- Qin Xuan said that he would throw stones instead of shooting arrows, causing some officials nearby to turn their heads and look at him. He had seen this strange thing many times, but he had never seen such a strange thing in the martial arts examination. This was in the imperial examination. , it is not a child playing the game of officers and soldiers catching thieves. I have seen stupid and bold candidates, but I have never seen such stupid and bold candidates. For a while, several examiners were stunned.
"Throwing stones? Are you sure you are here to participate in the martial arts competition?" an official asked.
"Yes, you can't ask me to stand here if I don't participate in the martial arts competition. It's just that my archery skills are very poor. The level of throwing stones is much higher than that of archery. If throwing stones is not possible, I can also use the javelin." Qin Xuan said.
There are nearly ten examiners here. The examiner is a thin man about fifty years old, whom he does not recognize, and the examiner in charge of him is a fat official in his forties. This is his first time in this kind of situation. Encountered, and this matter is not something he can decide, he has to ask the examiner, the Minister of War, for instructions.
"Shilang Zhang, this candidate said that he would use his bare hands to throw stones instead of a bow and arrow to take the extra examination. What should we do?" The fat official stood up and asked the examiner.
"Huh? What's your name?" Zhang Shilang asked Qin Xuan.
"My surname is Qin, my name is Qin Xuan"
"Ohare you Qin Xuan and Qin Jingyuan who can throw stones with incredible accuracy? I didn't think of it for a moment, but you can throw stones to participate in the assessment. There are special instructions above," Zhang Shilang suddenly said hurriedly.
Zhang Shilang is also very puzzled about this matter. Qin Xuan has some skills. Not only can he brew fine wine, but the muskets and artillery secretly manufactured in the Ordnance Supervision are all made by him. Moreover, he signed up to participate in the martial arts examination this time. The Internal Affairs Supervisor Gao The powerful man came to greet him in person and allowed him to use weapons other than bows and arrows to participate in the assessment. Although this was inconsistent with the rules, it was obviously the Holy Spirit's intention when the chamberlain came to speak.
Zhang Shilang knew that Qin Xuan's participation in the martial arts examination was probably just a process. As the Minister of War, he had seen the power of muskets and artillery. When the first bronze cannon was built, the Holy Emperor, the Minister of War and himself, As well as Master Shi of the Ordnance Supervision, they personally watched the test firing. After the loud noise, the lead bullet as big as a bowl was fired more than two miles away, and a so-called blooming bullet was used later. After it was fired, the lead bullet was fired two miles away. A large crater of about three feet was blasted in the land.
This is the most powerful weapon he has ever seen in his life. Catapults, crossbows, etc. are just like children in front of bronze cannons. Even the loud noise can knock people out. They are simply magic weapons. A sharp weapon, such a sharp weapon came from the hands of a casual official, and he was also a doctor and a teacher at Chang'an Medical University.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. Qin Xuan is very polite."
"You're welcome. I also follow the instructions of my superiors. Can I see the stones you use?" Zhang Shilang asked? He was also very curious about this matter. The boss said he was allowed to use any instrument, but he didn't expect that what he used was not an instrument at all, but stones that could be seen everywhere. This seemed a bit too casual. Maybe the stones he used were special. ? For example, the thing called a grenade doesn't look like a stone.
"Oh, sir, of course it's okay," Qin Xuan said, taking out a pebble from the bag and handing it to the examiner. The pebble used in the martial arts assessment this time was slightly larger, about the same as a goose egg, and it was more than a hundred steps away. In terms of distance, the stone is too small and has no lethality. You have to make a hole in the target card anyway, so that it looks more shocking, and at least it can surprise those who look down on you.
"This is just an ordinary pebble. Are you sure it can be compared to a bow and arrow?" Zhang Shilang asked curiously.
"This is not certain, but it is certain that once it hits a person's body, it will at least make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness. Once it hits the enemy's head, the outcome will be death," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
"That's right. If you hit your head with such a big stone, you won't die. However, this target is a hundred and fifty steps away, and there are thirty stones. Let everyone see how your accuracy is. Go ahead and test it carefully." Zhang Shilang smiled said.
The distance of a hundred steps is very difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot. Most of them can be shot by projectiles. But how lethal can the projectiles of bows and arrows be? This is estimated to have a certain lethality against a group of unclothed enemies. Once the opponent wears armor, unless the arrow hits the exposed flesh of the opponent, it will be a waste.
The lethality of bows and arrows is reflected in close range. At a distance of thirty to fifty steps, ordinary bows and arrows can hurt people. If it is a distance of a hundred steps, only a strong bow and heavy arrows can be used to effectively hit the enemy. As People in the Ministry of War know this very well. If Qin Xuan can throw a stone a hundred steps away, the damage caused by the stone hitting a person should be greater than that of an arrow.
When Qin Xuan walked to the assessment point carrying a cloth bag, everyone was a little lateDoubtful, what does this candidate do? Not even carrying a bow or arrows for archery? And he walked straight towards the target sign. Could it be that this person didn't understand the rules of the archery assessment? Or is there something wrong with the target card? Even the military attach¨¦s watching not far from the examiner were surprised.
