Text Chapter 153 Entering Beijing

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Zhi was awakened by a noisy noise.

The old man sleeps shallowly, and Wang Zhi's habit has not changed for many years, and he still likes to fall asleep in the middle of the night, so he gets up much later than ordinary old people.

The person was awakened from a deep sleep, and his temper was naturally much bigger, and he scolded at the moment: "Didn't you tell people not to make noise outside, who is so bold?" ”

Many servants did not dare to answer, Wang Zhi has a reputation for loyalty and integrity, but it does not mean that he does not kill people, and pirates cannot achieve such a career if they do not kill people.

If Wang Zhi was really annoyed, he wouldn't do anything here, so he returned to the sea, tied a few people hand and foot, and threw them headfirst into the sea, which was convenient and trouble-free.

"It's those Fujian barbarians." A sturdy man with a beard on his face walked in, sat at the head of Wang Zhi's bed, and said with a smile: "What is that Nan'an Shizi, there are really fresh tricks, take people to get up before dawn in the morning, and then go out and run for ten miles, scrub and change clothes after coming back, and then line up. ”

"Ten miles or so?" Wang Zhi got up and put on his clothes, his gray hair was messy, and a concubine wanted to come and tidy up, but he waved it away.

"I heard that I run every day." The middle-aged man who gave the gift yesterday also walked over, glared at his beard with a smile, and said, "Lu Qi, you are a fucking barbarian." ”

"Deng Wenjun, don't think that Lao Tzu is afraid of you." Lu Qi is a native of Mingzhou, Zhejiang, and is Wang Zhi's confidant and favorite general, leading his guards. Deng Wenjun is a heavy general who defends one side for Wang Zhizhen, the two have known each other for more than 20 years, and they are used to laughing and scolding each other.

Wang Zhi ignored them, but was slightly moved by Deng Wenjun's words, nodded, and said: "No wonder the Pu family can't get the Nan'an regiment to train, this is how the soldiers are trained." ”

Lu Qi disagreed, and said: "Brothers, they can practice martial arts themselves, they don't want to die and want to save their lives, aren't you stupid if you don't practice martial arts?" What kind of strength is running hard, I usually have that kung fu, and it's not good to drink alcohol and eat meat. ”

Deng Wenjun shook his head and said: "The king is right, there must be rules and regulations for military training, you are a pirate's method, and you are really a master of the system, and you have to use the method of Nan'an Shizi to practice well." ”

They are still accustomed to using the old name, and they are directly referred to as the king.

"Remember to change your words after entering Beijing." Wang Zhi instructed Deng Wenjun, got up in his clothes, and several concubines rushed over to put on a silk jacket for Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was impatient, hurriedly buttoned himself, pushed the door and walked out.

The building was very large, and Wang Zhi lived in a separate courtyard, and when he walked to the door, the Nan'an Hou Mansion was already finishing quickly.

While traveling, Xu Zixian did not relax his control over the generals.

On the ship, he trained with equipment, and his daily living time was still according to the rules of Nan'an, and he did not relax at all.

After going ashore, I immediately resumed physical training, but the amount of training was a little lower than normal.

After all, it is necessary to conserve physical strength, just in case.

After the physical training, everyone is wrapped up, either on horseback or behind their backs.

All of them were dressed in cyan robes and hats, and they were dressed as generals of the Hou Mansion.

Xu Zi entered Beijing first, with his companions, servants, and guards, the scale of less than 200 people is also very good, and he will not be taken out by people with a heart to find fault.

It is also a must to do, everyone must stand in place at the specified time, this is an iron military law, even Xu Zixian himself is also constrained.

Only Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and other scribes, they don't need to abide by the rules of the regimental training army, so they can drink tea and wait in the house all day, and just set off together on horseback for a while.

When ordering, each Wu stands together, responds to the name, points slightly with both feet, and then stands at a rest, and waits for another Wu to be good, the two Wu converge in one place, form a team, and then wave their arms lightly and walk together to the post where they are.

