1635 Han style rises again

On March 3, Jianye City Army School.

Qi Zi'an gnawed on a steamed bun, chewed it tastelessly, and squinted at the few companions beside him who were devouring the food on the table. Good food.

As the third son of King Qi, with two older brothers above him, and his mother is Princess Champa, it is naturally not his turn to inherit the throne.However, he has been taught by the words and deeds of the King and Queen of Qi since he was a child, as well as the strict control in the palace. If he is to be a lazy, idle and rich prince in the future, he seems to be a little bit unwilling.

Three years ago, when his two older brothers entered the Naval Academy for three years of military study and practice for the children of the royal family, Qi Zian suddenly felt that he had a goal to strive for.To become a soldier, especially to become a great commander like Han Xin, Huo Qubing, Yue Wumu, Xu Da... and many other famous generals in ancient times, to kill the enemy and destroy the country, to shine through the history, and to prancing on the battlefield all his life, what is this? wanton carefree.

Therefore, when he turned 15 years old, he excitedly entered the army according to the royal family's regulations.Unlike his two elder brothers, Qi Zi'an did not choose the naval school, but joined the army school and became a young soldier.

However, less than a month's life in the army made the third prince, who had been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, suddenly overwhelmed.Not to mention the boring daily training, even the daily rough meals made him feel like years.

However, when he returned to the palace during the ten-day vacation, he saw that his two elder brothers didn't say anything about the hard work in the army, but instead looked like they were enjoying themselves. Qi Zi'an didn't dare to cry out in front of his father and queen.Naturally, he doesn't want others to underestimate his youthful disposition. Furthermore, he has a subconscious sense of honor in wearing a military uniform.

However, with the passage of time, Qi Zian gradually adapted to life in the military camp.Moreover, because he has a formal and solid foundation in basic education, as well as his extraordinary life experience, he soon became the "leader" of his new student team, and gained a group of honest and passionate fans.

It wasn't until months after Army school that he understood why his two older brothers had chosen the Navy school.Because, compared with the army school, the naval school requires high professional knowledge and basic mathematical literacy.The army school seems to have much lower requirements for this. As long as you have basic cultural knowledge, a healthy and strong body, and can complete the school's entrance test, you can enter the school.

Moreover, in the army of Qi, the navy has always been in a dominant position. Not only is it the largest in size and number (the number of combatants in the navy has exceeded 300), but it also has a high prospect and status, and it also recruits 400 students every year.As the main body of Qi's land combat force, although the Marine Corps has more than 300 people and is organized into six battalions (including one artillery battalion), it is subordinate to the Navy.

As for the only army establishment, it is only a cavalry unit of less than 800 people, and it is only doing some inland exploration, capturing Hanzhou natives, and sporadic battlefield sentry and messenger work. protagonist in .

Therefore, in view of the relatively small scale of land warfare, the army school only recruits less than 100 students each year, and it is simply divided into several categories such as infantry, artillery, logistics, and cavalry. …

The Naval Academy is next to the Army Academy. The distance between the two places is less than 200 meters. Because of the different types of arms and the fact that the Navy has always been in an absolute dominant position, the naval students who are future naval paramilitary officers feel a little superior , when entering and leaving the school gate and encountering the army "savages" at the opposite gate, they all showed their eyes above the top, with a strong sense of superiority on their faces.

"Those fur seals are at it again!"

Qi Zian was cleaning up the garbage and sundries in front of the school with a few companions, when suddenly someone yelled, and everyone looked for their reputation, only to see several naval cadets coming from the Naval Academy, looking menacing.

"What's the matter, are you unconvinced by the loss?" A strong army cadet greeted him with a sneer, "Do you want to continue practicing?"

"You guys are smart!" A naval cadet at the head raised his head and said contemptuously, "Last time you tricked us, and we naturally refused to accept it. At noon tomorrow, do you dare to go to the mountains and fight again?"

"Why don't you dare! It's ridiculous for you to say that we are cheating when you are obviously inferior to others!" The army cadet said without showing any weakness: "How do you play? Single training? Or group fighting?"

"We are fighting generals!" said the naval cadet: "Nine people will be sent out from each side, and the one with the most winners will win. The loser will take ten silver dollars as a tribute. In addition, everyone will do five hundred push-ups on the spot."

