In a huge and large cadre dynasty, there must be talents, and there will definitely be no shortage of talented talents, and the key issue for Zhao Junsheng is how to discover, cultivate, and use them.

Why has Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty been pressed and beaten by the Northern Dynasty and has been passive militarily? In addition to the lack of cavalry in the Southern Dynasties, it was also due to the long-term lack of talents with military command talents in the Southern Dynasties.

Originally, there were, such as Zhi Yanzhi and Tan Daoji, who were enough to be the commander of one party, but the emperor and the ministers of the Southern Dynasty were so suspicious of them that these two were executed one after another, and even Pei Fangming, a person who had just revealed his military commanding talent, could not tolerate it, and the ruler of the Southern Dynasty was tantamount to cutting off his arm and destroying the Great Wall.

Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, and Xue Andu were the first to follow Zhao Junsheng, they were originally the children of the down-and-out military family, in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, their families had completely declined, and the Northern Wei Dynasty did not need them at all, they had to do heavy soldiers in order to make a living, if it were not for Zhao Junsheng to take them to kill a way out of life and open up a situation, they were afraid that they would never have imagined that they would achieve such an achievement today.

Zhao Junsheng believed that they would not betray, but they still put the interests of the family first, and in the process of governing the army, they involuntarily had some selfish intentions to appoint private individuals and take care of their relatives when conditions permitted.

Zhao Junsheng can't punish them for this kind of thing, anyone has selfishness, this is a normal phenomenon, but it is precisely because of this normal phenomenon that the mountains in the army have been erected over time, and the military family has gradually formed, relatives, friends, marriages, and brothers-in-law will help each other when recording military merits, military post transfers, and promotions.

Zhao Junsheng discovered this phenomenon very early, but he didn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it, fortunately, this situation is not serious, the first to follow Zhao Junsheng in the army, the number of thousands of children from ordinary civilian families has now become the backbone of the army, some of them have become generals, some have become generals, team officers and tooth masters.

It was the existence of these people that delayed the formation of the military family, and caused a lot of obstacles to the erection of the military mountain, and the leading generals could not find a suitable position for a long time if they wanted to place their relatives, family members, and friends in the army.

But this could not really prevent the formation of a military family, Zhao Junsheng thought about it a lot, and finally let him find a feasible way: open martial arts, establish military studies, and build military academies.

However, the military academy and the military academy have not yet begun to be implemented, and this idea is still only brewing in Zhao Junsheng's mind.

There are 25 people on the list of this martial arts scientific examination, and these people have all achieved the name of martial arts, but they have not yet been ranked, and they still have to go through several rounds of competitions until the ranking is decided.

These twenty-five warriors on the list, regardless of their final ranking, will be awarded military ranks, and the positions will not be lower.

After a two-day break, the martial arts hall test was held, this time the venue of the big competition was set up in the royal martial arts field, presided over by Zhao Junsheng himself, and only the ministers of the imperial court, the military generals in the army, the envoys of foreign vassals, and invited celebrities were able to watch the battle.

According to the rules formulated by Zhao Junsheng himself, the first round of riding shooting, this time not to shoot a fixed target, but to shoot a flying saucer, the flying saucer is also painted with the number of rings, according to the number of flying saucers shot, if the number of flying saucers shot is the same, it is more than the number of rings hit!

The purpose of the first round of riding and archery is not to eliminate, but to group for the second round, with the top 12 in group A and the bottom 13 in group B.

The territory of the royal martial arts arena is not small, the size of four football fields, and the Praetorian Guards also practice here on weekdays, and there are spectator stands around, and sometimes the eunuchs and palace maids will also be organized by the eunuchs in the palace to move here.

The weather was a little cold today, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan came late with their children, and the audience ministers, military generals, foreign timers and invited celebrities who came to watch were all dressed thickly.

"Your Majesty, the hour has come!" Gao Xiu came over to report.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Then let's start!" ”

"Yes!"

Gao Xiu agreed, walked to the front of the main stand and shouted below: "Your Majesty's dictation: The first martial arts examination hall examination of Daqian has officially begun. In the first round, the riding and archery competition! This round is not only grouped for the second round, the top three winners will be awarded the title of Marksman! ”

Under the leadership of the examiner on the field, twenty-five warriors lined up in two teams to the side of the martial arts arena, two soldiers carried a large box, the middle of the box was opened, and twenty-five paper balls were placed inside.

