Chapter 243 Military Soul Song
"Master Xiao Fang," Qin Mo said sternly, "I respect you as the reincarnation of the Immortal Poet and have always treated you with great respect. I never thought you would humiliate us, the Imperial Guards, in this way. This is intolerable!"
With a clang, Qin Mo drew the sword from his waist. The icy cold light frightened everyone present, "Master Xiao Fang, draw your sword!"
Fang Ping was startled and immediately took two steps back, waving his hands repeatedly. "Commander Qin, you misunderstood. I am following His Majesty's orders to compose some morale-boosting military songs for the troops."
"Your Majesty will host a small palace banquet in three days to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. Many important officials will be present. Your Majesty hopes to use this opportunity to review the effectiveness of the military song."
"Originally, I should have been the lead singer and performer in this matter, but I am ultimately a scholar, and I lack the military spirit. Therefore, I have requested permission to seek the help of the Imperial Guards."
After hearing this, Qin Mo put away his sword.
Deputy Commander Zhang He immediately stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over, saying, "So that's how it is! We almost had a misunderstanding. I've heard that Master Xiao Fang is the reincarnation of an immortal poet, but I never thought he was even proficient in music..."
"That's right. If Lord Xiao Fang hadn't explained, I would have thought he was here to cause trouble..." Du Yu Hou Cen Jing also said with a smile.
After being teased by everyone, Qin Mo also walked down the stairs and bowed to Fang Ping, saying, "I apologize for offending you just now. I hope Master Fang will not blame me!"
After that, he turned to one of his young officers and said, "According to Lord Xiao Fang's wishes, select thirty-six soldiers to line up!"
"Yes, my subordinates take orders!"
After Qin Mo made all the arrangements, he invited Fang Ping to a seat and offered him some tea. Remembering what he had just said about the military song, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of composing a military song for us?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard from Your Majesty that Princess Zhaohua once said that the soldiers are training so hard that they have no time for entertainment. If this continues, there may be trouble."
"So I suggested that I compose some military songs and music, which would not only help the soldiers relax but also boost their morale," Fang Ping explained.
As he spoke, he took out two or three sheets of lyrics that he had prepared in advance and showed them to the few people.
Qin Mo, the deputy commander, and Du Yuhou each held a copy. When they opened it, they saw a poem written in vernacular Chinese, with the title of the song at the top, which was called "Military Soul Song".
A few people looked around and saw that there were not many words in the whole article, but it gave people an inexplicable power.
Especially the first few sentences, just reading them makes my blood boil.
Qin Mo was a little curious and wondered what this song would sound like when sung.
"Master Xiao Fang..." Qin Mo hesitated to speak!
Fang Ping directly handed over the remaining lyrics. "Commander Qin, please select the number of people and let them familiarize themselves with these lyrics first."
Qin Mo:.......
Well, he'll be able to hear it soon anyway!
In the center of the Imperial Guards training ground, thirty-six tall and straight Imperial Guards stood in a small square, waiting for instructions.
Then the Central Guard came over with a stack of papers, and handed out six papers to each column according to the number of columns, passing them down one by one.
Everyone looked at the papers in their hands in confusion. Then, the Central Guard General also held up a piece of paper and said loudly, "Now, everyone, open the papers in your hands. This is a song that Lord Xiao Fang wrote specially for us soldiers."
"Whether you know how to read or not, please recite with me now to familiarize yourself with the content. Master Xiao Fang will come and teach you in person later!"
"Everyone, once you learn this song, you will have the honor of serving as the vanguard, performing for His Majesty and showcasing the splendor of our Imperial Guards!"
Everyone present:........
I can understand every word that the Central Guard General said, but why can't I understand anything when they are put together?
Forget it, I'll just follow them first and see what they are going to do later.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone's blood was boiling with passion, and it seemed as if a fire was gushing out of their chests. When Fang Ping came in front of them, he was greeted by their wolf-like and tiger-like murderous eyes that seemed ready to attack.
Fang Ping nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted. With a slight wave of his hand, he ordered the military band he had specially selected in the palace to come over and stand on both sides, ready to teach.
He himself held a tin loudspeaker and shouted directly to the crowd:
"Hello everyone, first let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Ping. You may have heard of my name, or you may not. But it doesn't matter. From the moment I stepped into the military camp, I have been one of you!"
The sound was transmitted to all parts of the training ground through the loudspeaker.
All the teams that were in training gathered around involuntarily, wanting to see what Lord Xiao Fang was going to do here.
"You might be curious, what am I, a scholar, doing in a military camp? Now, please pick up the lyrics in your hands, and let me introduce them. This is the military song I composed for the soldiers. I'm here today to teach you how to sing it."
"In three days, we will be performing music for His Majesty at the palace banquet, so we only have three days to practice. Time is very tight, so I won't waste any more time."
"I'll sing it for everyone first. Everyone, please read the lyrics and see how much you can remember..."
Everyone present:......
Regardless of the stunned and shocked looks on everyone's faces, Fang Ping simply waved his hand, and the military band behind him began to play the prelude. Fang Ping, with a calm expression, took the tin trumpet and began to sing.
The voice is rich and powerful, but it is a bit thin to sing alone. Fortunately, there are not many lyrics and it only needs to be sung twice.
So when Fang Ping sang the second time, some people present were already humming along with the lyrics, especially Qin Mo who sang the most enthusiastically.
He had been a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw Fang Ping standing there facing everyone with such confidence and singing with such vigor and power, he couldn't help himself.
So, before the formal teaching even started, it had already turned into a chorus.
After the end, Fang Ping began to teach one sentence at a time, explaining how to transition between sentences and how to change the melody. When the low notes were deep and powerful, when the high notes were high, they were like swords soaring into the sky.
Everyone was immersed in the grand intention of facing the enemy and defending the country. What lay before them was not the usual training ground, but a battlefield of conquest and killing.
Qin Mo and the others were immersed in such emotions, tears welling up in their eyes. They never knew that music had such charm.
After all, in their original impression, music has always been something that is only used for pleasure.
But now they know that good music can inspire people and boost morale.
After the song ended, Qin Mo snatched the iron trumpet from Fang Ping's hand and shouted, "Soldiers, if an enemy invades our country and kills our people, what should we do?"
The soldiers below were already singing with excitement. When they heard the general's question, they immediately raised their right arms and replied in unison: "Kill... Kill... Kill..."
The army is as powerful as a tiger and as imposing as a giant.
This is the military spirit!
