Liang Chuan thought hard and couldn't figure it out. After drinking half a jar of rice wine, he felt slightly drunk. He couldn't resist sleepiness while holding Shen Yuzhen in his arms, and finally fell asleep.
At dawn, Jin Yao came to report that Mr. Gao, the Inspector General of the Capital City, came to pay a visit. Gao Gan is the local leader here, and he usually has some friends with him. Jin Yao, a well-rounded person, naturally knows him.
The current high-ranking cadre did not have the slightest air of being an official. He changed into casual clothes. After the matter of Qiu Fu was settled, he met Liang Chuan again. He was so happy to go home that he was drunk for several days. This was the first time he met Liang Chuan. He only knows that he is a layman, and now he has connections with Xia Song and other big men in the Western Army. I am afraid that he will become prosperous again this time!
In the past few days, he came to the Forbidden City in person. Every time, he respectfully asked Jin Yao to pass on the message. He also prepared enough gifts and wanted to see Liang Chuan again. For several days in a row, Liang Chuan was busy and the dragon was nowhere to be seen, and the senior officials were also worried. Don't be discouraged, just wait a few more days if you don't see him one day, and you will be able to catch Liang Chuan.
"Brother, please make it easy for me to find him!"
Liang Chuan looked at the thing in his hand and took it familiarly: "You're already here, why do you still bring something?"
Liang Chuan opened it and saw that it was a pair of jadeite with extremely pure water. Judging from the quality, it should be extraordinary! There are no fakes made of resin these days, and all the ones he took out were genuine ones. Liang Chuan swallowed: "How embarrassing! Jin Yao help me keep it, don't let others get away with it!" "
Jin Yao smiled like silk, knowing that this was Liang Chuan's joke on the senior officials, so he saluted the senior officials and said: "The senior officials can do what they want, just give me whatever you need!"
Gao Gan said repeatedly: "It's hard work, it's hard work!"
Seeing Jin Yao walking away, Gao Gan rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, please make it difficult for me to find you. I'm a rough guy. Your Forbidden City is a serious place. It doesn't have those frivolous things. It's stupid." It’s really not satisfying, why don’t I take you to a fun place and I’ll make sure you have a good time!”
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said, "That's no need. I'm not a fun person either."
Shen Yuzhen came in, gave a salute, and then walked out politely. Gao Gan took a look and said: "It turns out that I already have such a lovely wife in my golden house. Naturally, I don't like the wild flowers and weeds outside, so I don't want to call her a girl. We big men are just playing with ourselves, and a whole bunch of my brothers are doing it." I want to meet my brother!"
"No, I still have tattoos on my face. I'm afraid your brothers will mind if I sit down!"
Gao Gan waved his big hand and said: "Don't worry about this. Lao Gao, I know who my friends are. They are not the kind of snobby people who look down on others. They are all heroes who are ranked high in the world!"
"That's it, then I have to go and meet for a while!"
Liang Chuan got on the carriage prepared by senior officials. The horse pulling the carriage turned out to be a war horse from the army. Liang Chuan felt a little wrong for a moment, as he felt that the official vehicle was being used for personal use against his will. The carriage headed east out of Dongshui Gate, one behind the other, followed by a group of men and horses, all of whom were good riders, heading straight towards the east of the city.
Liang Chuan looked at the scenery outside the house and felt vaguely familiar. The road was getting further and further away from Bianjing City. There were faint sounds of soldiers practicing martial arts in front of him. Liang Chuan lifted the curtain and took a look. It was not the group of island nations he had brought with A Guo. A martial arts school where people compete against each other!
Why did you come to this place?
The war with Xixia had just ended, and there was still a lively scene here. The imperial imperial army was sent to the northwest front in batches, leaving most of them old, weak, sick, and disabled. The imperial court spent only a fortune on raising these soldiers every year. Huge expense.
