The four hundred and sixtieth chapters live up to their reputation
Notices were posted everywhere in Bianliang City, saying that they were recruiting troops for training and re-selecting the Imperial Guards for the Beijing camp.
The common people gathered around the list and talked about it. The Song Dynasty had belittled warriors for a hundred years, and the entire society had despised soldiers to the core.
Those who are interested are some family members of the original Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army has been stationed in Bianliang for so many years and has deep roots.
Liu Qi looked at the list and shook his head secretly. He was the son of Liu Zhongwu, the magistrate of Hezhou. Liu Zhongwu followed Tong Guan and pacified Tubo in Hehuang. He made numerous military exploits and was promoted to the magistrate of Hezhou.
He knew that the Song Dynasty valued literature and suppressed martial arts, and he felt that his son, who was both civil and military, would be delayed in Hezhou. So he spent money to leave, and the relationship with Tong Guan was brought to Liang Shicheng's head. Before Liang Shicheng could do anything, he was
Yang Lin was killed. Tong Guan died earlier. He stayed in Bianliang for so long and spent all his money.
Liu Qi suddenly had no support in Bianliang, and he didn't want to go back just like that. Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng were not fuel-efficient lamps. How could they pay attention to you if they spent less? When he came out, he used the back door and spent all his father's savings.
Wouldn't it be unfilial if we didn't name him?
Now when I look at this list, I see that the treatment is unparalleled in the Song Dynasty. Promotions are all based on ability. Isn't it better than asking for alms from that eunuch?
He twisted the wristband on his arm and walked to the recruitment area. He saw that the place was crowded with people. There was already a long queue of people signing up. Liu Qi sighed and had to go to the end of the crowd to queue.
When we actually deal with the Imperial Guards in the Beijing camp, we find that it is far from that simple. They have been stationed in Bianjing for so many years, their families have multiplied day by day, and the number of additional troops is limited. The children in the family cannot make up the regular army, and they cannot withdraw from the troops, so they can only serve in the Imperial Guards.
The military general helped the people in the industry to make a living.
These people were exploited so miserably by the generals of the Forbidden Family that they could be said to be their personal slaves. The generals were arrogant and wealthy, but the soldiers were struggling to survive in this prosperous capital, and were not even as good as ordinary people.
Many people work in the family business of military generals as errand boys. They do the most tiring work and are often not even given one or two copper coins. However, they still cannot get rid of military status, so they can only work with these generals.
The master's servants begged for food, and they were worse than the beggars in Bianliang.
In the history of the original time and space, the Jurchen army forced Bianliang, and the hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers dispersed almost without any resistance. Not only were the soldiers unable to fight without training, but also the hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers were unwilling to fight.
You treat me as a slave, and I can only treat you as an enemy. When you are singing and dancing in peace, you lean on the red and green trees and indulge in luxury, but in the face of war, you have to fight to the death for you. How can there be such truth in the world?
Now that such generous conditions are being offered, each soldier can get five guan of money a month, which is almost enough to support the whole family for a year. Who doesn't want to give it a try?
From early morning until dusk, Liu Qi's chest pressed against his back with hunger. He thought that his money bag was empty, and he felt agitated for no reason.
At this time, an official who was surrounded by people passed by and saw Liu Qi in the crowd at a glance. This boy was tall and tall, with a handsome face and a straight waist. He had a style that was different from the crowd.
Liu Qi saw that this man was so dignified, he must be a high official, so in order to avoid causing trouble, he turned his head and thought about where to go to get some soup and rice tonight.
A guard wearing a red robe patted him on the shoulder and led him to a corner of the school grounds. The official who was surrounded by people was also there. Only then did Liu Qi take a closer look. The purple and gold official robe could not help but reveal in his eyes
A hint of envy.
"This is good, boy, can you ride and shoot?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "The shot is accurate, can you exchange it for a drink?"
The people next to him burst into laughter, and someone brought him a bow and arrow. Liu Qi aimed at the target, but suddenly felt bored, and shot an arrow at the bucket next to him.
Next to the purple and gold official uniform, a fat black man put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master made a mistake this time."
It turned out that this person was Yang Lin, who came specifically to see the situation of recruiting soldiers. Lu Qian went over and pulled out the arrow, and the water flowed out, spraying far away. Lu Qian smiled and cursed: "It turns out to be a straw bag, it's a pity that this bucket
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi opened his bow and shot again, blocking the arrow hole again. Lu Qian was still holding the last arrow in his hand. As long as this thing misses a little, it will never be able to block the water.
As soon as he said it, he was slapped in the face, which made him look a little embarrassed.
Hua Rong next to him shouted: "Okay! This pretty boy has some skills."
