Chapter 38 Special Enke for Martial Arts Examination
Wang Gui's family killed chickens and cooked fish to entertain Wang Lin, which was regarded as a thank-you banquet.
That night, Wang Lin, Zhou Tong, Yue Fei and others drank and had a good time, then rested in Wangjiazhuang.
Wang Lin stayed in Wangjiazhuang for a few more days.
In addition to talking with Zhou Tong about Jianghu personnel and the world situation every day, he taught the three new disciples Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Tang Huai to practice marksmanship, archery, and even taught them some more practical modern fighting and grappling techniques.
As for the art of war that Yue Fei was most interested in, the night before leaving, Wang Lin knew that he had no achievements in ancient art of war and might not be as thorough as Yue Fei in studying it, so he simply gave him the famous 46-word policy:
As the saying goes: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; in guerrilla warfare, we rely on our chances of victory; we advance and retreat in large strides, luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, concentrating our forces, defeating them one by one, and annihilating the enemy in mobile warfare."
"Yue Fei, if you can really study these 46 words I said and learn to integrate them, you will become a pillar of the country in the future!"
Wang Lin smiled and patted Yue Fei's shoulder gently.
This is the strategic thought of the great men of the past.
Wang Lin felt that the background of the nation's anti-Japanese war was quite similar to that of the late Northern Song Dynasty when the Jurchens were about to fully invade. The same enemy was strong and we were weak, and the same nation was in peril. If history really continues to that point, Yue Fei and other anti-Japanese generals would have understood what they had learned.
The essence of guerrilla tactics is absolutely a nightmare for the Jurchen cavalry.
An important factor why Yue Fei is Yue Fei is that he has extraordinary talent in military command.
When he savored it carefully, he realized that these seemingly ordinary 46 words contained strategic philosophy that could draw inferences from one example to other cases. This gave him a sudden enlightenment. He was so excited that he trembled all over and cast a look of awe at Wang Lin.
Then he bowed slowly: "Thank you teacher, Yue Fei has learned a lot!"
Yue Feixuan said eagerly: "Teacher, can you allow Yue Fei to follow you and listen to your teachings at all times?"
Wang Lin slowly shook his head.
"Yue Fei, great changes are coming. For the time being, you can rest assured and practice martial arts in the countryside, serve your parents, and take care of Master Zhou. When the time is right, I will find a way out for you. At that time, you and my master and apprentice will always fight side by side.
day!"
…
Wang Lin quietly left Tangyin early the next morning and continued on his way to Tokyo.
When he left, Zhou Tong's health had dropped to 0.2. Wang Lin sighed secretly, knowing that this old hero had truly reached the end of his life.
Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and others sent Wang Lin out of Tangyin County before saying goodbye and returning to Wangjiazhuang.
At the end of May, Wang Lin arrived in Bianliang.
The ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, a famous city through the ages, and the capital of the Song Dynasty.
This is a magnificent, majestic and large-scale city, far beyond the comparison with the prefectural and county cities that Wang Lin passed along the way.
Wang Lin followed the bustling crowd into Kaifeng from Chenzhou Gate in the south, and went straight to the "Guiyuan Inn" in the inner city that he and Yang Zhi had agreed upon.
Xue Gui, the owner of Guiyuan Inn, is from the same hometown of Yang Zhi. Hearing that someone was visiting Yang Zhi, and seeing that he was a handsome young man in rich clothes, he muttered: "Please tell me who the young man is..."
Wang Lin handed over his hand and said: "I am Wang Lin, who is from Qinghe County, Shandong Province. I have agreed to meet my brother Yang Zhi here."
Xue Gui was startled. He looked Wang Lin up and down for a long time before saying: "So you are the tiger fighting hero of Qinghe County, Shandong Province that Yang Xiandi said, Prince Wang Lin! You are indeed a young hero, and you live up to your reputation!"
Wang Lin smiled: "Shopkeeper Xue is very polite. I wonder where my brother is?"
Xue Gui's expression changed and he sighed: "Young Master Wang is a step too late!"
Wang Lin frowned: "What does Shopkeeper Xue mean by this?"
"Brother Yang Xian came to the capital and went to the commander-in-chief of the capital camp, Gao Taiwei, to clear things up. His original intention was to reinstate his position and at least find a way out, but unexpectedly, Gao Taiwei..."
Xue Gui lowered his voice and said: "That Captain Gao was very greedy. He thought Yang Xiandi was short of money, so he drove Yang Xiandi out of the Taiwei's mansion. Yang Xiandi was feeling depressed. After drinking that day, he met the Tokyo gangster Niu Er on the street.
