The local administrative establishment of the Great Song Dynasty is called the road at the highest level, such as Hebei West Road, Hebei East Road, etc., and the next level is subdivided into four categories according to status and function: government, state, military, and prison. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fu refers to the traditional local political and economic centers, such as Kaifeng Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Henan Mansion, Yingtian Mansion and so on.

The state and the army are mainly distinguished according to the importance of the strategic position, the so-called 'the land is not dangerous for the state, when the Jin will be the army', that is to say, the strategic location is not important, set as the state, the strategic location is important is called the army, the imperial court will generally garrison here.

Most of the armies are located in the frontiers and areas where popular rebellions often break out, and they are slightly inferior to the prefectures in terms of size and status, and the commanders are also called Zhizhou, and there are dozens of large and small armies in the northern frontier, such as the Shunde Army, the Huaide Army, the Huaihua Army, the Security Army, the Baode Army, and so on.

The fourth type of prison mainly refers to mining areas, such as Guiyang prison, which is a famous silver mining area in the Great Song Dynasty.

But Li Yanqing is going to Baojing Army is not a place name, but the name of an army, the military is located in Yan'an Mansion, the Great Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the Tang Dynasty and experienced the warlord melee of five dynasties and ten countries, after learning the pain, strictly prevent the emergence of warlords.

In the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the festival was the name of the warlord, but the so-called festival of the Song Dynasty was just a false name, with a festival degree envoy office, but there was no soldier below, and the festival degree made itself just a virtual official, also known as the pension officer, after the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, all the military leaders were named the festival degree envoys, enjoying high salaries, but they had no right and nothing to do.

Therefore, Li Yanqing was appointed as the envoy of the Jiedu envoy, in the eyes of many people, it is to go to an idle yamen as an idle official, nominally an eight-rank official, but in fact, there is nothing to do below, and he catches mosquitoes in the military office all day long, and the Jiedu envoys of the Song Dynasty are almost the same, and few Jinshi are willing to take up this position, let alone Tanhua, so when the news of Li Yanqing's appointment as the Jiedu envoy of the Baojing Army spread, many people were sympathetic or gloating.

But people who really understand officialdom will not easily draw conclusions, they will look at it one step deeper, and they will look at who the high-ranking officials who are the envoys of the moderation?

Whether it is a casual relative of the royal family or a high-ranking official with real power is the basis for judging whether a position has power.

If Liang Shicheng wants to train Li Yanqing as one of his secret weapons, of course he will not let Li Yanqing go to the military office to catch mosquitoes, the reason why he chose to protect the Jingjun Jiedu envoy is because the senior official who served as the Jiedu envoy is the commander of the Northwest Army.

The real power officer of the Seed Master Dao is the deputy commander of the Ma Army, which is the basis for him to command the Northwest Army of Hedong and Shaanxi Seventh Routes, while the envoy of the Baojing Army is just a fictitious position, representing his current official rank.

Li Yanqing nominally served as the envoy of the Baojing Army, but he actually served as a confidential civilian official in the Northwest Army, which was the real intention of Liang Shidao to arrange him as the envoy of the Baojing Army.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Yanqing arrived in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Yangqu County is today's Taiyuan, in the Tang Dynasty it was the Longxing land of the Li family, was named the northern capital, even in the Song Dynasty, its status is still very important, it is the capital of Hedong Road, and it is also the location of the military government of Zhongshi Road.

As soon as Li Yanqing rode his horse to the city gate, several soldiers stopped him, "Where did you come from, and why did you carry weapons?" ”

As the Northwest Army began to prepare for the Northern Expedition, all aspects began to tighten, especially the interrogation of spies at various checkpoints was particularly strict, and Li Yanqing's carrying of a bow and sword attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city.

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and said: "I am a Jinshi of Jinke, and I am here to serve in Taiyuan!" ”

"Please wait!"

The soldier didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran back, and after a while, a head came out, stepped forward to look at Li Yanqing and asked, "Since you are a jinshi, can you have a document from the ministry?" ”

Li Yanqing took out the document and handed it to him, looked at it, and said solemnly: "It turned out to be Li Tanhua, disrespectful, but Li Tanhua should go to Yan'an Mansion as the envoy of the Baojing Army, why did he come to Taiyuan?" If it's just passing by, just when I didn't ask. ”

"I'm here to find a kind of handsome, is he in Taiyuan City?"

"I don't know much about this, I don't know the situation of the handsome, but I haven't seen him for a while."

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves from behind, and I saw a group of more than 100 cavalry coming from the official road, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly smiled: "It's a coincidence, Cao Cao Cao will arrive, isn't that a kind of handsome?" ”

Li Yanqing saw a veteran wearing a golden helmet in the cavalry, with a banner on his head and a big character on it, and this veteran was the commander of the Northwest Army.

In just a moment, the vanguard cavalry passed by Li Yanqing's side, and suddenly a young and handsome young general shouted: "Yanqing, is it you?" ”

The voice..... Li Yanqing immediately recognized this young general, it turned out to be Yang Zaixing, Li Yanqing was overjoyed, "San Lang, why are you here?" ”

The two high-fived each other on the horse, and Yang Zaixing said: "I am the head of the handsome guard, of course I should be here, but you ..... How did you come to Taiyuan? ”

At this time, there was a laughing voice from the planter next to him, "I'm worried that Li Tanhua won't really go to Yan'an Mansion, and sure enough, I didn't disappoint, I haven't seen you for two years, Li Tanhua is okay?" ”

Li Yanqing hugged his fists and saluted him, "The Jiedu envoy is in Taiyuan, of course the lower officials come to Taiyuan to report, and the Baojing Army Jiedu envoy Li Yanqing will see the kind of marshal!" ”

"No need to be polite, let's go to the city first!"

