Chapter 10 The Journey (6) Jumping and Getting Ready (Part 2)

Similarly, Steyranman from Shiguo also showed a thoughtful expression.

But the competition has not yet ended. Since the Jump Camp was established, it only practiced martial arts at the beginning, and at most it was added to lift stone locks. However, in the era of Guo Yuanzhen, because the deputy magistrate himself was a Jinshi and was a civil servant, he felt that it was inappropriate for the Jump Camp to practice martial arts just because of his position, so he added the literary exam.

All 100 teenagers took the literary exam. In fact, most of these teenagers only wrote their own names. They had been studying systematically, and very few had studied. At most, only twenty people could pass the literary exam.

But examiners still attach great importance to literary examinations, because these young men will become their gangsters within at least five years in the future, and will be promoted to officials who manage internal and external affairs for them. The so-called officials are a kind of low-level officers. They are confidants of senior generals, but they will help senior generals handle many affairs, including private affairs. Those who specialize in external affairs are called laymen, and those who handle internal affairs are called insiders.

At present, Meng Lingcha, the deputy envoy of the Jiedu, had two officials. The ones in charge were called Kang Huaishun, the Hu people in Kang Guo. Of course, they had long been sinicized. Since Shule Town was in charge of Bahanna (Fergana), Gumi, Shihanna, Xiuxian, Shuzhi (these countries were all in the eastern and northeastern Afghanistan in later generations, they naturally needed special talents to run errands for him. So Kang Huaishun, a native of Kang Guo (Samarkand), was selected. Of course, Kang Huaishun was a child of the Kang Guo royal family and passed the selection of the jump camp.

This is an layman. As for an insider, he needs to be able to read and write, understand the court's etiquette and regulations, and write various types of official documents, so he naturally needs a literary exam.

Meng Lingcha's current expert is a Jinshi named Wang Tao. He was not from the Blizzard, but he took the initiative to come to the Western Regions and was preparing to imitate Ban Chao and Chen Tang's feats, "find a title of marquis". After two or three years of being an official, he would most likely be promoted to the high position of joining the army, recording or even judges, just like Cen Shen, who has not yet arrived in the Western Regions.

It would be great if one could select an expert from the dance camp, because although people from Jinshi like Wang Tao were fully competent, soldiers like Meng Lingcha and Gao Xianzhi were more likely to use martial artists. In the Tang Dynasty, although civil and military officials were not distinguished between high and low, there were still big differences in the end.

The examiners knew the details of these young men in the Western Regions, so they did not list the profound test questions, but just asked the young men who participated to write a paragraph of a military book at will.

As a time traveler who came to his later generations, Sun Xiurong regarded Yang Shouyu as one of his team in the morning. Therefore, when he was a child, he instigated his father to let him read and write with him. Therefore, Yang Shouyu was also one of the few teenagers who could take the literary exam.

As for military books, Sun Xiurong's father did not teach him, but Sun Xiurong had carefully read Sun Tzu's Art of War and taught Yang Shouyu. Of course, qualifications like Yang Shouyu were nothing more than reading and writing. It was harder to let him memorize the entire Thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's Art of War than to reach the sky.

Finally, there were only two people who could write one of Sun Tzu's thirteen chapters of the Art of War in a complete and well-known manner. One of them was naturally Sun Xiurong. He wrote the "Nine Changes" with fewer words in the thirteen chapters, but the other one was even more exaggerated. He actually wrote the "Nine Changes" with the largest number of words.

This person is Duan Xiushi, one year older than Sun Xiurong, and is gentle and elegant. He is an orphan. He did not enter the top ten in the previous martial arts exam, but he was only one step away and ranked eleventh. Sun Xiurong did not take it seriously before, and only knew that his name was known after the literary exam was over.

Well, Duan Xiushi, another celebrity.

He thought to himself.

Sun Xiurong ranked second again, and the first one was naturally taken away by Duan Xiushi.

In the final comprehensive assessment, Duan Xiushi entered the top ten in one fell swoop. However, because Hu Meng Lingcha had an expert like Wang Tao, Duan Xiushi was quickly picked up by Gao Xianzhi, while Shi King Prince Steyranm was kept by Hu Meng Lingcha and was awarded a high position like joining the army from the beginning, naturally to detain and show kindness to the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Duan Xiushi is tall, he is not wearing armor and dressed in the outfit of a scholar of the Tang Dynasty. However, his martial arts exam is eleven, which shows that this person is extraordinary, let alone his literary exam is so outstanding?

