King Rui Su Lei put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's recruit a group of the most important talents."
When Ruan Xiuchun heard this, he asked in confusion: "Your Highness, all the talents that should be recruited during this period have been recruited.
What talents do we still need to recruit?"
King Rui Su Lei said as he walked: "Compared with those princes and kings who were awarded titles for their merits, the biggest gap between us is our lack of background.
After the development company went public, we raised a large amount of silver coins.
The gap in other places can be made up with a lot of money.
Some unsuccessful literati will also take the initiative to seek refuge, so they don't have to worry about the lack of civil servants at all.
But as an independent country, the biggest difference between me and those people is that I don’t have any trustworthy generals.”
When Ruan Xiuchun heard King Rui Su Lei say this, he suddenly realized: "After listening to His Highness's concerns, I discovered it.
Because of his previous status, His Highness had no ability to contact military commanders.
Except for King Qian Mingyi of Shu, those princes and kings who were awarded titles for their merits were all born in the governor's mansion.
These people must have their own henchmen.
Many people are still military commanders, and they are not worried about the lack of trustworthy military officers in the country, which will lead to the loss of monarchical power.
At the same time, it was also because the relationships between these princes and kings in the army were complicated.
If we recruit retired generals, it is very likely that these generals are the confidants of a certain prince.
Once this happens, the country is likely to be overthrown in a short time.
Your Highness, we cannot recruit retired generals, what should we do next?"
The two of them were already sitting in the car.
King Rui Su Lei ordered the driver: "Go to the Imperial Military Academy."
Ruan Xiuchun heard about Green King Shulei’s destination.
He said respectfully: "His Highness's choice is really unexpected.
The Imperial Military Academy is full of students who are about to graduate.
They only have theoretical knowledge and no practical experience.
If His Highness recruits this group of child soldiers, can they really build a powerful army?"
King Rui Su Lei leaned back on his seat and said in a lazy tone: "This king did this out of complete helplessness.
Today is different from the past. The military is becoming more and more professional.
The professional knowledge that military generals master is different from the knowledge that ordinary soldiers need to master.
The empire's approach to the army is to separate troop training and troop command.
Military training requires the use of old men with several years of experience.
These people are not involved in military power, so there is no need to worry that they are the traitors of other princes and kings.
Xiuchun just made it very clear that I don't dare to recruit generals to lead the army.
Only a blank piece of paper is enough to draw on. As long as the students of the Imperial Military Academy are clean, their loyalty can be guaranteed.
These students have never been on the battlefield, but they have studied at the Imperial Military Academy for four years and have mastered all the theoretical knowledge of commanding the army.
Even if they are mediocre talents, if they can graduate from the Imperial Military Academy, the lower limit for these people can be guaranteed.
As for a truly famous general, if he really takes refuge with me, I would not dare to use him.
I, the King, can only hope that from these students of the Imperial Military Academy, we can cultivate truly famous generals who belong to us."
Ruan Xiuchun listened to King Rui Su Lei's method. He already knew that King Rui Su Lei did this to guard against possible traitors.
A traitor with military power can bring too much destruction.
Once the traitor takes the opportunity to lead his troops into the palace, he will carry out beheading tactics.
The country is likely to fall apart just because the king dies.
Ruan Xiuchun shook his head, trying to expel this image from his mind.
Just thinking about it made him feel terrible.
King Rui Sule must try his best to avoid the possibility of such a thing happening, even if the national army develops slower.
The vehicle soon arrived in front of the Imperial Military Academy.
At the gate of the Imperial Military Academy, there are soldiers holding guns and standing guard at the gate.
The gate of the Imperial Military Academy was closed tightly, and the sound of gunfire occasionally came from inside.
King Rui Su Lei was wearing a python robe, and he took out King Rui's royal seal.
Then he was escorted by the Imperial Military Academy guards and headed to the principal's office.
King Rui Su Lei took out the will given by his father.
The principal of the Imperial Military Academy called the General Affairs Department in front of King Sulei of Rui to confirm the authenticity of this decree.
After the principal put down the phone, he immediately announced the relevant news through the school radio.
"Dear graduating students, I am your principal.
King Sule of Rui received permission from His Majesty the Emperor to come to the Imperial Military Academy to recruit students.
