One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-One: Ming and Luan
If it is out of date, it must be changed, and students should be taught what is practical and usable.
These are Jiang Pengji's original words, and the martial artists in the academy naturally followed suit.
Therefore, the "Yu" taught by the academy has been improved, and the assessment items are more in line with the existing combat form.
The Royal Horse is divided into five scoring sub-items, each with six points.
"Ming and Luan" - drive the horse so that the rhythm of the bells hanging on the horse's neck and limbs is unified, not to mention playing a tune, but it must not be tinkling indiscriminately; if you can control the horse, let the horse play a tune It is a relatively complete piece, needless to say, it has a perfect score.
"Chasing the water" - let the horse rider ride the horse smoothly on the rough road, and the bell of the horse should not be messed up.
"Passing the King's Biao" - this project is a bit of etiquette, but it also has the content of testing horse riding skills, allowing the horseman to drive through the narrow aisle of the shaft gate, and at the same time salute and salute, what is not done well Points will be deducted.
"Dancing Crossing Street" is an obstacle race, where horses are galloped back and forth, and various royal horse movements are precisely made according to the examiner's instructions.
"Chasing birds to the left" - this should be regarded as actual combat, driving prey accurately and conveniently (shooting).
The school yard is large enough to allow fifty students to take the assessment at the same time as a group, and the horses used are all docile mares.
Some people couldn't help frowning when they discovered that the content of the "Five Royals" assessment was not chariots but horses.
They are relatively conservative in their bones, advocating ancient rhyme, and are not able to accept this kind of change that keeps pace with the times...
"It's just a group of demons dancing wildly, and it's changed to nondescript—"
A famous person who was invited to watch rolled his eyes secretly, lowered his voice and whispered to his friends.
The friend said with a smile, "I heard that this was ordered by Lord Lanting."
The celebrity snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, full of disdain. When he saw that there was a woman in the royal horse, he was so angry that his beard was about to stand up, and he couldn't even speak properly, asking a woman to perform "Five Royals" in the public ", can you still see this? Can't see can't see!
If he wasn't afraid of Jiang Pengji getting angry, he would have walked away.
He murmured silently in his heart, comforting himself to save Jiang Pengji some face, if he didn't want to see it, he closed his eyes and ignored it...
There are quite a few others who think the same as this celebrity, but Fengzhen and the others watched it with gusto.
Candidates were divided into groups to watch the lottery. The first group had only sixteen female students.
Sun Lan's luck was not very good. He got the first group, and the horses he got were also randomly assigned.
"Ma'er, Ma'er, let me save face today, and I'll buy you some boxes of horse grass as a reward after you pass the exam!"
He was muttering something, and he heard the rustling of the clothes. He turned his head and saw that the female class next door sat on the horse's back steadily, with her legs clamping the horse's belly. The horse was walking meekly towards the examination room. Sun Lan looked at the bare horse's back, her face darkened.
Jiang Pengji is a devil who plays cards unreasonably, so naturally she won't make the students feel too comfortable in the exam.
Sun Lan almost cried, "At least give me a stirrup——"
Yes, Jiang Pengji ordered people to remove the stirrups from the horse, leaving only the saddle.
→_→
Stirrups have not been around for many years, at least when Li Yun joined the army, he was still used to riding without stirrups.
Stirrups are popular now, and at the same time, the threshold for royal horses has been lowered.
In order to test the students' true abilities, Jiang Pengji removed the stirrups "reasonably". This not only means that it is more difficult for students to control horses, but it is also difficult to ride on horseback. The only good news is that these war horses are not big in size, and they are very docile and well-behaved. If they were replaced by heavy horses from the heavy cavalry battalion, any one of them would be taller than an adult man. How could these students get on the horses? .
Feng Zhen looked at Sun Lan's frowning face, and almost laughed so hard.
Zhang Ping was puzzled, "I don't know what is the meaning behind the lord's removal of the stirrups?"
Feng Zhen said mysteriously, "Xi Heng doesn't know something, he doesn't rely on the stirrups to ride the horse, among other things, this waist is pretty good.
"
Zhang Ping: "???"
The style of painting suddenly became dirty.
Wei Ci coughed lightly from the side, signaling the old drivers to take it easy, what kind of car should they drive on such a serious occasion?
Feng Zhen continued to watch and found a somewhat strange phenomenon.
"These babies have bad waists—"
The postures of getting on the horse are different, and they are not coquettish at all. Look at the ladies in the female class next door, all of them are heroic.
Yes, Feng Zhen found that the girls in the female class were a bit fierce, and the posture of getting on the horse was so smooth.
Leaving aside the five royals, this waist alone is very promising.
The more Wei Ci listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and signaled Feng Jin to go out, Feng Jin continued to stare death at Feng Zhen.
Fengzhen: "..."
The first item of imperial horses is "Ming and Luan". Bells are hung on the necks and feet of war horses. Rhythm. If you can play a prescribed tune, the more perfect you can get full marks.
This item not only tests the royal horse, but also tests the music theory of the students.
Before the assessment starts, students will be given a short period of time to communicate with their war horses, and at the same time, they will be given a buffer time to adjust their emotions.
"Isn't it fair to the future students to take such an exam?"
Some people wondered. After all, the first group of assessments will tell the repertoire, and the preparation time is short, but there is plenty of time for the next few groups.
"Keep watching, Lord Lanting won't even think about this."
When the music officer played the assessment tune, everyone was stunned ((forced bī) bī), and couldn't help whispering.
"I've never heard this tune before. Brother xx is proficient in music theory, do you have any impression?"
Of course, brother xx has never heard of it, because this tune was made by the audience in the salted fish plane, and the familiar Christmas bells are jingle bells.
Although the tune is unfamiliar, the rhythm is clear and concise, which is addictive.
The music officer played the music three times, and the students rode on horseback to write it down silently, or (chest xiōng) with confidence or sighed solemnly.
With an order, the first group of assessments began.
The "Ming and Luan" project is special. The first group of fifty people is divided into five groups, and ten people make a group demonstration.
If fifty people perform together, the sound of the bells will be too chaotic and it is inconvenient to score.
Sun Lan clutched the reins nervously, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, the rhythm was not very clear, but it could not be considered out of tune.
Jingle Bells is only a short segment, and the show doesn't take much time.
The scoring standard is not limited to the tone, but also depends on whether the horse rider's movements are smooth, and whether his expression (emotion) is confident...
Sun Lan estimated the approximate score in her heart. It is not possible to get a full score of six, but it is okay to get a score of four.
"Sure enough—Ming and Luan are giving points to the female class—"
Sun Lan Yuma walked aside and watched the performance of the next group, and found that the performance of the two girls in the group was quite impressive. Not only were the tunes on point, but the horses under their crotches cooperated smoothly. Undoubtedly, there is no suspense for them to get full marks——
Looking at this performance, the next four items can also get high marks.
The imperial horse assessment not only depends on one's own (physical shēn) ability, but also has a certain element of luck. After all, the assessment content must cooperate with the war horse.
Undoubtedly, the war horses under the crotch of those female class ladies are not only docile but also obedient...
Well, I should say obedient too much.
Not long after, the assessment of fifty people ended.
Only one of the 16 ladies in the female class did not have a full score. The reason for not having a full score was that the tune was out of tune. Only ten of the remaining 34 male students got a full score, and the rest were all four to five. Sun Lan's performance was better than he expected, and he scored five points.
The few celebrities who were disdainful before were also silent.
Even though they were still very contemptuous in their hearts, they had to admit that the ladies in the female class performed perfectly beyond reproach.
"Hmph, it's just a fluke."