Hua Mulan asked, "By the way, didn't the envoys of Tuyuhun and Beiliang send warriors to participate in the imperial examination last time?" Did any of the samurai they sent make it to the list as a samurai? ”

Gao Xiu bowed down and replied: "Tuyuhun sent three warriors, all of whom were eliminated before that, Beiliang sent five warriors, and one warrior named Nayan was on the list, and all the others were eliminated!" ”

Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng, "Brother Junsheng, you are lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, this Beiliang warrior named Nayan is on the list, and he has been selected as a martial artist, according to the regulations, the Ministry of War will appoint him to serve as an official in the army, and let an outsider be a military attache in my big cadre army, and some of the secrets of training methods and tactical drills in the army are likely to be leaked out."

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I think you are too worried, as long as he enters my army, he will not be able to control him in the future!" Even if it is a foreigner of a different race, as long as he is talented and willing to work for my great cadre, we can accept and entrust him with important tasks! ”

Some people say that the reason why the situation of the middle and late Tang Dynasty caused the division of feudal towns was because of the large number of foreign generals, but in fact this was not the real reason, the land annexation caused the decline of the Juntian system and the government military system, which caused the Tang Dynasty's internal troops to be weak, the garrisons in the border areas were strong, and some reasons in the central politics of the Tang Dynasty formed a situation of feudal town separation.

Therefore, it is not terrible to use foreign generals, there were many foreign generals in the early Tang Dynasty, such as Zhizhi Sili, Heizhi Changzhi, Ashina Dur, Qibi He Li, Ashina Xian, and Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Hun Xuan, these foreign famous generals also appeared in the Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty.

These foreign generals all made great contributions to the expansion and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the Tang Dynasty was not thin on them, and there were all kinds of rewards for high-ranking officials and good land. Among them, Qibi He Li and Ashinadur also wrote a letter after the death of Tang Taizong to strongly request his burial, and his loyalty and courage are rare in the world.

As he was talking, the field had already begun, and Gao Xiu quickly got the list of the order to play, and he introduced to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan and others: "The first one to play is called Wang Chong, a native of Jinyang, twenty-two years old this year, six feet and one inch tall."

Zhao Junsheng and the others looked at the field, the young man riding the horse was slender, his arms were powerful, his riding skills were exquisite, and he drew the bow effortlessly, and at the other end of the shooting range, there were constantly soldiers throwing flying saucers into the sky, only to see that the young man named Wang Chong kept opening his bow and releasing arrows, and in a short period of time, thirty arrows were shot, but this person was not red or panting, and he looked very relaxed.

In ancient Chu State, there was a person named Yang Youji, who had the ability to wear Yang in a hundred steps, and those who watched him shoot arrows were appreciative, but one person said that Yang Youji could follow him to learn archery, what does this mean? It means that the archery skills of Yang Yuji have just started, this person said that Yang Youji is only accurate in archery, but he will not be able to regulate the method of breathing and nourishing qi, only a few arrows will be weak, others scoffed at this person's words, but this person asked Yang Yuji to shoot a few more arrows to try, sure enough, Yang Youji shot a few arrows quite accurately, and then it became more and more bad, even the bow could not be pulled, and the archery on horseback was even worse.

It can be seen that this Wang Chong's archery skills are still very exquisite, not only accurate archery, but also breathing and nourishing qi, and it is effortless to shoot a pot of arrows.

The audience only saw his relaxed and graceful posture of riding a horse and archery, and they couldn't help but applaud.

After Wang Chong finished shooting, the examiners began to count the results, and after the soldiers in the distance collected the flying saucers that were hit and those that were not hit, Wang Chong's results soon came out: thirty flying saucers were thrown, and twenty-one were hit.

This result amazed many in the stands, and this was not a fixed target, but a skeet on horseback.

Zhao Junsheng asked Mulan: "Mulan, what do you think of this achievement?" ”

"It's already very good to be able to shoot flying saucers to hit twenty-one, at least it has entered the realm of 'Arrows with Heart'"

Next, the warriors took the stage one after another, showing their stunts to the audience.

Niu Dali's archery skills can only be regarded as average, and only eight of the thirty flying saucers have been shot, which belongs to the bottom level.

When it was Su Ji's turn, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but sit upright, and when Mulan saw him like this, she asked, "Why, Brother Junsheng takes a fancy to him very much?" ”

"Isn't it amazing that he didn't have a master or a good family background, and as a civilian, he relied on his talent and hard work in the army to become the master of the tooth, and he was admitted to the martial arts. He has not only been able to get to this point because of his talent and hard work, but also because of good luck! Luck is a very important thing sometimes! ”

"If it were you, you didn't have a family tradition of martial arts, you didn't have the identity of Uncle Hua, and you entered the army as a tabula rasa, could you come to his point?" Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Mulan and asked.

Hua Mulan thought about it, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's impossible!" ”

"Your Majesty, Su Ji's results are out, and all thirty flying saucers have been shot, two hundred and ninety-eight rings!"

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and the people around them were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"Shhh
