In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the bandit suppression work in the Ming Dynasty made great progress. The king of rebellion Gao Yingxiang wanted to attack Xi'an from Hanzhong. Sun Chuanting led the Qin army to guard it. Gao Yingxiang was unable to conquer it, so he wanted to use Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley's strange plan, so he wanted to enter from Ziwu Valley and approach Xi'an. However, Sun Chuanting was a ruthless man who was good at plotting. Heishui Valley in Ziwu Valley was waiting for Gao Yingxiang to fall into the trap. After four days of fierce battle, Gao Yingxiang was defeated and was captured and sent to Beijing to execute him.

Another biggest disaster, the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, was seriously injured by Qin Yiming's crossbow when attacking Anlu County, and his life and death were unknown. However, recently, news about Zhang Xianzhong was collected that Zhang Xianzhong did not die, but hid in the mountains at the junction of Yunyang Prefecture and Sichuan, and added wounds.

The two largest opposition forces in the Ming Dynasty were both severely hit. The struggle of the peasant army had reached a low point. Only some small forces were still restless, and society began to become stable and peaceful.

With the strong support of Qin Yiming, Suizhou Qianhu Office has gradually recovered. Feng Ruhu is indeed a fierce man. Not only did he get back the military farms of Qianhu Office in Suizhou, but he also enclosed a lot of private land. The biggest problem of Qianhu Office in Suizhou is the insufficient population base and the insufficient troops of Qianhu Office in Suizhou. Qin Yiming was about to apply for the merger of Qianhu Office in De'an and Qianhu Office in Suizhou to directly establish De'an. This matter has been supported by Chen Daquan. At that time, Qin Yiming will prepare to use Yang Jiuyi as the commander of the guard, Feng Ruhu Office in the deputy commander and Ai Wannian as the assistant. In this way, he will firmly control the entire De'an Prefecture in his hands and build a military important military town like Xiangyang.

Sun Shirui had already taken office and went to Wuchang Prefecture to be his Huguang Administrator. This Administrator was a high-ranking official, only one level shorter than the governor Fang Kongxu. Sun Chuanting's great contribution made Sun Shirui soar like a plane. He was so envious.

Because the martial arts examination was about to be tested, Yang Qianhu also stayed in Qin Mansion to guide Qin Yiming in training.

This martial arts examination was first created during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the literary arts examination, the martial arts examination was not valued by the world, and the previous martial arts examination was relatively simple. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the martial arts examination was not allowed to be admitted by ordinary martial arts, because the martial arts examination in the Ming Dynasty added answers, which is the written test. People like Daniu were originally qualified martial artsmen, but if they wanted to get a pen, it would be difficult to reach the top. Ordinary martial arts men knew how to read, let alone write an article, so they would not have to study since childhood. This written test alone could eliminate the vast majority of people.

Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, once said: I do not learn the archery technique of one enemy, but the military technique of ten thousand enemies. It is precisely because everyone thinks that military technique is too important that there is a process of answering "first with strategy and second with martial arts". If the answering strategy cannot pass, then there is no need to participate in the martial arts exam.

However, this answer was not a difficult task for Qin Yiming. He was literate and recited some military books. It was not a big problem. Moreover, after Kang Shengnan left, he forgot to eat and sleep and trained hard.

"This is a twelve force bow. It takes 140 kilograms of force to open this bow." Yang Jiuyi said as he opened the bow, aiming at the heart of the distance and shot it out.

Qin Yiming had never used such a strong bow and said jealously: "Yang Laizi, you have a lot of good things, why do you hide so deeply? Why haven't I seen this bow before?"

Yang Qianhu said: "The bow is not available for ordinary people, nor can it be used. I didn't use it for adults before, because you can't use it. Now you can try it. If you can drive it, I'll give it to you."

Qin Yiming took the twelve force bows excitedly, feeling a little heavy. He tried to pull the bow, but it took a lot of effort to pull it open. He was shocked. This bow was really not used before. With such a large force, it was a problem to draw the bow, let alone shoot the arrow. Qin Yiming tried to shoot two arrows and felt pain in his waist.

"This bow has too much power, so it is best to use an iron arrow. After being equipped with an iron arrow, you can hit the target within 250 steps!" Yang Qianhu said confidently.

"Two hundred and fifty steps? It's not a joke. A common bow can't shoot so far!" Qin Yiming was shocked. He could hit the target with only one hundred and fifty steps now. It was very difficult. Two hundred and fifty steps, is there a scope?! It is estimated that it is difficult to see at such a long distance!

Yang Qianhu took an iron arrow, held the twelve force bow in his hand, stretched out his tongue to feel it for a while, and looked at the distance with cold eyes. Qin Yiming had good eyesight, but the target two hundred steps away was not as big as an egg, so it was not easy to see clearly, let alone hit him.

Whoosh.

The iron arrow shot out rapidly, and with high speed rotation, it was nailed directly to the target in the distance, as if it had shot through the bull's eye and penetrated half of the piece. Its power was so great that it was very terrifying.

"I'm hitting the bull's eye!" the little monkey roared.

Awesome, so awesome! Qin Yiming admired him so much that he was so impressed that Yang Jiuyi was really hidden and didn’t know why his father picked up such a treasure!

"Yang Qianhu is so amazing!" Xu Zhen'er burst into praise, and sometimes he ran behind them and watched them train.

"Mrs. Beautiful lady, why are you here?" Qin Yiming asked teasingly.

Xu Zhen'er smiled. She had long been used to Qin Yiming's uncoordination of all kinds of strange words.

"Honey, I've been here for a while. I'm afraid you'll be tired, so I'll send some sugar water over." Xu Zhen'er said softly.

In a flash, it was March of the tenth year of Chongzhen and the martial arts examination began.

