Ji Tang

Chapter 1119 Top Hundred
Because there are so many people, according to the plan, it will take half a month to complete the assessment.Although he will not be dismissed, what Datang needs is talents who can take charge of their own affairs.They need to be able to adapt to the army in a very short period of time and contribute to the Tang Dynasty.Otherwise, why go to such trouble for national selection?

Therefore, the imperial court must go through layers of assessments to select these outstanding individuals.

The people of Chang'an have been blessed these days, especially the young ladies who are waiting for marriage. They are dancing with excitement.I heard from family members that these people are all talented people selected from all over the world, and they are all one-of-a-kind people.

Not only is his life experience pure, but he also has great abilities!
Of course, the eyes of the young ladies in Chang'an are not comparable to those of people from small places. What they want is not ordinary people. Only the top [-] or even top [-] people who win the competition can catch their eyes.

Of course, before that, watching young men full of masculinity is an indispensable program.

The second test was to go around the city wall, but it was impossible for more than 3 people to run together in a swarm, so they were divided into teams of [-] people and ran in batches.In order to test the authenticity, Li Shimin even sent sixteen soldiers from the capital to maintain order.

After all, there are tens of thousands of young people, and they are all capable young people. If something happens, no one will be able to bear the responsibility!

The people in the Central Plains have always loved to watch the excitement since ancient times, because outside the city, the place is spacious. As long as they don't cause trouble, the people can have a look if they want. Everyone is tolerant about this.

Whenever someone wins, the cheers of the people and ladies outside make the contestants feel like they are sitting in the clouds, and it arouses their competitive spirit.

How have people from small places ever seen such a scene?When I saw the little ladies dressed like fairies, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself.

"Asshole, what kind of words are you talking about? Look at how useless they all are. It's so shameful! It's so shameful!"

When Ji Song and others accompanied the emperor to the competition site in disguise and saw such a scene, Li Shimin blew his beard and stared in anger.Tu'e was even more furious after seeing a person who even forgot about the competition after seeing the beauty!
"Your Majesty, it is human nature for young people to admire Ai, so why should you be angry?"

Fang Xuanling, who has retired, has been in better health recently and was pulled out by the emperor today.Hearing the emperor's words, he smiled and said.

"Humph, I just hate them for not fighting. As long as they make military exploits, what kind of woman doesn't? If the enemy comes up with a honey trap on the battlefield, they have to surrender directly?"

After saying that, he glared at Ji Song fiercely and said angrily: "Looking at your bad idea, I am selecting warriors, not wives for them. I don't know what to say!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Ji Song, who had no choice but to lay down his gun, could only say: "I have no choice, but the girl from Chang'an is too enthusiastic, so I can't stop her!"

After saying that, he pointed to a woman who was dancing the most happily not far away and said: "Now, I have lost all my face. My family is unfortunate!"

When Li Shimin saw it, he immediately became happy.Isn't that person just a kitten?
"I'm not telling you. Look, the little girls in Chang'an have been led astray by the You family's kittens. Is that person next to you from the Yuchi family? There's also the Cheng family, oh, the eldest grandson's family is here too! "

Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Changsun Wuji nodded helplessly, not forgetting to glare at Ji Song when they were done.It seems to be saying, look at the good things your girl has done!

He was not happy this time and said angrily: "How come it has become my kitten's problem?"

He pointed at Changsun's daughter and said, "What's the point of hitting people with stones?"

Then he pointed at the Cheng family's daughter and said, "Look, he even threw the handkerchief out."

After saying this, he gloated: "I see, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Maybe after this competition, Chang'an will have a few more happy events."

"Shut up you!"

Changsun Wuji had a dark face, especially when he saw his girl hitting people with stones as if no one was watching. His face was even more dark.

Hearing Ji Song's words, Li Shimin was thoughtful, and he had finally figured it out in the past few days.There are really a lot of talents here.There are several people who are particularly outstanding. Whether it is riding, shooting, or physical fitness, they are much better than others.

Then they sent someone to check, and found that many of them were generals from the Han clan, and their ancestors had produced many generals in the past.One of them, Gao Chongwen, was a descendant of the Bohai Gao family and was 22 years old at the time.Not only was he born tall and powerful, I heard that he often studied military law and strategy with Gao Kan, the Duke of Pingyuan County.

There are Guo Daifeng, son of Guo Xiaoke, and Ashina Daozhen, son of Ashina Sheer.

Lou Shide was born in Wuyuan, Cheng Wuting was born in Ping'en County, Mingzhou, and his father was Cheng Mingzhen.There is also a person named Liu Cheng in Guizhou, Hebei, but his identity is doubtful and has not been found out until now.

