"Go horse, go horse!"

"Look, if you don't listen to me, the pawns crossing the river will be eaten, right?"

"General, do you understand that a true gentleman watches the chess game without speaking?"

"Hey, you old man is so clueless, how can it be interesting for you to play chess without anyone yelling at you?"

“···”

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Rukui came to the porch and saw Niu Wanchai arguing with two old men about playing chess, and they were speechless.

"Niu Wancai, what are you doing here?" Yuan Zongdi asked with a dark face.

Niu Wancai slapped his head and said: "I, I came to see them boil water. These two stinky chess baskets made me forget about business. Come on, boil water for us to cook!"

The concierge Lao Li said calmly without raising his head: "Well, I'm not your soldier, why should I boil water for you to cook? There is no such rule in the school, so you can do it yourself."

"Hey, you old man... look up and see what this is, a fist as big as a casserole, and I ask you if you want to boil water?" Niu Wancai threatened with his fist as big as a casserole.

Lao Li finally raised his head, his face was as wrinkled as chrysanthemums, and there were three targets.

He sneered and said: "Threat? Do you believe it or not? If I shout, you will be arrested and imprisoned immediately?"

"I've eaten the iron from the government, why should I be afraid of being imprisoned? What a joke!" Niu Wancai said, his expression even more ferocious.

Liu Rukui came up and grabbed Niu Wancai, and said to the two concierges: "The school didn't let you boil water, so how about I pay you to burn the head office?"

After saying that, he took out a dime of silver and threw it on the chessboard.

As soon as the silver fell on the chessboard, it disappeared instantly, but was taken away by Lao Chu.

He said with a smile on his face: "Generals, please wait, I will boil water for you right now!"

Lao Li shouted: "The chess game is not over yet, why are you running away?"

Niu Wancai sat on the horse and said: "I will accompany you and kill you without leaving any trace of you."

Yuan Zongdi and Liu Rukui came to watch.

Looking at Old Li Tou, Yuan Zongdi was moved in his heart and asked: "Brother, do you want to make money?"

"I have no children and am a bachelor. What do I do to make money?"

Liu Rukui asked: "How long can this dime of silver allow that person to boil water for me? How much silver should I give if I want to cook?"

"Lao Chu's son is a debt collector, so he is also obsessed with money." Lao Li sighed first, and then said: "Do you have any money? You can only let him boil water and clean the room for you. Once. Doing laundry and cooking on the small stove are not included."

"So dark?" Yuan Zong, the third person, stared at him, "You guys can't spend so much money on a maid, right?"

Lao Li sneered, "Can you buy a maid and bring it into the school? Besides, according to the rules of this school, you can boil your own water and eat in the cafeteria without spending a penny."

I’m too lazy to work, but you still think it’s expensive? Why, you used to be a stingy landowner?”

Yuan Zong, the third person, immediately blushed after hearing this.

Before making food, none of them were landlords, they were all mud-legged.

Now when I think about the days before making food, it feels like a dream...

Two days later.

On the main campus of the military school.

The fourth person from Yuan Zong stood in the front row on the right near the Dianjiang platform.

Behind them were dozens of generals from the rank of captain to captain.

These former subordinates were also studying in the training camp, but they did not live in the same courtyard as them. Instead, they lived in another large courtyard, with two people sharing a room. The accommodation conditions were much worse than theirs.

On the left side of their group, there were also dozens of big men standing.

The leaders and others lived in the same compound as Yuan Zongdi. They had interacted with each other in the past two days and knew that they were all from the Sichuan army. However, they had previously respected the puppet emperor of Nanjing instead of the princess overseeing the country.

This group, headed by Wang Xiang, Hou Tianci, and Luo Yuxin, has been studying in the training camp for more than a month. In a few days, a group of people will complete their studies and "graduate."

Behind the two groups, there are thousands of vigorous and strong young men, who are the first batch of official students of the "Chengdu Military School".

It is said that they all signed up to join the army before and were selected through many layers of selection. All of them are good prospects for fighting in the army.

Looking at people like himself, and then thinking about the scene when these thousands of good young men were trained into junior generals and sent to the new army of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but lament for King Chuang in his heart.

He felt that King Chuang and Dashun really had no hope of defeating Daming.

In fact, sometimes he would vaguely have the idea of ​​​​persuading his fellow soldiers to surrender to the princess.

Just when Yuan Zongdi was thinking about something, a loud shout came——

"The Supervisor has arrived!"