Students who are interested in participating in the recruitment can go to the auditorium No. 1 and wait."
King Rui Sulei was accompanied by the principal of the Imperial Military Academy.
He arrived at Auditorium No. 1 and saw more than three hundred people already standing there.
These are some of the students who are about to graduate from the Imperial Military Academy.
King Rui Sulei looked at these students. They were all people who were preparing to immigrate.
These are also people with keen eyesight who can see the current situation clearly. He doesn't know how many people he can recruit today.
Rui Wang Sulei walked to the loudspeaker in front, he patted the microphone, and there was a banging sound in the auditorium.
"Dear students of the Imperial Military Academy, I am the second prince of the royal family and the latest to receive a fiefdom, King Rui Sulei.
Some of you may know me well, and some may not know me well.
You know that I am about to establish a vassal state in Europe.
I plan to build an army of 100,000 men. I think the retired generals of the Royal Army no longer have the latest tactics.
I am going to select all the commanders and generals of this one hundred thousand army from among you."
As soon as Rui Wang Sulei said these words, many students in the Imperial Military Academy immediately aroused strange reactions.
They accept the recruitment of King Sulei of Rui and can immediately become a general in charge of the army.
If they slowly gain seniority in the Royal Army, it will take them several years before they can get the chance to command the army.
As a young man, Rui Wang Sulei has seen that a large number of his peers have strange expressions.
He continued to speak loudly: "My father has surpassed the emperors in history such as Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Tang and Emperor Song.
The imperial army has conquered all dissenters, and there is no country in the world that does not belong to us Han people.
The empire has used its powerful strength to conquer all unyielding lands.
You live in the best of times, and you also live in the worst of times."
King Rui Su Lei said these words, which immediately aroused discussion among the students of the Imperial Military Academy.
"Why didn't I understand what King Rui said? What kind of riddle was he making?
Why do we say that we live in the best of times and the worst of times? These two sentences are not contradictory to each other."
"I think King Rui Sulei's words summarize it very accurately. No wonder he came to the Imperial Military Academy to recruit us. King Rui Sulei knows our future fate very clearly.
King Rui Sulei said that we live in the best era, that is, we live in a peaceful era.
The empire's powerful strength can protect the people from living and working in peace and contentment.
We no longer have to worry about the nomads from the north going south, or a country in the world rising up and wanting to attack the empire.
For the vast majority of people, this is indeed the best of times.
This is an era that many people in history have dreamed of.
But for those of us who have not graduated from the military academy, this is the worst time."
King Rui Sulei heard someone explaining his words.
He applauded enthusiastically at first, and then said: "Father, I want to bring a living environment for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment.
My father's conscientious efforts have truly given all the people a country where they can live and work in peace and contentment.
The empire no longer has any hostile countries in the world.
For the vast majority of people, this is the environment they have been looking forward to.
But for the Imperial Military Academy students who are about to graduate, you are facing the gloomiest moment for your future.
Your senior can gain military merit through war and rise quickly.
As long as you perform meritorious service on the battlefield and have a solid foundation of military merit, it is not difficult at all to be promoted and obtain a title.
Now the empire has no rivals, and there will be almost no foreign wars in the future.
You students who are about to graduate and join the imperial army will have to slowly pass the qualifications.
In the age of war, whoever has the ability will rise quickly. Everything depends on individual talent.
No one will support a mediocre person to rise to power. A mediocre commander will not only ruin his own life, but also his subordinates.
But in a peaceful era, personal ability is no longer important because of the lack of military merit, the fairest criterion.
For a person from a commoner background, his promotion speed will definitely not be comparable to that of a person from the Wuxun family.
The starting point of others may very well be the end point of your life's struggle.
But you can choose my country.
As a vassal state established overseas, I hope that my country will always be in a state of peace.
But I know that this situation is completely a luxury.
The country must go through several wars to subdue the surrounding countries and the forces within its borders before it can usher in peace.
All students of the Imperial Military Academy, if you join my country, you will not lack military merit at all."
The principal of the Imperial Military Academy was very bold when he heard King Rui Su Lei speak.
He thought for a while but did not stop King Rui Su Lei from saying this.
