Lao Zhu said: "I established the Wu Lecture Hall to recruit talents for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty teaches martial arts starting from today."
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, according to Yunxi's instructions in advance, all the students knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" Because Yunxi had told him many times before, and these people were all from the military.
, and at the same time, everyone knows that if something goes wrong, they will 'show their face', so it's pretty neat.
Lao Zhu said with a smile: "Ping Shen."
The people below said again: "Thank you, my emperor, for your kindness." They stood up one after another.
Then I lit a few more firecrackers. In short, it was similar to the opening of a new store now. It was very cliché, but in this era, no one had seen it before, so it was quite surprising.
The opening ceremony was not long and ended soon after. The student queue was also disbanded, but everyone was notified before the disbandment: assemble in the auditorium before noon.
In the afternoon, all the students arrived at the auditorium on time. The auditorium was built by Yunxi after the fan-shaped lecture halls of later universities. It was very different from the architecture of the Ming Dynasty, especially the stepped shape of the interior and the tables and chairs nailed to the ground, which made the craftsmen laborious.
Mind, the focus of interior design is here.
Now that the students have entered the lecture theater, they are also very curious about its internal structure. The 'secretary', who was already waiting inside, hurriedly stepped forward and guided the students to take their seats.
The 'squad monitors' of each class played a big role. Yunxi knew that in this era, it was just the beginning of school, so it would be useless to appoint a student from an 'ordinary family' as a monitor. Someone who was more powerful than his family would definitely not be obedient.
Therefore, the monitor of Class 1 of Lu Normal University is Lan Yu’s second son Lan Lian, the monitor of Class 2 is Feng Sheng’s youngest son Feng Yuan, and the monitor of Class 3 is Fu Youde’s eldest grandson Fu Yanming. Nowadays, the powerful officials of various families are very concerned about their children’s education.
They also attach great importance to them, so these monitors are quite reliable.
After all the students were seated and quiet, Yunxi walked in. All the students stood up and saluted, and Yunxi waved for them to sit down.
Yunxi stood in front of the 'podium', glanced at the students below, silently relieved his nervous mood, and said: "Students, you are the first class of students in the Ming Dynasty Lecture Hall. Your ancestors are all
I, the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty, your fathers and ancestors fought hard for the Ming Dynasty everywhere in Mongolia, which is covered with ice and snow, in the northwest where the sky is full of yellow sand, and in the southwest where the miasma is everywhere."
"It was because of the bloody battles of your fathers and grandfathers that "Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China" became a reality, and "God's way is restored, and China must be rewarded" is not empty. Your fathers and grandfathers are not only the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, but also the heroes of the reconstruction of China."
The students below were all dumbfounded. How could anyone have ever praised their fathers and ancestors like this, and even raised them to the level of re-creating China's heroes? For a while, all the students sat in their chairs in a daze. Still not paying attention to Si, who was listening.
Seeing that Yunxi stopped temporarily, he quickly started to applaud, and the students followed suit.
Strictly speaking, Yunxi is not a nationalist. He can treat other ethnic groups equally as long as they are obedient. The Chinese nation is more of a cultural symbol than a blood symbol.
Then Yunxi began to talk about the 'purpose' of opening a martial arts hall: "Your fathers and ancestors were all proficient in literature, Taoism and martial arts. However, throughout the dynasties, three generations after the founding ministers, the family was often lonely. Have you ever thought about why this is so?
"
Yunxi waited for them for a few moments and then said: "I think this is because the ministers of the past generations often came from poor families and knew that their family fortunes were hard-won; but after three generations, they were indulged in enjoyment and did not think about progress. The reason why Your Majesty and Gu
The reason why you are called to study in the capital is to make you feel the hardships of your fathers and ancestors overcoming thorns and obstacles, so that you can work hard and make a difference, and inherit your father's legacy."
"But suffering is not the purpose. It is useless to just know how to endure hardship. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty imposed tyranny indiscriminately, and there are countless poor people in the world. But why are only your fathers and grandfathers standing out to earn this family fortune? This is what I want you to wait carefully.
Experience and understand.”
The students below heard this and talked a lot. Yunxi's words basically confirmed their bright future, but it also showed that it would be very hard. He was originally the eldest son of the family, and he was lazy and fearful of difficulties;
Those below the second son are eager to try so that they can gain a future for themselves.
Then Yunxi roughly stated the requirements: "So, the requirements of this martial arts hall are very strict. Anyone who violates the 'discipline' will be given a demerit once and will be expelled twice. Those who seriously violate the 'discipline', such as being disrespectful to the teacher, etc., will not be allowed to do so by the eldest son."
Xijue, the others will be transferred to other places to serve as soldiers. As you all know, the person in charge of Jiangwu Hall is Gu, and Gu will not accept any pleas. I hope you will do your own thing." After saying this, Yunxi left without any delay.
After Yunxi left, they could disperse below, and the clerk tried to guide them out. However, the place was buzzing, and the voices of twenty or thirty clerks were quickly drowned in the buzz.
