Ming Zuo

Chapter 393 Gathering together

The new army officer academy welcomes a peculiar person.

The peculiar thing is that compared with the vigorous appearance of other colleges, this person has gray temples.

But you can see that this is a real soldier.

His spine is tall and straight, his steps are steady, his face is dignified, and he has an aura of no regrets.

This person is naturally Zhang Keda.

Following Zuo Menggeng for several months, Zhang Keda thoroughly saw the strength of the new army.

But what really conquered him was something else.

Zhang Keda saw a scene that he couldn't even imagine.

The common people are not afraid of the new army.

No matter what state the soldiers of the new army are in, whether in wartime or in ordinary life.Even when the soldiers of the new army were walking on the street, the common people were calm and natural when they saw it, and even dared to take the initiative to chat.

No matter the soldiers or generals of the new army, they never bullied the people.

When encountering people in difficulties, the new army will take the initiative to help.

Zhang Keda saw with his own eyes that after a heavy rain, the houses of the common people collapsed, and the soldiers of the new army rushed into the ruins to save people without saying a word.

Even though the house was in danger of collapsing a second time, those young guys didn't hesitate for a moment.

It is precisely because of their bravery that the people buried under the ruins survived.

What made him even more unbelievable was that none of the property of the common people was lost.All were properly sorted out by the soldiers and then returned to the people.

What kind of army is this?

Seeing where the new army went, the people eagerly stuffed all kinds of food and food into the hands of the soldiers, for fear that they would not want them.

The soldiers repeatedly refused and resolutely refused to accept things from the common people. The most stubborn part of Zhang Keda's heart was also touched.

Thinking back then, when he led the army to fight, all the people he encountered avoided like snakes and scorpions, as if the army of the imperial court was more terrifying than the thieves.

In fact, it is so.

He knew too well the virtues of the officers and men.

When I heard that Zuo Menggeng was going to rebel, Zhang Keda only thought that he was delusional.

In the hundreds of years of Chengde in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China.

But when he made a comparison today, he had to be convinced.

Walking in the military academy, the students who were training in the distant playground sent the loud and surging singing to his ears.

[All soldiers of the new army should keep in mind, three disciplines and eight points of attention...]

This is a song that everyone in the new army can sing. He has listened to it many times by Zuo Menggeng's side, and he has already mastered the lyrics by heart.

At this time, bathed in the warm sunshine and feeling the vibrant new world, Zhang Keda couldn't help but sing along.

In this life, I only hope that I will command such a strong army to bring peace to the world and keep the people in peace!

Zhang Keda was led to the Academic Affairs Office, and in the corridor outside, there were several people waiting like him.

"Ah, Zhang Zongrong, you... you also..."

One of them recognized Zhang Keda and was quite surprised.

Seeing this person, Zhang Ke was greatly surprised.

"You are Brother Shen Xun and Shen Yu? You also joined the new army?"

It was Shen Xun who recognized him.

Seeing the general he once admired and looked up to, now wearing a new army uniform, Shen Xun was filled with emotion.

"It's not just me, Zuo Zhongji, Jiang Runong, Jiang Ruxu are all here, but the three of them never joined the army."

Shen Xun changed his mind and asked curiously, "Zhang Rong also..."

Are you rebelling too?
The old man Zhang Ke blushed a little and then retreated.

"The great kindness here is the only one who can save this world."

Shen Xun understood and said with a smile: "Zongrong Zhang is a famous general in the world. With you here, our army is even better than before."

Zhang Keda sighed: "Now that you and I have become robes, I can't be worthy of the honor of being a general. I am a few years old. If you don't dislike it, call me brother."

Shen Xun also understood that since Zhang Keda was here, he would no longer be the general Denglai soldier of the imperial court.

In the military academy, regardless of their previous positions, they can only be called students here.

"Brother Zhang, please give me more advice in the future."

Zhang Ke responded with a big laugh, then looked at the other people, only to recognize someone with a familiar face.

"This brother is not under the city of Laizhou..."

Gu Erzhong snorted and said coldly, "That's right, I'm the one who rebelled. I didn't expect you, a dignified general of the imperial court, to come and mix with us idiots."

Shen Xun said solemnly: "Gu Erzhong, the audience said that the army is a melting pot. The purpose of all of us here is the same, that is to build a brand new world. You have been oppressed, and we have also encountered A lot of injustice. That's where we share the same goals, so we're not enemies, but comrades."

Gu Erzhong snorted coldly and did not respond.

