Chapter 302 The butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger (please subscribe)
This year's martial arts competition is indeed much more intense than before.

I heard that the number of people participating in the Wu Xiucai assessment alone was more than three times higher than before.

In other words, those who can pass Wu Xiucai's assessment are already quite good in their own right.

Since ancient times, we have been adhering to the saying that "no one is first in literature and no second in martial arts". If you don't have two skills to participate in martial arts, you will be humiliating yourself.

Whether you have real skills or not, you can easily tell by showing off your skills, and you can’t do anything fake.

This has also led to the fact that the strength of the guys who participated in the martial arts examination has generally improved by one or two levels than before, and the competition has become more intense.

People like Han Qi bluntly said in front of Jia Huan that he was not very sure!
It's not that he is cowardly, but he knows that Jia Huan is a real master and there is no competition with him at all. Is it understandable to talk about what is on your mind and vent your tension?

At the end, the guy complained jokingly: "This time, I was tricked by Brother Huan. I don't know if all the years of preparation will work!"

"It seems like it has nothing to do with me?"

Jia Huan was naturally very relaxed. After hearing Han Qi's "cautious" complaints, he said angrily: "Don't put any hat on my head, I won't accept it!"

"Brother Huan may not know that General Jia Congjia's demonstration effect is too eye-catching!"

Han Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, when our noble sons entered the army, they took the route of being soldiers!"

"As a result, the appearance of General Jia allowed everyone to see a faster and more stable promotion route!"

"No, everyone wants to imitate and become the next General Jia. The number of participants in this martial arts competition is several times more than before!"

“If there are more people participating, there will naturally be many good players among them!”

Having said this, the guy couldn't help but smile bitterly, pretending to be innocently implicated.

Of course, there is one thing he has not said yet, which is also one of the most critical factors.

That is why the Daqian Empire has frequently used troops recently, which is where warriors like them come into play.

The northwest border is in turmoil, and the northeast is also uneasy!

Now, conflicts have broken out even in the southwest!
That is to say, the noble disciples have good information channels and know in advance that there is something going on in the southwest border.

All fools know that this is a great opportunity for warriors to get ahead!
Of course, Jia Cong’s demonstration effect is also quite obvious!
In the past, the way for nobles' sons to enter the army was quite simple. They basically entered the personal guard of a certain general through connections. After getting familiar with the specific situation of this team, they will be transferred from the Guards to the grassroots level as officers, or to the middle level as deputies.

If there is no war, then we have to fight against the forces and background behind it.

Even if they have to endure hardships, generals who come from noble families have better chances of getting ahead than ordinary people with no background.

Jingying here has basically become a paradise for related households!
Children of ordinary people with no background can only go to the frontier army to fight if they want to get ahead.

You have to be lucky to meet a boss who is particular about it, otherwise even if you achieve military success, you will basically have no share of it, and it will be quite difficult to get ahead.

Of course, the border army still pays more attention to strength.

Under normal circumstances, generals would not go too far. After all, they often faced attacks from barbarians outside the Great Wall.

If you act too carelessly or unfairly and your brothers are unwilling to sacrifice their lives, then you will have a lot of fun at the critical moment. Therefore, the most common military generals are from the frontier army. Of course, their strength and ability are not blown away. , was achieved through hard work.

In the past, martial arts competitions were not too eye-catching. The key was that there was no good flagpole figure!
Just like the direct descendants of the Ning Mansion, who can spend money to easily enter the Dragon Guard's gilding, the previous martial arts seems to be used by the noble descendants to gild.

Jia Huan was deeply touched by this!

Jia Cong participated in martial arts competitions before, and his martial arts and military strategy abilities were absolutely no problem.

But when it comes to the final competition for the top few Wu Jinshi, you need to discuss with other noble families to determine the quota.

To put it bluntly, the top spots in the martial arts competitions are basically monopolized by the Xungui family.

It is not impossible for a martial artist with an ordinary background to cross the class through martial arts, but if he just wants to obtain the maximum benefit, it is not as simple as his own strength.

Unless you have overwhelming strength!

But it is not that simple and easy for a martial artist with an ordinary background to have a powerful being with outstanding talents, and training is also essential.

How could they possibly compare to the noble disciples who have a lot of resources?

Of course, with Jia Cong's rapid rise, the situation has changed dramatically.

It can be said that the sudden increase of several times the number of candidates today is the best response.

As long as you are not blind, you can see the bright future of Jia Cong from a martial arts background through his rise to power!
As long as you seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to imitate Jia Cong's path to success!