Yunxi is written in vernacular throughout, and everyone can understand the few idioms mixed in. Yunxi's words are also straightforward, so no one understands Yunxi's meaning wrongly. The students are familiar with the people next to them, whether they are familiar with each other or not.
They were all familiar with each other, and they all got into heated discussions, some about promotion, some about hard work, and some about other things. It was Qi Tai, Zhang Shu and others who came over and slowly let them all return to the dormitory.
The dormitory is also built in the style of a modern university dormitory, except that the beds are made of wooden frames, and of course there are no upper and lower floors. There are six people in one dormitory, all of whom are in the same class and have little difference in status.
The entire school building and teaching classrooms are made of fired bricks, which are very strong. Yunxi originally wanted to build a two- and three-story building, but it was very slow to build a two- and three-story building with bricks without reinforced concrete, so he only built a two- and three-story building.
It can only be one layer.
The students returned to the dormitory, and except for a few people, everyone chatted with their roommates in the dormitory. Six students were chatting in dormitory No. 15, Building A.
The students in this dormitory include three students from the families of real ordinary soldiers. One is named Guo Wei, who was born in the Fujun avant-garde; one is named Geng Fu, who was born in Zhennan Guard; and the other is named Yu Hui, who was born in Yulin Left Guard.
At this time, a man named Chen Qi in the dormitory, who was from a hereditary family of Wuchang Wei, Huguang Dusi, and came from a thousand families, complained: "This house is really bad, and there are actually six people living in one room."
Guo Wei and the other three people have always been reluctant to accept such words because of their humble backgrounds. Another Peking Dusi, Zunhua Wei Qianhu, named Tong Yong, said: "Stop complaining, this is worse than the big-headed soldiers in Zunhua.
The accommodation is much better, and besides, what's the use of complaining."
Chen Qi said: "I came to class to become a high official in the future, not to suffer."
Tong Yong said: "Either what Your Highness said was very clear just now, or you have to suffer a lot and know how difficult it is for your father and ancestors to conquer the world before you can become an official. Why are you complaining?"
Chen Qi wanted to say something else, but he probably felt that what he wanted to say might be considered as "violating his will," so he just opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Tong Yong turned to Guo Wei and others and said, "When we met yesterday, you guys said you were from the capital. Where is there any fun place in the capital?"
Guo Wei, Geng Fu and others looked at each other. Geng Fu said: "Brother Tong, we just live in the north and west of the city. Most of the prosperous places in the capital are in the southwest and south of the city. We don't know much about it."
As soon as Tong Yong heard him speak, he knew that he had probably never been to those places. When he thought about the fact that they were all former soldiers, he knew the reason.
However, Tong Yong knew very well that after entering this martial arts hall, under the eyes of the emperor's grandson, as long as he performed well, he would be promoted. Unless he was a prince, his family background would not have much influence. So he still smiled and said: "Tomorrow
Once classes officially start, you can’t leave the school building at will. We might as well go out for a walk today, and we’ll have to study hard tomorrow.”
Geng Fu refused: "We appreciate Brother Tong's kindness, but we have just moved into the school building in the past few days and need to tidy up, so we won't go out with Brother Tong." Guo Wei and Yu Hui also agreed.
Although they rejected Tong Yong's invitation, Tong Yong didn't take it seriously and still said with a smile: "Then I will go out. If there is any new announcement from above, Brother Geng must remember to come back and inform me." Again.
To another person in this dormitory, Chen Ting, a former commander of Fengyang Imperial Guards, said: "Brother Chen, let's go out for a walk together?"
On the way back to the palace, Yunxi said to Qitai and others: "What do you think of Gu's speech?"
Lian Zining said: "What His Highness said is very reasonable, but the literary talent is lacking. It would be better if I could let you polish it up."
Yunxi said: "Lian Qing, do you think they are civil servants like you? This time, because the students are selected from the best, they have all read books and practiced calligraphy, but only one or two out of ten can become scholars; if it is Gu's speech
The rhetoric is too gorgeous, and I’m afraid not many people will be able to understand what I mean.”
Lian Zi would rather correct his mistake after realizing it: "Your Highness is right, but I thought it was wrong."
Yunxi added: "Qing Lian, after much thought, I'm afraid I can't manage the affairs of the Jiangwu Hall by myself. I want to appoint you as the 'Secretary Chief' to take charge of all other matters in the Jiangwu Hall except discipline. Can you?"
willing?"
Lian Zining bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I will obey your orders."
Yunxi then said to Chen Xingshan: "Gu Yu wants you to supervise the discipline of the students. If there are any violators, punish them severely. Is it possible for you to do it?"
Chen Xingshan said excitedly: "I will not disgrace my orders; if there are students who violate discipline and I do not punish them, I am willing to be punished."
After Yunxi finished arranging his deputies, he turned around and comforted Zhang Shu and others: "Gu Fei can't trust you, but I'm just not familiar with things in the Ming army. I'll keep you by my side to ask questions at any time."
Although Yunxi's words were sincere, Zhang Shu, Guo Zhen, and Geng Xuan knew that the real reason was that they had friendships with some students from the military academy and were afraid that they could not act impartially, so they did not let them take charge of the matter. However, they did not complain and spoke in unison.
