Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"The world?"

Three thousand teenagers recited this word silently. For a moment, they didn't know why the superior general in their eyes would say such a word. The world was still too far away from them, and it was not something they could understand now.

"This is the world. It stretches thousands of miles across and covers the seven kingdoms, and our Qin State is the most powerful among the seven kingdoms." Yang Mingdao.

In the still blank sight of the three thousand young people, Yang Ming asked again: "Some of you have traveled hundreds of miles to come to Shanglin Garden, and some of you have even traveled thousands of miles to come here. What are you doing? ?”

"To get ahead."

"To have enough to eat."

"To make mother happy."

"Don't be bullied."

Some brave people rushed to answer.

"What about other than that?" Yang Ming asked.

As the teenagers were thinking, Yang Ming continued: "Some of you are from Hedong, which once belonged to the Wei State, and some are from central Guizhou, which once belonged to the Chu State. Some of you are here to get ahead. , some do it to have enough food, some do it to make their mother happy, and some do it to avoid being bullied. These are all good, but have you ever thought about what you will do when you enter this military camp? ?”

"It's a war," someone answered.

"Yes, it is a war, but during the war, you will kill the enemies, and these enemies are people like you. For example, those of you from Hedong County, when we fought with the Wei State, your The enemy is from the Wei State, and decades ago, you were also from the Wei State. How would you feel if you killed such a person?" Yang Ming asked.

For a moment, the young men from Hedong County all fell into deep thought. Their ancestors were from Wei, but now they are from Qin. In the future, they will kill those Wei people. Such a thing seems too complicated. It was beyond their understanding.

"Some of you are from Qianzhong County, which once belonged to the Chu State. A few decades ago, maybe your grandfathers were still from the Chu State. But in the future, when we fight against the Chu State, you will kill Chu people, are you willing to kill enemies who may have been citizens of the same country as your grandfather?" Yang Ming asked.

"Well, we don't have to fight the Chu people." An innocent young man replied.

"Then you disobeyed military orders and should be executed according to law." Yang Ming said solemnly.

The innocent young man just now was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"You people from Hedong County were once from the Wei State, but in the more distant past, you were from the Jin State. It was the Wei State, Zhao State, and South Korea that divided the Jin State." Yang Ming continued.

"Your Qianzhong County was from the Ba Kingdom earlier, but was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom in the Ba Kingdom. In this case, it seems that you have a reasonable reason to attack the Chu Kingdom."

Am I from Qin? My grandfather is from Wei? Are my ancestors from Jin?

Am I from Qin? My grandfather is from Chu country? Are my ancestors from Pakistan?

Who am I? For a time, many teenagers were in trouble because of Yang Ming's words.

They don't even know who they are?

"What I want to tell you is that no matter who you were in the past, you are all Qin people now. The past is no longer important. What is important is the present. At the moment, you are Qin people." Yang Mingdao.

"In this world, there are people from Qin, people from Wei, people from Chu, people from Zhao. In the long past, there were people from Jin and people from Zhou. But these are not important. You just need to remember that now you are the people of Qin. People are enough.”

"We are from Qin." The teenagers muttered to themselves in a daze, and their minds that had been shaken just now slowly stabilized.

"For five hundred years, the world has been experiencing constant wars. Some countries have been destroyed, while others have risen. In this process, we, who may be members of this country today, may become members of another country tomorrow. , In war, no one can get the real paradise." Yang Ming said.

He spent so much time telling these teenagers these things that seemed to have nothing to do with military training, not to waste time, he wanted to let these teenagers understand step by step what they were fighting for, and what he wanted to shape Bring out the military spirit of this army.

As for why Yang Ming chose these young men who did not have much combat power, instead of the imperial soldiers from other departments who had gradually formed, it was naturally because the three views of these young men were easier to guide.

Yang Ming wants to create a common ideal for these teenagers, and then condense an existence called the military soul.

Although ideals seem ethereal, sometimes they can burst out with power beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It would be too difficult to talk about ideals with those elite soldiers from all over the Qin State. When it comes to ideals, they may be more concerned about how much an enemy's head can be exchanged for.

However, benefit can move people's hearts, while benefit can scatter people's hearts. Compared with short-term benefits, Yang Ming is more willing to spend more time and energy on these teenagers to create ideal existences.