Yang Lin laughed, stood up, patted his butt, and said: "No need to queue for this, I want it!"
After saying that, he took everyone with him and left. A young general who was recruiting soldiers came over quickly and wanted to take Liu Qi to log in.
Liu Qi looked at Yang Lin's back and said loudly: "This Shangguan promised me a meal."
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Our brothers are going to drink, so it doesn't matter if we bring one more of them. Come on."
"Can you ride a horse?" Lu Qian asked. Liu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Very good at it."
There were two bodyguards riding together, and one horse was allowed to ride with him. Everyone rode up to a restaurant, which was very clean.
After dismounting, someone stepped forward to lead the horse, and a group of people entered the garden. Only then did Liu Qi marvel at the decoration here. The pink and white walls, blue bricks and green tiles were not like ordinary restaurants.
As soon as they entered the gate, several maids stepped forward with clever smiles, took the official's cloak, and welcomed him in affectionately, holding their arms on both sides.
Entering a courtyard, Yang Lin sat down, shook his clothes and said to the beauty behind him: "Today I was dealing with government affairs in the Mingtang, and then I went to the camp again after a tiring day. I quickly grabbed something to eat. I'm so hungry.
"
Liu Qi was secretly stunned. How could Mingtang be accessible to ordinary people? Considering his age, this person's identity was already obvious.
He lowered his voice and asked the big black man next to him: "Is this the current Yang Shaozai?"
Hua Rong raised his voice and said: "Who else could be so powerful? It's not Shaozai."
His voice was so loud that it made a beauty who had just entered the room laugh. Liu Qi looked around and saw a woman walking in with gentle steps. She really had ice-cold muscles, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a cherry mouth and a beautiful nose.
Willow has a slender waist and a graceful appearance.
Yang Lin said deliberately: "Why, Master, do you think this young master is not powerful enough?"
Master Li spat and sat down on the futon in front of him. Only then did the maid behind him bring wine and food.
Liu Qi just felt restless. This man and woman were both very famous people. One was Yang Lin, the young prime minister who had just launched the palace coup, and the other was actually the Supreme Emperor's old friend and the number one beauty in Bianjing, Li Shishi. Look at these two people.
They look so passionate about adultery that they might have hooked up with each other a long time ago.
Li Shishi looked at Yang Lin, whether it was pretense or sincere, water was almost oozing out of her eyes anyway. With her fair hands, she scooped up a spoonful of golden food, brought it to Yang Lin's mouth, and said with a smile: "This dish is...
The crab roe of the female crab is stir-fried with the crab paste of the male crab, without even a trace of crab meat. It is simmered with rice wine and seasoned with stock. It does not need to be served with noodles and rice. It is the most delicious when eaten as a side dish. "
Yang Lin took a sip, and it melted in his mouth and tasted delicious.
He gently put his hands behind his back, caressed Master Li's soft and plump waist, looked at Liu Qi and asked, "What's your name?"
"Back to Shaozai, I am Liu Qi, a native of Qinzhou."
Yang Lin lowered his head. This name seemed familiar. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there seemed to be a Liu Qi who repeatedly defeated the Jin army. After his death, he was given the posthumous title "Wu Mu". This posthumous title is extraordinary and has been pursued by military commanders since ancient times.
The ultimate, such as Li Guangbi and Yue Fei have this honor.
However, this name was very common, and Yang Lin did not dare to believe that it was him. Liu Qi felt that he was a nobody, and everyone present should be generals, so he quickly said: "My father, Liu Zhongwu."
"Liu Zhongwu?" Song Jiang praised: "General Liu guards Hezhou and is a good general in the northwest. I have met him a few times and we have a good conversation. I, Song Jiang, are worthy of your father and brother, so you should be called me in the future.
An uncle."
Liu Qi quickly clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Uncle Song. My nephew has met his uncle."
Yang Lin was convinced now and felt quite happy. During the Jingkang period in the Northern Song Dynasty, it could be said that the strong wind knows the strong grass.
Those who stood out at that time were all fierce generals who were famous all over the world and passed down in history.
This young man is so young and has a lot to do in the future. It's a pity that he didn't realize it early, so he missed the last fierce battle.
"Liu Qi, I knew your father's reputation when he was under Tong Guan's tent. General Huzi, since you have joined the Bianliang New Army, you should fight to keep your father's reputation from being ruined."
In the hearts of Han people, if someone praises your father's greatness, it is often easier to build a closer relationship than directly praising you.
Even at such a young age, Liu Qi was not afraid of the stage among these people. He raised his glass and drank it empty, saying: "I will definitely live up to your high expectations."
