Chapter 1236 Dedication
Han Yi's language is still as infectious as ever. The surrounding imperial guards, even Cheng Yaojin and other generals were all awe-inspiring. Although Cheng Yaojin is an old hooligan in the army, he has always been proud of his soldiers. He has never been a soldier or fought on the battlefield, so he cannot understand their feelings.
It’s like the students in the square are all distracted and have no focus at all, as if they are watching a boring soap opera.
If it were someone else, it would definitely feel very embarrassing, but Han Yi was different. When Han Yi was in Fengfei Tower, he grew up in booing. He first intoxicated himself and said emotionally: "As we all know, I was born in a farmer and have been a farmer for generations, so when I was a child, my concept of soldiers was very vague."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Until the last time His Majesty sent me to supervise the transportation of food and grass to the northwest, the shock I still remembered fresh in the battlefield."
When Xu Jingzong and the others heard this, they immediately sneered, and this kid was about to brag about himself again.
When it comes to marching and fighting, Han Yi can only talk about this one.
But Han Yi is not such a cliché person. After all, he is very young and not as old as he likes to recall. He said: "Especially the battle of Yingsuochuan commanded by Lu Guogong, which left a very profound impact on me."
Cheng Yaojin's expression changed slightly as he heard that this battle was also his last glory. After this battle, he was caught in a series of scandals.
"But it is not victory, not passion, not strategy, but tragic!"
Han Yi's eyebrows were filled with sadness and said, "Ten thousand Tang soldiers died in this battle. Their blood gathered into a river, dyeing the earth bright red. Their corpses were entangled with the enemy's corpses, and they piled up like mountains. Then, at the moment before, they were still living people. Those scenes really made people cry."
After this sentence, the entire playground was so silent that even the sound of the breeze was particularly harsh.
The nine hundred students were also moved by it, because many of them were from military families and many elders died in battle. Although they could not understand that feeling, they could feel that tragic feeling.
From this we can see that as long as Han Yi is willing to open his mouth, there are really few people who can avoid being fooled.
"Do they deserve to die? Is this just a deal with the court for rewards?"
Han Yi suddenly raised his voice and said, "Of course not. I dare say that no one wants to go to the battlefield to sacrifice his life and shed his blood. They all want to farm at home like you and me. In this hot summer, they accompany their parents, their wives and children to enjoy the cool air and count the stars in the sky. However, they finally lay in Yingshuochuan. They are not fighting for themselves, they are not fighting for fame and fortune, they are fighting for this country, and fighting for the people of this country. It is their lives and blood that have brought us a stable life. Whether they are alive or dead, they are the heroes of my Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that there are no doubt."
He did not mention the emperor here, but Li Zhi didn't care at all, because this was not a good thing. If he died for the emperor, then from another perspective, it was not that my death was all your emperor. Without your emperor, I would not have died in battle. If he died for the country, it sounded supreme glorious. Moreover, the people of the country and the country, including themselves, were fighting for themselves, and no one would feel any dissatisfaction.
"Well said!"
Cheng Yaojin was so excited that he stood up while slapped his thighs.
Yang Sine and other military generals also looked awe-in.
The expressions of the students changed, so heavy, and their faces gradually became like that square, with clear water horns without any slickness.
"What kind of spirit is this?"
Han Yi asked and answered: "This is a spirit of dedication and the most basic quality that every soldier should possess, because war is the master of life, and everyone's life is priceless, and no matter how precious gold, silver and jewelry are, they cannot be exchanged for it. What drives soldiers to rush towards the enemy is this spirit of dedication, a spirit of carrying the country and the people on their shoulders.
If people who go to the battlefield only for fame and fortune, once a war starts, ninety-nine percent of these people are deserters, because they don’t have the country and the people, but only themselves, how can they be willing to do anything? But then again, selfishness is the nature of human beings. You are not wrong with being selfish, but you are selfish and you go to join the army, that is your wrong thing. Because your every move may affect the entire situation of the war and bring immeasurable harm to the country and the people."
Yang Sine and others nodded frequently when they heard this. This kid was always able to achieve the ultimate skill.
Han Yi joined the Communist Party to supervise the transportation of food once, but he has not been in the army for a few days. He does the job of civil officials. He really understands soldiers, but of course he doesn't understand it very much, but Han Yi can always talk about some superficial things to people's hearts.
Suddenly, Han Yi took a deep breath and said, "This is actually the main reason why I refused to participate in the Tang Military Academy at the time. Because the trainees of the Tang Military Academy are not ordinary people, but soldiers, and soldiers who take on the important task of defending the country. Any mistakes will cause unpredictable losses. The burden is really not ordinary heavy, so I am very scared.
