Chapter 316 The Vision of an Eternal Emperor
Without sea control, there is no way to control the world or overseas regions.
It can be said that sea power is the core lifeline of the empire on which the sun never sets.
Even after the emergence of the air force in later generations, not only did it not weaken the importance of the navy, but it gave the navy wings, combining sea control and air control to play a greater role.
The same goes for special forces, which are the amplifiers of the navy's strength.
Moreover, as a new force formed by Ying Yu, the Qin Navy is more energetic and matches the style of the special forces better.
Ying Yu is looking forward to this very much.
"Your Highness, the materials you requested for the recruitment of various departments of the imperial court have been prepared."
Just as Ying Yu was finishing up the special forces training plan in his mind, Hongxiu held a stack of materials and gently opened the door and walked in.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Ying Yu nodded slightly, and then continued: "By the way, the "Ten Sutras" have been printed and distributed to various departments and schools, right?"
"Back to Your Highness, everything has been distributed."
"Nowadays, all departments and colleges are organizing people to study the contents. I admire His Highness's talent very much!"
"It's just that the chief officials of each department have new ideas for the scientific examination questions and plan to add this new arithmetic content. Now they are very busy."
Hong Xiu smiled sweetly.
"It's a good thing to be willing to learn. If you can fully absorb the arithmetic content here, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of each department."
This "Ten Classics of Arithmetic" is originally an excellent mathematics textbook. It has been revised by Ying Yu himself, making many contents easy to understand and adding corresponding extensions, making it richer than the original work.
If the various departments of the imperial court can really grasp the contents, not to mention more, the speed and accuracy of this statistics will definitely be improved by more than one level, and the office efficiency will naturally go up.
"However, there are also suggestions from officials and scholars, saying that the "Ten Classics on Arithmetic" was published relatively late and students did not have enough time to study. They asked whether the time for the scientific examination should be appropriately postponed."
Hongxiu said softly.
"No need, the ability to learn new things is the focus of this assessment."
"What I, Da Qin, want are never nerds who can only study hard, but talents who can quickly learn to understand and use them flexibly."
"This time the arithmetic test questions will be reviewed and modified by me personally to ensure that this group of Da Qin students understand the importance of arithmetic."
This time, for the scientific examination of various departments, Ying Yu, the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, is the only examiner. Naturally, there will be no omissions in this examination.
The Da Qin version of the imperial examination will never constrain students' thinking like the eight-legged essay.
What Ying Yu wants to select are elites who are truly useful to Da Qin.
Among them, those who are flexible and have the intention to join the army can also be recruited into the special forces.
To become a qualified special forces soldier, one must not only have excellent martial arts skills, but also be able to endure hardships.
Learning ability is also extremely critical.
Ying Yu thought for a while, compiled a plan, and then took Suzaku into Xianyang Palace.
"The selection and training of this special forces force is really amazing."
"If they can pass your test in the end, all of them can become true kings of soldiers!"
"Isn't it just too difficult?"
"Many of the subjects in your plan, just by looking at them, seem promising but daunting."
Ying Zheng looked through the special forces training program compiled by Ying Yu with great interest, pondered for a moment, and then asked with some hesitation.
"Father, what these special forces want is the strongest elites. If there is a slight mistake, you will pay the price with your life in actual combat."
"It is better to let them be eliminated in training than to die on the battlefield in the future."
"The purpose of forming special forces is to obtain the maximum gain at the minimum cost, so the requirements must be extremely high.
Candidates must not only have excellent martial arts skills, but also have flexible minds and strong learning abilities.
If you want to become an excellent special forces soldier, in addition to being brave, you must also be proficient in foreign languages, intelligence reconnaissance, assassination and many other subjects."
"I think it would be good if 50 of the more than a thousand people selected by Wang Li finally pass the examination."
"Fifty people?"
When Wang Jian on the side heard this, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.
You know, when the Great Qin Navy was established, it was originally composed of elites drawn from various armies.
And this time, the thousand people selected by Wang Li were even more elite among the elite.
The strength of this group of people, many of whom have reached the standard of Iron Eagle Swordsmen, can be said to be the best group of people among the three armies of the Qin Dynasty.
But Ying Yu actually said that among the thousand people who could be called the most elite in the Great Qin Army, only fifty of them would pass the test and become special forces. Isn't this disparity too big?
"This ratio is not an exaggeration, because the requirements for comprehensiveness of special forces are too high, and physical fitness is only the basis, and it is also the easiest to meet the standards."
"What's really rare is psychological quality, learning ability, teamwork, etc."
"Such rigorous assessments are, in fact, a test of physical strength, mental strength, and willpower. Only the best warriors can persevere through rounds of selection to the end, and be tempered from ordinary iron to fine spirit.
steel!"
"Through this layer of screening, we can also discover the specialties of each soldier and establish their positioning based on their specialties, such as reconnaissance, intelligence, crossbow sniping, etc."
"Only in this way can the finally trained special forces meet the requirements and become the sharpest blade of our Great Qin.
If you don't come out, that's it. Once you come out of the sheath, you will drink the enemy's blood and return in triumph."
If you want to form special forces, you must have strict requirements. No matter whether it is personnel selection or training, there can be no carelessness.
"No wonder, you kid would set your sights on students taking the scientific examination."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said:
"The people of our country, Qin, have always been good at martial arts, and many of our students are also good at both civil and military arts!"
"In this case, let's just let Taiwei and Weiwei join this recruitment and set up a special martial arts test. What do you think?
Ying Yu's eyes lit up.
He is worthy of being an emperor through the ages. Isn’t what Ying Zheng said the martial arts of future generations?
Although the martial arts examination is not as famous as the liberal arts examination, the main reason is that the previous dynasties were too afraid of military commanders and did not pay as much attention to it as the liberal arts examination.
Many talented people with both civil and military skills will give priority to the liberal arts examination.
Because of the liberal arts examination, the future is brighter and it is easier to get promotion opportunities.
But after the corrupt Confucianism theories such as Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which Ying Yu hated most, became popular, horse riding and archery among the six arts of the gentleman were directly abandoned, the martial spirit was completely castrated, and the martial arts atmosphere completely declined.
