    In March in Bianliang, spring finally arrived in this most prosperous city on earth at the moment.  The water in the Bianhe River is rising, and duck drivers at the backwaters of the river are watching the fluffy ducklings tumbling in the water in search of food.  The new branches of the willow trees by the embankment are swaying in the wind. Although it is not yet the season for boats to sail in the Bianhe River, merchants have returned to Bianliang early after a winter, selling all kinds of goods from the entire Song Dynasty to the most prosperous place in the world.  Where the sales money is.  The accents of the north and south of Shuiguan were mixed, and the hawkers who were doing business with the merchants shouted loudly. The field ball market near Shuiguan was also open. Players in bunts were shouting and fighting for each other on the court, creating a smoky atmosphere.  Not only were the idle men in Sakon shouting and cheering for both sides, but even the businessmen who were passing by could not help but stop and stare blankly.  I have heard about this new style of Cuju in Bianliang for a long time, but now I see it, it is really lively!  "Liu Xiaoyi, you are so smart! This ball seems to be stuck to your body, and three or five people can't grab it! I don't want to go to Jinshuiqiao Ball Market this year!" The whole Bianliang suddenly came to life, in the winter  Many things that happened in Dijing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, seemed to have been forgotten by the people of Bianliang who were the most proficient in life.  Even in the wine shop and tea house, some foreign merchants couldn't help but ask: "How is your Majesty? How is the King of Yan County now? There has never been such a figure in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Is it possible that the Prime Minister of the court is just a minister?"  Looking at it?" The idle men in Bianliang often raised their eyebrows and said: "Where are the Nanbarians and the Northern Kan, you can ask about our Bianliang affairs? Of course there are people who take care of the affairs in the court, so we can fish out the river.  Isn¡¯t it possible to stop the bird¡¯s mouth?¡± People in the capital have been the most enthusiastic about the political dispute between North Korea and China for thousands of years.  The people of Bianliang in the Song Dynasty were no exception, but only at this time they were special.  That shocking incident on the night of February 2nd.  Tens of thousands of imperial guards spread chaos throughout the city.  The armored knight crushed the rebel army.  As the leader of the rebellion, the generals of the Imperial Guards of the capital, the family, were killed and their heads were rolling.  It was something that happened not long ago, how can anyone dare to recall it?  No matter what happens in the future, Bianliang is still shrouded in the majestic and evil aura of the newly minted Prince Yan.  Zhao Ji became the Supreme Emperor, Zhao Huan was deposed, Zhao Kai became the new king, and Maode Diji general Shang Yan became the king of the county.  There are hundreds of thousands of imperial guards in the capital, and tens of thousands of elites have been selected. The former guard guards are the backbone.  Now troops are stationed outside the south gate to suppress the Bianliang Dynasty situation with military force.  Furthermore, the foundation accumulated by the Dumen Guards for more than a hundred years was once acquired by Prince Yan.  The father and son of the Shi family and some members of the general family took care of it.  Many industries fell into the hands of King Yan. Hundreds of thousands of former imperial guards were dismissed from the army and worked for King Yan in these industries.  The local vigilantes of the Imperial Guards family who have been in the capital for more than a hundred years are not comparable to those civil servants who have been officials for a long time. They have the most lucrative industries in their hands.  What you earn in one day is more than ten thousand yuan?  With soldiers and wealth, Xiao Yan, the king of Yan County, became more powerful than Bianliang in a short period of time, even if he deliberately kept his distance.  Do not interfere in political affairs.  What will happen in the future is also unclear.  At least for now.  The people in Bianliang were all afraid of this Prince Yan, and they did not dare to say a word about what he did, even if they were gossiping in the market!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~ At this moment, outside Nanxun Gate, outside the newly established new military camp, a man wearing an old Japanese army red coat was lazily going to the river to fetch water.  A few miles away is the Xinli Camp, which occupies a large area and is magnificent.  I don¡¯t know how many people are still working day and night to complete all the building facilities that this camp should have as soon as possible.  There are scaffolds made of bamboo and wood everywhere. Small workers are shuttled in and out, and the foremen are commanding at the top of their voices.  Dozens or hundreds of cows dragging heavy rollers are compacting the playground.  While rushing to work, the new soldiers and horses of the camp were also pulled out for training one by one.  Either practice formations, practice strength, or operate equipment.  The half-completed playground was filled with shouts, and generals came and went to supervise and direct. Everyone was sweating profusely in the warm to cold weather.  The messenger ordered the riders to go back and forth, kicking up smoke and dust all the way.  Over the years, Bianliang has lost such a martial atmosphere!  The man stared blankly for a while, then began to put down the wooden bucket he was carrying to draw water.  At this moment, I heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, and turned my head to look.  It was a strong man who led three horses and was walking.  