Two hundred and seventy can you believe it?
Xue Rengui's strength is really too great, almost four times that of ordinary people. Although he did not dare to use all his strength to face Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, he was not at all inferior when fighting. Cheng Yaojin was good at using a horse spear, and he danced with great power. He did not hold back when fighting against Xue Rengui, and was determined to defeat Xue Rengui. However, although Xue Rengui had been defending, he did not show any flaws, which made Cheng Yaojin a little depressed.
When he reached the back, Cheng Yaojin stopped attacking panting and looked at Xue Rengui with the eyes of looking at the monster. Xue Rengui smiled shyly, and there was no discomfort. Cheng Yaojin retreated, and Yuchi Gong took the lead. Yuchi Gong immediately had a stronger ability to attack spears, so he wanted to fight Xue Rengui. As a result, like Cheng Yaojin, he stopped attacking panting. So everyone looked at Xue Rengui with the eyes of looking at the monster, and then looked at Su Dingfang with the eyes of enviousness.
Su Dingfang has a successor!
Xue Rengui also breathed in two consecutive games. He did not attack with all his strength, but just struggled to defend. However, his defense made the two veterans with great martial arts skills fail. It was rare for him at the age of eighteen. So Cheng Yaojin said depressedly: "Be good, if there were three or five years, this kid would definitely be the number one general in the Tang army. Dingfang, you must train him well!"
Cheng Yaojin said this, and Su Dingfang laughed: "Mr. Lu laughed. This kid's road is still long. He first threw it into the military university for three years and then said something else. He lays a solid foundation and can't tolerate any sluts on the battlefield." Su Dingfang's words made many generals nod, and Li Shiji asked: "I heard that there are 100,000 people applying for the military university this time. Only one thousand people, Sanming, what do you think? Only one person out of a hundred people is very difficult!"
Li Shiji finally brought today's topic to the right track. The fact that 100,000 people enrolled in military universities has spread throughout Chang'an City. The children of these generals are also determined to join the military university. However, for fairness, they must also take the exam, but it is another matter. Of course, if it is too bad, Suning will not allow him to enter the military university. Not to mention anything else, at least they have to be able to pass, otherwise how can the military university convince the public?
"I have also considered this. There are many contents of the assessment. I need to carefully consider it. If I don't test my specialties in this exam, it is for recruiting soldiers. I can learn any specialties during the three-year study period of the Military University. If I recruit students based on their specialties, it would be biased. Therefore, this enrollment will focus on personal moral qualities, and the rest are secondary."
As Suning said that, he took a group of generals back to the combat laboratory, came to the sand table, and pointed out the measured examination location: "This is an examination location. This was determined when the sand table was surveyed and mapped. The first exam was six days later. The way to take the exam was to divide 100,000 people into ten teams, hold the same content exam in ten different places, that is, long-distance running.
Here, the meeting point outside Chang'an City is just a gathering point of 10,000 people. They will start running from here. The goal is here, and it is half a day away from the starting point. If you run at a certain speed, you can run back to the starting point before sunset. Only those who run back before the first curfew drum is ringing are the candidates who pass the first exam.
Of course, running is not just an ordinary running. There are designated distances and ranges here. You need to run within this range. There are hills, mountains, rivers, trees, mud, and pits of all sizes. It is definitely not flat ground. There are also ten thousand people in each team who will pass through a river. The depth of this river will not exceed the waist, but the width is quite far. They have to run to the other side of the river in such a river, and then run back and go along the same path."
Seeing such distance and difficulty, the veterans couldn't help but take a breath. The veteran general Niu Jinda asked in confusion: "Hou Su, is it a bit too strict to do this? With such a distance, it will be very difficult for me to run! What's more, those guys?"
The other generals nodded thoughtfully, and Suning said seriously: "General Niu, do you know what kind of students are recruited by the Tang Military University? What kind of people will they become in the future?"
Niu Jinda was stunned and then said, "Of course I know that they are all officers and even generals in the Tang army."
Suning nodded and said, "So, they are not ordinary soldiers. They are generals. Generals are the courage of soldiers. On the battlefield, the general's courage will infect soldiers. Only when the general moves forward bravely will the soldiers fight to the death. If the general is afraid of fighting, then the soldiers will inevitably retreat and be defeated like a mountain. How can this be? The Tang Military University wants to select a thousand future officers and generals from these 100,000 people, not cowards!
Therefore, they must go through the strictest tests. These tests are not martial arts and equestrians, and they can be trained in military universities. It doesn’t matter whether it is now? What we need to pay attention to now is their courage and perseverance. No matter what situations we encounter, no matter how tired they are, they can grit their teeth and persevere until the end. Only such people can be qualified to be officers and generals! Only the soldiers brought by such people will be truly invincible!”
