For example, this year, the beacon fires and wolf smoke, military disasters and man-made disasters, but it could not stop them from longing for Beijing. www.biquge.info In this year's scientific examination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are still 5,000 people taking the exam.

So how many people are there in the self-ugly scientific expedition of the Fu Han Army?

Chen Hui learned enough of the Manchu Dynasty in the imperial examination system, and would take three examinations, each of which lasted three days. Students should bring their own dry food and water materials, which will be provided by the examination institute. There are a thousand examination sheds in the examination hall, but the ones that are really useful are barely more than half. And among these 500 or so people, there are thirteen who are really elevated! those who have the status of showman, eighty-six people; The remaining 400 or so are all 'readers' who are not talented people. There are more than 150 people from the account room, and there are also children from children, and even those who write letters at the gate of the temple, and there are 35 people who are over 50 years old, and the oldest is 55 years old. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in this era when the average life expectancy could not exceed forty, fifty-five years old was already the age when the loess was buried in the neck. [Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the average life expectancy of China's population was 39 years for men and 42 years for women, but it was definitely affected by the war. During the Qianlong period, the average life expectancy before the Han Army rose to the brim should have been more than 40 years old, right? No one can say. This thing...... Too much uncertainty]

Although the official position of the Jinshi in the military examination of the Fu Han Dynasty has been promoted, there has been no change in some fundamental systems, such as the division of departments.

Among the more than 500 candidates, nearly 60 percent were in politics, one-third were in law and arithmetic, and only one-twentieth was in engineering.

When Chen Ming finished patrolling the border and returned to Lushan, the second session of this trial was not over yet, but Chen Ming went to see his father and came back, and Wang Huizu and others had already prepared a list for him to see.

The list is drawn in the form of a tree-shaped relationship table, and it is clear at a glance who those students have a relationship with.

Then there is the second list, which is a list of students attached to Chen Ming himself, including those who have the relationship between Chen Ming's military and political officials, and some people who have arrived in Lushan and have stubbornly sent to the Lu Mansion. Chen Ming saw a lot of familiar names on this list, as well as some unfamiliar names.

"What is Zhou Tiancai doing this time?" Liu Dezhao's name card was given to him, the brother-in-law of Qiu Jiashan of the Wuchang Police Station.

"Your Royal Highness, Zhou Tiancai's character Shiying is a talent in the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong in Wuchang Mansion."

"Reply to him. Let him rest assured that he will take the exam later. Chen Ming dropped this list, and in the near future, all the people on this list will be on the list, and he counted them, and there were about thirty of them. And as far as he knows, the number of people his father is going to admit this time will be as high as more than 300, even those who are famous in Sun Shan, he will receive one or two of them, as long as these people are willing, he will send them all to the cadre school.

Chen Ming can't care about this, anyway, it's all a sale, and he will sell it. This is related to how many of the admitted people are really capable, Chen Ming doesn't care at all, and when he decides to give in to the scientific examination, he realizes what this scientific examination will become.

Not to mention how excited Zhou Tiancai, who returned to his residence after the second end, saw the reply from the Lu Mansion, and said that after Chen Ming returned to Lushan, a large number of troops had already assembled on the edge of Lushan under the issuance of orders one after another.

Chen Qiti's instructor one, Chen Yongsheng's first division, Shi Mengti's guard brigade, as well as artillery, cavalry, logistics troops, etc., with a total strength of 30,000 people. This force would also gather part of the 4th Division in Xiangyang as it moved south. In Xiangyang, the troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Chen Qi, and was limited to the instructor's troops, from Xiangyang to the west to Yunyang, and then to attack southern Shaanxi; Chen Ming led a large army to continue south, and when he entered Anlu Mansion, he was divided into two, and Chen Yongsheng led part of the first division south to Wuchang, and then entered Yueyang along the river. It can be regarded as a precursor to the next step of the Hunan strategy of the Fu Han Army. Chen Ming led the rest of his troops directly south into Jingzhou, then marched west down the river, and after converging with Gao Qiao's troops on the Zhijiang River, he launched an attack on Yichang and Shinan.

Originally, Chen Ming's plan was to solve the problem of western Hubei before the autumn, but the work of the military merit field took too long, and now it is almost August. All he could do was change autumn to winter. Solve the problem of western Hubei and Hanzhong!

After the defeat in the Hubei battlefield, Qianlong was not in a hurry to transfer all the troops from Sichuan to Yichang, and the Sichuan soldiers and Sichuan Minyong gathered in Kuizhou Mansion, but they just did not take a step forward in Hubei. On the contrary, they wantonly set up wooden rafts in the Three Gorges waterway, set up hidden piles, and set up camps and stone barricades on the rugged and difficult mountain roads, looking like they could not defend it.

Chen Ming had no worries about seizing Yichang and Shinan, and the Qing army was so hesitant to move forward, it was obvious that they had given up on western Hubei. What Qianlong wants to ensure now is the safety of Sichuan, and gather the Sichuan soldiers and Sichuan people who have suffered heavy losses to Kuizhou, but do not add a single soldier to the empty two prefectures in western Hubei.