As for the noble disciples, they are even more excited!

As long as their own strength is not bad, once they are admitted to the Wu Jinshi, their status will not be too bad.

If he were to be placed outside, even if he wasn't as lucky as Jia Cong, he still couldn't escape the position of President Qian or a fake President Qian.

As long as you make enough military exploits, it's not difficult to get promoted quickly!
The key is that what they need to deal with is only the banditry in Daqian territory, and it is not the era of refugees in the late Ming Dynasty. It would be too easy to just suppress the bandits.

What Jia Cong can do, they think they can do too!
How could Jia Huan not know about these situations even if Han Qi didn't tell them?
"Brother Han, I think the more people participating in martial arts, the better!"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "If we stand out like this, wouldn't it make our strength even more obvious?"

"Brother Huan is very confident!"

The corner of Han Qi's mouth twitched and he smiled awkwardly: "I don't have that much confidence!"

"You can't. I think Brother Han is quite energetic. He must be confident!"

"It's not that I'm being modest, I really don't have much confidence!"

Han Qi said helplessly: "Brother Huan must have figured out what's going on in the Jinxiang Hou Mansion!"

"My previous thoughts were a bit simplistic. I thought that if I had been quietly honing my martial arts skills, I would be able to make a splash in the martial arts competitions, thereby getting rid of the possible constraints of the government!"

"Who would have known that the emergence of General Jia Congjia would attract many warriors to participate in the martial arts competition. The difficulty suddenly increased several times. I really don't know what to do!"

Seeing Jia Huan's disbelief, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "If I just pass the Wu Jinshi exam, I have a lot of confidence, but if I fail to pass the Wu Jinshi exam, won't all my previous forbearance be in vain?"

"Don't be so frustrated!"

Jia Huan smiled and encouraged: "If you are confident that you will be admitted to the martial arts examination, then the probability of being admitted to the martial arts examination is not small. There is no need to be so discouraged!"

Han Qi just smiled and shook his head without saying anything else.

Tsk!
Jia Huan couldn't help but chuckle, and reminded leisurely: "What I mean is, as long as there are no problems with the marriage between your sister-in-law and my second brother Bao, Brother Han's troubles are just pediatrics!" Han Qi's eyes widened. Liang, immediately reacted, and the look on his face was a little different.

"Brother Huan, don't fool me, I don't have many chances!"

"What are you doing, Meng Qin? As long as Rongfu is willing to give you a hand, it won't be easy to get rid of the constraints of Jinxiang Houfu?"

Jia Huan said angrily: "Of course, you have to be aware of it. There is no need to think too much about the resources of the Hou Mansion for the time being!"

"If Brother Han doesn't make a big enough name, the resources of the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion and even the title will have little to do with you. You have to fight hard to earn it all by yourself!"

"That's all it can do!"

Han Qi let out a long sigh, nodded and said with a wry smile: "Brother Huan is just kidding!"

"What joke am I seeing?"

Jia Huan sneered: "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. It just depends on how you recite it?"

"When it comes to your situation, you, the legitimate son of the Hou family, are better than me, the concubine of the Duke's family!"

"The predicament I encountered is one that is absolutely unimaginable to you, Brother Han. There is no comparison at all!"

"Look at me now, haven't I also become famous, just waiting for my martial arts competition to fly to the sky?"

"The key is to be strong yourself, everything else is just a cloud, don't take it too seriously!"

At this point, Jia Huan stretched out his hand and casually said, "Speaking of which, compared to noble children like you and me who come from a wealthy family, it is obviously more difficult for the warriors with ordinary backgrounds here!"

"At least we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Even the resources for martial arts training are not much different. We can always find a way to solve it!"

"But for warriors from ordinary backgrounds, the pressure to survive is incredibly high, let alone having to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. It's even more difficult for them!"

"When Brother Huan said this, I felt a lot more relaxed!"

Han Qi smiled slightly and said what was in his heart at the moment.

He felt that he was indeed being a little pretentious, and what Jia Huan said was very reasonable.

Compared with noble disciples like them, it is obviously more difficult for those warriors with ordinary backgrounds to get ahead in martial arts. This is the cruel reality.

"Then work hard. I hope Brother Han will perform normally!"

Jia Huan smiled leisurely, waved his hand and said goodbye to Han Qi. He saw several other acquaintances.

Watching Jia Huan leave, Han Qi felt much better at this time.

