Lin'an Mansion City is most famous for its West Lake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The West Lake, a world-famous scenic spot, has been the greatest development in the Southern Song Dynasty, because the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty is in Lin'an Mansion, and the wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty has attracted people from all over the world.
West Lake is a place where the royal family has to visit every year, so the vigilance and safety here are directly responsible for the armies under the jurisdiction of the palace front division.
The headquarters of the palace is located in Qinghefang, which is on the edge of the West Lake.
Although Qinghefang is not in the capital, it is also very lively, and there is an endless stream of tourists every year.
What is surprising is that the official residence of the commander of the palace is in the city of Lin'an Mansion.
Although the headquarters of its army is stationed in Qinghefang outside the capital, the sergeants are distributed in the southeast and northwest of the capital, for example, the urging army under the command of the palace is stationed in Taipingfang, which is not far from the palace, which belongs to one of the most lively and prosperous places in the capital.
As for the generals, deputy generals, preparation generals and even subordinate generals under the command of the palace, the mansions may also be in the capital, which depends on the conditions of the officers themselves, whether they can buy houses in the capital, and whether they can support their families.
In principle, the generals of the army in front of the palace and the envoys, ministers, and soldiers below them are stationed in the barracks, and they are not allowed to enter and leave the barracks at will without orders.
The situation of the garrison of the front division of the palace is similar to that of the other imperial armies, that is, the officers in the army can bring their families with the army, which should be the difference between the army of the Southern Song Dynasty and other armies, but because the troops of the front division of the palace are stationed around the capital, if the officers do not have strong financial resources, their families cannot follow, not to mention the officers at all levels in the army, even if they are in the army, they may not be able to bear such huge expenses.
The management of the army in front of the palace is not particularly strict, and the officers above the general have a lot of free time at their disposal, as long as they ensure that the upper peak can find you at any time, and at the same time the personnel are in place when you are responsible for patrolling, and the rest of the time can be at their disposal.
The army of the front division of the palace belongs to the most courageous army among the three yajun armies, and it is also the most elite army in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the treatment of its soldiers is higher than that of all other armies, and there are many generals in the army of the front of the palace.
Among the armies to which the palace front division belongs, the most elite are the Tabai Army and the Urging Front Army.
Among them, the Tabai Army is directly responsible for the security guards around the palace, and the Urging Front Army is directly responsible for the security guards of the entire capital.
Wu Shaogang was able to enter the urging army to which the front division of the palace belonged and served as a deputy general, which was not simple.
Wu Shaogang came to the capital for the first time, and as the deputy general of the urging army under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace, he had to report to the official residence of the commander of the front division of the palace and receive his own jade plate.
Wu Shaogang, who came to Lin'an Mansion City, did not think about paying homage to the capital, he planned to enter the capital directly, go to the palace to report to the official residence of the commander of the palace, and then go to Taipingfang, where the Urging Front Army is located, to take office.
Lin'an Mansion City is not an ideal capital, whether it is from the geographical location, or the structure of the city, there is no way to compare with the Kaifeng Mansion City of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wu Shao had just entered the capital from the Qingbo Gate in the west of the capital, and the twenty-five sergeants who had returned to their hometowns were also waiting at the Qingbo Gate.
The official residence of the commander of the palace is about three miles away from the Qingbo Gate.
To the north of Renmeifang, there are Lin'an Mansion, Taichang Temple, Secretary Province, Fuxue and Teaching Field, and to the south of Renmeifang, where the Guards Ma Junsi and the Guards Bujun Division are located.
Before Wu Shaogang and his entourage arrived at Qingbo Gate, they met the remaining 25 sergeants waiting on the official road.
Wu Shaogang nodded to everyone and continued to walk towards Qingbo Gate.
What Wu Shaogang didn't expect was that Li Siqi was actually waiting at Qingbo Gate.
Wu Shaogang, who hurriedly dismounted, clasped his fists at Li Siqi and saluted.
"Mr. Li, I'm glad to be here, is there something going on here?"
"I'm here to wait for Vice General Wu."
"This, how does Mr. Li know that I came to the capital today to report."
"Don't talk about this, it's still early today, Vice General Wu has traveled a long distance, sleeping in the open along the way, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten well, today I have a treat and go to Fengle Building to eat and drink."
Li Siqi was vague and did not explain how he knew that Wu Shaogang had arrived in the capital at this time.
Fengle Building is outside the Yongjin Gate, not very far from the Qingbo Gate.
Of course, Wu Shaogang will not refuse, in fact, after he came to the capital, he also had to take time to visit Lu Wende, and he also specially thanked Li Siqi, who had real kindness to him.
The group rode horses and soon came to Fengle Building.
When he saw Fengle Building from afar, Wu Shaogang was amazed.
The main building of Fengle Building is five storeys high, resplendent and brilliant, showing the atmosphere of wealth and nobility, there is a row of richly decorated wing rooms next to the main building, it looks small and exquisite, people who ride out of the Yongjin Gate continue to go towards Fengle Building.
