Chapter 050: Uninvited Guest
"You get out of the way quickly, or be careful of military law!" Outside the palace of the king of Wei, a samurai in armor with a sword in his hand shouted to a soldier guarding the door.
"No one is allowed to enter without the orders of His Highness!" The soldier guarding the door was dressed in cloth clothes and had no armor, but his momentum was not weak at all, and he strode to block the door with cold eyes, seeing that he was holding the handle of the knife, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Jiang Yu, don't be rude!" Seeing the tension between the two sides, an old man stepped forward quickly and said in a deep voice.
"Father, this guy is too rude, the son revealed his identity and intentions, and handed over the door post, but he tried his best to stop it, and now he is still ...... after saying all the good things," the samurai said angrily after taking a step back and saluting. Thinking about it, the sergeant is the civilian army, and he actually let him block the way when he joined the army with weapons in front of the palace, and his father's identity is even more noble, and it is really embarrassing to be blocked at the door together.
"Nonsense, you dare to be wild in the palace, and the following offenders will go back and take twenty military sticks by yourself!" Seeing the young warrior arguing, the old man's face sank and said, "Little brother, Sima Jiang Wanzai, the former forbidden army secretary of the old man's palace, asks to see His Royal Highness King Wei, please let me know!" The old man turned to the door army and said kindly.
"Lord Jiang, Your Highness is doing your homework, and you have ordered no one to disturb you, please wait or come back at the right time!" The soldier knew that he respected the old and loved the young, and his face softened slightly, but he still blocked the door and did not mean to get out of the way.
'Poof......' Jiang Yu, who had just been reprimanded and looked depressed, couldn't help laughing when he heard it, thinking that this soldier was cute, King Wei was just a six-year-old child, he actually took his words seriously, and took them out seriously as an excuse to prevent them from entering, which was really funny, but his father immediately shut up when he glanced at it.
"Ahem...... Let's wait. Jiang Wanzai was also very surprised, even the emperor would not let him wait outside the palace for a long time when he asked to see him as an identity, but he was closed in a prince's mansion, and this gate army obviously knew his identity, but he was not accommodating, which made him a little stunned, and said with a wry smile.
"Father's ......"
"Wait!" Jiang Wanzai didn't look at Jiang Yu, he only said one word, and stood outside the mansion gate with a calm face, as if he didn't feel that something was wrong at all, but Jiang Yu was indignant and dissatisfied with it.
"Palace, there is something interesting for you to listen to this righteous bravery, I have never heard it sung in the army before." At this time, an old man in cloth who followed behind Jiang Wanzai's father and son pointed to the volunteer team that was training outside the mansion and said.
"Oh!" Jiang Wanzai turned his body and listened, only to hear the volunteers singing: "The three armies listen carefully, and the people must love the people before marching: don't be lazy in camping first, don't demolish people's houses and move bricks and stones, don't kick seedlings and spoil the fields, don't beat folk ducks and chickens, don't borrow folk pots and bowls, don't send people to dig trenches, don't go to people's homes to eat, don't pick fish ponds to carry water, and give way to everything; The second line of the road should be careful, don't go into the town to occupy a shop, don't borrow a village from the countryside, don't talk about side dishes if you have no money, don't eat cheap tea if you don't have money; The third order must be strict, the soldiers are not allowed to go out of the camp in a disorderly manner, and when they go out of the camp, they will learn badly, and it is always the people who come to suffer, or go to the people to blackmail money, or go to the small family to transfer women. The army that loves the people is happy everywhere, and the army that disturbs the people is suspicious everywhere. The sergeant and the people are like a family, and they must not bully him, and they sing love folk songs every day, and the heavens and the earth are harmonious and the people are ......"
"It's hard to get into the hall of elegance in the countryside." Jiang Yu pouted and said.
"The fourth son's words are bad, this song sounds vulgar, but it makes sense." The old man in cloth shook his head and said.
"Hmph, ignorant child, are you a scholar who has studied hard for many years in the army, and less than half of them can understand the text and ink, how can you understand the elegant things in your mouth, and know the meaning, but these slang songs and folk songs are easy to understand, catchy, and easy to understand as soon as you listen to them." Jiang Wanzai reprimanded.
"Yes, my son has been taught." Jiang Yu bowed his head and replied.
"Palace Marshal, it seems that there are capable people in this Wei Wang's Mansion, and it is a stubborn disease in the army for the soldiers to disturb the people, and the people are also suffering from it. The old man in cloth said with admiration on his face, "Little brother, what is the name of this song, and who composed it?" He turned his face to Ni Liang again.
"Uncle, the name of this song is "Love Folk Song", which was composed by our Royal Highness, and the generals in the palace should be able to sing it." Ni Liang arched his hand and replied. Although he has a tendon, he also knows that it is enough to stop, people wait quietly, and he doesn't find trouble for himself, so naturally there is no need to face him coldly.
"Is it His Royal Highness the King of Wei?" The old man in cloth was a little surprised.
"Why not! The song "Song of the Goose" by King Luo Bin at the age of seven has been circulated for a hundred years, and Mengchen You are also a seven-year-old high school 'Tongziju', and you became famous as a teenager!" Jiang Wanzai smiled disapprovingly and said.
"The palace marshal has an overreputation, and he is ashamed, how dare he compare with the sages, and the palace marshal is far behind, and when he was seven years old, he could only memorize the "Nine Classics", and he would never be able to make this song of loving the people." The old man in cloth waved his hand again and again.
