The world started by Daqin Mingyue

Chapter 162
While Duan Murong was plotting against her master Nian Duan for her School of Physicians, in another place in the same area, there was a real battle of gold and iron: the Palace of Military Academy.

As one of the top three school palaces among all the school palaces, because of its particularity and the number of people far exceeding other school palaces, this place is not as impressive as other school palace buildings, but its However, it occupies the second largest area among many schools, and it has become an unshakable existence in this position. The school grounds, barracks, and training grounds made by simulating various terrains, and even the city walls, all of which make The Military Academy has become one of the most extensive ones among the many schools.

Of course, even in this case, it can only rank second, because there is an agricultural school that ranks first on the list. For the agricultural school whose main business is farming, the vast farmland under its name has long been overwhelmed. It becomes an unshakable existence.

The students here include ordinary peasant youths from various counties in the Qin State, the heirs of different titles within the Qin Army, and even the children of the Qin State general family, but no matter where they come from or how they were born, here they all have One identity, also a common identity, is the student.

Meng Ao, an old man in his 70s, is too old for this era, but he, who should have taken care of himself, has found the meaning of his continued existence because of this academy.

His qualifications, status and 50 years of battlefield career make him the best candidate for the host of this military academy. This veteran who has found his own meaning in life does not make everyone in the academy daunting at this time. Majestic, at this time, he is like an ordinary old man, sitting on his knees behind a desk, his straight waist and well-groomed beard and hair tell others that his energy is still strong, and he can still use his own way. Contribute your own strength to the Qin State that you are loyal to.

However, at this time, the master, he could only kneel and sit on the guest seat, because the master seat ushered in its real master today: Qin Wangzheng.

Compared with two years ago, Yingzheng has not changed much at this time. If there is one thing to find, it is that he is taller. Although he can't compare with those born with abnormalities in this era, but in Among his peers, he was already able to look down on ninety-nine percent of the people.

Of course, although he has been carefully groomed by the people around him, the beard with some traces can still be found to tell the world that he has grown up.

"The three thousand young men selected from Yanmen County and Dai County may actually become an army next year?" Ying Zheng, who was kneeling on the throne, put away the roster on the table and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, those youngsters will be able to graduate in three months. However, it will take half a year to train the [-] youngsters from Yanmen Dai County into a strong army with the [-] youngsters as the core. In the past six months, this army that the king has placed high hopes on can truly become a strong army." Meng Ao, who was always prepared, had already made a draft in his mind after the question of Ying Zheng was asked without hesitation.

"That means it will take another nine months." Ying Zheng tapped lightly on the bamboo slips that he had rolled up, thinking.

Nine months is not too long, but Ying Zheng had to consider the plan he had made. The Zhao army had been besieged by the Qin army for more than two years on the southern Great Wall of Zhao. Like an inexhaustible hole, it devoured all the resources of Zhao State.

Although the State of Yan has already formed an alliance with the State of Zhao, Yan Wangdan, who is determined to forge a new army for the State of Yan, has limited power to support the State of Zhao in the face of the national strength of the State of Yan. It is in a weak state, but once Zhao State has passed the three-year crisis, the new generation in Zhao State will be able to form a large army again, and Ying Zheng obviously does not want to face such a Zhao State, so he must not slow down in Zhao State. Before coming to strength, take Zhao Guo completely.

"Nine months is too long, I can only wait for six months," Ying Zheng said.

"Six months is not impossible, but that will eventually cause some unavoidable damage to the combat power of this new army." Meng Ao pondered.

"The battlefield is the best way to teach them. After a few battles, they will be enough to become a strong army. Don't let an old general spend too much time on them alone. They are really superior. They first They are soldiers of our Qin State, and then we can talk about other things." Ying Zheng said lightly.

Of course, he knew what Meng Ao meant. If there was an extra three months of running-in period, then the internal integration problem of this army could be completely resolved, so that this army could reach the most perfect state. From a general's point of view, Such considerations are entirely correct.

But Meng Ao is a general in the army, but Ying Zheng is not, so he has to consider more issues.

As for Yingzheng's order, this new army will cause greater casualties in the confrontation between the two armies due to its failure to complete internal integration. This is not important to Yingzheng, as long as it does not affect the outcome of the war. He can still bear the price of more casualties.

"No." Seeing that Ying Zheng had already made a decision, Meng Ao naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Whether it was because of his status as the king of Qin, or one thing after another in the past few years proved that Ying Zheng's decision-making had his own higher considerations.

"How's the old general doing?" Ying Zheng, who had already made up his mind on business affairs, changed the subject and asked about Meng Ao's personal affairs.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the old minister's health, and..." Meng Ao said here, showing a hesitant expression.

Years ago, because his body was too old and his time was running out, for a person of his age, the matter of life and death was already indifferent, even if he died, Meng Ao would not have any regrets.

However, just when Meng Ao was able to face his own death calmly, he sent a pill from Qin Palace.

Although Meng Ao, who has always been skeptical about these things, has no interest in the elixir, but because he is from the Qin Palace, he is really not allowed to refuse.

Meng Ao, who had no hope but could not refuse, took the elixir, and what happened afterwards completely refreshed Meng Ao's three views.

He is very clear that his time is numbered, not because of illness, but because of aging. Faced with such a situation, even if a master doctor comes to the door, it is impossible to end, but such a pill saved him from dying. Pulling back from the edge, he could clearly feel that his body was slowly rejuvenating during this year, and it was not a problem at all to live for several years.

But Meng Ao didn't know how to answer Ying Zheng's question at this time. Although he must and could only tell the truth, he was also afraid of making Ying Zheng addicted to this way.

Meng Ao is well aware of how tempting longevity is for a person like Yingzheng, and the king in front of him is already close enough to the Yin-Yang School of Taoists. If Taoists look at it differently, Meng Ao doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

What's more, he was also worried that his situation was just an example, and because of his special situation, he would give Yingzheng a wrong understanding.
