Chapter 226 Appointment and Removal
Everyone quickly evacuated, and when they walked out of the alley and onto the street, they met two captains Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi who had arrived late with forty or fifty anti-corner troops. When they learned that the fire had been extinguished, Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi arrived.
Instead of being grateful, Wu Dazhi was very unhappy.
"Li Dalong, what are you trying to do? We are on duty during the day, why are you bringing your people here to interfere? Do you think you are capable? You are the only one in the entire Fangyu Army Yamen who can put out fires? We can't do it?" Chen Mazi scolded
road.
Li Dalong said coldly: "Waiting for you to come? The fire has long burned down other people's houses. This alley is very dangerous. You two did not fulfill your duties and instead blamed us for helping. What a joke."
"Bah, are there any rules? Are you not following the rules? Are you taking our jobs? Who cares about your help? I am hoping to get some water outside. If you do this, will we drink from the northwest wind?" Wu Dazhi shouted.
Lei Hu stepped forward and scolded: "Are you still not human? Are you okay with extorting money from people who have lost their money? Be careful of thunder and God will punish you."
"Hey, you are a bitch, you are here to teach me a lesson? Why do I want you to make irresponsible remarks about what I do? Li Dalong, Lei Hu, we will report this matter to Mr. Xia today, and you will suffer the consequences." Chen Mazi shouted loudly.
road.
"There is no need to report to Mr. Xia. I will handle this matter." Fang Zian shouted loudly and walked forward quickly.
Fang Zian followed the team and led the horse. Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi did not see him. They were shocked when they saw him. Yesterday, they all went to the Yamen to have a drink. Naturally, they knew Fang Zian. They did not expect that Fang Zian actually
Everyone here is a little surprised.
"Fang...Master Fang, why are you here?" Chen Mazi stammered.
Fang Zian said coldly: "If I weren't here, how could I have seen what happened today? How could I have seen with my own eyes the shamelessness and ignorance of some people. This is the street, so it's not convenient to talk. Let's all go back to the station. I have something important to announce.
."
Fang Zian said coldly, mounted his horse and galloped towards the station inside Qiantang Gate. Li Dalong and Lei Hu followed closely with their men. Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi were helpless when they saw this, so they had to wave and lead their men back to the station. But the two of them
They both felt that something was not good, so they discussed it in a low voice and immediately sent a subordinate to the Yamen to report the news to Xia Liangdong.
Soon after, more than 100 soldiers from all four submersible teams stationed in Qiantang Gate lined up on the training field. Fang Zian stood at the front of the team with a cold face and his hands behind his back, looking at this group of soldiers who were not disciplined and careless.
Frowning.
"Everyone, I am Bo Fang Zian, the new commander of the Fangyu Army. Let me get to know you first. Look at my appearance clearly, because soon some of you will hate my face. Stand up straight.
"Fang Zian said in a deep voice.
It was almost noon, and after a lot of hard work, it was time to eat, but they didn't eat lunch. All the soldiers were hungry and growling. But Master Fang wanted to give a lecture here. Many soldiers were used to being lax, so there was no need to think.
Listening to his words, many people complained in low voices and did not take Fang Zian's words seriously.
Fang Zian shouted sternly: "Stand up, stand up straight."
This sharp shout startled everyone, but it also aroused the rebellious psychology of several of them. They deliberately twisted their hands and feet to disobey Fang Zian's instructions. Fang Zian stepped forward quickly and grabbed two people out one by one.
He raised his feet and kicked them to the ground, and used the riding crop in his hand to slap the two of them shamelessly. The two soldiers were crying and yelling with their heads in their hands. Fang Zian whipped them more than a dozen times, leaving bruises on their heads and faces.
"The state has national laws, and every family has family rules. The Fangyu Army is the imperial army. You are all soldiers in the army, so you must abide by the disciplines in the army and the rules of the yamen. If you don't abide by the rules, you will be punished.
You will be punished. Did you two turn a deaf ear to Shangguan's words? Did you ignore me? I will teach you to understand the consequences of doing so. Stand up, and from now on, run a hundred laps around this training ground. Li Dalong
, ask two brothers to follow behind with whips to supervise, and if they dare to be lazy, they will be whipped." Fang Zian said sternly.
Li Dalong promised loudly and assigned two men to come out. The two guys who were beaten with bruises and swollen faces hesitated for a moment, and Fang Zian's whip came down again. The two had no choice but to get up and start running around the training ground with their heads in their hands.
stand up.
As a result, the attitude of the other casual soldiers immediately became serious. They did not expect that Mr. Fang would attack without any warning. These people suffered a disadvantage because they did not go to the Yamen yesterday to witness the scene at that time, so they did not know anything about the new situation.
What kind of behavior did Mr. Fang come here? Anyone who knows what happened yesterday would never dare to be presumptuous.
"Soldiers must look like soldiers. Look at some of you. You have deer heads and rat eyes and are disheveled. It's really worrying to rely on your thoroughness to protect the people of Lin'an. I came here to inspect today and saw a lot that I can't stand.
When the fire broke out in Huaishu Lane just now, when the gongs on the tower were shouting, I would like to ask the two team members who were supposed to be on duty to put out the fire quickly, what were you doing at that time? Why did it take so long to put out the fire?
?" Fang Zian looked at Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi.
Chen Mazi said: "Report to Mr. Fang, we are making preparations. We have to make some preparations before putting out the fire. Otherwise, how can we blow the fire with our mouths?"
