy.
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "When the military academy started, the eldest brother refused in every possible way and refused to come forward. He just stood in the audience and watched."
"But I promised that the big brother would come to commend the disciples when they graduate."
"Brother, you must never refuse me again!"
Ying Zheng nodded happily: "Since Brother Wang has already promised, Brother Nai will naturally not refuse."
At the beginning of the establishment of the military academy, the fundamental reason why Ying Zheng was reluctant to speak on stage was because he did not want to take away Ying Chengxuan's credit and glory.
But now, Ying Zheng believes that the light in Ying Chengyu will no longer be obscured by him!
Ying Chengyu suddenly showed a happy smile, and said with his right hand: "Brother, please!"
Ying Zheng also raised his right hand and said: "Brother Wang, please!"
The two brothers couldn't tell the order of precedence, so they stepped onto the high platform side by side.
Looking at the blazing eyes in the audience, and then looking at Shentu Ao and others who were jogging all the way to the military academy, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Open the door!"
"Anyone who wants to watch the ceremony can enter the school gate after verifying his or her credentials. They are not allowed to cross the gate."
"The rules of a military school are better than those of the army. Those who disobey orders will be punished according to military rules!"
"Instruct the new students to wait outside the school gate. They are not allowed to enter without orders!"
"Let the first-term students come forward and line up on the stage according to the names listed!"
The middle door of the military academy is open.
The crowd waiting outside the military academy immediately poured into the school along the middle gate of the military academy.
Even though everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, and even though many female relatives had never served in the military in their lives, everyone still followed the instructions of the military school disciples and quickly stood up in formation on all sides, without anyone making any noise.
In the military academy, Su Jiao put a crown on his head and shouted solemnly: "All the first-term students are included!"
"Line up according to the list!"
"Prepare your armor and weapons!"
Su Jiao stood at the front of all the first-term disciples of the military academy, looking around at everyone with serious eyes.
The more than 300 first-term disciples took action immediately. It only took more than a hundred breaths to arrange them according to the list, and quickly confirmed whether the armor and weapons on their bodies were in a ready-to-fight state.
Su Jiao shouted again: "Step forward together!"
"Walk!"
Su Jiao used the heel of his right foot as a support point, turned around and faced the dianjiang platform with a tall posture, and trotted away towards the dianjiang platform first.
Behind Su Jiao, more than three hundred disciples trotted to follow in unison.
When they arrived at the general stage, the formation of more than 300 disciples was not deformed at all. They just put their feet together to complete the formation on the spot!
Su Jiao took two steps forward, cupped his hands and called out: "There should be 351 disciples in the first batch of the military academy, but there are actually 351."
"Meet the king! Meet the school commander!"
Behind Su Jiao, 351 military academy disciples all raised their hands and shouted in a deep voice:
"Meet the king! Meet the school commander!"
Every soldier wears a plate crown with complicated patterns on his head.
The armor on each soldier's body is discernible.
Even though they were just watching this scene from a distance, the spectators couldn't help but get excited.
For the military academy, this is only 351 disciples.
But for Da Qin, this is the mainstay of 351 people whose military strength, intelligence, military strategy, government affairs, and title are all superior!
Ying Chengyu looked down at his disciples with a somewhat complicated look: "I will always remember that day."
"March 1, the eleventh year of the reign of King Qin."
"Da Qin Military Academy was officially established."
"The first batch of Da Qin Military Academy students should have numbered 1,000, but actually numbered 1,003!"
"You are all listed here, preparing to receive the first lesson of the Daqin Military Academy."
Under the high platform, Ying Fusu, Ying Gao, and Ying Ang looked ashamed.
The three extra people were exactly the three of them!
But they eventually left the military academy for one reason or another, and now they can only stand aside and watch the classmates who once took great care of them graduate successfully.
The complex look in Ying Chengxuan's eyes became more intense: "According to the original plan, you should complete your studies on March 1, the thirteenth year of King Qin's reign."
"However, on September 16, the eleventh year of the Qin Dynasty, you all followed my generals and went south, and successively fought in Dahongshan, Echeng, and Helvcheng. They attacked for thousands of miles, attacked Chu and defeated Zhao, captured the king of Chu, and merged the two kingdoms of Chu and Zhao. The territory is thousands of miles away.”
"This battle not only caused you to put your studies on hold, but also caused 216 disciples to die on the battlefield!"
"On March 21st, the 13th year of the reign of King Qin, you followed my general to the east and joined forces with the Qi State to go south. I relied on you to go deep into the army and serve as generals to help my general to destroy the Chu State and kill the King of Chu before returning."
"This battle will make you put your studies on hold again, and one hundred and forty-three disciples will be killed on the battlefield!"
"On February 3rd, the fourteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, you all followed my general to the north again and fought a bloody battle with the Zhao army at Fukouxing. This eliminated Zhao's ambition to destroy the Qin Dynasty soon. You also helped my general to attack the Zhao State and defeat the Yan State. , to avenge the king.”
"Although this battle caused you to put your studies on hold for a short time, it caused 257 disciples to die on the battlefield!"
"In the past, there were thousands of disciples in the first phase of Da Qin, but now there are only 351 left!"
A heavy atmosphere started from Ying Chengyu and spread to the entire military academy.
Death is always with Da Qin.
All the old Qin people are used to death.
But the death rate of 64.9% in less than four years still makes everyone's heart tremble.
Those who can study in the Qin Military Academy are not soldiers. They can at least serve as grassroots generals in the army and will not easily fight directly with the enemy!
As a result, so many people died! Died so quickly!
And except for 33 people who died of other reasons, the cause of death of all the remaining disciples was death on the battlefield!
Ying Chengjiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This is the Qin Military Academy!"
"Those who are afraid of death should not enter this door!"