What Rui Wang Sulei said is indeed more true.
If some civilian students in the Imperial Military Academy were not screened by war and blessed with military merit, they would be better off.
It is indeed difficult for them to compete with children from noble families.
Some students who have always been in the ivory tower may think that as long as they have skills, they can beat anyone.
When they heard King Rui Su Lei say this, their mentality completely collapsed.
These people looked at King Rui Sulei on the stage and kept cursing him in their hearts.
The Imperial Military Academy also has no shortage of bright students.
They think King Rui Sulei is right, this era is indeed the worst era for them.
If they want to get ahead in the empire's army, unless they have help from noble people, their chances are slim.
Rui Wang Sulei saw the eyes of many students in the audience moving, and he immediately smiled. Today's harvest will be great.
He could also vaguely hear someone whispering curses.
King Rui Sulei didn't care about this matter at all.
These students who cannot see the situation clearly are the ones he must eliminate.
These people gave it to him for free, but he didn't want to take it.
He wants to screen out real talents, not a bunch of idiots.
After King Rui Su Lei finished speaking, he asked Ruan Xiuchun to distribute a small gift to the students of the Imperial Military Academy present.
This is a gift specially made by him, and it contains a carefully prepared high-precision world map.
There are also the details of King Rui's treatment of the generals who commanded the army and the rewards for the meritorious generals.
The gift specifically states what you should do if you want to join the Swiss Kingdom.
After Ruan Xiu Chun distributed gifts to more than 300 people, he followed King Su Lei out of the Imperial Military Academy.
After he got into the car, he asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, I saw many students acting strangely, why don't we strike while the iron is hot?
If we recruit students at this time, some students will definitely choose to join us."
King Rui Su Lei waved his hand and said: "I want to give these Imperial Military Academy students time to think.
After I leave, my royal brothers will also come to the Imperial Military Academy to recruit.
These people will weigh the various vassal countries. They think that Rui is worthy of seeking refuge, so they will choose us.
The people who seek refuge at this time are the ones who truly believe that Rui can develop and grow.
Only this kind of person is the most suitable general for us.
I am choosing them, and they are also choosing a certain prince and king. This is a two-way choice.
Only through strict screening can you find your favorite talents.
I was the first to come to the Imperial Military Academy, and I have already left a deep impression on these students.
They think that if the difference is not big, they will definitely choose our country, Switzerland."
The news that King Rui Su Lei appeared at the Imperial Military Academy, as well as what he said at the Imperial Military Academy, quickly spread throughout the capital.
The princes and kings soon received the news.
The third prince, Liang Wang Su Meng, smiled when he heard the news.
Behind him is the support of the Chahar tribe, which is the tribe controlled by his uncle.
He was confident that his father and uncle would have a group of brave generals who would check and balance each other and there wouldn't be any major problems.
He doesn't have that big ambition, unlike the second prince Su Lei who is too ambitious and is careful to guard against everyone.
When the fourth prince Qi Wang Su Ming heard the news, he pouted and immediately went to the palace to ask for help from his mother Wang Wenjun.
The sixth prince, Su Sheng, the king of Tang Dynasty, was very excited when he heard the news.
His mother clan was weak, and his only ally, King Gui Qutian, also needed to establish a vassal state and was unable to provide support.
When the sixth prince learned about what the second prince was doing, he immediately went to the Imperial Military Academy to gather a group of talents. He could not let the second prince acquire all the talents.
When King Lu Chenyang of Chu learned about this situation, he only said a few words.
"Children playing."
He no longer cares about this matter, but focuses on talents in other fields.
Most of the generals who came from the Dudu Mansion didn't care much about King Rui Sulei's actions.
These children who have not yet graduated from the Imperial Military Academy cannot compare with experienced generals on the battlefield.
When King Qian Mingyi of Shu learned about this situation, he showed a faint smile.
The empire was divided into civil and military divisions, and he had no ability to intervene in the governor's mansion.
But through his own connections, he accepted the support of certain families and obtained a group of relatively trustworthy generals.
But he didn't want these generals to have all the military power in the country.
Rui Wang Sulei's approach gave him the opportunity to support another group of generals.
When two forces compete for power, he can mediate the situation without worrying about the monarch's power being usurped.
