Of course, Du Wei himself, who was far away in the imperial capital, could not hear the fat man's complaints. As for Princess Louise, who was supposed to be "happy in the arms of the fat man", it was even less likely to know.
Du Wei was obsessed with coming up with all kinds of tricks to torture the officer cadets, and now it seemed that after several months of torture, these cadets' endurance had been greatly improved.
At least, Du Wei's vicious "emergency gatherings" made those officers complain, and he was really cruel to the dean.
I don’t know how many nights the young dean went to the playground to blow the whistle for an emergency gathering. At first, it took the officers a full quarter of an hour to rush to the grassland in a chaotic manner, some of them barefoot.
, some people didn’t wear coats, and a few guys didn’t even have time to put on pants, so they wrapped themselves in a blanket and rushed out.
But as time went on, everyone was fully prepared to deal with this kind of emergency gathering at night, and everyone was fully alert even when they were sleeping. Duwei's emergency gathering could no longer keep these guys busy.
They were so good that after hearing the whistle, Du Wei silently counted to one hundred and fifty before appearing on the playground in full dress.
Of course, Du Wei was very satisfied with the performance of these guys, and he also made several jokes. One time, an officer cadet had a dream at night, talked in his sleep, and shouted "Emergency assembly". As a result, everyone died.
A dozen officers immediately heard the news and rushed to the playground in full dress within a moment...
result……
The guy who talked in his sleep was beaten up by his classmates. After that, when he went to bed at night, he stuffed his mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent him from talking in his sleep again.
In addition, Du Wei also restored an ancient tradition that the Imperial Army had abandoned for thousands of years.
The history of an army's war.
Du Wei is not a military expert. Du Wei, who came from a previous life, never joined the army in his previous life, but he at least knows one truth: an army without history has no soul!
Therefore, Du Wei made a request, hoping that in the courses at the military academy, the veteran officers would introduce some of the glorious battle histories of the ace armies in the empire. However, after this request was made, everyone was at a loss.
Obviously, the imperial army does not have this habit.
But Du Wei quickly found what he needed from the ancient archives of the military headquarters... It is not that the empire's army has no war history. Obviously, the founding emperor a thousand years ago, his other self, also advocated
Unfortunately, in later years, this provision was abandoned.
An army without its own war history has no soul! Du Wei deeply believes in this. Being familiar with the history of his army can give soldiers a strong sense of belonging and honor for their own army!
So, Du Wei simply taught this course himself. He began to talk about the records of several elite elite troops that he dug out from ancient military archives and that had repeatedly made meritorious deeds in the war to unify the continent in the founding land!
"What is an ace army?" Du Wei waved his arms in class and said loudly: "It means having a glorious record and a glorious history! Every soldier in the army is proud to be in such a great team!! When
When the flag of this army is displayed, the enemy will think of the opponent's glorious record when they see this flag. Before they take the battle, the enemy's morale will be weakened by three points! Usually when soldiers introduce themselves to others,
.You can also hold your neck high and proudly tell the other party, 'I am from such and such division or I am from such and such cavalry camp'!!"
After saying that, Du Wei smelled the many "disciples" below and said with a smile: "You are also from troops from various parts of the empire. Can any of you tell me the war history of the army you were originally in?"
No one can tell.
Du Wei found an officer among the five hundred cavalry he brought to the imperial capital and asked this guy to tell the history of his army's war in class.
In Du Wei's territory, Du Wei has paid attention to this point very early.
Therefore, when the officer of the Tulip family told the story with a tone full of pride and pride, and when he told the glorious history of his army, everyone could see the heartfelt sense of belonging!
"I am a member of the First Independent Cavalry Battalion of the Tulip family's private army!" This was the officer's opening statement: "Our army participated in the first battle in the northwest when the Duke took office! The defense of Gilliat City! That battle,
Our First Cavalry Battalion is the main force! We broke through the prairie people's army head-on! We drove those guys back to the prairie! We also participated in the annihilation battle of the Northwest Legion rebels! Our cavalry battalion was personally commanded by General Longbottom in that battle
During the battle, we were responsible for sniping the right wing of the northwest cavalry! That time, three thousand of us sniped at the opponent's cavalry of more than 20,000, without allowing them to pass through our army! In the end, the northwest army was completely wiped out by us!"
At the end of the sentence, the officer's face lit up and he said proudly: "In the northwest, who doesn't know the name of the independent first cavalry battalion of our Tulip family! Those unruly prairie people and those horse bandits, when they hear our name, they
Will tremble! Our cavalry battalion called for new recruits twice, and almost all the people who wanted to join had their heads broken! Humph, but if you are not a good man, don't even think about joining our team!"