The soldiers and the generals were organized into six sentinels, three of them, the first and the second of which had already been ordered, and each of them held a long sword or lined up according to the barrier knife, waiting for the next military order.

There are many guests watching, the team in front of them is not huge, some princes or princes who are outside, or according to the ministers to return to Beijing, it is normal to bring hundreds of people to escort them.

But as in front of them, with strict military orders and well-behaved teams, they are really the first time they have seen them.

"Hou Shizi of Nan'an, a good soldier!" Wang looked straight at it for a while, but his face was full of horror.

Wang Zhi turned his head to Lu Wenjun and said, "What you said is right! Such a military is the serious division of the Great Wei Economic System, no, it still wins! ”

Xu Zixian's method of queue came from later generations, and it was something that the classical and modern armies had tempered and summed up.

The first queue of the army, even if it is a modern army, is only trained with strict rules through a gesture, even if it is standing, sitting, sleeping, so that ordinary people can be transformed into professional soldiers who obey orders in everything.

Even if it is a soldier who is brave in his personal martial arts, unruly, and unable to enforce the internal affairs regulations of the queue, Xu Zixian will definitely not want it.

After half a year of training, the implementation of these rules in each group training has been deeply rooted in the bones, and even if no one is alone, there are certain rules for sitting and gestures, as if there is a rope to hold it.

This is a truly well-trained soldier, just imagine a soldier who completely abides by the rules in everything in life, how can he not obey orders when he is in battle?

Of course, in addition to the queue and physical fitness, the method of formation and personal skills are also trained every day without stopping.

Wang Zhi's vision is so vicious, he has been crisscrossing the sea for 40 years, not only has he seen the forbidden army of the Great Wei, the warriors of the Wa King, the forbidden army of the Bohai Kingdom, the Eastern Hu soldiers, the Northern Captives, but also the armies of the Nanyang countries, the elite cavalry of the Tianfang Kingdom, and the crusaders of the European countries that have just risen up and have begun to compete for supremacy on the sea...... Wang Zhi has seen the army, I am afraid that he can't count them even if he adds up his hands and feet.

The samurai of the Wa King were similar to the pirates, and they were very brave and brave, and the method of battle was very bad, nothing more than waving the flag around, and the lord of the country thought that his own army was strong, and the samurai were loyal and brave in battle.

As a result, Kang Tianqi led more than 10,000 pirates, and even broke the warriors of the feudal domains, and since then his country has known that the fighting method of waving knives is useless, and they can't even beat pirates.

The navy of the Heavenly Kingdom is relatively backward, and it can only patrol and defend with large pulp ships in the coastal waters, and the sea power is very weak, otherwise it will not be able to raise a big thief like Pu Xingfeng.

But their cavalry is quite elite, and once a large number of pirates tried to log in to the heavenly side to plunder, but they were wiped out by the brave cavalry of the heavenly kingdom, and they were not their opponents at all.

Tianfang's cavalry style is fierce and brave, skillful in battle formation, and extremely well-equipped.

Donghu's cavalry was somewhat inferior in equipment, but more tenacious, more ferocious and savage.

The forbidden army of Great Wei was in between, not as well equipped as the Tianfang soldiers, nor as savage and ferocious as the Donghu soldiers, but better equipped than the Donghu soldiers, and more tenacious and warlike than those Nanyang countries and the Japanese people.

Of course, the forbidden army is also strong and weak, the Great Wei forbidden army is 800,000 people, hundreds of armies, and it is impossible for them to be ordinary elite and good at fighting.

Although Wang Zhi has seen a lot, it is the first time he has seen such an army as ordered and forbidden as in front of him, and his gestures are uniform.

Shock and shock are inevitable, although Lu Qi's evaluation of such behavior is too neat and too fancy, Wang Zhi understands how much effort and effort it takes to train ordinary bankers to look like this.

can train the people into such an elite as in front of them, this kind of training ability, looking at the world, there is really no second person who can do it.

"No wonder Nan'an, the Pu family planted such a big heel." Wang Zhi said such a thing for the second time, but the last time it was just polite, and this time it was sincere.

