Chapter Eleven: The Capital's First Three Smiles

Is this time and space the original history of the Northern Song Dynasty?

Wang Yue was also a little confused.

He now doesn't know if it was the real Northern Song Dynasty history. The Song Jiang and his group of people were like this, or if this time and space were not the real Northern Song Dynasty in history...

Of course, it is definitely not the Water Margin.

The Seventy-Two Earthly Evils in Water Margin were added by Shi Nai'an himself.

The legend of the 36 people of Song Jiang has been circulated for more than a hundred years before the Water Margin, and has appeared since the late Southern Song Dynasty. Whether it is the legacy of the Song Xuanhe or the 36 people of Song Jiang, it proves that there are indeed such a group of people in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Moreover, the official history does record them, even if there are only a few simple sentences, the problem now is that the official record of their participation in the expedition of Fang La is just one sentence.

But what these soldiers said did not seem that simple. On the contrary, these people also played an important role in the process of conquering Fang La.

What they said would not be false.

Wang Yue, who had fought with Wu Song, knew very well that the bravery and invincible they said was true.

Moreover, the endings of these people seem to be different. At least Shi Jin and the few who died in Water Margin did not die, and Shi Jin was very manly.

As for Song Jiang’s official position, it’s very reasonable.

There was no pacification envoy in Chuzhou.

The Northern Song Dynasty's appeasement envoy was at the level of the Lu, and this position was almost the same as Tong Guan's current Xuanfu Envoy. If compared, the former was similar to the governor of the Ming Dynasty, while the latter was similar to the governor of the army. The former was usually part-time job of the prefectures and prefectures in the road, but the Xuanfu Envoy was different. He had to be the chief political affairs and the Privy Councilor. As these soldiers said, Song Jiang was just a rebel, so how could he be a pacifier? Moreover, no state in Chuzhou would set up a pacifier.

It is even more impossible to control the rule of the imperial guards. This is a temporary position to rule the field army.

A regiment training envoy serves as a real position in the Chuzhou Military and Horse Commissioner, which is in line with his identity. Military and Horse Commissioner is in charge of local garrisons.

He is indeed a dog from the governor.

"Who caught Fang La?"

Wang Yue asked.

"This is known to everyone, and it is the Xihe Road Xin defense."

The veteran said.

Just looking at the expressions is very story-producing.

"We are all our brothers. Do you have anything to worry about? I won't go out and talk nonsense?"

Wang Yue said with dissatisfaction.

"In fact, it is Han Shizhong, his subordinate general, but he is a general and commands the army. How can Han Shizhong fight with him like this? Even if he is above his head, this is the case in our army. If you have any credit, you must first give in to the official's retribution, otherwise you will be in vain if you find a charge under someone else's hands and beat him to death."

The veteran said.

The other soldiers shook their heads helplessly.

Wang Yue roughly understood that capturing Fang La was indeed not Song Jiang and others, but Song Jiang was also an important force in the war to fight Fang La. Moreover, the losses in the battle of Hangzhou were huge, and the remaining living were basically disappointed. Song Jiang exchanged his brothers' lives for a half-large official. Some of the others stayed in the army and were small officers in the local area, and some simply stopped serving them. Lu Zhishen died in the temple and Wu Song became a monk. As for the appearance in Kaifeng, it was normal.

He did not recite the Buddha's name when he became a monk.

It was nothing more than getting Zhang Du Certificate and having fun outside as a monk.

The Song Dynasty's sacrificial certificate was a pillar of finance, and each sacrificial certificate was not cheap, but monks with sacrificial certificates were recognized by the state and would be respected wherever they went. This is different from the precepts given to their disciples by monks themselves, similar to those with staff and temporary workers.

In this way...

"Who has old clothes to sell?"

Wang Yue asked.

The next day, dawn.

Wang Yue, who was wearing a hat and a pair of coarse cloth shoes on the upper robe, stood on the bank of the Bian River with a look of vigilance, looking at the opening of the Dongshui Gate in front of him.

He slipped out.

Anyway, no one looked at him. As soon as the barracks approached the city gate, the bored officers and soldiers ran out...

What?

train?

When did the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty train?

If the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were really diligent, they wouldn’t be so depressed!

The new recruits may be able to train, but these were all with Tong Guan for many years, fighting in the northwest and in Jiangnan. They are already elite soldiers who are used to fighting. They don’t need to train every day, and they are about to go to war. They were originally going to have fun in the capital. These were just withdrawn from the battlefield in Jiangnan last year, and now they are asking them to go north to fight hard, and they are training, and they can train, and they can play whatever they like.

There are people who don’t go home at night.

Including Wang Bing himself, he actually lives at his home in the city.

Most of the people who are in the local area actually go home, while those who are in other places basically live happily in the city during the day, or even stay at home at night.

Don't worry about military discipline or anything else.

They are all confidants of Master Tong, and as long as they are not out of line, they will be protected by Master Tong.

