Marquis Wu Zhen was right. Compared with the Central Academy today, the Protectorate Academy deserves more attention from him. Three years later, thousands of people will leave the academy every year, either entering the Qin Army or becoming a member of the Qin Army.
The people of Qin attacked the city and defended it.
Based on the courses they have received in three years, there shouldn't be any big problems. However, when I arrived at the academy yesterday and read through the many regulations of the academy, I felt that it was a bit too strict as stated in the "Shang Jun Shu".
As soon as he said this, Huan Jue and others beside him also looked over.
In fact, they did not disapprove of these elimination methods, but what Wu Zhenhou required was too strict. According to Wu Zhenhou, it would be good if only half of the entire academy could be left after one year.
Five hundred people would be too few and would not be able to meet the needs of the Qin Dynasty.
"How can it be so easy to keep the important weapons of the country?"
"According to the regulations, after three months, there will be another large-scale assessment of the more than a thousand people who entered the academy. Dozens or even hundreds of people may be eliminated, but after thinking about it, they should have a good idea."
"Physical fitness test, business test, deduction test, tactical test... What the National Protectorate Academy needs is not mediocre talent, it must be the best among them, it must be the elite talent that has been selected over and over again."
Zhou Qing shook his head. If it was an ordinary academy, that would be fine. But since it is the Protectorate Academy directly under the jurisdiction of King Qin, it should not be so lenient. If there are no elimination measures, I am afraid that their progress will not be able to reach what they want.
That bit of hope.
The elimination mechanism should be feared by ordinary people, but for those generals with real potential, it is an opportunity for them to stand out.
There is no shortage of mediocrity in the army.
So, why continue to train them?
The title of Da Qin is not so easy to obtain.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. According to Xuan Qing's plan, although the assessment is strict, after three years, there should be between 700 and 800 people left. And after three years of training, the outstanding ones among them should be able to make your Majesty
satisfy."
If the elimination is too heavy, it will definitely not work, but it will not work if the elimination is too light.
At this point, Zhou Qing admitted that he still had some experience.
"Well, in the academy, Marquis Wu Zhen is currently serving as a grand sacrificial wine. Since he has such a plan, he must have a long-term strategy."
"Three years later, everyone is looking forward to it."
"What I didn't expect is that the nine major courtyards turned out to be as Marquis Wu Zhen said. Although the infantry courtyard has the advantage, there are also many students flowing into the other courtyards. In this way, I can feel relieved."
Among the nine major courtyards, the most attractive ones are the infantry courtyard and the cavalry courtyard, but the other military courtyards, strategy courtyard, military affairs academy, etc. also have students flowing into them.
Even the most inconspicuous military hospital hall has thirty people chosen. It is really unexpected. Although thirty people are not many, they are indispensable to the military.
"Oh, by the way, since there is an infantry academy, why don't those who are eliminated from the cavalry academy enter other academy?"
King Qin felt this. Since the king's brother's plan had resulted in a large number of people in the academy being eliminated, it would be a good idea for them to choose to stay in the academy instead of letting them leave the academy.
choose.
"There is no superior in the courtyard, just choose one for three years!"
"There is no way out within the academy!"
Zhou Qing smiled softly. Now it seems that the relatively inconspicuous spy hall, strategy hall, etc. will become popular halls at some time, and the same is true for the military hospital hall.
Moreover, the professors taught in military hospital halls are all systematic, jumping in halfway and wasting time in vain.
"There is no retreat!"
"There is no way out. Either move forward or be eliminated. The National Protectorate Academy is the most important weapon of the country. This is how it should be."
Talking about various things, Qin Wangzheng also had some understanding of the king's younger brother's intention.
It is better not to train, but to select the best people, otherwise, the significance of the establishment of the academy will be lost. In this way, Qin Wangzheng is even more looking forward to the batch of people who will leave the academy in three years.
******
Starting from the morning exercises, the nine courtyards were in full swing, and they were active inside and outside the academy for a whole hour. They reached the middle of Chenshi, when the scorching sun was rising, and then they slowly stopped.
There were several breaks in between, but after all, no other training items were carried out. Each of them was given a stick of incense to prepare, then returned to the dormitory, took a bath, changed clothes, and then rushed to the central martial arts hall.
There, the king comes today and will see them in person.
When the news came out, the entire academy was in a state of excitement, and every student was filled with excitement. They didn't expect that the king would come so early, and he came specifically for them.
"Bai Tong, have you met the king?"
Lin quickly returned to his dormitory, changed his clothes, and quickly made his bed. Lin quickly went out with others and headed to the martial arts hall. Along the way, everyone was in a mood.
In all my life, I have never seen the king!
Even the county magistrate and the county magistrate have not been seen a few times, and as for the village elders, they have never met. Now that I can actually see it in person, I am really happy.
"No."
Bai Tong responded very simply. Although he was from the Longxi old gentry family, he had always grown up in Longxi. Naturally, he had never seen the king. Being able to see him today made him extremely excited.
