Chapter 100: Wang Qi
Chapter 100: Wang Jue
The strength of Western Xia is only forty or fifty thousand people, which is only equivalent to half of the forbidden army in Bianliang City now! The Song Dynasty now has 400,000 forbidden troops in the country, and the box soldiers and township soldiers are several times this base.
The period between the Western Xia and Song dynasties has been roughly peaceful for thirty years. Although it cannot be said that there were no wars, there were 1,000 or more people in these battles, but there were no more than 10,000 people who participated in the wars. This naturally made the old master in the court underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Western Xia, thinking that the Western Xia was at most about the same as the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty.
In the eyes of this group of old masters, a small Western Xia, a small projectile land. It's just that the Heavenly Empire doesn't care, if you dare to rebel, it's a job to find death.
In the imperial court, the scholars and doctors who have the most access to information are all like this, and the people in the lower classes who have slow information circulation can imagine their ideas! Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the current Western Xia is a group of primitive people who use stones as weapons.
Because of this, even if Zhao Yu tells the truth, he will not be believed. Some things are like that, they always have to be sent before others will believe it. Therefore, Zhao Yu didn't talk about this matter to Gongsun Xuanxu, and he had to explain it with all his might, and he didn't necessarily make the other party believe it. Zhao Yu naturally didn't bother to say this.
Now what Zhao Yu is thinking about is that he just hopes that Li Yuanhao, this guy, will not let himself wait too long, and he will rebel early!
Although Zhao Yu is young, no one likes to hibernate, if he can reach the peak early, will anyone be unhappy?
I kept thinking about it in my heart, and even although Zhao Yu got into the carriage, he didn't say to go there.
After a long while, Zhao Yu still didn't speak. Zhao Yingwu couldn't help but sit down, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, where are we going now?" ”
"Ahh The ear power is still good, after listening to Zhao Yingwu's question, Zhao Yu was stunned, then he came back to his senses, scratched his head a little demarkedly, and said: "Ah Wu has made you wait for a long time, there is nothing to do, go back to the palace to practice martial arts!" ”
"The prince is polite!" Zhao Yingwu said modestly, and then exhilarated "Drive!" "A sound of the driving carriage. On the way, the two were silent for a long time, hesitated, and Zhao Yingwu couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, I want to recommend someone to you!" Don't know if it's okay? ”
Zhao Yuden was curious, Zhao Yingwu actually recommended someone to himself? Zhao Yu's first thought was that Zhao Yingwu wanted to recommend a certain sect disciple, maybe he was really talented, maybe that guy had a great favor to Zhao Yingwu, so Zhao Yingwu couldn't refuse. Either way, it aroused Zhao Yu's curiosity. "Tell me about it!"
"Kaifeng Wang Jue!" Zhao Yingwu said with reverence.
"Kaifeng people? Are you sure you're a fierce general, not a literati? "It's not that Zhao Yu underestimates Kaifeng people, strictly speaking, he is also Kaifeng people. It is really because of the environment of Kaifeng that it is difficult for Kaifeng to produce fierce generals.
Even people who are not very familiar with history know two characteristics of the Song Dynasty, wealth, literature and light martial arts. As the capital of a country, Bianliang City is naturally rich in wealth, and commerce is developed, which is known to those who know a little bit about the history of the Song Dynasty.
In such an environment, it is difficult to cultivate brave people. There is a saying that the ignorant are fearless, these people are rich, and they are willing to go to the soldiers, especially the soldiers of the Song Dynasty have a low status, and they have to tattoo words on their faces when they become soldiers, and the insult surname is very strong. As the saying goes: A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail, which comes from the Song Dynasty.
(Note: Some people say that this saying comes from the Tang Dynasty, because the plot needs it, it is believed to come from the Song Dynasty.) )
The booming business has also kept the number of hawkers in Bianliang City high. These hawkers are born to do big things and spare their lives, and forget their righteousness when they see small profits. And among the sons and daughters of Xungui, there are only a few people who can have some ability, and most of them have already been dazzled by the prosperity of Bianliang City.
Even if Yang Wenguang is a person who has made a difference, he is not a pure Kaifeng person, and his birthplace is not in Kaifeng.
Zhao Yingwu and Zhao Yu have been playing since they were children, so they naturally know Zhao Yu's senses for Kaifeng people, and explained: "Lord Wang, this person is extraordinary. Although Wang Qi is a Kaifeng person, he does not have a little Kaifeng people's market atmosphere. On the contrary, he is strong in martial arts, good at riding and shooting, and has great strength, and can use weapons such as iron pestles and iron whips, but he is not struggling! ”
Zhao Yu became interested, this guy didn't know anything else, but he seemed to have a lot of strength! The iron pestle and iron whip were much heavier than the standard waist knives commonly used by the Song army. A waist knife is only one catty and ten taels (Song system, one catty and sixteen taels). And an iron pestle is about thirteen or fourteen catties, and an iron whip, let alone ten catties!
Not to mention the tenfold increase in weight, this thing is used on the battlefield. In other words, being able to swing him two or three times is nothing, you have to be able to swing him for a long time, otherwise you are joking with your surname, and people who don't have a little confidence don't dare to practice this kind of weapon like this.
Zhao Yu asked, "Where is this Wang Jue?" This king will meet him! ”
Zhao Yingwu saw that Zhao Yu was interested, and he was even more happy, and said busily: "Back to the words of the prince!" Wang Ge'er is now serving as the marquis of Yu in the first place in front of the palace. Calculate the time...... Well, it should be on duty in the palace now! ”
This will be Yu Hou also known as Yu Hou, a hundred people set up a capital, a capital in charge of the commander, deputy commander and general Yu Hou, is a small official. However, what made Zhao Yu somewhat satisfied was that Wang Qi served in the first guard.
The first guard was specially responsible for Song Renzong's guards, and a considerable number of them may have good backgrounds, but most of them were the emperor's subordinates, and their martial arts and combat strength were all first-class in the forbidden army. In this matter, the boss of Sanya did not dare to delay in the slightest.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Although it is a little hasty to go to the palace like this, there is no problem in thinking about it!" Awu changed the road and went to the palace! ”
"Great!" Zhao Yingwu was very happy to see that Zhao Yu accepted his recommendation, and with a shout, the carriage changed direction and headed towards the Donghua Gate, which was closest to the palace gate.
By the time Zhao Yu saw Song Renzong, it was already an hour later. It's not that Song Renzong asked Zhao Yu to wait for a long time, it's really that this palace is too cheating, and after entering the palace city, unless there is a special purpose, he can only walk, even if Zhao Yu is the prince. And Zhao Yu entered the palace from Donghua Gate, and went to the Wende Hall where Song Renzong dealt with political affairs, almost running through the entire palace from east to west, which was as fast as it could go. ps: The collection has been dropping, and I am very disappointed. In addition, I can only change shifts today. Although the collection situation is not very good, the reward support of the book friend "jiang1one" is like a flame in the dark, which warms Mumu's heart. Strive for three more tomorrow! Even if you can't make three changes, 5,000 words are indispensable!