Obviously he understands what Shen Xun said, but if people want to change, it must not be that easy.

Compared with Gu Erzhong, the other former rebel was much more easy-going.

"Hello, Brother Zhang, we have played against each other before, and I am Bai Dasheng."

Zhang Keda looked over suspiciously.

"But the one hundred victory of Murong Cai's number one general?"

Bai Dasheng touched his head, quite embarrassed.

"It used to be."

Zhang Ke was greatly embarrassed.

"When I fought with you several times, I never took advantage of it, and I once sighed that I didn't want to have such talents in the White Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, the times have changed, and we have become Paoze."

Bai Dasheng is also emotional.

"Our army is strong, benevolent, and righteous, and participating in the seat is even more polite and corporal. My little brother is not a stubborn stone, and you should understand what the right way is."

Another one took the initiative to stand up.

"I'm Tang Wenhuan. I was originally the deputy company commander of the Second Division and Second Regiment. This time I also came to the military academy to study."

Obviously, these people used to have different identities, but because of the collective army, they came together again.

Just when a few people were chatting, a person walked out of the teaching office and said to them: "All come in."

Several people were busy putting away their ramblings, lined up in a queue, and walked into the room one by one.

After Zhang Keda entered, he discovered that the person sitting behind the desk was actually Huang Zongxi.

Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Shen Xun salute very seriously.

"Report to the political commissar, student Shen Xun will report to you."

"Report to the political commissar, student Gu Erzhong will report to you."

"Report to the political commissar, student Bai Dasheng will report to you."

"Report to the political commissar, student Tang Wenhuan will report to you."

Zhang Ke is not stupid, seeing this, he also understands what he did.

"Report to the political commissar, student Zhang Keda will report to you."

Huang Zongxi had come out from behind the desk and came to Zhang Keda.

"Zhangrong Rong, welcome. The participant said that you have joined our army. When I first heard the news, I was very skeptical. I thought, how could this small temple of our new army hold a famous general like you?"

Zhang Ke was ashamed.

"The general of the defeated army originally wanted to apologize with death. Still in the middle... I woke up at the seat, and after many days of practice, I only realized the truth of the Dao."

The former Huang Zongxi stood in front of Zhang Keda. He was a celebrity, an outstanding scholar, and a rising star in Zhang Keda's eyes.

But today's Huang Zongxi is still young, but he is Zhang Keda's boss.

Zhang Keda still felt a little awkward, but Huang Zongxi had already adapted to his identity.

He said in an instructive tone: "I have already received detailed information about Dengzhou. The root cause of the failure is not you, so you don't need to blame yourself. Since you have come to the new army, then start all over again, study hard, and bring the most powerful force in the future. The army will pacify the world, and the party will live up to the ambition of Honghu."

Zhang Keda was also quite surprised. For some reason, listening to Huang Zongxi's teachings, there was no sense of disobedience.

How did he know that after these days of edification, he had already regarded himself as a member of the new army in his heart.

Therefore, in the face of the teachings of the boss, naturally I don't feel anything wrong.

After the gossip was over, Huang Zongxi began to enter the text.

"Zhang Keda, although you have just joined our army, you have been the chief military officer of the imperial court. You have been commanding the army for many years and have rich combat experience. Therefore, it is inappropriate to start from the grassroots level. After discussion by the military department, you can directly enter the senior class of the military academy. On the day you complete your studies, you will be awarded a military post based on your grades.”

Zuo Menggeng also thought a lot about Zhang Keda's arrangement.

Zhang Keda had already achieved the best military officer, even if he was destitute, it would not be suitable for him to be a big-headed soldier.

In addition, there are age restrictions for the soldiers of the new army. Zhang Keda, who is in his forties, will become a soldier. If he violates the regulations, can he survive the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

This arrangement is not to comply with the rules, but to humiliate people.

Therefore, after discussions between Zuo Menggeng and Huang Zongxi and others, they thought that Zhang Keda would directly enter the senior class of the military academy and serve as a regiment-level officer after he came out.

He has a wealth of combat experience himself, so even if he doesn't learn the courses of the junior class, the impact is not very big.

If you can master the skills of the senior officers of the new army, you can basically go to school.

Contrary to Zhang Keda, Shen Xun and others belonged to leapfrog promotion.

"You are the best among the junior students. According to the regulations, you should return to the army after graduation. But you also know that our army is expanding rapidly, and senior officers are very scarce. So after research, it is decided that you You will be directly promoted to the advanced class, and you will have another appointment after you finish your studies.”
