When the freshmen were just about to enter the school, the first batch of graduates were about to leave here. They prepared their respective places in front and then served as military officers. After that, their military career officially began. The future path also depends on themselves and their classmates. As for which step they can go, it depends on their opportunities and personal efforts. This time, they are the last visit to the campus, which is the campus they built personally.

The first batch of students had a very difficult life. Even the school buildings of the Tang Military Academy were built brick by brick. They built several hours of house during the day, and then they had to conduct physical training from noon to afternoon, and to improve the culture. They had to conduct more than 16 hours of training and learning almost a day. Sometimes, Jingwen also gave them some emergency gatherings, which made them very tired. Although they couldn't stand it at the beginning and wanted to leave. But like many veterans, although they often said that they couldn't stand it and wanted to leave, they found that they couldn't bear it when they really left. Moreover, once they left, it might be difficult for them to come back again in their life.

"Do you want to bear it?" Jing Wen asked.

"We built the sacrificial wine here by ourselves, so of course we can't bear to leave. We don't know if we have a chance to come back after we leave this time?" Gao Kan said.

But Jing Wen said: "It's not difficult to come back. But I hope you are upright and come back with honor."

Jing Wen said this a bit in depth, because these military academy students actually only served in the Border Guard Army for three years. After three years, most of them will be able to return to the Central Army for exchanges. So, it is not too difficult to come back after graduation. But it is indeed not easy to come back with honor and return to your alma mater with honor and identity, and then to see your style for the younger generations. As an officer, you must first have military achievements. If you don’t have military achievements, then you can only visit when you come back. It is not a “honor”.

"Okay, since everyone is reluctant to let go, we might as well set up an alumni association for the Tang Military Academy. In the future, our alumni association can often organize activities in various places. Let our graduates of the Tang Military Academy communicate with each other. How do you feel? At that time, we have people from our Tang Military Academy alumni association across the country. We can organize exchanges according to the arrangements and when appropriate. We can exchange experiences in leading troops and experiences on the battlefield. Even if some people are promoted, we can invite nearby alumni gatherings. In this way, we are all from the same school, so of course we have to support and help each other." Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen’s proposal is to imitate the so-called alumni associations in later generations. These are all connections! In later generations, not many schools organized alumni associations, and these are all school graduates and their own personal resources. If these connections can be handled well, it can be said that they have mastered a lot of social resources. This is also very beneficial to the later graduates. Moreover, if the school can produce some famous generals, it will be glorious in the school!

This proposal was unanimous and unified by everyone. Everyone signed up one after another, and the school’s teachers were responsible for recording. Then many teachers also participated in this alumni association and were considered alumni of the school. Everyone immediately discussed how to divide it, and the final discussion was to establish a Tang Military Academy alumni branch in each army based on the current twelve armies of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this was to clearly tell the generals of the court to avoid misunderstandings. Organizing activities must be made public, and even all matters must be made public to avoid the court thinking that there are any bad ideas.

At present, according to the plan, the number of alumni branches in the Western Expedition Army will be the largest in the future, because most of the graduates are sent to the Western Expedition Army to serve. The leadership positions of the Alumni Association are elected by alumni and are held by alumni of the army. As for the establishment of an alumni association in the Tang Dynasty Military Academy, an alumni association is responsible for contacting various alumni branches and guiding the work activities of each alumni branch.

The president of the Alumni Branch of the Western Army is currently served by Gao Kan, and his term is three years. Because three years is a cycle of adjustment and transfer of military officers, the alumni association will inevitably follow. Now other troops have also elected the president of the Alumni Association, but other alumni associations cannot compare with the Alumni Association of the Western Army.

Everyone respects Emperor Li Shimin as the lifelong president of the Alumni Association, and elects Jing Wen, the Tang Military Academy, as the secretary-general of the Alumni Association, to be responsible for the actual operation. The organization of the General Association currently has teachers from the Tang Military Academy, but they all work part-time.

"Everyone has written it down, and we will immediately ask the emperor to approve our plan so that we can openly establish this alumni association." Jing Wen said.

Soon, Li Shimin received a related memorial.

"Well, this alumni will be good! I am not only their mentor, but also their alumni. This can be said to be very strict in control." Li Shimin agreed.

Because Li Shimin also discovered a benefit, that is, if these military academy students can climb up slowly in various troops in the future, they can help each other, and other officers will take the initiative to join the Tang Military Academy. Li Shimin is the principal of the Tang Military Academy, but their mentor! And this alumni of the Tang Military Academy are all Li Shimin's natural allies. With their support, the emperor's influence in the army will increase day by day. In fact, Li Shimin also knew that the factions in the army are inevitable. Instead of letting other factions rise, it is better to gather these factions under his own hands so that they can better control the army. In the future, no matter what, these officers from the Tang Military Academy grew up with the support of Li Shimin, so they can be relatively relieved to the emperor.

"Accurate! But in the future, activities must be open and cannot be private." Li Shimin wrote these words on the memorial, which means that Li Shimin agreed.
Chapter completed!
