Chapter 990 II
(Yesterday, the lightning was lightning and thunder. I always felt that someone was experiencing a disaster nearby and didn’t dare to turn on the computer. I was afraid that if I accidentally traveled through time, I would not be able to update it for everyone! Fortunately, everyone, I won’t say much, if you have votes, vote for you!)
In just one week after the Spartan training camp was opened, more than a thousand people had been withdrawn. Seventy percent were fired and eliminated by the training camp, while a small part could not tolerate the rigorous training in the training camp and voluntarily gave up. In just one week, there was a withdrawal rate of up to 30%. However, even if the camp was withdrawn, it was not easy. Whether it was eliminated by the training camp or voluntarily gave up, they were whipped hard before leaving, leaving a deep and unforgettable memory.
When thousands of boys returned from various camps, the harsh training camp caused a stir. Although Li Jing had already said it very clearly before attracting students, the people who sent the children did not expect that this training camp would be a devil training camp. Looking at the children who came out of the training camp, covered in scars and almost dying, these people were really shocked.
Among the more than a thousand students who were eliminated together, three of them had special identities.
Although these three people are only eight years old, two are princes, one is county duke. Moreover, they are both children of the Li family, Li Yuanjie, Prince Xuancheng, Li Yuanyan, and Li Deyi, Prince Yongjia. At the age of eight, they can be named king and duke, and their surname is Li, just because they are both children of the Li family of the Qin King. Li Yuanjie and Li Yuanyan are not Li Jing's sons. They are Li Jing's nephews, but they were adopted to Li Jing's two brothers who died early and had no descendants, inherited their titles and became princes. Li Deyi is Li Jing's son, and his mother, Princess Bohai, Dayuehou, although she is not a county duke, she is also a high position in the county duke.
During this training camp, Li Jing's eighteen sons entered the camp, and more than 100 Li's children joined the camp to participate in the training camp. Li Yuanjie, Li Yuanyan and Li Deyi were all eight years old, and they were not too young among the children. However, compared to Li Dezhao, they were far inferior to Li Dezhao. On the first day of the training camp, they violated the order, but when they were punished, they directly moved out of their identity and refused to accept the punishment. As a result, the devil instructor naturally ignored their identity and directly imposed a ten-whip punishment plus the punishment of expelling them from the camp.
The three little guys not only disregarded this punishment, but were very happy. Although they were whipped ten times when they left, they cried and laughed while thinking about leaving this ghost place. But what they didn't expect was that when they returned to Yanjing, Li Jing's careful care was no longer waiting for them, but a strict order.
On the day when more than a thousand teenagers returned to Beijing, Li Jing publicly ordered the deprivation of the titles of Li Yuanjie, Li Yuanyan and Li Deyi, and all demoted to common people. At the same time, he specially announced that Li Deyi would be deprived of the qualification of heirs. This order was like a thunder, shocking the entire Yanjing.
No one expected that the King of Qin would deal with it so severely. He was just a few eight-year-old children, but because of this hunting, he would bear the bitter fruits he would suffer in his life.
Li Jing did what he said, and on the same day he sent his three children out of Yanjing and to the most remote Vladivostok, each giving them a farm, plus a dozen slaves, and the rest had nothing left. On the same day, Li Jing selected two more from his many sons, allowing them to adopt them to the names of two brothers, and allowed them to inherit the titles of Prince Xuancheng and Prince Xin'an. At this moment, everyone understood that the punishment of King Qin was serious, and the future of the two royal family members, Li Yuanjie and Li Yuanyan, had been completely complete.
After dealing with these three Li's children, Li Jing issued a training camp recruitment order again, replenishing more than a thousand places, which was still the principle of voluntary registration. Li Jing selected twelve children from his son and Li's children to join the camp. After seeing Li Jing sending twelve children into the camp, although many families were frightened by the teenagers who had returned earlier, many families finally sent their children to register. Many families who had followed Li Jing for many years
People are very smart, and it is always right to follow Li Jing, especially some families of the third-rate Tang Dynasty, but after following Li Jing over the years, they have now proudly squeezed into the first-rate families of the Tang Dynasty with the strength of Qin Fan. Seeing that Qin Fan is getting stronger and stronger, no matter what, it is always right to follow the steps of the King of Qin. No matter how hard, tiring, or cruel the training camp is, since even the King of Qin has sent his children into the camp, how could it be wrong to send their children?
