The Jinshi from the fifth year of Hongwu was finally taken out!

There were 40 people in total, ten more than expected. This was not the expansion of Jinshi enrollment, but the "late" imperial examination held in the fifth year of Hongwu. The imperial examination in the fourth year of Hongwu was not held, and it was delayed to the fifth year of Hongwu. Therefore, this imperial examination was four years, not three years, and the last imperial examination was separated.

Therefore, the quota should also be increased accordingly. You should be selected for thirty scholars in one beat three years, and of course you should be selected for thirty scholars in one beat four years.

Compared with the thirty Jinshis selected in the first year of Hongwu, the level of this Jinshi has improved significantly - everyone has trained for four years according to Zhao Kai's standards, and certain indicators have certainly improved.

For example, the level of doing math application questions - all Jinshi got full marks in the mathematics subject!

It seems that math application questions equivalent to grade four or five in primary school are not difficult for them, such as the "national college entrance examination top scorers".

Of course, the level of military academics has also improved!

Since the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty has entered a chaotic world, and has been in full swing for nearly seven years.

This class of Jinshi was originally a wartime Jinshi, so of course he knew more about military affairs!

And the fastest-progressing thing they have, of course, is martial arts. Even the Sichuanese from Jiangnan, who are the top scholar Yu Yunwen, can ride horses and shoot arrows!

Of course, Yu Yunwen's riding and shooting skills were not all made up for tutoring in Luoyang. Before he was sent to Luoyang by his father Dong Qi, he had learned martial arts in Jinling.

Because the Wu Jinshi in the Jinling court also began to "internal exams" - the Wu Jinshi had a good official career, so of course there were more people. With more people passing the exam, the admission rate would naturally be lower. In order to eliminate more people, the "powerful ministers" of the Southern Song Dynasty had to raise their requirements.

Archery must hit the target before it is considered a score!

You can't fall to the ground when riding a horse, and you have to run fast. It would be even better if you can jump to obstacles.

The "vegetable horses" bought through the Ezhou-Hanyang Market also gave the children of officials like Yu Yunwen the opportunity to practice riding and shooting.

After all, "Caima" is also a horse, and you can ride it if it is a horse...

In Qianyuan Hall, forty new Jinshi and more than twenty "old Jinshi", as well as more than one hundred students from the artillery school, and more than two hundred freshmen who had just been admitted to the fourth school of artillery, squad, cavalry, and senior schools, all gathered together, waiting for the dinner - today is the day when Zhao Kai gave them a banquet!

Before the meal starts, they still have to listen to Zhao Kai's words.

Sitting on the imperial throne and looking at the fewer than four hundred talented people standing around dozens of square tables in the hall, Zhao Kai nodded with satisfaction and smiled and said, "A man is a real man, born in a chaotic world, lifts up his green edge, sweeps the world, and sweeps the world, establishes the foundation for the people of the world, and reopens the prosperous era. How lucky is you and others! You are all talents of the country, and you can reopen the prosperous era with me. I have received the assistance of you and others. I hope you and others will not let my expectations down!"

This is what he said... Others are "I would rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." Zhao Kai is better, and he is still very happy in a chaotic world!

It seems that this person has no hope of becoming a benevolent king.

But the talent below is also very happy now... I will be promoted quickly in troubled times!

It's about to go to the Northern Expedition?

After one fight, everyone can get promoted and make money!

"I must strive forward bravely and never let you down!"

The top scorer Yu Yunwen took the lead and shouted - he didn't expect that he would win the top scorer. This position is so conspicuous. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, so he must be more active!

"I am willing to be the king's front and sweep away the Northern Captains!"

The second-ranked Xiao Buyan followed up immediately, and he had to be more active... He is a Khitan, he is an alternative, and he even won the second-ranked one. If he is not active, it will be too easy to be exposed.

"I will not let down the emperor's grace..."

Zhao Kai seemed very satisfied when he heard the group of people shouting in unison. He raised his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he listened to him continuing to speak.

"My plan is to prepare for three years, then the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition will take two years to capture Hebei, Yanyun, and Jingdong lost territory!" Zhao Kai said, "This year is the second year of three years of preparation... In the seventh year of Hongwu, I will swear to send troops to fight for life and death with the thieves!"

Zhao Kai is playing Ming chess with Jin Kingdom now... nothing to hide!

The Battle of Montenegro has shown that Zhao Kai's army can defeat the main force of Jurchen in the field battles in the enemy-controlled areas and achieve great victory.

This already shows that he has the strength of the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition!

The reason why the troops were not sent out immediately was to accumulate materials and arms, especially artillery. Although the technical difficulty of using bronze cannons was not high, it was definitely not low. Even under the strict supervision of Yue Fei, Huang Wubing and others, the yield rate of bronze cannons was still relatively low, of which 5 kilograms of bullet weight and 20-fold long cannons cannons can only barely reach one-third.

That is, two-thirds of the cast artillery are scrap!

The scrap rate of 10 kilogram long cannon is more, almost 80%!

In this case, it would take Zhao Kai two or three years to accumulate enough artillery.

In addition, training artillery is also very troublesome... Zhao Kai's "modern education" actually started with the training of artillery officers!