"Just fight, I'm afraid of you guys!" said the leading army cadet, "Remember to prepare all your allowances when you come tomorrow, lest you lose money!"

Qi Zian and a few companions shouted mockingly at the departing naval students, if these "sea dogs" were in the water, they might not be able to do anything to you.But if we are on land, how dare we dare to fight against our army? When the time comes, we will definitely beat them so that our parents can't recognize them. In the end, we will obediently take out the small monthly allowance and let me wait for a big meal. It's good to have a tooth festival.

"Tomorrow, we need to send a few senior students over there to watch, and don't cause any trouble." In the distance, an instructor from an army school couldn't help smiling and said to several instructors around him when he saw this.

For the organized "fighting" between the students, to compete with each other's fists and kicks, to vent excess energy, whether it is a naval school or an army school, the instructions and instructors above all turn a blind eye. Will not deliberately suppress.After all, this can give full play to the blood and courage of the students. However, if the use of ordnance and the like will seriously endanger personal safety, it is strictly prohibited and will be severely punished.
-

"Ah!" Relying on his height and strength, Qi Zian pushed the naval student in front of him away, kicked him hard, and kicked him to the ground.Immediately afterwards, one jumped up, and quickly fitted himself and rushed over, pressing the opponent to the ground instead.The right hand firmly pressed the opponent's neck, the left hand pressed the opponent's struggling right hand, and the right knee pressed against the opponent's soft belly, forcing the opponent to be unable to move.

The naval cadet who was pinned to the ground struggled for two to three minutes, and finally exhausted his strength, and spread his hands dejectedly.

Qi Zian carefully let go of the naval cadets on the ground, then slowly stood up, raised his hands high, and shouted a few times in the direction of the naval cadets in a demonstrative manner.By this time, seven rounds of the competition between the sea and land students have been held, and the army students have won four games. In the last two games, as long as they win one more time, they will win the final victory. These proud "sea dogs" will be defeated again. Step on your feet. …

"Luo Zian, great job!" A group of army students surrounded him, patted him on the shoulder and applauded loudly.

Several princes joined the military academy to study. In order to conceal their identities a little, they did not use the surname Qi, but uniformly used the queen's surname Luo.The deans and instructions in the military academy are well aware of this.However, under the special instructions from above, no extra care was given, and he was treated like an ordinary child.

If the naval cadet on the opposite side knew that his opponent turned out to be a prince, he might not have dared to swing his fist in his face, and even punched him until his nose bleeds and his face was bruised.

"What do you want to come here? Don't think that we dare not beat you just because you are higher than us!" Several army students suddenly saw a high-ranking navy student approaching from the other party, and immediately stopped him, thinking that the other party Not upset that one of his students was beaten, he wanted to come and take revenge on Qi Zian.

"A bunch of barbarians, get out of the way." Qi Ziye said with a smile, "I'm his friend, come and see his injuries."

Several army students turned to look at Qi Zian.

"He...his father has some connections with my family." Seeing his second brother coming, Qi Zi'an said a little coyly, "We are...friends."

"Zian, you're good at fighting!" After walking to a secluded place, Qi Ziye looked at the third half-brother in front of him, and said with a smile, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Qi Zian involuntarily reached out and touched the bruise on his face, hiss, it still hurts.Oh, and there was also a faint pain in the left rib, "This sea dog, you are ruthless enough!"

"I'm also a sea dog?" Qi Ziye couldn't help but said angrily: "You army barbarians are not polite to our navy at all! No wonder you always want to separate from us!"

"...Second brother, one yard belongs to one yard. In the army, you and elder brother are sea dogs. When we get home, it is naturally my good elder brother and good second brother." Qi Zian said with a smile: "Hey, what did you just say? What do you mean by separation? Is our Marine Corps going to be separated from the Navy?"

"General Niu Hu, the commander of the marine corps, formally proposed to the military department more than ten days ago, requesting that the marine corps be placed under the army's jurisdiction and no longer under the navy. However, there are still some disputes and no resolution has been reached."

