The prosperity of Jiankang Mansion City is no less than that of Lin'an Mansion City, the capital city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the population exceeded one million a thousand years ago, it was the largest city at that time, and it was also the most prosperous city in the south, after so many years, although Jiankang Mansion was deliberately suppressed in the north during the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the status of the commercial center has always been unbreakable, and rarely experienced war, so that the city can develop steadily, the Southern Song Dynasty court took Jiankang Mansion as the capital, and its status was second only to the capital Lin'an City.

The official residence and mansion of Li Tingzhi were both in Jiankang Mansion.

As the envoy who controlled the Huainan West Road and the Huainan East Road on behalf of the emperor, Li Tingzhi's power was very great, and the officials of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the two Huai were subject to his control.

The only fly in the ointment is that the army stationed in Lianghuai is very weak.

The army under the direct control of the imperial court, including the three divisions and the imperial army, of which the three divisions of the army are stationed in the capital, headed by the palace army, and the imperial army is stationed in the locality, mainly stationed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Sichuan and other places, in addition to the direct control of the imperial court, there is also a part of the army in the locality, these armies are called the box army, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and most of them are engaged in logistics and transportation matters.

The local army is jointly controlled by the imperial court and the locality, mainly controlled by the locality, and the source of its military salary is mainly local, these Xiang troops maintain and maintain local stability on weekdays, and serve the fighting army in wartime, and when the troops are lacking, the sergeants of the Xiang army will also be transferred to the battlefield to fight and fight.

The Xiang Army stationed in Lianghuai, following the title of the Northern Song Dynasty, was called the Loyal and Brave Army, and its station was in Zhenzhou.

It is said that Wu Shaogang took his thirty sergeants to Jiankang Mansion to carry out combat missions, which is not necessary at all, even if Wu Shaogang and his thirty people are all unstoppable with one blow, they can't compare to the loyal army, after all, the loyal army has so many sergeants.

Li Tingzhi, as the envoy of the two Huai system, without receiving the emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict, must not be able to mobilize the army at will, even if it is a local army, there will be a suspicion of rebellion, but the current situation is a little different, last year the Mongolian Tatars wantonly attacked Sichuan and Ezhou and other places, as the capital of Jiankang Mansion, the status is extremely important, and it is necessary to be prepared to resist the Mongolian Tatars, so at this time, Li Tingzhi received the emperor's holy decree, ordering him to command and dispatch the loyal and brave troops stationed in Zhenzhou.

Although the Mongol Tatars had withdrawn and abandoned the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Tingzhi still controlled the loyal and brave army, becoming one of the few civilian officials who directly controlled the army and the local officials.

This is inseparable from the fact that Li Tingzhi has won the trust of the emperor and has a high prestige in the court.

One of the most critical points is that Li Tingzhi has a very good relationship with the right prime minister and privy envoy Jia Yidao, both of whom have worked under the late Taishi and Jiguo Gong Meng Heng, and have been appreciated by Meng Hui, and Meng Heng's most favored one, the first is Jia Yidao, and the second is Li Tingzhi, during the service for the imperial court, Li Tingzhi and Jia Yidao, who were appreciated by Meng Hui, worked together and cooperated closely, and did a lot of things for Meng Hui, and they also formed an unusual friendship with each other.

Because of Meng Hui's strong recommendation, Jia Yidao received the attention of the emperor, and finally became the right prime minister and privy envoy, controlling the power of the court.

Li Tingzhi is very famous, because he loves talents and is willing to recommend talents to the imperial court, and those talents recommended by Li Tingzhi also continue to tell Li Tingzhi's wisdom and generosity in the court.

It is precisely because of these reasons that when the fourth master learned that Wu Shaogang was about to lead his subordinates to Jiankang Mansion to meet Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the Lianghuai system, he was very relieved, thinking that Wu Shaogang would not encounter difficulties, and he would also get Li Tingzhi's respect and help.

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, at noon.

Wu Shaogang led Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and other 30 people to arrive at Jiankang Mansion City.

Before leaving, every sergeant under his command received armor, bows and arrows, spears, Song hand knives and other weapons, an additional war horse, and two months' military salary.

Such thirty-one people, including Wu Shaogang, each have two war horses, and their armor and weapons are even richer, as for military salaries, no one pays special attention to them, after all, Zhang Binghui and others are all rich people, and they can't look down on their friends.

Wu Shaogang's move, Ma Huaxuan, the commander of the front division of the palace, and Zhang Shijie, the deputy commander of the capital and the commander of the Urging Front Army, did not express objections, or even supported them.

Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and others are very happy, armor and war horses are very precious things, and they can't get it without outstanding military exploits, but Wu Shaogang is not happy at all, he is actually testing the attitude of Ma Huaxuan and Zhang Shijie and others through such behavior, since Ma Huaxuan and others have no objection, it means that they went to Jiankang Mansion and performed a task that was by no means very easy.