The color building outside the Fengle Building, colorful, coordinated, looks extraordinary, if there is no special design, it will not achieve such an effect.
The guys outside Fengle Building, wearing clean clothes and smiling faces, greet every guest.
Just from these aspects, you can feel the prosperity and luxury of the capital.
You must know that last year, Lin'an suffered a large-scale famine, and ordinary people could not continue their lives.
Li Siqi's private room is on the second floor of the main building.
Entering the building, there is still a long main corridor, on both sides of the main corridor stand many women wearing heavy makeup, and the oil lamps on the walls are also lit in the daytime.
The women laughed at the guests, and if one of them was chosen by the guest, they would follow them into the private room.
When Li Siqi took Wu Shaogang and others to walk across the suspension bridge equipped with railings, Zhang Binghui stopped and looked down, and spoke with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh, great, it's the first time I've been to a place like this...
Seeing Wu Shaogang's calm expression, Zhang Binghui hurriedly shut up and followed.
When you enter the private room, you will feel elegant and tidy.
This is a suite, divided into two rooms, the outer room is a place for gossip and rest, and the inner room is a place for eating and drinking.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, and without much observation, Wu Shaogang found the incense lit in the corner of the wall.
This kind of incense comes from overseas, the fragrance is elegant, Lin'an high-end restaurants, all are prepared, the elegant fragrance can drive away the taste of dishes and residual wine in the private room, so that the guests are comfortable.
Something that surprised Wu Shaogang even more appeared.
The young lady was actually waiting in the inner room of the private room.
After seeing Wu Shaogang, the young lady saluted with a shy face.
In the past, when Wu Shaogang saw all this, he would definitely be vigilant in his heart, and he would also lay a big question mark, why did Li Siqi take such painstaking efforts, what was his mind, but now he won't, after all, he has experienced some things, and no matter when, the world is a paradise for the strong.
More importantly, learn to accept the kindness of others.
For Wu Shaowu's affairs, Wu Shaogang had already troubled Lu Wende and Li Siqi, and they did not hesitate to help handle it, and Li Siqi's letter also specifically explained that if there is anything in the future, as long as he can help, he will definitely do his best, even if Lu Wende and Li Siqi have any thoughts, he Wu Shaogang also admits it.
Lu Wende is now a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, a left-handed servant of the Ministry of Officials, a high-ranking official from the third rank in the court, there is no need to take such painstaking steps to slap him Wu Shaogang, and then think about Su Wengkui, the governor of Luzhou Mansion, when they met for the first time, after some conversation, they took out a full hundred taels of gold, could it be that the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty had problems with their brains, in fact, no, people did appreciate him.
Zhang Binghui and the others had never seen Qingniang, and their faces showed a look of surprise.
Wu Shaogang turned his head and introduced it to Zhang Binghui and others.
"This is a young lady, follow me."
Zhang Binghui and the others nodded again and again, and the eyes that looked at Qingniang also became solemn and serious.
Everyone sat outside and waited.
"Vice General Wu, there are some small things, you and I will go in and talk about it."
Wu Shaogang nodded and followed Li Siqi into the inner room.
Li Siqi took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to Wu Shaogang.
"This is the identity deed of the young lady, this is a house I found for Vice General Wu in the capital, and I ask Vice General Wu to put it away."
Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi, didn't say anything, picked up these documents, and put them in his arms.
"I remember the kindness of Lord Lu and Mr. Li."
In less than a quarter of an hour, the banquet was set.
Wu Shaogang and his entourage entered the inner room.
Qing Niang was originally not seated, she still brought the string piano, ready to play for Wu Shaogang and others, but was stopped by Wu Shaogang, now Qing Niang's identity is different, the body is on his Wu Shaogang's body, no longer a woman who sings or even sells her body, and there is no need to accompany her to drink and laugh.
"Qingniang, sit next to me."
Qing Niang lowered her head and sat next to Wu Shaogang.
"Qingniang, Mr. Li, you have known each other for a long time, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, Du Xiaoqi, Wang Shisan, Tan Mazi and others, they are all my brothers, they are all my own family, you are casual, your body is weak, don't drink more, I just look at a glass of wine."
Although the young lady lowered her head, she also nodded slightly.
After the banquet began, Wu Shaogang motioned to Zhang Binghui and others to toast Li Siqi with his eyes, but he couldn't pour it violently, he couldn't drink too much, he wanted to show his respect, in his opinion, Li Siqi was waiting in Qingbo Gate today, not just to give him the deed and the house deed, there must be other things to say.
The atmosphere of the banquet has always been very harmonious, and the performance of Zhang Binghui and others also surprised Li Siqi, an ordinary sergeant with no culture can behave freely during the meal, which shows that Wu Shaogang's ability to control his subordinates is also super strong.
