Yin Shang Lile is in full bloom, and Du Yu in the lotus pond cries green urns. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The verandah painting boat is fine and complex, and the Tianhe River is the city at the foot of the trench.

This is Feng Yichu's general impression of Bianjing.

Compared with the Zhumen in Luoyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prosperity of Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty is full of vitality.

The buildings on the street are carved and painted, exquisite and unique, and the peddlers, pawns, talented and beautiful women in the city are all happy and in good condition.

It was the first hour of the hour, nine o'clock in the morning, three hours before the auction began;

Feng Yi simply arranged for a dozen Ziwei to go to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he took Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and other Ziwei to start wandering around Bianjing City.

Fu Hu's injuries have not yet healed, so he did not come with him this time.

After an hour of sightseeing and observation, Feng Yi smelled a different flavor from behind this stable, prosperous and vibrant atmosphere.

In Bianjing City, all the streets and gates are guarded with sturdy guards, and there are also many patrolling soldiers to inspect back and forth.

These guards are all thick and powerful legs, large shoulders and thin waists, and a pair of sharp and calm eyes, obviously well-trained elites.

Through inquiry, I learned that these soldiers were actually forbidden soldiers.

The Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army was extremely famous, and unlike other dynasties, the Janissaries were responsible for the security of the imperial city, and its scale was extremely large, and it was the main force of the national army.

Ziwei, who went out to inquire about the news, also returned to Feng Yi's side one after another, and Feng Yi only knew at this time that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin.

However, the names of some characters made Feng Yi constantly surprised.

For example, Yue Fei!

Yue Fei at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty not only appeared strangely under Zhao Kuangyin, but also became the general of the Zhengerpin Town!

The highest position among the military attachés in the Song Dynasty at this time was the general of the Hussar from the first rank, but this position has always been vacant, which means that Yue Fei is almost the highest position in the ranks of the military attaches of the Song Dynasty at this moment!

But there's another piece of news that's even more interesting.

Zhao Kuangyin actually adopted the means of dividing and elevating the real power of the military attache in this time and space.

Although the plot of releasing military power with a glass of wine has never been staged, the military power is divided between three institutions, commonly known as the "three ya".

First, the Privy Council. The Privy Council is the highest military authority and holds military power and orders.

Second, the third ya. That is, the front of the palace is the command department, the guard horse army division and the guard infantry army division, which are the highest command organs of the central government, and command the forbidden army and the box army respectively;

Third, the ministers. The generals who led the troops were temporarily appointed when the forbidden army went out to fight or suppressed, and the forbidden army under the command of the Sanya was abolished after the battle.

Moreover, each forbidden army will be transferred and changed every once in a while, but the military attache in the garrison will not be changed;

As a result, it has created a situation where the soldiers do not know the generals and there will be no special soldiers.

The forbidden army is the main force of the Song Dynasty, and this main force is talking about combat power, in fact, the largest number of people in the Song Dynasty is still the local army, also known as the box army, the standing army.

The qualifications and quality of the local non-commissioned officers are low, and the combat effectiveness is average, and most of them are commanded by the local jiedu envoys, but if they want to be mobilized, they also need the emperor's permission to do so.

Under normal circumstances, the local army fought as an auxiliary army of the forbidden army.

The specific number of forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty has not been discovered, but it is roughly estimated that it is at least more than five million.

Half of these forbidden armies were stationed in and around Bianjing, and half were stationed on the frontiers.

The military strength of the Song Dynasty undoubtedly surprised Feng Yi very much, the forbidden army was at least five million, the local army must be more than ten million, plus the ordinary city guard troops, I don't know how many total strength there are......

However, Zhao Kuangyin is so popular, but it is also a disguised help to breed corruption.

Among them, especially those festivals are the most.

Zhao Kuangyin accepted his military power, but gave the promise of glory and wealth.

With the emperor's words, the envoys of the festival naturally have no scruples and are happy according to the order.

Since you can't get power, then you can enjoy the beauty of wealth. As a result, a wind of corruption began to spread rapidly in the Song Dynasty.

Bianjing is okay, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are not many people who dare to act blatantly on the surface, but it is different in other places......

This is also a different taste that Feng Yi smelled from the prosperous scene of Bianjing.

However, in any case, the economy of the Song Dynasty was indeed extremely prosperous, and those acts of corruption and profligacy also promoted the economic development of the Song Dynasty to a certain extent.

Bamboo liquor store.

As one of the most famous liquor shops in Bianjing, it is said that most of the people who can enter and leave this place are literati and artists, and children of families.

A three-storey quaint wooden loft sits on the lakeside, surrounded by bamboo forests, and a row of willow trees lining the restaurant's main entrance.

The breeze blows across the lake, bringing a burst of refreshment from time to time.

The guests in the restaurant may be quietly sipping wine with their eyes closed, or writing slowly, or talking with high spirits, but no matter what kind of thing they are, all of them are well-behaved and gentle.

At this moment, a group of figures that were somewhat incompatible with the atmosphere here suddenly appeared in front of the gate.