Even if he saw his troublesome brother-in-law wandering outside the examination room, he no longer had the same anxious and unhappy mood as before.

Jia Huan didn't know that Han Xuan, the concubine of Jinxiang Hou Mansion, was so weird that he secretly came to the martial arts examination room for a stroll. At this time, he had already met Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan.

In other words, in the original work of Red Mansions. None of them participated in martial arts?

Wei Ruolan directly followed his father to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and was eventually tricked to death by the Nan'an County Prince who had high ambitions but low power, and his father also died on the battlefield.

Speaking of the Prince of Nan'an, he is definitely a typical example of trash, a trash with gold and jade inside.

He was in charge of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Southern Xinjiang, and he was a veritable king of Southern Xinjiang. However, during the battle with the small neighboring country Qianxiang Country, he not only lost all his troops, but also became a prisoner of other countries.

And the title and immense power of Prince Nan'an are also in his hands!
Of course, based on the information Jia Huan knew and his own speculation, there must be secret information that outsiders didn't know, and it sounded like a conspiracy.

Not to mention anything else, the reaction of both the imperial court and the Nan'an County Prince's Palace after the defeat was abnormal.

First of all, the imperial court directly intends to resolve the dispute between the two countries through marriage. It is extremely embarrassing!
Anyway, based on Jia Huan's guess about the current emperor's character, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing like slapping himself in the face.

At this time, the Daqian Dynasty was at its peak in the middle of the dynasty, and was not yet beyond its capabilities in all aspects.

If Jia Huan were in the position of emperor, his first reaction would definitely be to send troops to regain face!
By the way, the southern Xinjiang that Nan'an County King has always controlled will be brought under the control of the imperial court through war, instead of becoming a country within a country like before!

This alone is a huge cost. As long as the goal can be achieved in the end, no matter what, you have to work hard. This is the most normal reaction.

In addition, the best way to deal with the defeated and captured Nan'an County King is to let him die quietly!

As for rescuing her through marriage, don’t even think about such a good thing!
Because this guy was defeated and captured, he made a pretty bad head!

It was a grand national war, and what it meant for the commander-in-chief of the army to be captured was definitely an unacceptable fact for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Not to mention, it was only the king of the opposite sex who was captured. A normal emperor would not want him to come back alive.

If there is a national war in the future, how about the other generals imitating this?
Not only was the current emperor's reaction very strange, but the Nan'an County Prince's reaction was also quite strange.

If we follow normal thinking, shouldn't the Nan'an County Prince's Palace immediately abandon the defeated and captured Nan'an County Prince, directly select his heirs to succeed him quickly, and then find every way to reduce the losses.

Unless Prince Nan'an is the only Miaomiao in the palace, there is no need to rescue him at all!

After being rescued, for the Nan'an County Prince's Palace, as long as this person lives for one day, the County Prince's Palace will not be able to raise his head.

Not to mention that the old concubine of Nan'an County Prince's Palace loves her son deeply, do you really think that the aloof old concubine is not a political creature?
After rescuing the Prince of Nan'an, he was just waiting to be demoted to a commoner and let the title of Prince Nan'an disappear completely.

But if the Prince of Nan'an County reacts in time and joins forces with other relatives to help, even if he will be severely punished and his title will be demoted again and again, at least he will be able to retain a low- to mid-level title and still have the opportunity for revival. This is the best option. Normal operation, right?

After all, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, and Prince Nan'an has already paid a sufficient price!
But unfortunately, not only the court, but also the Nan'an County Prince's Palace behaved very strangely. If there were no problems here, even a fool would not believe it.

Of course, these are just some speculations made by Jia Huan in his spare time, and there are countless things he can do.

The current Prince of Nan'an County is not sure what influence he has had. He has not mobilized all his men to invade Qianxiang Kingdom, so naturally no major war has broken out.

This point is very different from the original work of Red Mansions.

Jia Huan didn't know what exactly caused the accident, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it for the time being.

In short, there are more and more situations that are different from the original work of Red Mansions. He naturally knows that it is because he has been reborn for a long time and the butterfly effect is greater.

In fact it is so!

After communicating with Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan for a while, Jia Huan found out that the reason why they participated in the martial arts competition was similar to the reason Han Qi had complained about before, and was affected by Jia Cong's infinite performance.

At the same time, I suddenly realized that entering the military through martial arts examinations was also a pretty good choice. Not long after, everyone was very confident.

　These past few days, I have been either visiting relatives or attending wedding banquets, so I really don’t have much experience to update, so I’m sorry.
