Chapter 225: Recommendation, Rejection
However, he miscalculated, and just as he turned around, a soldier came out and reported loudly, "Report, from beginning to end, a total of 48 explosions." ”
Zhao Qingyu paused for a moment.
He didn't expect to get the result, after all, who would be idle and bored enough to count how many explosions he had?
Generally, if there are only two or three sounds, or four or five sounds, some people may subconsciously remember them, but just now, there are obviously dozens of sounds, who would be so bored to calculate them one by one.
However, someone really reported the numbers?
He turned his head to look at the place where the voice was made, where a warrior with a clear face was standing, facing the gazes of dozens of people around him, not flinching, still standing straight.
Zhao Qingyu turned around, stared into the other party's eyes and asked, "48 sounds, are you sure?" ”
At the same time as he asked, in his heart, he actually believed in this number, 48 is a special number. [Kunpeng] was able to drop 48 aerial bombs in one round of attacks, which coincided with his own guess just now.
If this is the case, then it means that [Kunpeng] has mastered the method of night bombing, which is a great thing.
If that's the case, things will be much simpler, and you won't have to worry about it, just keep it firmly here.
However, he was very curious about the little warrior, so he couldn't help but ask more.
The little soldier looked straight at him and replied loudly, "Report to the regimental commander, I'm sure, it's 48 explosions." ”
At this time, a non-commissioned officer next to the little soldier came out to corroborate, "Regiment commander, this is a soldier in my squad, I only joined the army last year, although I usually don't look obvious, but in terms of observation and memory, I am definitely a good hand."
I can testify that as long as he hears it, or makes him see it, as long as he repeats it once, he can retell it smoothly, and he never makes mistakes. ”
Chief of Staff Qian was surprised: "Oh? Is there really an unforgettable supernatural power in this world? ”
The little warrior nodded lightly and confirmed, "Report to the chief, it's just a small skill of carving insects, it's not worth mentioning." But something as simple as remembering the explosion just now can't go wrong. ”
Zhao Qingyu has also read books and been enlightened, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little young and loved.
"What's your name?"
"Report to the head of the group, my name is Xia Yi."
"You have such memories, you should go to school, why did you become a soldier? I can send a report to the gentleman and transfer you to the newly built Jixia School Palace to study, are you willing? ”
Where did I think of the little warrior's firm reply, "Report sir, I don't want to." ”
Zhao Qingyu was stunned again, although martial arts are important in the kingdom, but in the eyes of him, a half-scholar of the former Ming Dynasty, it is a great temptation to go to the Jixia School Palace to study.
In his mind, joining the army was a helpless choice, the way out of being a soldier, but it was not as broad as the school palace, would the other party be unwilling?
Zhao Qingyu thought that the little soldier didn't know what the Jixia School Palace was for, so he opened his mouth to explain, "The Jixia School Palace is the highest school in the kingdom set up by the king himself, and it contains a group of masters with the highest knowledge in the kingdom.
You must know that the few high-ranking officers in my kingdom have made so many contributions, and they have only been authorized by the king to have a recommended place.
I hope you've thought about it. ”
Xia Yi shook his head firmly again and said, "Report to the chief, I only want to join the army, not study." ”
Zhao Qingyu's brows furrowed again: "Why?" ”
"In this world of great contention, fame is only taken immediately."
Zhao Qingyu glanced at the other party deeply and said no more, turned around and entered the command headquarters.
The squad leader walked over and nodded Xia Yi's forehead, "You kid, what a stubborn thing you are, what a good opportunity, Shengsheng told you to mess up." ”
Xia Yi smiled, "Squad leader, I am also from Liaodong, and my family used to be a family of poetry and books, but back then, when the slave chieftains captured all parts of Liaodong, the poems and books could not protect my family's lives."
And the county magistrate, who was full of poetry and books, didn't even make a decent resistance, so he ended himself with a rope.
If it weren't for the fact that the king rose up bravely in the south to cut the territory of North Korea, and took in the Yalu River in the north to accept our compatriots, I am afraid that my wrecked body would have already turned into loess.
How can you not repay the grace of saving your life? Although I am not talented, I am also willing to share the worries of the king. ”
The squad leader sighed, still a little unwilling to persuade, "I know that you have a conscience, but, after returning from studying in the Jixia School Palace, you became a magistrate, don't you do things for the king?" ”
Xia Yi shook his head: "It's different." Now, the king is fighting hard, swallowing Korea, destroying Fusang, taking the land of Baiyue in the west, attacking Houjin in the north, and shocking the four seas.
To be able to have such great feats does not depend on the rhetorical scholars, but on the thousands of warriors who rushed into battle and sacrificed their studies for the motherland. ”
The squad leader was a little puzzled, "Like you said, in the past few years, the king has attacked four times, and now the kingdom is already very good?" The kingdom has entered a period of recuperation, and being a magistrate can also play a huge role. ”
Xia Yi explained, "Old squad leader, the kingdom is constantly expanding in all directions, although it has brought a large amount of land and population, but our army has not finished its work.
Joseon, there is still a new dynasty formed by the prison state, the Wa Kingdom, we occupy their Kyushu Island, but Nahonshu, Shikoku and the Shogunate of the Wa State exist, and the land of Baiyue, Ninan only occupies a small area, where there are still several large separatist dynasties.
The enemy will not be reconciled, there will definitely be a counterattack, and in the next hundred years, I am afraid that the war will not stop.
The minister of the guard, find some literate guys, teach them for a few years, and then watch the government for a few months, and you can easily get started, and under the strict supervision of the supervision department, you can just act in accordance with the laws of the kingdom, and you don't need to bother too much at all.
But the army is different. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.
The army is the core of the kingdom for the next hundred years, and any talent who wants to make contributions and share the worries of the king should go to the army.
This is a good time. ”
Although the squad leader didn't understand it very well, he felt that what Xia Yi said was very reasonable, and Xia Yi at this moment was even more confident.
The squad leader patted Xia Yi on the shoulder, "I'm optimistic about you." Oh, by the way, I have already handed in your application for the lecture hall, but this year's exam time, because of the war, will be delayed for a period of time than in previous years, you have to prepare well. ”
"Rest assured, squad leader, I will definitely live up to your expectations. You said, if you enter the lecture hall, will you have the opportunity to meet your lord? The king has saved my life, but I have never even encountered the opportunity to kowtow from afar. ”
The squad leader looked at Xia Yi's longing face, smiled and sighed, "Alas, after a long time, people's hearts are complicated, and there are fewer and fewer people like you who know how to be grateful."
Don't worry, you'll be able to meet you.
As you said, in the next hundred years, the core of the kingdom will be the army, and since it is the core, there must be many opportunities to meet the king. ”
At this time, the command conveyed the order of the regiment commander, asking the divisions to return to their previous state and continue to rest.
