Chapter 595: The First Evangelistic Group
The practice room in the ancient villa of Wuhao is a standard design indoor room, a boxy and bright room, with thick straw mats on the ground and a screen to separate the area for changing clothes. The weapon shelves for swords and wooden swords are located at the entrance.
Fan Zhiwen and his classmates, led by Mi Youren, rushed in, first placing swords, wooden swords and shields on the weapon racks, and then carrying heavy protective gear into the area separated by the screen to put on protective gear. There is no way to put on the whole set of protective gear alone, and it can only be put on with the help of a companion.
After putting on the protective gear, they appeared in the center of the practice room one by one, and stood in a row in front of Wu Haogu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Wu Haogu," Wu Haogu said lightly, "for the preparation of the treasury envoy, the Xuanzan Sheren of the Gate, with the imperial equipment, and the promotion of the secretary of Jiehe City." ”
"See Wu Xuanzan."
All the doctoral students, including Fan Zhiwen, no matter what they thought in their hearts, bowed respectfully at this time.
Wu Haogu nodded, "The official family has already approved the imperial examination reform proposed by Mr. Dongpo, if the yuan is not changed, the spring and autumn competitions of the sixth year of the establishment of Yasukuni will be divided into left and right lists." The left list is Wen, and the right list is Yunwen Yunwu. Horse riding, fencing, archery, and military studies are required!
All of you Yuntai doctors can go directly to the right list without solving the problem. And no matter the left or right, it's the same Jinshi! ”
Jinshi!
Regardless of its left and right lists, even if it is a martial artist, it is better than nothing!
The eyes of the doctoral students present suddenly became hot. Originally, they couldn't pass the Jinshi, whether it was the left list or the right list or the civil and military Jinshi, they couldn't pass the test. If you can be admitted, you won't be admitted to the doctoral department in the Yuntai Academy, but to the generalist department.
And now, what they have learned in the Yuntai Academy Palace is just to cope with the right list Jinshi exam, not to mention 100% ability, the grasp is still quite large.
Even if the future of the right list jinshi is only a military attaché, it is much better than no official - emphasizing literature over military force or something, that is for a civil official like Mi Youren who was admitted to the Jinshi. A scholar without an official, if he doesn't have a good father, then he is a big man, what qualifications do he have to go to light martial arts?
Wu Haogu's gaze slowly swept over the faces of these doctoral students, taking in their expressions. But I was a little disappointed in my heart...... I still have to be admitted to the sergeant and become an officer!
It seems that we will still recruit more doctoral students in the future, otherwise there will be few doctoral students who will go to the doctoral group after graduation in the future.
"But now there's an opportunity in front of you!" Wu Hao Gu said, "If you catch it, you don't need to wait until the sixth year of the Yasukuni Dynasty to take the exam, maybe at this time next year, you will all be officials of my Great Song Dynasty." ”
And such an opportunity!? Really? Is it so easy to be an official in the Great Song Dynasty?
Wu Hao Gu paused and raised his voice, "Ten of you will form the first evangelistic group under the Doctor Renyi Regiment, and spread my Confucian Dao to the distant island country of Tamna!"
If you are willing to go, step forward! ”
Can you become an official if you succeed in preaching? It can't be a lie, right? And where is the preaching and edification thing so quick to work? How can you have ten or eight years to have a small success, right?
These doctoral students were a little skeptical, and just when they didn't know whether to stand up, Mi Youren on the side suddenly coughed. This is a signal to Fan Zhiwen! As the disciple grandson of Wu Haogu, he can't help but stand up.
Although Wu Haogu's master is not very good, Mi Youren's teacher is still very good. In the past two years, Fan Zhiwen has been favored...... And the teacher won't cheat himself!
"Students are willing to go!" Fan Zhiwen stepped forward and bowed.
"Good!" Wu Haogu looked at Fan Zhiwen, who had become stronger, and thought to himself: This disciple of his own has also suffered a lot in the past two years, right? I don't know how the kung fu is doing? Later, let the wild girl of the Luohan maid try him first.
"Fan Zhiwen, right?" Wu Hao Gu Wenyan asked.
"It's the apprentice." Fan Zhiwen replied stubbornly.
This cannot be denied!
And it doesn't hurt to admit it. Wu Haogu is now the founder of the Confucian positivist school, and he is a great Confucian. And Mi Youren is the eldest disciple of Wu Haogu, and Fan Zhiwen is the eldest disciple of Mi Youren......
"Good!" Wu Haogu smiled, "You are the first to stand up, and you are worthy of being my apprentice." Wait for a while to pass the test, and you will be the head of the Tamna Evangelistic Mission. ”
The first to stand up and be the head of the regiment?
Doctoral students who didn't come forward regret it! The head of the mission is an official himself......
"Students want to ......"
"Students are willing to go to Tamna!"
"Willing to go!"
“……”
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the doctoral students followed up one after another, and soon more than a dozen doctoral students who followed Mi Youren in all took a step forward.
Although it was a little reluctant, Wu Haogu still showed a satisfied smile - this was a small step for them personally, but it was a big step for Huaxia Confucianism.
