Chapter 60: The Barbarian Woman
Lu Ning returned to the mansion, but saw that the mansion was not affected by the barbarian attack, and the Gan family and You Wuniang were busy in the study, dealing with the first batch of official documents that Donghai had just sent.
Lu Ning didn't bother the two of them.
Just when he felt that he should also work hard and look for some official documents, Da Mi Tao came to report that Wang Jingxuan was beating drums outside the state government to complain.
The drum at the mouth of the Yatang in Jinzhou was supposed to tell the time, and the time of the upper and lower ya, Lu Ning yesterday, just ordered the guards to post a notice, the people have major grievances, they can come to the yatang to beat the drum, and all the grievances of the drumming will be tried by him, the assassin.
However, Lu Ning is not an invention or creation, the former Tang Dynasty was outside the gates of the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, and there were Dengwen drums, the so-called "stretching the injustice of the world, reaching the feelings of 10,000 people".
At noon, he just told Wang Jingxuan to ask him to hand over his resignation, and he didn't go to the city tower to watch a small battle, so he ran to beat the drum and voice his grievances? This efficiency is really fast enough.
It seems that this guy is in a hurry.
Lu Ning was about to go to the front hall, when Xiao Mitao hurriedly ran in, "Master, the big Taibao sent good news, captured the barbarian chieftain, and was escorted by the fourth Taibao!" ”
The big Taibao is Lu Ping, the chief of the guard, and the fourth Taibao is Lu Qing, the master of cavalry and shooting.
Nowadays, the word Taibao does not have the meaning of the honorific title of servants, and it is Lu Ning's invention and creation, after all, the thirteen lords are all surnamed Lu, and if outsiders do not call them together with their names, it is easy to be confused, with their names, and a little disrespectful, it is because Lu Ning ordered the guards to call them Taibao, and they were arranged in order, and this title gradually spread.
Caught one of the leaders of the barbarians? Lu Ning was immediately overjoyed, "Bring the hall!" Tell Wang Jingxuan to wait, and take his complaint to me to see! ”
The big and small peaches hurriedly obeyed the order.
……
Lu Ning sat in the main hall but was stunned, and there were more than a dozen officials standing below, who were all hiding from him, but they all came today.
There is Benzhou Shangzuo, don't drive Zheng Dongsheng, Changshi Cui Zhuo, Sima Wang Linji.
Don't drive a position, now all countries have gradually been abolished, that is, Changshi and Sima, and gradually have replaced official positions, but because the Southern Tang Dynasty recognizes itself as the Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty, many official positions still retain their original flavor.
But basically, the top of the state officials, the second, third and fourth high-ranking officials, if the assassin is relatively strong, they are all paid empty salaries.
The subordinate adjutant of the state is the one who really does things.
The main thing is that the Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Judicial, Si Bing, Si Tian and other Cao Cao led by the record of joining the army joined the army, directly obeying orders and assassinating history, and managing all kinds of affairs large and small in the state.
Today, the officers of the Records Staff Yuan and Liu Cao joined the army are also here, instead of the old man Zhang Dingnan, who only joined the army as a soldier.
In addition, because Longxi County is attached to the state, Longxi County ordered Liu Ding to also stand at the end of the officials, his rank is not the lowest, but the order must stand last.
"Donghai Gong, I heard that there is a rebellion?" Don't drive Zheng Dongsheng as the highest-ranking adjutant official, the old man asked with a little horror on his face, although he heard Zhang Dingnan say that the chaos has been calmed down, but Zhang Dingnan also listened to what Donghai Gong said, and the old man wanted to confirm it.
Lu Ning smiled, "Yes, I also arrested a barbarian chieftain." ”
As Lu Ning spoke, he also looked at the faces of these people and observed their micro-expressions.
Although most of these officials seem to be worried, Sima Wang Linxuan, as well as Si Cang, Justice, Si Hu, and Si Tian joined the army, and they are obviously suspected of fraud, that is, maybe the barbarians are attacking today, and they got the information in advance.
These are the hardcore cronies of the former assassin Shi Liu, of course, the premise is that what he expected is right, the barbarian is really recruited by the Liu's brothers.
"And caught the chieftain?" Zheng Beijia was even more stunned, then understood, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it's just a barbarian fight, right?" ”
I think there are few brutes, but they are fighting with each other bravely.
Zhang Dingnan's lips moved, but he finally didn't speak, but he went outside the city to see, and more than 200 corpses were left behind, and nearly 100 people were injured and captured.
In the mountains and forests, the barbarians have always been extremely strong, and they are quick to defeat when they encounter a strong enemy, and they can escape even faster, this kind of rout is usually left by thousands of barbarians, but listen to the chief of the Donghai Gong's pro-army guard, the barbarians should be thousands, that can only be said that the Donghai Gong's pro-army, the offensive is too strong and the lethality is terrifying, and it is true that there are even cavalry archery, specifically harassing and pursuing deserters, no wonder the killing and injury is amazing, because the enemy army will also be slaughtered by cavalry after the rout.
However, Shangguan replied to each other, and he was not easy to interject.
Zheng Dongsheng said that it was a barbarian fight, and the rest of the officials also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces were relaxed, and they looked at each other, but don't drive Wang Linxuan and a few people who joined the army, and they all had doubts in their eyes.
Lu Ning didn't bother to pay attention to them, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Lu Qing led a few guards, and dragged a barbarian woman with a lot of flowers to enter, this barbarian woman had a dark complexion, her body was full of mud and blood, but she was wearing homespun clothes, but it was worn badly, and it was almost like a strip of cloth, and the whole person seemed to be naked, but the mud and blood stains on her body became a protective layer, covering most of her skin.