After the class ended, Du Wei looked at the officers with different expressions below and said slowly: "Did you see it? This is the morale of the army! This is the morale! Imagine, everyone, which army did you belong to before?
Soldiers and officers in the army can have such a strong sense of morale and honor! If you can let the army you command do this in the future, then you will find that every soldier under your command will be very conscious
Serve your army to the death! Even without mobilization, when faced with a crisis, these soldiers will burst out with unparalleled fighting spirit in order to safeguard the glory of their army!"
After the day's class ended, Du Wei was already very satisfied when he saw the officers walking out with different expressions, most of them looking thoughtful.
Then, today is a rest day. According to the regulations, these young people who have been working hard in the academy for many days can go out for a vacation and go to the imperial capital to relax themselves.
Du Wei, on the other hand, was about to go back to his office when his subordinates came to report that a guest had come to visit the college.
Seeing the strange expression on his subordinate's face, Du Wei frowned.
But soon, he understood the reason for that expression.
The visitor is a female guest.
At the gate of the academy, Du Wei met this visitor. Du Wei had made strict rules before. No female visitors are allowed to enter the military academy! This is an iron rule that no women are allowed to enter this place. Even family members are not allowed to visit.
no!
Outside the gate of the college, a luxurious aristocratic carriage stopped. Under a big tree, a slim figure stood there. When she heard the footsteps, the woman turned around and saw that the person coming was Du Wei.
. couldn't help but look stunned, and then the smile on his face seemed a little forced, and a trace of disappointment flowed out of his eyes, but then he faintly revealed a bit of information and uneasiness...
Such complicated eyes.
Du Wei didn't take it seriously. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Du Wei smiled and said, "Miss Oxi."
The visitor was none other than Du Wei's future sister-in-law, the granddaughter of the Finance Minister, Miss Osie. Because she had entered the academy, Gabri decided to postpone the adult ceremony, which also caused the marriage between the two places to be postponed indefinitely.
Although the Minister of Finance has repeatedly expressed his anxiety to Du Wei, since Du Wei has already talked with his brother and knows that his brother does not want to get married too early, he cannot force it.
"I'm sorry." Du Wei looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Gabri was dragged out by several colleagues after class. As you know, these guys have been holding it in the academy for many days. After hearing this,
He said it was a holiday, but all of them were gone in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, if you had come a few minutes earlier, you might have met him."
Osie sighed. She did come to find Gabri. After all, in a girl's mood, she knew that Gabri was her fiancé. Moreover, after Gabri came to the imperial capital, the two of them only met once at a banquet. That time
The meeting was uneventful. Gabri was polite to his beautiful fiancée, but not affectionate enough.
Miss Osie, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, was a little disappointed. However, during the following period, Gabri sent people to deliver small gifts to the Chancellor's house from time to time. Among them were some novel toys and some precious ones.
flowers, some exquisite jewelry, clothes, etc...
Ossie is essentially a very innocent girl, and what girl doesn't have a child? Although her fiancé is more than two years younger than her, after meeting her, Gabri is tall, handsome, and quite a man.
His spirit made Osie quite satisfied.
Moreover, the small gifts that came to her home one after another, many of which were quite thoughtful, made Osie feel a little sweet in her heart every time she thought about them.
Although the first meeting between the two was very ordinary, this simple girl thought that her fiancé was the future earl, and as the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, he must be a man who wanted to do big things. Such a heroic figure, naturally not
When you are in love with your son or daughter in public, the surface may be cold, but it can actually show the other person's calmness. The gifts given behind the scenes also show the other person's attentiveness and sincerity.
You must know that in the aristocratic families of the empire, most of the marriages of aristocratic children cannot escape arranged marriages and political marriages. Therefore, having a happy marriage and love is the simple thought of every aristocratic girl. Especially a clean and self-sufficient girl like Osie.
child.
Although there is no emotional foundation between her and Gabri now, their status has been decided. The two are destined to be husband and wife, and the other party is so attentive and considerate. Ossie is also willing to have more contact with Gabri to establish some emotional foundation.
Perhaps, for most nobles, the only way to have a happy marriage is: "Marry first, fall in love later!"
Today, it was Osie who thought about it at home for a long time before making a decision.
Because the next day was Miss Osie's eighteenth birthday, her attentive fiancé had already sent a gift to the Chancellor's house last night. It was a very cute little newborn baby.
foal.
It seems that every girl likes to keep pets. Although cats and dogs are too common, there are not many ponies as gifts. This unique thought makes the girl feel very fresh.
In particular, the person who sent the gift also sent a letter written by Gabri. The content of the letter was very simple, with only one sentence:
"Raise this horse well. In the future I will ride on the horse you raised and ride on the battlefield!"
