Chapter 359: Conflict
At this time, it is not late, and it is an official post here, whether it is facing or lighting, it is very prominent, even if it is separated by a distance of five or six zhang, the group can still see the line of the people on it clearly.
Gu Yanzhang stood at the stairs, wearing just an ordinary cloth shirt, and there was nothing special about his dress, but he had a lot of experience in the past few years, and he was also very powerful in Ganzhou, and the momentum on his body was already different from the past, so that even if he only looked at it at first glance, he knew that he was not small.
The general shuddered in his heart and turned his head to look at Yicheng.
The other party hugged his legs, sat on the ground and hissed and inhaled, pretending not to see anything.
Although he is just a lowly position that does not enter the stream, every day "only closes the back house, opens the vestibule, welcomes officials and picks up guests, and welcomes and sends off carriages and horses", but no matter how he says it, he is also an official, that is, no matter how high the official position is, no matter how arrogant the official comes, he will not be kicked and beaten as a brute.
This post man was very sharp-eyed, and when he saw that he had a reasonable head and could control that cadre of ruffians, he hung up his face.
can't be provoked, and he can't be messed with with the ruffians, but it doesn't prevent him from pretending to be stupid.
In the official post, it is very normal for high-ranking officials to come and go, in order to facilitate the journey, it is also extremely common for those who do not wear official uniforms, and the general can't judge Gu Yanzhang's identity, so he has to shout to a few of his subordinates first: "Don't hurry up and help clean up the tables and chairs!" A little bit of how much is damaged, and the next month will be deducted from your salary! ”
After a few more lessons, he strode forward, stood at the bottom of the stairs and saluted Gu Yanzhang: "I am called Wang Miyuan under the name, but he is the deputy commander of the Guangxin Army's guards and pro-army infantry divisions, and it is unfavorable to discipline his subordinates, and he disturbed the official post for no reason, but called Brother Tai to see a joke." ”
The Guangxin army is the Xiang army, Yang Kui counterattacked the Beiban on the same day, and transferred the Zhenrong, Baoan, Guangxin and other armies, compared with the first two armies, the Guangxin army that came later, whether it is the strength or discipline, it is much worse.
Thinking of the words of the little soldiers just now, Gu Yanzhang's heart suddenly understood.
After the battle of Yanzhou, he could not do his full job, and there were frequent disasters in the past few years, and the treasury was empty.
I still remember that the reward given by the imperial court before the battle was pitiful.
There were already a bunch of people who shared the merit before the Yanzhou Formation, but now they have less money, which may not be enough for those bigwigs, not to mention the cronies of Yang Kui, Chen Hao and others to take care of.
If this Wang Miyuan and his entourage are in the Guangxin army, it is expected that they will be swallowed.
Compared with the people next to him, Yang Kui naturally had to find a way to appease his own people first.
If he can't be rewarded according to his merits, who will want to follow him for a long time in the future?
The word fairness is always relative.
If the reward given by the court is enough, according to Yang Kui's actions, he will definitely not do such a thing, but at this time, it is difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and it is also helpless to make this decision in the end.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang also felt a little strange.
General Yang Kui, although the credit is not enough, but if he has the intention to appease the soldiers, it is not that there is no other way, like this, the army is full of complaints, and it is really abnormal that he can no longer control the degree of anger.
However, after all, he has been away from Yanzhou for a long time, and he has not had much contact with Yang Kui, so he doesn't know the inside story for a while, so he can only press this matter first.
For a while, he felt some sympathy for the soldiers of the Guangxin Army.
Selling your life before the battle is also to protect your family and defend the country, but it can be attributed to the truth, who doesn't want to support your family. If they shed blood and sweat, but they can't get the money they deserve, and they are still ridiculed, it's no wonder that they are unhappy.
However, sympathy is sympathy, but it is not a reason for them to make a big fuss.
Gu Yanzhang was very displeased when he saw those soldiers in the post and fighting and brawling, but at this moment, when he saw that this Wang Miyuan was coming, he first restrained his subordinates, apologized on behalf of his subordinates, calmed things down, and managed a few cross-eyed soldiers obediently, and took the initiative to clean up the mess, but also looked at the other party.
He bowed his head slightly, and said: "There are strong men who are angry for a while, and there are also those who only bullied the officials of the imperial court, and then made this place like this, but it can't be easy, just look at what the post officials here think." ”
After a pause, he said: "Wang Du said that he should also control his subordinates, and don't have another accident next time." ”
Wang Miyuan heard Gu Yanzhang's reply, and he was really shocked in his heart.
Looking at the age of the person in front of him, he should only be in his twenties, but looking at his behavior, he has been an official for a long time, and his position is not low. Listening to his tone again, it was a bit condescending, so that he couldn't figure out the identity of the other party for a while.
Thinking of the look and movement of the person in front of him just now, Wang Miyuan was more willing to believe that the person in front of him was not talking big words. He was cautious and reluctant to ask.
Wang Miyuan has been an official for many years, and although his official position is not high, he has seen a lot.
He knew that there were some officials in the court, although they were young, but because of their fathers and ancestors, they had the ability to reach the sky, and they also knew that many newly appointed Jinshi had won the attention of the Son of Heaven, although they were young, they could still do imperial history.
Serving in the Imperial History Observatory, although he usually stares at the courtiers of Zaifu, but if he encounters any injustice halfway, he probably won't be stingy with a copy of the performance, and he will have to walk around without eating.
Thinking of this, he arched his hand, apologized again, and saw that the other party had no intention of talking to him, so he confessed, and went down to stare at his soldiers to clean up the mess without mentioning it.
When the traders and people in the hall saw the trouble, they couldn't hide, and they ran away early, and there was no one left, Gu Yanzhang estimated that he was afraid that he would not be able to clean up for a while, so he simply went back to the room first.