"Good!" Wu Haogu nodded and said, "It is really a great blessing for my Confucian sect that you are willing to come forward and spread the road in the island country.
Of course, preaching is not something that can be done in the short term, but as long as we can establish a academy in Tamna, rent a port, open a trading market, and bring back the letter of the Lord of Tamna, it will be a great achievement, and the Son of Heaven will be greatly rewarded. ”
Wu Haogu is a great Confucian, and the great Confucianism is to convince people with virtue. So he wouldn't send a fleet to occupy Tamna – and he didn't have a fleet to send, so he took the approach of soft and then hard.
At the outset, it is necessary to lower the profile, not to pursue a nominal vassal state, and to establish a thankless tributary system. Rather, it is necessary to pursue practical interests, such as opening academies, opening commercial markets, building ports, and so on. In order to achieve these goals, the means can be flexible, and don't be reluctant to give bribes!
And after gaining the power to open academies, open merchant markets, and build ports, they must secretly strengthen their power, and at the same time further infiltrate the objects of preaching—with money or Confucian avenues! Military preparations also began at this time. For example, building fortress-like academies, recruiting local mercenaries, and winning over undesirable local magnates, etc......
Of course, the key to military preparation is that Dr. Evangelism himself must have force! They must be warriors before they can lead a protracted battle.
Therefore, what worries Wu Haogu the most is that the first doctor of Yuntai Academy is too weak, after all, they are not from the Six Arts Academy, and they are not the doctors of Liaoguo who are as heavy on martial arts and light as big stones.
Although the Tamna country they are going to is also very weak, but the performance can't be too bad, right? At least you can go a few rounds with a girl surnamed Wanyan like Luo Hanwen, right? “
"Let's get started!"
Wu Haogu waved his hand and announced the start of the assessment.
The assessment items are also very simple, that is, single shield swordsmanship - this is a real traditional Chinese martial art, but it is different from the martial arts of the civet fox whistle in the later TV series, it is all stupid kung fu. As soon as the twenty or thirty pounds of protective gear and leather armor were worn, a wooden sword weighing more than ten pounds and a leather shield of about the same weight were taken. Then use the "strike", "stab", "grid", "wash" (refers to attacking with the blade) and the four mother swordsmanship (mother swordsmanship means that there are several sub-techniques under one big technique) to use the long sword, and cooperate with the renyi rattan shield (a kind of round shield) to fight. This is definitely a physical work, without a little of the elegant fairy spirit of a swordsman, it is completely a solid kung fu in the battle array.
In a real battle, it is difficult to win in the face of a warrior wearing armor, holding a rattan shield, and wielding a long sword.
Fan Zhiwen has to be two years early, and he can't play this set of equipment at all. But now he can wear it and play for an hour - this is a lot of exercise, and nine out of ten people in the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion can't play. However, Fan Zhiwen's ancestor can at least be fully dressed in battle for a whole day!
And now the Luohan maid who is fighting against Fan Zhiwen, because she has maintained a lot of exercise since she was a child, and she has a natural good body, it is no problem to play for three hours. In addition, the Luohan maid was instructed by the famous teacher Olga in the end, and the posture of using the shield and sword is very good. Because she is now leather armor and holding a shield, she does not use the two mother swordsmanship of "grid" and "wash" (the washing sword technique is used to attack unarmored targets), but uses the techniques of "hitting" and "stabbing", and frequently attacks under the cover of the shield.
Fan Zhiwen was able to parry at the beginning, using shields and wooden swords to shield and block, preventing the opponent's stabs and hits, and in addition to defense, he could also make a few moves - of course, he would also be able to withstand the arhat maid, if he was replaced by Zhou Yunqing, who served as the referee, he would be put down with one move......
However, Luo Han Maiden still quickly tried out the opponent's hole cards, and then accelerated the speed of the attack, the wooden sword in her hand stabbed frequently, and it was very forceful, and it made a piercing sound of "dangdang" when it intersected with Fan Zhiwen's wooden sword.
"Teacher, Congbin can't resist!" Mi Youren, who was standing next to Wu Haogu, was born as a general, so he practiced since he was a child, and when he was in the Yuntai Academy, he asked the swordsman a lot of advice, although the kung fu in his hands was not very good, but his vision was still very accurate.
His words fell, and Zhou Yunqing, who served as the referee, had already shouted loudly: "Luohan wins!" ”
Wu Haogu hurriedly looked over and found that Luo Hanwen and Fan Zhiwen's swords had hit each other. However, Luo Han stabbed Fan Zhiwen in the chest, and Fan Zhiwen's sword slashed at Luo Han Wan's shoulder.
In the face of an opponent in armor, sword slashes are basically ineffective, and only blows and stabs can cause damage. Moreover, the distance between the stab and the blow is closer than the slash, so it is the Luohan maid who hits the opponent first. If Luo Han was holding a real sword, Fan Zhiwen would probably be dead, and he would not have had a chance to slash his opponent at all.
"Good!" Wu Haogu still nodded with satisfaction, "Congbin, your martial arts are improving very quickly!" This kind of swordsmanship is enough to deal with the enemies on Tamna Island!
Now, next! ”
