Chapter 46: Martial arts

   Ding Rang is notoriously an incorrupt official, and his residence is very poor.

   Duan Yu didn't care, looked at the slightly dilapidated house in front of him, and called for the door.

   For a moment, a door came out with a surprised face: "Your excellency?"

   "Duan Yu, Liyuan County, please see Ding Gong!"

   Duan Yu carried a gift box and stuffed it with another piece of silver.

   I closed the door, and after weighing it, I felt that there were two or threes, and suddenly laughed so hard that I could not see the teeth: "I can only tell you this. As for if you see it, that's the master's business."

   "This is natural!" Duan Yuzhe headed and watched the door go in. After a while, the door opened: "Master is dead, I will see you in the study!"

   "I have work!"

   Duan Yu followed in, passed a small garden, passed the hall, and went to the study.

   Dingzhan is in regular clothes, is reading a book, and when he sees the gift box in his hand, he is immediately unhappy and said: "Come to me, why bother to take these!"

   "It's just some ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone..." Duan Yu smiled: "Come to see the adults, don't dare to be rude!"

   "Since this is the case, this time it is considered..."

   Ding added a smile to the solemn face, asked the housekeeper next to him to accept the gift, and ordered the maid to serve tea.

   The butler and maid’s eyes looked at Duan Yu suddenly a little bit different. They knew that their master’s difficulty would make him accept a thin gift, which is not something ordinary people can do.

   Duan Yu gently sipped his tea, but smiled in his heart.

   Although Ding Rang is incorruptible, he knows that the other party admires Wang Xuzhen's copybook very much, so he secretly sent a picture to his outer house last night.

   This is the attitude today, it is understandable.

   Ding Rang looked at Duan Yu, and saw a handsome young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a chic temperament. He couldn't help but a little extra color in his eyes, and asked: "What's the matter with the son of Duan?"

   "In order to seek a birth..." Duan Yu showed a wry smile and said about the pedestrian division.

"It turns out that the old man knows your brother's intention to serve the court. Qin Feiyu was recommended by the old man at the time. Now he has performed meritorious service, and the old man is also honored... You are a good talent, do those private things. You are indeed wronged." Ding Rang stroked his beard, thinking a little bit in his heart.

   Although he was slightly unhappy about the Zhou family last time, the two brothers seem to be cultivable talents, especially if they have an early relationship, maybe they can be cultivated.

   In addition, if you don’t use military bureaucrats, you have a natural hostility towards secret agencies such as the Pedestrian Department. For him, the other party has weakened his supervision authority, and it is even more like a throat.

   Therefore, it really hit it off.

   Ding Rang immediately promised to contribute to Duan Yuwu’s work. After chatting for a while, he suddenly looked strange again: "Speaking of Qin Feiyu, you know that a major event has happened in the state army recently!"

   "Oh? What happened?" Duan Yu was startled, Ding Rang specifically mentioned this matter, which obviously has something to do with him.

   "The prisoner in the one crime camp actually killed a participating general and fled..." Ding Rang said in a sigh.

   "What? He could actually kill the generals, not only that, but he could run away?"

   Duan Yu opened his mouth, a little surprised.

   The barracks are heavily guarded, similar to Longtan Tiger’s Den, killing and fleeing, it’s just like a joke.

  Especially if you kill someone and you can escape, it's really a fantasy. I can't help but feel a little curiosity: "I don't know who it is?"

"The criminal Gaogang...I heard that he was originally a team leader, but he ran into his superiors and was sentenced to a crime camp because of a drinking accident..." Ding Rang squinted his eyes and seemed to be watching Duan Yu's reaction: "This happened... Even Qin Feiyu has to get involved. Fortunately, Gao Gang just transferred to his camp...Do you know this person?"

   "I had a relationship, I heard that he is a martial arts master, no wonder..." Duan Yu was very calm.

   In fact, even if the master of martial arts had to kill a general in the state army camp and escape smoothly, the difficulty was simply appalling.

   "Hmph... I have checked, this person is frantic and bold..." Ding Rang naturally has no good feelings about the murderer.

   But Duan Yu was secretly surprised.

   That Takaoka was really upset, even if he was thrown into the army, he didn't have to be transported, but in this desperate situation, he was still able to earn a ray of life, but he was surprised.

  ‘This person’s life is strange, maybe there will be a day to meet? ’

   For no reason, a hunch appeared in Duan Yu's heart.

  ……

   The National Martial Arts Test in the Qing Dynasty is divided into outfield and infield.

   Test riding, shooting, swordsmanship, and strength in the outfield. Among them, riding and shooting requires candidates to ride a horse to gallop across the shooting range, and shoot nine arrows during the round trip, five of which are considered to be qualified; there are three kinds of knives: 30, 40, and 50 catties, and at least one of them is required to be danced. The water is not splashed; the last strength is weightlifting, which is divided into three categories: three stones, four stones, and five stones. At least three stones must be lifted over the shoulders, which is three hundred kilograms to be qualified.

   The infield is a literary examination, an examination of postscripts and policy theory. The Tie Jing is silent writing, selecting a few paragraphs from the Wu Jing, cutting the beginning and ending, and asking candidates to write the full text silently; the policy argument is to discuss their own views around a certain topic.