Qin Xuan ignored the surprise of the audience and ran towards the target. The soldiers next to each candidate had to order two candidates to wait in case Qin Xuan was injured, but Qin Xuan ran away as if nothing happened. He climbed up the dirt pile, took out a piece of charcoal from the cloth bag, drew a black circle as big as the mouth of a sea bowl at the center of the inner circle of the target, and then quickly returned to the shooting spot.
"What does this person want to do? Doesn't he want to shoot that black spot?"
"Does he have the archery skills to pierce a tree with a hundred steps?"
"This man is really crazy. He can pierce a tree with a hundred steps. He is a legendary archer."
"He didn't even hold a bow and arrow. What kind of archer is he? He must be the examiner's subordinate."
There were a lot of doubts among the crowd watching. Qin Xuan's move also confused the examiners. He drew such a small black circle. Did he want to shoot the black circle with a stone? This is a bit unbelievable. From such a long distance, if you want to hit the black circle that looks about the same size as your fist, it is probably impossible to call the flying general.
At this time, on the gate tower of Mingde Gate, Li Longji took a telescope and looked at the examination room carefully. As for throwing stones, as long as he has the strength, there are people who want to throw the stones ten steps away. , but I have never seen one that can accurately hit the target at about a hundred steps. Even with a bow and arrow, it is impossible. The inner gauge of the target card is six feet, and I have never seen one that can hit all thirty arrows. But there are talents in the army who can hit all ten arrows.
When Li Longji heard about Qin Xuan's participation in the martial arts competition, he was very curious. Why did a person who never regarded being an official as a career suddenly want to participate in the military competition and join the army? He learned the reason why he joined the army. At that time, Li Longji began to find it funny, but when he thought about it carefully, it did make sense. As a parent, every move you make is an example for the children to learn from. If you are close to the best, you will be the best. It is more appropriate to put it in family education, not It makes sense, it makes a lot of sense.
As for the saying that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, Li Longji has never believed it. Everything depends on strength. You are a weak person, and your children will not be very strong in the future. In order to set a good example for their children, Qin Jingyuan, this kid If he can resolutely give up a comfortable life and choose to join the army, his father's love is worthy of respect, but joining the army is possible, but he does not need to participate in martial arts. As long as he has this requirement, it will be fine.
"Father, do you think Qin Xuan can hit the black circle he drew with a stone?" Xian Yi asked with a smile.
"I heard that he had two hits in the competition with Li Hu. I believe he has the strength, but if he has to hit thirty stones, I don't believe it," Li Longji said.
"Father, how about a bet with your daughter?" Xian Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, what do you want to bet on? Let's talk about it?" Li Longji asked with interest.
"My daughter bets that Qin Xuan can hit the black circle with thirty stones. The bet is that he will hit it. You have to make him a martial officer at least no lower than the Ranger General. If the daughter loses, she will give her father a gift. A bottle of fine wine," Princess Xianyi said with a smile.
"How can this official position be used as a bet? It's really nonsense. As long as he is really capable, he will definitely pass this martial arts examination. Besides, he is originally a fifth-grade civilian official. Naturally, he will not be lower than this when he changes to a military official. He doesn't have the ability to pass the military examination, and his father can't appoint him as an official for personal gain. Otherwise, how will the world view his father?" Li Longji said.
"Of course. If he really can't pass, my daughter won't make a big bet with my father. Then, if he can hit all the black circles and pass, my father will definitely not give him a lower price. The fifth-grade position," Princess Xianyi said.
"Okay, Father, I promise you that you can exchange a bottle of fine wine for a fifth-grade official or above. You are really smart. Has this kid Qin Jingyuan brewed some good wine again?"
"No, this is a 20-year-old daughter's wine given to me by a friend. I have never been willing to drink it. If my daughter loses, she will give it to her father. If her daughter wins, then my father will not be able to drink it. , Hehe" Princess Xianyi said with a smile.
At this time, Qin Xuan was standing three steps away from the 105-step line, holding a pebble in his hand, running forward two steps quickly, raising his arms, and throwing the pebble in his hand hard. After exiting, the goose egg-sized pebbles turned into a shadow and flew straight towards the ten-meter-high target sign a hundred meters away.
Everyone present was paying attention to this strange candidate. A martial arts candidate taking part in the horizontal archery section did not use a bow and arrows but used stones. This was really unheard of. Even a child could throw stones, but it happened openly. In the martial arts examination room, and the examiner allowed him to take part in the martial arts examination, so doesn't everyone can take part in the martial arts examination?
"Bang"
A loud sound came, and the man with good eyesight opened his mouth wide, looking at the target sign on the pile of soil in disbelief. In the center of the black mass, a hole suddenly appeared, an inch-thick wooden target sign. Punctured by a stone? And it was a hundred steps away, and everyone was shocked.
"It's incredible," Li Longji murmured.?Things that even a child can do appear openly in the martial arts examination room, and the examiner also allowed him to take part. In this way, doesn't everyone can take part in the martial arts examination?