Niu Jinda was stunned. All the generals were stunned. They soon showed a clear expression and nodded continuously. Suning was right. Generals were the courage of soldiers. On the battlefield, generals would move forward bravely, and soldiers would rush forward together. If the general retreated, the soldiers would lose the courage to fight. The general was too important to the army, so he had to be careful when choosing a thousand future generals from 100,000 people!
"What we want is the best one thousand people, and the other ninety-nine thousand people are not important!" Suning firmly said the most important core idea, and it was recognized by everyone. They all agreed. Then Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up: "Boy Su, let the 10,000 people in this place be handed over to Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng follows them all the way to see who can persevere until the end, and who is a coward. Lao Cheng has to watch it with his own eyes. After all, Lao Cheng will also go in to teach in the future, and the students he selected are always better!"
Cheng Yaojin took the lead. Immediately, other generals proposed to be examiners and see how the gold among the 10,000 people shines. But now there is only one test point confirmed. So with this sand table, everyone began to focus on finding other places suitable for the exam. Early this morning, Suning sent the mansion and the hired masters out for on-site measurements, and there should be results.
So on the sand table, the old generals found more than 20 places suitable for testing sites, but these places require on-site measurements, especially rivers. Whether there is such depth and width for students to run. There are enough obstacles and exact time measurements. This is not something that can be done on the sand table. Suning also stated clearly. In the evening five days later, the ten generals who signed up first came to the Su Mansion to determine their responsibilities.
However, there are some generals who are slow or busy with work who are not able to get the position of examiner and are very upset. They forced Suning to give him a position as deputy examiner. Except for Hou Junji, who is too busy to work, who can't take time, Li Jing, the chief examiner, accompanied His Majesty Li Er to explain and watch the entire exam, the other twenty generals got their jobs and positions. They were so beautiful that they grinned and were deeply moved.
The first exam was completely determined, and more than half of the people could be eliminated, so the remaining candidates with less than 50,000 people still follow the original group and take the second exam after a day off. The second exam, including the third exam, all have the main goal. Suning plans to eliminate 90% of the survivors in the second exam. After the third exam, there will be no more than 3,000 people who stay. Suning dares not guarantee whether there can be 1,000 people in the final test, but this is the foundation of the Tang Military University.
It is better to have nothing than to be extra, and the style of a famous school!
The second and third exams test their willpower while also testing their character and style of conduct. For the Tang Military University, what is needed is soldiers. What are soldiers? What are soldiers? What are the qualities of soldiers? Abide by orders, obey orders, strictly disciplined military discipline, and never drag them down. You will definitely complete the orders. Even if you die nine times, you will never regret it. When facing people or things that need to be protected, you will not be afraid of sacrificing your lives. You will not believe that you can't practice them after three years. However, this attitude cannot be trained by training. There are too many things needed and will directly penetrate into the inner essence of a person.
Military universities dare not produce waste or scum!
After seeing off more than twenty generals, Suning stayed in the study and wrote for a whole afternoon and night. From the third day, Suning personally led a team to conduct on-site inspections in various places outside Chang'an City that were selected by the veteran generals. He walked over and over again the roads that the candidates would have walked, and then calculated the time on the spot. The staff of the entire military university were taken by Suning, busy all day and night. Fortunately, the Su Mansion specialized in food entertainment, which made them feel better.
"Su Hou, I really didn't expect that this admissions exam also has so many tricks, so many requirements, and so precise calculations. Su Hou's mathematics seems to have mastered very well. This exam of 100,000 people will definitely become the most brilliant article in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the imperial examination, our military university admissions exam is much more complicated." Shangguan Qi sat opposite Suning when he was resting after lunch and started talking to Suning.
Suning was conceiving the content of the second and third exams. When he heard Shangguan Qi's words, he couldn't help but smile: "This matter is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and it was proposed by me that Your Majesty personally called me to be responsible. How dare I neglect me? Every precise calculation is related to the results of the enrollment. What we want is the best one thousand people, and we cannot tolerate the existence of scum. Military universities are at the forefront of the storm. They cannot tolerate any negligence. After this period, the military universities have gained a firm foothold, and no one can threaten the military universities.
As for mathematics, a very useful science, although it is not loved by those corrupt scholars, but compared to the words of the magnificent saints, this marquis likes these knowledge more. These knowledge are real, just like what we are going to do. It does not require the poems of the emperor, but only requires real results. Military universities are places where military officers and generals are trained. It only educates heroes who defend the country, but not corrupt scholars who become the poems of the emperor."
Shangguan Qi savored it carefully, and then nodded continuously: "Mr. Su's words made someone suddenly understand."
Suning smiled, stood up, looked at the location of the military university in the northwest, and said to Shangguan Qi: "Shangguan Sima, do you believe that one day, two other universities and military universities will stand together? A university specializes in training officials. It is not a place where only Confucian classics can be taught. Books from various schools of thought can be taught, and officials there will be talented people who are practical in the world.