"It's time to separate the family. I heard from our instructor that the marines in the navy are raised by their stepmothers. They are restricted everywhere in terms of military expenditure allocation and personnel expansion. You said, we have such a large land like Qi. There are also many overseas territories, and the total number of all armies is less than 3000, which is obviously unreasonable."

"Zian, how long have you been in the army, don't rely on others to make such judgments." Qi Ziye shook his head and said: "Although the territory of Hanzhou is vast, there are only some ignorant and backward natives scattered on the land. It is necessary to use a large army to conquer and suppress. In addition, the Nanyang Islands that our country is currently facing are fragmented and covered with forests and swamps, and they are not suitable for large corps operations. Therefore, the land combat force can only maintain this small and lean force Scale. It is impossible to raise an army of [-] to [-], but there is no room for it to be used. Wouldn’t that be a waste of state money?” …

"Ah?" Qi Zian stared blankly at Qi Ziye, feeling that his words seemed to make sense.For more than [-] years, our Qi State has used troops in the Nanyang Islands. It seems that only a few hundred people are dispatched at a time, and no more than a thousand people at a time. With some auxiliary local soldiers, we can defeat the enemy and conquer the city.

Even in the huge battlefield of Ming Dynasty, every time a battle is launched, it is launched along the coast and along the river with the cooperation of naval warships. There have been times when the number of troops exceeding 2000 people has been mobilized, but the core armed forces dispatched by Qi itself , but only [-] people, most of the military force is still armed with local forces controlled by the Ming army and Qi State (including the township soldiers, the self-rescue army, and the loyal army).

"I think, in the future, our country of Qi will definitely have an army with a force of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people." Qi Zian said unwillingly: "Otherwise, how will we conquer and control such an army in the future? With such a vast territory, how can we realize our great wish of Qi to rule the world? It won’t be possible to let you sea dogs drive warships to land, right?”

"Then just wait!" Qi Ziye rubbed Qi Zian's head with a smile, "At least for ten years, your army will not expand much. The important task of maintaining the security of our country depends on our navy. As long as we The navy is getting stronger and stronger, and no foreign power dares to invade our homeland and many overseas territories. Although our warships cannot sail on land, as long as our warships sail to the enemy's coast and place artillery in the enemy's port, the other party will inevitably succumb. And Nashun."

"That's not necessarily the case. If someone refuses to surrender and surrenders, and insists on fighting, can you still swim ashore?" Qi Zian said: "In the end, don't we have to rely on our army to go ashore and subdue the enemy? surrender!"

"Hey, what's the point of arguing with you!" Qi Ziye said helplessly: "The land and sea disputes in our country of Qi involve all aspects and need to be considered comprehensively. We two students can't decide anything."

"Hey..., that's true." Qi Zian grinned, but he didn't want to shake the pain on his face, and suddenly grinned a little, "Oh, that's right. I was fighting with people in the army, so don't go back to the palace Tell my mother. Otherwise, she will surely cry with me."

"Fighting in the army is a common thing, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. Of course I won't talk nonsense when I go back." Qi Ziye looked at Qi Zian's face with bruises and purple spots, and couldn't help laughing, "By the way, next time you fight with someone, Can you protect your face? You can't see people like this."

"I haven't fought a few times yet, so I won't have experience for a while." Qi Zian thought for a while, and said seriously: "In the future, I will definitely learn a lesson and never let my opponent bully me again. Hey, have you and your elder brother fought many times before?"

"Hehe..., that's natural."

"Is it the same as now, being beaten by our army students all the time, and surrendered?" Qi Zian saw that the battle over there seemed to be over, and it was no surprise that the army students won again, and everyone was in high spirits. Cheers and applause.

"...I haven't lost much." Qi Ziye looked a little embarrassed, and was about to change the subject, "By the way, next month, I will officially board the ship for sea training. It is estimated to last eight months and sail all the way to India , the journey is two to three thousand miles."

"Wow!" Qi Zi'an looked at Qi Ziye enviously, "Since I was young, I have been to Montenegro (near Palmerston, Australia) as far as I can, and I haven't been out to sea by boat yet."

"It is said that we have five warships on this patrol, including a Han-class thousand-ton battleship. This powerful sea force is enough to form an absolute coercion against the foreign countries along the way, and it will show that our country Qi Great national power."
