Chapter 107 Assessment
.The time passed quickly. During this period, Wu Yi, Qian Mo, Du Deng) | After suffering, they started their daily training after changing to a remote courtyard.
The first thing I have to do after getting up every day is to pick up stones of about half a pound of size and throw them ten times in the distance, then lift a stone of about 80 pounds several times, and then have breakfast after finishing it. After dinner, I rest for a while and start running for three thousand meters. Of course, these three thousand meters are just an estimate. After running, I am exhausted. In the afternoon, I crawl more than 200 steps on the ground, and then lift the stones and throw them.
These three people used to be basically the kind of people who could not pick their shoulders and lift their hands. They were exhausted just by running three thousand meters, not to mention that they had to climb, throw stones and lift weights. All they could persevere was completely influenced by Xia Wanchun. Although Xia Wanchun was a scholar like them, she was much easier to do these things than them. She threw stones, lifted weights, ran, and crawled forward. Xia Wanchun was far ahead of each.
Wu Yi and Qian Mo are both in their twenties and are young. Although Xia Wanchun has married, she is actually just a half-old boy. Both of them are worse than a half-old boy. Naturally, they are not convinced and have to grit their teeth and complete it. One Jinshi and one Juren do not complain, so Du Dengchun naturally has to follow him.
The reason why Xia Wanchun could do it easily was naturally because he was better than ordinary people. Xia Yunyi advocated retro. When he was the county magistrate in Changle County, the center of governing county affairs was to use ancient education, abolish the disadvantages and promote the benefits, oppose the use of heavy taxes, advocate comforting the weak, and strive to reach the state of Datong as the ancients said. He himself was honest and honest. This unique practice in the late Chongzhen period achieved great results. For a time, Changle County was harmonious and everyone was prosperous, and the people applauded.
When Xia Wanchun was born, Xia Yunyi was already 35 years old and had a son in middle age. His parents were prone to spoiling. In addition, Xia Wanchun had a name for a prodigy since childhood, read classics at the age of five, could scriptures at the age of seven, and compiled poetry collections at the age of nine. Once such a child was spoiled, he would become a harm to Zhongyong. Fortunately, in the education of his son, Xia Yunyi did not spoil him, and also advocated retro, the six arts of gentlemen, rituals, music, archery, imperialism, books, and numbers. Xia Yunyi taught his son carefully.
"Shooting is not simple. It refers to riding a horse and shooting archery. Only because bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons of cold weapons and cavalry are the most powerful troops, these two items refer to scholars who must practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies in order to travel the world and fight on the battlefield. Xia Wanchun completely followed his father's request to practice martial arts and exercise, and never pulled down. During the years when Xia Yunyi was in pain, he even traveled around the world with his son, which not only made Xia Wanchun strong, but also had a broad vision.
With such a good foundation, Xia Wanchun's completion of various projects is naturally much easier than the other three. Except for the first day, the four of them practiced hard for eight days and took a break on the tenth day to restore their energy. It has to be said that this temporary training is also very effective. Except for whether the weightlifting has improved, the other three have made great progress.
During their training period, countless young and middle-aged men who spontaneously arrived in Nanjing left sadly. Even in the first level, the ones left were still ten or ten. If they were according to the standard of first collection, even in the capital, the Yulin Guard could recruit 50,000 people. Of course, this would not work. There were too many monks and less porridge, and most people were destined to be eliminated.
On the day of the test, Xia Wanchun, Wu Yi and others arrived at the military camp early, and the other scholars rushed over. After a rough count, the four found that at least 400 scholars participated. Several of them admired Xia Wanchun's foresight. There were only so many people in the first group. Obviously, the Yulin Guards could not be hired, and most of them would definitely be eliminated.
But many people didn't know themselves. Most scholars were arrogant and didn't care about the test that was about to come. They talked loudly about how they would train soldiers and command the Yulin Guard to kill on the battlefield, crying and waving in a panic.
Xia Wanchun, Wu Yi and others heard it secretly. It was funny. After these days of training, they knew that war was not something that could be understood by talking about war. At least training alone was a very hard thing.
"General is here!" A Yulin Guard shouted loudly. The soldiers who were whispering were shocked. Everyone hurriedly looked forward. More than a dozen Yulin Guards were hugging a young man wearing red armor, silver helmets, and a sword hanging on his waist. He looked serious.
"He's the general?"
“I think it’s only twenty-five years old at most.
”
"If I had signed up a year ago when the Yulin Guard recruited people. Maybe I would have become a general now."
...
"Everyone, this is the guerrilla general of Sun Kexian, Liuying of Yulinwei. Your assessment will be chaired by General Sun. This time, the number of places to be collected by Yulinwei is limited. If the requirements are not met, no one will be accepted."
