Youwuwei is not only an army yamen, but also some soldiers are stationed here. These soldiers are fed and housed in the military camp. Today's soldiers are recruited, and all food, housing, clothing and weapons are provided by the court. Just like the armies of later generations, The soldiers all eat in the large canteen. As for the food situation, it is unknown. The current food price is so low, but there is no problem in feeding them.
Qin Xuan saw the bearded man who had ruined himself in the martial arts temple in the crowd. There were four or five people with him. It seemed that they were all together. However, he looked around at the candidates around him. These people were probably from below. In the feudal town, there were almost a hundred people here. He looked around and found no one he knew, but he rarely interacted with the military or some local people, so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't know them.
When Qin Xuan looked at the bearded young man, the young man also turned his head and saw Qin Xuan, and then showed a sneer, an arrogant look, as if he was treating him like a little sheep, and He stretched out his little finger and gestured towards Qin Xuan. Several young people beside him also showed playful expressions. Two of them did not look like Central Plains people. They had small eyes and high cheekbones, but they looked a bit like Mongolians. look.
Qin Xuan also unceremoniously stretched out the middle finger of his left hand and gestured at him, but the other party probably couldn't understand what it meant. This swearing gesture was only found in later generations, unlike gesticulating with his little finger, which was to despise his insignificance. Many people could understand what he meant. There were a few people watching the movements of the two of them, and they probably wouldn't have started fighting here otherwise.
"Brother, why do you have any quarrel with those barbarians?" asked a young man in his twenties. This young man is very tall, no less than 1.8 meters tall. His skin is a bit dark, and he has big eyes and double eyelids. He has a beard, but it is neatly trimmed. He looks very powerful, and he has the attitude of a handsome boy.
"Are they barbarians? There's no big quarrel. It's just the bearded man who was looking for trouble and had a few arguments." Qin Xuan said with a smile. It really didn't matter. He wouldn't really get angry over such a trivial matter. If this were the case, , they would have been mad to death a long time ago, but they are looking for trouble, and they are not the ones who are afraid of trouble.
"Oh, that's good. These people are not young. I heard they are from Youzhou and have some abilities. Brothers, please be careful. My surname is Zhai, my name is Tan, and my courtesy name is Zhengu. I live in Chang'an. I don't know about my brother? "Zhai Tan asked.
"Hello, Brother Zhai. My surname is Qin. My name is Xuan, my courtesy name is Jingyuan, and my home is also in Chang'an. Thank you brother for reminding me, but it's okay. Brother Zhai said they are from Youzhou. Do you know their surname?" Qin Xuan asked.
"The bearded young man like me is surnamed An. He seems to be the son of Pinglu Army An Lushan. I don't know his specific name. The rest are from Youzhou. I heard that Youzhou wants to win the top prize in martial arts this year. "Zhai Tan said with a smile.
"Haha, it turns out that he is An Lushan's son. No wonder, it is a bit interesting now, so they are not looking for trouble," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
An Lushan's son also came to participate in the martial arts competition. No wonder this boy was looking for trouble with him. It seemed that he came to avenge his father. An Lushan was beaten by him and he was severely punished. Because he came to Chang'an secretly, very few people knew about it, so it didn't spread. This guy probably knew everything about him in Chang'an, otherwise an outsider would inexplicably provoke an unknown person. .
"Youare you the Qin Jingyuan they often say? Yuyejiu, is that Qin Xuan from the Medical University you?" Zhai Tan asked in surprise, patting his head as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, it seems that Yuye Liquor is more famous than me," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
In Chang'an City, not many people know me, but there are definitely many people who know Yuye Wine. There are also many people who know that Yuye Wine was brewed by a man named Qin Xuan, because Yuye Wine is the same as the wine before the Tang Dynasty. It¡¯s completely different. In the past, you might not get drunk after a thousand cups of wine, but since the emergence of Yuye Liquor, those with a lighter alcohol content will feel dizzy after just one cup. Therefore, Yuye Liquor has been quickly accepted by people. Isn¡¯t it just drinking alcohol? Looking for that dizzy feeling?
"Yuye Liquor is really much more famous than you. I didn't expect it to be you. I've heard about you for a long time and we got to know each other today. It's a real pleasure to meet you. We are destined to be together. After today's exam, I'll treat you to a drink," Zhai Tan said .
Qin Xuan was a little puzzled. This Zhai Tan was from Chang'an. He had never seen him before. However, in Chang'an City with a population of more than one million, it was impossible to know everyone. However, those who could come to participate in the martial arts examinations had some background or Qualifications, etc., because in the current martial arts examination, not just anyone can sign up and take the exam. Those who participate in the martial arts examination basically register at the local level, and are recommended to the Ministry of War after passing the assessment by the state or county, or they are recommended by the army. Did you sign up by yourself or go through the back door??