"I tell you all this to tell you that you are here not only to eat well, to make your mother happy, and to get ahead, but also to complete the great cause of unifying the world for Qin. You will be here in the future. Soldiers, but they are not soldiers who only know destruction and destruction. The weapons in your hands are to make this world without war."

…

"With the weapons in our hands, we will build a country without war. In that country, there will be no Jin people, Wei people, Chu people, and Ba people, only Qin people, and everyone in the world will be Qin people."

What happened in the Shanglinyuan military camp naturally could not escape the attention of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, the recruitment of three thousand young men was only completed with the cooperation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Morning exercises, first chapter of writing, common knowledge of ancient history, sword and shield skills, riding skills, use of long weapons, military discipline, archery... The young people in Shanglin Garden seem to be under a lot of pressure." Lu Buwei looked at the people from Shanglin Garden The schedule I got made me laugh.

"Is this too much of a waste of time? How can a soldier need to learn so many things?" Lu Qi asked doubtfully.

"It's a waste of time. With such a schedule, those teenagers only have four hours of rest a day. The rest of the time is either training or studying literary arts such as history and military discipline. Jixia School The life of the scholars in the palace is nothing more than this." Lu Buwei put down the bamboo slips in his hands and couldn't help but marveled.

"It is precisely for this reason that Yang Ming recruits these teenagers into the military camp, because only these teenagers can Yang Ming train an elite soldier that satisfies him." Lu Buwei said.

"What can three thousand people do? Even if one is equal to ten, compared with the resources invested, it is a loss-making business." Lu Qi wondered.

"When doing business, you can't just focus on financial gains and losses." Lu Buwei said.

Under Lu Qi's doubtful eyes, Lu Buwei continued: "If Yang Ming dies in a wrong way, the military strategist will definitely have another great master before he is forty years old, but what path will he take? "

When Lu Buwei said this, he looked a little regretful.

Today, there are hundreds of masters in the world who are respectfully called "Grandmaster" because of their strong cultivation. Therefore, there are not a few Grandmasters in the world, but there are only a few who can let the world add a big character to them before "Grandmaster". Not much.

In terms of combat power, a grand master may not necessarily be stronger than a grand master, but a grand master must have achievements that are difficult for a grand master to achieve.

The Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu never practiced martial arts in his life, but once he attained Taoism, he directly entered the realm of a great master, and finally reached a realm unimaginable by the world.

Of course, Lu Qi didn't know about these things. His understanding of masters and grand masters was still at the level of martial arts, but based on Lu Buwei's experience, he knew the difference very well.

After all, he himself is also pursuing the way of miscellaneous families, hoping to use it to become a great master.

In Yang Ming, Lu Buwei also saw a path that could lead directly to the realm of the Grand Master. Unfortunately, it was only a chance, but it may not become a reality. There were too many variables, especially the possibility of being able to match the power of the king. blend.

The army is just a weapon, and the royal power is to hold its hand. However, if the army has its own thoughts, will it be willing to hold its hand?

"However, people who have ideals and can implement them are always worthy of our respect. If Yang Ming had been born twenty years earlier, I would have become friends with him." Lu Buwei stood up and moved a little because A body that is too old to sit for long periods of time.

"I'll leave it to you to be the Secretary of the Hujun Mansion." Lu Buwei suddenly said to Lu Qi.

"Father, you want me to go to the Protectorate and become Yang Ming's subordinate?" Lu Qi said in shock.

You know, three years ago, he was still thinking of subduing Yang Ming for his own use, but now he was going to become Yang Ming's subordinate. The gap was too big.

"Why, you don't want to?" Lu Buwei asked.

"Father, I am the Minister of History, but the official of Thousand Stones is still under Yang Ming. If I take up the post, how will others see me?" Lu Qi mustered up his courage.

Serving as an official in the Hujun Mansion and under Yang Ming's command was too... Lu Qi had too many reasons to refuse Lu Buwei's request.

But there were only reasons, but not enough courage.

Under Lu Buwei's sight, Lu Qi's stubbornness quickly disappeared. In front of Lu Buwei, his courage was limited after all.

In the Xianyang Palace, King Qin Zheng was reading the history books obtained from Shanglin Garden and used to teach young soldiers, with a look of thought appearing on his brows from time to time.

history? Can you still write like this? Can it actually have such an effect? A whole new world is opening towards Qin Wangzheng.

We are collecting the names of supporting characters to complete the officials of the Protectorate, as well as the names and characters of the main characters in the Forbidden Army. Interested book friends can leave suggestions.