Deng Wenjun nodded and said: "The king is looking for this prince of Nan'an, although it is a temptation, this move is right." ”

"What's right?" Lu Qi shook his head and said: "I have seen a lot of such a princely clan, those who have the ability are ambitious, and those who are not capable are not responsible." What are the benefits of us finding such people to cooperate? ”

"I hope it's available, and it's better not to use it." Deng Wenjun didn't refute it, over the years, whether it was a clan or a civil and military official, the faces of the powerful people of Great Wei had indeed seen too much.

"This son is different from ordinary people." Wang Zhi said: "It's not a layman, when we also arrive in Beijing, Wenjun, you can go to the lower place of the Hou Shizi of Nan'an to walk around when you are free, to be honest, even if someone wants to deal with the old man, the old man will not point to a junior to save his life, but this son is not an ordinary person, and it is not bad to make friends." The old man is old, and it is always good for you to be more in phase with some such characters. ”

Deng Wenjun knew that Wang Zhi was planning to hand over the foundation to himself and others, Wang Zhi's son was young, and he would not be convinced by the public, the pirates said that they were beautiful, but there were few loyal and upright people, Deng Wenjun was still shocked by a prime-aged leader like Deng Wenjun, and Wang Zhi's young son was really killed one day.

In addition to considering his own safety and young son, Wang Zhi is of course most concerned about Pingdao Foundation.

This large piece of foundation is there, and after a few years, Wang Zhi will return to his hometown to retire, in addition to the protection of the court officials, so as not to let people seek to seize the family property, there must still be a good foundation, so that the court can not turn its face and deny it.

This painstaking effort mainly fell on Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai, one of the two is a Fujian person, a Mingzhou person, Lu Sihai's brother Lu Qi is the leader of Wang Zhi's guard, this time into Beijing, Deng Wenjun and others followed, Lu Sihai was stationed on Pingdao, once there was a change, he immediately rebelled again, harassed the coastal areas of Jinhai and Jinggi, so that the imperial court knew that it was powerful, these were Wang Zhi's plans before he went ashore.

As for the strength of Kang Tianqi and others, before this, everyone had already helped out, and the favor should not be owed again and again, the matter at the bottom is Wang Zhi's own business, and it has nothing to do with others, and the old friendship is almost used up.

"I can save it, don't worry, the king." Deng Wenjun knew what Wang Zhi meant, and in the future, he would be in charge of Wang Zhi's old department, and it would be impossible to keep confined to the north, and if he wanted to make a fortune, he would either go to the south to rob the sea, or go to trade.

There are not many of Wang Zhi's subordinates who are willing to rob directly, which is also due to the influence of Wang Zhi's acting style.

Besides, looting will destroy commerce and trade, and if there is no ship at sea for a long time, will you go fishing?

Even the most vicious Pu Xing Feng only taxed the merchant ships of the Heavenly Side, protected the passage of merchant ships, and encouraged trade...... The more ships shipped, the greater the benefits of the pirates, and even if they did not directly participate in trade, the tax collection alone was already a flow of oil called Pu Xing Feng Fat.

In the future, if Deng Wenjun and others go to Minhai, they may clash with Pu Xingfeng, Yan Qi, Liu Dan and others, and collude with local forces in Fujian in advance, which is extremely beneficial to the future layout.

"The king really has no last resort." Deng Wenjun said sincerely: "I hope that the prince of Nan'anhou will not disappoint us." ”

……

Jinhai Port was originally just an ordinary village, since the Great Wei Taizu moved the capital to Yanjing, there are ports and rivers here, the canal transit is to Tongzhou, and Haicao comes, mainly to Jinhai transit.

After more than 200 years of development, this place was originally a prosperous place with dense villages and towns and extremely dense people, but when Xu Zixian and others went north, there was a barren place everywhere they looked.

Donghu entered the country three times, invaded Jinhai again and again, in addition to the rebuilding of the port area, several military villages in Jinhai are also intact, the original county seat has been destroyed, and it has not been restored.

Once prosperous, the rich scene of the village stretching to the foot of the capital is no longer visible.

