In the early years of Zhenguan, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty came out, and if you really want to talk about it, Niu Jinda is actually not very obvious.

During this period, there were Li Jing, Li Ji, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan, Xue family brothers, etc., if you really want to evaluate a top ten general in the early years of Zhenguan, Niu Jinda may not be able to reach it.

But that doesn't mean Niu Jinda can't do it.

It's just that the light is obscured by these people.

Besides, after so many years of fighting, if he really didn't have any ability at all, he would have been drowned in the dust a long time ago.

Coupled with Niu Jinda's character, such a strategic approach is actually more suitable for him.

He is not Su Dingfang, he does not pursue large-scale killing, and if he can win the war at the lowest cost, he will definitely not hesitate.

Of course, this is not to say mercy to the enemy, but also to pity the subordinates.

In any case, his current strength is actually a bit stretched if he wants to defeat the five crossbows.

When he first came to take office, Li Chengqian did not arrange an accompanying army for him.

In other words, the soldiers under his command today have actually been cultivated by himself over the years.

It's just under the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the fact that he can do this is also closely related to the fact that he has a heart of worrying about the country and the people.

Soon, the army moved.

Niu Jinda did not personally lead his troops to attack the Zhuyue Division, which was the weakest of the five crossbows, and it was not difficult to attack.

The point is, he has to contain the crossbow and lose one.

On the other side, when Zhao Yan and the others heard that the group of guys who had lost the five crossbows had beheaded Niu Jinda's messenger, everyone couldn't sit still.

This is a naked slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty, as the earliest proud soldiers of the Ming Army, where can they stand this?

Before Niu Jinda could deliver the letter, Zhao Yan took the resentful army under his command and killed him.

It's really killed, and it's not ambiguous at all.

Unlike Niu Jinda, they only went on this trip to kill, and the places they passed, but there were people who were not subservient, and they were all beheaded.

In fact, this is also Zhao Yan's cleverness, he knows that Niu Jinda will not give up on his plan, and the face he has lost, of course, he hopes to get it back, how can he pin his hopes on others?

Especially for people like Niu Jinda, if he oversteps his bounds, he will really offend this person, although this person does not pose any threat to him for the time being, but this person is not a person......

Not to mention that the Datang military is one, just talking about the Wagang system, it is not something he can provoke.

Besides, Cheng Chuliang and these guys had to call Uncle respectfully when they saw Niu Jinda.

Don't look at the Ming officialdom that seems simple now, but it is actually very complicated.

And when Zhao Yan led the army to wreak havoc in the Western Turks, Niu Jinda also received the news.

His subordinates all said angrily: "General, what does Zhao Yan mean by this?" Don't you look down on us? ”

Niu Jinda didn't mind, and said with a smile: "That's not it, Zhao Yan's move is actually a wise move."

Officialdom is actually very complicated, what you see is just Zhao Yan sending troops, but in fact, Zhao Yan is defending the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

As the first army of the Ming Dynasty, they heard that the envoys subordinate to the Ming Dynasty were killed, how could they not be angry? ”

In fact, what he said was still subtle, if he really wanted to say it, for now, they have not completely integrated into the Ming system, to put it bluntly, they are not their own people.

"Nothing else, just do what we have to do."

For Zhao Yan's approach, from Niu Jinda's standpoint, he can understand.

As for not being able to fully integrate into the Ming system, he actually understands.

Li Chengqian guarded against him, but it was not for nothing.

Thinking of this, Niu Jinda also sighed, he knew that it was time to make his own choice.

……

And with the war, the big jack who lost the crossbow was also helpless, he thought about it, thought that Niu Jinda would break it one by one, but he didn't have a way to crack it.

Without him, although the five departments are united, because of their interests, the territory between them is also very far apart.

It wasn't that he hadn't proposed that everyone gather their forces together, but it was clear that no one wanted to.

It's no problem for the five departments to advance and retreat together, but if you really want to join forces, who is in charge?

According to their strength, it is indeed the most suitable for the crossbow to be the master, but who is not worried that the crossbow loss will take this opportunity to encroach on the interests of their various departments?

