Qingpu Town is located in the eastern suburbs, only a few miles away from Qingyang Fucheng. It is on the road from Qingyang to Bonan and Guide. It is regarded as a transportation hub. This place was not originally prosperous, but after Northwest University and Northwest Military Academy were established here, they immediately brought a lot of business opportunities here. Businessmen flocked here like flies smelling smelly meat. Hotels, restaurants, and various shops immediately increased tenfold, and even some entertainment venues began to flourish here. You know, the students here are all paid government and military officials.
When Wu Feng, Ling Tianfang, and Lu Man arrived at the gate of the majestic Northwest Military Academy, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the teachers of the academy led by Fei Mu, the vice president of the academy, and many students.
Looking at Fei Mu and his entourage who came to welcome him, Wufeng himself felt a little embarrassed. A few years ago, he was still in front of these teachers, and he was deeply afraid of not getting the school's graduation certificate, but time had just passed. After a few years, the situation reversed and they came to welcome their inspections. This kind of contrast makes Wu Feng lament that the world is ever-changing. Yesterday's children may be tomorrow's heroes. Who can predict that students who do not perform well in this school will not become famous heroes when they leave the school? Woolen cloth
Seeing that Wu Feng seemed to be distracted, Ling Tianfang coughed quickly and reminded: "Sir, Principal Fei and the others are here."
Only then did Wu Feng come to his senses, quickly stepped out of the carriage, walked up to him, held Fei Mu's hands affectionately, and respectfully greeted the other teachers with the courtesy of a student.
Seeing the sincere respect on Wu Feng's face, the embarrassment felt by Fei Mu and the other teachers was swept away, replaced by a feeling of immense pride. Originally, they didn't pay much attention to this truant king who went to their original school, but they didn't expect that in just a few years, this little-known guy would rise so high that he became the third military and political envoy in the history of the empire. Xingren Zhilong has become a role model for the younger generation of the empire, which really shocked the teachers in the academy and lamented the unfairness of the world.
Fei Mu is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was originally the deputy teaching director of the Imperial Military Academy. He was also a talent that Wu Feng poached from the Imperial Military Academy through various methods. He was a top student at Imperial College in his early years. After graduation, he stayed at the school to teach for ten years with a high reputation. Later he was transferred to Imperial Military College as deputy dean. Dean Williams nominated him as the dean of college several times and reported to The Military Ministry and the General Administration of Culture, Education and Health were both put aside by the superiors on the grounds that they were of low origin and were unable to take on important positions.
Wu Feng also respected him a lot when he was studying in the college. He was not only knowledgeable and well-managed, but also had a rigorous academic attitude. He won the respect of the students in the college. Although he was not as respected as Dean Williams, he was also one of the most respected people in the college. the backbone of the people. But he was born a commoner, so he was not favored by the empire's upper echelons and was unable to be promoted. When Wu Feng was planning to build the Northwest Military Academy, he applied for support from the Imperial Administration of Culture, Education and Health and the Imperial Military Academy, and they invited him first. Originally, Dean Williams didn't want to let him go, but he thought he couldn't help him go to school again. On the first floor, I had to regretfully agree.
Fei Mu himself was a little hesitant at first. After all, the northwest was far away and the living conditions were far worse than those in the imperial capital. If his whole family had gone to the northwest, he might never have the chance to return to the imperial capital. But even if he wanted to stay in the imperial capital, he would not be able to display his talents. Instead of being depressed all his life, it would be better to go to the northwest to show off his talents. Wu Feng's condition was that he be the deputy dean and let him take charge of the college's regular teaching work, with a monthly salary of one hundred and fifty gold coins, which was more than double his salary at the Imperial Military Academy. Gritting his teeth, he took his wife, two concubines, and several children with his family to the northwest.
Under his example, many teachers from the Imperial Military College, Imperial University and even the Imperial Academy of Arts who were restricted due to family backgrounds followed suit and moved their families westward. Fortunately, Dean Williams promised Wu Feng, and Relevant officials from the Imperial Administration of Culture, Education and Health also benefited from Wu Feng and opened the door to convenience, so the migration of these people was successfully completed.
The gate of the Northwest Military Academy is quite grand and magnificent. The gate can accommodate three large carriages or twenty people walking side by side without being crowded. Two officers in student uniforms wear snow-white gloves, one holding a halberd and the other holding a halberd. Holding the sword and shield in his hand, his eyes looked straight ahead. Under the scorching sun, his military uniform was soaked with sweat but he remained motionless.
When Wu Feng and his party walked past, the two officers did not look sideways. They simply stood at attention and saluted without any other unnecessary movements. Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, grinned silently, and expressed his appreciation. It was indeed not easy to reach such a point in just a few months. From this, he knew that he was not wrong in choosing the person.
When you walk into the door, you will see a huge bronze statue of three people. This is a famous product that Wufeng painstakingly asked Rodin, a sculptor of the imperial generation, to design and make himself - Zong Heng Tian Xia. On the left is an archer warrior with a bent bow and arrow, looking like a rhinoceros looking at the moon and trying to shoot at a wolf. In the middle is a horseback soldier who is reining in his horse and swallowing thousands of miles. Later on the right is a warrior holding a shield and raising a sword. Although the entire sculpture of the leading infantry warrior consists of three figures, it is full of harmony and unity. In particular, the archers' breathless facial expressions when shooting arrows, the cavalry's galloping momentum and unstoppable momentum, and the infantry soldiers' indomitable determination are all fully demonstrated by Rodin's spiritual hands.
