Chapter 997: Protest
The students in the barracks had a keen sense of smell, and gradually sensed the prince's intentions, and the result was completely beyond Xu Hao's expectations, facing the heaven-sent opportunity to become the future emperor's cronies, at least half of the students were unwilling, while the other half were ecstatic.
But among the students who had experienced the torture of the military camp and understood the hard work of the military profession, some of them quickly hesitated. People's ideals and aspirations are diverse, all roads lead to Rome, today's Ming Dynasty is not lacking a good career, to be an official, to be a clerk, to be a clerk, to be a worker, to be a teacher, to be a scholar, to be a poet, to be a landlord, to do business and go to sea to inherit the family business, etc., etc., it can be said that the hereditary iron rice bowl of Jinyiwei is at least not so attractive for these young people from well-off families.
Jin Yiwei is undoubtedly a shortcut back to the south of the ancient world for the network of later generations, you can play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, you can be a fox and a fake tiger, you can realize your ambitions at the fastest speed, if you are good enough, it is indeed the best choice to cross the Ming Dynasty, and you can avoid being mermaid at the worst.
And the normal people of the Ming Dynasty would not choose, just like the vast majority of people would not be engaged in security work, and few scholars were willing to be Jinyi guards. And not everyone is a careerist, they all want to be close to the emperor to show their ambitions, not to mention that there are very few who can become gods, there is no prophet who transcends the times, Jinyiwei is just a martial artist with a bad reputation, and the lucky ones are just close ministers of the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, these students still want to live a stable life, be able to support their families, marry and have children peacefully, do not provoke unpredictable rights and wrongs, and be respected.
In the end, there are only a few who are really willing, and the status of the military has not been improved enough to be on an equal footing with scholars, and the reality is far from it.
The rules of the barracks are that as soon as "our leader" or "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" is mentioned, they must be corrected immediately. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the crown prince, those officers mentioned the "food and clothing" of their subjects more and more frequently every time they spoke, and even the unwilling students had to continue to stand upright. It's annoying. But who would dare to offend this "rule"?
The military is becoming more and more explicit, with the intention of asking students to voluntarily join the East Palace Guard, but things must be reversed, and finally someone came up with an idea.
The military camp imitated the most popular speech contest on campus, and the theme was nothing more than loyalty to the country, military vocation, etc., a student actively signed up and made serious preparations, and he collected the prince's remarks that he could hear.
When it was his turn to give a speech, the first thing he said was "Chitose said". From the beginning, I began to quote a few words from Zhu Zhanji somewhere. So, from the stage to the stage, I listened to the sound of knocking heels.
Everyone had just taken a break when he mentioned "our leader" again, so everyone hurriedly stood up again. This classmate quoted Zhu Zhanji's words so much, which is unprecedented since the Hongxi Dynasty, and the number of times he mentioned "our leader" and "His Royal Highness the Prince" is also unparalleled, probably so flattering to a prince. It's unprecedented.
In just half an hour, he was stunned that everyone followed him more than fifty times, anyway, the classmates didn't know what he was talking about, and they didn't have time to understand his content. But he was interested in why he kept calling everyone to stand upright.
Gradually, everyone understood, and then every time this guy pretended to take the lead, it would cause a burst of laughter in the audience, like the comical baggage of a stand-up comedian. Although there was no cross talk in this era.
However, he himself did not laugh at all, he was very serious, and of course the officers sitting in the front row of the audience did not laugh. Repeatedly accompanied him to stand up and stand upright, and the clanging sound of the spurs on his heels was incessant, making the students around him look very funny.
Everyone said in their hearts that it was really interesting that this clever guy used such a clever method to make a fool of the officers and soldiers. The most interesting thing is that even if these adults guessed the orator's prank, they were helpless, who made the whole story praise the prince's leader, blameless.
After the speech, the audience burst into applause and laughter. With so much applause, it was impossible not to let him be rated as the winner, and when he was commended, the classmate went to the stage, and the big guy applauded warmly in the audience, but he was the only one who applauded.
Thousands of households are not stupid, and they can see it more or less, in order to avoid suffering from this bad guy again, they don't let him give an answer. Then I saw that the classmate made a regretful face to the classmates in the audience, which caused another laugh.
In the face of the sarcasm of the students, the officers of the Ming Dynasty could no longer give them the opportunity to scandalize themselves, so they soon announced a new regulation, in the future, if they mentioned "our leader" or "His Royal Highness the Prince" in their speeches, they only needed to stand up once for the first time, and when they mentioned his old man in the future, they did not need to stand up for the old man again.
This was undoubtedly a victory for the students, and some of the students who had been hesitant to join the new Jinyiwei realized the thoughts of most of their peers, and also dismissed the decision to become the prince eagle dog because of the tradition of scholars who had always been disgusted with attacking the powerful.
