Emperor Ming Dynasty

Different from the imperial examinations in the mainland, the Naadam Conference in Chahar covers an extremely large area, no less than a hundred acres.

Putting it in the open air is like hunting.

Among the many herdsmen, there are those who wear mink fur and those who have sheepskin. Of course, if they are rich, they naturally wear common clothes, silk and satin, etc. Although the styles are the same, the patterns are different.

Of course, it is precisely because of the complexity that vendors selling all kinds of horses, saddles, bows and arrows are also dispatched again and again, for fear of missing this good opportunity.

For the time being, Qin and Qi two kings looked at such a scene full of exotic customs, which made them full of curiosity.

The green grass has long been trampled down by horses, and any fine stones have been picked up. Huge yurts occupy the entire land.

In the middle, there is a semi-circular tower that looks like the Roman Colosseum and is similar to Fujian Tulou.

On the ground, there is an earth platform about half a foot high, covered with turf, and circles with a diameter of one foot are drawn on it. It is obvious that today is a wrestling match.

Because it is built with earth bricks, it is simple and convenient, and it is also convenient for nobles to watch.

Ordinary herdsmen can only sit on the ground and look up, some of them can only see the target.

King Qi sat on a soft couch, and the maids beside him were soft, glutinous, white and tender. From time to time, they handed melons, fruits and snacks with their lush hands, and they were three feet high from the ground, which gave him a special taste.

"Clap clap-"

King Qi sneered and said: "Governor, these words can only deceive children. If there is any armor on the grassland, it can only be thrown by Han people."

At this time, it was suddenly rumored that the two vassals of Qi and Qin recruited talents eclecticly, which aroused his interest.

Control the vitality of the Mongolian plateau, gradually eliminate slavery, and turn it into a great harmony.

Sun Changzhou, who was sitting next to him, felt tired again.

Although on the surface, Annan is hot and humid, armor is a burden, and wrestling is useless, but Annan's terrain is rugged, and the soldiers have flexible skills, which is quite important.

"At this time, if you have mastered the wrestling skills, it will be very difficult for you to pull a thousand catties in four or two, under heavy armor."

"Bang——" Suddenly, dust was everywhere, but in the blink of an eye, another strong man was thrown to the ground, leaving a lime circle.

Hearing such words, King Qin thought deeply.

"What a view—"

The next day, all the advanced contestants began to fight one-on-one. In the afternoon, about [-] people were determined.

At this time, suddenly there was an army wearing armor, obviously Han Chinese.

In this uncertain future, even if he marries a wife and has children, he is still unwilling to give up.

According to the law of the Mongols, the opponent must land on both shoulders to win.

Compared with King Qin, King Qi's disadvantage is obvious, because King Qin owns the land of Saigon.

What King Qin took away was all essence.

Originally thought that the new dynasty came, there would be a little chance, but the result was still the same.

Gu Yuan put on what he thought was the cleanest robe, even though it had patches and was washed white; the cloth shoes under his feet were neat, and the square scarf on his head was neat.

"Today's wrestling match, the rules are as follows, as long as you win three matches in the ring, you can advance."

King Qi, this is the legendary Khan who is as valuable as Chahar Khan and the son of Chuluo Khan.

"Although the imperial court extensively built the Great Wall during the Yongle and Hongwu years, there are still many places that are difficult to touch and dilapidated. It is not difficult to climb over."

It's a pity that his back is slightly arched, becoming a hunchback, which makes the whole body unharmonious and destroys his own style.

The King of Qin stroked his forehead, and there was nothing he could do with this younger brother.

"Be quiet--"

Wanping County is attached to Guozhong.

For the Ming Dynasty, the Naadam Conference will allow the talents of the entire Chahar to be selected from the people to weaken the resistance of the nobility.

The leading burly man opened his mouth and said.

At the same time, it is also possible to cultivate pro-Ming sects wantonly and on a large scale.

Sun Changzhou smiled and said, "Your Highness is right."

And there are 200 civil servants.

King Qi said softly: "I heard that you are the sixth in wrestling. That's right. I appreciate you very much."

Ordinary Mongolians still wear Mongolian robes, with at most some embroidery or something, while most of the Mongolian nobles are dressed in a compressed version of Han robes, with official hats that symbolize their status, which looks extraordinarily funny.

On the high platform, King Qi and King Qin, including a large number of Mongolian nobles, watched the fierce wrestling scenes one by one, and their blood boiled for a while.