"Bai Tong, you are from the Bai Tribe of Mengxi. I think you must know the etiquette of meeting the king. How do you think we should salute when we see the king later?"
Another young man in the same dormitory also looked at Bai Tong curiously. Like Lin, he also came to the countryside, so he didn't know much about etiquette and the like.
When I see the king next, I can't embarrass the village.
"Well..., there are many etiquettes for meeting the king, including the ritual of worship, the ritual of meeting, the ritual of kowtow... If it suits us, why don't we ask the teacher?"
Bai Tong was a little out of his mind for a while. The etiquette he knew was what the clan elders said, and he had never practiced it himself. To be honest, he didn't know exactly how to do it.
Facing the expectant glances, Bai Tong felt a little ashamed unconsciously, and somewhat lost the face of an old scholar.
"When you enter the martial arts hall later, you don't have to do anything, just sit calmly in your seat."
"Just listen quietly to the king's words."
Well, it was not Lin and the others' turn to worry about this matter. The teacher in charge of their dormitories walked in, looked at the staff, found that there were no shortages, and quickly gave instructions.
The students in the academy are a mixed bag, and the etiquette is ever-changing. Just now, there is no need for complicated etiquette for the great wine ceremony. If you really want to salute the king, then you must train well in the next three years. Only in this way can you
Pay homage well to the King.
"Huh, that's okay."
Lin took a gentle breath of relief. If he really wanted to salute, he really couldn't do it. He glanced around and seemed to feel the same as himself. He looked at the huge martial arts hall approaching and stepped inside it one after another.
According to the location of the courtyard, more than a thousand people were seated. Although the scene was a bit chaotic, there were not many sounds. The king was coming next, and no one wanted to lose in front of the king.
With the help of the teacher, do it one after another.
On the semi-circular staircase platform, more than a thousand people are sitting upright, and their eyes are automatically focused on the high platform in front of them. It is where the doctors and teachers of the academy have been working recently, and now the king is coming.
Suddenly, I don’t know how long it took.
At the entrance of the side hall on one side, people dressed in doctor's and teacher's robes slowly walked in. In an instant, they looked over, wanting to see the true face of the king.
Soon, they found it. In front of Marquis Wu Zhen, who was holding the Grand Ceremony of the Academy, a young man wearing a black mysterious robe, a jade belt on his waist, and high boots appeared. His face was as handsome as a jade, and he was very handsome.
Walking in front of Marquis Wu Zhen, the two of them couldn't help but whisper something. The other doctors from the nine major courtyards took their places. Many teachers then stood behind the high platform. Among all the people, only the man in black did not
Recognize.
There is no doubt that that is the king!
The current king of Qin!
It’s just... it’s different from what they expected. According to rumors, when the king travels, he must be accompanied by a sophisticated black dragon regiment, beautiful maids, and a majestic crown. There must be a Qin king.
Protected by famous generals.
But... now it seems that there is nothing.
It seems that he is not as majestic as their magistrate and magistrate, let alone their magistrate. Is he really the king?
"The academy has just been established, and everything is waiting for success."
"You are the first batch of students of the Protectorate Academy of Great Qin, and I am also the first Grand Priest of the Protector Academy. In the next three years, you will learn a lot, whether it is writing, military techniques, strategies... everything.
"
"With those, you can achieve military merit, gain glory, and get everything you want. But there is one thing I want you to remember, and that is to never forget the Academy Oath."
"One thousand and eighty students in the nine courtyards stand up!"
"Doctor Jiu Da Yuan Tang stand up!"
"Teachers from the Nine Great Halls stand up!"
As King Qin entered the central platform, Zhou Qing smiled softly at Brother Wang, stepped forward, stood with one hand by his side, and looked around. Although his voice was not loud, it clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
As soon as the words fell, thousands of people stood up on the high steps of the entire academy. Doctors and teachers were solemn. Although there was no warning, they were uniform and uniform, adding a bit of majesty.
King Qin Zheng felt this, and his expression was a little solemn. He looked around and sighed in his heart.
"I am now entering the palace to protect our country and shoulder the honor and burden of the old Qin people."
"My king is above us. We will definitely obey orders, strictly observe military discipline, be brave and brave, not afraid of hardships, study hard, and be always prepared. We will never let down the expectations of the academy, never let down our country, and we will defend our country to the death!"
The words were brief, and more than a thousand people remembered them in their hearts. The accent fell and swirled around the lecture hall of Nuo University. The lingering sound lingered for a long time. Unknowingly, they all felt passionate and generous.
A different aura spread unconsciously around the students of the academy, and their expressions were full of perseverance. They all understood the meaning of these words. Today, when the king is here, their hearts are filled with endless courage.
The food here in Xuegong is good, even better than in the village!
Living here in Xuegong is good, the beds are made of fine linen provided by Xuegong, which are better than those used by the villagers!
There are many rewards here in the Academy, which every old Qin person wants!
And what they say is the King’s expectations for them, and it is also their own expectations! Their own prospects!