Immediately, groups of brightly armored soldiers from the Huben Battalion of the Royal Forest Army rushed into the main campus. They not only surrounded the general platform, but also formed a "passage" leading to the school gate.

Li Laiheng and other surrendered generals from the Chuang Army couldn't help but look at these imperial guards with admiration and envy.

Because in their opinion, each of these fierce warriors has better armor than their generals.

It's just that Li Laiheng couldn't figure it out. The bright "iron armor" that looked almost integrated should be very heavy, right? How do these people run so fast without panting?

It can’t be armor worn only at the school gate, right?

As a general, although Li Laiheng had never had heavy armored infantry under his command, he also knew that this kind of heavy armor weighed dozens of kilograms, and soldiers would only wear it before a battle.

In addition, because this kind of heavy armor is afraid of blunt weapons, and its defense against powerful fire guns is not necessarily better than fine cotton armor, so today's armies actually rarely equip it.

Why did the Royal Forest Army produce so many heavily armored infantry?

Isn't this a waste of money?

Just when Li Laiheng and others were puzzled and even disdainful of the heavy armor of the Royal Guards Tigers and Tigers, groups of heroic female soldiers wearing red battle coats, like balls of flames, walked over.

In this way, all the soldiers and military cadets who were standing in neat rows on the main campus, standing as still as pines, moved slightly.

But soon everyone returned to standing still and solemn expressions, because the princess's carriage arrived.

To be precise, the princess arrived on a red-maned horse and an old general who also rode a horse.

This old general has deep wrinkles but no beard. Judging from his attire, he looks like a female general.

Looking at the flag behind the old general and a team of armored soldiers with weapons that were very different from those of the official army, a name suddenly popped into everyone's mind - Qin Liangyu!

Li Laiheng and others immediately remembered the news they heard from Hou Tianci yesterday, that Qin Liangyu was coming to serve as the commander of the military academy.

At first, Li Laiheng didn't believe the news.

In his understanding, the Chengdu Military Academy is similar to an academy, and the academy chief is usually an old Confucian master. How could he invite a general or a female general?

I didn’t expect it to be true!

Although Li Laiheng was a rebel in the past, after learning about Qin Liangyu's deeds, he admired the old lady very much.

He was very excited at the thought of studying in a school where Qin Liangyu was the mountain chief.

···

After a while, Zhu Ayao took Qin Liangyu's hand and stepped onto the general platform.

Behind him were Red Lady, Ma Ke, Li Yan and other military dignitaries, and the general also followed.

Qin Liangyu turned his head and glanced at Zhu Aona next to him. His old eyes were still slightly red, but he was very moved in his heart.

She arrived in Chengdu yesterday.

Zhu Yuyao personally went to greet her outside the Prince of Shu's palace, and under the eyes of many Chengdu people, he supported her and held her hand as she did now.

She could feel that Zhu Yuluo really respected her like a junior and a granddaughter, rather than just doing superficial things.

After that, she lived in the palace of King Shu.

In addition to handling government affairs, Zhu Yuyao came to chat with her whenever she had time.

After several conversations, Qin Liangyu developed a regret that "I was born before you were born, and I am already old after you were born."

Fortunately, although she can no longer fight for Zhu Yurao on the battlefield, she can still serve him in this very meaningful "military school".

Next to her, Zhu Yurao looked at the hundreds of training camp generals and thousands of first-term military students below, feeling both emotional and excited.

Hao Guangming was recording the screen through Zhu Yurao's mobile phone camera. He couldn't hear Zhu Yurao speak for a while, so he reminded: "Don't be stunned, isn't it your turn to give a speech next?"

Zhu Yuyao said softly "Hmm" and began to speak according to the script she had memorized before.

Speaking of which, in the past six months, as Zhu Yurao's speech experience has increased, she can now improvise according to the speech script, and often performs well.

Therefore, the speeches Hao Guangming prepared for Zhu Yurao were often in a detailed outline style, deliberately leaving room for her to express herself.

As for Zhu Yuluo's speech today, it is nothing to the people of later generations, but it was extremely contagious to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Zhu Yurao finished speaking, hundreds of training camp generals, thousands of military students, and even the surrounding imperial guardsmen suddenly shouted in unison—

"I am willing to die serving the country!"

···

By the time Zhu Yura returned to the Shu Palace after attending the opening ceremony of the "Chengdu Military School", it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

So she invited Qin Liangyu, Hong Niangzi, Ma Ke and other military personnel to a banquet.
