While Zhao Ji was happily celebrating the victory, the Hedong Army of the Great Zhou Army, commanded by Li Xiaozhong and Wu Yiyong, had passed the bottle-shaped pass and entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.

Located on the west side of the Flying Fox Trail, the Bottle-shaped Pass used to be the Song-Liao borderland, and later fell into the hands of the Liao. After the Xijing Datong Mansion in the Liao State was attacked by the Jin soldiers. Bottle-shaped Guan and the entire Daizhou returned to the Great Song Dynasty under the leadership of Xiao Gan.

The four once-fallen state armies of Daizhou, Ninghua Army, Xinzhou and Xianzhou were merged to form and Dailu, and Xiao Gan served as the pacification envoy and Zhidaizhou on behalf of the road.

However, the road has not always been ruled by Xiao Gan. Over the past few years, the control of the Northern Song court has been increasing. After all, under the auspices of the "Zhou Affairs Sect Ji Zhongtang", the development of the Great Song New Army was very good, and there were more than 300,000 new troops capable of fighting. With Xiao Gan's little capital, he couldn't resist the attack of the new army of the Song army.

Therefore, in the seventh year of Xuanhe, only the governors of Daizhou, Xianzhou, and Xinzhou, the intellectuals of the Ninghua Army, and the soldiers and horses of the Dailu and the capital of the army, and the soldiers and horses of the first army of the three states were under the jurisdiction of Xiao Gan's people. Most of the rest of the official positions were held by officials appointed by the imperial court.

In other words, the road has now become a place jointly managed by the imperial court and Xiao Gan. Moreover, the power of the imperial court is quite strong - the general judgments and military participation of the state armies, the county magistrates, county orders, chief books, county lieutenants, and teachings of each county are all from the Great Song Dynasty!

In addition to these officials, the Great Song Dynasty also has another weapon to restrain Xiao Gan's power - the imperial examination!

That's right, it's the imperial examination!

The imperial examination is a powerful weapon to strengthen the centralization of power! Winning soldiers for the country and rising from the poor or something, is just a grandiose reason. What the emperor really values is actually the disarming of the people and the strengthening of the authority of the central government.

The former is very easy to understand, the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty mainly relied on Confucian classics, even if it was martial arts, it did not pay much attention to martial arts, and it didn't matter whether an arrow hit the target or not......

And the latter, it is not difficult to understand. In the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites and the Palace Examination had to go to Kaifeng Prefecture for the examination. Only local scholars who are not independent and loyal to the Great Song Dynasty are eligible to pass the liberation examination to get the opportunity to go to Kaifeng Mansion to take the imperial examination!

If there is a local rebellion, there will be no solution test to take. The landlord class intellectuals in this place lost the right to gain fame by passing examinations.

Therefore, the scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty who were disarmed and devoted themselves to the examination and seeking officials naturally had to turn their hearts to the imperial court and oppose all forms of rebellion......

The reason why Wu Haogu was able to establish a country in Yandi was mainly because it was originally the land of Liao. The landlord class intellectuals of the Liao State were not good at taking exams, and they could not pass the Jinshi of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Wu Haogu opened a university and a military academy in Tianjin, and opened two new lines for becoming an official.

So everyone went to be the officials of the republic, and they didn't mix with the Great Song Dynasty.

The Liangguo set up by the Western Sect is similar, where can a group of Northwest martial artists get into the Jinshi? It is still promising to follow the Zhang family to engage in Tianli Sect.

Although there are not many Jinshi who have been admitted to Hedong over the years, they are counted last among the various transfer envoys in the Northern Song Dynasty. But after all, it is not comparable to Yandi and Hexi...... There is a little bit in Hedong, Yandi and Hexi are not the land of the Song Dynasty at all, that is, there is no more!

Since Hedong is part of the imperial examination system of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, Hedong scholars and doctors also take the imperial examination high school as their first choice.

Of course, the scholars and doctors in Daizhou, Xianzhou, Xinzhou, and Ninghua were no exception, and they were all studying hard for the high school imperial examination.

And this year (the sixth year of Xuanhe) is the year of the triennial big competition, and after the three states and the first army have gone to Kaifeng Mansion for the examination with hope. And the scholars who did not win the promotion continued to work hard, studying hard for the liberation test more than two years later (if nothing else, it should be the first year of Jingkang).

Therefore, when Xiao Jingluo betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and the news spread that the Eastern Thieves and Zhou soldiers entered Yanmen (Daizhou Prefecture is Yanmen County), the mood of the scholars and doctors in various places on behalf of the road can be imagined......

Da Zhou is not a member of the imperial examination!

And the Great Zhou is said to have suppressed mergers and acquisitions, and the line is Juntian!

What is the best of now? If you don't pass the imperial examination, your family's land may be confiscated, so how will you live in the future?

But fortunately, although the Great Zhou Republic is a fatherless and monarchless country that does not know poetry and books, the discipline of the republican army is recognized as good. It is the real autumn who does not commit any crimes, and does not take a stitch from the people - they are citizens of the republic, dignified landlords, rich peasants, industrialists, and soldiers! What good things haven't you seen? Can you see the "stitch and thread" in a poor place like Daizhou?

Moreover, according to the previous style of the Republican Army, the land laid down must be cleared and then redistributed - to the meritorious soldiers and landless!