There are deserted villages everywhere along the way, only a few villages along the official roads and canals still have some popularity, and some people are barely gathered to form smaller towns, which are used by passing merchants and tourists along the way to rest and sharpen.

For two days along the way, almost all of them passed in such a scene, full of white bones, deserted villages, blood-red man-eating wild dogs, Gao Shilai and Tian Heng, Jin Jian and others had to shoot dozens of wild dogs every day, and later found that they couldn't kill them, so they could only get rid of them.

Such a scene made people feel like walking in hell, and the mood of the young tooth generals was greatly affected, and the rest of them were sad in their eyes and unhappy.

If you deduce from the situation in front of you, you can imagine how tragic the situation was at that time, countless barbarian soldiers and horses galloped to the horse, slashed with knives, and stabbed with spears, how many originally happy and healthy families, how many dreams, were shattered in an instant.

The tragedy in Zhangzhou, Fujian Road, has made many people sad until now, but when they saw the deserted villages that stretched for hundreds of miles and countless white bones that could not be collected, many people knew that the incident in Zhangzhou back then was only a small scene compared to the north.

"It's really chaotic, not as good as a peace dog." On the evening of the third day, everyone arrived outside the Nanxun Gate of Jingshi, which is commonly known as the Great South Gate of Jingshi.

The popularity of the suburbs of the Beijing division recovered better, after all, there were a large number of forbidden troops stationed inside and outside the Beijing division, and the three Donghu invasions never thought of being able to capture Yanjing, this city was originally more than 30 miles in circumference, and later expanded, the circumference of the outer south city was 19 miles, and the circumference of the inner city was 31 miles, adding up to exactly 50 miles. The city wall is all rammed earth after the bricks, the bricks and stones are all glutinous rice glued, incomparably strong, the arrows can not be destroyed to the city foundation at all, the ordinary stone bullets hit the city wall, but also collapse a few small openings, the city is more than three zhang high, more than ten meters high, the city foundation is solid and thick, hundreds of thousands of city walls and perforations, urn city, arrow tower, city tower and Tibetan soldier hole are very many, constitute a very stable defense system.

As long as the forbidden army does not collapse, there are soldiers and horses stationed, such a city fortification is not at all the world's siege method can be overcome, plus the city has sufficient grain reserves, Tongzhou defense is also quite strong, and Yanjing defense as a whole, Tongzhou warehouse grain storage is always more than 10 million stones, Yanjing City is surrounded by river water, no grain, no water is impossible, so Donghu three times, the ravages can only be caused by dozens of states and counties around Gyeonggi, Jinhai and other places, the most damaged.

When he arrived at Nanxun Gate, Chen Zuocai went to go through the formalities of entering the city, handed over the seal letter to the city gate official who guarded the city, reported the intention, counted the luggage, the number of people, if it was an ordinary business traveler, it was necessary to go through the tax procedures outside the inner city Renhe Gate, like Xu Zixian, who entered Beijing to attack the lord and came to the lock hall to test, of course, it was not included in the tax list.

"The prince must hurry to the Ministry of Rites and the Privy Council to go through the reporting procedures for the lock hall test." The gatekeeper was kind and reminded Xu Zixian: "The entrance examination will start in a few days, and the city will be full of people who have come to take the exam in the past few days." ”

"I don't know what Brother Zizhang is preparing?" Wei Yi poked his head out of the carriage behind Xu Zixian, still holding a book in his hand.

Wei Yi also went north with Xu Zixian on the same boat, but he listened to Xu Zixian's persuasion along the way, and he studied every day.

Wei Yi resigned from the newspaper before, and he was at home to prepare for the exam before the year and the year, he was originally an official gentleman and a scholarly family, and his foundation was very solid since he was a child.

Xu Zixian remembered that Wei Yi had failed the exam, and he had been lonely and depressed for a long time, since he was a friend, he might be a relative in the future, of course Xu Zixian couldn't bear to see Wei Yi fall off the list, no matter what happened at this time, Wei Yi was not allowed to come out, he was locked in the room every day to read, and even when he was in a hurry, he specially prepared a carriage for Wei Yi, and he had to endorse Wen Shu when he was up and down in the carriage every day.

