The strategy of the Tang Empire and the Tang Western Company in India was actually basically determined a few years ago, that is, to find a foothold first, gain a firm foothold in India first, and then try to conspire with others.

Later, after hooking up with the Spaniards, in order to trade with Europe, West Asia, North Africa and other regions, the Tang Western Company also established five or six supply ports outside Gehe Prefecture, which were actually developed when Ying Zihua led the fleet to explore westward in the early years.

It's just that the scale has never been large, and there is no ability to resist risks.

It would take a lot of money to build these small supply ports into real colonies, trade support points with India, West Asia, and Europe.

And this investment is not only about money and materials, but also about military power!

The establishment of such a colony in the Gohe Prefecture by the Tang Western Company has attracted great vigilance from the Portuguese, and for this reason, the two sides are still frequently fighting over the waters east of India.

But it is impossible for Datang Western Company to tie its hands and feet because of the reaction of the Portuguese!

Overseas colonization was originally a struggle with all parties, the empire fought with the Grape people in India, and it was also fought with the Portuguese in Southeast Asia.

The Portuguese now see India as their own back garden, but the empire also sees Southeast Asia as their back garden.

The Portuguese have been based in Malacca for many years, and have always wanted to expand in Southeast Asia, but they have failed for various reasons, especially in the Indosia Islands and the Philippine Islands, which are also known as the Banten Islands and Luzon Islands in the Empire, which were the focus of contention between the two sides in the early years.

But the empire relied on its geographical advantages: proximity to the mainland, and strong support.

Therefore, he won the competition for the above regions, successfully took the Luzon Islands, and at the same time established his own sphere of influence in the Banten Islands, controlled Banten Island, and opened trading stations and supply ports on many islands.

It can be said that the current empire has blocked the Portuguese in Malacca, and ordinary Portuguese merchant ships can travel to and from various seas in East Asia without hindrance, but if the Portuguese want to establish new colonies in these areas, then the empire will be attacked.

In India, it's the other way around!

At this time, several heads of the Tang Western Company in Gehe Prefecture did not know that the imperial side was already determined to start an all-out competition with the Portuguese, and even began to plan to attack Malacca.

At the same time, the navy also reached an agreement with the Datang Western Company, and the navy sold almost an entire detachment to the Datang Western Company, and the warships of this detachment are currently on the way, and it will not take long to reach the waters of the Indian Ocean, and then become a major help for the Datang Western Company to compete with the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean.

Overseas trade and the Portuguese, this chain of events was quite important to anyone who cared about the expansion of the empire overseas, always keeping an eye out for news from overseas.

But this kind of thing is really just a small thing for the empire.

A series of actions in the direction of India, almost no reports are made public in China, people only know that Datang Western Company is trading in India, and they also know that there is a Gehe state, but India's Gehe state is too far away from the mainland, far enough to make the vast majority of people in China stop.

This is also a true reflection of the internal and external affairs of the empire in the past two years, that is, internal affairs have been far more important than external affairs.

For example, the 10-year township test in Xuanping, which will be held this fall, has attracted far more attention than any Indian affairs.

This year's township examination is different from the township examination in previous years, because after the reform of the imperial examination that has lasted for many years, Li Xuan has also begun to carry out successive reforms of the township examination and even the government examination.

This year's township examination reform, the introduction of a very interesting improvement, that is, the provincial township examination will be combined with the enrollment of various universities, Li Xuan personally stipulates that the enrollment of various universities and normal schools needs to strictly refer to the students' township examination results, and those who do not meet the standards of the township examination are not allowed to apply for various universities, and only after reaching the relevant score points can they be eligible to apply for various universities and martial arts schools.

After that, the next step is to take the independent entrance examination for each university and teacher training school.

In this township examination, in terms of examination subjects, reference to the entrance examinations set by various universities, the Royal Institute of Technology, and the martial arts hall, and a unified examination was conducted, thus forming scriptures, strategy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, comprehensive biogeography, astronomy, and six arts.

Among them, scriptures and mathematics are key subjects, and the total score of each subject is 100 points.

Strategy, Physics, Chemistry and Comprehensive are first-class subjects, and the total score of each subject is 80.

The Six Arts is a second-class subject, with a total score of 60 points in a single subject, and the Six Arts of the Tang Dynasty are also different from the traditional Six Arts.

Because the six arts of ancient times are also somewhat out of step with the times today, according to the standards specified by the Imperial Examination Department of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, the six arts of the gentlemen of the new era of the Tang Dynasty are: etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and speech.

Needless to say, etiquette is also for etiquette, as the people of China, the state of etiquette, this etiquette must be valued.

Music, like traditional music, refers to music.

Archery, traditionally, refers to the technique of archery, but in the Tang Dynasty, the meaning of this archery is more extensive, including bow and arrow archery, gun archery, knife and swordsmanship, etc., candidates do not need to master all of them, but must master some of them.

Yu, the traditional is driving, but in Datang, it is a royal horse, to put it bluntly, it is a test of riding.

Words, this is meant to replace' The so-called dialect is actually dialects, including but not limited to the native dialects of the empire, overseas indigenous dialects, which need to be proficient in several at the same time, and at the same time pay more attention to Portuguese, Spanish and Latin, because of the above three, Latin is almost the common written language of the European upper class, and Portuguese and Spanish, which is naturally because the current two empires are currently in the world, the only two global colonial empires, can say that the sun never sets。

How can you better understand the enemy and defeat the enemy without knowing the enemy's language?

It's just that from the situation of the past many years, it is estimated that there are not many people who can take the examination in the six arts subjects this time, except for the two subjects of etiquette and music.

The total score of the above seven subjects is 580 points, and 400 points can be obtained to make a name for themselves.

If you want to apply for Guozijian University, Jinling University and other formal four-year universities, you need to make a name for yourself, in fact, you need to score more than 400 points, and to apply for the martial arts school, you need at least 450 points, that is to say, ordinary people are not good, and they have to be people with better grades to get off the mud post.

However, each school also has a small amount of independent enrollment power, which is not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, they can recruit students who are biased, and it is also possible to recruit the children of wealthy people who donate large amounts of wealth, and each school can control it by itself.

And this score is actually only the minimum standard, it just means that you have the qualifications to apply for the examination, and you have to take the entrance exam held by each school in the future, and only if you pass it can be considered as admitted.

If you are a clear-eyed person, then you can see it at a glance, in fact, this is the Datang version of the college entrance examination!