Kind of Shuai Dao is very happy, he has more than one military general, and there is a shortage of civil officials, the Great Song Dynasty emphasizes literature and light martial arts, and high-level talents like Jinshi generally do not come to serve in the army, so when the master Dao got the official express, Tanhua Li Yanqing was appointed as the envoy of the Baojing Army, he was overjoyed, the first place in the bow and horse competition, and the imperial examination to explore the flowers, so that the genius of both civil and military affairs actually became his command, which made him never dream.

Of course, he would not let Li Yanqing go to the empty government of the Baojing Army to be idle, so he also specially sent one of his subordinates to Yan'an Mansion to squat, and once Li Yanqing went to Yan'an Mansion to report, he would immediately bring him to Taiyuan City.

Li Yanqing followed the seed master road into the city, a lively and prosperous atmosphere came to the face, Yangqu County is the capital of Hedong Road after all, although it can not be compared with Bianjing, but it is still an unusually lively and prosperous metropolis, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is one of the famous cities in the world.

After hundreds of years of prosperous development, it has already become a big city with a population of nearly one million, densely populated, developed commerce, and dense shops at a glance, and there are all kinds of shops everywhere in the tile bar.

"Li Tanhua, how do you feel about Taiyuan?" The planter asked with a smile.

"Enlightened handsome, thank you for being very prosperous!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and said, "Seed Shuai, call me Yanqing!" Tanhua has passed. ”

"Good! It's called Yanqing, this time it should be your own choice to keep the Jing Army! ”

Li Yanqing sighed and said: "It was my original intention to come to serve in the Northwest Army, but I trusted a little relationship to finally get my wish." ”

"Do you still need to trust you to come to the army?"

The seed master smiled bitterly and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Generally, it's a relationship not to let yourself be assigned to the army!" ”

"It's really hard to say, if I don't trust the relationship, I'm afraid I'll go to the state to learn and teach."

Planter Dao shook his head again and again, "Let you teach, that's really burying talents." ”

The two of them walked while talking, and after a short time, they came to the commander of the military office, and said to Yang Zaixing: "You go and arrange for Yanqing to live first, just according to what I said last time, go now!" ”

"The young general obeys!"

The seed master said to Li Yanqing and smiled: "It's been hard all the way, let's take a day off today, and tomorrow we will talk about the job arrangements in detail, let's go with Yang Dutou!" He will arrange everything. ”

"Thank you for your love!"

"Go ahead!"

Li Yanqing then followed Yang Zaixing to the north of the military office.

Yang Zaixing strode and said, "When the marshal received the document from the ministry, he immediately asked the logistics officer to arrange accommodation for you, and it can be seen that the marshal values you very much!" ”

"Arranging food and lodging is important?"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I came all the way to report to the Northwest Army, not for food and lodging. ”

"You won't be disappointed!"

Yang Zaixing stopped, turned around and said to Li Yanqing solemnly: "After the bow and horse competition, Dashuai wrote to Tong Guan to ask for you, but Tong Guan ignored it, and was so angry that Dashuai scolded Tong Guan for being selfish and misleading. ”

"Tell me about yourself!" Li Yanqing smiled and diverted the topic, "Why did you become the head of the guard?" ”

Yang Zaixing said hesitantly: "It has something to do with me being a child of the Yang family, the marshal respects the Yang family generals very much, he named me the deputy head of the guard, and I was promoted to the head of the capital last autumn, in fact, I should not be called the head of the capital, I led three hundred cavalry, in fact, I should be called the military envoy." ”

Dutou is equivalent to the commander of an infantry company, and the military envoy is the commander of a cavalry company.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Wang Gui and Niu Gao?" They also came to Taiyuan. ”

Yang Zaixing nodded, "I saw it, but they are not in Taiyuan now, and they are participating in the construction of fortifications in the area of the Jinning Army." ”

"Going to repair the fortifications? Didn't Gui say that his family had a favor? ”

"In the Northwest Army, I never come to see favors!"

Yang Zaixing said solemnly: "The two of them are martial arts to practice, according to the convention, the first one year of the officer, next year to be promoted to the head of the team, if you can be admitted to the martial arts, then promoted to the head of the capital, let them serve as the officer, but also mainly let them contact the low-level soldiers, it is very beneficial to their future development, as for the repair of fortifications, this is what they should do." ”

Li Yanqing just smiled, but he didn't say anything, if there was no favor, how could he Yang Zaixing be the head of the guard? It should be that the people Wang Gui knew didn't help at all.

The two soon came to the military dormitory, which is a building complex covering an area of hundreds of acres, is the officer's dormitory, the Song Dynasty army is a professional army, allowing family members, so every important army garrison has a large number of military dormitories, the dormitory conditions of the Northwest Army are better, the worst team leader military dormitory is also a single room, mainly to live in the family, the officer himself lives in the camp.

Groups of children ran in front of them, and not far away, two women were arguing loudly at the door, all kinds of clothes and quilts were hanging everywhere, and the air was filled with the strong smell of overnight meals.

Walking to the innermost, the surroundings were a little quieter, "This is the military quarters of senior generals, and the environment is good." ”

Yang Zaixing pushed open a courtyard door and took Li Yanqing into a single courtyard, and his serious expression finally revealed a hint of a smile, "How about it, this is specially arranged for you by the big handsome, a three-room courtyard with a well, and all kinds of items, you will live here in the future." ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I don't like it here, I am disgusted by the smell of family members in this area." ”

Yang Zaixing was stunned, and said for a while: "Then where do you want to live?" ”

"Tent!" Li Yanqing smiled faintly: "I prefer the taste of grass on the land!" ”
