Chapter 8: Remediation of the City Defense Army
While he was talking, the housekeeper of the Duke of Wei came in to report.
"Dude, news just came from the palace: the emperor appointed Qu Chu as the chief instructor of the Dayu Kingdom to be responsible for the training of various troops. She was ordered to report to the city defense army tomorrow."
Duke Wei started to ponder.
"Father-in-law, do you think we should oppose Qu Churen, the chief coach?"
"No," said Duke Wei: "After Qu Chu goes to the city defense force tomorrow, you must be polite to her and give her full responsibility for rectification and training. You can avoid it during this period."
"Why?"
Chang Wei didn't understand very well.
The Duke of Wei asked angrily: "Do you have the ability to rectify the city defense force?"
Chang Weijun immediately shook his head.
Even if he has the ability, he will not offend others.
"Since you are not capable of rectifying, then leave it to others, so as not to let the emperor take action against you."
"Father-in-law", Chang Weijun asked: "Do you think General Qu really has the ability to rectify the city defense force?"
The Duke of Wei pondered for a moment:
"It's hard to say. Although the soldiers brought by Qu Chu are good, the relationship between the city defense forces is complicated, and if the attack is light, it will be useless. If the attack is heavy, it will offend half of the nobles in Yudu.
But maybe.
Qu Chu and the nobles in Yudu have no intersection. If she is not afraid of offending others and makes a cruel remediation, it will still be effective.
But no matter what the result is, it is harmless to us, and we don’t need to interfere in this matter.”
Chang Weijun said again: "If General Qu rectifies the city defense army, will His Majesty hand over the city defense army to her?"
Duke Wei looked at Chang Weijun with a grudge:
"At that time, we urged a few families who were offended by Qu Chu to submit a memorial, saying that Qu Chu was a woman and could not stay in the military camp."
Chang Weijun understood, he would burn the bridge when crossing the river!
The Duke of Wei was talking to himself again: "But I saw that the emperor had no idea of handing over the city defense army to her, but just wanted to use her power."
Chang Wei didn't understand, but he didn't ask tactfully.
...
General's Mansion
Qu Bingyu hurried to the main hall.
"Achu, I heard that the emperor issued an imperial edict to reorganize the city defense force?"
Qu Chu looked up, "Aren't you cured your illness yet? Why did you get up?"
Qu Bingyu insisted on asking again: "Did the emperor issue an imperial edict to reorganize the city defense force?"
Qu Chu nodded and handed the imperial edict in his hand to Qu Bingyu.
Qu Bingyu took it and said angrily: "How can the emperor do this? Isn't the King of Chu talking for you?"
In his previous life, Achu's identity as a woman has not been exposed, so he did not remove the general's position. He did not compete with the city defense force, nor did he rectify the city defense force.
At this time in his previous life, Achu married himself in Yudu and then brought his army back to the border.
Although Achu died on the battlefield later and his fate was very difficult, it happened a few years later.
Now that I am reborn, I am thinking about changing the tragic fate of my previous life, but why is it different from my previous life?
...
"Achu, do you really want to go to the city defense force tomorrow?"
"Yes," Qu Chu's tone was a little light, "It's hard to violate the emperor's order."
"However, most of the people in the city defense army are children of nobles. If you want to rectify them, you will offend many people."
"It's okay, I have no other relatives except you. I think they won't find you trouble. If they really do this, I don't mind killing a few people."
Qu Chu's tone was indifferent.
If someone else heard Qu Chu's words, he would feel strange: Why are you only Qu Bingyu, a relative? Are Mrs. Qu and the three children in the Qu family not your relatives?
But Qu Bingyu didn't feel anything wrong when she heard this.
"You don't have to worry about me. I don't have to go out anyway, and I can't find a chance to take revenge.
It’s just as the saying goes: ‘It’s easy to hide from the open gun, but it’s hard to defend against the hidden arrows’, so be careful yourself.”
Qu Chu felt a little guilty when he heard Qu Bingyu talk about this.
"You got sick after you came to Yudu. I haven't taken you to visit Yudu yet. I'll take you out when you get better."
Qu Bingyu said: "What are you good at visiting with Yu? As long as you can be with Achu, you can go anywhere."
A few years before I married in Yudu in my previous life, because Achu was still a general, my husband and family were not bad to me. I would go shopping whenever I wanted to go out, and I would go out whenever I wanted to go out. I was so familiar with Yudu.
But later...
Qu Chu sighed in his heart: It seems that Bingyu still doesn't want to get married.
However, I am afraid I will stay in Yudu for the next few years, so I will not be in a hurry to get married, so I will slowly find a good friend for her.
...
The next day, Qu Chu came to the outside of the city defense army early. With her, Wu Dagang, He Dabao and more than 20 soldiers were also there.
When Qu Chu arrived, Chang Weijun was already waiting in the military camp.
Qu Chu showed Chang Weijun the imperial edict, but Chang Weijun did not refuse at all, and politely recommended Qu Chu into the military camp.
Qu Chu made a call to gather.
According to the military order, after the trumpet sounded, a cup of tea would be gathered at the school ground.
But after the time for a cup of tea, only more than 2,000 people arrived at the school.
Qu Chuling stood aside these two thousand people.
Qu Chu waited for another cup of tea, and three thousand people came one after another.
Qu Chu has read the roster. The city defense army has more than 25,000 people. In addition to the people stationed at the four city gates at this time, there should be 10,000 people in the camp.
But at this time, only more than 5,000 people were present, and more than 4,000 people were present?
Qu Chu glanced at Chang Weijun.
Chang Weijun whispered: "There are many noble children in the city defense army. They rarely come to the military camp and do not take duty."
It means to just hang a name and get military pay for nothing.
Qu Chu said coldly without saying anything.
He Dabao took a step forward and read out the emperor's imperial edict.
After He Dabao read out the imperial edict, Qu Chu said:
"According to the military orders, each person who is late will be fined twenty military sticks. I remember that on the first day of my arrival today, each person who is late will be fined five military sticks, and those who are not here will be fined twenty military sticks.
After you go down, you inform those who have not come. If you still cannot gather tomorrow, you will be expelled from the military and will no longer be the people in the city defense army."
After saying that, Qu Chu signaled He Dabao to bring people to order a good list and record the people who did not come one by one.
Then the late ones were punished today.
There were some people who wanted to resist, but when they looked up, they saw Qu Chu with a cold face like a cold-faced king of hell, and the people who were following her were full of murderous intent, so they couldn't help but become timid.
Just five armies sticks! Anyway, you can't beat people.
If the Cold-faced King of Hell is serious about giving a twenty military stick, his butt will really bloom.
...
On the first day, Qu Chu just gathered to call the name and did not train. However, on the first day she arrived at the military camp, she quickly sent the news that she fined 3,000 people.
Chapter completed!
