Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 297 The Admission Site of the Third Phase of the Royal Military Academy

Capital, Royal Military Academy.

This is a military academy located not far from the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Hanlin Academy, covering an area of ​​thousands of acres, and it is the first military academy built in the Ming Dynasty with a combination of Chinese and Western architectural features. The emperor's second son Jingwang Palace, so it can be regarded as a bit of nobility.

Gu Sanmazi and Qi Changguo arrived in the capital almost on the same day, and on the same day they arrived at the Royal Military Academy to enroll.

Gu Sanmazi didn't know a few words, and he didn't even have an official scientific name. Just a few days ago, Zhu Youxiao personally gave him a scientific name, named Gu He, named Zhenhai!

The name is very simple. Like Zheng He, they all use the word "He" as their name. Naturally, the implication is that he hopes that Gu Sanmazi can be like Zheng He in the past, and then make a name for Ming in the sea. The meaning of the word is more direct and easy to understand. As the name suggests, it is to revive Daming's marine career!

However, after seeing the notice about the selection system for the third phase of the officer cadet examination at the Royal Military Academy, he was still a little embarrassed, because he couldn't understand the content of the notice at all, so he couldn't know what the school was testing for, so he had a personality Being rude, he immediately scolded his mother: "Isn't this playing tricks on me, my uncle? What the hell is written in it? How can I test it?"

Also standing in front of the notice, Qi Changguo, who was wearing a gown with arrow sleeves and a good appearance, couldn't help but sneered. Although he secretly laughed at such a rude and illiterate man who came to take the exam at the Royal Military Academy, he still bowed his hands to Gu Sanmazi with good intentions: " This brother has invited you, which means that you need to issue a recommendation sticker from an introducer or have three letters of guarantee from fellow villagers, and then start registering at the Xuanwu Hall of the school at Maoshi tomorrow."

"I know, but you look like a scholar, and you have a lot of knowledge, why don't you go to the imperial examination to become an official, why do you come to serve this bowl of rice, brother, you are a kind person in my opinion, Kindly advise you, it is better to go home, marry a wife and study at ease. If you mess around here, you have to not be afraid of death!"

It was the first time for Gu Sanmazi to come to the capital, but it was difficult for him to get acquainted with someone who could talk because of his banditry. Now that Qi Changguo took the initiative to talk to him, he suddenly opened up the chatterbox and couldn't shut up.

But Qi Changguo just smiled and said nothing, although he knew in his heart that although this person's words were rude, he didn't mean anything bad, so he didn't say much.

But at this time, Gu Sanmazi put his arm directly on Qi Changguo's shoulder: "Brother, what's your name, tell my brother, my brother invites you to take a bath, it's still nasty, brother, I just tried it yesterday. In Ledufang not far away, there is a girl named Mei Xiang who is very tender and very good at work, especially good at that, that kind of pushcart that those scholars like."

Qi Changguo couldn't help but blush, he had a very strict family upbringing since he was a child, and he was afraid of avoiding such romantic things, how could he listen to the invitation of Gu Sanmazi to take a bath, and even couldn't help saying angrily: "Brother, please respect yourself!" , otherwise Qi will be impolite!"

"Hehe, you still dare to threaten your third master Gu, do you know what your third master Gu was doing before? If this is my previous temper, I would have used your head as a chamber pot long ago!"

Gu Sanmazi said.

Qi Changguo boasted that he was the son of Qi Jiguang, and he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Gu Sanmazi, so he didn't say anything else.

Seeing that he was bored, Gu Sanmazi ignored him.

On the second day, the two came to Xuanwu Hall to sign up at the same time, and they both took the referrer's post to sign up. Gu Sanmazi was recommended by Yan Yingyuan, the inspector of Nanzhili. And Qi Changguo was recommended by Li Mingrui, a cabinet scholar.

Although the door couplet in front of the Xuanwu Hall of the Royal Military Academy reads, "Please go elsewhere for promotion and fortune, don't enter the door if you are greedy for life and fear of death", but it is still inevitable that many people will come to the Royal Military Academy to seek wealth. So it's not that the applicants will pay attention to the origins and registration methods of other students.

At that time, there were already some people discussing that in the recruitment of the third batch of military officers, there would be Qi Changguo, the son of Qi Shaobao and already a thousand households, who would sign up. Other than that, there was someone recommended by the minister, who was actually a certain high-ranking official nephew and so on.

And when someone saw Qi Changguo's recommendation post, they suddenly realized that the person in front of them was Qi Changguo of Qianhu who captured Zuo Liangyu alive in Huguang and was summoned by His Majesty in person. Suddenly, many people came to curry favor.

"Brother Qi will definitely be able to enter the Royal Military Academy, so here's my congratulations first."

"Brother Qi, you are willing to come here to be an ordinary student after giving up a high position and high salary. I really admire his strength of character!"

"That's right, brother Qi is the son of Qi Shaobao, he can be said to be the son of a general!"

Although Qi Changguo expressed humbly that he didn't dare to be self-confident, but he was a little smug in his heart, and his chest could not help but raise a little.

But Gu Sanmazi glanced at it with disdain. His recommendation post just now was also seen by sharp-eyed people, and most of them were disdainful when he was just a pirate until now.

Gu Sanmazi didn't care either, he came here to apply for the exam by order, and he didn't want to come here to be controlled, so there was no pressure.

He was able to pass the physical fitness test at the beginning, and his grades were not bad, but in the cultural test, he was in a daze, so many places were left empty. At that time, he even wrote directly: "Simple, if the imperial court is willing to allocate enough salary to me, I, Gu Sanmazi (blacked out) and Gu He, can pacify the Zheng family within half a year with a guarantee rate of 1!"

And during the on-site interview, Gu Sanmazi was even more casual, casually talking about his previous experience as a pirate.

And Qi Changguo is a very frank and serious answer to the interviewer's topic.

But when the final result came out, Gu Sanmazi succeeded in becoming the third batch of officer students in the Royal Military Academy, while Qi Changguo was losing the election instead.

This made Qi Changguo very surprised that what he had learned since he was a child was how to form an army, and his cultural knowledge was not bad, not to mention his physical fitness, but he was not selected.

Gu Sanmazi didn't even expect that he would be successfully selected, and he was still in class A. He had already learned that the class A of each officer cadet was the best class. Classes are generally one level higher than students in other classes.

Neither of them knew that this was a deliberate arrangement by His Majesty Zhu Youxiao. Qi Changguo was not someone who was willing to argue. He showed a lonely and disappointed expression for the first time when he encountered setbacks in his first attempt.

Seeing this, Gu Sanmazi couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Brother, why do you do this? Although you lost the election, there is still a make-up exam. Go and try it. Don't think about these things tonight. Please, brother!" How about you go take a bath, it's still dirty, let Mei Xiang serve you personally, not to mention anything else, just because you are the son of Gu's most admired person."
