Chapter Ninety-Three: The First Examination (Ask for Collection!)
Just when Huaxia Ling was intensively preparing for the imperial examination, a crisis against Huaxia Ling quietly came.
Headquarters of the Blue Shirts, Saint-Zere, in the Lord's Palace.
In the conference hall, a middle-aged man was entrenched on the main seat, the man's face was gloomy, and his eyes showed a cruel and murderous light from time to time.
There were about seven or eight people in the hall, all of whom were high-ranking members of the Blue Shirts, but these people were submissive in front of the middle-aged man, and they didn't dare to breathe.
It can be seen that the middle-aged man has accumulated a lot of power!
The middle-aged man is none other than the leader of the Blue Shirts in the Nice City area, Calus!
That is, Eric's father.
Calus glanced at everyone in the hall, and his voice was low: "The expansion of the Huaxia Territory in the south is indeed unexpected, I didn't expect our Blue Shirts to provoke the war in the Nice City area, and this Huaxia Leader has become the biggest beneficiary." ”
"However, no one can step on our Blue Shirt Army to rise, and now since we can't help the City Lord's Mansion and the Red Rose Collar, then let's take this Huaxia Collar first. ”
"Who of you wants to lead the army?"
Calus asked the people in the room.
"Father, I'll go!"
Eric immediately stood up, he was waiting for the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Huaxia Ling for revenge, he had waited too long!
"I must completely set foot on the Huaxia Territory to avenge the humiliation of that day!"
"Good. Calus nodded with satisfaction, "Since you want revenge, I'll give you a chance to take revenge yourself." ”
"In three days, I will give you 1,000 third-order soldiers, and you will first take the northernmost Kribi Town of Huaxia Territory!"
The Blue Shirts also have to guard against the attack of the City Lord's Mansion, and pulling out a thousand third-order soldiers in three days is already the limit of the Blue Shirts now. No matter what, once the City Lord's Mansion launches an attack, the Blue Shirts will face great danger.
The town of Kribi is the northernmost town of the Huaxia Territory, bordering the territory of the Blue Shirts.
"According to our intelligence, there are more than 300 garrisons in Kribi Town, and the mayor of the town is a guy named Svein, you have a thousand soldiers, it shouldn't be a problem to take Kribi Town, right?"
"No problem!" Eric confidently replied, with a thousand against three hundred, in his opinion this is not a war, it is a one-sided slaughter!
"I must let Huaxia Ling know the consequences of offending my Eric!"
Huaxia Town, the test papers for the first and second examinations, Allen has been released.
The questions in the preliminary examination are relatively simple, and Allen's purpose is to select a group of people with certain talents through the preliminary examination, and these people can be cultivated as preparatory talents in the territory even if they cannot pass the subsequent re-examination.
There is only one question in the re-examination paper.
Give you a town and how you will govern.
The purpose of this examination is to select urban management talents, and this question is the most suitable.
Through this question, Allen can understand the governance philosophy and governance ability of each candidate to govern the town, and select the talents with outstanding ability and suitable for Huaxia Ling, so that they can serve as the mayor of each town and govern the town.
After the test questions were ready, Alan handed the test papers for the first test to the guards around him, and asked him to take them and make several copies to distribute to various towns before the first test began.
On May 20, the registration for the exam was officially closed, and the number of people who signed up in various towns also reached the hands of Allen in Huaxia Town.
There are eleven towns in the territory, and more than 100 people have signed up in each town, and the total number of applicants in the entire territory is more than 1,000 people.
For this number of applicants, Allen is still quite satisfied, Allen was worried that the people in the territory would not be able to accept the 'imperial examination' system for a while, and no one signed up. Now it seems that Alan is thinking too much.
There is an opportunity to ascend to the sky in front of us, how can a truly talented person give up easily?
The preliminary examination is scheduled for the morning of May 22.
In Huaxia Town, Allen arranged the location of the examination room on the square in the center of the town, which has been expanded several times larger than the beginning, and is more than enough to accommodate more than 100 candidates.
Alan did not close the examination room, but chose to conduct the examination in the open air, and the residents of the town could watch from the outside of the square. In this way, it can also be regarded as a propaganda for the imperial examination.
Early in the morning of May 22, Alan left the Lord's Mansion early in the morning and hurried towards the square in the center of the town. Behind Allen, the guard held a thick stack of test papers in his hands.
