Just mentioning the name Zhang Qixian, Luo Youdu can't remember that much.
But looking at his poor appearance, he immediately remembered the deeds of the poor Prime Minister Zhang Qixian.
Zhang Qixian's family was poor since he was a child, but he was born with a generous heart and a fat body, and had a huge appetite. He was known in history as having a "rich physique and an extraordinary diet".
When I was young, whenever other families had weddings or weddings, I would join them to enjoy the autumn breeze. I never had enough to eat before I became rich.
It is said that after he became rich, some people were curious about how much he ate. So as much as he ate, his servants poured out as much as he could, and then he filled a big bucket.
The funniest thing is that he can eat anything and dares to eat anything.
Heishen Pill, a wind medicine spread in Bianjing City, Kaifeng, is very effective in dispelling wind, activating blood circulation, and dredging meridians. Most people take a small pill at a time. Zhang Qixian accidentally took it and found it tasted good. He took 5 or 7 taels of pills and sandwiched them between sesame cakes every day.
Eat inside.
Perhaps because he had developed the ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, this guy served four times in two palaces and served nine terms as minister, and finally died at a very old age.
But don't look at this kid's rich face, claiming that he is harmless to both humans and animals.
But when you are ruthless, you are really ruthless.
In the third year of Yongxi's reign, the Song army was defeated. The fierce general Yang Ye was killed in battle, and the generals of the Song army were seriously damaged.
Zhang Qixian asked himself to guard the border, setting a precedent for civilian border guards.
When the Liao soldiers came to the city, Ma Zheng, the captain of the Shenwei capital, led his troops in formation outside the south gate. They were outnumbered. The deputy commander Lu Hanyun was frightened and defended the camp.
Zhang Qixian was so angry that he directly ordered two thousand people to do hard labor and went to fight against the regular Liao army. As a scholar, with a fat body and strong arms, he desperately fought back more than ten thousand Liao soldiers with his bloody courage. He was later captured.
The son of the Northern King of the Liao Army killed hundreds of enemies and captured 2,000 war horses.
In the Song Dynasty, there were many literati who commanded armies and led their armies to victory, but there were not many who served as generals or prime ministers and were on the front line to kill the enemy like him.
A useless prime minister is a derogatory term used on others, but it is a great compliment to give this Qixian.
It's a pity that he is too young now and is not suitable for use, so he can only be used as an investment.
"belch!"
Zhang Qixian burped and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xianggong, for the rice. This is the first time the student has had enough to eat."
Luo Youdu secretly said in his heart: "You have eaten enough. My wife and I are still hungry now!" He smiled and said: "I finally understand what it means to be able to tolerate a big belly. With your courage and appetite, you are still eating.
The expenses for studying in Beijing can be collected from my house on a monthly basis. I hope you will succeed in your studies and be able to serve the country."
When he said this, his body ached a little.
If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Zhang Qixian, a useless prime minister in history, this would be a loss compared to business.
Zhang Qixian stood up in a hurry, with a strange look in his eyes, and the circles under his eyes were actually a little red. He could finally read with a full stomach.
It may sound like a disease of the rich, but it is the fate of the poor.
Zhang Qixian is talented and intelligent, but his natural belly makes him hungry all day long, making it difficult for him to calm down and study.
I finally got a lot of money from the robbers, and I didn't want to be caught.
Kou Xiang found out that he was not guilty at all, but the stolen goods were taken away.
I am worried and don’t know what to do.
I didn't expect Luo Youdu to be so interested in her.
Zhang Qixian bowed respectfully three times and said: "Thank you for your great kindness and kindness. The students will definitely remember it in their hearts and dare not forget it."
"It's okay!" Luo Youdu was surprised when he felt that he had had enough to watch for the first time. He asked Quan Xu to report to the Royal Camp Division and also told Zhang Qixian to study hard.
Luo Youdu returned to the inner house and told Fu Qing'er that they would have to eat later.
Fu Qing'er clicked her tongue and said, "That man named Zhang Qixian really ate the food of more than 20 people in our inner house?"
Although Fengzhu and the others are women, the Eighteen Knights have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and their appetites are no less than those of normal men.
Luo Youdu also had to admire him and said: "Being a husband is also an eye-opener. Let alone Hu Yanzan eat a lot in the future. Compared with this Qixian, who is he?"
Zhao Kuangyin's reputation was greatly affected by Wang Yansheng's case, and he became much more honest.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being cheated by Wang Yansheng, Zhao Kuangyin not only strengthened the military discipline of the Dianqian Division, but also not spared his relatives and friends who had the bad habits of the times, and seriously warned him to be a good citizen of the Zhou Dynasty who abide by the law.
Guo Rong also specially praised him for this.
Luo Youdu was secretly amused, and he tricked his pig teammates twice in a row.
Zhao Kuangyin was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Now that things have happened, Dazhou has entered into a rhythm of recuperation.
It is no longer possible to expand the scale of the Military High Palace's Front Division and the Guard's Military Division, and changes are limited to internal adjustments.
Luo Youdu's Imperial Camp Division was expanded by 5,000 people, now totaling 15,000, who were allocated to the six armies.
There won't be much change in the short term.
The only change was the horse administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The imperial court strengthened its contacts with the Dingnan Army, the Ganzhou Uighurs, and the Guiyi Army, and increased orders for the purchase of military horses.
But Guo Rong's main focus was on administration.
We began to eliminate little by little the bad administrative habits of the Five Dynasties.
However, all this has little to do with Luo Youdu, who has now completely transferred to the military.
Luo Youdu could not interfere in government affairs without Guo Rong's inquiry.
Luo Youdu or Bianjing, the military camp of the Royal Camp Division ran on both sides, half every month.
