Although some scholars were only born in the military camp, they had no worries about their lives and humiliation, but they were hard to wash away. Many of the more than 200 scholars left behind inevitably felt a sense of sadness of the death of rabbits and foxes. If it was a peaceful and prosperous era, even if it was just a child, the general army would not dare to offend casually. There were more than 100 people, including many scholars, and perhaps even juren. In front of them, they were just a general. They said they had to go out and go out.

But there is a hint of gratitude in the sadness. If I can become a member of the Yulin Guard, it will be much worse than the past election. I am a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, but I don’t believe that I will always be betrayed by those martial artists.

No one dared to be careless in the next assessment, but unfortunately, they were helpless. Du Dashan easily crawled forward in 200 meters in less than a minute. Although he gave these people two minutes, it was a matter of just two minutes. If he could let go of his pride and move forward desperately, most people would pass the test, but many of these scholars could not let go. As long as they delayed a little, they would be over in two minutes and were ruthlessly smeared. One-third of the people were beaten up in this level.

Xia Wanchun, Wu Yi, Qian Mo and Du Dengchun all passed the test easily. The worst Du Dengchun only took one and a half minutes. Xia Wanchun even entered the mark of one minute, only three seconds slower than the demonstration Du Dashan. Even Sun Kexian couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

After the four passes, there were even fewer scholars left, less than a hundred. Fortunately, Xia Wanchun and the other four passed the pass together. Among the four, Xia Wanchun was relaxed every level. Du Dengchun was weak and almost got down at the weightlifting level. Originally, Xia Wanchun found out that the standard for the Yulin Guards to give these scholars was 80 kilograms of heavy objects. Du Dengchun raised the 80 kilograms of stones in his residence, but it was very difficult to lift the military camp. The Yulin Guards could not fake the assessment items. They could only say that the stones they made were too light and did not meet the standards. Wu Yi and Qian Mo did not pass, but they were not easy. They could only be among the passing scholars. There were always many smart people, and many of them had exercised in advance.

Just when Xia Wanchun and others were conducting the assessment, some of the scholars who were sent out by Sun Kexian were suing Wang Fu. However, it was not beaten by the drum, but it was passed to the emperor through the mouth of the censor Lu Lang. Although Lu Lang had not been successful in opposing the opening of the Ministry of Revenue Bank a while ago, his reputation was not affected at all. Instead, his reputation became increasingly famous. Mingshan, the scholar who took the lead in asking Sun Kexian to change the project assessment, happened to know Lu Lang. After returning, he visited Lu Lang's mansion and said Sun Kexian's rude attitude towards the scholar.

After hearing Mingshan's words, Lu Lang was immediately angry and asked to see the emperor directly to impeach Sun Kexian. The censor could hear the news. Wang Fu had to persuade Lu Lang to go back with kind words, and at the same time sent someone to recall Sun Kexian to meet him.

Wang Fu wants to meet. Sun Kexian, of course, not just because of Lu Lang's impeachment, Wang Fu will not pay attention to the recruitment of ordinary personnel for the time being. However, Wang Fu is still very concerned about the recruitment of scholars. As firearms gradually become the protagonist of the war, the army can no longer be composed of illiterate. It has to be said that if scholars can take root in the army, there will be much greater chances of promotion than ordinary people. Today is the first time that scholars are assessed, and Wang Fu also wants to get the assessment as soon as possible.

However, the place where the Yulin Guards conducted the assessment was outside the city, and it often took a lot of time to come and go. When Sun Kexian met the emperor, he was already after the court of the next day.

". The last time I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Sun Aiqing is exempted from courtesy and is given a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Sun Kexian sat down, Wang Fucai asked with a smile: "What happened yesterday's assessment? How could there be more than 100 scholars who were ordered by you to give them all out without the assessment."

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed true." Sun Kexian said the assessment site and then said contemptuously: "These people thought the battlefield was what. They even crawled forward on the ground. The Yulin Guard did not need such waste."

Sun Kexian's dialect was biased, but it was not without reason. Wang Fu smiled slightly when he heard it. He didn't take this matter to heart. He asked: "What about the remaining divine scholars yesterday's assessment?"

"Return to the emperor. Yesterday's assessment, a total of 92 scholars passed the preliminary examination. One of them was a Jinshi, five Juren, and sixteen scholars. Seventy children were left.

”

"Oh, there is also a Jinshi." Wang Fu was very surprised when he heard this. Jinshi could already be an official directly. If he was released from the outside, he would at least be a county magistrate. Although the status of military officers was improving, the Ming Dynasty had been governing the world with civil servants for a long time. A Jinshi actually voluntarily gave up his official position and joined the army. If it was spread, it would probably cause shock to the entire Shilin.

"That's right, this person is like Wu Mingyi, a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and from Wujiang, Suzhou. Because the bandits captured the capital in March of the 17th year, Wu Yi had no time to be appointed as an official. After the bandits fled from the capital, Wu Yi immediately went south from Beijing to his hometown..." Sun Kexian told Wu Yi's situation. He knew that there was a Jinshi who participated in the assessment and was not surprised, so he quickly sent someone to find out Wu Yi's background.

