[69 Book Bar - www.] After the graduates were awarded the saber, they all knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you, Sir. I will be loyal to you and serve the country, and I will never give up." These words are the ceremony of the military academy, and I also
I have said it before. Now that I think about it, this sentence is somewhat ridiculous. Loyalty to the emperor and service to the country is not something that can be said in one sentence. People who have said this sentence may not be loyal to the emperor at all and have no desire to serve the country.
After the incident, those graduates were transferred to the military camp and began their official careers. I heard that Marquis Wen asked me to hand over this class to others. I thought Marquis Wen would be my leader and led this batch of graduates, but I waited until everyone came.
After leaving, I didn't hear that Marquis Wen had made this appointment.
At this moment, a man came over, came to me, and bowed before me: "Excuse me, are you General Chu Xiuhong?"
This man was wearing a new military uniform and he was not very old. I was a little confused and said, "That's the last general. Who are you..."
He took out a token and said: "The young general is Hu Tao, an army officer in Wenhou Mansion. Lord Wenhou ordered me to take over the post of General Chu."
I took it and said to him: "Your order. General Hu, this is the seventh class of the first year that I lead. There are currently fifty students."
Hu Tao saluted again and said: "General Chu has worked hard. In the future, General Chu will be promoted, so don't forget to come back and take a look, haha."
He was serious just now, but now his speech is funny. Hu Tao is a team officer in Wenhou Mansion, so he is definitely not an incompetent person. I also saluted and said, "General Hu, you're welcome."
We were talking, but the students in the class were already looking at me. Suddenly, a student lost his voice and said, "Teacher Chu, you don't want to teach us anymore?"
I turned my head and looked at them. I had only taught these students for a few days. I mainly taught them guns and horses. Maybe my competition with Wu Zhao left a great impression on them and they didn’t want me to leave.
.In fact, I also have a good impression of these military cadets who are the children of common people. I vaguely see my own shadow in them. I said: "Students, Mr. Wenhou has other uses for me. From today on, you
Then I have to be guided by Teacher Hu.”
After hearing what I said, they looked at Hu Tao again. Maybe Hu Tao was handsome and impressive, and I saw that they had no intention of leaving me.
After all, I haven’t been teaching them for a few days. I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Hu Tao took them back, and I took the token to Wenhou Mansion to pay the order. Just as I was walking to the door, I suddenly heard someone from behind shouting: "Teacher Chu!"
This person yelled in a hurry. I turned around and saw the student who asked me if I wanted to teach. I stopped, and when he ran up to me, I said, "Why did you run out? It's time to go to class now."
The student said: "Teacher Chu, Teacher Hu and I took a leave to see you off. Teacher Chu, are you going to go into battle?"
I couldn't help but be touched by what he said. This young man was so handsome and delicate that I almost felt jealous. At his age, my appearance was not outstanding. I smiled and said, "Probably. I am a soldier.
There’s nothing else you can do.”
"Teacher Chu, I have something to ask you, is it okay?"
Under the sun, his black hair glowed with copper color, and his smooth face showed a desire for knowledge. I stood up straight and said, "What are you saying?"
"My father is a veteran. He hopes that I will be a famous general who will be victorious in every battle. But Teacher Chu, you told us that the most important thing for an army is to protect people's lives. As long as this goal is achieved, victory or defeat does not matter.
It’s not critical. Teacher Chu, you said, if a general can protect people’s lives but is always unable to win battles, is he also a famous general?”
That's the question. I couldn't help but raise my head and look at the sky. In class, I once said this when I was talking about the phrase "conquering the enemy without fighting."
"The duty of the army is to defend the country. Sacrifice is inevitable, but the sacrifice must be minimized. If you can make the enemy surrender with military power, that is the highest state of military strategists. In that way, you are not only a famous general, but a
He is a military god. But, on this point we
Nothing can be done. What can be done is to protect the country and the people of the country from aggression. From this point of view, the victory or defeat of one or two battles is not the key. The ultimate goal of war is to eliminate war.
, as long as you can do this, do you think he will be a famous general?"
The young man looked at me as if he didn't understand, and then said: "So, if a general is victorious in every battle and kills cities and countries along the way, then he is not considered a famous general?"
I sighed, not knowing what to say. The Imperial Army has always respected bravery and believed that bravery can solve everything. Although it was also to end the war, when I was taught by the teacher before, it was said that in order to destroy the enemy's will to fight,
It is right to slaughter the city. In the eyes of ordinary people, a famous general is determined by the number of battles he wins and the number of ranks he kills. However, following Wu Hou's southern expedition, all the way
I really can’t agree with this statement about the tragic scenes of massacres of cities that I saw on the Internet. Marquis Wu massacred the city in order to destroy the Republican Army’s fighting spirit, and the Republican Army mobilized countless civilians to join the war in order to resist the Imperial Army. Fundamentally speaking, they are both equally cruel.
, all using innocent civilians as tools. However, when it comes to real war, I really don’t know what is the better way.
"I don't know either." I sighed and patted the young man on the shoulder. "It's really ridiculous. I, as a teacher, really can't teach you everything. However, the duty of the army is to end the war and protect the people. If the army kills people instead
If the people, or if the people are required to join the battle, the commander has failed and is definitely not a famous general."
My words seemed to be blaming Marquis Wu. If Marquis Wu was still alive, he might be furious and scold me for being such a benevolent woman. However, before he died in battle, he said the helpless words "
"He who is unkind will be punished by heaven" seems to still be echoing in my ears. Maybe Wu Hou has a spirit and thinks what I say is reasonable - even though my words will be regarded as heresy that hinders the morale of the army in the army.
The young man looked at me, wondering if he understood what I said. Suddenly, he stood up straight and gave me a military salute. His military salute was not very standard, so I stood up straight and saluted him.
After a salute, he said: "Teacher Chu, please return in triumph as soon as possible."
This little boy seemed to have grown up a lot. I really don’t know whether it was just a triumph. When the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility. Even if I die on the battlefield, it is still my duty. I just said calmly: "
I'll try my best. By the way, what's your name?"
He was turning around to go back, and when he heard my question, he turned around and waved to me: "My name is Liu Fengwu, Teacher Chu."
The house of Marquis Wen is already in chaos. Today is the ninth day of March, and the Tianshou Festival on March 23 is coming soon. Marquis Wen has to prepare reinforcements as well as the Tianshou Festival, so he must be very worried. No wonder he came to the military academy for the exam today.