The guards at the gate of the school grounds were wearing iron armor and holding spears in their hands. They stood majestically at the gate of the school grounds. They exuded an air of aura that made people stay away from them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage entered the gate of the school ground, the scene changed instantly. Inside, there were warped soldiers, no one standing or sitting next to each other, and green-skinned people in groups. Some were lighting up fires, while others were Just kidding, no one is doing it regularly
Seeing Gao Gan's carriage approaching, Qiu Ba in front of the camp hurriedly came up to steady the horse's head. He knelt down on the ground and acted as a cushion for Gao Gan. He said with a shy smile: "Master Gao, please watch your steps carefully. Don’t let your precious body fall.”
Liang Chuan saw it with anger rising in his heart. They didn't even look like they were soldiers. The defenders of the country were so despicable. They were willing to be the private slaves of these officials. How could they have the ability to fight a war? This is the majestic Forbidden Army, the powerful and invincible Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty. Is this what they look like in their bones? No wonder the Jurchens came and wanted to take away the two emperors, and even their female relatives.
Gao Gan didn't think there was anything wrong with these big-headed Qiu Ba's behavior. Instead, he kept urging Liang Chuan to get off the bus quickly.
Any of the teams I trained in Dingchuan Village will give these weaklings a good idea of what an army is and what momentum is! Liang Chuan felt extremely sad. Looking at the senior officials, these were the highest-level military attachés in the empire. If they didn't treat soldiers as human beings, who would treat them as human beings? No wonder they were shouting "matching troops, matching troops." Everyone thought it was normal. but!
Liang Chuan did not rely on the soldiers' backs to get down, but jumped down by himself. The school grounds seemed to be a bit larger than before. To prepare for the Xixia war, these military facilities were naturally more complete.
The high-ranking cadre said: "This was originally the school grounds of the Ma Army Division in front of the palace. They were the emperor's forbidden army and had a detached team in the army. Later, when the war started, this place became a martial arts field. After the soldiers became proficient in training, they were sent to the front line to serve. However, There is also a rather taboo name here, called Guimen Pass. However, most of the soldiers who have trained here have died on the battlefield, and few can come back. Now everyone has figured it out, instead of working hard to death To fight for one's life, it is better to cheat and get paid. Life or death depends on one's destiny, and one day of comfort is one day. Anyway, all the officials above are thinking about how to get promoted and make a fortune. If they win, it will be none of their business. Who will use their lives? ?”
The skeleton of the dead camel of the Song Dynasty was so big that even the Jurchens thought that the Song people should not underestimate their enemies. After a battle, they realized that if they tried harder, the Southern Song Dynasty would have to change its flag. The army of the Song Dynasty would be like the gatekeeper of this school field. Two soldiers, the silver-like wax gun heads look very intimidating, but the insides are rotten to the bones.
"Is this place under your control?"
The senior officer waved his hands and said: "How can I do that? I am in charge of the inspection department. To put it bluntly, I am in name only. In front of the palace, I am led by Lord Yuhou Xia Shouenxia. However, Sir, he rarely comes here. Anyway, I am embarrassed. I’m familiar with it, and I didn’t even dare to stop him when I came in!”
This is a fucking important military area in Gyeonggi Province. Even the military attaches here can come and go at will. Even criminals like myself can come and go. If someone wants to cause trouble and brings some medicine in and mixes it into the food, this military camp will be abandoned. Got it!
The decentralization of power in the Song Dynasty reached an extreme level. The front division of the division hall and the two divisions of guards, horsemen, and infantry were collectively called the Sanyamen. Together with the Xifu Privy Council, one had the power to command troops, and the other had the power to send troops.
The original commander of the Palace Front Division called the Palace Guardsmen to check. Emperor Taizu once occupied this position, but out of respect for the throne, the current position is empty. The front division of the palace is divided into the Iron Horse Army and the Crane Control Infantry Army, while the Guard Division is divided into the Long Jie Horse Army and Hu Jie Infantry. The name is quite resounding, but now it seems that these Celestial Guards are corrupt and weak. Shang Liangchuan's own men may not be able to defeat him.