"How is his grade?"

"It's not very good. At most, I can pass the second level. I think he will definitely get rid of the third level."

"No

What is the grade? This person, Yulinwei, has been hired. I want those civil officials to make their way out not only scientific examinations. If gentlemen can master the six arts, they can also achieve success in martial arts."

If there is no celebration, the emperor specially set up a special enrollment; the country will take three years to take the big exam, and the last exam was the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and next year it will be the time for the big exam. Many scholars were eagerly waiting for the imperial court to hold the imperial examination again, but Wang Fu was not interested in the elites selected using the eight-legged essay. However, the scientific examination next year must be carried out, otherwise the hope of the scholars in the world will be detrimental to the stability of the Ming regime. It is just that what is taken is a problem. Wang Fu must make changes. If he can open another way for scholars, the impact on the changes in the scientific examination will be much smaller. Not to mention that Wu Yi can do the first exam, even if he fails the first exam, out of the consideration of buying horse bones for a thousand gold coins, Wang Fu will also stuff Wu Yi back to the Yulin Guard.

"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, there is another person who is very outstanding in this assessment. This person is only sixteen years old and has become a scholar. He has excellent all assessments and has reached the current level of Yulin Guard."

"Who is this person?"

"This person's surname is Xia and his name is Wanchun. His father Xia Yunyi also passed the Jinshi. Please see, the emperor, this is the result of Xia Wanchun's various assessments." After saying that, Sun Kexian handed the folded paper to the emperor, which was the information on Xia Wanchun's assessment.

"Xia Wanchun." Wang Fulian nodded at Lian and suddenly realized something in his heart: "It turned out to be him, but he almost forgot about this young hero."

"The emperor has seen Xia Wanchun before?" Sun Kexian asked strangely when he heard the emperor's contempt.

Wang Fu shook his head and said, "No, I just heard of his reputation. He is a young man, and is very talented. He is not too young and needs to be tempered. After selecting and transferring, don't transfer too high.

”

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

After Xia Wanyi and his team passed the initial assessment, they temporarily lost their freedom and had to eat and live in the military camp and receive training from the Yulin Guard. For many scholars, they were used to studying in Nanjing and went to brothels and taverns to have a romantic life. When they moved into the military camp, they were completely unaccustomed to it. They also had to train every day, which was even more difficult. Some people offered to give up without waiting for the second test.

For such people, Yulin Wei did not leave any difficulties and let them leave directly. When the next batch of appraisal scholars came, there were only 67 left of the original 92 people. Du Dengchun could not bear the hardship and wanted to leave several times, but the other three people had no intention of leaving at all. He gritted his teeth and persevered.

Some scholars can't bear the hardships and leave. The ordinary people who can pass the first selection are all happy. The weather in Nanjing in November is already very cold. After passing the first test, they can eat free food and live in warm tents. It is very different from outside. Moreover, with the training of the Yulin Guard, they will get a lot of cheapness in the next test.

Compared with the lively scene in Nanjing, the Han people in the north are struggling and suffering. Banners carry ropes and horses, occupying Han people's land on a large scale. Shuntian, Baoding, Chengde, Yongping, Hejian and other prefectures. Banners occupied as much as 190,000 hectares of land. The land enclosure caused a large number of people to lose the land they depend on for their survival. They were either displaced, hungry and cold, or forced to become coated slaves of Banners, and lost their freedom from then on.

However, the Han people had a hard time living, and the bannermen had a hard time living. The capital city changed its hands three times, and most of the residents were killed and injured and fled. The land enclosure order and other people fled. Although the land enclosure order allowed all the Manchus to occupy a large amount of land within the pass, the land needed to be cultivated, otherwise crops would not grow automatically. No one would plough, and the land occupied by the Manchus had to be largely desolate.

The upper class of the Qing Dynasty originally expected Shanxi, and Shandong provinces could provide food to the capital, but Shanxi had been fighting with Li Zicheng, and the two sides were intertwined. It would be good that the whole Shanxi's money and grain could maintain Shanxi's army. Sometimes it was necessary to provide food to the capital from time to time. The same was true in Shandong. Due to constant uprisings in various places, especially Xie Qian's army had even captured the capital, and Shandong's troops were frequently mobilized, so it was impossible to provide food to the capital.

When Manren was unable to continue to arrive in the past, the princes and Beile gathered together to discuss for two days, and tens of thousands of troops drove to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After returning, he could always bring back a large number of spoils. However, this year, Manren suddenly discovered that they just wanted to grab it and found a place to grab it as before.

Shanxi and Shandong are its own territory. Shandong used to be Nanzhili, which was rich. However, Duoduo fell into a big fight. After half of the elite soldiers were ruined, no one dared to come forward to make an idea. The only thing that could be grabbed was Henan. If you want to take Henan, you must stabilize Shandong. Dorgon could no longer tolerate Shandong being messed up by the rebels. He mobilized troops from the capital again to move south, and Xie Qian's army would also usher in a moment of his life and death.