The guests on the first floor all cast a surprised gaze, and there was a slight dislike in their eyes.

There are more than 30 of these people, although they are all wrapped in strong suits, and they only have a long knife with a sheath in their hands, but at first glance, they are from the army, and their eyes make these guests very uncomfortable.

The Zhulan Wine Shop is the favorite of the literati, and there are few people who usually come to the army, and they are a little reluctant to see the appearance of this line.

Feng Yi glanced at the situation in the store, green tents, bamboo curtains, light yarns, and straw beds, most of the seats were already occupied.

Smiling slightly, he didn't care about the eyes of those people, waved his hand to let most of Ziwei sit at the tea table outside the store, and he walked into the store with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the other two Ziwei.

Seeing that most of the people were left outside the store, the customers in the store looked relieved, and then withdrew their eyes and continued their business.

The auction of the Fenghua Chamber of Commerce is about to be held, and many other places and even other dynasties have many people coming, including many dignitaries;

Therefore, although they were a little surprised by the battle of this group, the guests did not care too much.

However, the layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway, but this scene has attracted the attention of several people on the third floor.

"Second brother, this group of people doesn't seem to be very ordinary?"

Yue Ai leaned on the mahogany railing and looked at Ziwei below, then turned his head to look at Yue Lei on the side and said.

Han Yanzhi shook his head and smiled: "Xiao Ai, now that there are many people with extraordinary backgrounds in Bianjing City, it is not surprising that they have some skilled guards. ”

Yue Ai frowned and said, "No, these people are not ordinary guards, and their bearing is not comparable to mere guards at all."

I think their momentum has a special flavor, like a backing army. ”

As soon as Yue Ai said this, the faces of several people present changed.

What is the Bearer Army?

The Beiwei Army is the most elite special unit of the Yuejia Army, and it is also the most courageous unit in the entire Great Song Dynasty!

Yue Ai said this, it was really a bit shocking.

Yue Lei, who had been smiling lightly, was also stunned, and then turned his head to look at Ziwei below for the first time.

Sitting like an ancient clock, his eyes are like an eagle falcon.

It seems that the selected positions are extremely arbitrary, but in fact they are self-contained, and there are strange rules to follow between the two sides;

Moreover, their orientation is very reasonable, they can react quickly when danger comes, and have both offensive and defensive momentum.

With such a subordinate, how can it be an ordinary guard?

Yue Lei took a deep breath, and there was a look of interest in his eyes.

"Brother Yue Lei, how is it?"

Seeing Yue Lei's reaction like this, Han Yanzhi's heart suddenly tightened slightly, could it really be a special class?

"I don't know if it's a special class, but they are definitely all sharp soldiers who have fought countless battles on the battlefield, and they have extremely rich combat experience.

This line of people is not simple. ”

Hearing Yue Lei say this, everyone paid attention to it.

Unlike Yue Ai, who has just joined the army not long ago, Yue Lei has been in battle for a long time, and his own strength is superb, and he is also an official and a six-rank Zhaowu captain, his vision is still extremely sharp.

Yue Wei glared at everyone dissatisfied, and shouted very unhappily: "Why did the second brother believe what he said, but I said that you didn't believe it?" ”

"Because, you've just come of age, you're only sixteen, hahaha......"

The corners of Zhang Ziyan's mouth hooked slightly, and he winked at Yue Wei and laughed.

Yue Ai's face suddenly turned red with anger, "Zhang Ziyan! How dare you call me a little brat! ”

"Hey, hey~ I didn't say that, you said it yourself, hahaha......"

"Zhang Ziyan, see if I don't beat you into a pig's head today!"

Yue Wei was even more angry, and when he got up, he chased after Zhang Ziyan, who had already seen that the opportunity was bad and got up and ran.

Yue Lei shook his head helplessly, but there was a smile in his eyes.

As the four people who entered the palace on the same day and were enshrined, his father Yue Fei, as well as Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi had a deep relationship.

And as their children, they have a very good relationship with each other.

The eldest brother Yue Yun can fight well and has extraordinary wisdom, but he is very disdainful in terms of deceit and communication;

The third brother Yue Lin, the fourth brother Yue Zhen, and the fifth brother Yue Ai are still very young after all, and this private matter can only be provoked by him.

Yue Lei knew very well that although his Yue family's army was extraordinary, as latecomers, they had always been feared and excluded by those "predecessors";

Moreover, the Son of Heaven also has great restrictions on the Yue family's army, and no one can find out what the Son of Heaven really thinks.

Therefore, in this case, he must stand up like a man and unite the people who belong to the ranks of being excluded and suppressed, only in this way can they gain a long-term foothold in the Great Song Dynasty.

Originally, this kind of thing should have been led by the father, but a father who came forward could easily incur the crime of forming a party for personal gain;

Second, his father's personality is even worse than that of his eldest brother, and he has great respect for the imperial order, and this kind of thing is not what he likes to do.

No, he could only stand up and pick up this heavy beam. (To be continued.) )