"During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the imperial army was reorganized into the upper four armies and the middle and lower armies. The upper four armies were divided into the Pengri Tianwu Dragon Guard and the Divine Guard. This school ground is where Pengri Tianwu is stationed."
"Where did the other troops go?"
"Some are stationed in places with abundant food and grass, and their family members accompany the camp. Some are stationed in border states. Those stationed in border states are generally not allowed to bring their families. With hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, how many mouths does the court have to support!"
Liang Chuan was stunned. The emperor's forces were weakened and reduced to such a situation. It was said that the Song Dynasty perished in the Zhenzong and Renzong dynasties. It was true! One day when the cavalry from the north moves south, what will the officials of the dynasty do to resist? Liang Chuan smiled. The military discipline of the Western Army was hundreds of times better than that of the Central Forbidden Army. Seeing this, Xia Song would probably sigh with emotion. If the war with Xixia continued to stalemate for another three years, the Song Dynasty would be in danger!
The senior cadre led Liang Chuan to the left and right in the school grounds. The various battalions and units in this school grounds were arranged properly. There was a simplified version of this school grounds in Dingchuan Village. They went around and around and finally went around a small tent.
The senior official raised the curtain and rushed in. Four people were already sitting in the room. There was a pile of charcoal rising in the middle. There was a blackened iron pot hanging on the charcoal. It should be said that it was an iron pot. There was something cooking in the pot. What, the cuckoo is bubbling, the gravy is rolling in the pot, and the aroma of meat is wafting out. In such a cold weather, the atmosphere in this tent is simply like heaven, what a place to drink and have fun! There were wine jars and armor robes scattered around the tent, randomly placed on the weapon racks. Liang Chuan took a look and saw that none of them were ordinary people!
"Hey, Lao Gao, you're just in time. Everyone who sees this pot of fragrant meat has a share! Hurry up and bring two pots of the good wine you brought in the car to warm it up! The fragrant meat is not delicious, it's a waste of natural resources!"
The fragrant meat is dog meat. There is a saying that if dog meat rolls around, the gods will not be able to stand still. On such a cold day, these people secretly eat dog meat in the military camp. Isn't it a hundred times more comfortable than exercising outside in the military formation?
As soon as Gao Gan showed his head, the people in the tent greeted him. The four of them were like starving ghosts, holding coarse porcelain bowls in their hands and staring at the big black iron pot with bright eyes. When they saw Gao Gan, they were even more excited. It’s joy, there’s wine! Liang Chuan followed behind, and the expressions of several people changed, and they immediately asked: "Where did you come from? How dare you sneak in and steal food just because you're looking for odors?"
There are only a few mouthfuls of food in a pot of good meat. The tent is full of hungry ghosts who are not happy to miss a mouthful. When I look at it, there is another face that I have never seen before. They just think it is here to grab food. Naturally, their faces are full of dissatisfaction. happy!
Gao Gan quickly explained: "Brothers, please be patient. This brother is the little brother Liang Chuan that I and you always praise. Today, I have spent a lot of effort to invite this brother here." Got it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands. The group of people all stood up and showed respect to Liang Chuan. The eldest among them said: "This is the one you said, Lao Gao, Liang Chuan who defeated the tiger and defeated the mountain people? How big is he?" It's quite big, but...it doesn't look as evil as yours!"
The man next to him rolled up his sleeves and immediately said as if he was about to make a move: "Lao Gao usually talks in a garish way. I guess the tigers in the south are smaller, so they may mistake wild cats for big insects. Come on, come on, let's have a try with me. "
Another person hurriedly moved a stool. This person raised his arm and wanted to compete with him in an arm wrestling match!
This is other people's territory. Liang Chuan is a guest and does not show off like this. However, a place like a military camp is never a humble place. It will only make people look down upon. Liang Chuan looked at the senior officer, who smiled slightly, Liang Chuan understood and walked over casually.
