The second opening of the Shengguo has ended, and the examiner Xu Xiangguang led the two deputy examiners Xu Youren and Li Shanlan to report the results. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Holy King, this imperial examination, from the initial examination in the state capital to the re-examination in the provincial capital, a total of 2,354 people were selected. There are 2,267 students in Chinese disciplines and 87 students in other Western disciplines, with Guangzhou accounting for nearly half. Xu Xiangguang reported.

When Feng Yunshan heard this, he was speechless. There is really no market for Western studies in China, so you have to cultivate it yourself.

"Qing Demon Ruling Area, can anyone come to my Holy Country Jurisdiction to participate in the imperial examination?" Feng Yunshan asked suddenly.

"Back to the Holy King, there is. However, there are not many, but there are hundreds of people from Shanghi and Zheqi who went to Qixi and Fujian to participate in the imperial examination of the Holy Country. Others, such as Mubei, Jiangsu and Anhui, also have people who have signed up within the scope of the Holy Country. Now, our holy kingdom has sat on the land of five provinces, and those who read naturally know how to choose. Xu Xiangguang said with some pride.

He was actually more glad for his original decision, although he was a little afraid of death at the time, and he surrendered to the Holy Kingdom in order to protect the Xu family, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed his wisest choice!

Feng Yunshan said to the three people: "Everyone has worked hard! He also asked Xie Xiangcai, vice minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to invite him, and asked him to discuss with Xu Xiangguang and others how to place these candidates.

Seeing Xu Youren and Li Shanlan, he left them behind for questioning.

Xu Youren, as the deputy governor of the central bank and the only full-time deputy governor, reported to Feng Yunshan that the central bank of the Holy Kingdom was ready to officially start issuing the Holy Kingdom's own currency in three days. The central bank has set up a head office and four first-class branches in five provinces, and all five banks have their own mints, which can directly mint coins nearby and accept banking services to put the currency of the holy country on the market.

Li Shanlan gave a report on the teaching situation at the Whampoa Military Academy.

To tell the truth, Feng Yunshan, as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy and the representative of the Revival Association, only occasionally went to the Whampoa Military Academy, and he usually didn't have time to pay attention to it. The main work of the military academy still relies on Li Shanlan to grasp it.

The first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, Feng Yunshan was originally scheduled for one year, but because of the rapid expansion of the Holy Kingdom, there was a great shortage of literate personnel among the grassroots officers in the captive army, so Feng Yunshan asked Li Shanlan to increase the density of courses in peacetime, and strive for the first batch of cadets to complete as soon as possible and devote themselves to the captive army as soon as possible.

Feng Yunshan thought that after a series of education at the Whampoa Military Academy, this group of students not only had a significant improvement in their military skills, but most importantly, their loyalty to themselves was very reliable.

For this group of students of the Whampoa Military Academy, Feng Yunshan regarded them as seeds sown by his own hands and planted them in various departments of the army, and once they blossomed and bore fruit, they would bring him a large harvest of fruitful fruits. At the beginning, the bald head of later generations became the principal of that famous military school, and there were a large number of generals who grew up from military academy graduates and were loyal to him. Feng Yunshan actually followed Chang Kaishen's approach, which was simple and effective.

"Shengwang, the first batch of cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy, the training is 10 months, the initial schedule is the end of February, that is, the day after tomorrow, the first batch of cadets will be completed, and the second batch of cadets will be recruited at the same time, ready to start on the first day of March. Look, Holy King? Li Shanlan was not very good at words, and clumsily made an invitation.

"Well, speaking of which, it's indeed time for the first phase of Huangpu to graduate. Time flies! Feng Yunshan sighed a little, remembering that when the construction of the Whampoa Military Academy opened, it seemed that it was just yesterday, and in a flash, he was about to graduate.

"Principal Li, as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, this king will definitely go to attend the graduation ceremony of the first batch of cadets, this king wants to see these ladies of the holy country, learn something, enter the army to conquer the army, and create a new world for the holy country and the king! Mr. Wang, you adjust the arrangement of this king, and the day after tomorrow, this king will go to attend the graduation ceremony of the first phase of Whampoa. Feng Yunshan turned his head and instructed Wang Minyun to arrange his own itinerary.

