The Great Song Forbidden Army, in the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, was very different.

The Northern Song Dynasty was the peak of the forbidden army, the front division of the palace and the guards formed the three ya, mastered the most elite force in the country, the forbidden army at that time, divided into the guard army and the garrison army, in addition to the emperor's personal guard of the sun, Shenwu and other guards, other forbidden troops were rotated to fight on the border.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, with the increasingly fierce foreign wars, and the practice of selecting strong and excellent soldiers to hand over to the forbidden army was no longer followed in various places, the local forbidden army represented by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other garrison troops gradually grew.

This also led to the Southern Song Dynasty in the late Gaozong period set off the habit of suppressing military generals and reusing Wenchen to command the army, but due to the needs of military confrontation, it had to station a large number of troops on the border outside the center, which was dispatched by local generals.

Since the end of the Song Dynasty, the military strength of the whole country has been divided into two asymmetrical parts, and the original most powerful central forbidden army has gradually declined, while the local garrison army has gradually grown, forming a situation in which the local area is stronger than the central government.

Because of this, the Southern Song Dynasty's control over local officials was also stronger, lest the military generals sit on a higher vigilance than any dynasty, that is, they hope that the local enemy will be rejected from the country, and they are afraid of the release of the official merit to cover the master, such contradictory psychological reaction in action, is to constantly self-destruct the Great Wall.

Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Lizong, the number of the central forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty still had hundreds of thousands on the books, but in fact, there were only tens of thousands of people left in the Lin'an area. Most of the others are located outside Jinghu and Lianghuai.

Among the tens of thousands of people who stayed behind in Lin'an Gongwei Jingshi, a lot of them were paid empty salaries, and only about two-thirds of the real soldiers were removed, and even fewer soldiers who could fight were removed.

Because Lin'an is in the rear, it has not felt the pressure of the front line for decades, and the soldiers and generals of the Central Forbidden Army are all old soldiers, and the children of the nobles are full of them, and these people's ability to play birds and dogs is much stronger than fighting, so when they heard the news that the Central Forbidden Army was going to go out to fight, the whole capital was boiling.

Countless people are running, rushing to find connections and transfer away, just to avoid going to the battlefield.

In the first month of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty Baoyou, after obtaining the emperor's consent, the Privy Council mobilized the main force of the forbidden army near Lin'an, as well as the left wing army of the Quanzhou Dianqian Division in Fujian, the right wing army of the Qiansi Division of the Jiangxi Palace, and the Zhenfeng Army of the Qiansi of the Guangdong Palace, a total of more than 50,000 people, rushed to the Jinghu and Lianghuai fronts to deploy defenses, and the wording was stern and there must be no mistakes.

At the same time, in order to fill the vacuum of the military strength of the Beijing Division, Lu Wende, the commander of Mi Prefecture, led troops to be stationed on the periphery of Lin'an, thinking that the capital would be defended.

And the guards of the former Sijing Division of the Forbidden Army Palace, Zhu Banzhi, did not move, after all, these were the guards of the imperial city, and Jia Yidao still did not dare to transfer them casually.

Outside Lin'an City, the military academy is forbidden.

The sky was clear, and the cold wind in winter was blowing strongly, raising the red tassels on the tall bodies of the soldiers in the air, like a fiery ocean.

In the wide open space, Su Liuyi, the commander of the forbidden army horse army, was wearing iron armor, pressing a long knife in his hand, standing high above the healthy horse, the tassel peacock feathers on his head fluttered in the wind, and the hunting black hair behind him was like a giant sail.

The mighty forbidden army is lined up horizontally and vertically, neatly and orderly, the army is armed with spears and halberds, crossbows and strong bows at the waist, and the blades are flashing, and the birds in the sky dare not cross it.

"Wang Jian, after I leave, the capital will ask you." Su Liuyi's expression was serious, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but solemnly turned his head to the black-faced general beside him and said in a deep voice: "The former division of the Imperial Army Palace, the Royal Dragon Four Straight Twelve Classes, are all majestic men, they are the Great Inner Gong Guard, and they are the most elite army in the capital, except for Lu Wende's Mizhou Army, this team is the most powerful, you are the Imperial Dragon Zhidu Yu Hou, the direct official of the Imperial Dragon Straight, and I will hand it over to you in the future." ”

The black-faced king clenched his fists steadily, and replied sonorously: "Lord Su, rest assured, with my king's strong presence, the imperial city will be as stable as a rock!" ”

"Good! How difficult the country is, my generation is deeply favored by the emperor, when you stand up and bear a thousand pounds, you say so, I am very pleased. ”

Hearing his promise, Su Liuyi couldn't help but smile on his face, he looked at the sun, didn't say much, and said a few more words, waved his hand, and more than 10,000 forbidden troops standing on the school field obeyed the order, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they embarked on the right path.

The generals who stayed behind of the forbidden army and the officials in Beijing who saw them off all stood in place and watched the army leave.

When the dust settled, the people dispersed in twos and threes, Wang Jian stood for a while, rubbing until the surroundings were empty, and then he slowly got on the horse and walked away with a few relatives.

It's just that he didn't return to the duty room of the front division of the palace, but went straight to the outer city of Lin'an.

In a small deserted courtyard outside the city gate, Wang Jian went in and took a turn, and when he came out, he no longer rode a horse, but got into a carriage with a shed, and the thick curtain of the carriage blocked the carport, so that outsiders could not see who was sitting inside.

The entourage did not follow, and the carriage was driven by a strange man, and entered the city from the east gate of Lin'an, and went around the outer city, through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a very ordinary street shop.

Wang Jian wore a wide felt hat on his head, a coarse cloth robe, and the military uniform did not know where to take off, and then got off the car with his head down, and a low-eyed shopkeeper came out of the shop, and took him into the shop.

If any of the many villagers who went to Fushun with Baozheng of Lijia Village to sell illicit salt were here twenty years ago, then he would definitely feel that this black-faced Wang Jian was very familiar.

If he had a good memory, he would have remembered that this Wang Jian was the same child who crossed the river on the river that night for the smuggled salt dealers in Lijia Village.

Wang Jian, who has grown up, walked through the hall in front of the shop and went straight into the backyard under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

The backyard was silent, and the shopkeeper looked left and right, and removed a messy bush of firewood and grass in the yard, revealing a hole.

The shopkeeper stepped aside and bowed to signal, but Wang Jian didn't say a word, and bent down to get in.

A moment later, Wang Jian patted the soil on his body and appeared in another courtyard about ten steps away from the shop.

The courtyard is a courtyard house, the gate is closed, and no one knows what is going on inside.

Without waiting for Wang Jian to clean the soil, the door of a side room opened, and a person walked out and greeted Wang Jian with a smile.

"Brother Dog!" Wang Jian's dark face bloomed with a knowing smile: "You came in person?" "I want to talk about "Lisong" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
