Chapter 177: Captain Horseman
Wang Ning sat on the trough, and no one spoke to him. The stables are relatively remote in the barracks, and there are very few soldiers here. What's more, this place itself is only a temporary military camp for the Wusheng Army.
Wu Shengjun was transferred from Sichuan and Shu, and the first task he received was to clean up Jiangning, and the army commander made Du Cong receive the imperial decree, and there was a big purge in Jiangning these days.
In order to facilitate the office, he set up several tents under the south gate and personally supervised them. In fact, the position of Jiangning prefect is still vacant at the moment, and it is not surprising that the imperial court will appoint Du Cong as the prefect of Jiangning in a few days. Although the new dynasty has very strict control over the army, at this very time, it may also be in a hurry to obey power, so it is very likely that Du Cong will concurrently serve as the commander of the Wusheng army after serving as the prefect. This is the first time since the founding of the new dynasty, and it is also known what is hidden behind it, and Chung To's residence in the post house has been about to be stepped on the threshold in the past few days. Then he moved directly to the barracks.
Du Cong is over forty years old, born in a professional class, a second-class jinshi in the tenth year of Tianyuan, and now it is the first year of Shenwu, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he can serve as the commander of the Wusheng Army, which shows that his ability to lead troops is good. Moreover, the civil officials who held great power were happy to regard people like him as their own, and compared with those martial artists who came out of the gate, the military attachés served by the literati could better meet the wishes of all the scholars, and he was also a Confucian general with both civil and military skills, so he could be described as smooth sailing in these years.
Since Fan Gong was seriously ill and asked him to be the commander of the Wu Sheng Army, he has really been doing it with his heart, inheriting Fan Gong's means of strengthening the army, pulling the Wu Sheng Army out of the form and becoming one of the few teams that can be used in the new dynasty.
He has a good reputation in the army, and even if the civilian system can be eaten, his career will naturally be bright.
Du Cong has his own thoughts about the recent changes in the imperial court, as far as he is concerned, he does not want to get involved in the affairs of the south, or although he is a serious Jinshi background, sometimes he is still a little unaccustomed to the scholars and doctors in the imperial court, but the imperial court has issued an order, and he can only order the troops to be deployed.
From another point of view, Wu Shengjun was originally the best in the border army, but now it has become a local second-rate military branch in an instant. This is a heavy blow to the morale of the Wusheng army, not to mention the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, nephrite is warm and fragrant, and it is not suitable for the garrison.
Having experienced the baptism of life and death in the borderlands, Chung To is well aware of the influence of the environment on an army, which is also very important. Taking a step back, he had to go to Jiangning to perform his duties, but he was unwilling to bring Wu Shengjun with him in his heart.
Even if he knew that under the general trend of the implementation of the new law of the imperial court, the army was needed to deal with what might happen.
This night, Du Cong stayed in his military tent and talked to his subordinates about some things in the future, and then called someone to invite Liu Shifang, the former commander of the Jiangning Navy Division.
He called the drunken Liu Shifang in his big tent.
Chung Du raised his eyebrows, very angry in his heart.
The first section of the Shui Shi Battalion was left to temporarily incorporate his Wusheng Army, which means that in the future, everyone will have to beg for food under one roof, and Liu Shifang's level is only a small Du Yuhou, and it is not necessary for him to approach it personally, but he has probably sent someone to understand the Jiangning army before he came, which has some influence on Liu Shifang.
And also estimated to see the last face.
Liu Shifang is in a bad mood, it should be said that he has been in a bad mood since the day he knew that the Sailor Battalion was dismantled. Hearing some gossip again, his mood was even worse, so he was also perfunctory about the newly arrived Shangguan, but he was still a little curious about the Shangguan who was going to see him today.
As a soldier, he naturally hopes to kill the enemy for the country, gallop on the battlefield, and make meritorious contributions. But for the Southern Army like them, it is almost impossible to participate in the war, and some small fights and bandits on weekdays are like an adult bullying a child, which is not interesting.
Although the previous Jiangpu people rioted and their water division battalion was the main force, after all, there were few people, and it was not he who really came out of the limelight in the end.
Thinking of this, he became more and more envious of Wu Tianqi.
I heard that after moving to Hangzhou, they will train a strong naval army to go to sea to suppress bandits.
Thinking of this, Liu Shifang's mood naturally couldn't get better.
"I've seen the general." Liu Shifang stood crookedly under the hall, stammering when he spoke.
Du Cong walked over to this side, just glanced at him, and his face sank: "Come on, drag Liu Shifang down, scold a hundred canes, and be the head of the horse from today on."
At that moment, a guard walked in quickly and held Liu Shifang, Liu Shifang did not resist and let the other party do it.
A moment later a crisp sound sounded in the night, and the slapping was loud.
After a while, the guards walked in again and looked at Du Cong suspiciously: "General, what is the position of this horse groom?" Please also instruct me to arrange my duties only if I am lowly in my position. ”
Du Cong was stunned for a moment, and put down the military book in his hand: "He raises horses."
"Yes." The guards clenched their fists and bowed out.
It didn't take long for Wang Ning to see Liu Shifang again, this person was beaten, and he didn't seem to feel anything, Wang Ning still had some prediction about this kind of injury, and the pawn who was guarding next to him went to get hot water and helped Liu Shifang deal with it briefly.
The news of Liu Shifang's beating spread quickly, and after a while, his original subordinates came over in twos and threes, and a few bearded people were angry when they saw that Liu Shifang was beaten and his flesh and blood were blurred but thrown into such a place.
shouted that he wanted to go to Chung To settle accounts, but he was also stopped by others.
Liu Shifang woke up slowly, his eyes were confused: "You still want to mix this job, then settle down."
Liu Shifang grinned and looked at his original subordinates, the current superiors, and then pulled his lips and smiled: "I'm fine."
"Why are you doing this? An Fat Man just counted a few words from you, why bother talking back to him, this provoked the Du Demon King, how can you have a good life in the future? ”
Liu Shifang raised his head and looked at the person who spoke, and said lightly: "Is Lao Tzu idle?" He turned his head to look at Wang Ning, who was helping to deal with the wound, and scolded: "Damn, if you give Lao Tzu a light, you will die."
He said this with peace of mind, completely forgetting that he did not know the person in front of him.
After several people next to him looked at it, when they heard this, they thought that the two of them knew each other, but they didn't care.
Liu Shifang scolded, maybe it was the pain just now that made him sober up, he looked at these colleagues in front of him, and smiled: "Isn't the groom very good?"
"What's good, horse breeder." The big man who spoke earlier spat and pointed to the horse of the magical species next to him who was curiously looking at the magical species that was vying for territory with him, "In the future, you will feed it." ”
