"Brother Huyan, is that the capital, it looks so tall!" In a long queue outside the south gate of the capital, a thin boy of fifteen or sixteen years old said excitedly to a burly man next to him.

"Haha, little monkey, your eyes are really sharp, that is indeed the city wall of the capital, the entire Great Song Dynasty can't find a city wall higher than Tokyo City, and when you arrive in the capital, the eldest brother will take you to eat all the delicious food in the capital!" The burly man also said happily that he was Hu Yanqing, who had rushed back from Western Xia, and this time he returned to Beijing with Zhao Ji to accept Zhao Shu's reward.

The people around Hu Yanqing are all soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in Western Xia, and the thin young man next to him is the son of his good brother Old Monkey, when the old monkey and Scar in order to save him, in Xingqing Mansion City and a Western Xia warrior desperately, the result was a death and a disability, Hu Yanqing had promised them to take them to the capital, Scar rode a horse next to him, but the old monkey had been buried in Western Xia, but Hu Yanqing found the son of the old monkey.

Speaking of the old monkey family are all Huanqing people, in addition to a wife, there are five children, of which the little monkey is the boss, and the old monkey also looks the most similar, there are two younger brothers and two younger sisters below, and it is precisely to feed this big family, so the old monkey has to go to the battlefield desperately, for the old monkey to die, although their family is very sad, but also have been psychologically prepared, not to mention that the court's generous pension to them also made the old monkey family reduce a lot of sadness =, after all, for the poor family, A life is actually valuable.

Originally, Hu Yanqing wanted to take the old monkey's family to the capital, but the old monkey's wife was unwilling to leave home for too long, and the little monkey's younger brothers and sisters were too young to travel long distances, so in the end he had to let the little monkey follow Hu Yanqing to see it, and the little monkey also wanted to enter the army very much. went into battle to kill the enemy like his father, and Hu Yanqing had already made up his mind to send him to the military academy to study for a few years before coming out.

"Brother Huyan, is the military school you mentioned really that good, why can't I just go to take my father's seat?" The little monkey suddenly opened his mouth and asked at this time, although the old monkey was killed in battle, he was rewarded by the imperial court. Among them, there is a military officer from Jiupin who accompanies the captain of Rong, with this position, as long as the little monkey enters the army, at least he can start from the chief, the little monkey is young and anxious, so he is anxious to enter the army to do a career, at least not worse than his father.

Hearing the little monkey's words, before Hu Yanqing could speak, he heard the scar of the cavalry next to him laugh and say, "Little monkey." You kid is really confused, you don't want to think about who those bastards in the army are, do you think you can subdue them just by virtue of your father's exploits? I tell you, if you enter the army now, even if you become a leader, you will only be dealt with by your subordinates in the end, so unless you really have the ability, don't enter the army lightly. ”

Scar's left leg calf was cut off. You won't be able to go to battle in the future, but you can still ride a horse. But you can't run quickly, otherwise it is easy to fall, this time he is also one of the soldiers who entered Beijing to be rewarded, in fact, not only him, but also more than 800 soldiers who were airborne to Xingqing Mansion and survived, all of them had to enter Beijing to be sealed. In addition, there are more than 1,000 meritorious soldiers, a total of 2,000 people, many of whom are injured and disabled soldiers like Scar, but they will be arranged to serve in the post station or government office in the future, and they do not have to worry about their future life.

"Huh. What your eldest brother scar said is right, the army is not so easy to enter, so you must learn more skills in the military school, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the army, and stay in the military school for a few years, plus you have a military officer, it is easier to be promoted in the army in the future, and the future is brighter, so little monkey, you must not underestimate the study of the military school in the past few years. Hu Yanqing smiled again at this time and said, although he was not a few years older than the little monkey, he was much richer than him in terms of experience.

"I see, thank you two big brothers for your advice!" The little monkey heard the lesson of the two eldest brothers, and smiled a little embarrassedly at the moment, although he has little knowledge, it does not mean that he is stupid, in fact, on the contrary, his brain is very smart, as soon as he heard the words of Hu Yanqing and Scar, he immediately understood, and at the same time couldn't help but look forward to the military school, speaking of which, the eldest brother Hu Yan next to him graduated from the military school, and he made such a great contribution, and he didn't know what that military school was like?

Soon Hu Yanqing and their team came to the south gate of the capital, for these meritorious soldiers, Zhao Shu also attaches great importance to it, not to mention that Zhao Yan is also in the team, so like the last time Zhao Yan entered Beijing, he also led the civil and military officials to greet him, and held a grand ceremony to enter the city, countless people in the capital welcomed him, and the cheers were higher and higher.