Soon, an instructor deliberately punished the classmate, punishing him for endless laps on the playground, and several other students couldn't help but step forward to reason with the instructor.
The instructor thought that the student had hurt his majesty and scolded: "What are you guys? Damn it! ”
The students also scolded back politely, and the instructor beat them neatly, beating them so that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and this time there was a disturbance, and the students began to call on all their classmates to help protest.
Demonstrations similar to the May Fourth Movement were born in the Ming Dynasty, with unarmed students marching in a row of four, arm in arm, toward the headquarters of the barracks, shouting protest slogans along the way, "Punish the murderers!" ”
The slogans advocated by the school were also used, such as "It is immoral to open your mouth to scold people, and it is barbaric to beat people with your hands", "It is forbidden to insult and abuse students", and "Oppose the Yiyantang and dissolve the concentration camps!" This is naturally from Xu Yu's handwriting.
The students walked to the door of the office building in an orderly manner, stopped, and shouted slogans, asking Qianhu to come out and answer.
The first time an officer of Xiaolingwei experienced this, he couldn't help but wonder how to deal with it, the people were indeed beaten, could they still arrest everyone?
Fortunately, today's military camp is different from the past, and if there is anything to do, let's find a staff officer, so Qianhu said to a few staff officers: "You find a way to solve this matter."
The staff officers consulted with each other, and sent one to say to the students, "If you have something to say, what will it be like to get together?" So you can choose a few representatives to go in and report. ”
Although the students did not know the usual tricks used by the government during the May Fourth Movement to deceive the student leaders and arrest them, the group of dragons would disperse without a leader. They shouted one after another: "We don't have time to elect representatives, so we quickly called thousands of households to come out and answer in person." ”
At this time, a classmate suddenly threatened: "Don't think that we are really easy to bully, sue you, the second young master of the British Mansion is among us." ”
Xu Yu was stunned, he didn't expect his details to be known, and he glanced at Zhao Fuzi, who had an unnatural expression, and knew it in his heart.
The staff officer was stupid and hurriedly ran in, and soon Lord Qianhu had to come out, looking at his hasty look, his face was red and white, and he was obviously frightened.
Qianhu squeezed out a smile and said: "You guys are not good like this, gathering crowds to coerce and threaten the yamen, this is a very strict crime, the light is the board and the heavy is imprisonment and exile, go back quickly, forget it this time." ”
The students were enraged and protested, "Your instructor beat your classmates, and we came to report to you and demand punishment for the culprit, how can it be called coercion?" How did it become a threat to the yamen? "For a while, none of the classmates retreated due to fear and other reasons.
Seeing that it was ineffective, Qianhu simply pushed the matter and said innocently: "We also have to report the beating to the top, let's go back and listen to the Hou's treatment."
Of course the students don't do it, and the first instructor still uses the military department to deal with it? How long did the army become so advanced and civilized? Even the military court trial came out? The military trial was indeed proposed by Xu Hao three years ago at the behest of some staff officers, and he didn't know if it was right or not, so he put forward a concept first.
It was obviously prevarication, and the big guy insisted on answering the instructor who dealt with the beating like this immediately. At this time, more and more students rushed to hear the news, almost all of them came, and those who didn't want to be different didn't want to be different, and some of them had an attitude of watching the excitement.
There were a lot of people, and there were students shouting and shouting everywhere, and the form suddenly became strict and nervous. According to the usual practice, Xiao Lingwei immediately transferred a team of soldiers and scattered around the students.
But the students are not afraid of soldiers with live ammunition at all, and there is a kind of you try to shoot? Apparently they do not know how governments will deal with the demonstrators in the future.
At this time, a person who looked like a senior staff officer came out and muttered a few words in Qianhu's ear, probably because the commander had sent an order.
Qianhe's attitude was even kinder, and he smiled: "It's not right to beat people, they should be dealt with immediately, and the commander decided to send the instructor who beat people to the military justice department." On behalf of Xiao Lingwei, Xia Guan hereby apologizes to the students who were beaten and gives compensation. ”
Obviously, the commander is much more clever than these martial artists, and he knows that the students with Xu Hao's support are not easy to mess with, so he quickly gave in. Then several soldiers came over with the beating instructor, and the students applauded together, thinking that they had won.
Xu Yu knows very well that there are no soldiers who do not protect their calves, and the more happy the classmates are, the more impossible it is to deal with them, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers, but it is just a formality.
Some students decided to take advantage of the victory and want to abolish the nasty rules such as corporal punishment and drilling, saying, "We have other requests, please answer them." ”
Qianhu is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very clever, and said with a smile: "Everyone's suggestion, we must discuss, and reasonable must agree." ”
Such a few empty words sent hundreds of students away, and they were not deeply involved in the world. (To be continued......)