When he saw the man drawing water, he said hello: "Wang Da, are you here to draw water? What is your camp eating today? We have been eating meat every day for several days, but there are no good vegetables to eat with it. It is so dry that it makes us feel uncomfortable.  It¡¯s so hard.¡± The man who draws water is called Wang Da, and he has been serving in the imperial army for generations.  Going up to the ancestors, it can be said that Guo Que served as a soldier in Bianliang when he was a child.  He has been in many battles and achieved many military exploits.  But for his generation, it has been many generations since they have put on armor, picked up weapons, and practiced hard.  I work as a cook in the main store opened by the general every day, barely making ends meet.  Xiao Yan will lead the capitalThe army made a drastic change to the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army structure, in addition to selecting 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers.  The rest of the Forbidden Army must be resettled, which is nothing more than demobilizing them and completely relocating them to the industries originally controlled by the Forbidden Army generals. There are also some who have not participated in the February 2nd Mutiny and are honest and useful, and they will join the camp to serve as auxiliary soldiers.  Eat a share of food and wages.  Wang Da was selected, and he also had the ability to manage food, just for the first time.  The man holding the horse who greeted him was an acquaintance of Mr. Wang.  His name is Lu Yong.  That day, because he was both brave and unruly, he refused to be honest and was exploited by his superiors, so he was sent to guard the imperial army. After the dismantling, he suffered a lot.  Later, he risked his life and went with others to sell horses in the Northland, but he developed a lot of skills and courage, and his equestrian skills were also quite good.  The incident on February 2nd also brought out some strength, and Chen Wupo arrived early anyway and was included in the Shenwu ever-victorious army.  Immediately, he was granted the status of an envoy in the Ma Army, four pure copper non-hybrid notes per month, and a stone of rice to support his family.  Eat what is in the camp and use what is in the camp, and your life will become smoother immediately.  On that day, these horse traders were all outside Wang Da's main store, and they became familiar with Lu Yong after going back and forth.  At that time, Lu Yong was in poverty, but Wang Da was able to get several hundred civilians and military pay at 30% off every month, as well as two or three buckets of old grain.  Working as a cook in a main store, even if the superior officials exploited them severely, they would not be paid for their food and wages even if they received the royal salary.  But you can always mix in some food to visit the family.  But Lu Yong not only has to sell his life when he sells horses with others.  And according to the rules at this time.  The horse trader came and went once.  It often takes half a year to pay for work and food.  With only a few pitiful pieces of money, Wang Da and he were able to talk to each other fairly well. They helped Lu Yong several times through the cracks of his teeth, and the two of them even had some friendship.  Hearing what Lu Yong said seemed to be complaining but actually showing off, I thought that now I only use three hundred yuan and five measures of grain as my husband to serve these soldiers - even though it is much better than what I got after the deduction.  Wang Da always felt a little sour in his heart, so he immediately agreed: "Lu Dalang, aren't you an envoy? Why do you have to come from home to walk your horse? What's wrong with the soldiers below who don't obey you? Do you want me to teach you how to eat in the camp?  Lu Yong waved his hand: "Don't mention those new soldiers! How can you take care of a horse? You treat it well, and it will reward you for riding it."  After that, I had to let the horse drink water, and I didn't know how to control the sweat. I was not worried about food and accommodation.  Wine!" Wang Dahe said, not knowing what to say.  He doesn't understand the slightest thing about immediate skills.  Seeing Lu Yong's connoisseur look, I felt even more sour.  Now he is under the command of King Yanjun.  But it is the world of these fighting men!  Lu Yong got excited and kept chattering to himself: "It turns out that there is no one in the army who loves horses. For those who are healthy for the army, if they have a good horse, they will have one more life! Now the west is also buying horses, and the Liao people in the north are peaceful.  , there are also horses coming in. Our general said, there should be 6,000 war horses and 10,000 pack horses on the list. Let¡¯s take a look and see how many birds there are. The so-called horse army has to be trained from scratch. Some people have tough muscles.  It's hard to practice. How can the horse army fight like this?" He was frothing at the mouth and gesticulating.  Wealth and honor will not return to their hometown, but they will walk at night like clothes.  If you are proud and don't show off your superiority in front of old acquaintances, you are not a good girl.  The more he talked about it, the more excited he became: "I heard that Hedong Shenwu's ever-victorious army is really awesome! I'm afraid there are thousands of cavalry troops who can rush into the formation and shoot bows and arrows immediately! These are all people who can hedge against the Liao people and kill them.  There are even Jurchen Tatars who are ruthless and domineering people. With this horse army, I am not afraid of running around the world!  , I have just fulfilled my lifelong wish - the two generals, Han and Yue, have only been promoted from envoys to the king of Yan, but I can't do it? The two generals, Han and Yue, are just human beings." The more Wang Da listened, the less interesting he became!  , I just want to sue him and leave first.  But Lu Yong suddenly remembered something: "Dalang, you have a large family. Erlang and Sanlang are also in the Forbidden Army. We had a drink together that day. What is the arrangement now?" Speaking of his two brothers, Wang was in a great mood.  