The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1466 The Role of Reading (II)

The military officer and the soldiers looked at Fang Yun and his son with extremely strange eyes.

Zhang Jing'an looked confused and said, "You are kidding me. Of course I can't be a general now! Do you have to help me if I say I want to be a general?"

Fang Yun said seriously, "I am your father. Since you want to be a general, I will naturally do my best. However, you can see that you don't even have a literary title, so you can't be a general."

"Of course I know!" Zhang Jing'an was ashamed and annoyed, feeling embarrassed.

Fang Yun said, "Since you want to kill monsters and destroy barbarians, but you can't be a general, I think you might as well start as a soldier. If you can't even be a soldier, it seems to be an insult to human soldiers to say that you kill monsters and destroy barbarians! What's more, even if you don't have a literary title, as long as you make great contributions, you will have the opportunity to become a general."

"Really?" Zhang Jing'an widened his eyes.

The military officer next to him seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"Of course." Fang Yun answered seriously.

"Then I will start as a soldier!" Zhang Jing'an showed joy, his eyes full of longing.

Fang Yun nodded gently and said, "Okay, this is a good man of the Zhang family!"

Then, Fang Yun looked at the military officer and said, "I ask Jin Han for a favor. My father and I want to serve as soldiers in Jingxiwei temporarily. Everything is the same as ordinary soldiers, without any privileges. After entering Jingxiwei, I will take off my Hanlin uniform." Fang Yun said.

Zhang Jing'an looked at Fang Yun, not knowing what he wanted to do.

The military officer smiled bitterly and said, "Please wait for a moment, my lord. I will ask for instructions from my young master." After that, he turned around and walked back to the barracks quickly.

The two stood at the door, and the strangeness in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides still did not disappear.

"You... won't play tricks on me?" Zhang Jing'an looked at Fang Yun, looking uneasy.

"Of course not, I just help you achieve your ambition." Fang Yun said.

"Are you so kind? I don't believe it!" Zhang Jing'an became more and more vigilant.

Fang Yun said seriously: "After all, you are my flesh and blood. I have not seen you for ten years. I owe you a lot. Before I go to Liangjie Mountain, I will try my best to make up for you. If I can't let you fulfill your ambition, I will not feel at ease for the rest of my life. Scholars should cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country and bring peace to the world. If they don't teach their children well, they will not manage their families well."

"You didn't lie to me?" Zhang Jing'an asked again.

Fang Yun's face was serious, and he said: "I swore to Wendan that I definitely didn't lie to you."

Zhang Jing'an showed shame, lowered his head, and whispered: "I didn't expect you to swear on Wendan. I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have made random guesses."

Fang Yun showed a loving smile, reached out and touched Zhang Jing'an's head, and said: "My ambition in the first half of my life was to point the sword at the holy way, and my ambition in the second half of my life is to train you into a man."

"Well." Zhang Jing'an's eyes were slightly red, and he took a deep breath to cover it up.

After a long time, the military officer walked out quickly, and his expression was also a little strange.

"Lord Zhang, please forgive me for not being able to see you recently. When your matter is settled, he will certainly drink three cups of wine to make amends. As for your requests, they will all be met. If you have any problems in the barracks in the future, just come to me directly." The military officer said with a smile.

"May I ask what your surname is, brother?" Fang Yun said.

"My surname is Fang, my name is Yuan, and I am a personal soldier of the young master. My rank is not high, but I am also important in the Jingxi Guard." Fang Yuan smiled.

Fang Yun thought that he was actually a family member, nodded slightly, and said: "Then I'll trouble Brother Fang, why don't you take us in now and start our military career."

Fang Yuan's eyes were puzzled, but he nodded immediately and said: "Just do as you say, please."

Fang Yuan took Fang Yun and his son into the military camp, and introduced the Jingxi Guard as they walked.

In order to unify the military system, the Confucius Wenjie learned from the human race many years ago.

An ordinary guard has 3,000 people, but the Jingxi Guard guards Jingzhou, and there are 5,000 people in one guard.

Normally, all activities of these 5,000 people are confined to the camp. Only during the field drills once every ten days will half of the people leave the camp.

Along the way, many people looked at Fang Yun.

Not long after, Fang Yuan took Fang Yun to a single barracks, which had two beds, a wardrobe and a table. There was nothing else. The furnishings were simple, but very tidy.

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord, your Hanlin uniform is too eye-catching. I think you should change your clothes first. What kind of military uniform do you want to wear temporarily? From sergeant to battalion commander."

Fang Yun looked at the room and asked, "Is this for the two of us to live in?"

"Yes, this is specially prepared by me." Fang Yuan said.

Fang Yun said: "Find us two a set of ordinary soldier uniforms, the most ordinary uniforms, without military positions. Then assign us two to ordinary large barracks. From today on, you will treat us two as ordinary soldiers. Go and do it."

Fang Yuan was stunned. This man was indeed the Marquis. His words were unquestionable. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Yes, sir. Anyway, from now on, whatever you say is what I will do."

Soon, Fang Yuan brought military uniforms, and Fang Yun and Zhang Jingan changed into them.

Fang Yun had military experience and was very calm, but Zhang Jingan was a little excited, even if the clothes were a little big, he didn't care.

Fang Yun glanced at the jubilant Zhang Jingan, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Yuan tentatively asked: "Then I will take you two to the barracks of the tenth battalion first?"

Fang Yun frowned slightly and asked: "Go to one of the first three battalions."

"This... the first battalion is the personal guard of the young master, and the second and third battalions are all elite soldiers. Their training and requirements are more than twice that of ordinary soldiers." Fang Yuan said.

"How can you be a general if you are not an elite soldier!" Fang Yun's words were loud and clear.

Zhang Jingan nodded vigorously immediately, agreeing very much.

"Okay! Then I will arrange you in the third battalion, the tenth team, the first squad. You two can rest today, and I will help you adapt to the military life tomorrow." Fang Yuan said.

"No need, just take us there, we will do whatever the soldiers of the first squad do!" Fang Yun said.

Although Fang Yuan was helpless, he immediately said: "Okay! Look at this time, the third battalion has finished running the barracks and is training their bodies. After that, they will practice weapons and finally practice military formations. In the afternoon, they will repeat running the barracks, training their bodies, training weapons and military formations. If it is not the first three battalions, there will be no big training in the afternoon."

"Well, let's forget about missing the barracks today. Take the two of us to the location of the third battalion and train our bodies together. Jingan, run!" Fang Yun said.

"Yes!" Zhang Jingan agreed happily, "I'm too idle in the city. This is the life I want. Men should serve the human race and fight on the battlefield!"

The three of them ran slowly towards the parade ground.

Soon, the three of them came to the training ground of the third battalion, where there were five hundred people in one battalion.

On the training ground, some people held stone locks and kept raising and lowering them to hone their strength; some people walked quickly on the plum blossom piles to practice footwork; some people held stone pillars and walked slowly; some people tied sandbags on their bodies and ran quickly on the training ground; and some people stood in horse stance, bare-chested, and let two people take turns to hit them with wooden sticks...

Zhang Jing'an saw this scene, his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and he wanted to join in immediately.

Fang Yun said: "Jing'an, you are still young, you have to take it step by step, start with the simplest, walk on the plum blossom piles, walk for two quarters of an hour and then run with sandbags tied to your body."

Fang Yuan looked at Fang Yun with a strange look. The plum blossom piles looked simple, but it was definitely not the simplest way to strengthen the body. This Hanlin could not have been unaware of it, after all, he had led soldiers.
