Perhaps because he wanted to show off, Sun Dacai did not directly tell the result of the matter, but started with the reason.
"Recently, a merchant from the north came to my place to pay homage to Shantou, oh no, to discuss business ideas with each other. He told me that the imperial martial arts examination was carried out very quickly, and it only took a few months. Completed all the procedures and successfully competed for the much-anticipated Sanding Armor..."
"So fast?"
"Um……"
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then started to analyze.
The martial arts examination is different from the civil examination. The results are judged on the spot and the whole process is fast.
Of course, this is also directly related to the method and content of the exam.
details as follows:
There are two examinations for each stage of the martial arts examination. The first round is a martial arts competition, which includes horse-riding, arrows, spears, knives, swords, halberds, boxing, stabbing, etc. Two trial camps, mines (note: trap type.), gunpowder, tanks, etc.
It is not difficult to see from this that the test items at each level are similar, the only difference is the difficulty. If you proceed in this way, the speed will naturally increase. What's more, with the constant urging from the court, it becomes even more impossible to stop.
Objectively speaking, although this type of scientific examination can provide a platform for private experts to jump into the dragon's gate, it is difficult to attract real talents.
There is no other reason than that this talent selection method lacks the core essence.
Anyone who is a commander must have knowledge of astronomy and geography. In addition, he must be proficient in the art of war and strategy. If he only focuses on physical skills, what is the difference between recruiting a reckless man?
In other words, there are serious problems with this method of talent selection.
It was precisely for this reason that Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to martial arts, and just went through the motions with nothing, even if he had completed the task.
The topic has gone too far, let’s get back to the present.
After finishing pulling a lot of calves, Sun Dacai directly answered his brother-in-law's question: "It is said that the top martial arts champion in Jinke was taken away by a master named Wang Zhifan."
Wang Zhifan?
Who is this person?
Qi Yu thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
Yu Hai hurriedly answered: "There are countless unknown people. It's not surprising if you don't know them."
Makes sense.
Having said that, is the topic of Wu Zhuangyuan finished?
not at all.
I saw Sun Dacai taking a mouthful of watermelon and saying while chewing: "I also heard that at the suggestion of Master Kang Yu, the Minister of War, he successively set up arenas in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that he wanted to exchange ideas with civilian masters to gain mutual understanding. To improve.”
What?
Set up a challenge?
Qi Yu was stunned at first, and then after a brief glance, he figured out the meaning.
Last year's defeat in the battle with Fuso really disgraced the Minister of War. Now that he had a suitable opportunity to show his face, he naturally had to find a way to regain his reputation.
Setting up an arena is a very good option.
High-profile, flamboyant, and influential.
If done properly, it is easy to form a healthy trend of worshiping the strong and use this to clear away the haze left behind.
And His Majesty the Emperor is equally happy with it. This operation can not only well reflect the golden age when talents are abundant, but also greatly demonstrate his noble character of thirsting for talents. Why not do such a wonderful thing?
In this way, the emperor and his ministers sang a double act that pleased everyone.
In response, Qi Yu just laughed and then ignored it.
We are currently busy with disaster relief, so how can we have time to pay attention to these gossips?
After the discussion was over, Yu Hai immediately started taking action according to the agreed upon plan, with all links being carried out at the same time in no particular order. Although it looks extremely tense, it is actually orderly and not chaotic.
…
As the saying goes, disaster relief is like putting out fire, and no time can be lost.
The most important thing is speed.
Therefore, early the next morning, Qiongzhou's disaster relief fleet gathered at Tianzi Pier. They only waited for Master Qi's order to set off in a mighty manner.
look!
The rows of ships were all pressed to the waterline, and there was no remainder. It was not difficult to see that this trip was absolutely full, full of intention and sincerity.
The banner that read "When one side is in trouble, support from all sides" was pulled out from the ship and written by Qi Yu himself, it was really eye-catching in the field of vision. Every word in it is full of a kind of righteousness, which makes people's hearts surge and burst into tears.
Under the attention of everyone, Qi Yu, dressed in military uniform, rode up at high speed.
"See Mr. Qi!"
"Everyone! No courtesy!"
After getting off his horse, Qi Yu immediately stepped onto the temporary commander's platform and looked down at his soldiers with dignity.
Finally, he said loudly: "Disaster relief is like fighting, so I specially used the military ceremony to see you off today!"
"Roar!!"
Qi Yu pressed his hand and said: "When you arrive at the disaster area, you must spread the message widely and tell the local victims at all times that our steam engine fleet is just an urgent vanguard. In the follow-up, there will be sailing ships. The second and third support teams. The food is definitely enough, so they don’t have to steal or rob, they can just wait there for rescue!”
"yes!"
As soon as his voice changed, Qi Yu said solemnly: "If you encounter someone who deliberately makes things difficult for you on the way, I grant you the right to shoot and kill them. No matter what the consequences are, I will be solely responsible for them."
"yes!"
Having said that, he told Wei Qingyang, the temporary deputy commander-in-chief of the disaster relief: "On this trip, I also grant you the right to behead three times. That is, those who are unfavorable for disaster relief will be beheaded! Those who disobey military discipline will be beheaded! Those who harass the people will be beheaded. ! Everything is done cheaply, kill first and report later!"
When the latter heard this, he hurriedly replied solemnly: "I sincerely comply with Lord Qi Jun's decree!"
Qi Yu nodded, and then said loudly: "Start the cannon firing! The army moves out!"
"yes!!"
Amidst the roaring sound of cannons, Qiongzhou's disaster relief fleet lined up in a long formation on the sea. After the farewell military salute, they sailed away from the shore as quickly as possible.
From a distance, this fleet looks like a Southern Ocean dragon emerging from the sea, full of momentum, mighty and domineering.
It contains not only relief money and food, but also Qiyu’s political ideals and ambitions.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
Now, it's time to put it into practice.
Qi Yu stood tall and straight on the beach with his hands behind his hands, watching and listening to the waves crashing on the shore in front of him, seemingly deep in thought.
He knew very well that as long as his disaster relief fleet left the shore, the lurking inner guard would spread the news to the capital as quickly as possible. And His Majesty the Emperor can truly see where his family background lies.
If that happens, what will he think?
Alas... I don’t know!