But when he stayed in the Yuyingsi military camp, he always lived in his Qixian manor.
Luo Youdu and Fu Qing'er were married in person, and they were reluctant to separate and went together together.
On this day, Luo Youdu's manor received an uninvited guest.
"Shu Yuan has met Luo Tongjun. He regretted that he did not have the opportunity to get to know Luo Tongjun when he was in Shouzhou. He learned that Tongjun was here and came here to see him."
A handsome, polite middle-aged man saluted Luo Youdu respectfully.
"Are you? Zhu Yuan?"
Luo Youdu frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. If he remembered correctly, he was the one from the Southern Tang Dynasty who set off a counterattack and defeated the Zhou army repeatedly, giving Guo Rong a headache. Later, he was framed by Chen Jue and acted decisively.
Zhu Yuan surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty and determined the victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was just that he called himself Shu Yuan, which made Luo Youdu suddenly doubt his own memory.
Shu Yuan hurriedly explained: "I am indeed Zhu Yuan, but my name is Shu Yuan now. Zhu Yuan's original surname is Shu. He was adopted by his adoptive father and changed his surname to Zhu. This time he returned to Zhou Dynasty and decided to leave the past behind and changed his surname back to Shu.
.”
It turned out that after Zhu Yuan of Zijin Mountain surrendered to Zhou Dynasty, instead of blaming Chen Jue, Li Jing placed all the responsibilities on Zhu Yuan and executed his wife and children.
Zhu Yuan felt guilty in his heart and did not want to face the reality, so he gave up his surname.
However, the surname has been changed, but the nature has not changed.
Shu Yuan was brave and good at fighting. Guo Rong loved his bravery and appointed him as the training envoy of the Caizhou regiment.
The position is neither big nor small, but the position is very awkward.
Caizhou is located in the north of Huaihe River, east of Tongbai Mountain, and south of the upper reaches of Honghe River. It was called Runan in ancient times and is located in the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
No matter whether Dazhou goes south or north in the future, he will not be able to reach the border here.
The military and political system of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been very clear.
Except for the Palace Front Division, the Guards and Military Division, the Royal Camp Division, the main force of the iron fight, and the tooth soldiers of the feudal towns, except for a few strong border towns that still retain their combat effectiveness, the rest are no longer able to compete with the three imperial guards.
In the future, when the Great Zhou Dynasty sends out troops, it will inevitably be based on the imperial troops of the Three Divisions as the main force, and will be supplemented by the Ya soldiers of the Jiedu Envoys close to the conquest areas.
No matter whether it is to attack Jiangnan, Wuping, Shu, Northern Han, or even Khitan, it is impossible to mobilize Caizhou's troops and horses.
As a training officer of the Caizhou Regiment, as expected, the soldiers in his hands could only deal with possible bandits, but could not actually go to the battlefield.
If a man does not make contributions, what is the difference between him and a fat pig in a pigsty?
Shu Yuan did not want to die of old age and take office, so he went to find Luo Youdu and brought him to pay a visit.
Luo Youdu heard the explanation and said: "That's it!"
Then he walked around the cart of gifts brought by Shu Yuan on a carriage, and his eyes fell on a volume of ancient books. He reached out and took it out. After a closer look, he saw that it was "Astronomical Stars" written by Tao Hongjing, a strange man from the Qi Dynasty and Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.
Calculate".
Luo Youdu said: "I will accept this! You can take the others back!"
Shu Yuan said anxiously: "These are all Luo Tongjun's thoughts."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "This small gift is enough for the exchanges between friends."
Shu Yuan was overjoyed: "The general is terrified because he is not worthy of commanding the army."
Luo Youdu led Shu Yuan into the house and said as he walked: "But I admire Brother Shu very much. He stirred up the storm with his own efforts and almost turned the tide."
Shu Yuan performed extremely well in the Battle of Huainan, but in the Battle of Huainan in history, Shu Yuan's performance was even more exciting.
Shu Yuan relied on the 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands to overwhelm Li Chongjin's bodyguards and directly solved the siege of Shouzhou. He drove Li Chongjin's soldiers and horses surrounding Shouzhou to the north of Shouzhou city.
It is also because of this that Zhang Yongde historically suspected Li Chongjin of collaborating with the enemy, and even cursed Li Chongjin for treachery after drinking.
Li Chongjin had no treacherous plot, but Shu Yuan was really not afraid of death in order to make great achievements, and he attacked really hard.
Shu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them sat down.
Shu Yuan said: "Will the commander-in-chief look down on the general because he surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle line?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "With a monarch like Li Jing, it is not surprising. I can understand Brother Shu's mood. What I can say for sure is that before he was forced by Chen Jue, Brother Shu risked his life and fought hard. He was the biggest enemy of our army.
A strong enemy cannot be fake."
After Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty lost his imperial title, he was already a minister of the Zhou Dynasty in name.
The great-great-grandfather of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei was named Guo Jing, so Li Jing changed his name to Li Jing to avoid taboos.
Shu Yuan was moved and said: "The commander-in-chief knows me! As a man, the general has the desire to pursue meritorious service, but he also knows the word loyalty and righteousness in his heart. He is definitely not a mercenary villain. Li Jing... don't tell me!"
"The officials don't despise the junior general, and they should be content with appointing the junior general to train the Caizhou regiment. It's just that the junior general thinks that his skills are not inferior to others, and he doesn't want to waste his life, even if he is wrapped in horse leather, it doesn't matter. He just wants to have someone to prove himself.
Opportunity."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Brother Shu's heart for boxing is very touching. Although the officials have appointed you as the regiment training envoy, they still let you take charge of the army of a state. It is obviously useful to you. Go back and train the army well, there will be a place for you to use your skills."
