Chapter 407: Martial Arts School
Caesar also went to Mulu City, which surprised Zhang Zong very much, because Caesar had obviously gone to sea before, but then Zhang Zong also realized that the smallpox of Dashi's food was probably related to Caesar. When he appeared in Mulu City, he probably abandoned the boat from Dashi and went ashore, and then arrived at Mulu City by land. After all, he could completely disguise himself as a merchant from Dashi through Dashi.
According to Li Hong's introduction, Caesar has not appeared in Mulu City for a long time, but he quickly established his position in the Persian army. First, it was the absolute trust of the Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni has now become the second person outside the Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni, responsible for the logistics of the army and the management of the city.
Zhang Zong was not surprised that Caesar was able to gain a foothold in Mulu City so quickly. After all, this guy is capable and skilled, and sometimes he even performs better than Ni Nishishi, so it is not surprising that he has his current status.
Zhang Zong was also very worried about the situation on the Ni Niezhai side, so in the next period of time, he also tried his best to inquire about the situation on Mulu City. Wars require money, and many merchants would not miss this opportunity to make money in wars, so the situation on the Ni Niezhai side could occasionally bring back some.
However, Mulu City is still too far from the Tang Dynasty. You should know that it was the Persian border, and the grandfather of Ni Nishima, the last king of Persia, died there. Now Ni Nishima expands outward with its foundation, and it also means that Persia is reborn from the ashes.
By May, the martial arts school finally started recruiting students, half of which were selected from the children of nobles and officials. However, not everyone can enter this selection, but there are certain quotas. Therefore, if you want to enter the martial arts school, you must pass the exam. Although this exam is not as strict as the military, if you cannot pass it, even if you are not satisfied with the quota, you will not let some crooked people come in.
The other half of the students are recruited from the army. These people are all young people selected from the army through military achievements. Most of them are civilians and have not received any good education. Although they perform well on the battlefield, if they do not receive education, they will only become excellent lower-level officers in the future, and it is difficult to have much development.
However, the martial arts school provided them with an opportunity to change their destiny. As long as they were willing to study hard and master more knowledge and theories, they would have a broader future in the future. Therefore, the competition for enrollment quotas in the military is very fierce, which took some time. However, enrollment in the military is started early and the list was set in early April because time was given to let these people rush to Luoyang.
With the determination of the quota, these students also came to Luoyang Martial Arts School to report. By the beginning of June, the Martial Arts School officially opened. Although they had the experience of the medical school last time, this time the Martial Arts School still caused a lot of chaos.
The main reason is that the students in the medical school are either from a medical family or from a good family. They are gentle in character and are easier to educate. Even if there is a conflict, at most they will fight and generally not make too much trouble.
But the martial arts school is different. Whether it is the children of the nobles or the soldiers recruited from the army, these two gangs are not easy to discipline. Most of the children of the nobles are more indulgent and are not afraid of anyone in normal times. All the soldiers recruited from the army have military achievements. In other words, they have all killed people. If these two gangs get together, it would be strange if there is no problem.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Zong first started school, he was in the martial arts school with Pei Xingjian. Sometimes he had to patrol until midnight before going back. When he met students who dared to make trouble, he was severely punished. After all, these two gangs were all bold leaders. If they were not careful, they might demolish the martial arts school.
However, even under such strict management, the martial arts school handled more than a dozen wars and fights less than three days after school started. Zhang Zong was very troubled by this, but Pei Xingjian seemed to have been used to it for a long time. According to him, although private fights are strictly prohibited in the army, it is only prohibited to use weapons. Generally, if there are conflicts, fighting is very common, and sometimes large-scale group fights occur. The scene is simply too spectacular.
Zhang Zong had experienced group fights when he was in school in later generations, but later he built a legal society and rarely saw anyone fighting. Now the martial arts school seems to have allowed him to relive the years.
However, although there are many people fighting, the martial arts school will not do anything that will not blame the masses. In fact, the martial arts school handles fights very harshly. If serious consequences are caused, the students will even be expelled directly. However, even so, the fight will not be prohibited. In the end, a few students will be expelled, which will suppress the trend.
One month after the start of school, the entire martial arts school finally ended the initial chaos and the teaching began to get on track. This made Zhang Zong and Pei Xingjian both breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they follow the current situation, they can summarize their experiences after the first year ends, and they probably won't be so chaotic next year.
However, although the martial arts school progressed very smoothly, Zhang Zong and Pei Xingjian were not relaxed. In fact, it was not only them, but the entire Tang Dynasty was very heavy, because in the past six months, Li Zhi's condition not only did not improve, but became heavier.
Li Zhi's condition affected the entire Tang Dynasty. Even because of his illness, the Tang Dynasty's expansion of the outside world stopped, and the army on the frontier began to focus on defense, and the prefectures in various places also regarded maintaining stability as the top priority. As for the ministers in the court, they were all staring at every move in the palace. Some people even secretly speculated about how long Li Zhi could last?
That afternoon, Zhang Zong rarely went home early, and then accompanied Taiping and Ning'er to have supper. However, because of Li Zhi's illness, Taiping was a little depressed. After dinner, Zhang Zong also took time to chat with her and rested with her in the evening.
But in the middle of the night, Zhang Zong and Taiping were suddenly woken up by Wan'er. Only then did they realize that the palace had just sent people to summon them to the palace immediately, which made Taiping cry because she had guessed something.
Zhang Zong's mood suddenly became very heavy, but he quickly persuaded Taiping and rushed to the palace as fast as possible in the carriage.
