Chapter 63: Di Qing
The small shop of "only selling 500 bowls" made the Jade King remember deeply.
But I have to say that the noodles at the small shop are indeed very delicious.
Mei Xiaohan, Jade King, Ouyang Xiu and the gourd immortal sat down separately.
The menus of the two restaurants are almost identical, and it looks like a branch of the same owner, but the price of the noodles has changed again.
The price of the small bowl of noodles has been raised again, and the price of the small bowl of noodles is three times that of the large bowl of noodles.
The Jade King said the words that were holding back in his heart, and said, "You... You guys... This kind of behavior is simply a fraud! ”
Xiao Er was about to speak, but Mei Xiaohan answered: "Small bowl of noodles, medium bowl of noodles, big bowl of noodles!" ”
After listening to Mei Xiaohan's words, Xiao Er swallowed the words in his mouth again.
With an incredulous expression, he said, "How does the guest officer know, what do I have to say..."
"There is so much difference between the price of a small bowl of noodles and a large bowl of noodles, what is the difference between them?"
Xiao Er said: "This is a trade secret, and our boss won't let me say it." ”
As Mei Xiaohan expected, this small shop only had a small bowl of noodles left unsold.
"Who is the noodle cook? Can you come out and see it? ”
Xiao Er said with a sad face: "I'm afraid of this... I'm afraid it's not quite right... The master said that if someone wanted to see him, he only said that it was inconvenient to meet. ”
The more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is, Mei Xiaohan said: "In this way, I have to see it!" ”
After speaking, Mei Xiaohan was about to break into the back kitchen, and as soon as she walked to the door of the back kitchen, she was pushed out by a teenager.
Mei Xiaohan was thrown to the ground, and the "Ugo Golden Sword" in his hand was bounced out.
"Bang dang!"
The "Ugo Golden Sword" struck the ground and released sparks.
"Ugogin!" The boy exclaimed.
Ouyang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Mei Xiaohan and said, "Brother Mei, don't be too impulsive!" ”
Mei Xiaohan got up, got up and patted the dust on her body, not only did she not get angry, but smiled and said, "The strength is not small... How do you know Ugogin? ”
The young man said: "I have only heard of the name of the Wuge Sword, but I have not seen it with my own eyes!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Under Mei Xiaohan... Excuse me... What is the name of this teenager? ”
The young man said: "I am just a homeless person in Xiaxia, from a poor background, with a low status, and my name is not enough to say." ”
The Jade King said: "A good man should serve the court, how can he be willing to fall?" ”
Ouyang Xiu sighed: "Ten years of hard work, once the title of the gold list dreamed!" ”
Mei Xiaohan suddenly remembered Gu Yanwu's words, and said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" ”
The young man said: "I didn't expect Mei Gongzi to have such a mind, Di Qing really admires it!" ”
When Mei Xiaohan heard Di Qing's words, she immediately came to full spirit, and confirmed again: "Your name is Di Qing?" ”
Di Qing said: "Yes! My name is Di Qing? ”
Ouyang Xiu looked at Mei Xiaohan and said, "Could it be that Gongzi Mei also has a friend with the same name and surname as Di Qing?"
Mei Xiaohan was a little embarrassed and said, "That's not it, I just think... I think it's a good name! ”
"Good start!"
"I really want to make friends with Di Qing!"
The Jade King muttered in his heart: What is this Mei Xiaohan selling, a friend with the same name and surname is a reason to make friends, and a good name has also become an excuse to get to know each other. Could it be that Mei Xiaohan likes male style?
Di Qing was refreshed and said, "One more friend and one more way, of course Di Qing is willing to make this friend with Brother Mei!" ”
History for Di Qing is quite high, Di Qing was born poor, because his brother fought with the villagers, Di Qing received on behalf of his brother, was "caught in Beijing, famous and red", began his military career, proficient in horseback shooting.
In the early days, Di Qing was a cavalryman who belonged to Yumazhi, and later chose to be scattered.
In the early days of Baoyuan, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia rebelled, and the imperial court issued an edict to select guards to the frontier, and appointed Di Qing as the third class messenger, palace attendant and Yanzhou commander.
The front-line generals were repeatedly defeated by the Western Xia, and most of the soldiers were afraid and timid, and Di Qing often personally served as the vanguard when he marched and fought.
After four years of fighting, he fought 25 battles before and after, and hit as many as eight arrows.
Captured Jintangcheng, captured Youzhou, slaughtered the tribes of Luba, Suixiang, Maonu, Shangluo, Qingqi, Jiakou and other tribes, burned tens of thousands of stone of grain stored in Western Xia, seized 2,300 tents, and captured 5,700 people.
He also built Qiaozigu City, and built castles such as Zhao'an, Fenglin, Xinqi, and Dalang, all of which stifled the enemy's vital places.
In the battle of Anyuan, he was seriously injured, but when he heard that the Western Xia army had arrived, he rushed forward again, and the soldiers also scrambled and fought hard.
When fighting against the enemy, the cloaks were scattered, with copper masks, and in and out of the enemy's army, the Western Xia army was invincible, and no one dared to stop it.
"Where is Di Qing's death, why don't you come to the back kitchen to help work!"
A big fat man came out of the back kitchen while talking, and Mei Xiaohan laughed when she saw it: "Li... One... Hand! ”
"It's you!"
Li's angry face immediately became like a flower, and he said, "It turned out that General Mei was here, I really didn't expect it!" ”
"In the world, there are many things that you can't think of!"
Everyone introduced themselves to each other.
Li Yishou said: "Since General Mei appreciates Di Qing so much, why don't you take him with you?" Let him have a good experience and serve General Mei? ”
Mei Xiaohan looked at the Jade King and said to everyone: "At this moment, I am also in prison!" ”
"Jade King, do you say that's the case?"
The Jade King said: "General Mei, this king is afraid that he doesn't have the ability to restrain you, so he will release you and your Yangcheng army when he goes back!" ”
The gourd immortal smiled: "Since they are all friends, why bother to make a big fuss!" Wouldn't it be better to work together? ”
Di Qing said: "Di Qing is willing to join the army and make meritorious contributions to General Mei!" ”
It's a pity that the imperial court only recruited troops in the "famine year", and Di Qing had no chance to join the army. ”
The Song army was the world's first standing mercenary army in the true sense, and the treatment was extremely generous, and only the Song Dynasty had the strength to implement the conscription system at that time.
Whenever there was a disaster and famine in a place, and the people could not survive, the Song court recruited a large number of soldiers in the local area.
"For every soldier recruited, the court will have one more soldier, and the mountains and fields will have one less thief."
Di Qing said: "Several of my friends have caught up with the imperial court to recruit soldiers, and if one person becomes a soldier, the whole family will have no food and clothing!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Since it is difficult to survive, why don't the people revolt?" ”
Di Qing said: "Although it is said that the natural disaster is measured, after all, it is not caused by man, and being a soldier is not bad, so I am not willing to take the risk of killing my head." ”
Di Qing's point is true, in the entire history of the Song Dynasty, the peasant uprisings were few and the scale was not large, and the recruitment of troops in the famine year was indispensable, which became an immutable law in the hearts of the people.
The Song Dynasty has always maintained a strong military force, and the military training and weaponry level of the Song Dynasty were all world-class at that time.
However, history only remembers that the 16 states of Youyun, which originally belonged to the Han land, were occupied, and the "Lanyuan Alliance" signed between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Khitan was finally destroyed by the Jin State.
The fate of the Southern Song Dynasty was even more humiliating, first to the Jin Dynasty, and then to be destroyed by the Mongols.
