"Last master?"
Not only Wang Laipin, but also the other Wu Jinshi were full of doubts, not to mention the people watching.
Wang Laipin's thoughts turned quickly. This sword weighed more than one hundred kilograms. Anyone who could wield such a heavy sword and be collected by the royal family must be a well-known figure who had died serving the country.
There are only three people who meet this condition.
They were Ma Fang, the most powerful border general in the Jiajing period who defeated the Mongolian Altan Khan and surrendered to him. He was known as "the famous general Wanli Ma, with white hair and loyal heart".
The second one is about Li Rusong, who had a shocking battle in Pyongyang, encountered a heroic enemy in Byokjeokwan, and sealed his throat with a sword in the surprise attack at Yongsan.
The third one is Liu Dadao, Liu Wei, who is known as the most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty.
PS: The big sword weighs more than 100 kilograms. It is probably a training knife. Let’s calculate it as 120 kilograms. The general’s body weighs 160 kilograms and the armor weighs 40 kilograms. The total is 320 kilograms.
It cannot be said that the war horse cannot bear this load, but it definitely cannot run fast. Of course, there may be such a fierce man, so we will have fun in the novel.
He is a wielder of heavy swords. He naturally knows about these three fierce men, so he must be among these three.
Thinking of this, Wang Laipin bent down and picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and gently tapped the blade. He listened carefully to the sound made by the blade with a smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, the student dares to guess that it is Liu Wei and Liu Shaobao's sword."
"What's the reason?"
"Your Majesty, there are only three famous generals in the Ming Dynasty who can use such heavy swords. However, this sword is made of iron, and only Liu Shaobao's sword meets this condition.
Moreover, Liu Wei was the first in martial arts during the Wanli period, and his student was the top scholar in martial arts. Jiannu was my mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
And Amin, who killed Liu Wei, also killed tens of thousands of our Ming Dynasty soldiers. Your Majesty wants students to follow Liu Wei's example and go into battle to kill the enemy.
It not only avenges Liu Wei, but also promotes the power of our Ming army. "
"Okay, a sword matches a hero. The gift I have put so much effort into to reward you is not in vain."
Hearing Chongzhen's response, all those who wielded knives had looks of envy in their eyes at this moment.
Liu Wei made numerous military exploits throughout his life, including pacifying the Burmese and Luoxiong rebellions, pacifying the Japanese soldiers, Bo chieftains, and the Japanese, and engaged in hundreds of battles, large and small, which shocked all directions.
In the Battle of Sarhu, the idiot scholar Yang Hao's disorderly command caused Liu Wei's Eastern Route Army to fall into a desperate situation in Abdali Gang, and was raided by General Amin of the Later Jin Dynasty.
After eight hours of fierce fighting, he was still extremely brave, was hit by several arrows, and finally died of exhaustion.
Such a fierce man's sword, not to mention sharp, can increase his strength by a hundred kilograms just by using it.
Caressing the long knife in his hand, Wang Laipin thought to himself: "Senior, don't worry, I will take Amin's life for you and avenge you!"
Chongzhen looked at Wang Laipin who was holding the long sword tightly, and sighed in his heart, I hope this long sword can change your destiny!
According to historical records, after Wang Laipin won the top prize in Wu, he was awarded the title of deputy general of Shandong Province, a first-class official.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde rebelled and occupied Dengzhou and raised troops to rebel. Wang Laipin also participated in the counter-rebellion battle. Although Dengzhou City was captured, Wang Laipin was hit by a fire cannon and died in the battle.
"Okay, this is the end of the Wuchen Martial Arts Transmission Ceremony. When you enter the palace tomorrow to express your gratitude, I will host another banquet to entertain you all!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he glanced at the people watching.
"I have heard a lot of things about martial arts students causing trouble in the past few days. The reason is that they missed the martial arts class because they did not arrive in time. Is there any such martial arts student on the scene? Please come forward."
After the crowd stirred for a while, people stood up one after another, and in the end there were as many as a thousand people.
Looking at these thousands of people, Chongzhen's eyes turned cold: "Didn't you think about your mistakes before making trouble?"
