Chapter 339: Love and hate.
Chapter 339: Love and hate.
Ever since he took control of Yizhou, Ye Kun has been fighting openly and secretly with Xie Tong.
He also married Xie Baochan and became Xie Tong's son-in-law.
In the past few years, Xie Tong has given Ye Kun a lot of help, but has also brought Ye Kun many obstacles.
It's a love-hate relationship.
Fortunately, God is impartial and everyone will grow old.
Ye Kun was young, and he almost outlasted Xie Tong.
The next morning, Ye Kun took the civil and military officials and Xie Baochan to see Xie Tong.
Xie Tong was lying on the hospital bed, dying, struggling to salute Ye Kun.
Ye Kun hurriedly held down Xie Tong, bent down and said:
"Thank you, old Taiyue, please don't be so polite. It's my fault that I came back late. I didn't expect that you would be so seriously ill. But don't worry, I will urge the doctor to cure your illness."
"No, Master Ye..."
Xie Tong sighed and smiled, "My destiny has come to an end. I can no longer serve Master Ye. After I die, I wish Master Xie... No, the King of Hanzhong, to work hard to govern the country, unify the country, and achieve eternal hegemony."
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
Xie Tong knew that he was going to die, so he gave up the desire to fight.
Of course, this is also to leave a way out for our children.
Because Xie Tong has three legitimate sons, all of whom have already entered officialdom and are making a living under Ye Kun.
And Xie Baochan is in the palace and is also being taken care of by Ye Kun.
Ye Kun held Xie Tong's hand and said to Zhuge Feng beside him:
"Master Xie is old and needs to rest. Pass on my order. Xie Zhijiang, the eldest son of the Xie family, will take over his father's position as the governor of Yizhou and take charge of Yizhou's political affairs."
Xie Zhijiang is about thirty years old, more kind-hearted than his father and easier to control.
Besides, the governor of Yizhou is only in charge of government affairs, not military affairs.
The power of internal security and defense of Chengdu City lies in the hands of Jiang Youbao, so Ye Kun feels relieved.
Xie Tong was so grateful that tears streamed down her face. "The King of Hanzhong has shown great love for me. I will serve him till my death. I am afraid that my son is too young to shoulder such a heavy responsibility and will fail the King's expectations..."
Ye Kun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhijiang is solid and capable, and the voice of a young phoenix is clearer than that of an old phoenix. He will definitely be able to do the job."
After a few more words of comfort, Ye Kun returned home.
Xie Baochan stayed at her mother's home to take care of her father.
A few days later, Xie Tong died of old age.
Ye Kun gave all the sons of the Xie family a holiday to let them deal with the funeral. He also took Jiang Yourong, Liu Yuejuan and others, as well as civil and military officials, to pay their respects in person.
After returning from the worship, Qin Erwu broke into the palace, shouting that he was looking for Ye Kun.
Ye Kun also knew what this guy was doing, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Erwu, have you had enough wine during this period? If you don't have enough wine, I'll send you a few more cars."
"Don't mention it, big brother. Drinking every day is boring. I want to go out and lead the troops."
"Your elder brother Qin Chou is worried about you leading the troops, and your wife Ji Qinnu is reluctant to let you go." Ye Kun laughed and said, "If you are bored, I will find you a job in Chengdu."
There is no war now, and Ye Kun does not plan to let Qin Erwu go out to lead the troops.
If you want to lead troops, you can also go to the Longquanshan Camp in Chengdu.
That is Chengdu’s defensive force, the Dinghai Shenzhen, with 10,000 elite soldiers and logistical support troops.
Qin Erwu scratched his head and asked, "But what can I do in Chengdu?"
"I plan to build a university in Chengdu." Ye Kun laughed:
"I want to gather all the outstanding figures from various schools of thought and open a school in Chengdu to give lectures. At the same time, I will select outstanding young people from all over the country to study in the university and cultivate talents for the country. I think you are well-educated and talented, so you are just right to be the first principal!"
"Ah, I am well-read? I can't even recognize a bunch of big characters." Qin Erwu smiled bitterly: "Brother, stop making trouble, let me lead the troops."
"You know you don't know many words, so why don't you study during this time?"
Ye Kun glared: "Go back to school, wait until you know 2,000 words, then come talk to me about leading troops."
Qin Erwu complained bitterly, but still nodded and went.
Ye Kun also called Zhuge Feng, Guan Yafu and others to discuss the construction of a university in Chengdu. In addition, there was also a naval academy that was planned to be built outside the city, near the mountains and the water.
In the past two years, Tanbingtang has been recruiting students for training, two sessions each year.
Some outstanding grassroots officers were also trained, but the time was too short and it was difficult to produce generals.
Ye Kun wanted to establish regular universities and regular military academies to cultivate civil and military talents.
Guan Yafu was originally the chief priest of Dongba County. He attached great importance to education and naturally agreed with Ye Kun's proposal.
The next morning, Ye Kun officially announced the matter and led relevant personnel to select a site for building the school.
The city of Chengdu is now more prosperous than before, there is no place left.
Ye Kun ordered to select a site next to Shaocheng, demolish a section of the city wall, extend it outward, and build a university town.
The school has a graduate school with 500 people and a college with 3,000 people.
In addition, there are canteens, dormitories, playgrounds, laboratories, astronomy rooms, practice center workshops and small factories.
In terms of disciplines, there are medicine, agriculture, astronomy, architecture, geography and logistics, mathematics, literature, music, calligraphy and painting, etc.
In the research institute, they set up small private schools of various schools of thought, and brought in those so-called great scholars who were weird and sour, and fed them with money, so that they could bicker and talk nonsense whenever they wanted!
Zhuge Feng found time to ask, "The King of Hanzhong is fully committed to running schools. Isn't he preparing for war recently?"
Ye Kun sighed:
"At present, Xiahou Chang and Xiao Dequan dare not attack us. I took the initiative to attack and let the people suffer from war and disasters, which seems unkind and unjust. Moreover, since I took control of Yizhou, in just two or three years, I attacked Hanzhong, Xiahou Chang, the Xiongnu Xiaoxian King and Maoquan Chanyu. Although I won all the victories and the casualties were not large, it was a waste of financial resources after all, and there are some complaints in Shu.
So I plan to wait and see how the situation develops."
Zhuge Feng nodded: "King of Hanzhong is right. If we slow down a bit, the people of Yizhou will become more united."
Ye Kun ordered to speed up the construction of the university while recruiting and selecting talents to prepare for the opening of classes.
To the east of Longquan Mountain, there is a large lake.
Ye Kun selected a site here and formally established the Naval and Military Academy, expanding the enrollment scale and extending the study period to one year.
All members of the military academy are selected from young soldiers in the army. They are required to be educated and have participated in combat.
The military academy was intended to accommodate only 300 people, so the construction was quick. The classrooms were completed in ten days and classes officially began.
Ye Kun was still the principal. On the first day of school, he gave a speech to everyone, did some propaganda, encouraged everyone, and emphasized discipline.
"Brothers, today is the first day of the establishment of our Chengdu Military Academy, and you are the first batch of students.
Here today, you are students, but you are also soldiers and warriors.
When you finish your studies and leave here, you will be generals and pillars of our country!"
The new students were very excited and their blood was boiling.
After Ye Kun finished his speech, he met with the students one by one, asking about their family situations and experiences.
One student asked, "King of Hanzhong, do you still remember me?"
