Zhu Daming didn't think too much about the question of the chief examiner of the Enke Examination in the first year of Chongzhen, in his opinion, Xu Guangqi's Western background is more suitable than others to select the talents he wants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Daming wanted to learn from the world, not the literati doctors who only wrote articles about morality in the Hanlin Academy.

Facts have also proved that in the past, those who presided over the imperial examination were all authentic Confucian ministers, and there were many Confucian master-level figures, but how useful were the selected scholars.

In history, this subject was presided over by Zhou Yanru, but Zhu Daming did not intend to reuse Zhou Yanru, so it was impossible for him to preside over it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Daming continued: "As for the president of Wuju, Sun Aiqing will do it, and the vice president will be Li Aiqing, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Zhang Weixian, the British minister. Be sure to select a group of martial artists with real talent and real learning for me. ”

When Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua heard this, they immediately bowed down and thanked them. Being able to become the president of the imperial examination is a dream that these people have had since they were admitted to the Jinjin Shigong and became officials, but few people can make their dreams come true.

Seeing that Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong, and Li Banghua were all a little excited, Zhu Daming continued: "Presiding over the imperial examination, whether it sounds glamorous, also means a great responsibility. Since you have received the order, you must fulfill your responsibilities. It is the rule of the imperial court to take the eight shares, but I think that this time Enke should pay attention to the selection of talents who can be used in the world, and the kung fu of the scriptures and meanings must of course be seen, but the status of the strategy theory should be improved. ”

Xu Guangqi listened to the order and hurriedly received the order, this is also what he has been thinking for many years, so naturally there is no reason to agree.

Then, Zhu Daming said: "Anyone in the world can go to Beijing to take the examination, if they can't go to Beijing to take the examination because of their poor family, all the state officials in the world have the obligation to help, and all travel expenses are supported by the government, and no one who is interested in serving the imperial court will miss the opportunity because of his poor family." In previous years, the imperial court admitted more than 300 students, but this time, since it is called Enke, I am determined to take enough 500 people, so that no one of the available talents will be left outside the imperial court system. ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed many literati who were thieves and took refuge in Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, and set up official positions for them and pacified the people, but most of them were famous people, such as Niu Jinxing and Li Yan, and few Jinshi were thieves, at least before Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, few real Jinshi took refuge in Li Zicheng.

Because it is not an exaggeration for a person to read Jinshi, he is generally a vested interest in the Ming Dynasty system, or the ruling class. What can you get by taking refuge in the new dynasty like this? What's more, when I read the Jinshi and the first, the Confucian loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are basically deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and they will become the most conscious and firm defenders of the current system.

Of course, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and the general trend of the Ming Dynasty had gone, the literati Jinshi surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was another matter. At present, all Zhu Daming can do is to try his best to bring the world's talents to the side of the imperial court, even if they will not be needed for a while, they cannot be allowed to finally go to the opposite side of the imperial court and help the thieves to rebel.

For example, people like Niu Jinxing were originally the new imperial examination in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, but later they were not admitted to the Jinshi examination, and they did not become officials, so they had to open a private school in their hometown Baofeng and teach students.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng took the peasant army to hide in the Lu Mountains in the border area of Henan and Shaanxi, and Niu Jinxing, who was deprived of his fame, naturally became an opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

If Niu Jinxing was admitted to Jinshi, would he still go to Li Zicheng? Or even if he was not deprived of his fame, he would not be disappointed in the Ming court to the point of despair.

Of course, some people will say, this kind of person who couldn't get into the Jinshi, and you let him be admitted to the Jinshi, isn't that disrespectful to the imperial examination system? There seems to be some truth to this. However, each imperial examination admits more than 200 and nearly 300 jinshi, and at least half of them are useless and incompetent.

Besides, if the Ming Dynasty perished, what use would Zhu Daming have to ask those Jinshi who wrote flowery articles. Or recruiting 200 people may not be able to recruit people like Niu Jinxing and Li Yan, but that is not a problem for Zhu Daming to consider.

In any case, recruit 200 more people, Zhu Daming has at least 200 more natural allies and followers, and maybe there are some available talents, such as the famous Song Yingxing in later generations, Wanli 43 years in high school, the next ten years to enter Beijing five times to catch the exam, each time failed the list, and finally had to be a county in Jiangxi as a teacher.

In the first year of Chongzhen, that is, the next year, in 1628 AD, Song Yingxing, together with his elder brother Song Yingsheng, participated in the fourth and fourth of the five failed examinations in his life.

Of course, in this time and space, Zhu Daming will not let him fail. If among the two hundred extra people, even if only Song Yingxing is useful, it will be worth it.

The four ministers are all from a ten-year background, so they naturally know how important it is for a literati to be admitted to the Jinshi. The emperor is willing to record more, and for the world Shilin, this is definitely the greatest good governance in the first year of Chongzhen. In that case, who is willing to oppose it, and who dares to oppose it.

In the praise of the four ministers, Zhu Daming continued: "The same is true of martial arts. The will of the imperial court to reopen the martial arts will also be announced at the ceremony of changing the yuan. Beijing camp and nine border towns, from the soldier to the official, by the town supervisor army imperial history first selection, through the selection can enter Beijing to take the examination, the five military governor's office examination first take 300 people, all awarded the martial arts people, the military examination by the military aircraft department in conjunction with the military department is responsible, the selection of 200 people, all awarded the martial arts background. Non-commissioned officers and military attachés, the north and south of the country, and all provinces in the world should select and recommend a number of military officers to go to Beijing to take the examination, and the number of places is not limited. ”

After saying this, Zhu Daming looked at Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, both of whom bowed down to receive the order. For both of them, that's a good thing.

Sun Chengzong once supervised Ji Liao, and knew the situation in the army very well, most of the military attaches were hereditary, and some were born with thousands of households, hundreds of households, and even commanders, governors and other military general ranks, but they couldn't get on horses, couldn't bow Zhang, didn't understand anything, how could they not defeat the battle if they handed over the army to such people. At the same time, they also know that there are many soldiers who are brave in battle and excellent in martial arts, but there is no way to be promoted, and they have always sunk into subordinates. Now that the emperor is making a big move, it is tantamount to opening the step for these fierce generals to enter the body, and it will not be unavailable in the future.
