The civil strife in Liao quickly spread to the people and became a hot topic in Kaifeng City.
When the lanterns first came on, the Changqing Tower was once again ablaze with lights and feasting. Hundreds of drinkers came from all over the place chatting and laughing, making this gorgeous building bustling with activity.
"The chaos in the Liao Kingdom is a good time for our army to march north and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!" Kang, a diner at a certain table, said passionately.
The companions next to him also responded enthusiastically.
"That's right! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally the hometown of Youjin, and they all have the customs of clothing and hats from the Central Plains. As long as our army crosses the border river, all the people will eat pots of pulp and welcome the king. The people's will will be determined.
It is capable of destroying everything and is invincible. It is a shame that there are so many dead people in the court today who have missed such a good opportunity!"
Someone rolled up his sleeves, raised his arms and shouted: "It's a shame that the officials patrolled the north of the mountain, and these people in the court were just submissive and didn't know how to fight! I really wish I could ask the emperor for military talismans, and then lead the men from Kyushu to bravely march north to regain Yan.
Yun Liuzhou has accomplished this unparalleled feat!"
His cry was enthusiastically supported by his companions.
Most of these people who are drunk and drunk are former scholars. Now that the scientific examinations are not popular and they can't get into the universities, they can only find a job and become ordinary people in the market.
Now after a few glasses of wine, my past ambitions and grievances over the years have been brought back to mind.
They only feel that their natural talents are lacking in opportunities. They hate the elders in the court for being timid and missing opportunities. They even hate them for not understanding people well and not knowing how to support young people like themselves.
The people at the other table looked like they were students from a certain university, with disdain on their faces.
"State affairs are nothing but complicated, and military strategy only requires calmness. After drinking a few ounces of horse urine, do you think you can go to heaven? How many laws and regulations can you memorize? Can you ride a horse and draw a bow? Do you dare to brag about leading the men of Kyushu?
, are you moving forward bravely?"
The table next to me was the most excited when the blood was boiling. As soon as I heard this, the blood in my heart was so full that I wanted to spurt out of the Tianling Gai.
He slapped the table and said: "You stinky scholars, you read a few dead sentences and you dare to make up my story. Can you memorize the laws and regulations?"
"I know how to memorize it!"
The students at the table next to him replied unceremoniously.
The person who slapped the table turned pale and blue at one time or another, and he forced himself to ask: "Can you ride a horse and draw a bow?"
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"Of course you can ride a horse and draw a bow."
Nowadays, the new education regulations and systems require physical fitness starting from elementary school. Among them, in the first grade of elementary school, students must start to draw soft bows, practice formation, and practice military exercises.
When you get to college and your conditions are better, you should learn how to ride horses and archery.
But for these former scholars and now common people, it was too heartbreaking.
At the beginning, it was because I didn't bother to study law that I failed to grasp the transformation exams in the early years of Tianqi. Later, when the new academic system became popular, it became even more difficult to enter the university and enter the official system.
Listening to these university students proudly speak out, these people just feel shame shooting out of their faces like steel needles.
You bastards! Taking advantage of the excitement of the wine, these people rushed to the table next to them and started playing ping pong.
Why are you talking so much? Just hit him!
The two groups fought together, with cups and bowls flying around and wine and food spilling everywhere.
The diners have long been used to it. There is no restaurant where people are not drunk, and drunk people are not fighting. They are cheering and making noises nearby.
The guys quickly gathered around and separated this group from the others. They were well-trained and seemed to be used to it.
A person who looked like a manager said to the two groups: "If you don't stop, the brass whistle will be blown immediately. When the patrol police comes, they will drag you into the police station and detain you for a few days. It will not look good on you."
The university students had some scruples, so they gave up and called a truce.
However, the former scholar found that the common people in the market were not willing to forgive him, and those in charge immediately turned their faces.
"Come here, send these guys to the police station to sober up. Then tell the police officers in the station that these guys were drunk and crazy because of the vandalism in the restaurant. They have to compensate for this loss."
University students can't afford to offend, they are all the elites of the Song Dynasty. Even if they fail to pass the national examination, they will be the masters of various schools after they come out. They are much more prestigious than you who are poor and poor!
The manager has sharp eyes and has already figured things out clearly.
As if they had received a military order, the guys set up one of them and dragged them out. The evil boss also made a wooden board next to him, just like the opera singer, "Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dip."
”.
It's very precise, just like in the play, after the judge has finished interrogating the prisoner, the bailiffs drag him down.
After a while, Changqing Tower returned to normal. What happened just now was drifting in the wind amidst the bustling laughter and laughter, and no one could remember it anymore.
"I've met Teacher Yanxiu, I've met Teacher Ying Xiang." Four young people walked into a private room and politely bowed to the people inside.
There were only two people in the private room, one was Liu Ziyu and the other was about the same age as him.
