During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the country was peaceful and the national strength was strong. The army of this dynasty was not only powerful, but also deeply revered by the emperor and the common people.
In the army, there are two words that are very special, they are "soldier" and "brave", only one word apart, but the status is very different.
Emperor Qianlong was a wise and benevolent ruler who was well aware of the importance of soldiers and decided to personally select an elite escort army. Before the selection, the Qianlong Emperor ordered a martial arts competition to be held in the military camp, called the Brave Soldier Selection Competition.
The tryouts attracted a large number of soldiers who wanted to join the Guard. For a time, a tense atmosphere permeated the barracks.
The soldiers dressed themselves neatly, put on their majestic uniforms, and stood on the field with their chests held high. Among them was a soldier named Li Jianhua, who came from a rural family and had a simple and tenacious character.
The competition officially began, and the first thing to do was a martial arts performance. The soldiers demonstrated skillful swordsmanship, excellent archery skills, and superior combat prowess.
Emperor Qianlong, who was watching the game, watched intently the performance of each soldier from the high platform. He noticed that while each soldier performed well, some were more formidable and courageous, exuding an irrepressible confidence and strength in them.
The second part of the competition is a physical fitness test. The soldiers carried out running, rope climbing, lifting iron and other events. It was a huge challenge for most of the soldiers, but everyone present gave their all, showing tenacious perseverance and amazing strength.
In the end, Emperor Qianlong decided to interview each soldier personally. He weeded out some of the poorer performers, leaving behind some of the best candidates.
Among these candidates, the Qianlong Emperor took note of Li Jianhua. Although Li Jianhua's martial arts may be slightly inferior to that of other soldiers, he showed the qualities of fortitude and tenacity.
During the interview, the Qianlong Emperor asked a series of questions to examine the soldiers' loyalty, intelligence, and sense of responsibility. Li Jianhua impressed the Qianlong Emperor with his clever and witty answers.
Emperor Qianlong's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he said to Li Jianhua: "You may not be the bravest soldier, but your intelligence and intelligence are enough to make up for it." You have the potential to be a great **.
Emperor Qianlong's words made Li Jianhua very encouraged, he decided to accept Emperor Qianlong's appreciation, gave up continuing to participate in the selection of the guard Li Jianhua successfully became the first, and started his political career.
He lived up to the expectations of Emperor Qianlong, was diligent and prudent, and had many glorious performances in officialdom. He once presided over the construction of an irrigation project, which benefited ordinary people a lot; He also led the residents of poor areas to improve their living conditions so that everyone could live a happy life.
In one of his speeches, he once said: "In the workplace, we always hone our skills and talents, but it is also important that we have courage."
Only with courage can we challenge ourselves, step out of our comfort zone, and achieve higher and better achievements. ”
Thanks to Li Jianhua's efforts, his career has become more and more successful, and the lives of the broad masses of the people have also been improved. He became a ** with great prestige and reputation, and was deeply loved and respected by the people.
In contrast, the fate of the warriors was somewhat unsatisfactory. They begin to feel tired and disappointed, especially when their numbers are reduced, and the feelings are even stronger.
The Warriors realized that they needed a more meaningful future, a more rewarding cause, than just a show of bravery on the battlefield.
Eventually, the Warriors reached an agreement with the local ** agency. **Training opportunities and job opportunities will be provided for warriors, so that they can become leaders in the industry and make greater contributions to society. The Warriors are very happy and encouraged by the widespread support for this agreement.
After years of hard work and struggle, Li Jianhua won numerous victories in his political career and was deeply loved by the monarch and the people. And the warriors have also become the guardians and doers of society, and their value has been fully reflected.
