Chapter 268 The B-word roll is being deposited

As soon as Feng Ziying said these words, Fan Jingwen, Zheng Chongjian, Wu Zong, Fang Youdu and others were all refreshed.

If Feng Ziying is really right, the meaning will be very different. And if we want to talk about the understanding of border military affairs, I am afraid that there are not many in the entire academy and even the entire Northland Academy who can have a profound understanding of Feng Ziying, let alone the South. Those academicians are here.

“Ziying, but we don’t know much about this situation.” Fang Youdu was almost impatient.

"Well, I will use this time tonight to talk about my knowledge and understanding of border military affairs and some of my own opinions. I don't know if I can cover it up. Anyway, it doesn't hurt for everyone to understand this." Feng Ziying He smiled, appearing to be an understatement.

However, Lian Guoshi and Feng Ziying had a close relationship, but they knew him. The more he behaved like this, the more confident Feng Ziying felt in her heart, and she became more curious in her heart: "Ziying, could it be that just based on the words of Zhao Zejiao and Jurchen?" Does the tribute group's entry into Beijing make you so sure?"

"Brother Jun Yu, don't say anything about being sure. I have already said it. It is just a feeling. Of course, there must be some basis. For example, the Jurchen Tribute Group is so arrogant. It is impossible for the Ministry of War not to know. Brother Chu Cai has already I have reported it to the chief officer of the Ministry of War many times. Brother Jun Yu doesn’t know that although the current Minister of the Ministry of War is Xiao Daheng, who can actually speak to the emperor?"

Feng Ziying's rhetorical question made Lian Guoshi reluctant to answer: "Master Zhang, Zuo Shilang."

Students like Wu Gang, Fang Youdu, and Zheng Chongjian who came from ordinary families knew nothing about these situations. Even Fan Jingwen was only vaguely aware of the current discord within the Ministry of War. Xiao Daheng, the minister, had always been a vegetarian and concurrently served as the minister of the Ministry of punishment. He is responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, but he has never given up his position as Minister of the Ministry of War, but he does not know the specific situation.

 Lian Jia was well-connected in the court, so he could not hide state affairs from Lian.

"Well, Xiao Shangshu is the chief officer of the Ministry of War, but most of the daily affairs are still in charge of Zhang Shilang. However, the military affairs of the imperial court are a bit confusing at present. Well, everyone may know the specific situation in the future." Feng Ziying did not explain, but everyone can He understood something, "But many problems within the Ministry of War are imminent. I believe that the emperor should also be aware of these worries and worries,..."

"In addition to the threat of Jianzhou Jurchen expansion, the threat from the Mongolian left wing is also increasing. That Lin Dan Khan claims to be a descendant of the golden family of the grassland. It is natural that he should unify Mongolia, and he is also eyeing our great Zhou Dynasty. He cannot What is avoided will put pressure on the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi..."

"In addition to the north and southwest, both Feixiong and Zhonglun also mentioned the instability in the southwest. Later, I also asked Brother Chucai to learn about some of the situations in the southwest. He also said that it was indeed not optimistic, especially in Guizhou. The situation was severe, and the local chieftains were worried The mountain people are being exploited too much, and the local officials lack long-term plans in handling some matters, so it feels like something is about to explode..."

"..., and there is the threat from the Japanese on the east coast. This is an old problem, but for now, it seems to be relatively stable. However, the Japanese have always coveted North Korea. If the Japanese chaos in Imjin happens again, it will be a big problem. How should Zhou respond?…”

He spoke casually and eloquently, and everyone who listened was frowning and thinking. Even if he was practicing state affairs, he did not expect that Feng Ziying knew so much about these border military affairs. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is deep, it is really impressive to say that it is so broad. An accident is definitely not something ordinary scholars can do.

"...The threats from Annan and Dongwu can only be regarded as scabies, but if they are not punished, these small states will still continue to harass Da Zhou. Da Zhou will have difficulty in focusing on dealing with other enemies, and the damage to Da Zhou's prestige will be It’s even more intolerable,…”

In one breath, he explained thoroughly about the surrounding border problems, and several people listened eagerly. If these issues were involved, even if he just added a few words with a little knowledge, compared with those scholars who did not understand them at all, In fact, it is much stronger.

It was already an hour after listening to Feng Ziying's introduction, but Feng Ziying felt that it was not enough. Since he had handed over all the details, he would send Buddha to the west.

He also talked about some of his relevant views on the threats from foreign enemies in these aspects. Wu Di, Fang Youdu, Fan Jingwen, Zheng Chongjian and others also listened and nodded repeatedly, and asked many questions. That's when they dispersed.

 When Lian Guoshi fell asleep, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Feng Ziying's magnanimity.

If ordinary people have this advantage, they must be self-conscious and self-respecting of their skills. They are deeply afraid that others will know. How can someone like Feng Ziying take the initiative to tell the truth and even help others with advice on how to deal with it.

With this kind of mind, if you ask yourself, I’m afraid I can’t even do it.

This feeling also makes Lian Guoshi's feelings for Feng Ziying more complicated. What kind of family does such a young man who is ten years younger than himself belong to, and what kind of life has he experienced to forge such a demeanor?

