Chapter 419: School Quarrel
Here, Shen Baiyi had just finished discussing the matter of the anti-Japanese formation with Gu Yunji, and he couldn't wait to go to the school field to find a few soldiers to practice.
Gu Yunji could only smile helplessly at this: I didn't expect Shen Baiyi to look steady, and he actually had a heart that didn't match his age, and he was full of vigorous energy, which was rare.
However, the next day, the commander of the city gave Gu Yunji a "surprise" - he quarreled with the soldiers on the school grounds.
Gu Yunji, who heard this, had a headache, and while hurrying to the school field, he asked Fu Zida, who was delivering the news, in the midst of the chaos: "Even if an official acts, it can't completely avoid friction, it's normal to have a small conflict and quarrel, as for having to find me?" Besides, I'm a civil official! What do you do with the military attaché?"
Since the last sneak attack by the Japanese invaders, Fu Zida learned from the pain and made up his mind to learn how to ride a horse, so as not to be taken by Gu Yunji again and vomit out all his internal organs.
After more than half a month of hard work, Fu Zida's riding skills have been effective, and he has been able to barely keep up with Gu Yunji's speed, but he is still a little unstable. He hurriedly clenched the reins to stabilize the lower plate, and at the same time had to divide his mind to answer Gu Yunji's question, and said with a bitter face:
「…… said it was a quarrel, but in my opinion, if it weren't for Lord Shen's identity as the commander, the soldiers would have to fight with him! It's not easy for us to meddle in the affairs of the military attaché, but the governor is out on a mission, and he is not there, Lord Gu, you are the person who speaks to the yamen, how to say that it is also something that happened in Shaoxing Mansion, so we have to take a look, right?"
"What's more, Lord Shen and General Qiu had a fierce quarrel, and it was not easy for anyone to persuade them, until someone said that they would invite you Lord Gu over for comment, and they agreed, you can't do it if you don't go."
Gu Yunji was speechless for a while: "What's the use of inviting me over? One of them is the same rank as me, the other is much older than me, I am a civil official, and I can't afford to provoke any of them, so why do I have to do it!"
Complaining is complaining, Gu Yunji kept moving, and galloped towards the school field on horseback.
As soon as the two arrived at the school grounds, they saw the crowd inside noisily gathered in one place, and there was a faint sound of quarreling.
Shen Baiyi lived up to Gu Yunji's impression of his "Confucian general", even though his face was redder than the official uniform on his body, he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, even if he quarreled, he stood up straight, his feet did not move for half a minute, only stretched out a finger and pointed at Qiu Wugang tremblingly, his chest rose and fell violently:
「…… Qiu Wugang, I am the commander of the capital, and I am your superior! You dare to be so rude to me, do you still have the court in your eyes!"
Qiu Wugang looked like a bastard with a dead face, one foot on the stool, the hem of his clothes was raised and put on his knees, his hips were facing forward, his demeanor was vulgar, and every strand of hair on his body was telling his contempt for the "Confucian general" Shangguan in front of him.
Hearing Shen Baiyi's questioning, Qiu Wugang sneered lightly with disdain, and his voice was as shaky as ever: "Shangguan? I, Qiu Wugang, have been a soldier for half my life, and I have never seen a sergeant under my command like this! As far as your behavior is concerned, don't say that you are the commander of the all, even if the governor is here, Lao Tzu will scold him!"
Shen Baiyi choked on his chest in one breath, almost pouting, he tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and his voice was heavy: "Qiu Wugang, you are so arrogant and arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will hand an impeachment excerpt to the Son of Heaven and remove your military position?!"
Qiu Wugang seemed to have heard something terrible, and screamed angrily, his expression was extremely inadequate: "Ouch - the commander is so powerful, you are a person sent by His Majesty, from the capital, we soldiers who rolled out of the mud can't afford to provoke you."
"You're going to step down from my military duties, what can I do? I can only accept my fate! It's a pity, it doesn't matter if our Shaoxing Wei is missing my Lao Qiu and a big man who doesn't know how to be polite, if the whole of Zhejiang is an embroidered pillow like yours, which is useless, then the people will be unlucky!"
"You!"
Qiu Wugang's cultural level is not high, and he can read a few big characters, so he will not be blind. But his kung fu in his mouth is not at all inferior to a civil official who dances and writes, and he will do it in three or two sentences
Shen Baiyi was half angry.
Before Shen Baiyi arrived, Mei Feng specially instructed him that there was a general named Qiu Wugang in Shaoxingwei, whose temper was notoriously smelly and hard, but if he annoyed him, no matter who was on the other side, he would not give a good face on the spot.
It's just that he has great achievements in battle, his ability is really outstanding, and he is a rare general, if it weren't for his temper that offended many people, he would have been promoted a long time ago. Mei Feng told Shen Baiyi that if he had a conflict with Qiu Wugang, he would endure it if he could, and wait for him to come back if there was anything.
Due to Mei Feng's prior notification, Shen Baiyi was already mentally prepared for Qiu Wugang's temper, but he was too annoying!
Shen Baiyi is the commander of the capital, no matter how you say it, it is no problem to send a commander. He endured it again today, but Qiu Wugang felt that he was a bully, pressing step by step, and didn't save him any face.
The most infuriating thing is that almost all the soldiers in the school are on Qiu Wugang's side, openly and secretly helping to ridicule Shen Baiyi, and cooperating to bully him as a newcomer.
Gu Yunji was far away, but he also listened to Qiu Wugang's scolding for seven or eight points, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart for the violent temper of this living ancestor, who could be so arrogant in the face of a senior official who was several levels higher than him. It seems that when he first arrived that day, Qiu Wugang asked for an explanation about the road construction, and he had already reined in a lot.
Gu Yunji was afraid that Qiu Wugang would make Shen Baiyi angry, so he hurriedly stepped into the school field in three steps and two steps, squeezed into the crowd, and separated the two who were arguing fiercely: "What's the matter? Lord Shen, General Qiu, why are you arguing so well?"
After getting along the day before, Shen Baiyi had a good impression of Gu Yunji, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up: "Master Gu?"
Qiu Wugang relied on his great military exploits, his heart was higher than the sky, and his prejudice was almost blurred.
He looks down on almost all civil officials, in the entire Zhejiang, except for the governor Mei Feng, who can win his admiration from the bottom of his heart, and Gu Yunji and Fu Zida, who successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Japanese with a weak body some time ago and corrected his prejudice, can make him show two points of respect.
Seeing Gu Yunji, Qiu Wugang was also in good spirits, and without waiting for Shen Baiyi to speak, he took the lead in pulling the person in front of him, and his gong-like voice shook Gu Yunji's ears: "Lord Gu, you came just in time!" You come and judge us and see who's wrong!"
