On the west side of the palace, on the school grounds.
More than a hundred grassroots officers were already standing in formation, and the scene was solemn.
To the north of the school grounds, a platform with a height of one person to the left has been built. Zhao Yanxun's throne has been placed on it, and eunuchs are standing on the left and right with their heads bowed.
In front of the throne, there were more than twenty Privy Council officials headed by two Privy Councilors.
In addition to the most basic marching drills, this training camp focused more on cultural learning, such as literacy and teaching simple military tactics.
Of course, there is also the most important loyalty education.
Be loyal to the palace, and the most important thing is to be loyal to Zhao Yanxun.
These "transformed" officers will become the seeds of the army.
Not only can they perform their duties better, but they can also further convey their loyalty to Zhao Yanxun to the grassroots.
Of course, these are the icing on the cake.
After all, Zhao Yanxun has high prestige and is deeply loved both in the army and among the people.
When he was bored, he heard Chen Anming say in a low voice: "Master Guan, I see what His Highness means, this kind of training will become the norm..."
“The Chief of History has a political school, so it’s not a bad idea for us to set up a martial arts school here!”
Now that he is an official in the Privy Council, Guan Hetai's position has also changed somewhat, and he more often regards himself as a military attache.
In a sense, this is also a matter of doing something in one's position.
Just when Chen Anming was about to express his views, he saw a chariot and sedan slowly approaching from the distance of the school grounds, accompanied by palace guards.
"I'll go and greet His Highness later!" Guan Hetai said first.
With so many people present, only the two of him were qualified to greet them, while the others could only wait where they were.
Among the officers below, many were already excited. It was rare for them to see Zhao Yanxun once, and they felt quite like a pilgrim at this moment.
The chariot sedan came slowly, almost as fast as a normal person walking.
The sedan chair stopped on one side of the high platform. Chen and Guan were standing in front of the sedan chair, with their waists bent, waiting for Zhao Yanxun's arrival.
"I kept you waiting for a long time!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
"His Highness's words make the ministers panic!"
After making a simple joke, Zhao Yanxun didn't say much, but led the two of them to the high platform.
The soldiers in the front guard of the palace were arranged on the left and right of the high platform according to the predetermined arrangement. Only Huo An led several eunuchs and followed Zhao Yanxun all the way to the high platform.
At this moment, an officer shouted: "Kneel down!"
All the more than a hundred junior officers present knelt on their knees, and then loudly paid homage: "I will pay homage to the prince!"
The sound was like thunder, echoing continuously in the school grounds, but Zhao Yanxun was completely unfazed. He had experienced this kind of scene too many times.
Step by step, he stepped up the steps and looked at the throne that appeared in his sight. Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Gao Zheng'an has the ambition to atone for his sins. I plan to transfer him to the front line!"
"The four hundred recruits at the Nancheng Campus are under the direct jurisdiction of your Privy Council. Now that all the ministries in the city have been transferred, they will be responsible for the city defense then!"
The reason why I want to mention this now is because Gao Zhengan is in charge of the four hundred recruits, and now he needs to inform Chen Guan and others about this arrangement.
"I accept your order!"
Fucheng is located in the hinterland of Yuanyang, and the density of zombies is extremely low. It is basically impossible to encounter strong enemies. Four hundred recruits are enough to ensure safety.
Moreover, these recruits are also well-trained.
Walking onto the high platform, all the officials waiting above knelt down to welcome Zhao Yanxun's arrival.
"Everyone get up, let them all get up!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
Huo An and others walked to the stage and shouted: "No courtesy!"
The officers below stood up. At this moment, they all raised their heads and stared at Zhao Yanxun from above with a pilgrim attitude.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun had already sat down and said to Chen and Guan: "Let's start!"
Today's training ceremony was a program negotiated by the two of them, and Zhao Yanxun also gave some guidance.
The first item, kneeling to welcome Zhao Yanxun's arrival, has been completed, so it is time for the second item, which is for Guan Hetai to announce the results of this training camp.
To put it simply, the article Guan Hetai wanted to read was to praise Zhao Yanxun's wisdom and greatness, otherwise how could the training camp have happened.
This kind of eulogizing article might sound off to people today, but it resonated greatly with these grassroots officers.
They have faith, and their faith is Zhao Yanxun, so they admire Zhao Yanxun's wisdom from the bottom of their hearts and are willing to praise his greatness.
After Guan Hetai finished reading, there were enthusiastic shouts from the audience.
"Long live His Highness King Yong..."
"Long live His Highness King Yong..."
They are fanatical, and their loyalty to Zhao Yanxun has been subtly engraved in their bones.
Guan Hetai's speech just brought out this enthusiasm.
"Be quiet, be quiet..."
Chen Anming scolded him repeatedly before the mood of everyone at the scene gradually returned to calm.
"The soldiers serve their lives, and the generals return to their hearts. Your Highness is quite like Taizong!" Guan Hetai said secretly.
If Zhao Yanxun knew that someone was comparing himself to that Taizong again, he might not be able to help but complain again.
Next, Chen Anming announced the list of commendations. A total of ten people were all outstanding in this training camp.
The so-called assessment mainly focuses on cultural assessment, such as knowledge and understanding of the art of war, as well as some mathematics and management questions.
The ten people with outstanding results were three general flags and small flags. After being called by Chen Anming, they walked to the front of the team in neat steps.
"Stand firm!"
The ten officers lined up neatly and stood on the spot with steady steps.
At this moment, Huo An had brought several young eunuchs and carried trays to the foot of the high platform.
What was placed on the tray was a beautifully decorated certificate. This thing just took a lot of effort, and its actual value is not very high.
Of course, for all normal officers, this honor is priceless.
Just listen to Chen Anming shouting: "Your Highness awards the honorary certificate, kneel down!"
As a result, all the officers present knelt on the ground again, including the ten officers who were to be commended.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun had already stood up and walked slowly down the steps, accompanied by two privy envoys behind him.
Walking to the audience, looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of him, Zhao Yanxun picked up the first "Book of Honor" from the tray.
"Zhang He..."
"I'm here..." a commander-in-chief at the front replied.
"Come out of the Guards Department, you did not disappoint me!"
"I dare not embarrass the prince!"
"You deserve this honor!" After saying that, Zhao Yanxun handed over the honor roll.
Raising his hands to take the roll of honor from Zhao Yanxun, Zhang He shouted: "Kowtow to thank the prince for his kindness!"
In addition to people like Baihu Zongban, there are also ordinary guards who serve as junior officers among the officials sent from the Guards Department.
Zhang He was the bodyguard Zhao Yanxun brought from the capital, and there were at least thirty bodyguards represented by him, distributed in various departments of the Military and Horse Department.
Zhang He held up the honor roll with both hands and looked at the hundreds of officers behind him with stars in their eyes. At this moment, they only wished that they were not the ones kneeling in front of them.
After crossing Zhang He, Zhao Yanxun issued the remaining honor roll.
