Although Xu He still has a lot of questions in his heart, he wants to ask clearly.

But seeing the touching memories of the uncle, he didn't dare to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Qi Jiguang also found out that the teacher was wrong, so he returned to the topic and said: "It's not all because the children of our guard are not angry, it's really that the status of the martial arts is too low now, I heard that a while ago, Daning commanded the servants to meet the governor of Qizhou on the road, a dignified five-grade assassin history, because he did not avoid it, he was beaten by Li Yu of the Zhizhou on the side ......of the road with a cane."

"Liangsheng, tell me, it's not decent to attack the martial arts, it's not as respectable as the family wealth, who wants to practice martial arts?"

Qizhou is the later Baoding City Anguo City, the end of the Tang Dynasty divided the state and placed, to the Great Wei Dynasty, Qizhou is for the scattered state, Zhizhou is from the five products, but all command the affairs that are the subordinate officials of the command envoys, the rank is the third grade, just from the grade, I don't know how many streets to throw that Li Zhizhou.

But the civil government is powerful......

Xu He believes that if a country does not respect its soldiers and does not improve the treatment of its soldiers, then its army will definitely be scattered and useless.

That's right, the lessons of the Five Dynasties are too profound, but the civil government governs the country, and the two Song Dynasty have no lessons?

It is very dangerous not to belittle a warrior and elevate the status of a civilian official indefinitely just because there is no major war.

What's more, seeing that the broken ship of the Great Wei Dynasty has long been riddled with holes, if it is still not just a warrior as before, let the guards keep themselves, and think about the selected soldiers in Guangxi, it will really make people sleepless at night.

But to be honest, this phenomenon is also accumulative.

Don't look at Qi Jiguang's heartbroken appearance now, in fact, affected by the policy, a person is just a drop of water in the torrent of the times, all he can do is to go with the flow, otherwise Qi Jiguang is so envious of readers?

"Look at me, I don't read much in the end, and my speech is always messy!" Qi Jiguang said with a smile, "Let's talk about the attack!" ”

I learned from Qi Jiguang that every year, the military selection department of the imperial court will inspect the military generals on the field of the two Kyoto governors.

The commander of the large school field, the ministers in the martial arts hall sit in the middle, the brocade guard, and the military department sit on the left side of the matter, and the subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion sit on the right.

In fact, before Yingzong, the martial arts competitions were all in the sole responsibility of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, but since the eighth year of Yingzong, the invigilation of martial arts competitions has been added to so many yamen one after another.

It is conceivable that the imperial court's defense of military generals is far deeper than that of previous dynasties.

This martial arts competition is a bit similar to martial arts, first a written test, and the content of the written test is actually a paper talk, so that candidates can use words to deduce weapons on the exam papers.

The second item is archery and horse fighting, which is a test of the candidate's physical fitness, such as archery, the five shots and three hits are called [single collection], and the full or four shots are [full collection], these two levels are considered to pass, and the others are failing.

The third item is the actual war simulation, of course, the scene is not so big, the test is the military generals camp, leading the troops to fight, reconnaissance scouts, the ability to adapt to changes and the courage to fight against the enemy.

"What if I don't do well?" Xu He asked.

Qi Jiguang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you pass two of the three things, you can still take the job, but the salary will be halved, and you will take the exam again next year, and if you fail to pass all three times, you will be exiled to the border!" ”

This punishment is humane: "But what if someone reaches the age of taking the job and does not take the exam? ”

Qi Jiguang's face suddenly became much more ugly when he heard this, and he said after a while: "Take away the martial arts, and the guards will use it!" ”

Xu He didn't understand why Qi Jiguang's face was so ugly all of a sudden.

Qi Jiguang glanced at Xu He, sighed and said: "Liangsheng, I can't hide it, although my family has been poor since I was a child, I can still make up the money to go to Beijing to take the exam, but ......, but it costs a lot of money to make up and down, I am afraid that when the three-year period expires, if I can't pass the exam, I will be exiled...... so when you ask if you can't go, I, I'm hesitating!" ”

When Xu He heard this, he suddenly felt that this world was really ridiculous.

The dignified Qi Jiguang, when he was young, was not a high-spirited teenager, and he didn't think about defending the country and expelling the Japanese slaves, but he hesitated not to take the exam because he could take the post, and finally became an ordinary big soldier in the guard, serving tea and water to the military attachés of the guard every day, plowing the fields and farming.

Thinking of this, Xu He said to Qi Jiguang: "Senior brother, you may have also heard of it, my eldest uncle ......"

Who knew that before he could finish speaking, Xie Kun said: "Don't mention Xiao Shigong, when Yuan Jing takes office in three years, can your eldest uncle still be in the court!" ”

Xu He smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It turns out that my uncle is not optimistic about my eldest uncle......

When Xie Kun heard this, he sat up straight and said: "Xiao Shigong is a rare good minister in the imperial court, he knows the art of war and knows military affairs, if he is in the court, although he will not say that he can be exterminated immediately, but he will not let it become bigger, but there is also the first assistant surnamed Qin, Wu Xingbang is also useless, I see, even if Xiao Shigong has a good wrist, he is not the opponent of these people." ”

When Xu He heard this, he was really curious, so he asked, "Uncle Shi, what happened to you last time you personally went to Beijing to urge grain?" ”

When Xie Kun heard this, his face became cold and said, "Lu ...... After Lu Butang arrived, he reorganized the armament and trained the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Zhejiang was greatly boosted, and it was defeated by the border army led by Lu Butang and the miners of Yongkang County between Taizhou and Yiwu, and more than 3,000 Japanese were wiped out in a war. ”

"Since the Japanese rebellion, cutting off 3,000 thieves in a war is already an unprecedented victory. But ......"

Xu He frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"But when the good news and the excerpt of the grain came to Beijing, Qin Yan actually suppressed the good news and questioned Lu Butang in front of the courtiers, and in the end, not only did he not give a reward, but he didn't even allocate food."

"When the news reached the army, the soldiers were in an uproar, and the Lu Ministry appointed me as a member of the grain raising committee, and ordered me to go to Beijing to ask for grain.

When Xu He heard this, he felt that why was this plot so familiar?

patted his head and suddenly realized, isn't what happened to Uncle Shi exactly what happened to him in Caosi Yamen?

Thinking of this, he blurted out: "Is it that Qin Yan doesn't want to give food at all?" ”

Xie Kun nodded with a cold look in his eyes.

"In the end, I still gave it, but Lu Butang couldn't survive the day when the food arrived!" Xie Kun said coldly.

Xu He was curious: "Why?" Why did Qin Yan withhold the grain? Isn't he an old acquaintance with Lu Butang? And Lu Butang went south to Zhejiang, or did he operate? ”

Xie Kun looked at Xu He and said in a cold voice: "Because the Qin family is the largest merchant of tea, porcelain and silk in Jiangxi!" ”

Xu He was shocked: "Uncle Shi, what do you mean ......?"

Xie Kun smiled, took a sip of wine, looked at the calm lake outside the boat, and said lightly, "Didn't you say it just now?" Someone colluded with the Japanese to smuggle and sell silk muslin, so how could porcelain and tea be missing? ”

"......Boom" A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the sky was still clear in the morning, but at this moment, it was cloudy unconsciously.

"Let's go back!" Xie Kunyi laughed at himself: "What kind of lake do you swim in winter, I'm also stupid!" ”