On the third day, when it was almost noon, Feng Yunshan, accompanied by everyone, came to the Whampoa Military Academy on Changzhou Island.

Before entering the gate, Li Shanlan, executive vice president of the military academy, Xu Xiangguang, vice president, Cui Datong, director of the teaching department, Bai Huihuai, director of the political department, Xu Shou and Hua Yufang, instructors of Western studies, were already outside the gate to greet them.

Li Shanlan and Xu Xiangguang took the lead and welcomed Feng Yunshan into the military academy.

Only after entering the school gate, a wide cement pavement is spread straight out, neat and clean, and there are kapok planted on both sides, which is blooming brightly, like a famous university in later generations. Feng Yunshan nodded secretly.

After walking dozens of steps, I saw two rows of students standing neatly on both sides of the road, all of them energetic, tall and powerful, wearing dark green military uniforms of the begging army, and a sense of slaughter arose spontaneously, which was very powerful.

Seeing Feng Yunshan passing by surrounded by Liu Shengbang and other palace guards and everyone, the Whampoa students on the roadside marched and saluted. When Feng Yunshan saw it, he set aside all the guards, stood out of the crowd, greeted the cadets of the military academy, and saluted, which made the cadets very excited, and shouted in unison: "Long live the Holy King!" ”

Feng Yunshan could only imitate the leaders of later generations, and shouted: "The soldiers of the Whampoa Military Academy, you have worked hard!" The group of students cheered feverishly again, shouting long live.

Feng Yunshan originally wanted to serve as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy in the first phase, so he stepped down from this position, and he didn't have so much time after all. But now seeing this scene, he can't help but extinguish this thought: this military school principal must also be grasped in his own hands.

finally got rid of the fanatical Whampoa cadets and came to the wide Shangwu Hall in the center of the military academy.

The audience was full of Whampoa students, 800 cadets, military academy instructors, and palace guards and escorts, and nearly 1,000 people stood in the Shangwu Hall, which was not too crowded.

Executive Vice President Li Shanlan came to the stage and said a few simple words, let everyone calm down, and stood in line by subject, and then invited Feng Yunshan to give a speech.

In the warm applause and fiery eyes, Feng Yunshan stepped onto the podium and began to speak: "The cadets of the first phase of the Huangpu Military Academy, the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom, ten months ago, this king was also here, together with you, to celebrate the opening of the military academy. Time flies, and today I am very happy to be able to participate in your graduation ceremony. ”

"From today on, the cadets of the first phase of Whampoa will leave the military academy and truly join the Chinese army to fight for the holy country and the Chinese people, to expel the Tatars and restore our China! Do you have faith? ”

"Yes! For the Holy Country, for the Holy King, fight endlessly, expel the Tartars, restore my China, and die! With Feng Yunshan's slight movement, all the students roared feverishly, and immediately pushed the entire Shangwu Hall to a boom, until Feng Yunshan pressed his hands weakly, and everyone quieted down and listened to the Holy King's speech.

"You students are the first elite of our Holy Kingdom's captive army, and this king has great hope and confidence in you with the responsibility of a strong captive army and a strong holy country. It has been nearly two years since the Holy Kingdom was founded. In the past two years, Wuri has not been in the fight with the Qing Demon.

Manchu and Qing demons, enslaving China, rotten, and miserable. Therefore this king will lead you to expel the Tartars and restore my China. But enthusiasm alone is not enough, we also have to practice our skills well, so that we can better and faster expel the Tartars and protect our Han people. ”

Feng Yunshan said that his mood also fluctuated, glanced at everyone in the audience, and then said: "A few days ago, this king had a dream! I dreamed that the decaying Manchu Qing ruled China, and the people were miserable, but they were wantonly bullied by the Western European powers, and several times they broke through the country like they did more than ten years ago, and those foreign soldiers slaughtered our people and plundered the wealth left by our ancestors, ** our sisters. The Qing demon groveled, and tens of thousands of sons and daughters of the common people rushed to kill thousands of foreign soldiers with big swords, but the whole army was wiped out and had no power to fight back. ”

"How sad it is!"