That's why they can't fight together.

Even before, they collaborated, nothing more.

Everyone wants to ensure the independence of their tribe, and this is true at all times.

It's just that at this time, it's embarrassing, and the crossbow is lost.

He knew very well what the disadvantages of continuing like this were, but he couldn't do anything to change anything.

In desperation, he could only let his tribe's army go to the rescue, of course, he himself would not go, what Niu Jinda was thinking, he still knew.

It may not be enough to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but the main force to contain him is certain, and if this is the case, exhaustion can only put him in a desperate situation.

When the time comes, even the rest of the ministries will not dare to come to the rescue, after all, the resentful army is still on one side, who dares to be careless?

It is said that it is a common advance and retreat, but in the final analysis, it is the interests of one's own tribe that come first.

As for the rest of the films, he didn't say anything at this time, all he had to do now was wait for the opportunity.

And this time is not actually here, since they want to reproduce the grandeur of the Western Turks in the past, naturally they are not doing nothing.

There was no preparation at all, it was looking for death, nothing else.

"Da Qi Jin, what about Zhao Yan's side?" Hearing this, the subordinate asked.

Da Qijin said with a smile: "Regardless of him, Niu Jinda's face, he still has to give it, and the more ferocious they kill at this time, the more beneficial it is for us."

While killing brings fear, it also brings anger, and when anger reaches a limit, we Turkic warriors will really awaken. ”

I have to say that this is also a ruthless person, of course, no poison is not a husband, in this era, if you want to really succeed, you can't have the kindness of a woman.

When the subordinates heard this, they didn't say much, and they were actually able to accept such an answer.

It is not their relatives who die left and right, and they can take this opportunity to get something out when the time comes.

Why should they object?

People are selfish, and even more so, they sacrifice the interests of others, even the lives of others, do they care?

Nobody cares......

At the same time, the old and weak women and children in the Dazhao Wangting and the Qiuzi King tribe all migrated to Taohe County, and at this time, there was really only a group of warriors left under his command who could go to the battlefield at any time.

In this regard, King Qiuzi is also quite helpless.

It seems that he has no worries anymore, but he knows that in this way, he has really become a sword under Datang!

There is no more roundabout......

In this regard, King Qiuzi is also extremely helpless.

At this moment, how could he not understand the sinister intentions of the eldest grandson Wuji?

But the more this is the case, the more calm and restrained King Qiuzi becomes, and after that, he didn't even have a major conflict with Daming.

This made Wan Qipu also surprised.

However, everyone felt the inexplicable pressure.

And this pressure is actually all from King Qiuzi.

Without him, when King Qiuzi fought in all directions, everyone didn't really care.

But when King Qiuzi returned home, everyone cared.

That's what it is......

And a few big catties in the northwest are actually waiting, that is, half of his attitude.

Yes, only half, and the other half is not theirs yet.

Of course, all this King Qiuzi has judged, but it is only a judgment, at this moment, he actually has no other way.

It's just one word to say that the sky is broken, kill!

But Wan Qipu won't get used to him, if you want to kill, let's continue?

For a while, the entire Great Zhao Dynasty was quite killed.

Yes, on par.

Both sides still refrained.

But no matter how they restrained themselves, the war reached Chang'an.

Chang'an was actually waiting during this time, of course, they were not waiting for the fight between King Qiuzi and Daming, they were waiting for the war in Goguryeo.

It's been a year, if this war can't take Goguryeo again, and this winter is over, even the Tang Dynasty will have to withdraw its troops.

Moreover, Daming's strength has actually made many people feel inexplicable pressure.

It's not the result they want, it's not.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in Chang'an is actually very weird.

And under this weird atmosphere, Fang Xuanling finally got out of Changke's system.

On this day, above the court meeting, Fang Xuanling held the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a performance." ”

After that, Fang Xuanling took out his recital from his sleeve cage, and when he saw Li Er nodding his head, he continued, "Before, Your Majesty proposed to open a regular department, and Weichen discussed it with a group of colleagues for a few days, and there was already a preliminary arrangement, and I asked Your Majesty to take a look. ”

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling bowed slightly and raised his hands up.

