There are too many military songs suitable for chorus, the melody is easy to learn, catchy, and it is either strong and powerful when sung, or iron and tender, as long as the words and phrases that do not fit the background of the Tang Dynasty are changed, they can be directly taught to military cadets. Xia Hongsheng even thought of the name of the event, which was called "Military Song Loud and Bright - The First Choir Competition of the Tang Royal Military Academy"

The prizes are also thought of, honorary prizes plus material prizes. If you win a group award, you will be awarded a trophy, and if you win an individual award, you will be awarded a medal.

Anyway, Li Lao Er, who tried to make the military merit medal at the beginning, was worried that if he implemented it in the army, it would cause waves and make people feel uneasy that he was going to change the army. So keep throwing it at home and eating ashes. Just take it out this time, and now try out the military merit medal in the military academy, and then slowly spread it to the whole army -- just like boiling a frog, the conservatives in the army are frogs, and those changes and attempts to the army are like boiling water, and if you throw the frog into the boiling water, it will immediately jump out and splash the boiling water everywhere, so it has not done anything. But now there is another way. Xia Hongsheng saw this and understood Li Shimin's concerns, so he gave the military academy the function of "warm water". Those measures or new methods that are not convenient for immediate implementation are tried out in military academies, which have become a small world of their own, so they do not threaten anyone, and there are many strong enforcement powers, and they can be implemented and implemented. When it works, everyone says it's okay, and it's slowly being rolled out, the resistance will be much smaller.

Material rewards are also rich and vulgar. Since you are a cadet of the military academy, you will be an officer when you go out in the future, so you will be issued with weapons! The weapons workshop under the military machine workshop uses improved steelmaking technology, and the assembly line not only has a fast speed of steelmaking, but also the quality of the steel is much better than that of 100 steelmaking. Money can't buy that.

Xia Hongsheng didn't go back. In his own office, he drafted an activity implementation plan and regulations. While drafting, while crookedly, when the time comes, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China will be invited as much as they can, so that they can see what is called all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, and beauty, and what it means to have excellent military quality and ideological quality.

With the face of Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan and Niu Jinda. Those generals in the army should be able to come in large numbers! It's best to think of fooling Li Lao Er, as long as Li Lao Er comes, the big guys among those civil officials will definitely be brought here, wahahaha! ……

This kind of activity plan and charter Xia Hongsheng wrote countless when he was doing agency documents before teaching in later generations, so he was familiar with the road and completed it quickly. Continue to spread out a few sheets of paper and begin to select songs from memory to teach the students.

I made a list of song titles, and then changed the lyrics one by one.

Changing and changing, a problem was discovered.

Military schools do not have a school song. There is no military anthem in the army, and there is no national anthem in the country.

Don't underestimate the power of music, in fact, the national anthem of a country, the military song of an army, the school song of a school - it is a small thing, just a song, not popular. It doesn't always sound good, and sometimes you think it's corny. They can't keep up with the times -- but the role played by these songs is huge. The national anthem and military anthem not only reflect the national spirit of a country and an army, but also symbolize a country and an army. Songs that are national anthems or military anthems are often songs with special historical significance. Despite the passage of time. Despite historical changes, despite the passing of things and people, only the spirit lives forever and the singing voice does not grow old.

The first is cohesion. It celebrates and encourages the confidence and cohesion of a nation, through its unique historical significance. Bringing together the people of a country and an army as one, inspiring them to fight for a common belief.

And then there's the inspiration. The national anthem and military anthem, which represent the country and the army, can arouse patriotic feelings in people's hearts, as well as a sense of identity and belonging, thereby arousing strength and courage in people's hearts.

In fact, in ancient China, there were still some songs similar to the military songs of later generations, such as the "drum song" in Yuefu, which was military music at the beginning, and later expanded to the court meeting, field hunting, road, and parade music of the imperial court; "Horizontal blowing song" was originally also military music, used for the joy of military horses, and later used when rewarding meritorious border generals. These military music generally have lyrics to match. Some of the lyrics are still preserved in the "Yuefu Poetry Collection" compiled by Guo Maoqian in the Song Dynasty.

It's just that ancient Chinese military songs have not formed a systematic development.

In terms of the musical form of the song, there is no such musical form as a march; In terms of the function of songs, there is no formation of a variety of song varieties; In terms of the influence of the song, there is no social recognition.

Fundamentally speaking, ancient Chinese military songs generally lack the spirit of "carrying forward the spirit of martial arts", that is, the spiritual core of "martial arts". As a result, there is a lack of inspiration, a high spirit, and a quality that leads people to fearlessness and bravery.

Basically, there are too few songs in ancient Chinese military songs that are similar to "National Martyrdom" in Chu Ci. In ancient Chinese military songs, resentment and sorrow are mainly written, and many are based on the cruelty of war. Although there is a strong sense of anti-war and a clear understanding of war, it is often not suitable for military life, such as marching and charging, and boosting morale in front of enemy troops. and social life, such as the celebration of festivals. Especially in an era of crisis, ancient military songs do not play a role in inspiring people's spirits.

Xia Hongsheng looked back and forth for a long time against the list he had just listed, and he didn't pick out any of them as the school song of the military school, let alone think it was worthy of being the military song of the Tang Dynasty.

Xia Hongsheng spread out a piece of paper, wrote the words "Tang National Anthem" on it, thought about it, and put it aside. wrote the words "Tang Army Song" on the next piece of paper, and after thinking about it, he also put it aside. These two songs represent a lot and must be chosen carefully and carefully considered.

On the last piece of paper, Xia Hongsheng took up the pen and wrote down the "School Song of the Tang Royal Military Academy", thought carefully for a long time, and then slowly wrote down:

"Onward! Forward! Forward!

Cadets of the military academy to the sun!

Stepping on the land of the Tang Dynasty,

Burdened with the hopes of the people,

We are an invincible force!

We are the children of the people,

We are the backbone of Datang,

Never fearless, never give in, fight bravely! ......" (To be continued.) )