"The imperial court asked us to select only a hundred people each, and did not say that we would not be allowed to select those who failed."

Since the birth of the imperial examination, it has never been heard of a Jinshi with a hunchback.

With the frontier trade over the years, the silver dollar, as the best currency, is also highly trusted and has become the number one currency in the hearts of herdsmen.

There are more than [-] people in Chahar, even if it is the Naadam Conference held every three years, there are only those people who come to count.

"Tabu Nang, Taiji, even the king of the county, will have a chance to get it."

"Do you want to come with me?"

Carrying a large number of talents, the two kings of Qin and Qi slowly entered Shuntian Mansion.

"That's right." King Qin echoed, "Just, my brother, do you have that much money and food to supply?"

Selenge was also startled, and he walked forward unconsciously.

At this time, when they were about to return to Beijing, they reached the peak in an instant.

The winner raised his head and roared, his voice shaking the sky.

Qin Wang heard it, and said softly: "Don't worry about it, I have to do it."

I'm a man who wants to be an official.

Immediately, a person stepped onto the stage, said it first in Chinese, and then repeated in Mongolian: "Today's Naadam Festival will include archery, horse racing, and wrestling. Anyone who enters the top [-] will be rewarded with ten yuan."

Naturally, clothes will be rewarded.

Under the bright sunshine, Selenge, who was straight, was holding the newly awarded bronze medal in his hand and ten silver coins in his arms, feeling like a dream.

For the kings of Qi and Qin, this is an important way to select talents and fill the vassal state.

It turned out that the imperial court issued a decree to allow the common people to freely travel to and from the vassal states (only in Qin and Qi).

More importantly, he was able to be an official.

Governor Sun didn't bother to pay attention to the two princes. He clapped his hands, turned his head and said to his men, "Bring out all the rewards."

"Hey, let brother take advantage of you."

Just after receiving the reward, a group of relatives and friends gathered around, full of envy and jealousy.

After a while, he saw the tender-faced King Qi.

"I'm willing to go—" Selenge agreed without hesitation.

"I'm your cousin, Selenge!"

"It's better to play cuju." King Qi curled his lips.

If the number of games is the same, it is naturally a competition.

Another three days.

Selenge quickly knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Qi."

In a short period of time, it recruited more than [-] people, and Sun Changzhou sighed for a while:
"Is Your Highness planning to wrap up Chahar?"

"Wrestling?" King Qi muttered, "What's the use of wrestling on the battlefield?"

A Naadam meeting, for the Mongols, is a selection of imperial examinations, which once passed through the gate of wealth.

A lamb becomes a big sheep, and a big sheep gives birth to a lamb, and within a few years you can become a wealthy person.

Hearing this, King Qi was dumbfounded, and his face changed drastically.

Of course, in this competition, this time you have to wrestle within the prescribed white circle, and if your opponent goes out of the circle or lands on both shoulders, it will be considered a loser.

Qin Wang glanced at Qi Wang thoughtfully, he felt that this younger brother's mind was jumping a lot.

Moreover, Zhu Yixi, as a time traveler, still prefers the ordinary people at the bottom rather than the upper-class nobles.

"Very good." It was rare for King Qin to speak, and his face was full of excitement: "It must be more popular in the army."

However, for King Qin and King Qi, this is the best time to select talents.

"You are not in the top ten, so you can't go to the capital. You can only stay in Chahar as an official. If you die, you will only be an official of a thousand households."

King Qi was speechless.

But the skin is extremely smooth, and the delicate silk and satin, I am afraid that even if the whole family is sold, they can't afford it.

"Tabu Nang is nothing at all."

Namely, the meaning of warrior.

"In my opinion, wrestling requires the flexibility of the body, which is suitable for jumping the Great Wall."

When the King of Qin recruited, he was more straightforward: "I have a territory in the south, as long as you follow me, it is no problem to become a hereditary nobleman."

"His Royal Highness King Qi is looking for you—"

"It's so high, they can't hear it."

Before leaving, King Qi whispered, "Chahar has Naadam, so Suiyuan should also have it?"

In other words, Zhu Jing must be very happy that people can recruit a large number of soldiers openly and rely on the army.

Therefore, even though he did a lot of flowers in the county examination, when he met the magistrate, he immediately cut off his future.

Many Mongolians couldn't hear clearly, and there were hundreds of big men in the audience, conducting the same voice, and repeated it back and forth for a quarter of an hour.

Selenge hesitated.