"Exactly, Mr. Fang is new here. I'm afraid he doesn't know the rules for putting out fires. Otherwise, not only will the fire not be put out, but there will also be casualties. He will be held responsible." Wu Dazhi also sneered.
Fang Zian nodded and said: "It turns out that the two of you were preparing diligently, but it seems that you misunderstood you. However, I personally witnessed Li Dalong's hidden fire team from getting up to preparing the fire-extinguishing tools and setting off.
It took a cup of tea. However, the two team members did not set off until they finished putting out the fire. The preparation time was too long. I would like to ask, does the preparation package before putting out the fire include two bets first?
To refresh myself? Or should I take a nap first to recuperate my energy?”
"..." Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi didn't know how to answer for a moment. It seemed that Mr. Fang knew that they were gambling at that time.
"The duty of our anti-war army is to put out fires quickly. It should be noted that fire and water have no mercy. Once a fire breaks out, it must be put out quickly, otherwise it may cause a catastrophe. This is the meaning of the existence of our anti-corner army. But you are late,
By the time you arrive, the fire will probably be out of control. To be honest, my impression is that you two don't seem to be trying to put out the fire, but you seem to want it to burn even brighter, right?" Fang Zian said coldly.
shouted.
"Sir Fang, it's wrong for you to say that. We just arrived late, how could you accuse us of such a crime? How could we hope that the fire would burn more intensely? We cannot afford your words.
"Wu Dazhi shouted loudly.
Fang Zian sneered: "Then please explain, why Captain Li was able to set off within a cup of tea, but you two were wasting away for more than half an hour?"
Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi were speechless, not knowing how to answer.
Fang Zian said: "We are also Captains of the Submersible Fire Team. The people under your command are similar to those under Captain Li, and it seems that your people are more capable. Why is there such a big difference? You have to say preparation
If it is sufficient, Captain Li and his brothers did not go empty-handed. I was at the scene when the fire was put out. There were about twenty of them and it took less than a stick of incense to put out the fire. How to explain this?
Woolen cloth?"
Chen Mazi frowned and said, "Master Fang's
It means that Captain Wu and I are incompetent. He, Li Dalong, is more competent and better than us, so it must be settled."
Fang Zian looked at Wu Dazhi and said, "What did you say?"
Wu Dazhi said angrily: "Li Dalong is great, but we are incompetent. Are you satisfied?"
Fang Zian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, very good. Everyone has heard it. This is what they themselves said that they are incompetent, and I did not say it. Since the two of them said that they are incompetent, they will lead people to put out the fire.
This kind of thing is no joke, it must be done by competent people. In view of this, I announce that Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi will no longer serve as captains of the first and second submersible teams of Qiantangmen from now on, effective immediately."
"Ouch!" Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi opened their mouths in shock. At this moment, they suddenly realized that they seemed to have been trapped. Their angry words were actually used by Fang Zian as a reason for dismissal.
"Master Fang, our team was personally appointed by Master Xia. Did you withdraw immediately if you said you wanted to? That's not possible." Chen Mazi shouted.
Fang Zian frowned and said: "You two admit that you are incompetent, how can you be captains of the team? This captaincy is not a formal official position. It is just a small leader appointed by yourself within the Fangyu Army. Do you think this matter has to be dealt with by the court?
I have issued an edict, but the official document cannot be completed? Mr. Xia appointed you because he thought you could lead the team to perform your duties. However, you are incompetent. It is only natural that you should be removed. There is no need to make a fuss. I will just say hello to Mr. Xia later.
.Don't be nagging, you two are just ordinary soldiers from now on."
"You! Fang, you are deliberately causing trouble!" Wu Dazhi said angrily.
Fang Zian stared at him angrily and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Fang Zian reached out and held the riding crop on his waist. Chen Mazi hurriedly pulled Wu Dazhi and whispered: "A good man will not suffer the loss of the moment. We will wait until Lord Xia comes."
Wu Dazhi had no choice but to shut up and glared at Fang Zian fiercely. Fang Zian ignored him and said loudly to the commotion of the soldiers: "Everyone, the first and second submersible teams are being dismissed from their posts until a suitable candidate is found.
, the two teams are temporarily led by Li Dalong, the captain of the third submarine team. Leihu assists Li Dalong in leading the team. Do you have any opinions?"
The soldiers who dared to object not only saw that Mr. Fang was a ruthless character who spoke the truth, but also because they already understood that the arrival of Mr. Fang had caused a stir in the Fangyu Army Yamen, and it was no longer the same situation as before.
.Maybe things are going to change here.
"Who agrees? Who opposes?" Fang Zian asked several times, but everyone was silent. Fang Zian smiled with satisfaction.
"Li Dalong, Lei Hu, you two, please listen to me. Restrain your subordinates, do fire-fighting training at ordinary times, strictly follow the discipline, and do not be lax. If there is any violation of the discipline again, I will question you. I understand.
?”
Li Dalong and Lei Hu stepped forward with joyful faces, cupped their hands and said loudly: "As you are told, I will do my best, and I will never betray the trust of the adults."
Fang Zian nodded and said: "Very good. I witnessed the whole process of fighting the fire today. All the third submersible fire team did their best, which is admirable. I will personally reward you with a sumptuous lunch out of my own pocket. I will order someone to buy it later.
"
"good!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The two dozen fire-fighting soldiers were beaming with joy and cheered loudly to express their thanks. The others were envious.
"Why is everything so lively? I'm here to join in the fun." A cold voice came from far away. Everyone turned around and saw Xia Liangdong walking quickly towards the entrance with seven or eight followers.