It's better.  The imperial army has been stationed in the capital for so many years.  The number of families is increasing day by day, and the number of additional troops is limited.  The children in the family could not make up the main army and could not withdraw from the army, so they could only help the soldiers and generals in the imperial army to make a living.  Being squeezed and exploited was even worse.  The two young men, Erlang and Sanlang, together did not have as much money as Wang Daxun.  The whole family is just struggling together. Except for Wang Da, who has a mother-in-law, the two men in their late thirties can only hold it in until their eyes turn green. But what can they do to get married and start a family without even talking about it?  Over the past hundred years, the Imperial Guard has become the biggest cancer.  The generals are arrogant and wealthy, but the soldiers are struggling to survive in this prosperous capital, even worse than ordinary people.  Centrifugation up and down consumes huge amounts of money.  In real history, the Jurchen army forced Bianliang, and the hundreds of thousands of imperial guards almost dispersed without any resistance.  It¡¯s not just that soldiers cannot fight without training, it¡¯s also that these hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers are unwilling to fight!  At that moment, Wang Da smiled a little and said:He put down the bucket and nodded: "Tofu asked, Erlang knows a few words because of his intelligence, and now he is running around in the football market for the injection room. Sanlang is more muddy, and he works hard in the oil mill to squeeze oil. Although he was retired as a soldier, he  , but I don¡¯t have nearly two taels of money, and I can buy food at my own food store. My life is pretty good. If I find the two of them someday, let¡¯s have a drink  I'm afraid that this good time will not last long, and the master will go back to his old ways. " Lu Yong snorted from his nostrils: "Look at how dare they do it! It used to be their own property, but now it is the property of King Yan.  You want to do big things to win people's hearts, how can you let the remaining generals take action? Wang Da, you just have to be open-minded. "Xiao Yan took over the Dumen Imperial Army Industry, which is nothing more than turning the original private enterprise into a state-owned enterprise.  The Shi family father and son and others who surrendered became the managers he hired.  Lu Yong is right. Now is the time when he wants to win over the military. How can he let the Shi family father and son and others take over?  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªIn a short period of time, these guys will never dare to stop.  Wang Da was still a little worried: "You think, can King Yan always stay in this position?" These words were a bit deep. If it wasn't because of his family's favor to Lu Yong, Wang Da would never dare to ask this question.  At this moment, in the Dumen Shenwu Changsheng Army, if the friendship between the officers and soldiers is sufficient, this is the topic they discuss the most with each other.  They are all considered new rich people who are attached to Xiao Yan, even though their friendship is not yet solid.  But everyone hopes that Xiao Yan can stabilize his position.  As long as Xiao Yan does not fall, why can't these formerly disgraced people follow Xiao Yan and become the new noble family of the Song Dynasty?  Lu Yong hesitated, looked around, and decided to continue to show off his sense of superiority, showing that he was well-informed in front of his old acquaintance, and that he was already considered a superior person who could know inside information.  "Wang Dalang, today is different from the past Although you gentlemen still look great. It seems that the military ministers can only make mud on the soles of their feet. But from the Western Army to the King of Yan who started his career as a Shenwu victorious army  , who can move those with strong soldiers and horses? The world is about to change! To be honest, our Shenwu Changsheng Army is nothing now, but as long as the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army is there, who can move the king of Yan now?  The Prime Minister hopes that he can drive King Yan away from the Hedong Army. Even if he becomes a vassal, it will not matter. It is better to fight with the Tatars and lose both sides. But the King of Yan understands.  , King Yan led us inside, the Western Army watched coldly and consolidated its position, waiting to bargain with King Yan. What else is King Yan afraid of?  You will live a good life under King Yan!" Wang Da listened with his eyes wide open, confused and not sure how much he understood.  Before Lu Yong could say anything else, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.  They were by the river, close to the road.  At this moment, I saw several tall horses passing by and a gust of wind seemed to blow by.  These mounts are extremely handsome and are worth hundreds of horses no matter where they are placed.  Athlete Ma's clothes and armor were old and there were many small scratches and scratches that had been repaired.  In addition, these athletes are tall and have long arms, and they are full of fierce and murderous aura.  At a glance, you can tell that compared to the Dumen Shenwu Ever Victorious Army, which only puts on airs and has a bright appearance now, it is unknown how much more real battle experience it is!  Such a good horse, such a good boy.  Now the horse is covered in sweat from running, and the man is so tired that he can't stand up straight on the horse.  I don¡¯t know how I managed to get here without sleep.  These troops did not stop and flew straight into the camp.  The first knight shouted at the general on duty patrolling the camp gate from a distance: "Hedong military report!" Lu Yong's expression changed and he looked at Wang Da: "Something happened in Hedong?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels  Better updates and faster!