Another thing that takes time is to build cold forged armor, which is also a manual work, and the subordinates have to pay for it out of their own pocket (Zhao Kai will provide subsidies). With the scale of Luoyang's military industry, it is already the best place to build more than 10,000 cold forged armor a year, and in three years, it can get 50,000.

......

There is really not much time left for Dajin!

There is no need to spread news from Xiao Buyan’s Daxing Mansion. Wanyan Zonggan can smell the dangerous smell with his keen sense of smell!

The spring in the nine years of Tianhui is gradually becoming richer inside and outside Daxing. With several precious spring rains, the very dry and cold weather in winter has gradually become a little warm and moist.

The Jurchen nations who practiced martial arts hard for a long time in Daxing Prefecture City also had the opportunity to relax. They either rode their Jurchen horses out of the city to hunt, or grouped together to inspect their manors in the countryside of Daxing Prefecture and collect land rent. After the royal collegial meeting last year, the Jurchen nations began a large-scale migration.

Wu Qimai's group of Jurchens began to migrate to the jurisdiction of the Andong Jiedushi (located to Liaoyang) and the Xianping Jiedushi (located to Xianping).

The Jurchen powerful people of Zonghan were based on Fuzhou and Hosuguan Road on the Liaodong Peninsula. At the same time, they enclosed a large amount of land in Denglai Prefecture and established manors. Compared with Jinan Prefecture, Dengzhou seemed to be safer, so Wanyan Zonghan moved his base camp on the Jingdong Peninsula there.

In Datong Prefecture, Cangzhou, Dading Prefecture, Huining Prefecture and Liaoxi Corridor, it became the settlement of thousands of households belonging to Zongfu, Zongwang, Zongbi, Zongjun, Wanyan Tan and others of Aguda.

Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Liang and his son became the biggest winners in the royal meeting because they won the position of Anbanbojilie, and naturally got the biggest cake. In addition to the ten thousand households directly under the father and son, they also added the Mengan left by the late Wanyan Xier, Wanyan Xier, Wanyan Xier, Wanyan Jiemu and others (these Mengans are all managed by their descendants) under the Great Jin Dynasty.

Of course, Wanyan Zonggan did not deprive his cousins ​​of control over his subordinate Meng'an, but he did not have such authority. Wanyan Zonggan just moved these Meng'an to Daxing Mansion, allocated manors to them, and also distributed homesteads to them in Daxing Mansion City.

In the past year, more than 20,000 Jurchens moved to Daxing Prefecture one after another!

Most of these Jurchens were rich peasant soldiers who were integrated with farming and fighting. They served in the war and usually managed land in their hometowns. Now they have moved to the densely populated Daxing Prefecture, of course there is no land for them to operate. In fact, people are farming and reclamation of the manors they have been transferred to, and the Jurchens who moved to get nothing but rent collection rights.

Moreover, in order to control these people more effectively, and to avoid them from doing anything wrong in the countryside, affecting the tax revenue of the Dajin court. Therefore, Wanyan Zonggan divided the house for them in the Daxing Prefecture City, allowing these Jurchen masters to stay under their noses, cause less trouble, and train more!

In the winter just passed, Wanyan Zonggan urged these Jurchen masters to practice the ability to kill enemies every day - not only to practice archery and horse fighting, but also to practice throwing pots, military formations, and the ability to defend and attack the city.

Such training intensity is also quite powerful for the Jurchen military aristocratic group that was first established.

The people below are forced to suffer, and they will inevitably have some complaints, while Wanyan Zonggan will give a few words of a stern face and teach them a few words: "There is not much time left for us in Dajin. At most three years, Zhao Kai will definitely come to the country..."

In addition to the more than 20,000 male members of the Jurchen noble family were forced to practice hard for a winter by Wanyan Zonggan, the Bohai military households, Khitan military households and Han military households on Nanjing Road (Daxing Mansion), Beijing Road (Linhuang Mansion), were also closely watched by Wanyan Zonggan and carried out a good rectification.

The Bohai Army, Khitan Army and Haner Army, which were originally a bit messy, were sorted out by Wanyan Zonggan into ten thousand households on the Khitan Road, the Haner Guards on the Nanjing Road, and the Bohai River, a total of three thousand households. Among them, the Khitan and the Bohai River were two thousand households under the Bohai River, and the Meng'an and Mouke were all divided into manors according to the Jurchens' methods.

The Han'er Army recruited troops, and Han Chang from the Han family in Yutian served as the commander-in-chief. He sorted out the Han army affiliated to the Great Jin court and formed a new army of 20,000 people.

So now Wanyan Zonggan has military strength at hand, that is, 20,000 Jurchen soldiers, 10,000 Khitan soldiers, 10,000 Bohai soldiers, 20,000 Han soldiers, a total of 70,000 people... These are all war soldiers who can truly go to the battlefield. If the auxiliary soldiers are included, there will be as many as 100,000 people.

If we count the power in the hands of the ten Jiedus, the military strength of the Great Jin Kingdom is still quite considerable, at least in terms of number of people, no less than Zhao Kai. We are not afraid of war of attrition at all! And their equipment is actually not bad, and there must be more war horses than Zhao Kai, and there is no shortage of iron armor and cold weapons. The only shortcoming is gunpowder weapons... If we cannot make up for this shortage before Zhao Kai launches an attack, the Great Jin Kingdom's destiny will not be long.