Now that Wei Yi finally had a chance to stretch out his head and take a breath, Jin Jian and Gao Shilai, who were already familiar with Wei Yi, laughed at the young tooth generals on the side.

"Alright, let's get some air." Xu Zixian scolded with a smile: "Yanke, you look so cautious, people still think I locked you up." ”

"Speaking of which, I'm your second brother." Wei Yi jumped out of the carriage, changed to a horse to ride, and said in high spirits: "There are still a few days to take the exam, tell me to rest and take a breath." ”

Xu Zixian nodded, he also knew the truth of being too late, and immediately said: "Let's go to the city to find Brother Zhang first......

"You want to find me?"

Everyone entered the city while talking, and the officials guarding the city gate stopped the ordinary people, and the people from the Anhou Mansion in Denan walked through the city gate together.

On the side of the city gate, Xu Xingwei was already standing on the side of the road waiting, hearing Xu Zixing's words, Xu Xingwei scolded with a smile: "You may not see me as too unrighteous, knowing that you are coming, I have been waiting here every day after noon." ”

"My own brother, I won't say anything." Xu Zixian hugged Xu Xingwei affectionately, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhang seems to be very idle in the martial arts hall?" ”

"It's very leisurely." Xu Xingwei's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Don't talk about these gossips, I'll accompany you to the Good Family Pavilion." ”

The Great Wei Dynasty has a guest house externally, which is dedicated to entertaining foreign envoys, wealthy businessmen with sufficient status, etc., and the internal officials live in Chaotianyi, which is a large post house in Beijing, which is specially designed to entertain those officials who enter Beijing to report on their work and will soon leave Beijing. There is also a goodwill hall, which is specially used to entertain the clan.

Xu Zi was the prince of the prince who first entered Beijing to attack the lord, and of course he had to live in the Muqin Pavilion.

"The newspapers in Jingshi are very concerned about Mingda's whereabouts." When everyone got on the horse, Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "There have been many newspapers that have published the events of Nan'an's great victory one after another, and they have praised you for Mingda. When I was in Beijing, many officials and scholars passed on your two articles, the first one is called vernacular prose, people praise your filial piety, and the latter one is a sketch note, many people praise your penmanship concisely, which is a rare high-quality essay, and it is quite a complaint for Han Bingzhong, Lin Douyao and others. In addition to the battle of Nan'an, Mingda's regimental training defeated the pirates, beheaded thousands of levels, and it was praised in Beijing for a while, and people said that you are a young hero in the clan, a rising star, and your future achievements are afraid that they will not be under the current King of Qi...... Even if it's me, everyone knows that I have a good relationship with you, and even as a brother, I have a lot of light. ”

"I'm afraid I've suffered a little bit too, right?" Xu Zixian said: "The head of the Wutang Mountain is the left minister, of course he is not in charge, and the deputy mountain chief Li Tingming is also the party of the left minister, you are in the position of teaching and learning in the Wutang, I am afraid that you will be quite involved?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't plan to stay in Beijing to serve, there are a lot of controls in the Beijing sect, it is better to leave Beijing to serve after taking the martial arts exam, and it is best to go back to Fujian." ”

"It's best for you to go back to Fujian." Xu Zixian said: "Our brothers are still in one place, and we can make a career." ”

"I'll listen to you." Xu Xingwei said: "Mingda, you are much stronger than me and Yanke in terms of status and future development now, anyway, I listen to you, what do you think, Yanke?" ”

"Go with the Chu prisoner." Wei Yi smiled and told Xu Xingwei about being disciplined all the way, and finally said: "If I don't have the same opinion as Zizhang, why am I at the mercy of Mingda?" ”

"Haha......" Xu Xingwei laughed for a while, and then continued: "Yanke, you are obedient!" Mingda must be in the middle, and he is quite sure of his brother, if you fall into the first place, when the time comes, you will be alone, and you will not feel good for your brother and Mingda. ”

Two chapters and one chapter were posted.