That is to say, the fields of the entire Daizhou will belong to others sooner or later, and not a single stitch or thread will be needed......

Whatever the reason, the military discipline of the Republican Army is notoriously good anyway, and it is not worthy of the name of "East Thief" at all. Therefore, some gentry from all over Daizhou, after the invasion of the Republican Army, did not flee immediately, but gathered in Yanmen, the state to listen to the news.

When they arrived in Yanmen County, they were immediately attracted by the content of the notices posted everywhere.

To their surprise, this notice not only mentioned "suppressing annexation" and "Xing Juntian", but also mentioned two good things that they did not expect - opening the imperial examination and not paying food!

"What? What the? East thief, oh, Da Zhou is also going to hold a release test? Or this year? ”

"Look, if you have the status of lifting people, you can be exempted from two taxes on 200 acres of land and exemption money, Ding kou money and other miscellaneous pies for a family of five...... Is this true? ”

"There are also food donors and donors here...... If you donate an official, you can shade 400 acres of land and a household of ten! I also have the opportunity to give a real job! If you donate, you can go directly to the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and it is valid for life, which is great! ”

"Is this true? Didn't you say that the Great Zhou Republic did not hold imperial examinations? ”

"How is it not true? In black and white, Anmin's notice, can this still be fake? In the past, there was no imperial examination, and that was because he did not enter the Central Plains. What kind of imperial examination is held in the barbarian land of Youyan in eastern Liaodong? Does anyone take the test? Now that the head of Xiaowu is determined to be in the world, of course, he must open a department and accept the hearts of scholars in the world! ”

"That's right! To rule the world, you have to be a scholar......"

"It's good now, you can take the big week release test soon......"

"If you don't pass the exam, you have to donate one, isn't it just to pay food? Staying at home is also moldy and insect-insect, so it's better to change your reputation! ”

A group of scholars and doctors who read Anmin's notice were boiling!

I thought that there would be no imperial examination when the Great Zhou came, but I didn't expect that people would also open a department to take scholars, and the conditions were thicker than those of the Song Dynasty. If you pass the exam, you will be promoted for life, and you can also enjoy tax exemption and exemption...... Taking the imperial examination and not paying food is a good thing that scholars and doctors can wake up with a smile in their dreams!

At this moment, suddenly an old cuo who went to Kaifeng Mansion to take the exam several times came to say.

"We are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the country is in trouble, we don't work hard, but rejoice because the thief opened the imperial examination, isn't it in vain to read the book of sages?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed disgusted expressions. But no one debated with him, but scattered. Don't you go home and think about whether your words and deeds are wrong? Instead, I went into the city to inquire about the news.

These scholars and doctors are all local snakes in Yanmen, and they have doors in the Yanmen County Ya and Daizhou Prefecture Yamen - the officials in the Yamen are all related to them.

Now that Daizhou's general judgment and joining the army, the magistrate, chief bookkeeper, and county lieutenant of Yanmen may have run away and died, but most of these officials have surrendered. Through them, you will be able to find the new master's hole cards......

At the same time, in the Zhizhou Yamen of Daizhou, Wu Yiyong, the chief military officer of the Hedong Army, was talking with several civilian officials wearing official uniforms of the Song Dynasty.

They are the general judgment of Daizhou, the magistrate of Yanmen, and the teachings of Daizhou, and the other is Hucao of Daizhou who joined the army. All of them have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and they have returned to the Great Zhou Republic!

The Great Zhou Republic is still different from the Liao State and the Jin State, and it is not a barbarian state.

No one can say that Wu Haogu and Wu Yijiu are not Han Chinese! Moreover, almost all the elders of the Great Zhou Republic were Han Chinese.

Since they are all Han Chinese, the Great Zhou, like the Great Song Dynasty, is the state of Zhuxia. Zhou destroyed the Song Dynasty, and it was not the end of the world.

The current situation is no different from Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, and he obtained Chai Zhou with the Great Song Dynasty.

How many loyal ministers were martyred after the Chenqiao Mutiny? Hardly, right? Since there was nothing that no one couldn't think about in the Song Dynasty and Zhou, what was there in the Song Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty now?

At most, it's the second thing...... The ancestors of the Zhao family are still plotting to usurp the throne! Big shouldn't!

“…… Although the lieutenant general can rest assured, as long as our imperial examination in Dazhou is opened, no matter how many scholars can be taken, the scholars here in Hedong will be happy. In fact, in the imperial examinations of Song thieves in previous years, the number of Hedong lifters was within the bottom three of the transfer envoys, and there were not a few jinshi at all. But a group of cuoda here in Hedong are still not happy to take the exam? There are not many people with lofty ideals who go to the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty! Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is open to Enke, how could they miss it? ”

The man who was talking was a green-robed Song Dynasty civil official, in his thirties, with a long white face and a flattering smile on his face.

This person's name is Wu Biaochen, a native of Wenzhou, and a three-year jinshi in Daguan. Now the official Bai Dai Prefecture is sentenced. When Xiao Ganju returned to Zhou, he led the civil officials of Daizhou to surrender. He was appointed as the governor of the state.

Today, Wu Yiyong called him and several other civil officials from Daizhou for two things; The first is to open a science and take a doctor! The second is to raise military rations and civilian workers.

These two things are actually one thing, the purpose is to raise enough military rations and the people to transport the grain, so that the Hedong Army can continue to move south.
