"certainly."
Luo Wenpeng nodded. "My father highly praised him. If it hadn't been for his strong recommendation, I would not have recommended him as the magistrate of Qinghe County."
"Yu Gong, I won't say anything. Yu Zi, Qinghe County is my hometown, and of course I don't want to see my hometown fall into the hands of Zhu Dachang and his ilk again."
Fang Shiqing lowered his head and said nothing.
My husband liked Kong Fang because he could write "Journey to the West" and regarded him as a talented man. The man she likes must be a man who can stabilize the country when he is on horseback, and can govern the country and bring peace to the world when he is dismounted.
He... is still a little far away from his ideal... right?
Fang Shiqing's heart was confused again.
"Bang...bang..."
There was a sound of gongs coming from far away, and a group of common people, led by several squires and celebrities, were walking towards them.
They opened the way with a gong, followed closely by the respected squire, and then two villagers carried a plaque with the words "Heroes of Suppressing Bandits".
The font is elegant, strong and powerful.
Several young people followed behind the plaque with heavy burdens on their shoulders. The last ones were all kinds of people, men, women, old and young, all of them beaming with joy, as if they were visiting relatives during the New Year.
"What are they doing?" Fang Shiqing was confused.
"They should be here to express condolences to us." Luo Wenpeng took a look, and then asked the captain of the soldiers to wake up the county soldiers and soldiers who were still resting, and asked them to line up to welcome them.
They climbed up to the city wall and retreated, with Du Xinwu leading the squire at the front. In front of him, the county soldiers lined up to welcome them, and he felt a little dazed. Although he could name all these people, several of them looked familiar to him.
They were either common people, traffickers, or even street gangsters. He always felt that the so-called county soldiers were just a joke and they were nothing more than minions of the new county who oppressed the people.
So when they came to collect tung oil and spirits yesterday, he not only refused to cooperate, but also made harsh remarks.
After all, I was wrong. I saw that they were lined up neatly, their expressions were solemn, and they even had a chilling air about them.
They are clearly the masters of tiger and wolf!
The patron saint of Qinghe County!
"Mr. Du, welcome, welcome." Although Luo Wenpeng had been away in the army for more than ten years, he was from Changqinghe County, where he was born, and he recognized Du Xinwu who was leading the team at a glance.
"Mr. Sheng, Mr. Shen, Mr. Wu... Mr. Zhu..." He greeted them one by one.
They also responded one by one. In front of Bingba, they did not dare to act condescending. Luo Wenpeng introduced them to Fang Shiqing.
Du Xinwu learned that the woman in front of him was the captain of the county army and the wife of the county magistrate. He was impressed by her beauty and heroic appearance, and all kinds of rainbow farts almost made Fang Shiqing lost.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Luo Wenpeng and Fang Shiqing joined hands to receive the plaque, and breakfast was received by the logistics classes of each team and then distributed to the county soldiers.
Before distributing breakfast, Fang Shiqing shouted:
"All of you, stand at attention and salute!"
Upon hearing the order, the county soldier immediately withdrew his eyes from staring at the breakfast. Despite his hungry stomach, he placed his heels together and his toes outward in a figure 8. He raised his right hand with his palm facing down and his fingertips close to the top of his brow bone.
The army of the Daxing Dynasty did not have this set of etiquette, but Kong Fang imposed it by borrowing from the army etiquette of his previous life.
At first, Fang Shiqing scoffed, but later when she saw the county soldiers holding swords and spears in their left hands and saluting with their right hands, and in neat formation, with an indescribable solemnity and even domineering look, she took it seriously.
Du Xinwu and the others seemed to be moved by the atmosphere, and the corners of their eyes shone brightly.
"The ceremony is over!"
"Take a break, dismiss."
Fang Shiqing gave the order again. After hearing the order, the county soldiers accepted the gift, reached out to take the breakfast distributed by the logistics soldiers, and sat down on the spot, with uniform movements.
Be civilized and courteous, strictly disciplined, and follow orders and prohibitions!
Du Xinwu and the others were shocked again, and the last trace of contempt for the county soldiers disappeared from their hearts.
Zhu Xinfei suddenly knelt in front of Fang Shiqing: "Captain Fang, yesterday your department requisitioned tung oil and spirits to suppress bandits. I, Zhu Xinfei, was so ignorant that I almost missed the important task of suppressing bandits because I was so ignorant that I almost missed the important task of suppressing bandits. I deserve the blame." Ten thousand deaths.”
"Now I feel extremely remorseful. I would like to donate five thousand taels of silver and five hundred dans of grain to comfort the county soldiers and atone for my sins!"
Fang Shiqing was shocked by Zhu Xinfei, and other old men had already followed suit, vying to donate money and food. She looked at the old man who could be her grandfather kneeling in front of her, and she felt like crying.
She had never experienced this scene before.
The county soldiers also forgot to eat, and stared blankly at the group of old men who usually had their nostrils turned upward, but now they were kneeling with their knees bent.
Luo Wenpeng reminded Fang Shiqing quietly, and then the two of them helped the old men up together.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Zhu, in fact, we only do military training and fighting on weekdays. You can ask our county magistrate or deputy captain for these matters." Fang Shiqing quickly regained his clarity and decisively passed the blame.
Unexpectedly, Du Xinwu slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, actually we just arrived at the county government office first. Unexpectedly, Mr. Kong said that the county magistrate had been working hard all night and had already fallen asleep and it was inconvenient to disturb him."
"Then we found Deputy Captain Fang. She said that the meritorious officials were still guarding the city last night. She hoped that we would bring breakfast to the soldiers guarding the city. As for other matters, we can discuss them with you two."
Fang Shiqing gritted his teeth quietly when he heard this.
"As cunning as a fox! She is indeed my sister."
They all knew that Kong Fang had set military regulations when the county soldiers were first established. The county soldiers were not allowed to take any needles from the common people, and those who violated the rules would be punished with three military sticks. Three Army Sticks For a sergeant, physical pain is nothing.
But it’s embarrassing.
Fang Shiqing dared to accept the breakfast they sent. First, the county soldiers had been hungry for half the night, and the food at the county government had not been prepared yet; second, she did not want to eat for free, she would pay according to the price.
But they are sending money and food!
Can't she hlop?
Does she dare to accept it?
Kong Fang, that bastard, had just won a battle. What if he drifted away and military law had to be enforced? What would she do?
be punished?
Humph, do you still want this lady’s face?
Not accepting punishment?
She is the one who leads the troops, so of course she knows that military law is ruthless and does not tolerate disobedience.
Kong Yiji and Fang Shiyi, why don't you wake up that pig head and ask him what should be done?
Humph, you can pass the blame, but can’t I?
"Mr. Du, when the county soldiers were first established, the county magistrate set the military regulations. Our county soldiers are not allowed to take advantage of the common people. Violators will be punished by military law."
"You can't eat the meals you give for free. You have to pay according to the price. How can I dare to accept such a big gift?"
"Otherwise, you should find an adult, right?"
"What kind of military regulations is this? I have lived for more than seventy years and have never heard of it." Du Xinwu didn't believe it.
"Captain Fang, please don't lie to me. Although our words were more fierce and disrespectful to you all before, but..."
Fang Shiqing hurriedly explained, "No, no, Mr. Du, listen to me. None of us have ever blamed you. On the contrary, we are very grateful that you came to express condolences."
"But military regulations do exist. If you don't believe me, just ask them."