He told Ji Qingling what had just happened, and both of them were a little emotional.
Ji Qingling couldn't help but ask: "It's already like this in the Guangxin army, so what about the rest of the reinforcements?" There is no reward for meritorious service, and the soldiers and generals are uneven, will there be trouble? ”
Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "According to Yang Pingzhang's previous actions, there should be a countermeasure, but I don't know if this is a sporadic matter, or if most of the army is like this, wait until you get the capital, and then ask Mr." ”
Although he had served under Chen Hao, he was very familiar with the security army, and he had some contacts with the Zhenrong army, but after all, he was not the Yang and Chen factions, and since he entered the Beijing scientific expedition, he did not take the initiative to recontact them, which can be regarded as an indirect expression of his attitude, because although he knew that Yang Kui and Chen Hao were in the capital at this time, it was inconvenient to inquire.
The two sat and talked for a while, and then they heard a knock on the door outside, and the post man shouted, "Official, the meal has been prepared." ”
The previous brawl between the two groups of soldiers had smashed many tables and chairs in the hall, and the floor was full of broken dishes and all kinds of dishes.
Rosin opened the way ahead, so she asked the post by the way: "I don't know where the food is arranged?" ”
Na Yicheng was also obedient, and said: "There is also a small hall next to the inner courtyard, the window is open, and the wind is blowing, and there is no strange smell." ”
As he spoke, he led the crowd over.
Sure enough, there are a few pots of newly opened peonies, white or red, fragrant just right, but it shows a bit of elegance, and those windows are wide open, facing the inner courtyard, although there is no view, there is also a sunset afterglow far away in the sky, facing the meal, there is a special taste.
Gu Yanzhang looked at the angle of the sunset, picked a seat for Ji Qingling, pulled the chair away, and said with a smile: "Come here and sit, just to enjoy the scenery." ”
Ji Qingling walked over with a smile, and was about to sit down with his arm, but suddenly heard a "bang", and the door was slammed open.
Two drunken soldiers stumbled in, squinting drunken eyes around the room.
In an instant, Gu Yanzhang subconsciously blocked Ji Qingling behind him.
Except for the two Gu and Ji, there are only two in the house at this time, Qiu Yue and Rosin.
Qiuyue's appearance is ordinary, but Rosin Xiang looks like a handsome little guy, and a drunk soldier only stares at him, smiles, and says, "Where did you ......come from?"
As he spoke, he burped, put his face in front of him, pouted two big mouths, and wanted to make a "Lu" character with him, and said with a big tongue and slurred: "Little brother, follow ...... Belch...... Go back with your grandfather and go back to the dry ...... at night Dry road, keep you to eat...... Drink spicy and wear ...... Kim ......"
Rosin Xiang has never suffered such a shame since he entered the Gu Mansion, he had a cold face, and slapped the left half of the soldier's face with his backhand, and he didn't call anyone, but just kicked the hard riding boots between the opponent's hips.
The soldier was sluggish in drinking, and was kicked firmly, but it took a breath to react, and with a miserable scream of "ah", he slowly lowered his body, covered his crotch with one hand, and pointed to the rosin with the other, and the "you" of "you" for a long time, but he still didn't say a word in pain.
The other soldier who followed next to him was also stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Gu Yanzhang's face full of frost, and the anger between his eyebrows almost turned into a sharp arrow, and he saw that he was sobered up by two points.
He compared Gu Yanzhang's figure, and then looked at his own figure, his head turned twice like a miracle, knowing that he was no beater, he immediately staggered towards the door, and shouted, "Someone!" Come on! The third brother was beaten! ”
It's as if you're the one being bullied.
In the blink of an eye, three or four soldiers rushed in together.
"Who dares to bully our third brother! I'm afraid I'm going to die! ”
At present, one person stepped into the door, first glanced around in a hurry, and saw that everyone inside was dressed normally, and there were no expensive clothes, and there were no soldiers and guards necessary for high-grade officials, so he immediately threw aside the last bit of caution and shouted.
When the soldier who had just been kicked out of his son and grandson saw that his reinforcements were coming, he only trembled his right hand, tremblingly pointed at the rosin and said, "This ...... This little bastard kicked me to death......"
The soldiers who came behind were about to step forward and hold the rosin up.
The one sitting on the ground was in pain and pleasure, and he woke up seven or eight minutes early, and was smiling fiercely as he watched his brothers rush forward, and he was already thinking of how to crush this ignorant little bastard under him at night.
I told you to kick! Wait until you have enough to play at night!
He was still thinking about it, but a voice said coldly from the side.
"What army are you from, and you dare to see no king's law here."
Although the words were a question, there was no meaning of the question, and there was a chill in it, and the soldier couldn't help but shiver when he heard it.
The man was about to rush to Rosin, but when he heard this, he only turned his head and followed the voice.
He saw that although Gu Yanzhang had an unusual temperament, he was dressed in cloth, so he put his heart back in his stomach, and sneered in his heart: Where did you come from.
The man on the ground was already shouting, "Pick him up, take him for me!" ”
While pointing to rosin.
Although he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, he didn't know who was in the room, so it can be seen that this group of people is so arrogant, but they can't sit still anymore, and they are about to step forward with the lead.
was about to walk to the door, but he saw a black shadow falling straight out, and with an "ah" sound, he fell heavily to the ground.
It was the military man who said, "I'm afraid I'm going to die".
And in the room, a handsome-looking little guy stood not far from the door, looked at the man on the ground with a sneer, raised his head again, and said to the other stunned soldiers in the room: "Let's see who is dying!" ”
He asked again, "Didn't you hear my family's officials?" Which army's background dares to be without a king's law here?! ”