Obviously, Lu Qing and the others dragged her into the city on horseback and with ropes.
Zheng Dongsheng and other officials turned their eyes away, and Zheng Dongsheng stomped his feet again and again, "What kind of system is it?!" What kind of system?!" He arched his hand and said: "Donghai Gong! It's a brutal fight with each other, why treat a woman like this?! And call her the chief! Donghai Gong's tooth soldiers, I'm afraid that someone wants to risk military exploits! Donghai Gong, Qingyuan Army, it is a felony to take the lead of the army! King Jinjiang's eyes are like torches, but he can't deceive him! ”
This old man is obviously not a close friend of the Liujia brothers, after all, the barbarians are coming, and he didn't know about it in advance, but he obviously has great respect for the King of Jinjiang.
Lu Qing bowed and said: "Lord, there is a barbarian confession, this woman's name is Mi Zhu, and she is the wife of Nong Bayin, the leader of Longruman!" Long Ruman has lived in Yongzhou for generations, and the puppet Han lord migrated his tribe to the junction of Chaozhou and my Zhangzhou, originally to resist my heavenly soldiers, I don't know why I came to attack, and the barbarians only said that they obeyed Mizhu, and they didn't know the inside story. ”
"Nonsense! It's inexplicable......" Zheng Dongsheng was furious, he already looked down on the generals, and was refuted by Lu Qing's interjection, and he was even more annoyed, "Use this woman to be the leader of the barbarian tribe?" ……”
"Phew!"
Zheng Dongsheng only felt that his face was wet, and he touched it with his hands, but it was a mouthful of thick phlegm, which made his disgusting overnight meal seem to be rolling in his stomach, and he immediately wanted to vomit, only to find out that it was the barbarian woman who was bound to the ground who spit on him, and he was bound to the ground, and he was covered with injuries, and the thick phlegm could spit on his face, which shows how fierce the barbarian woman was in the past.
"Old thing, the old lady is Mizhu!" The barbarian woman's face was full of arrogance, and after she finished speaking bluntly, she muttered a bunch of barbarian words, looking at her expression, it must be your luck, otherwise the old lady will chop all of you soft-footed crabs into eight pieces and other words.
Zheng Dongsheng was stunned, his face was full of innocent ......, and grievances gradually turned into grief and indignation.
His face turned white, not to mention the officials on the same front as him, even Lu Qing scratched his head vigorously and was embarrassed for him.
This barbarian woman is really indiscriminate, good and bad, Zheng Lao Don't drive to help her speak, but she felt insulted, a mouthful of thick phlegm came down, and she scolded her head and face.
Don't drive, what kind of mood is it now? ……
Lu Ning coughed, "If you have a slight injury, choose two people with sharp legs and feet, help him deal with his wounds and make him turn around, and tell the husband of Mizhu to use ......" Lu Ning paused, still feeling that the rules were inexpensive, "Ransom with 30,000 gold!" ”
Nowadays, in terms of standard terms, one gold is 10,000 yuan, that is, ten guan, 30,000 gold, and 300,000 guan.
The officials of Zhangzhou in the field were dumbfounded, this Donghai Gong was too ruthless, right?
Barbarians, the whole clan doesn't have so much money to sell into slaves?
Lu Qing was accustomed to it and bowed down to receive the order.
Lu Ning waved his hand: "Take her down, why did you attack Zhangzhou, torture me out, but don't hurt her life!" After thinking about it, "Don't insult her!" ”
Although the current world is extremely cruel, let alone prisoners of war, this bottom line must be guarded by oneself, and in the end, it cannot be assimilated by this world.
Although Mi Zhu is a thick and fat man, it doesn't matter what kind of posture he seems to have when he humiliates the prisoners of war.
Lu Qing Rinzun, making gestures, led the guards to drag the rice beads down.
Zheng Dongsheng saw this Donghai Gong style for the first time, and immediately felt like a fish in his throat, and he wanted to say a lot of things.
For example, what kind of system did the two strangely dressed twin maids who stood next to the desk desk in the East China Sea on the left and the right being called the pawn secretary?
For another example, when Donghai Gong saw him, he called himself Lao Zheng, and he was shocked by himself, what kind of inexplicable style is this? You are of high rank, what if you are a feudal country? This is not in your territory, so how can you do whatever you want?!
But now, the old man silently wiped the thick phlegm on his face with a handkerchief, and he didn't want to say a word.
A look of grief and indignation!
"Donghai Gong, are they really barbarians from the Han Realm? How many people came? Cui Zhuo was a little surprised.
"About a thousand."
The Zhangzhou officials present were all stunned.
Even Sima Wang Lin Ji and several soldiers who might have known that this kind of thing would happen also showed surprised looks, never expecting that there would be so many barbarians attacking and plundering.
"Yes, it was the pro-army of the Duke of Donghai who repelled the barbarians?" Cui Zhuo's question was obviously everyone's question, and everyone's ears were pricked up.
"It should be!" Lu Ning smiled and said, "Guan Yuan, Du Baoku, Chen Taixing, Liu Ding, the three of you stay, there is a case to be considered with you." ”
The official originally joined the army for the record, Du Baoku joined the army for the judiciary, Chen Taixing joined the army for the household, and Liu Ding was the commander of Longxi County.
Zheng Dongsheng walked out first, thinking about it, he had long wanted to leave this sad place......
The rest of the people lost the dragon head of Zheng Dongsheng and the gun in front of them, and they all hurriedly bowed down and retreated.