The invigilator of Huaxialing's preliminary examination is Alan himself.
When Allen arrived at the central square, the square was already filled with hundreds of sets of tables and chairs, and more than 100 soldiers surrounded the square, and no one was allowed to enter.
On the periphery of the square, there were hundreds of people standing up for the exams and people who came to see the excitement, which was almost half of the population of Huaxia Town.
Seeing Allen coming, people bowed and saluted.
Alan walked into the examination room, sat down at the front of the invigilator, looked at the time and said, "Let the candidates enter." ”
"Candidates enter!"
The soldier in charge of maintaining order at the scene shouted.
When the candidates who signed up for the exam heard this, they stepped forward one after another, and after the soldiers had confirmed their identities, they entered the examination room.
A total of 133 people in Huaxia Town signed up for the exam, and after more than 10 minutes, all 133 people entered the examination room, and none of them were absent.
Alan called a few soldiers and told them to distribute the papers.
"Exam begins!" shouted Alan after all the candidates had their papers in their hands.
When the candidates heard the instruction to start the exam, they picked up the pens on the table and began to answer.
On the periphery of the square, the crowd of onlookers looked at the candidates who were answering with pens and were curious. They all want to know what is on the test paper. Some people who hesitated and didn't sign up began to regret it, anyway, there was nothing to lose, why didn't they have the courage to sign up, give it a try!
Alan sat on a high place, looking at the candidates in the examination room. Because this is the first time that the imperial examination has been held, the candidates have not yet had the concept of secretly carrying materials to cheat. In the future, when the imperial examination will form a fixed system, how to prevent candidates from cheating is the most important issue.
The other ten towns in Huaxia Ling also started the exam at the same time.
In one of the exam rooms, Arthur spread out the test papers on the table, glanced at the contents of the test papers, and smiled confidently.
These questions are simply pediatric for him!
Arthur wrote the words "Kribi Town, Mariel Village, Arthur" in the candidate's information column, and began to answer.
Because it is the first time, it is inevitable that there will be various problems in each examination room during the examination process, such as some candidates forgetting to bring a pen, and some candidates having questions about the exam questions.
Fortunately, they were all minor problems and did not affect the normal conduct of the exam.
At the same time that Alan announced the start of the exam, in the city of St. Zell, Eric led a thousand troops and began to march in the direction of Huaxia Territory.
No one noticed that after Eric's troops left, an ordinary-looking man left the city of St. Zell, bypassed Eric's marching path, and rushed towards Huaxia Leader.
At noon, Huaxia Ling, Kribi Town.
The first exam was over, and Svein collected all the papers and packed them together to hand over to one of the guards.
"Wait for the Gale Eagle to come over, give these test papers to the Gale Eagle, and bring them back to Huaxia Town to hand them over to the lord. Svein instructed the guards.
Alan had already informed the towns in advance, and after the exam was over, he would send Gale Eagle to each town to collect the test papers, and ask the heads of each town to sort out the test papers in advance.
Svein had just returned to the government office when the guards outside informed him that the Noxus agent sent to St. Zell had returned.
Svein's eyes flashed, could it be that the blue shirts couldn't make any moves?
"Let him come to me!" said Svein.
Soon, the Noxus agent was brought before Svein.
"What's going on?" asked Svein.
"Tell Lord Svein, the Blue Shirts have sent a thousand troops, led by Eric, and are coming towards our Huaxia Command, and the target is Kribby Town!"
When Svein heard this, his eyes were cold: "What is the strength of this thousand troops?"
"It's all a third-order class. The Noxus agent replied.
Hearing this, Svein nodded lightly and began to analyze the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy.
Because Kribi Town is located on the periphery of the Huaxia Territory, there are relatively many garrisons among the eleven towns in the Huaxia Territory. The town has two hundred Noxian Axemen, one hundred Frost Archers, and fifty Priests of Light.
Such strength cannot be said to be weak, but compared to the thousand third-order soldiers of the Blue Shirt Army, it is at an absolute disadvantage.
"Send someone to inform the lord of the invasion of the Blue Shirts, and ask for help from nearby towns!"
Svein ordered.
"What about the 1,000th-order soldiers?
"Quack!
The crow on Svein's shoulder let out two piercing cries in unison.