There is a Baekje man with long black teeth, who is so skilled in bow and arrow shooting that he can be called a vulture shooter on the grassland.

There are Lu Yaozong, a descendant of the Lu family in Jiangdong, Zhou Chengzu, a descendant of the Zhou family, and Xiao Zheng, a descendant of the Xiao family.There are countless descendants of the Pei family, the Lu family, and small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Hebei.

Thinking that these people are rare talents, as long as they are trained properly, it will not be difficult to become the pillars of the imperial court in the future.

He is now completely at ease. At first he thought it would be good to have three or five talents, but now it seems that he has underestimated the world's heroes.Just as Ji Song said that day.There are so many heroes in the world, they just lack an opportunity!

"Do you think this kind of selection can become a formal way for the imperial court to select generals?"

Li Shimin said suddenly on a whim.

"This"

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"His Majesty!"

Ji Song smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you can't use all your strength, you can't do everything. This time, the imperial court really lacks talents, so it's all over the world to select. This time, there are tens of thousands of people, which has exhausted the world's resources. .”

"Even if we are selected in the future, it will never be as good as this time. I suggest that local officials recommend people with real talents to study at the Army Academy."

"As for such a large-scale selection, Cheng believes that there shouldn't be too many. Too much will overflow, overflow will lead to fullness, and fullness will lead to chaos!"

Changsun Wuji also said at the right time: "What Duke Xi said is true. This time it is the accumulation of many years of accumulation after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty that has led to the emergence of so many talents. Don't use everything to the fullest, otherwise it will become a disaster!"

"Yes, their generation basically came through hardships. The experiences were complicated and there were many hardships. I'm afraid it will be impossible for them to be the same as they are today."

"His Majesty has established the Army Academy. He only needs to ask local officials to recommend the best among them to study in the academy every year. This will not only win their hearts, but also observe their nature up close. After being taught by the academy, they will definitely be no worse than these people!"

Li Shimin was stunned. He didn't expect that one sentence would arouse unanimous opposition from everyone.After hearing everyone's reasons, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"But I took it for granted!"

Half a month passed quickly, and the competition finally came to the final moment.

On this day, the large school grounds outside the east gate were crowded with hundreds of thousands of people.In order to maintain law and order, Li Ji even dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to stay on guard!

"His Majesty is here!"

"Every official welcomes you!"

Just when everyone was almost ready, Li Shimin and his officials arrived late!

"My ministers welcome you, Your Majesty!"

"Ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty!" "Ten thousand years of Your Majesty!"

Looking at the crowd in darkness, Li Shimin loudly shouted: "Everyone is safe!"

"All the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, please be free!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin did not sit down, but stepped forward and looked at the tens of thousands of warriors of the Tang Dynasty and hundreds of thousands of people, and said: "The big thieves deceived us and there is no one in the Tang Dynasty. Instead of thinking of lessons in the naval battle in the South China Sea, they are ready to make moves in the Western Regions!"

"However, the Western Region has not long been stable, and there are more children than adults who are crying for food. Although there are countless young men and women who can serve as soldiers, the Western Region is at a time of rest and recuperation, and I cannot bear to waste food due to choking and kill chickens to obtain eggs."

"That's why this nationwide troop selection was launched!"

He said with some emotion: "Before, the Tang Dynasty only recruited troops from the north, and rarely recruited troops from other places. People say that the people in the north are strong and tough, and they are the first choice for recruiting troops. I also believe it!"

After hearing this, many people who came were very reluctant, and some even shouted, "We are not bad at all."

Seeing Ultramarine's anger, Li Ji couldn't sit still. He wanted to step forward but was stopped by Ji Song!
"Watch carefully. What big scene has your Majesty not seen before? Where are you now?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment. Seeing the motionless emperor, he suddenly thought of something, so he sat down calmly.The moment the emperor spoke, some people already knew what the emperor wanted to do.

Li Shimin's hands were seen emptying the case, and the originally boiling scene seemed to have been put on hold. The entire school grounds fell silent.

"You are all very good, really very good!"

Li Shimin loudly said: "Before this, someone advised: The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty for the people of the world and the Tang Dynasty for all people. Too much blood has been shed for the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong, Longxi, Hebei and Shuzhong. Every time they are recruited, They are all piercing my heart!"

"I am heartbroken, but there is nothing I can do!"

He said excitedly: "But some people say that the Tang Dynasty has never lacked heroes, let alone heroes."

