February 20th was the time for the entrance examination to the Brandenburg Military Academy. In the days before this, Brandenburg had a huge influx of people. There were not only people taking the entrance examination but also people in the crowd.
Refer to relatives and friends of the person and some people who want to watch the excitement.
Although before this, William and officials at all levels had thought that there would be a lot of people, the number of people still exceeded everyone's expectations. The Brandenburg Gate was simply crowded, until William urgently mobilized
After the garrison outside Landenburg Castle maintained order, the traffic conditions at the city gate improved.
William ordered people to post notices in all places where people gathered announcing the date and location of the exam:
The entrance examination for the Brandenburg Military Academy will begin on the 20th of this month, and the examination will be held at the Military Academy on the outskirts of Brandenburg.
While the notices were plastered all over the city, William also ordered Brandenburg officials to send people to post a map between the city gate and the academy to remind everyone where the military academy is.
Every hundred meters on the street, there is a soldier holding a huge sign with an arrow drawn on it. If you follow the sign, you will reach the entrance of the college.
Countless tents were set up in the square inside the college. These tents were where candidates took the exam. Each tent had a stool and a table, and there was only a pen on the table.
This was to prevent someone from bringing in something they shouldn't have brought in through the pen holder. William, who had taken the exam for later generations, knew that cheating was not too difficult.
Soldiers were also arranged to guard the entrance of the college. Another role of these soldiers was to search the body. For those who tried to bring something that should not be brought into the examination room, William's way of dealing with it was to immediately arrest and imprison them for half a month.
, you are prohibited from taking exams in the future.
Regarding the subjects of this exam, William decided to divide this exam into four major subjects after consulting Qi Teng and everyone else’s opinions:
1. Self-cultivation of a junior officer
2. A brief discussion of the Prussian military system,
3. The relationship between the army and the country,
4. National quality and culture.
William thought about these four subjects for a long time. First of all, those who want to apply for the Brandenburg Military Academy must know something about the military. Secondly, based on their understanding of the military, they must put themselves in their shoes and think about how to improve themselves.
In addition, you should have a general understanding of the country, national quality and culture. In this way, the people admitted will be qualified.
On the morning of the 20th, William got up early and dressed up, then, led by Qi Teng, boarded a carriage and headed for the military academy outside the city.
The exam time is ten o'clock in the morning, and the admission time of the candidates is nine o'clock in the morning. Some nervous candidates even set up tents at the entrance of the college on the night of the 19th, which made Brandenburg's tent
The businessmen actually made a fortune. Fortunately, the weather was good and the temperature at night was not very low. Otherwise, these people would be too cold to talk about the exam.
It was eight o'clock in the morning when William arrived at the academy. At this time, the entrance of the Military Academy was already crowded with people. Looking at the sea of people from a distance, William turned to look at Qi Teng and smiled at this scene.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the candidates who took part in the examination are so enthusiastic. I believe that countless talents will emerge from them. Our Kingdom of Prussia is expected to be revitalized." Old Saito said happily as he bowed.
"These people are all in the rough. I hope the old marshal can teach them more in the future so that each of them can become talented," William replied with a smile.
While William was chatting with old Saito, the soldiers guarding the entrance of the college saw the carriage. When he saw the royal emblem on the carriage, the officer leading the team immediately ordered his soldiers to clear a road, and then ran towards the carriage first.
Come.
At the same time as the officer ran towards the carriage, more people saw the royal carriage. As a Prussian citizen, how could he not know the royal emblem?
As people's attention shifted, in order to prevent the presence of blind people, the royal guards following the carriage quickly got off and stood around William's carriage, forming a human wall blocking everyone's view.
At this moment, huge cheers erupted from the crowd. When the news spread to ten and hundreds, everyone learned the news of His Majesty the King's arrival, and the crowd rushed towards the royal carriage with a roar.
Seeing this scene, Buell, the royal steward who led the team, was very anxious. He immediately asked William for instructions whether to immediately order the guards to maintain order.
After hearing about Buer's culture, William did not answer immediately but looked at old Saito. After seeing the look William cast on him, old Saito immediately asked Ying to get out of the car and evacuate the crowd.
After old Saito got out of the car, he jumped on the roof of a carriage behind him and shouted to the crowd that was crowding around him:
"Please get out of the way immediately. This is His Majesty's convoy. Please everyone get out of the way immediately. If someone disobeys the order, I will order the soldiers to arrest him. If he is a candidate, I will immediately disqualify him from the examination. Repeat
,please get out of the way immediately,,,,,"
Not long after Old Qiteng finished speaking, the crowd stopped moving forward, and even some candidates with military background took the initiative to maintain order during the exam.
At this moment, the soldiers at the city gate finally cleared a path. William looked at the leading officer in front of him, who didn't know where his military hat was being pushed. He was angry and funny, and finally smiled and patted him.
The young officer became excited immediately after being tapped on the shoulder. He wanted to say something but couldn't seem to say it.
Seeing this, William said kindly:
"You're doing a great job, keep up the good work. Now go get your military cap and put it on. How can my Prussian officer be so disheveled?"
After being encouraged by William, the officer seemed to have yelled with all his strength:
"Long live His Majesty the King, long live Prussia"
Just after the officer finished shouting, everyone outside the military academy seemed to be stimulated by something, including the soldiers, and they all shouted:
"Long live His Majesty the King, long live Prussia"
After that, William successfully entered the military academy and, under the leadership of Qi Teng, visited several current buildings inside the academy.
At this moment, William seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Qi Teng:
"Is there a chef in the academy?"
After receiving Qi Teng's affirmative answer, he ordered to immediately organize people to prepare breakfast, and immediately sent people to breakfast shops in the city to buy breakfast. These breakfasts will be provided free of charge to all candidates.
After listening to William's order, everyone was extremely excited. This was a kind and considerate king. People who had never gotten along with William thought so.