I have to say that Gabri, the "playboy", is indeed very good at capturing girls' thoughts. Such words make the girl's heart filled with joy.
As a result, this Miss Osie, with the honor of being the daughter of a noble family, actually left the professional groom at home that night and took a brush to bathe the little pony with her own hands! She even fed the horse with her own hands!
However, she didn't know that although the letter was written by Gabri himself, the horse was not sent by Gabri at all, but... Duwei!
As an elder brother, Du Wei worried a lot about his younger brother! What he couldn't understand was that his younger brother was so carefree, and he knew how much he wanted to please those around him, but he was so cold to this beautiful fiancée.
.
Most of the gifts on weekdays were given by Du Wei after Du Wei reminded his brother to build a relationship with his fiancée, so Gabri obeyed. In many cases, Du Wei even sent people to deliver the gifts, and then marked them in Gabri's name.
.
As for Miss Ossie's birthday this time, Gabri seemed to have forgotten about it a long time ago. It was only after Duwei reminded him. Gabri lazily expressed that he knew about it, but turned around and asked his brother to help him prepare a gift.
He just left it alone and did what he was supposed to do.
Finally, Du Wei ordered a new-born colt to be selected from the fine horse that was sent to the imperial capital, and then he captured his younger brother and forced him to write a love letter with his own hands.
Gabri was indeed a playboy. Although this "love letter" only contained one sentence, it was enough to captivate a girl's attention! After reading it, Du Wei was greatly impressed.
However, it is really hard to say how sincere that bastard boy is in writing such a sentence casually.
"You don't seem to like Miss Osie very much? This letter is too simple." Du Wei couldn't help but ask his brother in person last night.
"Who said that? I guarantee that girls will blush when they see such words! Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure." Gabri looked proud.
"I mean... you don't seem to pay much... much attention to Miss Osi." Du Wei sighed: "You don't like her?"
Gabri then thought about it seriously, and then answered honestly: "Yes, I think she is... too boring."
"boring?"
"Yes, it's a bit boring." Gabri sighed and said calmly: "When we first met, she didn't talk much. When she spoke, she spoke softly and cautiously. She seemed to be afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.
It's like holding a hot pot in your hand, and you're afraid of burning yourself and others... It's so boring. I chatted with her for a few words, and she answered whatever I asked, but I didn't ask her
Not to mention... I'm so bored."
Du Wei sighed: "A girl like this is the best choice to be a wife, brother! Do you want your wife to be the kind of frivolous woman you saw at the banquet?"
Gabri nodded: "I understand what you mean. But brother, I'm still young, and what I like now is hot girls. As for Osie, I will marry her anyway. I will have plenty of time to spend time on her in the future, but I don't have any time now.
So much time."
Regarding his brother's attitude, Du Wei could only be speechless.
This boy is good at everything. He is willing to endure hardships and is self-disciplined. He is excellent in training and courses at the academy. He is very obedient to his elder brother. He is also smart and his work is somewhat calm and stable like his father's back then.
It's just... I have too much of a game mentality when it comes to women.
But Miss Osie didn't know all this.
She worked hard to feed the pony last night, and after hesitating for a long time today, she was so excited that she ran to the college to visit her fiancé and thank him for the gift in person.
"Oh...he's not here, then...let's forget it." Ossie sighed, her pretty face full of disappointment, but she stretched out her hand behind her back, with a knitted bracelet on it.
It can be seen that the dense stitching is made of fine material, but the stitching is still a bit rough. It was obviously done by this lady herself.
"My lord..." Osie said softly.
"Call me brother." Du Wei smiled, but sighed in his heart.
"Brother." Ossie blushed and gritted her teeth: "Please... leave this to him."
Du Wei took it and put it away carefully: "He will like it."
Osie lowered her head, as if the disappointment in her heart could not be swept away by Du Wei's two words, but she suddenly raised her head: "I, I almost forgot! There is another guest in the carriage, but he came specifically to see you."
"I?"
Du Wei was stunned for a moment. At this time, the window of the carriage next to him opened, revealing a beautiful face with a deep worry in his eyebrows. But it was none other than the lover of Holy Knight Hussein, Princess Louise.
!
"Your Majesty the Duke."
When Du Wei walked to the carriage, the princess sighed and said in a heavy voice: "There is something very important. I have thought about it and don't know who to talk to, so I can only come to you."
Du Wei laughed: "Are you here for...the matter between you and Hussein? Don't worry, I've already told you about that matter, and I'm sure I can help you solve it..."
"No, it's not about this." The princess's expression was not relaxed at all. She suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Please get in the carriage. This matter cannot be heard by others!"