   If the outfield is dropped, you will not be eligible for the infield.

   Such a harsh and difficult martial arts, can break through the encirclement, naturally are the generation of both civil and military, if you are in politics, you can directly grant official status, and promotion is also very fast.

   And the higher-level martial arts scholars and even the martial champions are the true elite fighters of the entire Qing Dynasty, the talents of generals.

   Today's Yezhou Governor Chen Ce was born as a Wu Jinshi.

   The sun is shining and the school field is full of smoke and dust.

   "There are more than 1,900 people who are qualified to take the martial arts exams in the whole prefecture, such as martial arts scholars and martial arts supervisors, and there are only 30 places for admission..."

   Seeing so many warriors gathered together, Duan Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

   This is still a turmoil, otherwise, the admission ratio may soar to the point of one out of 100. It is really a multitude of troops squeezing the single-plank bridge.

  , on the contrary, is a literary test, and the fame of a person has been tepidly maintained at a ratio of one from three to 40, which is much better than the martial arts test. Even so, Wen Zhuangyuan is also Toshihiko whose article can shock Wenqu.

  ‘The reason is that individuals in this world have power...and those who have power must control power! If the ruling group does not absorb, there will only be corruption...’

   This world emphasizes martial arts and neglects literature, and there is no other way, even Qing Guo is not bad.

   This is because there are Confucian scholars in the academy, and they can also control some power. Otherwise, the status of scholars will really be like the Yuan Dynasty, and they will be driven into the mud.

   "Celebrating the seventeenth year of the calendar, Yezhou Wuxiang Exam, start!"

   After three rumbling salutes, the atmosphere in the school field suddenly became strong. Many candidates were assigned to different areas and began the field exam.

   "The first game, riding and shooting! Shi Lei is on the field and preparing for horse training!"

   An honest young man immediately mounted his horse, with his legs clamped, the horse turned into a black wind and galloped across the shooting range.

   He bent his bow and shot his arrows, the arrows fell like rain, and returned to his position before the incense burned out, panting slightly.

   At the shooting range on the opposite side, there is a special person watching and under the banner.

   "Nine Arrows in Five, Zhongping!"

   The examiner nodded: "The horse training is on the field, Wang Shanzhong is ready!"

  ……

  ‘Most of the candidates here are considered martial arts masters. They can score one against ten...Of course, most of the martial arts candidates are still not enough...’

   Duan Yu looked on coldly and saw one by one candidates come on stage, but only half of them passed.

   This is already amazing. On the grassland, those who can ride and shoot are all first-class warriors.

   "Next, Duan Yu, Liyuan County!"

   Suddenly, the examiner's voice sounded, Duan Yu stepped forward and looked at his horse, frowning slightly.

   Although this horse is a first-class war horse, it has been overworked before, and it is a little out of breath, but it is not too far to stop.

   can be said to be making things difficult within the allowable range.

   In his heart, a sneer appeared: ‘Pedestrian Division? ’

   Now I check the bow and arrow more carefully. At this time, if there is a problem with the equipment, I can request a replacement, but I don’t have this treatment when I play.

   After checking, he stroked the horse's mane lightly and turned up~www.NovelMTL.com~ The horse roared and rushed out like an arrow.

   After a round trip, a semaphore came from the opposite side: "Nine arrows hit the red heart, go up!"

  ‘It’s just an ordinary target. If it is replaced with a moving target for the martial arts test, it may be a little more difficult...’

   Looking at the surrounding eyes in awe, Duan Yu didn't feel much.

  ‘Speaking of which, most of the martial artists of the Qing Dynasty should have the strength of a master. This is the most basic martial arts test. Other literary literacy and military skills are even more advanced, so they are all talents! ’

   Can't help but think that Xue Zhen, Qin Feiyu, and even Gao Gang are all serious partial students. Even if the martial arts meet the standard, but the other scores are too serious, it is helpless.

  ‘It’s just that... I always feel that Takeyu’s treatment is still too low! ’

   Qing Guowu champion, awarded the seven-rank military post, directly joined the army and led the army, the Wen champion was only from the seventh rank, but it was not as good as the Qing Dynasty in the impression.

   Qing Dynasty Wu Zhuangyuan awarded the third rank martial arts, the martial artist awarded the third rank guerrilla, and the Wu Tanhua awarded the fourth rank Dusi. Even Wu Jinshi has the treatment of rank five to rank five.

   Even though it was expensive at that time, the level of remuneration was still very obvious.

  ‘It can be said...Although the court values ​​extraordinary power, it still has some thoughts of exploitation and oppression. This is also very normal. Otherwise, how to build a unified and centralized kingdom and empire? ’

  ‘The essence of Dragon Qi is prestige and killing! ’

  ‘But...what if it shrinks hundreds of times? Can the divine way and air luck born out of a district or a county, or even a township and a village, still suppress the gas refiners? ’

   A thought began to emerge uncontrollably, but was sensibly suppressed by Duan Yu.

   This is not a category he should consider, at least, he shouldn't think so at this time.
