Post stations, also called Dao Posts, were mostly built next to official roads. Depending on the terrain and geographical location, one location would be located at a minimum of 150 miles and a maximum of 400 miles.
Post stations are generally used to deliver official documents or military reports. The person delivering the message can eat, drink and stay in the post station, and can also change horses with orders. If it is a very urgent situation and the knight's physical strength is no longer allowed to continue running, the post station will have Dedicated cavalry replacement.
The post station in Xun County is also called Dog Miao Post Station, which is what the people call it.
It is said that when the previous dynasty built this inn, there were always farm dogs running over and barking from morning to night. Later, it was called the Dog Barking Station by the locals.
Fifty-six people had just arrived at the post station. Upon hearing the commotion, the postmaster quickly led his people to greet them.
There are big and small inns, just like Zhechongfu, they are divided into three levels: Shang, Fu and Xia.
The largest post station in the country, the North Land, was the place where the father of the former Hunjun almost collapsed and drowned. It was actually a city with a total of more than 3,000 people. There were two horse farms next to it, which could house six people at the same time. When the 80,000-strong army rests, in addition to war horses, a large amount of grain and rice are stored all year round. The army is assembled in Beijing and goes to Beiguan, where they can rest and replenish supplies.
However, this is the only post "city" in the Manchu Dynasty. The most common ones are the dog-calling post. From top to bottom, Yi Cheng, Chi Zuo, Xiao Ling, Xiao Shi, plus eight people who can replace the cavalry. Riders, twelve in total.
Only Yi Cheng has a formal establishment and is considered an official. The others are "private workers", and the eight riders are provided by the nearby military guards.
Yi Cheng’s surname is Qu, and Qu Mingzhao is exactly forty this year. When he saw so many people coming, he immediately came out to greet them.
Jiang Zhui threw his waist badge, Qu Mingzhao was startled and quickly knelt down.
The further away Yidaowei is from the capital, the more his reputation will turn into a bad reputation.
In this era of underdeveloped information exchange, there are many people who can't live without their own land, and the news is extremely lagging. Many people's impression of Yi Daowei is stuck in the previous dynasty.
Even many remote and remote villages did not know that the Great Kang Dynasty had become the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Goubing Station is very close to the capital, but Qu Mingzhao is just a small station official and has never been to Beijing. Naturally, he has not heard much about Han You, so he should be afraid of Yidao Wei.
Without Han You's need to explain, Lu Baichuan got off his horse and started giving orders, preparing food and fodder, changing torches and kerosene, and asking if he knew the latest news about the collapse of Changyuan Mountain.
Han You entered the inn, rubbed his hands and ate dry food.
Fu Yuxiang loved the horse as much as his life, and personally watched the people at the inn wiping the sweat of the horse and feeding it fodder.
The inn is not big. It is only as big as a basketball court with its walls and courtyard. It is considered a new inn. The previous inn was fifty miles away, almost to Changyuan. It took two and a half years to build, but the buildings kept falling apart. Now it is being used by nearby farmers. It was converted into a place to raise chickens.
Dogming Inn has two buildings, which can be understood as an official guest house. The front side is for eating and taking a short rest, and the back side has twelve bedrooms.
Qu Mingzhao lit the stove and placed it next to Han You and others for them to warm themselves up.
"Feng...Feng Bai, right?" Han You turned his head and waved to Feng Bai, who was eating dry food with a group of candidates: "Come here."
Mr. Feng sighed silently. He knew that he should not "lead" at night.
But there was no other way. He was exposed when he escaped from camp for the first time. He grabbed the horse and ran towards the official road with a fire held high. Although he abandoned the horse and threw the torch after being discovered, his ability to spy on the Jockey Club was also completely exposed.
Fuyuxiang is easy to fool. It is understandable that there are several civil and military talents in the family. After all, it is the Xidi Feng family.
But Han You was not so easy to fool. Although he had only had close contact once, Feng Bai always felt that Han You knew something, or at least suspected something.
Arriving in front of Han You, Feng Bai responded respectfully.
"Good riding skills, and can lead at night."
Han You pointed to the stool next to Jiang Zhui: "Sit."
Jiang Zhui suddenly sat where Han You pointed, separating Feng Bai and Han You who were sitting down.
From this we can also see that Jiang Zhui is actually very thoughtful.
He didn't know the details of Feng Bai, and it was the first time he met Han You. This kid was a bit too unruly.
"In the Xidinafeng family, do all the family members learn martial arts and be good at riding like you?"
"This..." Feng Bai hesitated: "It's quite a lot, but not all."
"Why did you take the scientific examination?"
"My family wants to find a way out, so I'm humble..."
Lu Baichuan interrupted: "You claim to be a student, but you are not yet a member of the Yidao Camp."
"Student scientific examination..."
Jiang Zhui interjected: "You can call yourself humble. You cheated in the scientific examination and you are considered a bad student."
