"Yang Zhujie, the clerk of the First and Second Division of the 1,000th Headquarters, was arrogant and arrogant during the test. He disobeyed the clear orders of the test governor. He even contradicted the deputy chief clerk in person. According to military regulations, he was given eighty sticks!"
In the clerk's room of the Garrison Department, Wu Dacai and Jiang Guoyong sat on the upper seats together, with nearly twenty people kneeling below. Because the room was not big, seven or eight people knelt outside the door. After the clerk finished reciting loudly, two strong people
The Zhenfu soldiers came to set up the ground
They dragged the poplar knots on their clothes to the lobby outside and started making boards. In the clerical team training that had just ended, 70% of the clerical officers were completely unqualified. In the simplest marching assessment, 60% of them were half dead.
None of them can meet the minimum standards, and the replacement work is in progress. Japan Today
It was the first division's turn, but due to the time constraints of the upcoming expedition, some people were temporarily added. Regardless of whether they were qualified or not, they were all waiting in the hall. Pang Yu took office in Anqing for two years and played a leading role in the competition.
There are many, but I only hit the yamen two or three times. They were all about verifying military resources. This is the first time I hit the clerk like this. In the past, twenty or thirty sticks were considered heavy in the county yamen.
Yes, but today we were beaten according to the military regulations of the garrison camp. Disobeying military orders and contradicting superior officers are both serious crimes. Even if it is not a war, a beating will cost eighty sticks. Everyone in the rooms surrounding the lobby stood outside, most of them watching the fun.
, the dull sound of stick blows echoed in the hall. After Yang Zhujie, who had contradicted Shangguan, received ten sticks, he began to beg for mercy loudly. After twenty sticks, there was a fierce mourning.
Howl. Flesh and blood splattered under the wooden stick. The wail gradually decreased with the increase of the stick strokes, and then completely fell into silence. Yang Zhujie's body shook with the stick strokes. Most of the people watching around the lobby were officials and scribes. There were very few of them.
See
Compared with the military punishment on the field, everyone looked pale, but the board was still ringing according to the mechanical rhythm, with no intention of stopping. The clerical team has always been set up in the yamen, and most of them have read books. Basically, most of them are in
They serve in the army, but other departments treat them as officials. Today, they openly treated them in the Yamen and made everyone feel helpless.
Mental preparation. In the clerical team's direct room, no one of the more than ten clerical officers kneeling dared to raise their head, and some were trembling like chaff. Wu Tac-choi raised his head slightly, looked down at the people on the ground, and followed the rhythm of the board with his fingers on the armrests.
tap lightly,
What are you saying in your mouth?
Jiang Guoyong next to him had no expression. He was in charge of the suppression team, and one of his main jobs was to play with boards. After seeing the miserable scenes, this could no longer stimulate him.
After a while, the sound of the board finally stopped. Just as Jiang Guoyong was about to give instructions to the soldiers in the house, Wu Dacai suddenly said first, "I'm missing two sticks."
Jiang Guoyong looked over in astonishment, and Wu Dacai quickly lowered his head and said, "Whether the lower official counts it himself, or the count of the general subjugation official shall prevail."
The police team had to count the numbers every day, and there was a special counting board for executions. As the chief governor, Jiang Guoyong was not so boring to count these things, and he did not expect that Wu Dacai was counting when he tapped his fingers.
Jiang Guoyong's expression changed, and he hesitated and said, "Since the deputy chief clerk specifically counted the numbers, it should be correct."
He looked up at the deputy at the door and said, "Take up two more boards."
There were two more sounds outside, and the hall was filled with low voices, as if they didn't expect to continue the beating. The deputy came back quickly and whispered a few words to Jiang Guoyong. Jiang Guoyong nodded to indicate that he knew, and turned his head.
Wu Dacai said to Wu Dacai next to him, "Yang Zhujie has been severely punished and should be sent to a medical officer for treatment. I don't know if this clerk Yang can survive."
Family members, please also ask the Deputy Chief Clerk to send someone to inform his family members so that they can be taken care of."
Wu Dacai said indifferently, "Pang Pang said that clerks are soldiers and generals, and all the soldiers in the army have to endure it. Let him take some time, and the subordinates will make arrangements for themselves." Jiang Guoyong frowned, but still
After staring at Wu Dacai for a while, he said, "The execution team also has rules for executions. The cane is used to punish those who pass by as a warning. It is all done in accordance with the rules. As long as it is not a capital crime, after the beating, we will save and raise those who deserve it. There will be no reason to die."
If someone is found guilty, it is the responsibility of the police team, and they must declare it in detail to the big people. Today, Yang Zhujie was hit with eighty sticks. A single mistake will lead to life and death. You must not just leave it on the ground.