"Looking at you, I understand!"

"I understand your thoughts, and even more importantly, I understand your wishes!"

He waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Today, I saw the passionate warriors, I saw you who defended the country from hundreds of families, and I also saw your courage to fight the enemy bravely."

"I very much hope that you can use your own skills to take away the glory that belongs to you from me, and immediately become a marquis and make achievements. This is not a legend that is far away from me."

Guo Daifeng heard his blood boiling below. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he immediately roared: "I will live up to your majesty's expectations. We will fight the enemy bravely and never back down, letting the cannibals know the majesty of my Tang Dynasty! "

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"
-
For a moment, the school grounds were filled with excitement, everyone was roaring, and everyone was cheering.The foreign envoys who were invited to watch the ceremony were even more trembling in their hearts, and their bodies were so frightened that they trembled with fear!
"Yes, what a simple child!" Ji Song shook his head. "

"Shut up, you!"

Li Chengqian happened to hear this and glared at Ji Song angrily.

Li Shimin turned around to the high platform, sat down and said to Li Ji, "Let's begin!"

"The minister obeys the order!"
-
As early as three days ago, everyone passed the three-level assessment. There were more than 1 people with a score of [-] or above, which meant that nearly [-] people could not become regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and could only start as auxiliary soldiers.

The imperial court gave these people two sets of plans. One was to stay in the army and go to the Western Regions to support them. As long as they could reach Anxi, they would be given the status of regular soldiers, and their salary would be halved during this period.The second is to return to the local area and work in Zhechong Mansion, which is also a regular soldier.

But what is surprising is that less than 1000% of the people are willing to return to the place, which means that less than [-] people are willing to return to the place to serve as soldiers, and everyone else is willing to go to Anxi.

It was this choice that allowed Li Shimin to see the determination and aspirations of a thousand people he had ignored.

They are eager for military success, eager to go to the battlefield, and they cherish this opportunity!

In this case, why should he refuse?
This is why everyone who arrives in Anxi is given the status of a regular soldier. This is also to appease the winner.

Now, the top [-] selected talents are standing at the front, and from now on, their starting point will be far greater than those behind them.The emperor had discussed the arrangements for the first hundred people yesterday with them.

These people will be the key training targets. After the finals, No. 1 will be appointed to the position of Xiaoqi Lieutenant and Lieutenant Colonel of the Army.Two or three temporary acting school captains.Ten to No. 4 are directly appointed as camp commanders, while No. [-] to No. [-] are appointed as team captains, corps commanders, or even commanders.

For the children of princes and nobles, this may not be anything, but for a white body, this will be a stage for them to show their abilities.Although Shi Chang is small, he is still the head of a combat unit.Although the captain is not high, he still has the right to fight alone.

Following Li Ji's order, everyone began to draw lots.

The final ranking assessment will test their comprehensive ability.Cavalry and archery are just the basics, arranging troops, commanding operations, and strategic tactics are today's themes.

For this reason, Li Shimin even ordered the creation of dozens of sandbox simulations of previous local battles, and conducted sandbox simulations with two people representing the enemy and ourselves.

Finally, write a policy essay. There is no limit to the content. You can write anything.

The drawing of lots was completed quickly, because the emperor and the civil and military officials were all above, and no one dared to whisper to each other for fear of being seen and leaving a bad impression.They have passed five levels and defeated six generals to get here, but they don't want to lose this opportunity because of a little carelessness.

Because the people watching were far away, it was impossible to hear the sound of the deduction, so they could only guess on their own. Some people even set up a bet and gave the odds, which pushed the competition to a climax.

"Good boy! Who is this Hei Te Changzhi? The odds are so low?"

Someone saw that a person named Heiji Changzhi had only one point odds. Calculating the odds against Heiji Changzhi, the most he could win against Heiji Changzhi was about a hundred cash.

The lower the odds, the more it shows that the bookmaker is optimistic about this black-toothed man, and that he has a high probability of winning.

"Hey, you don't know this, right?"

Someone who knew the details, after waiting for everyone to hang up, said with a smile: "This man is from Baekje, that is, he is now from the Andong Protectorate. I heard that this man is more than nine feet tall, with a pair of arms like ape arms, covering his knees." . The five-stone heavy bow is like child's play. A few days ago, someone in the city saw this man shooting down the wild geese flying in the sky. This move can be compared to the eagle shooter on the grassland. "

"There were not many people like this even when the Turks dominated the grasslands, let alone now? With such a person, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the top three are just like picking something out of a bag."

“As for number one”

The man shook his head and said, "It depends on luck."
