Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

This is a change that everyone can experience firsthand!

The young and strong people who were not familiar with martial arts were particularly excited. They might have heard of martial arts in the past, or they might not have heard of it at all. Now they were suddenly taught such a miraculous method, which was simply amazing!

Believing this was the reason the righteous army was so powerful, they all trained with all their might, achieving increasingly remarkable results. Their excitement was undeniable. Some of the new recruits, who had some basic martial arts knowledge, had stumbled upon some techniques by chance, inherited from a master, or were simply seasoned veterans. While they knew the intricacies of martial arts, they had never seen or heard of such a sophisticated and superior horizontal martial art.

That was not all. What amazed and shocked them even more was that the rebels had so easily passed on such a foundation of inheritance that could serve as a secret method that could not be passed on to them, the newcomers!

And that was just five days after they joined!

How incredible is this!?

Chapter 459: Basic Martial Arts! Fight for a Spot!

It should be noted that the inheritance of martial arts has always been valued by all schools and sects in the world. It is a very common thing that it can only be passed down by direct descendants. Why did the rebels treat it so leniently?

Aren't you afraid that they will spread or leak this superior and exquisite method?!

When someone was discussing this, the instructor who was training them said something very impressive and meaningful:

"It's just a basic martial art, a way for new recruits like you to train. What's the harm if it gets out? My righteous army doesn't care. However, if there are short-sighted people who violate the military's prohibitions like this, they will naturally be severely punished!"

The description of "basic martial arts" left all the new recruits who had some basic knowledge of martial arts dumbfounded and stunned!

no......

Such an exquisite and superior method can only be evaluated as "basic" by the rebels?

Many people's first reaction was disbelief, but the instructor's indifference, as well as their various observations about the rebel army and their personal experiences in the barracks, seemed to confirm his statement.

But such shocking facts are indeed contrary to the common sense they know.

Many people were shocked by this incident.

Because it’s terrifying when you think about it!

This is still basic, so what is advanced?

What are the so-called advanced martial arts among the rebel army?

It is hard for everyone not to feel excited when thinking about this.

Even new recruits are taught such martial arts. Doesn't that mean that if they can make contributions in the future, they will be bestowed with even more superior and exquisite martial arts?

After realizing this, everyone became almost fanatical!

Although those young and strong people were exposed to such a martial arts system for the first time, they were not fools. What they considered to be the method of heavenly soldiers was just basic knowledge in the mouths of the instructors. Well... apart from anything else, they all shared the same passion in their hearts.

At this point, no matter what purpose the new recruits had in joining the rebel army, whether it was to make a living, to gain a chance to advance, or any other thoughts, at this moment, there was only one thought left, that is, to train like hell! Learn like hell!

In this way, I hope to make contributions and be appreciated in the future!

In addition to physical training, daily reading and literacy courses are also a major category.

After persisting for a month, I can't say what I have achieved, but at least I have a rough understanding of the words and characters, can understand military orders, and have a rough understanding of simple provisions.

This is truly a blessing for the new recruits, most of whom are illiterate.

In the past, they could have found good jobs anywhere with their ability to barely read and write.

How could such a change not make the recruits ecstatic after realizing it belatedly?

To be honest, in the beginning, many people actually complained about this, thinking that being a soldier was just about fighting, so why would one need to study and learn to read?

Most of them are incomprehensible.

However, no matter how much they didn't understand or complained, the rebel army's rules were like that and the instructors were strict, so they dared not disobey. But after suffering for a while, they gradually discovered the benefits.

It would be better to say that they all know the benefits of reading and writing, but they just don’t think that such unsophisticated people like themselves can really learn and understand those elegant words!

But when they were really forced to learn and gradually understood some of it, they suddenly found that it was not very difficult, and most people burst out with great enthusiasm.