The patient can be sent to the Medical Officer first. The Deputy Chief Clerk only needs to inform him of his home address, and I will send someone to inform his family members." Wu Dacai was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation, "In that case, it will be as per Mr. Jiang's wishes.
, the lower official immediately sent someone to inform his family, Xu Youyuan! Ask who knows where the Yang family lives, and send someone to inform him. First, Yang Zhujie
Send it to the medical officer." Jiang Guoyong nodded and turned back to look at the hall. Wu Dacai gestured to the clerk next to him. The clerk changed a document and continued to read loudly, "The 1,000th headquarters, subordinate clerk
Li Yangming, Xu Guozhu, the clerk of the first general department and the first department
…”
When he read a person's name, the person kneeling below trembled slightly, and Wu Tac-choi's toes also trembled. This time the list was very long, and Ng Tak-choi's feet shook more than ten times before the writer finished reading.
"...Tang Juedao, Clerical Officer of the Third Bureau of the First General Office, Second Department, and Third Bureau, the above persons failed to pass the training and examination of the Clerical Corps. We are petitioning the Pangda people for permission to be expelled from the Clerical Corps."
Some of the kneeling people were breathing a sigh of relief, while others were crying in a low voice. Wu Dachai's eyes slowly glanced left and right, observing everyone's condition. After a while, he spoke. "Most of the people present are clerical officers.
An old man in the team, a clerk at the Qianqian headquarters, and more than a thousand soldiers will regard you as a superior officer, but what do you think of yourself, an officer, a general, a clerk or a soldier?" Wu Dacai's voice was so loud that the door to his room was closed.
Regarding the matter, the windows were also wide open, and the sound could be clearly heard outside the lobby. "Clerical officers can read, but they are also soldiers and generals who can read. Soldiers and generals go into battle to kill people. In the test, you can even march with them."
If you don't come, you're waiting for the soldiers to carry a sedan to see you off!" Wu Dacai said, standing up with a handrail, his face a little red, "I can also read, so what's the matter, I didn't kill as many people as in Chema River.
Who knows, you are receiving the monthly salary of a general and receiving the courtesy of a superior. Apart from being able to write a few words, in the end you cannot lift a sword and cannot kill anyone.
Or even after the killings are over, you haven't even arrived at the battlefield, so what use do you have in the army? You think the salary of a big man falls from the sky, and it's easy to drive him out." Wu Dacai didn't even take a crutch, he was lame.
He took a step forward and brought his shoes in front of the people kneeling in the front row. He gasped and gritted his teeth and shouted, "Today's execution is a military law. I just want to tell you that the clerk is a soldier!"
They are the generals of Pang Pang. The military law clearly states that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, which means obeying the generals of Pang Pang. You should listen to what Pang Pang says, otherwise the military discipline is not a decoration. If it is on the battlefield, it will always be
I will chop you down with my own hands, and I won’t leave you with your whole body.” The scribes in the room were kneeling on the ground, and two of them were shaking even more violently. Normally, the clerical team was all scholars, so even if they made mistakes, they would be reprimanded.
The chief officer is not in the same system, so I have to be more polite. I have never seen anyone shouting and killing like this.
.
Jiang Guoyong looked at the ground expressionlessly, and occasionally glanced at Wu Tachai who was diagonally in front of him. Wu Tachai paused for a moment after cursing. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly slowed down and said, "But the great man is benevolent, and he said that the clerk
When I was young, I studied and had less time to work hard. He is willing to give you another chance.
.But you have to do it intentionally. If you want to quit the clerical team, you can leave now, and you will have nothing to do with the garrison from now on."
No one in the room moved. Wu Tachai glanced around and said, "If you all want to stay in the clerical team, please tell me personally."
Still no one moved or spoke. Wu Dacai was not in a hurry. Finally, Li Yangming in front of him said in a trembling voice, "Young man, I want to stay in the clerical team. Please ask the deputy chief clerk for permission to take the test again. I must be serious."
practice."
"Soldiers train seriously like generals and only obey the military orders of Pangda people. The people behind them all say so, next."
"The villain Xu Guozhu also wants to stay in the clerical team, train seriously like a general, and only obey the military orders of Da Da."
"Young man Lu Danchen..." After everyone finished speaking, Wu Dacai nodded with satisfaction, "Pang Daren is specially merciful and can give you another test. He also goes to martial arts for one month to practice. I believe that if you really practice seriously, you will definitely be able to do it."
Is it possible to pass the exam?
It can be relocated when the time comes.”
Everyone in the room shouted, "Thank you, Mr. Pang, for your kindness, and thank you, the Deputy Chief Clerk."
