There were two "dong dong" sounds, and a man in military general's uniform could not stand steadily and swayed twice. He quickly stabilized his legs and stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot, making a dull sound.
Although the sound he made was too far away to be heard by people, his movements were clearly seen by Yunxi who was standing on the high platform. He pointed at this person and said in a deep voice: "You, get out of the queue!"
The man was very panicked, but His Majesty himself did not dare to disobey the call and dragged his tired legs out of the queue.
"What's your name? Where are you from?" Yunxi asked.
"Your Majesty, the student's name is Liu Rongbao. He is from Luoyang, Henan, and was born in Luoyang Guard." He knelt down and said.
"You can't even stand still. How can you be a military commander of the Ming Dynasty! You will be expelled from school and placed on probation!" Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty!" he shouted. Expulsion from school and probation are the second most severe punishments after expulsion. What's more, the more important thing is that expulsion from school and probation can only be revoked if no mistakes are made in the next one year, but he He is already in his second year and does not have one year to revoke the punishment, which means that he will carry this punishment with him until graduation.
This means that he will not have a diploma. If he passes the exam, he can only get a certificate of graduation. If he fails the exam, he will be expelled. His father is only a member of a thousand households, which means that when he returns to his hometown, he will not be able to do anything unless he has made meritorious service in the war. There is no hope of promotion.
He still wanted to plead for mercy, but Jin Chun, the vice-principal of the Jiangwu Hall, suddenly put his hand on his shoulder, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have been lax in governing the Jiangwu Hall. Please punish me."
Yunxi said to Jin Chun: "You can't control what students do when they are not in class. How can this be blamed on you? Get up quickly."
Jin Chun apologized again and then stood up.
At this time, Liu Rongbao also understood what he meant and did not dare to continue talking. According to Yunxi's character, if he continued to plead for mercy, it is likely that Yunxi would expel him completely in a fit of anger. He would be expelled from school, placed on probation, and might even be dismissed from school. Certification is better than expulsion. According to the rules established by the Ming Dynasty's military, anyone who is expelled from the martial arts hall will never want to be a military general in his life, and even his hereditary inheritance will be deprived of him.
At this time, Yunxi also felt that his legs were trembling and could not hold on any longer, so he said: "I allow you to rest for one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, you will gather as before. Now disperse."
Most of the students in the audience could hardly hold on any longer. After hearing Yunxi's words, some people sat down on the ground and stretched out their legs to rub them. Others sat on the steps and when Yunxi couldn't see him, they took off their clothes. After taking off my shoes and socks, a stench suddenly spread out.
The place where Yunxi was located was upwind, so naturally he couldn't smell the stench. He was sitting on the Grand Master's chair and was talking to Jin Chun.
Today is the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. After paying homage to his grandfather, Yunxi spent a few days processing all the memorials accumulated during his tour of Chuzhou, and today he came to inspect the martial arts hall.
As soon as Yunxi arrived at the martial arts hall, he called all 600 students from two grades to the playground regardless of what classes the students were taking. He didn't say a word and just let them stand like this for a full hour.
"Your Majesty, although Liu Rongbao failed to meet His Majesty's requirements, isn't the punishment of being expelled from school and being placed on probation a bit too harsh?" Jin Chun whispered to Yun Hei in plea.
"I also stood for an hour, and they also stood for an hour. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have had less and less time to practice, and they will lead troops to fight in the future. This man named Liu Rongbao is not as persistent as I am.
It will take a long time! I have given him a very lenient punishment of expulsion from school and probation, and it cannot be changed," Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty, you can walk freely on the high platform, but they can only stand. How can this be the same?" Jin Chun cursed. However, as an emperor, Yunxi didn't sit down for a whole hour just now, and he didn't have any shade. He allowed sweat to drip from his chin.
It's really not easy to drip onto the feet.
"And I see that although many people persevere, they are still unable to stand firmly. The physical fitness of the students in the Jiangwu Hall is so poor." Yunxi continued.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to strengthen their physical training?" Jin Chun asked.
"Well," Yunxi said, "I have decided to cut down on other classes and let them run every day, half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening, without any rest in between."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Chun agreed.
"Also, I want to teach them to walk in step and step," Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty, what do we mean by walking in step and walking in step?" Jin Chun asked.
"You'll find out later when you take a look." Yunxi said.
After a while, the director of the department blew the whistle, and the time for burning incense had come. All the students immediately ran to their classes and lined up. Those who had just sat down could just stand up and pat their butts.
.
"I think that although our army of the Ming Dynasty was brave and good at fighting, and drove the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains, their military appearance is not much different from that of the previous generations. Each of our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is a brave person, and they must be recognized by the people at a glance.
How can it be the same as it is now with all the praise?"
"You are all the elites of our Ming army, so I will teach you today." Yunxi said.
Yunxi's words were actually not complicated, but the people standing underground didn't understand what he was going to say. First of all, they didn't quite understand what military appearance meant. Later, Yunxi said, "You must win the hearts of the people at a glance."
The praises he received were even more incomprehensible to them.
At least since the Tang Dynasty, the government military system has collapsed and the army has been composed of professional soldiers. The gap between the people and the army has arisen. Especially since the Song Dynasty, the status of soldiers has been low and they have been discriminated against by the people. Officers are better, but people also envy civilian officials more.
How is it possible to win the praise of the people?
Yunxi didn't care whether they understood or not, and continued: "In order to let the people see the unique style of our Ming soldiers, I will leave it to you to walk in unison and goose-step today."
After he finished speaking, he personally demonstrated what walking in step and walking in step meant. He also asked his two guards to demonstrate what it meant to turn left, turn right, and turn backward.
The students in the audience were even more puzzled: These actions can allow ‘the common people to see the unique style of our Ming soldiers’?
Yunxi ignored their reactions and ordered the classes to practice the movements demonstrated by the guards just now. In each class, he sent a guard who had already learned it as an instructor to teach them how to walk in step and step in step.
He himself took Jin Chun and others to the vice principal's office. He had something to tell them.
