When Ji Nianqin saw the girls in the first row hesitating, she took the initiative to join the conversation, probably wanting to cheer up the girls next to her.
"During the Tang Dynasty, the main tests were weightlifting, horseback archery, foot archery, and horse spear techniques. Surprisingly, the Tang Dynasty military exams also had requirements for the candidates' appearance."
"What are the requirements? Is someone like you suitable? You've always spread rumors among your classmates that you were once the top martial arts scholar. Do you have any historical evidence to support this?"
"A man with a majestic torso can be a general, but I absolutely cannot do that. However, I am being clever."
Ji Nianqin winked at the female classmates, trying to speed up the memorization for everyone. Only the "buzzing" sound of recitation could be heard from time to time in the classroom.
"Everyone, close your books, quickly, or you'll have to copy everything I said today 20 times."
All I could hear was the sound of flipping pages, as if someone was trying hard to record the information in their head.
"You won't listen to me, right? Well, if you can improvise in these few minutes, then I've wronged you, or perhaps underestimated your intelligence. Girl in the first row, I see you're the one grumbling the loudest. Tell me about the major changes in the military exam during the Song Dynasty. What did they include?"
"Teacher, I haven't memorized it yet."
"Copy today's copy 20 times, and yesterday's copy as well."
The male teacher seemed to be getting more arrogant, thinking that everyone was like this. After all, memorization really requires a lot of effort. Although you will forget it soon after memorizing it, at the moment of learning, memorizing without a pen may make it more memorable. For such rebellious adolescent children, only coercive measures can be used. The blackboard brush in his own hand hurt so much that it scared the students around him.
Everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if it would be good to memorize one more sentence at the last moment.
"you."
The male teacher then hit the boy's desk with his blackboard stick, preparing to ask him to answer.
"The regulations stipulated that the military examinations should not only include military prowess but also include strategy, such as the Art of War by Sun Wu. Therefore, the emergence of famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty was not accidental; it was also related to this."
"What a mess you're answering! Did I ask you to answer about the Song Dynasty? I'm afraid you were ready just now. It's just two sentences, of course you can recite them by heart, but I'm talking about the Ming Dynasty."
"Teacher, I..."
Mao Mao stood up and saw that the male teacher had torn his book apart with a pointer. He had been unable to find the page about the Ming Dynasty, but with this trick, he easily found the torn one. The rules stipulated that strategy should be tested first, followed by martial arts. If you failed the written test on strategy, you could not take the martial arts test. In other words, if you didn't have military talent, even strong arms and legs would be of no use.
"Go back and copy it 20 times as punishment, just like the girl just now. Don't you always want to show off and help the girls? First, you have to take care of yourself."
"Yes, teacher, I will pay attention next time."
Just when the male teacher's anger had subsided a little, he wanted to ask Ji Nianqin one last question to end the class. Unexpectedly, she fluently recited the content of the class. Why did the martial arts champion decline? She seemed more interested in it.
"Student Ji Nianqin, I'm asking why the Qing Dynasty was the opposite of the Ming Dynasty. Although you disrespect your teachers, you can take your phone back now, and the teacher has formally apologized to you. However, starting tomorrow, you won't be able to come to class..."