In this warm atmosphere, Hu Yanqing and Scar and others also puffed up their chests, and sat straight through the city gate one by one on the horse and entered the city, the little monkey was also the first time to receive the attention of so many people, and he suddenly felt enthusiastic, but he quickly thought that this time he could have such treatment with the help of his father's meritorious service, and when he entered the army in the future, he must make meritorious contributions with his own efforts, and then be welcomed by countless people like Brother Huyan.

After a warm ceremony to enter the city, Hu Yanqing and their meritorious soldiers were arranged to live in the post house, of course, people like Hu Yanqing, who were originally born in the door, naturally did not live in the post house, he took the scar and the little monkey that night, and a group of friends lived at home, several elders of the Huyan family also attached great importance to Hu Yanqing, the best junior in the family, and immediately prepared a sumptuous reception banquet for them, and almost all the men of the Huyan family sat down to accompany each other, Last time, Zhao Yan had learned the family style of the Huyan family, but as a result, all the people were drunk by the brothers of the Huyan family, and they only got up at noon the next day with their heads covered.

Zhao Shu couldn't immediately meet Hu Yanqing and their meritorious soldiers, so they had enough time to play in the capital, Hu Yanqing also did what he said, with scars and little monkeys, they haunted the food places in the capital, tasting all the delicacies they could eat, and even in the end, he took the scars to the military academy and tasted the most authentic braised pork there, which is also the food that Hu Yanqing has always been thinking about, but when Scar ate the braised pork, he thought of Zhao Yan to visit them, They and the old monkey ate braised pork for the first time, but unfortunately most of the people who ate braised pork together at that time had died in battle, which also made him cry sadly on the spot, which caused many people present to cry because of this.

Zhao Yan was also very happy about the arrival of Hu Yanqing and these people, and he also invited Hu Yanqing and Scar and others to his courtyard together with Hu Yanping, and then invited them to have a sumptuous roast duck feast, but Scar They found out for the first time that there was such a delicious duck in the world, and finally at the end of the banquet, these people couldn't walk one by one, and finally they could only be pulled back by a carriage, which was also the first time they participated in the banquet without getting drunk.

After a few days, Hu Yanqing and they finally waited for Zhao Shu's summons, of course, with Zhao Shu's identity, it was naturally impossible to call Yanqing them alone, but to gather all the soldiers to the Daqing Palace, and the eunuch announced the reward for the soldiers, and then set up a banquet to entertain them, but although the banquet was very rich, but the scars and little monkeys were very restrained, and they didn't dare to let go of eating and drinking, in fact, let alone them, even Hu Yanqing felt uncomfortable in the palace.

Zhao Yan, as a prince, also participated in the war against Western Xia, so he also attended this banquet, and when the banquet began, he saw the restraint of Hu Yanqing and others, and immediately leaned over with a wine glass and laughed with Hu Yanqing and others, and Scar and others saw that Zhao Yan, an acquaintance, was also there, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.

"Brother Qing'er, the military academy has already been arranged, you can just let the little monkey go to the military academy to report in a few days." After Zhao Yan toasted the others, he came to Hu Yanqing again and sat down and said, the last time he entertained Hu Yanqing and others, the other party told him about the little monkey entering the military academy, because the enrollment of this year's military academy has ended, so Hu Yanqing wanted to ask Zhao Yan for help.

"Thank you, King of the County! I'll give you a toast on behalf of the little monkey! Hu Yanqing was also very excited when he heard this, the little monkey and the families of the soldiers who died in the war were not able to attend today's banquet, otherwise he would have to let the little monkey personally toast Zhao Yan.

"What's polite to me, speaking of which, I also had a relationship with the father of the little monkey, and the little monkey is a martyr, so he naturally has to receive some special care!" Zhao Yan also picked up his wine glass at the moment, and then drank it all with Hu Yanqing, then he suddenly thought of something, and said again at the moment, "Because the military academy has been open for a few months, I am worried that the little monkey will not be able to keep up with the progress of other cadets, so I specially told the instructor of the military academy to tutor him, so the first few months will be a little hard, you let him be mentally prepared to endure hardships." ”

"I understand, thank you King Jun!" Hu Yanqing also nodded when he heard this, take care of it, but the military academy is not a place to talk about human feelings, if the little monkey wants to graduate from the military academy, he must show his real skills, so the hard work is certain, and it may even be harder than others.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Zhao Yan, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and said, "The Ordnance Supervisor has invented a new firearm, which is very powerful, and it will be tested in three days. (To be continued......) R1292