Feng Bai looked at Han You, very depressed, what is my name?
Han You hugged his arms and said, "Don't talk to them and answer my questions."
"The villain is a commoner in the Feng family and wants to find a way out in the capital."
"If your surname is Feng, even if you are a commoner, you will have no way out in the West."
"Yes, yes, but most of the children of the Feng family join the army, and villains don't like to join the army."
Han You burst into laughter: "I didn't join the army to take the scientific examination, but I was caught cheating, so I joined the army anyway. It's so cunning and ridiculous."
"You are right." Feng Bai smiled bitterly: "The villain is also blinded by eating lard, and he dares to dance under your nose..."
Before he finished speaking, Han You suddenly frowned and said, "Do you know about the study tour of Fengxiao, the eldest son of Prince Yan's family?"
Han You has already found out clearly that the eldest son of Prince Yan is called Feng Xiao. He is a young man who is rumored to be able to smell and cover farts in bed.
Feng Bai's pupils shrank suddenly: "Didn't you ask the villain last time? I didn't know."
"Really, look at my memory."
Han You took a sip of hot tea: "Then I'll ask again today, will the answer be the same?"
"The villain really doesn't know. When you asked last time, the villain didn't know. Since then, the villain has not been in contact with any Feng family members, nor has he been out of the camp. No one mentioned it to the villain."
"I mean, last time I asked about the travels of the eldest young master of the Feng family. Today, I asked about study tours. Traveling and study tours are different, right?"
Feng Bai pretended to be confused, opened his mouth, and then showed a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You don't doubt that this villain is the eldest young master of Prince Yan's family, do you... don't say it as a joke."
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui were also happy. How could this guy be the future King of Yan? Just look at his appearance. He looks like... a wealthy eldest son.
The two of them couldn't have fun anymore. The more they looked at Feng Bai, the more something was wrong. This didn't look like a concubine, did it?
Han You put down the tea cup and said with a half-smile, "You are not really Feng Xiao, are you?" "
"You are joking again. If I were really the eldest son of the Feng family, why would I take part in the imperial examination?"
"Because you said you don't like joining the army. If you don't want to join the army, you can only do literature."
"That's a villain, not the eldest young man of the Feng family. Of course the eldest young man of the Feng family wants to join the army."
"So you took the imperial examination."
Feng Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Han You, who was smiling but not smiling. His smile became more and more forced: "I am really not the eldest young master of the Feng family. If so, how dare I hide it from you?"
"You don't dare, but the future King Yan will."
"this…"
"It will definitely be embarrassing if you reveal your identity." Han You's smile grew stronger: "The eldest young master of the Feng family took part in the imperial examination, cheated, and was caught."
"A villain... I'm really not a villain."
Han You's eyes were dark: "If you are, remember to tell me secretly, I will let you go, and no one will know your identity."
Feng Bai hesitated for a second or two, then said with a smile: "The villain really doesn't..."
"Look, if you hesitate, you are a turtle grandson."
"I'm really not a villain. If I were..."
I didn't forgive my words. Han You stood up suddenly and turned around and shouted: "Let's go on our way."
After finishing speaking, Han You took the lead to walk out, while Feng Bai felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He suspected that Han You already knew his identity.
Jiang Zhui and Lu Baichuan chased him out. Dachuan'er looked complicated: "Isn't that boy really the eldest young master of the Feng family?"
Han You rolled his eyes: "I didn't know."
"Then why are you asking him for no reason?"
"Excellent skills, superb riding skills, well-educated, surnamed Feng, left the West."
Jiang Zhuile said: "How could the future King of Yan go to the auxiliary barracks and suffer this crime?"
"If he is, then he must be a arrogant person. The arrogant Feng Xiao was unwilling to join the army according to his father's wishes. He left the West and came to Beijing for scientific research. He wanted to prove something, but he used the wrong method. , the fraud was discovered, how could he, who is so proud, reveal his identity, because it would be embarrassing and bring shame to Prince Yan's palace."
"Then if he is, will he come to you privately?"
"have no idea."
"If he finds me, will you let him go?"
"meeting."
"That's true." Jiang Zhui said with a smile, "For the eldest son and grandson of Prince Yan's Palace to serve as a soldier of Yidao Camp, Lieutenant Han would be too ignorant of promotion."
"No, because he is a coward, a disgraceful coward. I don't like cowards. I will let this coward leave. And I will be worried. If the King of Yan who guards the West for the country in the future is a coward, I will definitely be worried."
"But what if he really is Feng Xiao." Jiang Zhui became more and more confused as he listened: "You won't take the initiative to mention your identity, and you won't leave?"
"After half a year, if he hasn't left yet, go ask Fuyuxiang."
Jiang Zhui didn't know why: "Elephant knows?"
"We've been together for half a year and we don't even know each other's details. Either Fu Yuxiang lied to us, or Fu Yuxiang, the deputy general of the Southern Army who has a good command of the army, is just a parallel import."
