As she spoke, one sentence at a time, those with shallow eyes began to silently wipe away tears.
Of course, those who were not selected cried the most.
Aren't the people who were chosen excited?
They were naturally excited; it was as if they had been suddenly hit by a huge windfall, causing their brains to freeze and their reactions to become somewhat sluggish.
My face was blank, with only a buzzing in my head, as if hundreds of flies were buzzing around my ears.
They were gradually awakened by the soft sobs around them, and only when they saw the tears streaming down the faces of some people around them did they feel a sense of reality.
Tears that had been welling up in their eyes flowed silently down their cheeks. Let alone all of them, just doing one of the things mentioned above would be enough for them to die for!
Looking down at the myriad forms of life below, Yue Fuguang continued, "I know what you are thinking, but just remember what I say today, and then see how you act in the future."
Whether what was said is true or not, everyone present can judge for themselves.
As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the platform, seemingly getting closer to the crowd below. She said, "Finally, I would like to make one more promise to you all."
Those who sacrifice their lives for the country will be reported to the court by this official, and a monument will be erected in their honor. The names of the heroes on the monument will be remembered even after thousands of years.
Your names will be known to posterity, and your deeds will live on forever!
Your names will be known to posterity, and your achievements will live on forever!
As soon as Yue Fuguang finished speaking, an even greater commotion erupted after a few seconds of silence, in a way that was even more intense than before.
For some, silent tears and soft sobs were replaced by loud wailing.
Another group of people simply patted each other's shoulders mechanically, one patting the other's shoulder and the other punching the other.
They staggered backward, seemingly mistaking the other side for an enemy.
Some even contemplated dying right then and there, their comrades' expressions seeming to say, "Brothers, see you at the monument!"
Yue Fuguang was fairly satisfied with their final performance, which showed that the ideological education and education on their sense of honor had been quite effective.
Otherwise, her last sentence wouldn't have been able to stir up these people's emotions.
Throughout history, how many people have left their mark on history?
Being able to be inscribed on the monument of heroes is the closest ordinary people get to being remembered by posterity. After people have enough to eat, and then read some books and learn some characters, their need for personal achievement naturally rises infinitely.
Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even high-ranking officials like Wei Ping, Cai Xian, and Huo Ying were filled with excitement as they listened.
The prospect of being honored after death, and receiving veneration from posterity, was especially alluring to the ancients who treated the dead as if they were still alive.
The allure of having a separate page in a modern family tree is probably similar to that of a modern person's family tree!
The scene truly erupted when the ten thousand soldiers watched as Yue Fuguang, surrounded by his lords, completely disappeared from the training ground.
The emotions that had been suppressed just now finally erupted.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their fists were clenched, and they silently and tacitly split into two large groups.
At this point, they were brothers born of the same mother, one in the south and the other in the north, clearly separated.
Those on the same side, some of whom were not usually on good terms, just glanced at each other silently, thinking to themselves that these were the comrades who would be climbing the monument to heroes with them in the future.
They each gave the other a stiff, awkward, ugly smile.
Wei Shouyi turned around and glanced at the soldiers on the training ground one last time. If it were any other time, he would really be afraid that the camp would be in chaos.
However, with the Junior Tutor's offer already in the works, he had told everyone beforehand that if they weren't selected this time, there would be another chance in the second half of the year.
Therefore, even if those who were not selected were envious and jealous, they dared not do anything about it.
Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, not only will they be court-martialed, but they will also lose their eligibility to be considered for the second half of the year.
Therefore, Wei Shouyi was certain that none of these people dared to gamble; they would be killed instantly if they were attacked!
As he expected, the two sides gathered in groups, each led by the first and second place winners of the competition. At most, they engaged in verbal sparring and exchanged harsh words.
As for taking action, I wouldn't dare do it in the slightest!
After everyone had walked quite a distance, Wei Shouyi approached Yue Fuguang and whispered, "Young Master, there are some problems with some of the five thousand soldiers you selected today."
Yue Fuguang turned her head in confusion and asked, "General Wei, what kind of problem are you referring to? And who are those people involved?"
Wei Shouyi cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Junior Master, there is a problem with what I said. I suspect that these people are spies planted by other forces."
You may not know this, but ever since that assassination attempt, we have been uneasy.
With the selection of junior military officers approaching, we were afraid of making mistakes, so we conducted a screening of all the soldiers in the army.
Eight officers and soldiers were identified as spies, but there were still five suspects without any concrete evidence.
Therefore, no action has been taken against them so far. These five people are Hu Wei, Tang Xiaoshan, Lin Daqing, Guan Tang, and Li Pi.
"I see!" Yue Fuguang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Since you have some doubts, I'll leave them here, and you can continue to investigate the clues."
She suddenly said with a serious expression, "General Wei, you are well aware of the importance of the new army. So even if you can't find anything wrong with the last five people..."
As long as suspicion remains, they should be transferred away as soon as possible for safety reasons.
Wei Shouyi bowed and said, "As per the order of the Junior Tutor, this subordinate will handle it as soon as possible!"
With that, Wei Shouyi led everyone toward the dining hall.
Moonbeam asked the system, "Little Bead, do you know anything about those five people? Who sent them?"
[Master, these five people belong to three different factions.]
"Three factions? This new military camp is a real piece of meat in the eyes of some!" Everyone wants to get involved!
Because the new military camp is related to its owner, it will naturally attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Of these five people, Hu Wei, Lin Daqing, Guan Tang, and one of the eight people captured by Wei Shouyi were all informants for those powerful families.
Tang Xiaoshan comes from the Tang family of Jiangnan. The master should be able to guess whose people he works for, right?
"Sima Jing's man? If the emperor knew that Tang Xiaoshan was a spy planted by his good cousin, what do you think his expression would be?"
[I might cry!]
Emperor Mingxi: My tears will not be shed for a wolf in sheep's clothing!
She silently turned away and wiped the drool from the corner of her eye; crying was out of the question!
The people behind him forced back their upturned smiles. They didn't know if His Majesty would cry when they returned to report on the matter, but he would definitely be furious!
As for the last person, Li Pi's parents were originally from Beili. They came to Dayan because they were affected by the power struggle twenty years ago.
This time, Bei Ye came to Dayan to contact the Bei Li people who had fled there and reinstated the Li family. Hearing that Li Pi had joined the new recruits was an unexpected and delightful surprise for them.
"I thought that after Bei Ye's scandal with Wei Qingyi, things would calm down, but I didn't expect him to be so busy."
They're not staying home as the outside world thinks!
