Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth confrontation
Long Wuwei, who is ordered to suppress bandits, will naturally try his best to help, asking for food and grass, and men and horses. However, as one of the six guards in northern Xinjiang, you, Long Wuwei, have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Jinling, let alone to encircle Yanyu.
Guests coming in and out of the pavilion!”
Kong Dao, wearing the official robe of the governor, looked at Du Yu across from him with a red face. His voice was hoarse, which was obviously caused by anger and dry mouth.
Du Yu looked at Jinling Governor Kong with an unchanging expression: "Master Governor, don't embarrass me. I followed the commander's order to surround the Misty Pavilion. No one is allowed in or out, that is, no one is allowed in or out!"
Kong Dao clenched his fists tightly and felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the pointing people around him. He didn't expect Du Yu to be so merciless!
"I would like to say it again, Longwuwei is ordered to suppress the bandits and I will naturally try my best to help you. However, what you are surrounding is not the traitors of the White Lotus Sect, but the private shops in Jinling in the south of the Dalong River. The people you ordered not to enter or exit are also not Bailian.
They are traitors, but they are the people of Jinling!"
Du Yu shook his head calmly: "Your Excellency, the military order is like a mountain. I don't want you to lose face because of your humble position. I have always left enough leeway for you. I hope you won't make it difficult for me."
"As the parent officer of Jinling, I have to protect the safety of the people under Jinling. You have imprisoned the people under my rule. I ask you to release them. Is this making things difficult for you? What if you don't release them today?"
Tell them how to repay His Majesty's great trust!"
Du Yu crossed the Shang Fang's horse-killing sword in his hand and said: "The Longwuwei's camp is here. They are not imprisoned in a low-level position, but no one is allowed to enter the camp without an order from the Ministry of War. Otherwise, they can steal the military secrets."
Do it, Shang Fang's horse-killing sword is here. If you dare to break into the camp, don't blame me for your betrayal! If you want me to obey your orders, you can get the tiger talisman seal of Marshal Liu Mingzhi or the handwriting from the Ministry of War. I will give way to you immediately.
!”
"Master Kong, my son is still in Yanyu Pavilion. You don't know whether he is the White Lotus traitor, right?"
"That's right, how could my son join the White Lotus Sect without enjoying his wealth?"
""
A dozen wealthy businessmen from Jinling were chattering to each other in Kong Dao's ears, demanding without exception the release of their precious sons who were imprisoned in the Misty Pavilion with no access.
Kong Dao looked at the anxious expressions of these big taxpayers and had no choice but to do anything, and their endless words made him even more upset.
"Fellow members, please be patient for a moment. I am currently negotiating with them. Can you please see if you can let me finish speaking quietly?"
A dozen wealthy businessmen immediately stood aside and waited without saying a word.
"Young general, I don't ask you to release all the people. I just want you to release the young masters of these Yuanwai families. They are all wealthy businessmen with huge wealth. How can their sons not let go of their good life and join Bailian?"
Have you ever learned how to lick blood with a knife? I can vouch for this, right?"
Du Yu sighed, and his heart softened when he saw Kong Dao's earnest eyes. Naturally, he understood that what Kong Dao said was not false. However, he shuddered when he thought of Young Master Liu's punishment method for disobeying military orders, and his eyes became determined.
"Master Kong, please forgive me. I really cannot let go of my humble position. I dare not disobey the military orders. If I offend you in any way, I will apologize to you later."
As the son of Du Chenghao, the Minister of Civil Service, it was rare for Du Yu to talk to Kong Dao like this.
In the past, it would have been fine for Du Yu to point his finger at Kong Dao's nose and scold him. Who would let me have control over the promotion of state officials in various places in Dalong?
Although you can't go too far on the surface, you can't expect your career to be smooth sailing after just a few tips.
Although he won't be dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, it is impossible to go smoothly, and he is destined to have stumbling blocks.
Kong Dao's face was a little purple, and he looked at the dozen or so wealthy businessmen with strange eyes: "If I insist on bringing someone with me, where can I go?"
Du Yu's eyes narrowed and he gently raised the flag in his hand.
Thousands of dragon warriors immediately formed a formation and were waiting, with swords unsheathed and spears in front, archers bending their bows and setting arrows, and dozens of soldiers with eight oxen crossbows in the middle directly stirred the turntable and placed arrows that shone with cold light!
Kong Dao, a dozen wealthy businessmen, and the people watching the excitement immediately stepped back a dozen steps away, looking at the cold Eight Ox Crossbow in panic.
Although Kong Dao didn't know the power of the Eight Ox Crossbows, there were many bed crossbows placed at the top of Jinling City, but three bed crossbows were only as big as one Eight Ox Crossbow.
Crossbows and arrows are even more incompatible.
Kong Dao swallowed his saliva, and he could tell from Du Yu's eyes that if he really dared to lead his soldiers to force him into Du Yu, he would really dare to order the arrows to be fired.
For a moment, Kong Dao didn't know what to do. It was not wrong to rush in to rescue people. After all, he was the official of Jinling's parents. Du Yu was not wrong either. He had received a command from the commander to guard the place.
Everyone performs his or her duties, and the water in the well does not interfere with the river. However, these wealthy businessmen interfere with it.
However, the wealthy businessmen were not wrong. They just wanted to save their sons from suffering. The wealthy businessmen were afraid that once it was confirmed that Yanyu Pavilion was harboring the White Lotus traitor, and their sons were among them, they would be unable to defend themselves.
Although there is only a small chance, I still dare not try it.
Kong Dao turned around and glanced at the cowering appearance of the two thousand soldiers behind him. Facing the thousand soldiers of the Longwu Guard, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. Many of them even started to sieve.
Seeing this, Kong Dao secretly sighed, no wonder it was true to say that most of Dalong's soldiers were useless.
The morale of a person who is twice as many as the opponent is not as good as one-tenth of his opponent's. This is nothing but waste.
Facing these tunnels, there is nothing to do. Not only Jiangnan, but also the soldiers in Dalong's various prefectures are like this. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are just dawdling.
In addition to suppressing bandits and catching robbers, the officers and soldiers who roam around with swords like the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang usually fight against the Longwu Guards with real swords and guns. I have no doubt that it will only take less than half of them.
The two thousand soldiers belonging to the Governor's Mansion will soon be slaughtered by Long Wuwei.
Equipment is one thing, but morale is more important.
"Bastard, Du Yu, who told you to point the weapon in your hand at Governor Kong!"
Du Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Kong Dao!
Liu Mingzhi shouted, his scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind, and he walked towards Du Yu and Kongdao at a fast pace.
As these days progressed, Liu Dashao's momentum gradually became less and less angry and intimidating.
He had a hint of general-like demeanor, and his every move had an indescribable temperament.
"See the Marshal!"
"See the Marshal!"
"No gift, thank you, Marshal!"
"Du Yu!"
"The humble position is here!"
"How dare you point your weapon at Mr. Kong? What crime do you deserve? When you return to the camp, you will receive thirty military sticks!"
When Du Yu saw Young Master Liu winking at him, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I humbly accept my order!"
"Master Kong is frightened. My subordinate is rude and I will apologize on my behalf. If I give him thirty military sticks, Master Kong will no longer be held responsible. How about that?"
Master Liu's compliment made Kong Dao feel very welcome and he nodded calmly: "Master Liu, the soldiers under your command are really incompetent!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Du Yu with a faint smile: "Master Kong doesn't know something. This is the son of Du Chenghao, the Minister of Civil Affairs. It was because of his extremely naughty temper that Master Du was given to me for training!
"
Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
Minister?
Book?
His face was so erotic that he couldn't help but twitch.