Gao Xianzhi took Li Siye and Duan Xiushi away, let Li Siye join the Modao team, and Duan Xiushi was his layman. Before joining the army, Duan Xiushi had traveled all over the Western Regions alone and learned Sogdian. He was an excellent candidate for being an layman.

As for the highly anticipated Sun Xiurong, naturally, was noticed by husband Meng Lingzhan. He recruited him and Yang Shouyu to the garrison envoy's mansion. He also realized that Yang Shouyu followed Sun Xiurong's head and wanted to recruit Yang Shouyu, but he had to recruit Sun Xiurong together.

In Fu Meng Lingcha's study, Sun Xiurong and his two men were kneeling in front of Fu Meng Lingcha, waiting for his instructions. Liu Tiao, the recorder and judge of Shule Town, (also from a Jinshi), sat upright opposite Fu Meng Lingcha. Behind Fu Meng Lingcha, his expert Wang Tao, was here to record the items that Fu Meng Lingcha was preparing to apply to these two people, and then presented the items to Liu Tiao for a review.

Afterwards, Liu Tiao will make arrangements according to the official documents. If only low-level officers such as Shi (Ten Husbands), team leader (Five Shi, Fifty Husbands), team chiefs (Three gangs, One hundred and fifty Husbands), the guards can decide, and they will be appointed to the Jieduan Mansion for filing afterwards. If an intermediate officer like the lieutenant (equivalent to the later battalion commander, 450 to 750 people), the appointment power will be in the hands of the Jieduan. Of course, a transcendent ambassador like Bian Lingcheng also has the appointment power.

"Ahem"

Fu Meng Lingcha was drinking hot soup while staring at the two of them.

After a while, he thought to himself: "The boy named Sun is a descendant of a wealthy family. Although he is all descendants of the rebels who are sent here, he has a family background. Although he is kneeling, he is still stable and calm, and there is no sign of stage fright. Such a talent is naturally good, but he is too mature and unable to see through his mind. It is better for Li Fei Shouyu. His upper body is trembling slightly, and he looks very nervous at first glance, and his face is red, which also shows both nervous and excited. However, this son was a slave of the Sun family before, and his father's inertia is still there. It is not appropriate to hire him alone."

After thinking for a long time, he whispered to Liu Tiao again, and he finally made up his mind.

"Both are young heroes, and I'm not to be aware of it. Even if you get the jump camp for nearly ten years, no, no, the young generals of twenty-five years are not inferior in the past ten years. My Tang Dynasty is really full of talents. Because you violated a curfew, you were sent to Hunu Town as a soldier by Bian Zhongcheng. If you force yourself to stay in Shule Town, it is not good. Whether it is Bian Zhongcheng's face or national laws, it's still the same thing. You should still report to Hunu Town."

"But you can't delay it if you are so handsome. I think Bai Xiaode of Hunu Town is not much older than you two. His kung fu is probably different. He was only selected after participating in the jump camp three years ago. Since Bai Xiaode is the younger brother of the King of Kucha, he was naturally recruited by the governor of Gai Jie. Finally, he was sent to Hunu Town. He was first served as the commander of the cavalry and finally the deputy envoy, and was promoted to the official envoy this year."

"Although Gao Manzi is in charge of Yutian Town, he is also in charge of the position of deputy governor and has also discussed with Gao Manzi that the position of cavalry gang leader in Hunu Town is just vacant, and there are thirty-six cavalry gangs, Sun Xiurong!"

"exist!"

Sun Xiurong quickly stood up. After a moment of doing it, he was thinking about his name for the city, and finally saved it. Anyway, he was just the lowest mansion soldier at the moment, and he was too far from his husband Meng Lingcha, so he simply didn't call him.

"You are very good. You are only eighteen years old and both civil and military. I recommend you to serve as the cavalry gang leader of Hunu Town, Yutian Town. Are you willing?"

Sun Xiurong was naturally happy. He was promoted from a soldier three times in a row, or a dignified cavalry mate. What else would he not want to do?