  ************

The Jingyi exam is not a big deal. If you can pass the Juren exam, you can basically pass the Jingyi exam as long as you don’t perform abnormally. It can be said that the Jingyi exam is more like a qualifying competition, but for students who have experienced Qiuwei , this challenge is not big.

 The most critical thing is the current policy discussion starting on February 11.

Although the imperial court has repeatedly asked the main examiner and fellow examiners to take the first two of the three policy questions seriously, there is no doubt that the last topic is still the most important to many fellow examiners and students, because according to convention, the candidates who passed the examination , only the policy answer sheet for the last question will enter the examiner's field of vision, and the ordering of the examination will generally be based on the merits of the last question.

 According to the Dazhou rules, there are two questions on the eleventh day and one question on the twelfth day, which is the theme.

On the evening of the 11th, I slept in the Gongyuan Test House. Few people could sleep well, but early the morning on the 12th, the theme test questions were officially issued.

Fang Youdu took a deep breath.

  The writing of the two subtitles is not very satisfactory. I can only say that it is average.

 He realized that Jinke might fail the exam.

In fact, he was very satisfied. Passing the exam was his biggest hope. He was even mentally prepared to take the Qiu Wei exam again. Unexpectedly, he passed the Qiu Wei exam in one go. The whole hometown was shocked. Fang's There were hundreds of people in the family, but there had never been a single candidate for the exam in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were only two or three scholars. Now Fang Youdu suddenly passed the exam. This honor was enough for him to spend a lifetime in his hometown.

But for Fang Youdu, the past few years at Qingtan Academy have made him no longer satisfied with the life of a squire in his hometown. Yes, after passing the exam, he became a matchmaker, and many of them were The wealthy gentry in the county were willing to marry their legitimate daughters to her, and one of them even fantasized about Fang Youdu in his dreams when he was studying in the countryside.

 He ​​agreed without hesitation, and after the engagement, the family took the initiative to send two maids, one to serve his mother, and the other to become his personal maid, and the new house had been built when he left.

 Life has changed so much that Fang Youdu himself feels like he is in a dream. He always feels a little floating. He has to go back to the academy to slowly find himself.

It seems that this round may have to stop here. Fang Youdu is slightly regretful, but he is not disappointed.

In fact, he compared himself with the fellow academy students who came together for reference, and believed that his strength was at the lower-middle level among the more than fifty people. Wu Di and Zheng Chongjian were both higher than him, while Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and even Chen Qiyu Needless to say about these people.

So he didn't feel too much disappointed, and he would just come back in three years. As his prospective father-in-law said, he could study with peace of mind, and he didn't have to worry about the food and clothing expenses at home or even in Beijing, everything was taken care of by him.

And after the Spring Festival, he should go back to get married. Well, in fact, at that time, he himself estimated that it would be difficult for him to pass the Spring Festival exam.

 But with this academic background, it is enough for his family to live in his hometown for a lifetime. Even if he takes the exam for another ten or eight years, it is nothing to him.

 “Ah! It’s over, what kind of question is this?!”

 “Why is there such a tricky problem in Jinke?”

A burst of whispers came from the examination room next to it, causing Fang Youdu, who was a little distracted, to finally focus on what was in front of him. The question paper had been handed out, but he had not yet opened it.

 Taking a deep breath, Fang Youdu opened the question paper.

What caught my eye was a line of words: "On how to break the impasse over our country's financial constraints and border issues regarding military expenditures"

Fang Youdu took a breath.

 No wonder the candidates in the surrounding examination halls were complaining endlessly. These questions were far beyond ordinary imagination.

If we talk about the issue of wealth, most students can still discuss one or two things. After all, the issue of wealth in current policy theory is only the focus of everyone's study and discussion, but military affairs on border conflicts are relatively unfamiliar to many people, and you are also asked to discuss the relationship between military affairs on border conflicts and Financial constraints, and then asking you to find a solution to the problem is a bit beyond imagination.

After calming down for a while, Fang Youdu began to review the questions. The wealth aspect was relatively easy, but the military affairs aspect was a border issue. Fang Youdu couldn't help but say God bless him. Fortunately, Feng Ziying taught everyone a lesson the night before. Otherwise, He really wanted to have a black eye, he could only imagine it out of thin air.

Without Feng Ziying's careful introduction, Fang Youdu would have been limited to the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea. After all, he was from South Zhili and had some understanding of the Japanese pirates. We can only understand it on a relatively superficial level, but we know very little about the specifics. As for the border troubles in the southwest, we have never heard of it.

Just when Fang Youdu took a breath and secretly rejoiced, Zheng Chongjian, Fan Jingwen, Wu Di and others were also inexplicably surprised.

Although this topic is more complex and difficult than imagined, it involves areas that many candidates are relatively unfamiliar with, or that most candidates have only a partial knowledge of.

For example, students from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Huguang may have some understanding of the southwest border invasion, but they know little about the Jurchen threat in Liaodong. Students from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong may also be familiar with the Japanese, but they are not aware of the Mongolian threat in the north. It may not be so profound. It is an unrealistic idea in itself to let students from Shandong in Beizhi have an intuitive understanding of the contradiction between the chieftains and officials in the southwest or Annan's harassment in Guangxi.

But for a few people that night, Feng Ziying's two-hour explanation was like rain. Even if the two-hour narration gave them only a rough understanding, they believed that although they were like this, they were afraid that others Candidates are even more miserable.