Li Er motioned to the chamberlain on one side to bring the piece over, and after studying it carefully, he also nodded with satisfaction.

Fang Xuanling's ability is beyond doubt, even Li Er has never doubted this.

The reason why he handed over this matter to Fang Xuanling was nothing more than Fang Xuanling's ability.

"It's a very good law." Li Er said with a smile, "It is a good proposal to divide the imperial examination into three levels of assessment. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to take the third-level assessment?" At this moment, someone asked puzzledly.

Not everyone knows about Fang Xuanling's plan, and everyone is also very curious at this time.

Seeing this, Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter is still explained to everyone by the servant......

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty's previous proposal to open a regular course is indeed an incentive for my Datang students.

As for the assessment of the three subjects, it was also discussed by the official and many colleagues before.

The first level is the prefectural examination.

The so-called county examination is a unified assessment of students in each county, taking a certain ranking, and entering the next level, that is, the government examination.

As in the county examination, take a certain rank and enter the next level again to participate in the final imperial examination.

In this way, after several rounds of screening, those who will participate in the imperial examination will definitely be the best in each state capital, so it is relatively fair.

The county examination, once a year, the next year's government examination, and the next year is the imperial examination, and the whole cycle is a regular examination once every three years.

The cycle is not too long or too short, just right.

Of course, there are still some deficiencies, and you may need to correct them. ”

Fang Xuanling is still very modest.

When everyone heard this, even those generals nodded in unison.

Not to mention, it's a pretty good idea.

And at this moment, Zheng Xu stood up and said, "The servant shoots, if this is the case, is it unfair to some places?" ”

"Huh? Please also ask Dr. Zheng for correction. Fang Xuanling immediately asked when he heard this.

Zheng Xu said: "In terms of culture and education alone, the culture and education of some state capitals are indeed better than those of other state capitals, such as the state capital of Lingnan Province, which makes them compare with Henan Province in terms of culture and education, is it not comparable?"

We all know that Henan Province is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and it has a strong cultural atmosphere.

The number of scholars is at least several times that of Lingnan Province.

If all state capitals take the same ranking, is the competitive pressure greater for the students of Henan Province?

On the contrary, is the competitive pressure of students in Lingnan Road to be less?

This is actually nothing, but if the top students of Lingnan Road are not as good as the students of Henan Province, how can this be fair?

Of course, the official also knows that it is not good to say this, but it is true.

I have to think about it. ”

Above, Li Er also nodded when he heard this.

Indeed, this is also a problem.

If you compare Henan Province with Lingnan Province, there is really no comparison.

In this regard, the two are basically not of the same magnitude.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he smiled and said: "Let's put it simply, we can count the students in each state capital and use them according to a certain proportion."

Maintain a certain amount of fairness appropriately.

Of course, when it comes to absolute fairness, it can't be, and you all know that. ”

In fact, he had already guessed that the Shi family would be in trouble.

There is no way, just their family has the most readers.

"There's one more question." At this moment, Ma Zhou also walked out and said, "Since the doctor has raised this loophole, what if the students of Henan Province go to Lingnan Road to apply for the exam?"

This possibility is not non-existent, since I am under great pressure from Henan Province, will there be some people who go to Lingnan Road? Competing with students from Lingnan Road?

Xiaguan was born in Henan Province, and he still knows something about Henan Province.

If someone really had such a mind, it would be a devastating blow to the culture and education of Lingnan Province and even other places.

After all, culture and education without hope are the most desperate. ”

Li Er nodded again, looking at this Ma Zhou, he was also quite satisfied.

Indeed, this is a problem, thinking about it, he looked at Fang Xuanling again, but Fang Xuanling did not panic at all, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, this is not impossible to solve, at that time, we can refer to our hometown."

Students can only be assessed in their place of origin.

Of course, if someone is willing to move their hometown with their family, it is not impossible, and this is actually an opportunity for many places. ”

Since he had made this plan, he had actually thought about it in every way.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the so-called imperial examination system was also preliminarily formulated.