"The relationship is good. Brother Zhai is in Chang'an, but I have never seen him. Is he serving in the army or in the court now?" Qin Xuan asked.
"It's a joke to call Jingyuan. I'm not in the army. I'm currently hanging around in the Taishi Bureau. It's because of my father's favor that I was able to join the Taishi Bureau. I've also been fond of dancing with guns and sticks since I was a child. I have nothing to do with my time. Although Jingyuan teaches medical skills to students at a medical university, even if he participates, he should also take the scientific examination, so why did he come to participate in the martial arts examination?" Zhai Tan asked strangely.
"Ahem I am interested in the knowledge of classics and history. I have mastered all seven or six of them, and I know nothing about the rest. Like you, I like to dance with guns and sticks, like the atmosphere of the army, and drink from a big bowl. Just eat meat and everything is straightforward, so I signed up to participate in the martial arts competition," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
The current Tang Dynasty is indeed what Qin Xuan said. The civil servants in the court are intrigues and cliques. Although they are higher in status than the military attach¨¦s, they are very tiring, not physically but mentally. Like him If a person with this kind of temperament really enters the officialdom, he may be sold out by others and still give money to others. He can be successful in the officialdom. He is not like a veteran, but as smooth as a loach, otherwise he will Not even the dregs are left after being eaten by others.
Now the army of the Tang Dynasty is relatively better, and it is not that complicated to get along. Everyone relies on military merit for promotion, and they are all brothers on the battlefield. There are not as many tricks as civilian officials, and warriors are also synonymous with rough people. In such a group, It is easier to make a career than a civil servant, and it is also easier to get promoted. After a few years, and with a relatively high position, you will naturally have the opportunity to enter the local government or the court. That means that the official is high, and ordinary people are not. I dare to torment you easily.
Another advantage of joining the army is that it will help your own plans. There is a saying in later generations that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Although it will not lead to rebellion, it is safer to have soldiers in hand. The changes in the past dynasties, Most of them are solved by force. There are very few that evolve peacefully, and they are quite dangerous. With military power in hand, it can also scare people.
I think back when Wu Zetian ascended the throne, she spent so much effort, appointed relatives and cruel officials, and eliminated many people who stood in the way. In this era, the Li Tang family was recognized as the authentic imperial family, not only by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, but also by the surrounding foreigners. In this way, it is very difficult to get them to change this view. This is also a concept that is deeply rooted in the hearts of these people. This is also the reason why Wu Zetian had to return the throne to the Li family in the end.
There are many reasons why this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, even if Wu Zetian's ruthless methods are used, it still cannot be solved. You cannot kill all the disobedient officials, unless you seize power with arms, so this is The plan must be prepared with both hands. Only in this way can the successful implementation of the plan be guaranteed. Now it seems that participating in the military examination and joining the army is the right path.
"By the way, Jingyuan said earlier that those barbarians were causing trouble for you. From your tone, it sounds like you know An Lushan? Do you have any issues with him?" Zhai Tan asked.
"Haha, I got to know An Lushan, and it's a bit of a holiday, but it's not a big problem, it's nothing," Qin Xuan said with a smile.
For An Lushan, this matter is a shame, but he can't stand reason. Even if he wants to settle accounts with himself, he can only do it secretly. He still doesn't dare to do it blatantly, at least his current strength is not what he expected. At the stage where he was pinching whatever he wanted, although the last incident of lying about his military exploits did not involve him, it was still thrilling and enough to keep him honest for a while.
As for everything about himself, An Lushan must also be very clear about it. If he wants to touch himself, he must think about the counterattack of the forces behind him. He has no ability to compete with them now, so he can only find opportunities to use dirty tricks. His son's This is the first time I have participated in a martial arts competition, and this year there is an exam for horn fighting. Hu people are also good at horn fighting, and they are very powerful. As long as they have good skills, they can cripple the opponent during the contest. Or being seriously injured is not a problem.
An Lushan knew that he was very good at fighting. It is estimated that his son who participated in the martial arts competition was not a low hand. He could participate in the martial arts competition and it was impossible for a low hand to get the first place. There was another one. They were all at the border, at least at the border. The people in the army are all people who fought on the battlefield. In terms of strength, they should not be underestimated. They do not have certain abilities and cannot be recommended by the feudal town. Moreover, Zhai Tan also said that they are aiming at Wu Zhuangyuan. Come.
Hearing someone calling everyone to eat, everyone followed to Youwuwei's canteen. The food for soldiers was really not good, but this was breakfast, so it couldn't be any better. Sour celery, rice Porridge and steamed buns, this was the food for breakfast. Qin Xuan was not very hungry, so he ordered a bowl of rice porridge, and squatted under the wall with Zhai Tan to eat.
