Chapter 14

After hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, Liang was stunned for a moment.

Bingzhou is a military important military place, with many imperial guards. Among the various numbers of the Xiang army, Zhuangcheng was responsible for repairing the city walls, while the craftsmen of the school were affiliated with workshops such as the Zhouzuoyuan. The Xuan Yong army in Liangdutou was used for combat. Of course, it was common to use the Xiang army as a choreographer in this era, and it was not limited to which number. But in Liangdutou's opinion, craftsmen were people with very low social status, and there was no reason to let themselves take action for them. Now, Du Zhongxiao's intention was to let them do the choreographer work, which surprised him.

Du Zhongxiao ignored Liang Dutou and pointed at Kongmu and said, "I have reported this to the magistrate. Because the cargo yard lacks manpower, I will transfer some wing troops to supplement the manpower. This way, today you will dismiss the officers at all levels back to the army and leave only the soldiers. How to do the work, follow the instructions of the craftsmen."

Qi Kong's eyes crossed his hands and said to Nuo. After hearing this, Liang Du's head couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This is the soldier of the Sa family. If I don't watch here, which one can use it! Since the official said this, I took Bendu's soldiers back. What can you do?"

Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "Who dares to take the soldiers away from the commander-in-chief? If Du Head doesn't listen, I will go to Zhang Dujian in this city. If Du Head insists on the order of Dujian, it will not be difficult."

Liang Du snorted coldly: "Our soldiers, of course, should be subject to military orders. Officials will go and get military orders first, otherwise, I will have the final say here!"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head and felt irritated. Since he wanted to do a fur business in Bingzhou, everything went wrong. From fur merchants to tanning craftsmen in the city, they were against each other. Now even the Xiangjun who was transferred to help, they shouted and refused to listen to the orders.

Forcefully suppressed his anger, Du Zhongxiao pointed at Kongmu and said, "Since that's the case, I have to go to Zhang Dujian. Kongmu, look at this place and don't make any trouble. Time is tight, and I'll tell the craftsmen to delay."

Qi Kongmu sang No, and Du Zhongxiao took Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang and strode away.

Looking at Du Zhongxiao's departure, Liang Du spat: "A man who signs a verdict, but doesn't care about the military, will also slap in his hands. If it makes his grandfather's sexual desire, he will slap his sword, hum, hum——"

Qi Kongmu dared not speak. After eight years of fighting with Dangxiang, the fierce style of soldiers and generals in the border areas was revived, and many unruly people in the army were rebellious. Especially when the war stopped, the military expenditure decreased, and the income of soldiers was much lower than before. Mutiny was not a rare thing.

Seeing that Qi Kongmu did not dare to say anything, Liang Du snorted coldly and still sat down to drink. In recent years, military rebellions have occurred many times, and local governments have been pacifying the garrisons, and Liang Du thou is fearless.

At night, Liang Du called out a few small officers and told them what happened today, which made everyone laugh. There were many senior officials in Bingzhou City, so it would be fine if everyone hid, but one of them dared to say three or four, but who could bear it? The few were drunk and didn't take Du Zhongxiao seriously.

The next morning, Liang Dutou fell asleep in the tent and did not wake up. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dujian brought his personal soldiers to the cargo yard.

Looking at the listless and twisted soldiers in the wing army, Zhang Dujian was angry. Last night, Du Zhongxiao went to find Xia Shu, and Xia Shu immediately summoned Zhang Dujian and asked him to strictly control his soldiers. Moreover, according to Du Zhongxiao's suggestion, all officers were withdrawn and only soldiers were left for service.

After looking at Liang Dutou’s military tent, Zhang Dushen said, “Come on, take that guy out for me!”

The two personal soldiers agreed to the promise and strode to Liangdu's tent, dragged it out, and knocked it down on Zhangdu Supervisor's horse.

Liang Du's head was sleeping soundly, and found that he was being treated like this, and cursed: "Who can kill me? How dare you come to tease my grandfather!"

Zhang Dujian raised the whip in his hand, beat him up, and cursed: "I'll raise you and come to help the yamen do something. I didn't expect that you would be so ignorant that you would make this place chaotic! If you don't peel your skin today, it will be hard to relieve my hatred!"

Liang Du's head held his head, and he saw that Zhang Dujian was coming, and he didn't dare to say a word. Zhang Dujian had fought on the northwest battlefield and made military achievements, but he was not comparable to his own small army. Seeing that his personal soldiers were like wolves and tigers, how could he dare to go against him?

After whipping a few times, Zhang Dujian said, "Take this guy into the prison camp! The team above here will return to our army. The soldiers will stay and follow the instructions of Qi Kongmu. This is the order of the governor of the prefect, and the military law is ruthless!"

After saying that, he asked his personal soldiers to gather all the officers on the scene and bring them back together.

Liang Duhu hugged aside, and saw Zhang Dugui's murderous aura, he did not dare to say anything. According to his previous habits, he did not do anything too much. Dugui should not be so angry. This time he was not aware that Xia Shu was the commander of Shaanxi Road. Zhang Dugui and others were already under his command. Du Zhongxiao was supported by Xia Shu, no more than other officials. Xia Shu commanded the army very harshly and always practiced harsh laws. Not to mention Liang Duhu, even Zhang Dugui himself accidentally provoked Xia Shu and had no place to complain if he was pushed to behead him.

Seeing Zhang Dujian taking his personal soldiers and escorting a group of officers away, Qi Kongmu let out a long sigh. Zhang Dujian didn't even look at his position, but just reposted Xia Shu's words and asked the soldiers to obey Qi Kongmu and left. As for how Qi Kongmu is behind, and what to do if the soldiers are disobedient, it is not Zhang Dujian who is worried about it.

When Zhang Dujian left, Qi Kongmu saw all the craftsmen and soldiers looking at him, and was at a loss. After thinking about it, he had to recruit the craftsmen and according to the number of people, each of them was given several soldiers to fight. He repeatedly reminded him to discuss everything and never have any quarrels or quarrels. Intimidated by Zhang Dujian's power, the soldiers of the wings were timid, and Qi Kongmu would say whatever he said. However, he was still majestic in front, and he became the craftsmen in a blink of an eye. Most people could not turn around and just passively slacking off.

It was not until noon that Du Zhongxiao brought Tao Shiqi and Shisanlang, stood aside and watched for a while, and arrived at Qikongmi's shed.

Qi Kongmu hurriedly stepped forward and chanted the promise, saying that Zhang Dujian arrived in the morning and Liang Dutou was the first to deal with people.

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "Who will blame him for his own death? Kongmu, this yard is something that the prefect cares very much about, and it is impossible to be careless. Ten days later, everything must be prepared. Otherwise, the merchant would sell fur from the north but could not make it, and the matter would be ruined! At that time, Kongmu's fate would be much better than Liangduo!"

Qi Kongmu was so scared that he was shocked and hurriedly bowed: "As the orders of the signing, the small ones will do their duty! - However, the signing judge sees the wing soldiers who stay here, and they will not work hard. They are all military men, and they cannot beat and scold them, and the small ones are powerless."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last night, I reported to my husband that I borrowed some money and grain from the military fund warehouse for your use. You arranged the personnel neatly and divided them into three or six grades according to the amount of effort it is done every day. If you are well prepared, you can eat meat and drink wine. If you are not well prepared, you can only eat. Kongmu, you don't have to beat and scold people, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, can you still control more than one hundred people?"