"Zhengfu (Qu Duan) and Jin Qing (Wu Jie) are here. Who are these two heroes? Do they look good?" Liu Ziyu greeted warmly.
"Teacher Yanxiu, these two are Zicai (Wang Yan) and Liangchen (Han Shizhong). Zicai and Liangchen are also students of our Di Wuxiang Military Academy. Both of them were recommended by their respective departments and studied in advanced courses.
.So the two teachers have never taught in person.”
"Oh, it turns out they are all talented people from Di Wuxiang Academy. Please take a seat."
Wang Yan and Han Shizhong knew the identities of the two people opposite them.
One is the former Marquis of Yu, the former military capital of the Dian Dynasty, and the son of Liu Zhongyan, the current governor of Hebei County. He is also the school secretary and the lecturer of the Di Wuxiang Military Academy.
The other one was a student of Uncle Yi (Cheng Zhishao), the governor of Du branch and the lecturer of the sergeant academy, Zhao Kai, whose courtesy name was Yingxiang.
After the six people sat down, Liu Ziyu said with a smile: "Zhengfu and Jin Qing, I taught them both when we were at Huaide Camp. They are very proud of their tempers. If they can make two friends, they must have something special about them."
"
After saying that, he glanced at the two of them.
Han Shizhong was tall and tall, and he looked like a brave man at first glance. His eyes were full of energy and energy.
Wang Yan is tall and long-armed, but in comparison he is much more gentle, with bright eyes, but more restrained.
"Mr. Yanxiu, brother Zicai is from Luzhou, Hedong County. He has loved reading military books since he was a child. He was admitted to Taiyuan Army Primary School at the age of twelve. He graduated from Tianqi in the seventh year and joined the army. At the beginning of this year, he was recommended to enter Wuxiang Military Academy." Wu
Jie introduced from the side.
"Brother Liangchen is from Suide, Yanzhou, Qinchuan County. Last year, when he was only eighteen years old, he joined the army. He immediately reinforced the Dingxiang Army and conquered the Moge tribe, the Bai Tatar Wanggu tribe, and rectified the order in Yunzhong.
, fought bravely and received a medal for showing off his military prowess, so he was recommended to the sergeant academy."
"So that's it, we are all heroes for a while." Liu Ziyu and Zhao Kai looked at each other and nodded, "Today there is no distinction between teachers and students, it's just a friendship between friends. The two of us are not much older than the four of you, so why bother?
We look like we are a generation older."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
"Did you hear the controversy in the lobby just now?" Zhao Kai asked.
"I heard it."
"What do you think?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Wang Yan, the eldest and the hidden eldest, replied: "How can important military matters be decided during discussions at a banquet?"
Liu Ziyu saw that he was cautious in his answers and knew that they still had some restrictions, so he directly stated his attitude.
"When the news reached Hebei, someone asked my father. My father replied, if I were still the Marquis of Yu, the commander of the army, I could still talk to you. But now that I am the governor of Hebei, I can only abide by my duties and dare not speak nonsense. Military aircraft
Matters shall be planned by the Privy Council and decided by the officials.”
"That's right, we just listen to the officials' orders!"
Everyone responded in unison, and then took advantage of the opportunity to raise their wine glasses and wish the officials far away in Lingbei good health.
After drinking for three rounds, Han Shizhong couldn't help but said: "In all likelihood, we can't afford to fight this battle this year, and we will fight it next year. Brother Zicai and I are in the training class. After one year, we can return early next year."
The army. Zhengfu and Jin Qing are in the normal class. Next year the two-year term will expire and it is time to leave the army. I hope we can be assigned to the northern front line and not be assigned to the Yunling Economic and Strategy Department."
Wu Jie was the youngest, loved to joke, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, good things don't work, bad things work. If a good minister says this, it's probably going to be very bad!"
Han Shizhong looked resentful, but everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Jie blinked and said to Liu Ziyu: "Mr. Yanxiu, when I graduate next year, please help me negotiate peace. I don't want to go to the Fourth Army of the North. I can just divide it among several guards in the north."
Wang Yan and the others' eyes lit up. Yes, Mr. Liu is the biological son of Duke Zhongyan, and Duke Zhongyan is not only an old minister of Qiandi, but also served as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the army.
Everyone in the army knows that this official position has a great say in the promotion of officers and generals in addition to the Ming Military Law and Military Discipline. Although he has been transferred to Hebei County now, his connections with the old officials are still there.
If Mr. Yanxiu could help me, it would be of great help to the four non-commissioned officers.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the four people, Liu Ziyu smiled faintly.
"Officials say that for officers and generals, no matter how good the school is, it is not as good as going to the battlefield to practice several times. The four of you are all heroes of the moment. I am willing to say a word for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yanxiu!" This chapter has been completed!
