On the second day of September, with the sound of a gong, the martial arts examination officially began.
The military examination is divided into county examination, prefectural examination and metropolitan examination. As long as your background is clean and you are between fourteen and twenty-two years old, you can participate.
Of course, people from different places have to take the exam in that place.
For example, Cheng Jinxing was from Taoyuan County, so he had to take the exam in Taoyuan County.
He Jun, the son of Boss He, lives in the provincial capital, but his household registration is not in the provincial capital, so he has to participate in the event in the county where his household registration is located.
The content of the county and prefectural examinations is a martial arts competition, which is divided into three rounds.
In the first round, draw lots for one-on-one matches and the winner will pass.
In the second round, the groups will draw lots again for one-on-one matches, and the winner will advance.
In the third round, the points will be accumulated first among the remaining people, and they will pass. In other words, the person who makes it to the end must have participated in at least twelve competitions.
Taoyuan County has seventeen towns and sixty-five villages. Together with the people in the county seat, there are a total of four hundred and seventy-six people who have registered.
Two hundred and thirty-eight people were eliminated in the first round, leaving two hundred and thirty-eight.
The remaining 238 were divided into seven groups, with 34 people in each group.
The second round is to select people from these seven groups, with seventeen people selected from each group. The seventeen people will draw lots again and then nine will be selected. In this way, there will be sixty-three people left in the end.
In the third round, these 63 people will fight in a round-robin match. Starting from the one who draws number one, they will play against number two. If number one wins, they will continue to play against number three. If they lose, number two will play against number three, and so on. One point will be awarded for a win, and no points will be awarded for a loser. The one who gets ten points first can rest and be considered to have advanced.
This depends on luck and strength.
The county examination lasts for fifteen days, starting from the second day to the sixteenth day.
The first round lasted for six days, with one day of rest. The second round lasted for four days, with one day of rest. The third round lasted for three days, and the candidates who passed the county exam were announced immediately.
Taoyuan County became bustling as early as the end of August.
On the morning of the second day of September, a large group of people gathered early at the specially arranged martial arts competition arena next to the government office.
There are people selling snacks, tea, and gadgets everywhere.
Xie Yuchen understood Cheng Yue's intention and sent several people to sell cold skewers around the arena.
Hundreds of people stood below the arena, drawing lots one by one in order, each with their name written on their back.
After drawing the lots, you will go to the yamen to register with a special person.
Number one on white paper versus number one on black paper, the box for drawing lots alone is half a person's height.
Cheng Jinxing drew white paper number one, which was the first game of the first round.
Fortunately, this time the Cheng family did not ignore it. Instead, the whole family went out and used Cheng Wu's relationship to sit in the most powerful position.
"In the 23rd year of the Taoyuan County Martial Arts Examination, the first round, the first match, Cheng Jinxing of Xinghua Village, sixteen, faced Huo Feng of Dalinzi Village, twenty-one."
"Bang!"
"The competition begins!"
With the referee's command, the competition began.
Cheng Jinxing clasped his fists towards the tall and strong man opposite him.
"Hey, kid, you look so clean, but don't think that just because you're from the government office, I'll let you go! Eat this!"
Dalinzi Village is close to the county town, so Huo Feng knew that Cheng Jinxing was from the county government and that the county police chief was Cheng Jinxing's uncle, so he was very disapproving of Cheng Jinxing.
He attacked Cheng Jinxing directly.
Cheng Jinxing dodged easily. Huo Feng intended to hit him with one blow, but his force was a bit too strong, and since Cheng Jinxing dodged, he couldn't hold back.