"Will! Thank you for the guard"

"Yang Shouyu, your archery skills are not to mention the jump camp, even if you look at the entire Anxi area, there is also a group of strong iron armored crossbows, each with a strong bow, a sharp crossbow, and a long sword with both hands. They are also one of the few elites in Hunu Town. This guy just lacks a deputy mate. You can serve as the deputy mate and serve as the chief of one of them. What do you think?"

Yang Shouyu quickly said, "That's great... Cough cough, I'm willing, I'm willing, thank you for the guard."

Fu Meng Lingcha continued: "Since both of you are willing, a year later, you will make adjustments based on your performance. In any case, you will be my Fu Meng Lingcha's tooth soldier!"

When Sun Xiurong heard this, he knew that the play was coming. Although he was a little unhappy, he still pulled Yang Shouyu down.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Ya Bing, like the servants of the Ming Dynasty, had the feelings of superiors and subordinates, and the friendship between master and servant. Of course, the latter is only invisible, but for the superiors, they value this invisible function more. To put it bluntly, the friendship between colleagues is all for the country. Only the friendship between master and servant can be managed for the rest of their lives.

For Sun Xiurong, with Fu Meng Lingcha as his backer, some things will be much easier in the future. Moreover, Fu Meng Lingcha will be transferred to Hexi for many years and will not be able to take care of himself for the rest of his life.

"Sun Xiurong, haha"

At this time, Liu Tiao, who was less than 30 years old but was in the position of the magistrate of the Shule Governor, spoke.

"According to the archives, your Aweng is the adopted son of the Khitan traitor Sun Wanrong. Your surname is Yang, and you are favored by the commander. You must remember that you are a member of the Tang army or the tooth soldier who was personally selected by General Meng. You must not do such a great thing as deceiving your army and destroying your ancestors. You must always think about serving the country!"

"Yang?" Sun Xiurong was stunned and then quickly responded: "What the judge said is, I must remember it!"

...

The documents brought by Sun Xiurong and the posters were marked by the experts who were the husband Meng Lingcha.

For example, "When these three people arrived in Shule Town, they were Cheng Qianli, the garrison commander of Yutian Town, and Gao Xianzhi, and the deputy envoy Gao Xianzhi, were included in the preparatory ranks of the Tiaodang Camp, which delayed four days for this. In addition, Shule Town went to Shuangqu Post, a total of five days, and arriving in Hunu Town for another five days."

There is also a letter of appointment left by Gao Xianzhi in advance. Because Gao Xianzhi was going to Kucha City to report his job, he left his own expert to deal with the affairs of Sun Xiurong and Yang Shouyu. Since Cheng Qianli was transferred away, Gao Xianzhi was actually the highest commander of Yutian Town. Therefore, it is easy to handle the appointment of a mere partner commander.

The appointment document reads: "There are Sun Xiurong, the soldiers of the former Pailing Guard City, and Yang Shouyu participated in the annual jumping camp selection in Anxi in the 26th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty. In the comprehensive evaluation, Sun Xiurong ranked first, Yang Shouyu ranked sixth, and the deputy envoy of the governor Meng Lingcha was very happy. He took two people as the fang soldiers. Deputy envoy Gao Xianzhi appointed Sun Xiurong as the commander of the cavalry in Hunu Town, and Yang Shouyu was the deputy commander of the powerful crossbow gang."

And it was stamped with Gao Xianzhi's seal.

Before leaving, in order to attract people's hearts, Fu Meng Lingcha, as the guard commander, gave the two men a set of bright light armor and a tall Yanqi horse. With this kindness, in the eyes of ordinary people, as the "spokesman" of Fu Meng Lingcha, he would never be able to get rid of the status of Fu Meng Lingcha in his whole life.

Is this true?

Although Gao Xianzhi went to Kucha Town, the young men he brought with him, except for a few generals who were selected as fang soldiers by Shule's commander and above, most of them were selected by the generals of Yutian Town. Now Li Siye and Duan Xiushi have officially become his fang soldiers, so they naturally led them back. After learning that Sun Xiurong and Yang Shouyu were still going to Hunu Town to serve, Duan Xiushi was very happy. Among the two, Li Siye and Yang Shouyu had a good chat, and Duan Xiushi admired the new Shule and the "Top-Self-Duan" of the Jump Camp in the Second Town of Yutian Town.