In the Song Dynasty, literary style was prevalent. No matter what people said, they probably yearned for it in their hearts. Now there were ways to learn, and there were various incentives. In addition, there was a spirit of competition within the barracks. How could they not put all their efforts into learning?

Even some uncouth people who really had no intention of doing so were forced to learn it.

You have to learn. Some people who come from the same humble background as you and were playboys like you before, can now speak in flowery words and preach a bunch of profound truths. Who can tolerate this?

It can't be that everyone else can do it but you can't, right?

Furthermore, the classroom does not simply teach reading and writing. Some military theories and knowledge related to marching and fighting will be covered. Although it is relatively rough and simple, it is invaluable to the new recruits who originally could not even recognize a few big characters!

This alone is enough to make everyone take it seriously.

Not to mention, the instructors would occasionally mention some higher-level knowledge that might be involved in the future. Without a basic understanding of the written language, you wouldn't even be qualified to attend the class, so don't blame yourself for being a soldier for the rest of your life.

The rebels put the opportunity clearly in front of everyone, and whether they can seize it depends entirely on their personal actions.

Regardless of how everyone thinks about words like these, or whether they believe them, just looking at the various trainings before their eyes, everyone can clearly feel:

The rebel army has real skills!

Whether you can learn it or not depends entirely on yourself!

Once you realize this, even the laziest person will find it hard not to take it seriously!

The longer they stayed in the barracks and the more they learned, the more determined and trusting they became. They even obeyed all the arrangements from the bottom of their hearts, and they eagerly hoped to be integrated into the rebel army with both body and mind.

So, when they learned that after one month of training, the ten most outstanding soldiers would be selected to go to the [Military Academy] for further studies, everyone's hearts burst out with great enthusiasm!

They all worked hard to train and study, all in order to compete for these ten spots.

At the beginning, everyone may not be very clear about the value of it.

But if you stay in the barracks for a while longer, you will understand.

Even for newly recruited soldiers, the initial training has so many benefits. If they are selected to study and further their education at the Military Academy, wouldn't their future be even brighter?

Is it a more profound military strategy? Or a more exquisite and superior martial arts inheritance? Or perhaps a broader space for advancement?

Everyone was speculating, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became.

Who doesn’t want a spot like this?

But when everyone asked about the selection criteria for the instructors, they only got the answer "Just good performance is enough".

But what is good performance?

Is it better martial arts? Or better literacy? Or a deeper understanding of military tactics? Or better discipline?

However, faced with so many doubts, the instructor just smiled and said nothing.

As a result, everyone was inevitably a little nervous, and they dared not relax in any training and learning, for fear that they would fail in any one of them and be eliminated.

And now...

After a month, all the efforts are finally paying off!

Chapter 460: Quota Selection! Zhu Chongba: Brother Huayun, I hope you can create a great situation in Fengyang!

There was silence on the barracks grounds.

Everyone looked eagerly at the instructor standing in front of them, waiting for his final decision.

The instructor was usually quite serious, but now he was much more relaxed and even had a slight smile on his face.

He stood before these hundreds of new recruits, his expression quite pleased. He spoke loudly, "This month's training has been very effective. From now on, you can finally be considered soldiers of our righteous army! Remember that military orders are as heavy as a mountain and must be obeyed! And military regulations and discipline! You must keep them firmly in mind!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a booklet from his bosom and unfolded it directly. "I told you that day that the ten best performers would be selected and recommended to enter the Military Academy. Now is the time to announce the results. Those who hear the names, step forward! Step forward!"

Under everyone's nervous and expectant gaze, the instructor opened the roster.

"Zhu Chongba!"

"To!"

Among the hundreds of people, Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm, yet his heart was inevitably tense. Hearing his name first, he was instantly overwhelmed with indescribable joy and excitement. Fortunately, he was a man of great foresight, and after a month of barracks training, he had already honed his military style. His face showed no emotion, but he simply answered loudly, stepped forward solemnly, and stood before the instructor.