The entire sculpture seems to be completely made from nature, without any defects, allowing viewers to be immersed in this unparalleled masterpiece.
The three figures represent the three main components of the army: cavalry, infantry, and auxiliary soldiers.
Due to his age, Luo Dan had already lived in seclusion at his home in Heshuo County and did not care about worldly affairs. However, Wu Feng spoke harshly and sent special personnel three times to plead. In view of Wu Feng's sincerity and Wu Feng's high reputation in the empire, Rodin made an exception and accepted the request. After careful design, he created this unique masterpiece. After completing this work, Rodin officially announced to the outside world that he would retire and rest, and would not create any more works. He also called this work called "Across the World" his pinnacle work, surpassing any of his previous works.
On the base at the lower end of this work, the words "Northwestern Military Academy" are engraved on it. Although these words are like cutting with a knife and an axe, and they can be regarded as extraordinary, compared with the above works, they do not seem to be of the same level, which makes the viewers feel very sorry. What's more, some people who don't know the situation say This is a sign of a dog's tail, which seriously affects the image of the college. It is recommended that these words be eradicated and that Wang Fuzhi or Gu Zhenqing, a leading figure in the calligraphy world, "North King and South Visit", be invited to write. However, after carefully looking at the words below these words After signing the payment, everyone fell silent.
It turns out that the line of small characters below is "Li Wufeng in a certain year and a certain month." It is said that at the inauguration ceremony of the college, the person who made such nonsense and suggested eradicating these words was scolded by Wu Feng until he agreed to invite Wu Feng to Qingyang's best sex venue at the time - the Royal Concubine's Courtyard. After spending three times, Wu Feng finally gave up and promised not to pursue him again for damaging the reputation of his superiors.
However, afterwards, when Hua Yumei, Lu Xianxian and Guan Yingying learned about the incident, they all laughed at Ai Lang for not knowing himself and actually wanting to compete with contemporary calligraphers. Wu Feng disagreed and explained confidently that he had a specialization in the arts and that his specialty was governing the army. It was extremely rare to have such "achievement" in calligraphy. As soon as these words came out, several women laughed so hard that they couldn't restrain themselves. The description of "a dog's tail follows a mink" spread like wildfire, and even decades later, it became one of the jokes in Wu Feng's harem. Wu Feng has always been worried about it. Someone has also paid a heavy price for this for decades. Whenever Wu Feng suffers from this, he will find someone and ask for compensation in order to "soothe the wounded soul" and make someone extremely annoyed. .
However, this move also played an unimaginable role in promoting the popularity of calligraphy in the empire. In the years to come, Wufeng had strict requirements for his children, requiring them to have beautiful calligraphy skills, and equipped their children with special palaces. Calligraphy teacher. Due to the emperor's attention, calligraphy became a common practice throughout the empire, and the development of calligraphy entered a stable golden period. Even someone's descendants bluntly said that their ancestors had made outstanding contributions to the development of calligraphy.
Walking into the campus, you will see a large-scale competition arena covering an area of several hundred acres. From a distance, you can see horse paths, runways, sand pits, open-air wrestling fields, training fields, and competition stages. The scale is no less than that of the Imperial Palace. School of Business. On the right side of the arena are the classrooms and dormitory areas of the college. Red walls, green tiles, and green trees. When Wu Feng first planned to build the college, he proposed to build "four first-class", first-class facilities, first-class teachers, first-class conduct and first-class standards.
The two schools spent a lot of money on this. Even Xiao Tang, who attaches great importance to education, thought it was too advanced and inconsistent with the current reality, and complained a lot. However, Wu Feng insisted on going his own way on this matter and did not accept the different opinions of others. .
The graduation ceremony was held in the small auditorium of the college, and all current students of the college attended the ceremony. The ceremony was not complicated. First, Zhongli Wuji, the dean of the college, presided over the ceremony. Then Fei Mu made a brief speech and announced the outstanding students in the training. Then the guests present issued certificates of honor to the winning students. , and was finally lectured by Wu Feng.
Wu Feng's speech was extremely brief, but quite concise: "Everyone, you are all the elites of our Northwest soldiers. Your purpose of coming to the academy is also very simple, which is to learn how to better attack the enemy and save yourself. What you are learning here Although the time is not long, I hope that everyone will learn not only military knowledge here, but also hone their will and wisdom. It is not difficult to become a soldier, but to become a qualified An officer must have a calm mind, accurate judgment and iron will. Only with the above points can he be a real soldier. I hope that everyone can learn about themselves through this study. A few gains are enough.”
After the ceremony, Wu Feng, Ling Tianfang, Lu Man, Fei Mu and Zhongli Wuji walked along a small lake at the east end of the college. By the way, Wu Feng also wanted to know about the operation of the college. The environment here is quite beautiful. The lake is green and lush, covered with ancient pines. This is one of the reasons why Wu Feng chose the address of the academy here.