"Then you all report to the martial arts school immediately. What I said is immediate. You are not allowed to return to the camp or go home. Follow the people sent by me and report to the martial arts school immediately. You will take the test in one month."
The clerk on the ground almost rolled over and left the room immediately, hurriedly gathered outside and went to the martial arts school with others.
Wu DaCai turned around in an arrogant manner. When he saw Jiang Guoyong standing up, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jiang, for half a day. It's just that the exam is not over yet, so I have to disturb you sir." "The exam has been done."
It is the duty of the suppressing team, and the deputy chief clerk has also taken the trouble. Taking care of it like this will definitely give the clerk team a new look. Pang Daren said that the suppressing team will also send clerks. When the deputy chief clerk is selected,
Be sure to choose the right one
man of."
"Of course, of course, but Pangda people also said that the governor team will also send governors to the clerical team, and the chief governor will still have to worry about future examinations." Jiang Guoyong didn't say much, and moved towards
Ng Tak Choi handed over his hand and left. Ng Tak Choi walked to the gate with a cane. There were still some people watching in the hall. When Ng Tak Choi looked over, these people looked away one after another and hid in their own homes.
In his own room, Wu Dacai snorted proudly and returned with the support of Xu Youyuan. As soon as he stepped into his own room, he saw a person standing inside, but the other calligraphers were nowhere to be seen.
Wu Dacai paused at the door and nodded to Xu Youyuan. Xu Youyuan let go of his supporting hand and closed the door after Wu Dacai entered the house.
"I've seen General Secretary Hou." Mr. Hou in the room slowly turned around, looked at Wu Dacai's legs, and said with a kind face, "Today, I was informed by the receptionist that I will accompany you to Huguang to suppress bandits.
Before leaving, I also wanted to explain some team affairs to Da Cai.
"
"Chief Clerk, just go ahead. There are people in the team who are here to take care of things."
Mr. Hou coughed dryly and said, "This clerical team would be fine on a normal day, but it just so happens that Fang Qi is replaced, so I still have something to say."
Wu Dacai did not speak this time, but just looked at Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou paused for a moment and said, "The replacement matter has been entrusted to you by Pangda. It's none of my business, but it's not easy to summon these clerks, and it's difficult to read and write."
It is these people who are willing to join the army, and they also recruited some from the capture of Susong.
Scholars and students have just been assigned to all ministries, departments and bureaus, and now we have to send people to each room and team. If we do it as we do today, we will have no choice but to replace them."
"Pang Daren said that it is better to lack than to overdo it. The lower officials will listen to Pang Pang."
"What Da Cai has said many times is that I don't listen to Master Pang. I don't know why."
"Whether the chief clerk should listen to the great master, you should ask yourself. The lower officials only know that they should listen to the sitting officials."
Mr. Hou snorted and laughed, "In that case, I am the chief clerk, you are the deputy, and I am your sitting officer, so you can listen to me."
Wu DaCai tilted his head and looked at Mr. Hou, "The only sitting officer in my heart is Pang Pang. I don't know who the sitting officer in the chief clerk's heart is." "Pang Pang is the sitting officer for me, but Pang Pang is the sitting officer."
Who is it? Should you listen to what the sitting official said?" Mr. Hou looked at Wu Dacai, "Since you listen to Master Pang, then have you heard what Mr. Pang said about Yin and Yang?
Argument?"
Wu Dacai was stunned for a moment and then said warily, "I haven't heard of it." "The garrison camp is the military force of the imperial court. It is the ancestral system of our dynasty to use civil society to control military affairs. The huge people have to obey the orders of civil officials. If you insist on contradicting the officials,
Shangguan, not only did you not fare well in the end, but you also made Pangda people jealous and neglected by Shangguan.
In the end, the official is not happy either, and you are the one who is guilty. The way to behave is to look after the good of the superior, but not to offend the superior's superior. This not only protects oneself, but ultimately also takes care of the official." Wu Dacai's eyes rolled.
After a few clicks, "General Clerk's meaning, Yin Yang means listening to both the sitting official and the sitting official's sitting official. One moment listens to this, the other moment listens to that. In this way, Yin and Yang are reconciled, and everyone is satisfied."
.”
"Even if you think so, it's not far off."
"Then I would like to ask the chief scribe, since the yin and yang have been harmonized, why did Pangda create a new deputy chief scribe and let me be the one?"
Mr. Hou obviously did not expect Wu Da Accounting to ask such a question, and was speechless for a moment.
Wu Tac-choi took half a step forward, "Then it must be that Pangda people don't think that yin and yang are harmonious, and something is always missing. I finally understand that the clerical team has too much yin and lacks yang, and I, Ng Tak-choi, am here to do yang."
"Mr. Hou's face turned red. After a while, he snorted suddenly, opened the door and walked out.