"Zhu Chongba, good! This is the recommendation document for going to the Military Academy. Here, take it!" The instructor looked at the new recruit he had always paid attention to. Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant and responded appropriately, he nodded with satisfaction and took out a stamped document from the booklet and handed it over.

Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became slightly faster. After saluting, he took it with both hands and glanced at it quickly, but did not look at it carefully. Instead, he stood solemnly waiting for the instructor's next instructions.

"Haha, just stand here for now. We'll talk about it later when all the vacancies are announced."

"Yes!"

The instructor turned around and saw everyone's envious and expectant eyes. He smiled slightly and continued to read out the names.

"Xu Da!"

"To!"

“Tang He!”

"To!"

"Deng Yu!"

"To!"

"Huayun!"

"To!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the brothers who came, and a hint of smile flashed across his face.

It turns out that all of his fellow villagers are great people, so it seems there is no need for them to separate.

Xu Da, Tang He and others who came over dared only glance at him from the corner of their eyes, not daring to say anything, and all stood there in silence.

Ten people were selected from hundreds of people, and the Mingjiao Fengyang team where Zhu Yuanzhang was located occupied most of the places. If you think about it carefully, it is amazing!

However, the recruits had no doubts about this. Not to mention that there was no possibility of cheating within the rebel army, just after training together for a month, it was clear who was capable and who was not.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his men were indeed powerful, and everyone had to admit that.

All ten spots were announced, and the instructor issued each one with a recommendation letter for admission to the Military Academy. He then looked at the remaining recruits, who were clearly feeling a little disappointed, and shouted in a deep voice, "In the righteous army, the capable have always been the most successful! If you have the ability, there will be a good place for you! The reason you weren't selected is just four words: your skills are inferior to others!"

I think you should have an idea of ​​this!

but......

There are many opportunities within my rebel army!

Those who weren't selected don't have to worry about the uncertain future. You will be assigned to the bandit suppression army, responsible for clearing out the bandits and other troublesome activities in the surrounding area. If you can make outstanding contributions, you will have a bright future! Now! Stand still! Line up!

Hundreds of people straightened their expressions and quickly lined up. The ten vacant positions were filled in an instant and everything was in order again.

Half a day later, the troops were reorganized and combined with several other new recruits to form a 3,000-man bandit suppression army.

After one day of rest and three days of adjustment, they set out on the fourth day to wipe out the surrounding bandits.

The ten people who were selected to study at the Military Academy came to another barracks on the second day with their recommendation documents.

I didn't start further studies immediately, and I took a day to recover.

At night, Zhu Yuanzhang and his old brothers from Fengyang rested in a tent in preparation for the next day's classes at the Military Academy.

only......

Zhu Yuanzhang tossed and turned for a long time, but he was still energetic, not at all sleepy, and couldn't fall asleep.

When he opened his eyes, it was pitch black, with only a faint light shining from above. He pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Brothers? Are you all asleep?"

"Brother Zhu, are you asleep?"

"Huh! I'm so excited that I can't sleep at all."

"Hey, if I had known that everyone couldn't sleep, I wouldn't have to hold back all the things in my heart."

Listening to the whispers of his brothers, Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "Everyone has been selected, so it's natural to be happy. I'm the same. I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When I think about entering the Military Academy tomorrow, I lose all desire to sleep."

As the words fell, everyone murmured in agreement.

"I wonder what they'll teach at the Military Academy? It really tickles my fancy."

Zhu Chongba recognized the source of these expectant words, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and chuckled softly: "Brother Hua Yun, I remember a month ago, you were clamoring to go back to Fengyang, our hometown, to recruit soldiers and start an uprising. I haven't heard you mention this much recently. How is it? Do you still have any ideas now? Brother Zhu, I will definitely support you, but I won't go back with you. I will be a small soldier here in the rebel army first. I hope that you, Brother Hua, can make a big difference in Fengyang. Maybe we brothers will all join you in the future!"
