Chapter Ninety-Three: The First Entrance Examination

After nearly five days of screening and distribution, the reorganization of the Praetorian Guard was completed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, Ao Bai was naturally awarded as the commander of the cavalry battalion, but the cavalry battalion has the least number of people, but it is the most elite.

And Fu Dahai also deservedly became the commander of the artillery battalion, this seems to be a little silly and the orphan of the poorest Ming martyrs, but he is a super scholar and can do it without putting on a show.

At the same time, John Tang also officially served as the commander of the artillery battalion, and Tongzhi was responsible for technical guidance.

Chang Yanling is the commander of the first infantry battalion and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, assisting Lu Xiangsheng in managing the whole army, of course, Zhu Youxiao also uses him to balance Lu Xiangsheng's meaning in the command of the army, but Chang Yanling is mainly responsible for the command of the three infantry battalions.

The commander of the other two infantry battalions was Lu Jiayu as the commander of the second infantry battalion, and Dong Yongwen, who was not very conspicuous at this time, was the commander of the third infantry battalion.

The commander of the engineer battalion is Liu Jiayin.

The commander of the baggage battalion was Qin Botong, with nearly 3,000 people, which was the largest battalion among the Praetorian Guard battalions, but the battle sequence was ranked last, and even only played the role of a reserve army.

But the current Qin Botong does not seem to be depressed because of this, and when he gives a speech to all the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion during the next special training, he directly said:

"Real people don't show their faces, the baggage battalion will be the baggage battalion, without our baggage battalion, what they eat, what do they use to fight with people, in addition, who said that our combat effectiveness is worse than them, from today on, all the officers and soldiers of the baggage battalion will train for half an hour more than other battalions, and train for ten miles, in short, we will compare him and let Your Majesty see who is the real trump card!"

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes!"

Qin Botong is full of anger now, and he can only temporarily suppress the unhappiness in his heart through this loud shouting.

However, different commanders still have different training methods.

Chang Yanling reorganized the soldiers again, let the soldiers with shooting talent each bring a relatively poor shooting level, and divided their infantry battalion into three teams, and each training is fixed the first team first, then the second team, then the third team, and then the first team, so that the reincarnation, when the first team shoots, the second team is filled with gunpowder, and the third team rests to cool the barrel.

This is a good habit, and when fighting in the future, as long as the first echelon of the infantry battalion does not collapse, there will be no riots in the two echelons behind.

The other two infantry battalions are similar to Chang Trilling, so there is no need to go into details.

Among the seven battalions of the whole army, the most novel thing in the special training is the training of the cavalry battalion.

Zhu Youxiao and Lu Xiangsheng did not interfere in the specific training of the cavalry, the purpose was to let Ao Bai train an iron cavalry that could compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but what everyone did not expect was that when the special training of each battalion was in full swing, Ao Bai was not in a hurry, and for ten days, he just took his soldiers to the hillside pasture near the training ground, and told them what grass the horses like to eat, what grass is good, and even brought the beans from the canteen to tell the cavalry what beans the horse eats to grow fat.

After Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong, sent more than 3,000 good horses bought from Mongolia, Aobai still did not carry out cavalry training, but asked each cavalryman to take two or three horses to the hillside to raise horses.

Aobai even let them eat and sleep with their own horses, and they had to wash the horses every day.

Some soldiers are now beginning to regret not being touched, otherwise they would have entered the cavalry camp, and they would not have had to train so hard, just leading their horses around every day.

"If you want to become a first-class cavalryman, you yourself are not afraid of death, you have to let the horse be as unafraid of death as you, and have the same feelings and emotions as you, when you get to the battlefield, the horse can listen to you, don't think that people outside the gate are born good at riding and shooting, if you don't live on horseback since childhood, and live with horses since childhood, they can't control a horse."

Ao Bai said patiently and touched one of his jujube red horses, and said: "In short, you want to treat the horse as your own daughter-in-law." ”

The cavalrymen, who were originally a little dissatisfied with the Tartar who had taken refuge in Aobai, also felt that it made sense after hearing this, and they all communicated with their horses curiously by petting them.

……

At the same time that the Praetorian Guard was carrying out the final and most critical reorganization training, the first examination that Zhu Youxiao experienced after crossing was also announced.

Today is the time for Qian Qianyi, a scholar of Dongkaku University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Mingrui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to report the results of the examination.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw that Qian Qianyi was still walking a little crookedly, and guessed that he must still be a little inconvenient because he had not fully recovered from his injuries due to the self-deprivation of his offspring.

So, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Li Mingrui will help Qian Ge to be older, come and give Qian Ge a seat." ”

Li Mingrui was busy holding Qian Qianyi's hand, and Qian Qianyi didn't refuse, just bowed his head, and sat on the small brocade pier with the help of Wang Chengen: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the admission list for this examination, a total of 526 people were hired in this examination, and the first candidate in the examination is Shi Kefa", although Qian Qianyi adheres to Zhu Youxiao's will to try his best to recruit royalists or non-Fushe scholars, he can still be independent in the ranking of the examination, and Zhu Youxiao does not ask who must be the first in the examination.

Zhu Youxiao, who saw Guan Shaoning in the examination list, couldn't help but smile, and then heard that Qian Qianyi heard that the first point of the examination was Shi Kefa, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Shi Kefa, he also took the exam?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty's style is simple and unpretentious, and he is very disadvantageous, and Wei Chen thought that His Majesty was now determined to reform the maladministration, and it was when such a person was needed, so he named him."

Li Mingrui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, replied.

"It's okay, the first name is the first name", Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that because of his arrival, he would change the fate of this Shi Kefa, but he would definitely not let him have the opportunity to defend Yangzhou in the future, and even Bing couldn't let him take it, since he would be the first to try, let him go directly to Hanlin when the time comes, and he will repair history for the rest of his life.

The admission list for the examination was very satisfactory to Zhu Youxiao, to the ministers of the DPRK and Central China, who were mainly not from the Jiangnan department, to the royalists and the scholars from Huguang in the north and southwest Fujian, and to the middle and lower class or traditional gentry in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, because there were more admissions than in previous years, and no one dared to say anything.

However, the Fushe people, who represented the merchant class, were very dissatisfied, and threatened to take the examination and far surpass other literary societies, but they were defeated in the imperial examination this time, and only more than ten people were on the list.
