The generals were proud and proud, and the civil servants were in an uproar, each racking their brains to think of how to refute.
"Ha, he does have some eloquence." Song Tianhan laughed dryly, realizing that he might have underestimated this rough man with long beard and thick eyebrows.
"Are you eloquent?" Baili Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Do the soldiers of our empire rely on their eloquence to guard the border? No, they rely on these broken helmets and rusty armor, they rely on their seven-foot body, and they rely on their passionate blood.
I also want to ask, who was laughing just now?"
Bailisheng spread his arms as if hugging the mountains and rivers.
Meng Zhongcheng concluded, in fact, many people just laughed at Cheng Dalei, not only the civil servants, but also the military generals. Now the military commanders share the same hatred, and the civil servants shook their heads and sighed, with an expression of "How could you do this?"
Where the two major groups clash, cannon fodder is expendable.
"Is it funny?" Baili Sheng asked again: "It's funny to fight bloody battles with the Rong tribe in armor? Is it funny to be loyal? Or is the glory of our empire's soldiers ridiculous?"
"Well……"
Baili Sheng felt very happy in his heart. In the disputes between civil servants and military generals, the military commanders always lost more and won less, and were scolded by the civil servants many times. For this reason, he worked hard and read poems and books. What was it for?
Isn't it possible just like today to scold the civil service clique to a pulp?
In this way, Cheng Dalei felt more and more cute. He patted his shoulder and said: "Niu Xiaowei, I have a pair of armor that I can give to you. I am not as good as you and have never killed the Rong tribe wearing it. I wanted you to wear a brand new one."
I go into battle with my armor to kill the enemy. Unfortunately, you are indeed guilty today, and I can’t say anything. I can only ask you to wear my armor when you go to the execution ground to be beheaded, and die honorably as an imperial soldier.”
Both Cheng Dalei and Meng Zhongcheng are cannon fodder and can be sacrificed.
Song Tianhan roared in his heart, "Why don't you say anything? You've said enough. If you really cut off Niu Sanjin's head, why wouldn't the general government make Niu Sanjin a model?"
The imperial hero who couldn't afford to fight and only wanted to kill the enemy was beheaded. Oh, if you ask why he was beheaded, I don't know. It seems that a man named Song Tianhan convicted him.
This will not only stir up public dissatisfaction, but also use it to leverage the cake of the civil service group.
"Uncle, it's serious, isn't it? Just a few pushes can lead to beheading, uncle is joking."
"Pushing? I see his nose is bleeding?"
"Getting angry! The weather is so dry and Mr. Meng is young and energetic. Isn't it normal to get angry and have a nosebleed?"
"Then let this matter go?"
It's a pity that Baili Sheng can't kill Cheng Dalei to use the topic.
"It doesn't matter if I have something to do, there is something else to do next, so don't delay here."
Everyone walked in together, leaving only Meng Zhongcheng standing there with a broken head and blood.
Cheng Dalei was new here, and he didn't understand many of the rules of the officialdom, and he didn't know what was going to happen next. Didn't he just report in and leave?
After passing through the house and coming to the backyard, Cheng Dalei and other examiners walked into a large hall, while Xu Shenji and Xu Ling'er were separated outside.
"Looking at the situation, is there a test?"
Cheng Dalei guessed right, there was indeed an exam. Before these examiners took charge of invigilating the exam, the imperial court would first conduct a small martial arts test on these examiners to see how good each person was, and to determine their position in the group of examiners.
It's just a small test, so naturally it won't be too complicated. There is only one test, which is the written test.
Cheng Dalei was arranged to take a seat and observed the situation in the examination room. There were a total of 103 examiners for the martial arts examination this time, and one hundred of them were in this examination room. Everyone was sitting in front of the case, far away from each other, so that
Eliminates the possibility of cheating.
It is said that the questions this time were set by His Majesty Emperor Ming himself, and eunuchs were in charge of the examination.
Cheng Dalei sat there, scratching his head a little. He was not afraid of nonsense. With his many years of qualifications as a keyboard warrior and his experience across the ages, even in front of Emperor Ming, he could make him foam at the mouth.
It's just that the written test... is really not what Cheng Dalei is good at. He has never put any effort into practicing his calligraphy. The key is that in Toad Village, his educational level was already superior to the others. There is really no need to pursue loneliness and defeat, and Cheng Dalei
It’s a formality for people who don’t quite understand the meaning of this era.
How do you get past this? In this era, passing the test is very important. If it doesn't work, just hand in a blank test.
In fact, Cheng Dalei doesn't need to worry too much. His level is naturally not good enough for civil servants, but among military generals, he is at least in the middle and upper reaches, if not the best.
These rough and tumble men who led troops to fight, some of whom were illiterate, scratched their heads and pulled their hair down in strands.
In contrast, the civil service team is very excited. Their job is to talk nonsense. If they really want to talk nonsense, they will even make your own mother not recognize you.
They all worked hard, vowing to teach the generals a lesson in this exam and occupy a more important seat in the team of examiners.
A eunuch handed out the test papers, and Cheng Dalei had already decided to break the jar. Suddenly, at this moment, the little eunuch who handed out the test papers lightly kicked him.
Cheng Dalei subconsciously raised his head and saw that this little eunuch had a pretty face, red lips and white teeth... I'll wipe it!
It's not that Cheng Dalei is a crook, but that this eunuch is the Imperial Princess Mingyu in disguise.
She is really courageous. If someone recognizes her, her title of princess will have to be cut off due to the poor talk of the civil service group.
"Is there a standard answer to this?" Cheng Dalei asked in a low voice.
Li Waner rolled her eyes at him and pretended not to hear clearly.
It turned out that he was not here to help him cheat, but to monitor whether he was working hard. Cheng Dalei curled his lips and started to check the questions on the test paper.
The question is very simple, as simple as only two words: managing soldiers.
The simplest, but also the most complicated. As expected of His Majesty Emperor Ming, it made everyone unable to write.
We can talk about how to train a squad of a hundred people, or we can talk about the control of an army of 100,000 people. Going even further, we can talk about the spiritual construction of the imperial soldiers.
It can be big or small, deep or wide, so what is the correct answer, or what is the correct answer that Emperor Ming wants.
The generals scratched their heads and the civil servants hesitated. The examination room was very quiet except for the sound of long sighs.
Regarding this point, Cheng Dalei has the right to say.
He led two thousand brothers from Toad Village to fight the Rong tribe for more than three months, and finally won. This at least shows that Cheng Dalei has absolutely no problem commanding an army of two thousand people. As for the deployment of troops,
, logistics supply, treatment of wounded soldiers, etc., Cheng Dalei has learned a lot from practice, and he is not ignorant of everything.
The question is how to put this on paper.
Cheng Dalei thought for a while, then suddenly his heart moved. He dipped his hands in thick ink and dropped a few ink characters on the paper.
