    Yongkang's West Street is the barracks for the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and is affiliated with the Yongkang Institute.  Zhao Baihu is the highest commander here. He is usually responsible for the city defense of Yongkang, but he doesn¡¯t have much to do.  It¡¯s nothing more than walking around the city wall twice at night, supervising the transportation of baggage in October every year. In addition, I usually go home to do some farm work and help my family with some housework.  Entering, Zhao Baihu was lying lazily on the deck chair inside the city gate, disheveled and drowsy.  The sun in the sky was still very fierce, and the two big soldiers guarding the city gate had smoke coming out of their throats. They were dozing off against the city wall with red tassel guns in their hands.  On the city wall, seven or eight veterans patrolled around the city wall. One of them returned to the city gate and threw his soap armor to the ground impatiently. He quickly lifted up his collar and wanted to cool off.  piece.  Walking at the front was a fat manager. He said impatiently: "It's too hot. You should keep an eye on it here. Someone came from above today and they caught you. I'll go down and cool down."  " After that, he shouldered his saber and headed towards the city wall with a look of reluctance.  The remaining brothers were liberated, so they quickly took off their belts and hid in the shade.  It was also noon at this moment, so a veteran quickly untied his wine gourd and took two sips.  Then he wiped the wine stains on his beard and muttered: "In this hot day, Mr. Qi is a real person. He insists on letting us take precautions. Do you think there will be robbers in this broad daylight?"  "Come?" "Old man Wang, didn't Boss Qi just say that someone from above was coming, and you were caught drinking?" At this time, a young man said with a smile.  When Old Man Wang heard the same thing, he hurriedly hid the wine gourd and said, "Hey. It's not like who came and alerted Zhao Baihu." "Isn't that right? All the adults from Qianhu came down in person yesterday. I think this time  Something big is going to happen." Another young student said.  When Old Man Wang heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Don't be so blind and look like you have never seen the world. What big thing can happen in a place like Yongkang that's as big as your hand? In my opinion, maybe it's the commander.  I had a fight with my wife again and came down to take it out on us.¡± Suddenly, everyone around burst into laughter.  At this time, they heard their commander-in-chief say from the city tower: "Master Baihu, it's almost noon, let's go. Find a place to have a drink?" Zhao Baihu saw that it was noon too, and thought to himself, it was probably ten or so.  You Bajiu wouldn't come at this time, so he stood up and said, "Well, I heard that a new chef came to a restaurant on your East Street. Why don't you go there and give it a try?" "Okay. I'll listen to you. But this time  You have to pay for it." "It depends on your future. How much do you have? Don't treat me to a drink. Go back and let your wife take care of you." Let's talk.  One after another left.  When the officers and soldiers on the city wall saw that they were far away, they all breathed a sigh of relief.  Old man Wang took out a pack of lotus leaves from his arms. After opening it, there were two cold steamed buns inside.  He picked it up and took a bite and said: "It's better to be an official. Look at other people's lives, and then look at us. Hey." "You should stop nagging. If you have the ability, would you like to become an official?" One  The young man smiled disdainfully.  Old man Wang said disdainfully: "That's because I don't want to be. If I want to be a flag general, I don't think it's a big problem." "Just brag." Everyone said at once.  Old man Wang is not annoyed either, he is getting older now.  He couldn't think of anything else, so he sneered: "What do you know? I really don't deserve it. Do you think being a flag always relies on your military exploits to become prominent? In these peaceful years, military exploits are nothing. It's just to see who can curry favor with others."  If I put down this figure, I will go out and flatter people. It¡¯s just like flattering you and letting others become an official. When we give gifts during the New Year.  I'm here in a hurry. I'm just giving you this gift. If you dare not give me a gift, I'll give you some shoes in less than two days." "Yes.  Ah, but our flag general is also a shrewd person. After becoming the flag general, he often moved around with the county magistrate. Didn't he build a wasteland in the east? I set up a brewing workshop, and I heard that he made a lot of money in a year.  At the very least, the people from the yamen didn't dare to ask for money, and the local gangsters didn't want to mess with him. Recently, a drug store opened in the south of the city, and I heard that life is much easier now than before.  ." Old man Wang laughed.  ?Then I saw a recruit with pickles in his purse, ?He went over and broke off a piece. Everyone was sitting on the city wall, eating happily, when they faintly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.  Old man Wang was old and alert. He quickly got up and took a look, and saw a flag waving in the distance. There were about a hundred fast horses, raising dust all over the sky, rushing towards Yongkang.  "No, there's something wrong." Old Man Wang didn't dare to eat, so he hurriedly wrapped the steamed buns in lotus leaves, kicked them into his arms, and shouted loudly: "Quickly, close the city gate. Maybe it's a robber." City Wall  The soldiers on top immediately became busy, going down the city wall and closing the city gate, rushing around. Finally, when the cavalry rushed over, the city gate was closed.  When the cavalry arrived at the gate, Old Man Wang was dumbfounded.  They have very few cavalry here. Even if Qianhusuo has more than ten war horses, it is not easy.  After all, most of the cavalry are in the north, ready to go to war with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty at any time. There are usually cavalry of this size in the south, but they are rare.  "Who are you? Tell me your name, otherwise I will be rude." Old Man Wang shouted.  At this time, a man came out from among the cavalry, pointed at Old Man Wang on the city wall and said angrily: "I don't even know you, Mr. Wang? Why don't you close the city gate? You are going to rebel!" Old Man Wang saw it and said, "Come on!"  It was none other than the military commander. He immediately shivered with fright and hurriedly shouted: "Open the city gate quickly." The military commander was their highest officer and was rarely seen. In previous years, military rations were collected at the end of August.  When the time comes, he will appear. Now that he is staring at the scorching sun, he has arrived in Yongkang. Old Man Wang hurriedly said: "Go to the adults quickly and say that someone important is coming." At this time, something even more shocking to Old Man Wang  happened.  In his eyes, Commander Wu was the greatest official he had ever seen.  However, at this time, he actually saw Commander Wu get off his horse and lead the horse for another person.  The man was wearing armor and a helmet and it was difficult to identify him, but the horse he was riding was a purebred Southern Xinjiang horse. It was all white and had no hair on it. It was worth a lot at first glance.  A person who can ride such a war horse must be of high rank. Unfortunately, he is illiterate, so he asked curiously: "Xiao Wang, look at what is written on his flag?" Xiao Wang muttered: "Capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces"  The commander-in-chief was commanding Zhang Dafu. "Old man Wang couldn't help but said in surprise: "My dear, something big has happened!"