Qin Yiming participated in the martial arts examination in Anlu County today. This examination is relatively simple. The requirement for answering is to read. After answering, the archery requires eight-power bows, that is, ninety-six kilograms, and the arm strength test is to pick up stones. Carrying a stone one foot away from the ground. As long as you lift a stone weighing 150 kilograms, you will pass. Of course, there is also the requirement for archery.

It sounds very simple, but it is very difficult for ordinary people. The first level of answering will eliminate many people. People who can understand the word are basically from a good family background, can eat enough, and do not have to give birth. With teachers, many people are far behind in this level, so there will be a phenomenon, that is, if the military man answers the plan, he will invite some literati to be gunmen. This is also a very popular method.

There is also horse riding, archery, etc., the premise is that there is a horse, but can ordinary people afford horses? Eating is a problem. In short, martial arts seem fair, but ordinary people have no chance to participate because they do not have the economic strength.

When the Ming Dynasty arrived at the Chongzhen dynasty, Chongzhen was indeed an emperor who worked hard. He attached great importance to the martial arts examination, reformed the martial arts examination, and raised the martial arts to the same status as Wenju. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he personally appointed the first martial arts scholar Wang, the top scholar in the Ming Dynasty, to be appointed, and directly appointed him as the deputy general.

For him, the martial arts scholar is a very good way to get promoted! It is much better than the hard-earned accumulation of credit! Moreover, in order to ensure Kang Shengnan, he must win the top scorer in the martial arts scholar! He must win!

Qin Yiming copied one of the words according to the military book issued by the examiner and handed over the test paper. When he walked out, he saw many burly and thick warriors scratching their ears and foreheads, eating ink and worrying. There was a mess on the table, and the ink was everywhere. The test paper was even more scattered with big words and chicken crawling over, arranged irregularly.

"This candidate, can you write your own name?" The question was the teacher from Anlu County.

The warrior shook his head, and the old teacher shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighed, and left slowly.

"Has Lord Qin finished?" The old teacher took the test paper, looked at it for a while, and exclaimed: "Yeah, very good. Although the words need to be improved, there are no typos!"

It is already very good for the warriors to be able to write words correctly.

On the second day, Qin Yiming then took the following exam. At this time, less than ten people were left, and the elimination rate of this proposal was indeed too high.

The first thing to do is an arm strength test, that is, a large stone lock weighing 150 kilograms.

According to the examiner's name, everyone moved the big stone lock at one time. The weight of 150 kilograms was not a problem for Qin Yiming. He can now move at least 250 kilograms of stone squats! After this round of tests, there were still five people left to continue the exam.

The second item is to draw the bow.

The eight-power bow must hit the target a hundred steps away!

Everyone has passed this level, and bows and arrows are not rare for ordinary people, so the results of this level are relatively good.

But the third item is different, riding and shooting.

In the end, only Qin Yiming and another candidate were left after the riding and shooting of the five people.

In the exam of more than 100 people, only two people were left, and they were still children’s exams!

On the third day, Qin Yiming became a martial scholar in Anlu County. There was no suspense at all, but Xu Zhen'er and others were still preparing to celebrate Qin Yiming.

Qin Yiming was walking on the street. Now people in Anlu County would not call him Lord Qin, but Qin Xiucai, because in everyone's eyes, this scholar can be higher than the hereditary official position, which is also the vision of the world. Many hereditary officials are also officials, but they will not be recognized by everyone. However, the officials who were tested are real officials.

"Brother-in-law, you are also a scholar, haha!" Xu Dingwang was talking and laughing while eating wine and meat.

Qin Yiming felt that this brother-in-law was making fun of him. He was just a scholar and he would definitely be a juren.

"It's just a scholar. I have anything to be happy about. I think you just want to find an opportunity to come and eat and drink." Qin Yiming said.

"Sister, you're so stingy to take care of your man!" Xu Dingwang asked Xu Zhen'er for help, but Xu Zhen'er smiled and ignored him.

Xu Zhen'er was a peacemaker and said, "Okay, okay, you are amazing. If you didn't get into the juren, I wouldn't have let you give up your imperial examination and official career. Follow me to learn more about doing business in the future. Don't be too sad. What's the use of studying hard? You can't even eat!"

"Sister, you! Okay, your family bullies me!" Xu Dingwang was a little unhappy, and he didn't say anything, ate on his own and ignored others.

Qin Yiming saw that his brother-in-law was really angry, so he picked up a piece of meat and asked with a smile: "Come on a few more mahjong tonight? Call Mr. Song, you can get a table together."

Qin Yiming also made some small inventions, such as peppermint oil, mahjong, bicycles, etc. This mahjong was carved with wood for the sake of family entertainment. He occasionally asked Xiaohou or Song Xiance to accompany their family to play mahjong.

When Xu Dingwang heard about playing mahjong, he immediately became energetic. The unhappiness just now was also left behind and said happily: "Okay, okay, brother-in-law, come and play a few laps after dinner. Brother-in-law, you are so good about your invention. This mahjong is really fun. It requires IQ. Brother-in-law, you are not allowed to pay back if you lose today!"

Qin Yiming was speechless, which made Xu Zhen'er laugh and cry, and finally couldn't help laughing!

"Can you speak? What does it mean to need an IQ? Is my IQ very low? I lost last time because I was too strong in training and lack of energy. Why did I just rely on the debt? I didn't say I wouldn't give you money. It's just that I'm here for the time being, so that you won't run around, do nothing, and do whatever you want. My elder brother is like a father. As your father, I don't care who cares about you!" Qin Yiming said in a prestigious voice and squirted!

But he had to admit that Xu Dingwang is indeed a genius in playing mahjong. He just taught him to play mahjong last time, and Qin Yiming, who almost lost, had lost his shorts.
Chapter completed!
