Chapter 156: Recruiting Troops
After Chen Fuchen and the others left, Situ Chenfeng walked up to Ling Xia and asked with a puzzled expression: "General, the last general has something to understand, since the general knows that these people are corrupt officials, why do you still use these people?"
After killing these corrupt officials to set an example, wouldn't it be better for the general to lead his own troops to raid those black-hearted traders who hoarded Juqi, confiscate the ill-gotten gains earned by those people, and finally select a few shrewd and capable officials to serve? ”
"Alas......" sighed, Ling Xia said in a deep voice: "I can't help it, Chen Fuchen They have been officials here for many years, and their power is huge and deep-rooted, with them, they can appease the military hearts of those government officials below."
It would have been a pleasure if I had stabbed them all, but where would I go to find ten shrewd and capable civil servants to be governors here? Assuming I do find people to work here, how can I make sure that those people are not greedy for money?
Liu Xian and these people are all well-fed ducks, they are already greedy at the moment, and they don't dare to be greedy, but if they send another batch of underfed ducks, those people will definitely be corrupt again, and it will be the people who will suffer at that time.
Chen Fuchen and their previous disaster relief performance was extremely effective, and in the later stage, each of them made up 5 million jade coins for disaster relief, no matter how the money came from, these people can make it up, it means that they still have the ability.
These greedy officials will surely wake up when they are frightened by me today, and if they come to their senses in the future, I will give them a chance, and if those people are still obsessed and do not regret, then I will send them on their way. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Xia seemed to remember something, looked left and right, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, why haven't I seen Quqin poems recently?" I haven't seen her since she came to the territory with the division, where is this girl? ”
"Hmm...... This ......" squeaked, and Situ Chenfeng whispered to Ling Xia: "Miss Qu was assigned by the princess to a hundred-person canteen of the division, and the princess may have been jealous when she saw that the general was walking closer to Miss Qu.
Therefore, when the division just came to the territory to report, the princess secretly went to the division while the horses were busy with disaster relief, and demoted Miss Qu to the canteen to cook. ”
"What? Shiqin was relegated to the cafeteria to cook? Ling Xia was stunned, and then, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and without saying a word, he walked out of the yamen of the governor's mansion and came to the division garrison next door, and he angrily kicked open the door of the camp.
At this moment, Jiang Hailiu, Mu Guying, Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo, He Youzhen, Lu Yi'an, Pei Nanpo, Luo Laoda, the shopkeeper, Lao Cui and others were discussing the layout of the defensive formation, and when they saw Ling Xia's angry appearance, everyone was stunned: "Why is the general so angry?" ”
"What about Quqin poems? Where's my chief guard? Why can't I find my chief guard after this rendezvous? Ling Xia questioned everyone in public.
"This ......" Hearing this question, Jiang Hailiu and the others looked up at Situ Chenfeng behind Ling Xia, feeling everyone's gaze, Situ Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders innocently, seeing him like this, everyone immediately understood, and everyone didn't dare to squeak.
……
In a team of 100 people in the Battle Flag Division, the soldiers were having lunch at the moment, the secretary was cooking from the front, and Qu Qinshi was wiping the table with a rag, and several soldiers deliberately spit out their bones to the ground when they were eating, and as soon as they vomited, Qu Qinshi had to take tools to clean them.
But as soon as Qu Qinshi turned to leave, those people began to spit out bones from the ground again, seeing this, Qu Qinshi had to go back to clean again, looking at Qu Qinshi's cleaning, the soldiers sneered: "This beauty was a big red man next to the division commander at the beginning,
Last time I taught a few recruits, and I happened to be seen by this beauty, and guess what? This girl actually relied on the division commander to spoil her, reprimanded Lao Tzu in public, and asked me to apologize to those recruits, which caused Lao Tzu to lose face.
Now that the division commander has gathered many elite and famous generals, she is useless, and she was assigned to us, and she didn't count that she actually came to Lao Tzu's side, you are all optimistic, how did Lao Tzu teach her. ”
While speaking, the man deliberately spilled the vegetable soup in the bowl on the table, and then deliberately beckoned to Qu Qinshi, "Come and wipe it for me, hahaha...... If you don't come, I'll go to the centurion and sue you, saying that you don't work. ”
Ling Xia led Jiang Hailiu's group to the cafeteria where Qu Qinshi was, and as soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw the scene in front of him, looking at Qu Qinshi wearing an apron and holding a rag to work under the ridicule of all the soldiers, Ling Xia's anger could no longer be suppressed.
He casually lifted a chair, walked to the soldier's side, patted the other party's shoulder, and saw the man looking up at him, Ling Xia pointed to Qu Qinshi, and said to the man: "This person is my cover, I am usually reluctant to scold, you dare to humiliate her, Lao Tzu beat you to death, bastard." ”
While speaking, Ling Xia didn't care about his identity as the commander of the division, and smashed the head of the soldier with a chair, directly stunned the man, he didn't expect that Ling Xia, as the head of the dignified division, would run to the cafeteria to fight for a woman who cooked.
"The division commander is angry."
"General, watch out for the impact."
"Don't, don't, watch it."
Seeing that Ling Xia actually beat a soldier in public for Qu Qinshi, Jiang Hailiu and several people hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and dragged Ling Xia outward with a belt, Ling Xia struggled to get rid of everyone, he walked in front of Qu Qinshi, looked at her apologetically, and said softly: "You have been wronged." ”
Qu Qinshi was stunned by all this in front of her, when she was sent to the kitchen by the princess before, she saw that Ling Xia did not appear, she was wronged, complained, and sad, but at this moment, when Ling Xia came to the kitchen to stand up for her, all the grievances in Qu Qinshi's heart disappeared.
Ling Xia grabbed Qu Qinshi's hand, threw the rag in her hand on the ground, and then dragged her out of the cafeteria, Qu Qinshi silently followed behind Ling Xia, tears of excitement flowed from her eyes, Jiang Hailiu and others hurriedly followed from behind, and everyone walked towards the camp tent of the division commander.
Ling Xia: "Why didn't anyone tell about this?" ”
Jiang Hailiu: "The princess ordered it, but she didn't let us tell you." ”
Ling Xia: "Who has the final say in the Battle Flag Division?" ”
Everyone: "......"
After reprimanding Jiang Hailiu and others, settling down Qu Qinshi, Ling Xia went straight to the yamen of the Liulijiang Governor's Mansion in anger, because the road was far away, and when he arrived, it was already the second half of the night, when he angrily kicked open Xia Ning'er's door, ready to severely reprimand her, he was greeted by Xia Ning'er, who was ill at night.
"Brother, brother is here, Ouye, brother has come to see me......" Looking at Xia Ning'er, who was jumping up to welcome him, Ling Xia's full of anger suddenly swallowed back, and showed a stiff smile towards Xia Ning'er, Ling Xia gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and then, under Xia Ning'er's coquettish entanglement, he sat down with a depressed face to tell her a story.
