From the seventh day of the Lunar New Year to the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Ning and these fierce generals discussed continuously, and the topics mainly revolved around the black ~щww~~lā

The few people present were not only the remnants of the Black Scale Battalion, but also the soldiers who were the first to join the Black Scale Battalion when Qi Jing was training. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Jing set up the Black Scale Battalion back then, although it was only a thousand people, but the sources of soldiers were varied, some were soldiers from the Qi family's hometown, and some were brave men drawn from other armies by Qi Jing, and even a small number of them were originally from the Jianghu family.

Qi Ning learned in detail about the process of the Black Scale Battalion from being unknown to Megatron from these people, and the most important thing to understand was the process of Qi Jing's training of the Black Scale Battalion.

Everyone, you say a paragraph, I will say a paragraph, and gradually a clear outline was formed in Qi Ning's mind.

In fact, with the appearance of these people, Qi Ning didn't have to worry about the source of troops at all.

These people are from the Black Scale Battalion, and they are well aware of the harsh conditions for the selection of the Black Scale Battalion, and the few people present are almost all military attaches who command the soldiers and horses, and there are hundreds of soldiers under the least command, they have been secretly careful before this, and carefully selected people among the soldiers under their command, and only these generals present are enough to bring more than 100 soldiers who fully meet the selection conditions of the Black Scale Battalion.

According to what Duan Canghai said, most of the dozens of people left in the Black Scale Battalion can come back to serve, each of them will report a few names and hand them over to Qi Ning, and then Qi Ning will ask for someone from the military department, which is really not a difficult thing.

After all, Qi Ning, as a brocade waiter, was ordered to train soldiers, and some soldiers were drawn from various soldiers and horses, and he did not dare to offend Qi Ning or even resist the order because of this.

Qi Ning knows very well that a good general is not how to do things, but can make the best use of people, since these people know everything about the Black Scale Battalion, Qi Ning asked Duan Canghai to preside over the initial construction of the Black Scale Battalion, and the other generals will assist, but if there is any problem, he will come forward himself.

One thing Qi Ning knew that the little emperor's purpose in letting him rebuild the Black Scale Camp was nothing more than hoping to have a force of soldiers and horses that could be dispatched by the emperor at any time.

The emperor sometimes has a word and a thought that can determine the success or failure of a family.

Although the little emperor does not have the ability to make decisions at the moment, his thoughts still give Qi Ning the opportunity to enter the military substantially and have a foundation based on the court.

Of course, Qi Ning knew that it didn't matter if he couldn't train an elite army, after all, Duan Canghai, a group of black-scaled veterans, was fully capable of training such an elite army, and the most important thing for him was to control this army in his hands.

Duan Canghai was loyal to the Qi family, and handing over the substantive task of rebuilding the Black Scale Camp to this person would not only make this person even more grateful to him, but also indeed serve the purpose of completely controlling the Black Scale Camp.

In the eyes of Duan Canghai and others, the little marquis was able to win the task of rebuilding the black scale battalion from the court, which was already a great achievement, but the little marquis was young after all, and he had never been in the army for half a day, after all, training was a real chore, but it was not a matter of using his mouth to train elite soldiers, so everyone was actually a little apprehensive in their hearts, and the most worried thing was that Qi Ning was young and unqualified, and he couldn't bear the hardships, and everyone had a thought in their hearts that they didn't dare to reveal a word, that is, they were worried about outsiders interfering with insiders.

However, Qi Ning very decisively handed over the training task of the Black Scale Battalion to Duan Canghai, which really surprised everyone, but also admired Qi Ning's open-mindedness.

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, someone sent a post, and after Qi Ning opened it, he read it once, and realized that it was the invitation letter sent by Zhuo Qingyang to the Jinghua Book Club.

Only then did Qi Ning remember that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was also a literary event in Da Chu.

Although the invitation letter was sent by Zhuo Qingyang, it was not written by Zhuo Qingyang, but stamped with the official seal of the Ministry of Rites, and Qi Ning knew that this was Zhuo Qingyang's direct invitation letter from the Ministry of Rites.

Qi Ning has a general understanding of the Jinghua Book Club from Xiao Yao's mouth, and knows that the Jinghua Book Club is held every year, and the date is set on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first month.

It's just that over the years, although Qionglin Academy has participated in the Jinghua Book Club, it is just a foil, and the real competition has always been among the eight academies, and the eight academies attach great importance to the Jinghua Book Club.

Winning the championship is not only famous, but also can get the emperor's imperial approval, and the court can also select talents from them to enter the court and train as officials.

