Chapter 53 Yue Fei, the new champion of martial arts!
After the monarch and his ministers discussed the issue of prisoners of Liao and other matters, Chai, the Minister of Rites, came in and out.
"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival in March that you previously decided has basically ended. This imperial examination, including scholars from the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty and other places, has a total of more than 18,000 candidates, and more than 1,200 candidates have been admitted. ."
"In addition, two hundred tributes participated in the palace examination. The palace examination was presided over by the queen and the prince, with the two prime ministers on the left and right as the examiners, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel as invigilators. It ended five days ago!"
While talking, Chai Jin took out a stack of examination papers and said: "The two prime ministers on the left and right have made a preliminary ranking of the new scholars, but the top three have not yet been selected. Your Majesty needs to make a decision!"
Lin Nuo nodded and selected three test papers from the many test papers that Chai Jin handed over. In his opinion, he was quite satisfied with the test papers.
The title of this imperial examination was also decided by Lin Nuo before, and the title was "Unification of the World."
Most of the candidates, perhaps because they did not understand the strength of the military, chose a cautious and conservative policy in their answers.
Most of the content is a strategy of finding allies and developing in a low-key manner, either uniting the Song Kingdom or uniting the Liao Kingdom. Although it makes some sense, it is very time-consuming.
After all, Lin Nuo has been farming in Liangshanbo for seven years. If he continues farming, it will be a waste of time.
The three-point answer sheet Lin Nuo selected gave him a bright feeling.
The contents of these three answer sheets actually have similar meanings. They all adopt a proactive offensive strategy, first to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then to destroy Liao with Jin and occupy the vast territory in the north.
In their discussion, the Song Dynasty was good at defense but not good at attacking, and its courtiers were compromising and conservative. If the Qian Dynasty went to war with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty would not only not send troops, but would even choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the success.
This is an opportunity for the Daqian Kingdom. As long as the Liao Kingdom can be destroyed, the situation in the world will basically be clear. Even if the world cannot be unified, it can still be divided from the Song Dynasty.
As for Xixia and Jin, there is not much discussion in the three-point examination paper, and these two countries are basically ignored.
There is no way, the Jin Kingdom was founded not long before Daqian, and it is said that the environment there is harsh and the population is sparse. It is said to be a country, but it is more like a large tribe. Even if it defeated the Liao Kingdom in the decisive battle of founding the country, the candidates would subconsciously He thought it was just a fluke, taking advantage of the carelessness of the top officials of the Liao Kingdom!
Not only the candidates think so, but almost the entire world thinks so. Even in the defeated Liao Kingdom, many senior officials still believe that it is not difficult to destroy the Jin Kingdom!
It's okay that the Jin Kingdom is not taken seriously, but Xixia is not taken seriously either. From Lin Nuo's point of view, this is somewhat interesting.
The Liao State despised the Song State, and the Song State despised the Xixia State. This chain of contempt also clearly divided the military strength of the several major countries.
In the end, Lin Nuo selected the one with the most detailed discussion among the three examination papers and selected it as the top candidate, while the remaining two papers were selected as the second and third overall candidates.
After selecting the top three, Lin Nuo had time to check the names of these three people.
The number one winner was named Zongze, the second place winner was named Liu Anshi, and the third overall winner was named Li Gang.
To be honest, Lin Nuo didn't know any of these three people, but after seeing the expressions of "Sure enough" on the faces of the courtiers below, he suddenly felt that these three people had some origins.
Without waiting for Lin Nuo to ask, Zhu Wu quickly stepped forward and handed over a piece of information. After Lin Nuo raised his hand to take it, he looked at it carefully.
I have to say that these three people are really awesome. Each of them comes from the Song Dynasty, and they are all Jinshi. They all have official positions in the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they went to Daqian Junior High School and participated again. Imperial examination.
"Your Majesty, these three people are friends of Mr. Huang Shang. They were invited by Mr. Huang Sang and chose to be loyal to Your Majesty. However, these three people are a bit stubborn and do not want to become officials through nepotism. They insist on taking the imperial examination again. I have no choice but to acquiesce!" Zhu Wu explained.
"very good!"
Lin Nuo nodded with satisfaction, "There is no need to keep such talented people waiting any longer... A decree was drawn up to confer Zongze as Minister of War, Li Gang as Chief of War, and Liu Anshi as Yushitai Doctor. Today, Take office!"
To be honest, it is okay for the leaders of Liangshanbo to go to the battlefield and lead troops to fight, but there are still too few talents who can govern the country.
In this imperial examination, three talents were discovered in succession. Lin Nuo was also in a good mood. He smiled and nodded to Huang Shang, who was standing silently by the side. It was a pity that the old man seemed to be asleep just standing there. , no response at all.
Lin Nuo wasn't upset either. Although the old man was a bit stubborn, he was at least willing to work for Da Qian. In any case, this was a good sign.
This imperial examination was divided into liberal arts and martial arts. The top three courtiers in liberal arts did not dare to make their own decisions, but left it to Lin Nuo to make the final judgement.
As for the martial arts examination, it is very simple. It is clear who is strong and who is weak. Among the ministers present, most of them are masters, such as Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others. This can also eliminate the possibility of cheating in the examination room, so they directly selected the martial arts examination after the martial arts examination. The top pick and the second pick are the top picks.
In this regard, Lin Nuo nodded indifferently. He actually didn't attach much importance to martial arts. After all, his current Qian Dynasty was full of generals and there was no shortage of generals.
However, when he saw the name of the top martial artist, Lin Nuo's eyes suddenly froze, and he was slightly stunned.
Yue Fei!
These two big characters really exceeded Lin Nuo's expectations. He never expected that just one imperial examination would attract future military strategists, strategists, and national heroes like Yue Fei.
"Your Majesty, although Yue Fei is less than thirty years old, he is a top choice in terms of martial arts and military strategy. Even Zhu Wucheng was amazed by his military talent. If such a talent can make him After a few years of training on the battlefield, I will definitely become the backbone of my army!"
This is Lu Junyi's evaluation of Yue Fei. It can be said that he highly praises him. Even a congenital master can praise him so highly. It can be seen that Yue Fei is indeed extremely outstanding in terms of military ability.
Lin Nuo was still very confident in Yue Fei's ability.
In history, the Jin State destroyed more than 100,000 elite troops of the Liao State with only 10,000 to 20,000 troops. After that, the Vietnam War became stronger and stronger. It first destroyed the Liao State and then the Song Dynasty. It drove the Song Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River and established an extremely The huge Golden Empire.
But the Jin Kingdom, which had such a strong military strength, suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of Yue Fei. Yue Fei destroyed the city and regained the lost territory. If the Southern Song Dynasty court had not forcibly recalled him with twelve gold medals, the Jin Kingdom would have really lost the battle. Destroyed in his hands!
Even people like this have entered the Daqian Kingdom. Lin Nuo feels that the time has come to dominate the world!