After shouting, the two big men came to the stage hesitantly.

Provoked applause from the nearby audience.

Ten yuan can buy six or seven lambs, and after a few years, it can bring about earth-shaking changes in the life of the family.

These people are all well-established, and the Ministry of Households provides their salaries, which can be regarded as exempting them from the cost of recruiting minions.

Regardless of his face, King Qi continued: "Follow me, and you will have 200 yuan for the settlement fee, and you will be awarded the seventh-rank camp right away. In addition, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Archery is also simpler, shoot three games in a row, and advance to the tenth ring.

The opponent got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and left reluctantly.

"There are only 20 people in Suiyuan, which is relatively small."

Many Mongols were short of breath and stared intently.

The two princes were very happy.

King Qi said casually.

Its age is even younger than his son.

"Your Highness, wrestling looks useless, but it is actually extremely important."

It is indeed a feast of joy for all Chahar people.

Until the end of the day, a total of 8000 people participated, and about [-] people were decided.

Afterwards, dozens of soldiers carried twenty wooden boxes.

"One is not enough, I also have a younger sister—"

Using his most proud archery skills, after several days of competition, he finally became the "Batur" of the Naadam Conference.

On the third day, it was still a confrontation. At noon, the top [-] people were determined.

"In two years, the fourth and fifth brothers will also get married, and they will definitely come to choose the manpower. I will act first."

The two kings were inexplicably surprised, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.

"It's just, my lord, can my family go together?"

This is all seducing his mind.

I was ignored again.

200 yuan, Zhengqipin Yingzheng, great future.

In the finals, it is a moving target.

King Qi laughed softly.

"of course."

Sun Changzhou was taken aback. This statement was really reasonable, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"Selenge, isn't it?"

Back then in the Chahar League, the status of the Mongolian aristocrats was divided into three ranks, with Tabu Nang at the bottom, Taiji the backbone, and the county king at the top.

Still in the stands, the horse racing competition is simple. Ten horses form a group and circle around for three weeks. The fastest will advance.

Without it, the most important thing to be an official is the official prestige, and the appearance is correct, which can raise the minimum respect from the common people.

It took a few days, and both of them were fully recruited, while King Qin continued to send people around to recruit unsuccessful candidates.

After all, the wrestling match began.

Most Mongolians understand.

Ten days passed in a flash.

The two are bare-chested and wear tight-fitting trousers. They bend over and hug each other. The person on the left hugs each other's waist with his right hand, and the other's hip with his left hand; the person on the right hugs each other's waist and legs with both hands.

For a while, crowds of all kinds surrounded it, making it impossible to move.

King Qin nodded: "Indeed, Suiyuan has to do it too."

In other words, this is to exempt the checkpoint, allowing the vassal state to freely gather talents, and it is equivalent to giving the two vassal kings a legal recruitment order.

"Selenge, we are An Da, you are rich, don't forget about me—"

In fact, at the beginning, the imperial court was going to directly award the low-level titles of Tabu Nang to this group of Mongolian Jinshi, but considering the mentality of the Mongolian nobles, they did not mess around.

In fact, in order to encourage the princes to become vassals and enable them to establish a vassal state more quickly, the officials in the royal palace are basically recruited by themselves.

At this time, these 100 people will start a group arena match, and the person who defends the most ring games will win the championship.

Lots of silver rounds, exposed to sunlight.

"I also have a younger sister, don't you like the one with the big butt the most, she is the type you like."

At this time, Sun Changzhou couldn't help but said: "Let's not mention it, wrestling can cultivate soldiers' strength and skills, so it is mentioned on the battlefield. Generally, on the battlefield, both sides wear heavy armor, and swords cannot be pierced. In vain."

"Who else?"

He didn't choose to give up, because this is a group arena, he only needs to defend for three rounds, and wait for another arena to fight again.

However, in order to avoid the prince's unlimited waste of court money and food, the number of guards is limited to 300.

Looking up, the appearance of many Mongolians appeared one by one.

In an instant, all the people dispersed, their eyes full of respect.

The wrestling match on the first day was full of climaxes, which made people dizzying.

His wife is an ordinary person. Seeing him like this, she wept and said, "That's thousands of miles away. If you are really selected, what will we do for orphans and widows?"

"If you don't become that official, what can you do?"

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, as if every word was stained with blood: "Then my hard study for more than ten years, isn't it in vain?"

"I would rather die than I will be an official."

This chapter is a bit difficult to deliver...
