"I know what you are thinking in your hearts, being a soldier and eating is nothing more than eating with a mouthful of food, and you can't shine on the lintel like a scholar, and it seems that saying these things has nothing to do with you." Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Xia Nan waved his hand and said loudly: "I won't tell you the great truth of scholars, but I only ask you one sentence: give you a chance, take the soldiers back to the north, let the officials and gentry who used to ride on your necks and be mighty and tremble at your feet, let the Tartars who killed your relatives and burned your homes become the souls of your swords, and let you surpass those scholars and become the most respected group of people in the Ming Dynasty, are you willing?" ”

These words were simple and rude, and every sentence hit the pain points of the students.

For the students from Shaanxi Province, natural and man-made disasters and heavy tax shackles are painful memories that they do not want to touch, and the reason why they are easily coerced by the rogues is out of rebellion against the oppression of the old order. The whole life seems to be complete.

For the students in the Gyeonggi area, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there have been no major droughts and floods in the past few years, and no matter how heavy the taxes are, they can always get by, but the chaos of the Tartars has broken the peace of their generations, their homes have been destroyed, and their relatives have been separated from each other, and before joining the Qiong Navy, they have nothing to do with the enemies who caused all these evil consequences. Now that I have the opportunity to cut off the head of my enemy with my own hands and comfort my family's soul in heaven, it seems that it is worth paying this life.

And Xia Nan's promise to let them surpass the noble scholars and become the most respected group of people in the Ming Dynasty sounds like a fantasy, it is against the sky, but the Qiong Navy has created many miracles, and it seems possible to create another miracle. If all this can be realized, the ancestral tomb will be smoking, and he will no longer be a lowly grass people, but will become a human being, glorify his ancestors, and be qualified to let his descendants build ancestral halls and set up tablets after death.

The goal was so beautiful that everyone didn't believe that it could be easily achieved, but they were stunned, no one answered, and they fell into a cold spot for a while.

Xia Nan shook his head and said, "Have you been kneeling for a long time and can't stand up?" Princes and generals, rather have a kind! People are born to their parents, why should you be inferior to others? Why can't you compare with those gentry and scholars? ”

Xiang Yu listened to it in his heart, felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and he was uncomfortable, and raised his fist and shouted: "I am willing!" ”

Xia Nan's eyes turned over and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, clenched his hands into fists, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to cut the Tartar with my hands and avenge my father!" I am willing to follow the general, overwhelm those scholars, and become a master! ”

A Shaanxi man who was-for-tat with Xiang Yu in Taiwan stood up and shouted loudly: "I am willing to beat down those county masters, yamen minions, and landlords who bullied us, and kneel down to beg for mercy!" ”

Under the leadership of a few bold people, the rest of the people gradually came back to their senses and shouted unevenly.

Xia Nan stretched out his palm to make a fan and put it to his ear, and said: "I can't hear clearly, are you willing to fight back to the north, with a sword full of Qing Tartars, and kick corrupt officials and inferior gentry?" ”

The voices of thousands of people gradually converged into a neat voice: "I do!" ”

"Be louder, I can't hear you, are you all girls, you can't even say a word?"

Xiang Yu was in the crowd, opened his mouth excitedly, and shouted hoarsely with the people around him: "I do!" ”

The neat shouts pierced the sky and echoed above the Horse Jacket Military Academy, and the birds in the surrounding woods were alarmed and flew away.

"Okay, enough guys, if you want your strength!" Xia Nan said with satisfaction, "If you want to achieve all this, it is very simple: you just need to study and train hard, and then follow me north, and I promise that within a year, all these goals will be achieved!" ”

The students couldn't help but cheer, and the playground turned into a sea of joy for a while.

After Xia Nan's lecture, the training enthusiasm of these thousands of reserve officers reached an unprecedented height, which was also the result that Xia Nan expected. Xia Nan attaches great importance to this large-scale officer training in history, and this is directly related to whether the Qiong Navy will be able to maintain its original combat effectiveness level with the help of grassroots officers after the large-scale military expansion, and will not become a large and empty empty shelf unit.

On the third day after the military academy's speech, with the arrival of the last few reservists, Wei Lianheng and Su Thick Legs, who were in charge of pressing the formation at the end, also returned, and several giants of the army arrived. Xia Nan met with the two of them, gave them some encouragement, affirmed their outstanding performance in Shandong and Taiwan, and told them to rest for two days before starting to reintegrate all the front-line troops.

Good things come in pairs, a few days after Wei Lianheng and Su Thick Legs came back, Xia Nan's ally, the eunuch Fang Zhenghua, who was responsible for conveying the holy decree, also traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Lingao by boat.

South Park.

"What, transfer me into Beijing to resist Li Zicheng?" Xia Nan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Sure enough, everything is in my calculations, and it is exactly ......"

Fang Zhenghua put away the holy decree and said strangely: "What did Master Hou say?" ”

"This ...... I mean, I expected the Emperor to do this. Although the other party is an ally, Xia Nan didn't intend to reveal such a secret matter to him, but just vaguely brought it over, and then diverted the other party's attention, "It's just that I'm a little puzzled, I once committed a crime and led troops to besiege the imperial city, don't the emperor and the big guys in the court regard me as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye, how can I still put down the mustard and transfer me to Beijing?" ”

Fang Zhenghua smiled lightly and replied, "There are priorities." To use an inappropriate example, the grievances between Long Live Lord and Hou Ye are like conflicts between father and son, and they are family affairs that have to be resolved behind closed doors. And the thieves played the banner of 'Juntian free grain', in a vain attempt to subvert the dynasty, this is that outsiders want to seize the family property, which is more important, long live the Lord is still clear. Besides, looking at the world, in addition to the Guanning Army guarding Liaodong, Hou Ye's team is reliable, if you don't transfer you, who else can you transfer? Could it be that you can count on those boys in Jingying? ”

"Haha, my father-in-law is really funny......" Xia Nan stretched out his hand and pointed at him, "If I guess correctly, the emperor is not sure whether he can move me, and my father-in-law must have been burdened with the task of 'persuading' me to enter Beijing on this trip." If it goes smoothly and I bring troops into Beijing, will my father-in-law have any benefit? ”

"I can't hide anything from you." Fang Zhenghua couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "Long live Lord Chrysostom made a promise: As long as the Hou Ye enters Beijing, give me the position of the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the pen." ”

Xia Nan's eyes lit up, and in this way, the gold content of his alliance with Wen Tiren and Fangzheng was greatly improved, which was also a good thing for himself.

He arched his hand and said, "Then congratulate my father-in-law in advance." ”

"Rejoicing and rejoicing, Hou Ye and the prince Taibao are also gratifying."

"Hahaha......" The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