Wang Yue had just bought clothes and mixed in the middle of those who went out of the camp and into the city. He had just joined the army for a day, and there were not many people in the camp who really knew him, so he came out swayingly.

He had to go into the city to find Wu Song.

He had to coax Wu Song to go to Hebei with him. Wu Song did break his arm, but he could still tie him with him if he broke his arm. Besides, he could not shoot arrows or use long weapons. Give him a knife. He was still invincible in the melee. Such a person would be coaxed by his side, at least his safety increased a lot. Wang Yue had only one purpose in this trip, to save his life on the battlefield. As long as he survived and had some military achievements, he could continue to be promoted and truly lead the army in the Shengjie Army.

That's fine.

In troubled times, as long as you have troops in your hands, you can find a place to be the king of the mountain!

Besides, there are still three years left to Jingkang. If you can climb to a certain position in the army in these three years, Jingkang can do something in the chaos in the north.

Han Shizhong is just a deputy general.

Yue Fei should have joined the army in Hebei after Tong Guan was defeated this year.

When Zhang Jun was in Jingkang, he was just the next general of the Zhongshi Central Army, and he was probably not as good as Han Shizhong at this time.

The remaining aristocratic families such as Liu Qi are still aristocratic families, who are purely gilding. As for Liu Guangshi's father, who is on the ranks of this expedition, probably he will follow his father.

These military leaders in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty were no better than him.

There is still hope in this way.

Of course, first of all, he has to survive on the battlefield.

Therefore, a good bodyguard like Wu Song must not be missed. He must be coaxed to follow him no matter what.

Tongjinmen in front slowly opened with the first ray of dawn...

The east water gate of the Bian River is not only the water gate, but also has a land gate on the left and right. Tongjin Gate on the north and Shangshan Gate on the south. They all have a urn city. During the Jingkang period, this place was the main battlefield.

The pedestrians who had been crowded outside the city gate immediately began to move forward. Wang Yue was crowded and walked in. The water gates of the Bian River next to him were also opened. Merchant ships from far south of the Yangtze River also walked towards the left and right water gates like pedestrians on both sides of the strait. While walking, Wang Yue looked at the nearest ship with interest. A girl in a narrow shirt and long skirt was frowning, standing on the bow deck, looking silently in front of him. Perhaps feeling his gaze, he turned his head and looked coldly.

Wang Yue smiled at her.

The girl turned her head straight back.

Then the boat under her feet began to enter the water gate and was blocked by the guardrail on the shore.

Wang Yue also followed the pedestrian to Tongjinmen Wucheng. Because many vendors entering the city had to pay taxes, he waited for a moment before entering the city. After entering the city, he saw the girl again, and the latter also saw him. Wang Yue smiled at her again as if he was smiling.

The girl ignored him.

The boat under her feet did not dock at the dock next to her, but continued to sail along the Bian River. Wang Yue also walked along the Bian River, passing through the bridge and down the Tuqiao Bridge. Finally, her boat stopped at Shangtuqiao. To the west, it was the main commercial street in the city. This commercial street was parallel to the inner city wall, and Baokangmen was on the west side. Then to Zhuquemen and then to Chongmingmen, it was all commercial streets. The sections of Yujie Street, Neichengzhou Bridge and Outer City Longjin Bridge, which run through Zhuquemen, are the core commercial streets of Kaifeng.

It is also a symbol of commercial prosperity in the Song Dynasty.

So merchants from the south all came ashore in Shangtuqiao area. From here to Baokangmen, they were all hotels for foreign merchants. They unloaded their goods here and moved into familiar hotels, and then began to enter the city's huge business system from here.

Wang Yue walked across the earth bridge.

He still went to Baokang Gate to enter the inner city. He didn't have to worry about being discovered in his outfit. He just went to Daxiangguo Temple to find Wu Song after entering the inner city.

The girl also happened to land, and there were a few strong men behind her. The leader was a middle-aged man with a burly figure as if he was an iron tower, with a bit of the Dwayne Johnson smell...

The arm seemed to catch up with the girl's slender waist.

Just as Wang Yue walked over the earth bridge, the girl was walking up the steps. Wang Yue finally finished three smiles at her...

Then the girl turned into an iron tower.

"Brother, you're in the way!"

Accompanied by a sound like a bell, a big hand that looked like an eagle's claw fell high towards his shoulders.

Wang Yue dodged away the moment he was caught. The man was slightly surprised, then stretched out his other hand and crossed his face in front of him. The girl lowered her head and walked by the blockade of her arm. However, Wang Yue stretched out his fingers very seriously, poked the man's scary arm, and felt the hardness of the muscles...

"Can you tear a living person with your hands?"

He asked curiously.

"This brother is joking. We are all good people who are law-abiding and law-abiding. You can't even think about it."

The strong man said.

"I think you must have teared it."

Wang Yue said.

The strong man's face changed slightly, but then he returned to normal. Then he just smiled slightly, and then followed the girl who had already walked over and waited for others.

"Did I really guess it right?"
