In the suburbs of Beijing.
Hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, dressed in fresh clothes and bright armor, spread their flags high, and shouted loudly.
Not only did the new emperor of Great Ming come here to inspect the army, he also wanted to personally test the generals.
This undoubtedly awakened the desire to compete in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"Hooray."
"Hooray."
"Long live you."
Today, Zhu Qiyu was still the same as the day before. He was wearing golden armor and riding his beloved Ferghana Horse.
He led all the officials to slowly inspect the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"My Great Ming has such a hot-blooded man, how can we not win?”
Zhu Qiyu's blood was also boiling. He wanted to immediately lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight the Wala.
He looked at the tall and handsome emperor on the high platform.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all filled with fighting spirit, and their faces were red.
After Zhu Qiyu's inspection, the main event finally began.
The 4,000 most outstanding soldiers that had been carefully selected from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were divided into 20 groups.
The test began.
Riding and archery.
Combat technique sparring.
Strength test.
Zhu Qiyu inspected the battles of each group of soldiers.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many dazzling talents hidden within this army of hundreds of thousands.”
After a few rounds of inspection, Zhu Qiyu sighed.
The soldiers who were competing in the test were also moved and ecstatic.
Some of these low-level soldiers had bad backgrounds, some were too outspoken and offended their superiors, and some were envied by others and eventually buried in the stable.
And now, the new emperor, the talent scout, was personally supporting them and giving them a platform to display their talents.
It also gave them a chance to stand out.
How could they not be excited and grateful?
Everywhere Zhu Qiyu went, he could see these soldiers bowing to him with reverence in their eyes.
Especially the soldiers who performed well, they reported their achievements to the emperor in high spirits.
In the blink of an eye, round after round of tests ended.
After a series of strict selections, only 400 of the most outstanding soldiers were left.
Zhu Qiyu looked at those soldiers who were eliminated, each and every one of them had tears in their eyes, looking defeated.
He frowned and could not help but shout.
"Can't you guys take this little setback?”
"There are no generals in the world who can win every battle, but there are generals who are indomitable.”
"Although you lost this time, it doesn't mean that you are also losers on the battlefield.”
"Pick up your weapons and raise your fighting spirit. When the time comes, you will personally march against Wala with me.”
"Let me see that you are not cowards.”
The new emperor's angry rebuke immediately ignited hope among the three thousand losers.
Yes, this was just a test competition.
The battlefield was the real stage.
"Although you did not pass the test, you are still the most outstanding soldiers selected from thousands of troops.”
"I still have a reward. Each person was rewarded with twenty taels of silver and five bolts of silk.”
"Those who have rendered meritorious service during the war will be rewarded separately.”
After hearing the new emperor's decree, the three thousand soldiers who had been eliminated knelt down again to thank the emperor.
For the 400 outstanding soldiers who had advanced to the semi-finals, they still had to go through the next round of tests.
This assessment was based on their past performance in the military, as well as their strategies and strategies.
It also had to go through the examination of the main examiner, Yu Qian.
In the blink of an eye, three hundred of the four hundred outstanding soldiers were eliminated, leaving only one hundred.
"For those who pass the semi-selection, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and twenty bolts of silk.”
Zhu Qiyu issued another imperial edict.
Each of these 300 was a one-in-a-thousand talent in the army and could be used.
Therefore, he was not stingy with his rewards.
As for the remaining 100 most outstanding soldiers, they would have to go through Zhu Qiyu's personal assessment.
"You are the most outstanding of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.”
"No matter which one is eliminated, Zhen will feel regret.”
Zhu Qiyu looked at the hundred soldiers in front of him, his eyes revealing a sense of cherishing talent.
"But I still want to eliminate sixty of you. This assessment was about the Battle of Earth-Wood Fort. Write a policy paper."
"Of course, it's not your literary talent that's being tested, but your thoughts.”
After hearing the proposition of the new emperor, the surrounding civil and military officials were also shocked.
The entire imperial court was extremely secretive about the incident at the Earthwood Fortress, not daring to mention this humiliation.
However, he did not expect the new emperor to use this as his main theme.
It made everyone tremble with fear, but they were also very impressed.
This was exposing his own wounds, but it was also healing his wounds.
Among the hundred people, one person suddenly stood up. This person was short and muscular, and his appearance was not outstanding. The impression he gave others was that of a " thick block."
After he bowed to Zhu Qiyu, he scratched his head."Your Majesty, I can't read."
Zhu Qiyu was slightly stunned. This person was illiterate, but he actually passed the initial and second tests. It was very strange.
At this time, Yu Qian walked to Zhu Qiyu's side and whispered,""Your Majesty, this person is called the Southern Overlord. He was born in the Green Forest of Shandong and has brought 800 heroes of the Green Forest to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Court.”
"Although he is illiterate, he used 800 men to defeat 5,000 soldiers.”
"Although this person has never read the art of war, his way of using troops contains the essence of the art of war. He's a genius."
After listening to Yu Qian's introduction, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but curiously size up this short and strong man who looked like a farmer.
"Hehe, if you can't read, then tell Minister Yu your thoughts and insights.”
"Then you have to tell me in detail about the course of that battle.”Overlord Nan smiled honestly.
Zhu Qiyu nodded, then let Yu Qian personally tell him the detailed military situation of the Earthwood Fort.
Two hours later.
These hundred or so most outstanding soldiers handed in their strategies.
Later, Zhu Qiyu invited loyalty Hou Song Bin, Yu Qian two people for everyone to review the policy.
Soon, more than 50 excellent policy papers were submitted to him.
"Your Majesty, this is one of the better policy papers.”After Yu Qian finished speaking, he said to Zhu Qiyu,"That Southern Overlord is a genius, Your Majesty. His answer is strange.”
Zhu Qiyu nodded. He was becoming more and more interested in that Southern Overlord.
However, he still read these fifty policy papers first.
After looking at them in detail, he realized that these people were indeed the best of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
This policy discussion assessment was extremely sudden. No one expected him to use the Battle of Earthwood Fort as the theme.
However, these people still handed in an extremely excellent policy paper.
"It can be seen that they haven't slacked off during this period of time. They have all studied this humiliating battle.”
After Zhu Qiyu saw it, he couldn't help but praise the efforts of these dozens of soldiers.
They were skilled in martial arts, had strategies, and were knowledgeable.
He had dug up a treasure.