"Oh, it turns out that this person is Sun Kexian." Some people said thoughtfully that the Yulin Guard's record is outstanding, and the generals inside will naturally receive the attention of many people. As a guerrilla general, Sun Kexian can rank firmly in the top 20 in the emerging group of Yulin Guard. It is not surprising that some people know.
"Is it really necessary to take the exam?" Some taxis that were not prepared at all
They didn't even know what projects they wanted to take. When they heard these people, Qian Mo and the others looked at each other. If they hadn't met Xia Wanchun, they would probably be as at a loss as those scholars now.
Sun Kexian glanced at everyone lightly, as if full of substance, the entire scene was immediately quieted down. Sun Kexian said: "I will talk about the rules of assessment below. The assessment is divided into four items. Ten people in each group will conduct an assessment. All assessments are completed and one after another. As long as the action is completed within the specified time, the standards given to you by the Yulin Guard will be met. Even if this assessment is passed, a sergeant will set a demonstration before each assessment, so that you know the gap. Don't think that the Yulin Guard's assessment is a difficult task for you. Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly." Hundreds of people responded sighingly.
"The first item of the assessment is to crawl forward 200 meters, Du Dashan."
"arrive!"
"You show you, referee, and remember the time."
"Yes, General!" Du Dashan and the three Yulin Guards holding a pendulum bell in their hands replied in unison.
"What is crawling forward? " Many scholars couldn't help but whisper.
Du Dashan came to a marked line. A flag was inserted a hundred meters away from the front. His hands had to touch the flag and then return.
".preparation!"
With a bang, Du Dashan was already lying on the ground, and an uproar came from the various scholars.
"start!"
Rusty. The sound rang out, Du Dashan climbed forward quickly on all sides, leaving a clear mark along the way, and the uproar among the scholars became louder and louder. How could this be done? Such words were insulting. The Yulin Guards around him stood in a stern manner, and ignored the uproaring scholars.
Du Dashan turned around and crawled back. When his fingers touched the thread, Sun Kexian's voice had already come: "Stop, tell the time."
"53 seconds"
"54 seconds"
"54 seconds"
"The result is 54 seconds, you guys, have you heard that you are also crawling forward for 200 meters. Just enter for two minutes and pass. The less time it takes, the better. If you haven't passed for such a long time, it only means that you don't meet the requirements and can leave." Sun Kexian looked at the group of scholars and said coldly.
Xia Wanchun, Wu Yi and others thought that the Yulin Wei assessment would start with the simplest throwing and weightlifting, but they did not expect that it would be the most difficult thing for scholars to accept to crawl forward. Several people looked at each other and immediately understood Sun Kexian's intention. If someone did not want to do this level, it would be useless to do the previous ones, so as to save time.
"This general, all of us scholars are in accordance with etiquette. This move is suspected of being humiliating. Can we change to an assessment?" A scholar stood up and said.
"Mr. Mingshan is right. This move is a shame. I will change to an assessment."
"Yes, change one, change one." Seeing someone taking the lead, many people shouted together, Xia Wanchun, Wu Yi and others had sneered on their faces. These people are too naive. If the Yulin Guard's assessment can be changed, then the Yulin Guard will not become the Yulin Guard.
Sun Kexian smiled on his face: "Who wants to change? Standing on the left, and staying still if he doesn't change."
"I'll do it." The scholar who had just left and spoke strode to the left.
"Mr. Mingshan wants to change, we will change too." More than ten scholars followed him. Some of the people who were calling out just now hesitated and shouted in the crowd that it was okay. This is a military camp. If you offend the military leader in front of you, you don't know if something bad will happen.
"Are you willing to be so insulting?" Seeing that there were so few people following him, the scholar who called Mingshan shouted anxiously. He urged him several times, and then some people came over. Seeing that there were more people passing by, many scholars became bolder, and in the end more than a hundred scholars stood on the left.
"Is there anyone else coming?" After asking several times, several scholars probably felt something was wrong, so they slipped back from the left, and no one moved on the right.
Sun Kexian's smile stopped and he really thought that anyone could enter the glorious group of Yulinwei: "Come on, put away the license plates on these people and leave the military camp."
"Yes, general." Before these scholars could react, hundreds of Yulin Guards rushed up and took back the wooden signs on the men standing on the left. Many men struggled desperately, but they were not the opponents of Yulin Guards. After a while, all the men's wooden signs were taken back.
If he could not rob the Yulin Guard, some scholars immediately cursed, some of the scholars looked as if they were ashen, and they were yelling to beat the drum and complain to the emperor.
"A vulgar man, if you treat the scholars who are loyal and righteous, you will definitely not have a good ending." The leader of Mr. Mingshan stamped his feet and cursed.
Sun Kexian was unmoved: "Go out!"
Until the voices of the more than one hundred scholars could no longer be heard, Sun Kexian announced as if nothing had happened, saying: "The assessment started again."
