Wu Nian smiled and nodded. It would be too difficult for these generals to make a fuss.
This paper is really about answering questions.
The two garrison households in Guangyang Mansion were chosen. Guangyang Prefecture borders Mongolia and Yuan in the north and Goguryeo in the east.
Although Meng Yuan currently has 90,000 households in Huanglong Mansion, he may not have the energy to attack Guangyang Mansion again.
Although Goguryeo's vitality is currently severely weakened, he estimates that Goguryeo will not dare to cross the Yalu River again.
But what if?
The international situation and the battlefield situation are changing rapidly. What if that powerful enemy on the grassland to the west of Meng Yuan could make an alliance with Meng Yuan?
That way Meng Yuan would have spare strength.
Regardless of whether the enemy is capable of attacking, it is the right thing to do if you are capable of defending yourself.
Plan ahead.
Since it is to defend Guangyang Mansion, it is naturally a related topic. The question on the paper is not what formation to adopt when facing the enemy.
How to set up camp, how to train troops and other basic issues.
But there are several ferries on the Yalu River that can cross the river on a large scale. If the Meng Yuan Dynasty comes to fight for Guangyang Mansion, how many roads are there, and how many dangerous places on the road are there that military strategists must fight for?
How much food does a soldier with ten thousand households need to consume in a year?
One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians, how much food will they consume in a year?
Wait for the question.
Seven Thousand Households all know what this time means. It should also be aimed at Guangyang Mansion and studied defense issues.
Whoever is more prepared will be able to guard ten thousand households. He became a general second only to the school captain and in charge of tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
fair.
However, the paper was fair, but after reading it, Seven Thousand Households felt uneasy. There are only two people for the position and seven contenders.
There must be five people who fail.
They don't know if they can have the last laugh.
After that, no one spoke anymore. Wu Nian asked his soldiers to bring him a cup of tea, and he drank the tea and watched.
The Janissaries remained motionless.
Seven people worked hard to answer the questions.
This process lasted for an hour. Wu Nian also went to the toilet because he had an urgent need to urinate.
After the last person put down his pen, Wu Nian asked his soldiers to collect all the papers and correct them with a red pen on the spot. After correcting everyone's papers, Wu Nian frowned.
The seven Qianhu people didn't dare to sit down. They stood in two rows and looked at Wu Nian, feeling very nervous.
This is a slight difference and a huge difference.
After a while, Wu Nian's brows relaxed, he stood up, arranged the papers on a desk, and invited thousands of households to come and watch.
"I corrected this. Three of the seven of you got all the answers correct."
Seven thousand households immediately gathered around, bent down, and scanned the paper with their eyes. Some people were ashamed, while others were happy.
They competed to guard thousands of households in Guangyang Mansion, but they even missed or made mistakes in basic things. The four people who failed had no complaints.
Soon, everyone looked at each other. There were only two positions, but three people got all the answers correct.
What to do?
Soon, everyone thought of an answer.
Could it be a competition?
But the competition is not very fair. The defending army relies on terrain and cities for defense, and has little to do with personal martial arts.
So the general used this elaborate method and selected ten thousand households to be guarded.
Qianhu raised their heads and looked at Wu Nian.
Wu Nian had already had an idea and said to the three Qianhu: "He Jinping, Zheng Shuang, Qin Yong. You all take off your coats."
Everyone was stunned, why were they undressing?
However, the military orders were overwhelming, and the three of them responded without hesitation, then reached out and untied their battle jackets, revealing their muscular bodies.
Soon, everyone understood why.
Normal people will have no scars on their chest and abdomen. And their chests and abdomens were all marked by swords, spears, swords and halberds.
"Although it's not very fair, I have no other choice. Let's decide the outcome based on the number of wounds on your front."
Wu Nian came to the three of them and counted the number of wounds. He sighed and said, "He Jinping, Qin Yong. Let me use you as a guard for ten thousand households to guard Guangyang Mansion."
"The situation here is special. Please pay attention to communicating with the two captains of the Yalu River Navy to coordinate defense."
"yes."
He Jinping and Qin Yong's faces showed joy, and they bent down and clasped their fists.
The other five people saw that the matter had been finalized, but they were not dissatisfied at all. They were all convinced.
The questions are all the same.
Wounds are merit.
Even Zheng Shuang, who also answered all the questions correctly, did not complain at all.
Wu Nian smiled and nodded, turned back and sat down in the main seat. He Jinping, Zheng Shuang, and Qin Yong put on their war jackets to cover the wounds on their chests.
Wu Nian looked up at them. The five unsuccessful ones were more or less disappointed.
"Hehehe." Wu Nian laughed.
The thousands of households raised their heads and looked at Wu Nian in surprise, wondering why the general was laughing.
Of course they didn't think Wu Nian would laugh at them.
Or despise them.
But at this time, Wu Nian laughed, which was indeed strange.
Wu Nian didn't talk to them. After laughing, he said, "You five, don't be depressed or disappointed."
"You are all very outstanding talents. Your outstanding military exploits and your answers just now prove this."
"Let you become captains and go out to fight the Mongols. I still have some doubts. But let you serve as garrison captains. You are definitely qualified to guard dangerous places and cities."
Having said this, Wu Nian raised his head, his eyes sparkling, looking at everyone with undisguised admiration.
Wu Nian's appreciation cheered up the seven of them, holding their heads high and feeling very honored.
The sparkle in Wu Nian's eyes gradually subsided, and with a smile on his face, he said: "Including the two garrison captains in Guangyang Mansion, there are currently eight. Two in each mansion."
"And there are only four mansions in Liaodong? Isn't there another Huanglong mansion?"
The seven people were stunned for a moment, and then the five people who were unsuccessful were immediately boosted in morale and showed their determination to make progress. yes. Wouldn't it be enough to defeat Huanglong Mansion?
There are five prefectures and thirty-two cities in Liaodong, and there will be ten troops guarding ten thousand households.
When Wu Nian saw that they understood, the smile on his face became even brighter. Said: "Besides. Are there only five Liaodong prefectures in the northeast?"
"I am now the enemy of both Goguryeo and Mongolian people."
"Ignore Meng Yuan for now. I want to devour Goguryeo. Then set up the four Han prefectures. Take the names of the four Han prefectures that were set up when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified it."
"That's it. Doesn't that mean there are eight more official positions of garrison captain?"
"So. For those of you who are not selected, there is no need to be depressed or disappointed. As long as you don't slack off and continue to perform your duties, you will be able to become a guard of ten thousand households sooner or later."
"You've been fooled. Don't be arrogant or complacent. If anyone is lax and ignores precautions, I'll show mercy, but military law doesn't show mercy."
At the end of his speech, Wu Nian's tone became stern again, and he looked at everyone seriously.