If Zhao Yu heard these words at this time, he would definitely have to be ashamed of himself. In the Song Dynasty, children under the age of ten were recommended by the state officials to enter the imperial court for the examination, and sometimes the emperor himself was given the right to study in the secret pavilion, which was equivalent to the juvenile class in a modern university. When you complete your studies, you can be given the birth of a jinshi, or you can be awarded an official. In the Southern Song Dynasty, only about ten people were admitted to the country in a children's examination, and the old man in cloth was seven years old and passed the "Yi", "Shu", "Poem", "Zuo Chuan", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", "Filial Piety", "Analects", "Mencius" Nine Classics, high school children's lift, is indeed outstanding.
"Mengchen is too humble." Jiang Wanzai smiled and said, "What do you think of the combat power of this army?" ”
"The palace marshal, I think this army is in its infancy, and the formation is still rusty and slightly scattered, but it can already be heard that the golden drum is well founded, so it can be seen that the generals who lead the troops are good at teaching war. And the sergeants in the audience are also selected strong men, with a killing spirit in their eyes, they must have fought in battle, and seeing their roars like thunder and rapid movements, they must have strict military discipline and high morale. As long as you polish it carefully, you will be an elite teacher one day. The old man in cloth said after a moment of silence.
"Well, Mengchen is worthy of being the one who once led the army to fight, in a word. But do you see where the army of the Church War will come from? Jiang Wanzai nodded and asked again.
"Hiss......" They stood outside the gate of the mansion, this is the commanding height, the situation on the school field can be seen at a glance, the old man in cloth clothes looked at it for a moment and suddenly took a breath, and said in surprise, "In the protégé's shallow opinion, the training methods of the officers who teach the war seem to come from the Flying Tiger Army, the Left Wing Army and the Huai Army respectively. ”
"Hehe, Mengchen has good eyesight, and the subtleties can't be hidden from you." Jiang Wanzai said with a smile on his head: The armies of all countries should have a unified training method, but because of the different generals and backgrounds of the generals who lead the troops, each army will also form different styles and adopt different methods, and the subtleties between them cannot be seen by those who understand the affairs of the army.
"The three armies used to be the strongest forces of our dynasty, and now they are gathered in one army, I really don't know if it is providence." As soon as the old man in cloth heard it, he knew that he was right, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The Tanzhou 'Flying Tiger Army' was founded by Xin Qiji in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and when it was in Fuxiang, due to the outbreak of small-scale peasant uprisings many times, he asked the imperial court to establish a local army to maintain local security. After the Flying Tiger Army became an army, the army discipline was strict, morale was strong, and the Jin people were brave and good at fighting. It was the most elite contingent in the local armies along the Yangtze River at that time, which lasted for thirty or forty years and became the military pillar for maintaining the political situation in Hunan in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty.
In the early stage, the Flying Tiger Army, as a local armed force, had nothing to do with it because of the moderation of the commanders and ministers, once the officials left, even Xin Qiji. It is precisely because the Flying Tiger Army does not have the characteristics of private force that it was recognized by the Southern Song Dynasty. In the later period, the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty was overwhelmed, local armies were established one after another, and the Flying Tiger Army was repeatedly transferred to the front line to fight, and its reputation was remarkable. After Xiaozong, the local armed forces gradually changed to the national armed forces, and the areas defended were almost half of the areas of the Southern Song Dynasty. Until the late period of Emperor Lizong, the Flying Tiger Army was still a strong force of "Su Lian", "the northern captives were quite fearful", and they were known as the "Tiger Army". Not only that, but the Flying Tiger Army also derived other armies with a number of only two or three thousand, and its importance is self-evident, and the Zhenzhou Army has always been a branch of it.
The Quanzhou 'Left Wing Army' was also a local army, and it had repeatedly achieved good results in quelling local rebellions, so much so that on the occasion of high and filial piety, the Song court wanted to requisition it to the north to participate in the military operations of the Imperial Jin and even the Northern Expedition. After that, the Song court faced internal and external troubles, the government deteriorated, and the central government was unable to strengthen army training and boost combat strength. However, this change not only increased the authority of the local governor, but also highlighted the complex relationship and entanglement of interests between various local forces, one side is the guardian of social order, and the other side is the supplier of living resources.
In the late Song Dynasty, when the regime was in danger of survival, in order to save the country and survive, the appointment of local governors no longer adhered to the customary system of avoiding nationality, and after the situation of a local scholar Tian Zhenzi serving as the governor of Quanzhou, the various forces in Quanzhou had a closer relationship with each other, and the common interests of the local government were bound to unite each other's strength and form the concept of local priority. This concept also dominated their subsequent political choices, so that they became Pu Shougeng's accomplices and rebelled against the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, which is also the reason why the Jinjiang East Shizhai Water Army was abandoned by the imperial court although it made great contributions in the Quanzhou Revolution, and they were also subordinate to the Left Wing Army.
Not to mention, the Huai Army was first adapted and derived from the Han Shizhong Department and Zhang Jun Department in the army of Marshal Gaozong's army, and has been stationed in the Lianghuai region. Here is in the front line of the anti-Jin, a hundred years of swords and soldiers, years of baptism of war made the Huai army become the most effective force in the Great Song Dynasty, but in the war with the Yuan constantly adjusted the defense, the elite is gradually exhausted, but the remnants of the army is still the backbone of the Song Dynasty, for the protection of the Quanzhou court stationed here two thousand Huai troops, but unfortunately most of them were killed and wounded in the attack of Pu Shou Geng.
The Flying Tiger, the Left Wing and the Huai Army have all had glory, formed their own unique character and heritage, and became the mainstay of the Song army......