However, I was still standing here in the end. There are many reasons, so I won’t go into details. But since I am standing here, I have to be responsible for Your Majesty, the country, and the people. You come here to study in the hope of becoming a soldier in the future. Then on the first day of enrollment, I hope you can answer me, are you willing to dedicate your life to the people of this country and this country?"
"willing!"
Nine hundred students shouted in unison.
The emperor sat in front, and this question was so easy to answer.
"What did you say?" Han Yi asked in a slight voice.
"We do!"
The students shouted hysterically.
Deaf ears!
Li Zhi frowned secretly. This kid is really cunning!
A glimmer flashed in Han Yi's eyes and said with a smile: "Although it's easy to yell in his mouth, it's really hard to do it. However, at this initial moment, I would like to believe that this is what you said in your heart. But if you want to be a real soldier, it is still impossible to be a real soldier with this passion alone. Soldiers pay attention to rigor and meticulousness, and they must reflect every detail. As a soldier, you must know how to restrain yourself and abandon your selfish thoughts. The duty of a soldier is to fight, so all living habits are formed for war, and all the knowledge you have learned here is also for war. Then, if you are not conducive to war, you should give up, such as your hair bun."
Hair bun?
Almost everyone is stunned. The topic is really leaping and it is incomprehensible. What does war have to do with hair?
But then Han Yi put forward a shocking argument and said: "I hope every student from the Tang Military Academy will cut his hair short."
"What?"
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu suddenly stood up.
All the students under the steps were stunned.
In this ancient era, the bun not only represented beauty, but also represented the tradition of the Han people and represented filial piety. The body, hair and skin cannot be subtracted by parents at will.
"This - this is simply ridiculous, how can this work."
Before the students could speak, Xu Jingzong jumped out first and roared with his neck. The Han people mocked the barbarians and often talked about things with their hair buns. Those who don’t comb their hair buns are barbaric. You should go to the hair buns. Isn’t this destroying the Great Wall by yourself?
Han Yi responded: "How can't you do it? War won't give you time to tie your hair. Hair buns are not conducive to war. Since they are not conducive to war, you should give up."
Lu Chengqing was also extremely dissatisfied: "I have lived for decades and have never heard of a bun that can affect victory or defeat."
Han Yi said: "I thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there must be many ministers who told King Wuling of Zhao that after living for decades, I have never heard of a piece of clothing that can affect victory or defeat."
Lu Chengqing was stunned.
Han Yi said: "There are too many wars in history, and victory or defeat is only a tiny slightest detail. Sometimes a trivial detail may directly affect the result. Soldiers are born for war, and the duty of soldiers is to fight. If that is the case, why should we keep factors that are not conducive to war, even if it is just a bun?"
Li Yifu said righteously: "But the body, hair and skin are received by his parents, how can he easily cut it off? This is an unfilial act."
Han Yi sneered: "Li Zhongshu said, hair and skin are indeed my parents, so why does the court still ask the people to fight? Didn't Li Zhongshu know that this war will kill people? Is every soldier fighting for the country an unfilial person?"
"You - you are making a point."
"How come this is a slander, why do I have to slander? Whether they cut their hair or not? For me personally, what does it matter? It's just that the Tang Military Academy is a training soldier. Your Majesty handed me this important task, and I will definitely do my best to make every detail perfect. Since there is no time to undress the hair on the battlefield, the Military Academy will not leave time to undress the hair on the students, so it must be cut."
Xu Jingzong couldn't say that Han Yi could only shout at Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, you must stop him. If you really want him to do this, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Li Zhi frowned and clenched his fists, but he still didn't make a sound in the end.
Han Yi turned around and said to the shocked student: "There are two reasons why I asked you to cut your hair. The first one is that the battlefield does not have time to tie your hair. Since there is no such time, there should not be this time. I don't want one day to rush towards the enemy with disheveled hair, just because your hair covers your eyes.
But this is just the second and most important reason. I hope to treat your hair as the most solemn oath you have made to Your Majesty, the country, and the people. My body, hair and skin are accepted by my parents. Of course, I know that this is very important to every child. It is precisely because this bun is very important to everyone that I let you do this. I cannot teach you how to give your life, so you can only use hair instead. This ceremony represents loyalty and dedication."
Qin Qiao suddenly said, "I wonder if Mr. Han is not a soldier who does not cut his hair has the spirit of dedication you said."
"Of course not!"
Han Yi immediately said: "This is just the admission ceremony of our Tang Military Academy. Because it is really uneasy to train a soldier for the country, and it is even breathless. The Tang Military Academy can only treat you harshly. It would rather fire you at the academy than send an unqualified academy to the army. Of course, I would not force you to cut your hair, but if you don't even want to give a slight hair to the country's soldiers, life is even more important, so those who don't want to cut can leave. In addition, this is also the reason why I invite your parents to come, because I know that this matter must be approved by my parents."