Qi Ning is not very interested in the fight of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he made a bet with Jiang Suiyun before, but he had to cash it out at the book club.

Qi Ning claimed that he could fly into the sky without wings, but Jiang Suiyun immediately grabbed the handle and made a bet with Qi Ning, and pretended to be generous, leaving Qi Ning two months to see the high and low in the academy competition.

At that time, Qi Ning only thought that the so-called academy competition was just an internal competition of Qionglin Academy, and later learned that the so-called academy competition was the Jinghua Book Club in which the nine academies participated.

The Jinghua Book Club is full of literati and artists, and the number of people who participate in the book club is not one thousand but eight hundred, Jiang Suiyun deliberately set the date on that day, obviously to let everyone see the joke in public.

This time, the Jinghua Book Fair will be held at Longchi Academy.

Qi Ning took the time to visit Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao has actually been preparing for the book club for a while, and Qi Ning learned from Xiao Yao that among the nine academies in the capital, the reputation of this Longchi Academy is second only to Yunshan Academy.

Yunshan Academy is the largest academy in the capital, in the early years of the Jinghua Book Club, Yunshan Academy won the championship in a row, dominating the leader, and there are not a few officials who came out of Yunshan Academy, but Longchi Academy sprung up in the past few years, won the crown for three consecutive years, and its reputation was prominent.

It stands to reason that if it is to ensure fairness, the Jinghua Book Club should be held in turn in the nine academies, but every year, the Jinghua Book Fair, not only the students of the nine academies participate, but also many literati who came from other places to look at the competition objectively, the academies are too small to accommodate so many people, among the nine academies, only Yunshan Academy and Longchi Academy have a large space to accommodate, so for a long time, the Jinghua Book Club has been held in these two academies in turn.

After all, once the academy wins, according to the traditional rules, the imperial court will select a few people from it to delegate official experience, which has also become a common rule, but if you can't compete for the crown, the students of the academy are outstanding, and they can amaze the four on the competition, but they also have a good chance to be valued and appointed by the imperial court.

Although this situation is rare, it is not uncommon, since the Jinghua Book Club has been held, there are also ** people who have failed to win the championship in the academy to which they belong, but they are extremely good, so they have been promoted and appointed by the imperial court.

In fact, there are really not a few literati and ink writers who rushed to the capital to watch the event, because the venue is in Longchi Academy, so before the fifteenth day of the first month, the inn near Longchi Academy is already full, and at night, the business on the Qinhuai River is also more hot, and it is really prosperous.

Several streets near Longchi Academy and both sides of the Qinhuai River, come and go are all kinds of talents, some have lived for several days, and some have just arrived day and night, not the sound of old friends seeing each other, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers,

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, as soon as the sky was bright, the inns around Longchi Academy were already brightly lit, and the literati who came from all over the country got up early and went to Longchi Academy one after another, and sent teams at the main gate of Longchi Academy, many of whom were frequent visitors who had watched several events, and knew the rules here.

Longchi Academy as the second largest academy in the capital, the scale of the academy is indeed not small, and in order to prepare for the book meeting, Longchi Academy up and down has also made a lot of effort, the competition venue is located in the east courtyard of Longchi Academy, the terrain here is open, the area is very large, it does not seem to be crowded to accommodate 1,800 people, there is a rockery at each corner, and there is a circle of bamboo around the courtyard wall, and the scenery is not bad.

Many of the people who came to watch the battle knew that if they could be at the front of the line and enter the academy early, they would be able to occupy some vantage points to watch.

Qi Ning had already agreed with Qionglin Academy in advance that he would go directly to Longchi Academy to meet, and when he arrived at Longchi Academy, the main gate of the academy had been opened, and the literati of the party had already begun to go to the academy one by one, and they were not slow.

Seeing that there were only sixty or seventy people queuing up in front of him, and the degree of entry was very fast, after Qi Ning bolted the horse, he simply did not enter the door directly, followed the line, and arrived at the front of the academy, and saw the three people sitting behind a long table, and a large wooden box was placed next to the table. Do you understand the rules? ”

"Rules?" Qi Ning glanced at the wooden box, the silver light was dazzling, it was all broken silver, and frowned: "Didn't you say that you want to get the silver when you go in?" ”

"Nonsense." The man sitting at the table glared, "What silver is not silver, this is a canteen donation, you enter the academy, don't you want a number plate?" Do you want to eat and drink water at noon? Stretched out his hand and found a boxy piece of paper from the hand of the person on the side, with six seven or nine written on it, and said to Qi Ning: "This is a number plate, do you use it?" ”