They were making a fuss, but they got into a fight without knowing how, and stabbed the cow to death with a knife."
"When the incident happened, the governor of Tokyo took pity on Yang Xiandi because he was good at martial arts and was doing harm to the people, so he protected him in every possible way and assassinated Yang Xiandi to the Daming Prefecture in Hebei Province..."
Wang Lin originally thought that by subsidizing Yang Zhi a lot of money, Yang Zhi would not be impoverished and selling knives in Tokyo, and he would not be able to talk about being sent to Sha Niu Er.
result……
It seems that Yang Zhi's successive disasters are purely destined by the system and no one can change it.
But it is right to think about it. If Yang Zhi does not assign the Daming Palace and does not escort the birth plan, then how Chao Gai and others will rob the birth plan and go to Liangshan will not be able to advance many of the Water Margin plots. The system father's considerations are not unreasonable.
Maybe.
However, Wang Lin felt that it was pointless to insist on this.
So Wang Lin stayed at Guiyuan Inn and booked a room.
This place is located in the central and prosperous area of Bianliang's inner city, less than one thousand meters away from the legendary Xiangguo Temple, and even closer to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, where the martial arts registration is, just one hundred meters east of the inn door.
Wang Lin looked at the notice and found that this year's martial arts examination was completely different from previous ones.
Today, the officials of the Song Dynasty have decreed that in order to select talents in an eclectic way, special martial arts examinations and special encyclopedia examinations have been established, and the original three-level examination system of interpretation examination, provincial examination, and palace examination has been streamlined and adjusted to two stages: preliminary examination and re-examination.
The preliminary examination was presided over by the Ministry of War and supervised by Gao Qiu, the commander of the Beijing camp.
The re-examination was presided over by the emperor himself.
Moreover, in addition to the compulsory examinations of martial arts, riding and archery, and strategic theory, the officials will personally set questions as additional examinations in the re-examination. The number one scholar in martial arts this year will be designated as a disciple of the emperor, and he will be awarded the title of Tongwen Jinshi.
Wang Lin thought about it over and over and felt that the actions of the Northern Song Dynasty court should be related to the current situation. At this time, there was a large force in the Great Imperial Dynasty leading the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. These temple dwellers thought they were well versed in the way of combining vertical and horizontal forces.
, in fact, it is to lure the wolf into the house.
Wang Lin went to the Ministry of War to register and was asked to pay a registration fee of five guan.
He shook his head secretly. Sure enough, he was really scared of the imperial court. It was a sign of the end of the world. Even when he launched special envoys to select talents for the country, he couldn't forget to collect money. It was really hopeless.
This five-guan money was not worth mentioning to Wang Lin, but it was not a small amount for many poor candidates who had gone through great hardships to take the exam, and it was unknown how many people would be blocked.
A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a strong build, clenched his fists. After failing to negotiate with the Ministry of War officials who accepted the registration, he couldn't help but burst into a fit. As a result, he was kicked out by the Yamen defenders.
The young man stamped his feet and said angrily at the door: "Enke, the imperial court, is so crazy about amassing money. It is simply unreasonable!"
"It's okay if Enke doesn't participate!" After saying that, the young man left angrily.
Wang Lin glanced at it, walked up with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "Dear brother!"
[Ma Kuo—life 7, intelligence 7, force 23, reputation 15, skills: iron bones. 】
A legendary diplomat and general who became famous in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
I didn’t expect to take part in the martial arts examination.
Ma Kuo stopped and looked back at Wang Lin, clasping his fists in return.
"Dear brother, do you have to give up taking the exam?"
"You need to earn money to register for the exam, so you can imagine. I was very disappointed, so I didn't want to take the exam."
"It's really outrageous that corrupt officials control every aspect and amass money. However, my dear friend, I came all the way to Tokyo, wouldn't it be a pity to just give up?"
Wang Lin smiled again and said: "If everyone is like a dear friend and gives up taking the exam out of anger, the imperial examination will eventually allow some unscrupulous people to sneak into the court. Then, the imperial court will not only select The lack of real talents will lead to a darker officialdom, thus forming a vicious circle. When will the Song Dynasty court be able to achieve peace and tranquility?"
After hearing this, Ma Kuo pondered for a moment and sighed: "It's not that I can't afford the five dollars, I just feel angry! After hearing what my dear friend said, Fang woke up from a dream and decided to commit suicide for these corrupt officials. It’s really not worth it!”
"I'm dismounting my horse and asking you, my dear friend, what is your surname and where is your surname?"
Wang Lin smiled and said: "I'm from Qinghe County, Shandong Province, Wang Lin."