During the march, Wu Shaogang had been thinking about it, and he had a faint judgment in his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

When entering the city of Jiankang Mansion, the sergeants guarding the city gate restrained their arrogance when they saw it from a distance, after all, the hats and helmets of Wu Shaogang and others had already indicated their identities, and they were the sergeants of the urging army to which the front division of the palace belonged to them, and they were definitely not offended by these sergeants guarding the city gates.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Shaogang arrived at the official residence of Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the Lianghuai system.

The order issued from above required him to arrive at Jiankang Mansion City and report to Li Tingzhi before today's Shen Shi.

Wu Shaogang did not hesitate at all, and ordered Zhang Binghui and others to wait outside the official residence, while he asked the sergeant guarding outside the official residence to report the news.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, a young man walked out of the mansion.

The temperament of the young man is very good, the eyebrows are clear, the elegance reveals arrogance, and at the age of twenty-four or five, he looks like he is a scholar, and he is a scholar with a meritorious reputation.

"May I ask if this is Wu Shaogang, the deputy general of the Urging Front Army under the front division of the palace?"

"Exactly, my subordinates were ordered to come and see Lord Li Tingzhi."

"In Shimolu Hideo, on the order of Lord Li, I came to greet Vice General Wu."

"Oh, you're Lu Xiufu...

Wu Shaogang was shocked in his heart, obviously a little out of shape, no wonder he was, after all, Lu Xiufu's fame is too great, as one of the three heroes of the late Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang are almost the same name, and his feat of throwing himself into the sea with the young emperor in the end has been passed down through the ages.

Although it is said that at this time, Lu Xiufu's fame is not very big, it is nothing more than a high school jinshi when he was nineteen years old, and he was valued by Li Tingzhi by the two Huai systems, and was invited to the shogunate, and he was in charge of Jiyi writing.

Lu Xiufu obviously didn't expect Wu Shaogang to suddenly say such words, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke.

"What, do you know Vice Admiral Wu?"

"I've heard of his name for a long time, Brother Lu is a nineteen-year-old high school jinshi, I heard about it in the capital, and when I saw it today, I felt that Brother Lu was gentle and elegant, and his bearing was extraordinary, so I had such feelings."

This time, Lu Hideo was even more surprised.

In his opinion, Wu Shaogang is just a martial artist, he doesn't have much knowledge, although as the deputy general of the Urging Front Army under the front division of the palace, he just has the strength to kill the enemy on the battlefield, as for strategy and knowledge, there must be congenital deficiencies, but after seeing Wu Shaogang at this moment, he, a genuine jinshi, actually has a feeling of being oppressed.

In terms of temperament alone, the young and somewhat excessive Wu Shaogang in front of him feels anything but ordinary.

Lu Xiufu sorted out his mentality a little and spoke again.

"I don't dare to take the praise of Vice General Wu down, I can't imagine that Vice General Wu has always been in the army, and he can also have the temperament of a scholar."

Lu Xiufu said this sentence, so that Wu Shaogang's heart mixed feelings, it seems that the great man or celebrity in history also needs to go through step by step tempering before he can gradually burst out of the brilliance, at this moment Lu Xiufu is obviously still a self-esteemed scholar, and he has been valued by Li Tingzhi, thinking that he has the ability to help the world, and he seems more complacent, so he unconsciously shows the arrogance of a scholar.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Wu Shaogang decided to dial Lu Xiufu, after all, in his mind, Lu Xiufu is indeed a talent, worthy of friendship and worth allocating, as for whether Lu Xiufu can understand, it depends on personal creation.

"This temperament can not only be cultivated by reading, many times, the grinding of life, the sudden change of circumstances, will make people understand a lot of things, and will also make people gradually feel that the world is unpredictable, there are too many capable people, they are just a drop in the ocean, and they must not underestimate or even despise anything in the outside world, I have always thought so, I don't know what Brother Lu thinks."

Lu Xiufu's face changed slightly, obviously these words made him uncomfortable, in his opinion, he was just a deputy general in the army, and with such a young age, what qualifications did he have to say that he was a jinshi.

"Vice General Wu doesn't look very old, but he seems to have experienced vicissitudes of life when he speaks, and he admires him very much."

Wu Shaogang smiled slightly, and didn't care at all about Lu Xiufu's ridicule.

"Brother Lu, the so-called ignorant are fearless, and those who have no desire have no desire, many people know it like this, but I don't think it is necessarily, the sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, the wall is thousands of people, and the desireless is just...

Before Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Lu Xiufu's expression became serious.

Wu Shaogang just said something, has shown profound knowledge and profound cognition, this is not something ordinary people can do, even Lu Xiufu's mentor Li Tingzhi may not be able to say such quintessential words casually, what kind of person is this Wu Shaogang in front of him.