According to the secret camp investigation, in the past two or three months, the militia groups that had already been formed in western Hubei, especially the militia formed by the wealthy Yichang Prefecture, had exceeded the 4,000 mark. Yichang had sent a militia to Jingzhou before, and after that, the government and the gentry and eunuchs who stood up could also organize four thousand militias, and Yichang's wealth could be seen. The money and grain that the government took the opportunity to scrape from the hands of the local big merchants was definitely astronomical. However, after the Sichuan soldiers and the people stopped at Kuizhou Mansion, and after the Sichuan soldiers and soldiers obviously wanted to cut off the water and land passage between them and Hubei, Yichang's morale was greatly depressed, and the people were scattered, and the local families also fled to Sichuan or Hunan.

-- Shi Nan Mansion, is the gathering place of the Tujia people, Yongzheng years to change the land and return to the stream.

Now Yichang and Shi Nan are the ripe fruits, just waiting for Chen Ming to pick them.

Gao Qiao of Zhijiang has already made a break to Chen Ming more than once, especially the one in June, Gao Qiao said that he does not need soldiers, as long as he comes to the three or five thousand logistics troops, can bluff the people with swords and guns, and can level the town, he can flatten the western Hubei.

In this attack on western Hubei, Chen Ming led only 10,000 troops, a guard brigade and a cavalry unit of several hundred people were veterans of the Fu Han army, and the rest were the 15th brigade and logistics troops led by Zhao Yongji. This 15 th Brigade was originally a unit formed with the surrendered Qing soldiers and people in Xiangyang City as the main force, with a total strength of more than 5,000 troops. Chen Ming understood their worries, but 'eating' was still determined to eat, there could be large and small hills in the entire Fu Han army, but such a sensitive team as the 15th Brigade could only integrate into the Fu Han army and then seek its own small hills, instead of maintaining the pattern of small hills and merging into the Fu Han army.

Zhao Yongji still had brains, resolutely carried out the order, and pressed his officers to complete the reorganization of the Fuhan Army.

Chen Ming gathered his troops in Lushan, and the military order was also sent to Xiangyang.

……

Ranshipan Village, 013 military village.

Gone are the dilapidated villages of two years ago, as if the loess adobe thatched houses had never appeared on the land, and at the foot of the mountains, tall and sturdy brick houses have been replaced.

That's what changed in two years.

For these military-affiliated villages, two years is enough time for these dozens of military families to move from poverty to well-off, after all, Lushan has not suffered disasters or disasters in the past two years. Dozens of acres of land belonging to their own family, with the hard work of the people in this era, it is strange that they can still be hungry.

What's more, bricks are also cheap, and there are special discounts for military families, so in the past two years, new houses have been built in the village one after another. The Construction Bureau has a team dedicated to this. In the dilapidated village, the people who had no money left over are now a beautiful life to live and work in peace and contentment.

Jiang Wei is a person from this military-affiliated village, and when he was led to the 013 military-affiliated village, it was dusk.

The fireball-like sunset finally rolled down behind the mountain, and the sunset collected the last of her afterglow. The sunset in the sky was changing from crimson to pink, and wisps of smoke rose from the military village, and there were a few dogs barking and roosters. Jiang Wei fell in love with it at first sight.

It is true that he is from Lushan, but he has never heard of Ranshipan Village, and his relatives moved into the 013 military village in the third batch after Jiang Wei followed the troops south, so this time Jiang Wei returned to his hometown to visit relatives, which was the first time he went to the 013 military village.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Wei's guards had already arrived this afternoon, and they would accompany Jiang Wei back to the army tomorrow.

Jiang Wei has a younger brother, two sisters, and three younger siblings are married, he is out of the war, and his share of the land that belongs to him is planted by his father and his brother, anyway, the Jiang family is not separated.

After Jiang Wei became a battalion officer, the military merit field allocated to his family had accumulated to 60 mu, which was the number one in the entire military village. And this time the military merit exchange, Jiang Wei brought back 350 acres of land to his family, although in which direction Macheng is and how far away it is from Lushan, Father Jiang doesn't know at all. The two-year campaign also made Jiang Wei bring a heavy jujube box when he went home, and as for what was hidden inside, only the Jiang family knew it.

The son is very valuable as a soldier, and a few hundred acres of land is a beautiful thing that Father Jiang couldn't have imagined two years ago. But Father Jiang and Jiang Weiniang looked at the scars on their eldest son's body and legs, and their tears kept popping.

"Dad, you don't want to be a soldier. Our family has hundreds of acres of land, which is enough for us to eat. You don't want to be a soldier, okay? Jiang Wei's eight-year-old son hugged his father's retreat, and said that tears were gone.

Jiang Wei's voice of the child who hadn't seen his father for two years was also very uncomfortable, and he hugged his son tightly in his arms, Jiang Wei's eyes were also red: "Tie Niu, my father doesn't want to leave home." But Dad can't do that. ”

"Our land was brought by my father's war, if my father doesn't fight, and hundreds of people like my father don't fight, the Manchu Tartars will come back and take away all our land and our grain again. Kill your father, your grandparents, your uncle, your mother, your aunt, your brothers and sisters. Do you think dad can still stop fighting? ”

"Dad fights for our family, for our land, so that you will not be bullied in the future. In order to let your grandparents, let you, your younger brothers and sisters, your uncle, your aunt, and your mother, all eat well and dress warmly, and live a happy life......" (To be continued.) )
