Chapter 492: 10,000 Rush to the Exam
"Boom, boom!"
Suddenly, there was a roar from the west side of Singapore, as if it was firing a cannon into the air, and then a few big words appeared in the sky: "Warm celebration of the Holy City of Singapore joining the Kingdom of Heaven!"
There was also a faint mixture of cheers from everyone, and it turned out to be the Heavenly Navy of Sumatra, expressing their congratulations to Singapore!
It didn't take long for the bridge to Sumatra to be filled with a crowd of naval soldiers, as well as local Chinese and Han Chinese, and then other ethnic groups also came to the bridge on a large scale.
After all, in the middle of October, even in this country very close to the equator, there are not many fresh fruits, not to mention that there are many tropical fruits on the bridge, which are only suitable for temperate production.
The most interesting thing is that the big fish little Jonah, with his two companions, and thousands of various aquatic animals, also came to congratulate!
They line up in various formations, making different movements, like children celebrating a festival, clusters, groups, gathered at the exit of the Strait of Malacca.
I guess most of them don't know what this means, but when they see humans happy, they join in the fun, but the joy is absolutely real.
The celebration in the crowd and the fact that these aquatic animals joined in the fun really brought out the meaning of the universal celebration! Especially the children were the most elated, and all of them had a crazy time.
After a short time, they began to pick fruits from the trees and throw them to the fish in the water to eat, what fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs. They were all very fond of these fruits, and then the whales came running in.
It turned out that after these aquatic animals were subdued by little Jonah, they also changed their tastes, no longer eating meat, only eating aquatic plants and the like, this kind of seasonal fruit, of course, they have never eaten delicious.
At first, the adults scolded the children not to waste such a good fruit, lest they soon pluck the fruit from the tree, but they soon discovered that there was something even more amazing about this miraculous fruit tree, no matter how they picked it. It's always unclean!
Not only is it not clean. And there is no decrease!
After discovering this mystery, adults also participated in the madness of children, picking fruits and throwing them at their friends in the water, and even a young man with a very good water nature jumped directly into the water. He gave a large basket of fruit to little Jonah.
Little Jonah was overjoyed. Immediately upgrade that guy from a regular friend to a close friend. Hold him up with his nose and turn him in a big circle.
Mai Ke was having fun with the people, and he got carried away, and the third brother Feng Yunshan came with news. It is said that the preparation for the exam is ready, and the seven exam rooms have been prepared, and a total of 10,000 candidates have registered!
So much!
Mai Ke was taken aback, it turned out that he thought it would not exceed two or three thousand at most. How can there be so many?
According to statistics, there were 2,000 people in each of the three holy cities in the Qing Dynasty, and about half of them were residents of the original city, and the other half were famous from all over the world.
The two holy cities in Annam originally only had more than 1,000 people, but they didn't expect the people from Khmer and Lao Vortex to also flock to it, saying that they didn't have an examination room themselves, and they didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they ran to these two examination rooms.
As for who is counted after the entrance examination, they say that it doesn't matter at all, as long as they are in heaven.
It seems that the Holy City has not yet been established, and the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Now Mai Ke is still looking forward to this exam, 10,000 officials can directly hold leadership positions at all levels in the kingdom of heaven after passing the exam, can't there be a few outstanding and amazing talents?
Mai Ke asked some questions about the discipline and safety of the examination room, and learned that from this evening, the candidates had been isolated, and they were all living in a single tent specially prepared for them, surrounded by the armed forces minister of the Holy City in charge of security.
The next day's exam room will be more standardized, and the mayor of the Holy City will be present to proctolate the exam.
And the test questions are impossible to leak, except for the trio who formulated the test questions, no one in the world knows what the test is, or even the format of the test questions.
Therefore, that set of exam questions is still in the process of moving! It will be sent to all candidates one second before the exam tomorrow?
10,000 test takers, five test centers, one move and one family at the same time?
People can't do it, and the spirit rhino moves!
Not only did it distribute exam papers to multiple people in different locations, but they were also printed instantly, which until then only existed in the database.
Seeing that the exam was basically ready, Mai Ke left it alone, just waited for the exam results to be seen tomorrow afternoon, and then the day after tomorrow was the day when the full priesthood would be inaugurated.
There is one day left tomorrow, and these holy cities on land must be all ready, otherwise it will delay the journey the day after tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and led his 800,000 elephant soldiers, two guards, and a reorganized colonial army, also numbering 1,000 people, through the Johor Bridge, and returned to Johor.
When they arrived at the big bull who was guarding the new soldiers, they found that the big bull had already reorganized them.
Da Niu has been following Mike now, although his personality is still honest and loyal, his level has improved greatly, and the results of this unorganized new army are handed over to Mai Ke to see, and he immediately won Mai Ke's praise, and he feels that he can now stand alone.
What made Mai Ke happiest was that in the process of reorganizing these new soldiers, Da Niu preached the gospel to them, and two-thirds of them decided to believe in the Lord.
All the officers he appointed were Christians.
Da Niu did these things completely within his purview—in terms of position, he was equivalent to a commander of the front of the Heavenly Army, and in faith, he was one of the first Christians to decide to become a Christian, and he followed Mai Ketian for a long time, and his faith was very pure, and he was more than enough to be a military pastor.
Mai Ke's army increased by another thousand infantry, and these were all experienced veterans.
As for the Marat soldiers who had attacked Singara, Mai Ke talked to them in a communal manner, and told them the nature of the forces of the Heavenly Kingdom, that they were allowed to go or wander, and that if they wanted to go, they would meet in the future battlefield and that they would not be friends or foes, and if they stayed, they would have to hand over the wealth they had previously robbed in Nanga, and if they would not know the army of horses from now on, they could take all the looted and leave.
When Mai Ke said that he could stay, about half of the Malay soldiers were willing to stay, but when they heard that if they stayed, the plunder must be handed over, and half of what was left behind was gone; when it came time to hand over the property, there were still not half of the remaining people who did not hold on to the end, and retreated.
In the end, only one hundred and twenty-five people remained, and resolutely surrendered all their belongings and joined the expeditionary force.
Mai Ke had a high opinion of these people, and immediately absorbed them all into a teaching company, and the other integrated units that would be sent to the Malay soldiers in the future were all people who could withstand the temptation of material!
And once this teaching was established, it was a great achievement that night! (To be continued......