What's more, they also knew that the quota for this training camp was limited. There were only 3,600 places in the first phase, which seemed to be quite large, but for the Qin Fan, which had a population of tens of millions, this quota was too small. The quota for each family was limited, but there were many children. If these big families hesitated, some of the emerging middle classes such as maritime merchants, workshops, landlords, mine owners, and officers hoped to get such an opportunity.
More than 1,000 new places were quickly registered for tens of thousands. After registration, the Yanjing headquarters of the Spartan Training Camp quickly submitted the list to Li Jing. The final list must be approved by Li Jing, and the training camp is not so easy to enter.
The Forbidden City, in the Hall of Divine Affairs.
Li Jing carefully reviewed the training camp supplement list and kept deleting it on the list.
The quota for this training camp is indeed precious. Basically, the Qin Fan, regardless of officials or family, wanted to let the family's children squeeze in. Even if the camp had an elimination rate of 30%, they still believed that they would never have the idea of following the King of Qin. For Li Jing, this training camp was not just a training camp.
"Sanlang, you can't just open the Internet. Look, the children are still young, and they will inevitably make mistakes. Can't they give them a second chance?" Li Huier, the eldest princess of Donghai, sat aside and persuaded, "Sister Yue'er cried for a few days and couldn't even get out of bed, and she lost weight. Even if Deyi was disobedient, you should punish him, but can you be a little lighter? Even if you temporarily take away his title, at least let him stay in Yanjing. He is only eight years old and sent to a far north like Vladivostok, so how can he eat?"
"Hui'er, what do you think I'm sending the children to the training camp for?" Li Jing stopped writing and raised his head to ask.
Although Li Huier has no status, she has the identity of the eldest princess. In addition, her father, King Zhao, is now Pingzhang, one of the three auxiliary governments in the Yanjing State Administration, and she is the largest shareholder of a large textile group integrating textile, dyeing, garment processing and sales in the entire Qinfanzhang area. Her identity is still very noble. She usually has a good relationship with Da Yueer, so she came to help this time.
Li Jing did not wait for Li Huier to answer, but continued to speak.
"Send the children to the training camp, and the training camp is so harsh, I don't want to train them into special forces, nor do I want my sons to become generals. Conquer the world immediately, but it is impossible to rule the world immediately. The various trainings in the training camp are actually not the purpose, but the means."
"Purpose?Method?"
"That's right. Now the world is not peaceful, and the world's vassal states are separatist and the battles are endless. We have a deep understanding, but for the next generation of the Qin vassal, especially for us, especially the civil and military officials and the children of various major families, for them, from birth to now, they have not seen what war is, nor do they know the cruelty of war. What they see is the stability and prosperity of the Qin vassal, food and clothing, and wealth. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and will die if you forget to fight. Especially for our children, in a sentence that Cao Cao once said, they were born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. These children don't even know what the world outside the Forbidden City is, let alone the situation of the Qin vassal and the world. Think about it, how will these children who grew up in a greenhouse bear heavier responsibilities in the future and how can they face the storm?"
"I set up this training camp not to train special forces, nor to train generals. It's just a camp that beats and sharpens the children's character and makes them strong, tough and unyielding. Once the training camp is opened, it's really too strict. But you have to know what children are of children of their identities, their fathers and families, which one is simple. Everyone is pampered at home. If they are not strict at the beginning, how can they cure these children?"
"In the past, when prisoners were imprisoned, they had to beat a killing stick first, and the purpose was naturally to deter. The first year of the training camp would be the most severe year, and the purpose was to completely remove the bad habits of these students and spoiled. After the training of Dengzhou Camp for a year, although the training will be very strict in the future, it will not be like this. I said that training is just a means, not a purpose. My real purpose is to cultivate the tough and resolute character of the next generation of Qin Fan and create a next generation of elites."
This is also the reason why Li Jing's training camp students are all from various major families. The goal of this training camp is to build the second generation of Qin vassal elites, in order to prevent the Qin vassal from dying. Li Jing's generation is strong, which does not mean that the next generation will be strong. Even a great empire like Qin and Sui died in the second generation, let alone a Qin vassal. Education must start from the baby, and now we will start to polish these second generations of officials in order not to degenerate them. After all, in this era, no matter how Li Jing reforms, the power of the aristocratic nobles will not disappear so quickly. Even if there is an imperial examination, the aristocratic families are still the controllers of power. The power of the aristocratic families is inherited from generation to generation. Sooner or later, the Qin vassals will be inherited by these second generations of officials today.