"The imperial edict was issued on November 28, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and it lasted sixty-four days until the dragon raised his head on the second day of February.
It only takes seven or eight days to rush from six hundred miles to two capitals and thirteen provinces. In other words, you have fifty-six or seven days to make the journey.
I allowed you to go to the inn, and asked the local prefectures and counties to cooperate with you. As a martial arts practitioner, under these conditions, you will not be able to walk five thousand miles in the past two months.
Either the body is not good enough, the perseverance is not good enough, or the determination to participate in martial arts is not enough.
But no matter what it is, the failure to arrive is all your own fault. From the moment the edict was issued, the martial arts examination had already begun. It is a pity that you missed it. "
Everyone was silent, and their faces were a little gloomy.
Li Banghua now also understood what Chongzhen meant when he asked Chongzhen for an extension, saying that martial arts had already begun.
"Your Majesty, if this is the reason, I admit it, but I was notified on December 12th. I hurriedly hurried and was still late."
Suddenly a high-pitched voice sounded, breaking the tranquility of the scene.
Li Banghua's expression suddenly changed, as did the expressions of the cabinet and the six ministers. Would anyone dare to delay such an edict?
Since one person was delayed because the edict was late, there must be a second and third person.
Now it's just an edict. What if it's emergency military information or information about natural and man-made disasters?
If you delay for one day, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
I am simply tired of living.
Chongzhen's expression was very calm, this kind of thing was expected by him.
"Because it was the imperial court's operational problems that caused you to miss the martial arts. This is the imperial court's fault, but if you miss it, you miss it.
I can't abolish these eighty-eight Wu Jinshi because of you. It's unfair to them.
I can only say that you are unlucky. Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength. "
Without waiting for the man to question, Chongzhen said: "I know this makes you very unconvinced. If I hadn't changed the rules of martial arts, you would still have to go through the martial arts examination and the general examination before you can get here.
The rules have been changed this year. It is the luck of the martial arts students who participated in the martial arts this year. Will the martial arts students in the previous few subjects also have to make trouble?
If people who have participated in the Wuxiang Examination and the Wushu Association Examination take the exam together with the Wushu students who have not participated, will they cause trouble? "
"I'm just telling you that there is no absolutely fair and perfect way to deal with it in this world, there are only relatively fair and reasonable ways to deal with it.
Some people don’t even like gold and silver, let alone something like this?
But the imperial court will take responsibility for its own problems, and the imperial court will compensate you. The specific plan will be announced after three days of discussion by the Ministry of War. "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Tingdeng, the censor of Zuodu of the Supervisory Council: "Zhang Aiqing, the Supervisory Council has issued a notice to the censors of all provinces and Taoism to thoroughly investigate the delay of the edict. If it is due to weather problems, that's all.
If an official neglects his duty and is dismissed from his post, it will be treated as a delay in urgent military affairs. "
Everyone was shocked again. The law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that if someone delays the transmission of urgent military information, he will receive eighty sticks one day late, one hundred sixty sticks two days late... until he is beheaded.
"Li Aiqing, I'll leave this to you, I'll go back first!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Li Banghua bowed towards Chongzhen and handed over his hands. The sound of ritual music and firecrackers sounded, and all the officials followed Chongzhen out of Chengtianmen Square.
The Wuchen Martial Arts Pass-on Ceremony ended here, but the martial arts process was not over. They also entered the palace to express their gratitude and went to the Martial Temple to pay homage to the sages. Finally, they changed their crowns and uniforms.
Only after completing this process did their status change from civilian to official, and finally they erected monuments and inscribed their names to pass down their names to future generations.
After Chongzhen and the officials left, Li Banghua looked at the people in Chengtianmen Square.
"I know that in addition to the martial arts students who failed to make time and made trouble, there are also some candidates who made trouble because they felt that the test papers were judged unreasonably.
In particular, the gap between the two exams, Art of War and Policy Questioning, is even greater.
Some people did very well in the martial arts and camp formation tests, but did poorly in the art of war and strategy tests and failed. Then I will tell you the evaluation criteria for this martial arts test. "
