Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Gu Yunji had just been transferred from the remote southwest, and he knew only too well how difficult it was for the local state capital.In comparison, Shaoxing Prefecture, located in the south of the Yangtze River, is already very good.

It is difficult for civil servants, and it is equally difficult for military officers.There are hundreds of local guards in Daxia, and more than one million troops are stationed. To maintain such a huge army, the military expenditures are unimaginable. If all military expenditures in various places are fully provided, not to mention the national treasury will be emptied, and the imperial court will probably collapse immediately.

Taking a detailed look at the entire Daxia army, except for the capital, which is the important nine-sided town responsible for resisting the Tatars, the situation is better.The rest of the local health offices have their own grievances and difficulties. Qiu Wugang's words are not an exaggeration.

As Qiu Wugang said, Shen Boyi was used to the wealth and prosperity of the capital, and he did make the mistake of "why not eat minced meat". He felt ashamed for a moment and felt a little lack of confidence.

However, when he turned his eyes and saw the disdainful expressions of the soldiers around him, Shen Boyi's anger suddenly spiked again, and he said stiffly: "I blame you for the weapons, and I will apologize to you. But your personal guards did not listen to the command and disobeyed. Military order, what do you have to say?"

"I wanted them to go east, but they wanted to go west. I told them to cooperate with each other and set up the Five Elements Formation, but they said this method was wrong, saying that this was not how they used to fight Japanese pirates. They were lazy and disobedient to discipline. , is this the attitude of your personal guards?"

Qiu Wugang sniffed, then returned to his arrogant look in the blink of an eye, and said casually: "Is there something wrong with this attitude? Isn't what they said right? I, Qiu Wugang, have been a soldier for so many years and fought against Japanese pirates for so many years. Why? Have you ever seen this kind of fighting style? It’s the Five Elements Formation, bullshit!”

Shen Boyi's face was extremely ugly and he was trembling with anger: "...Qiu Wugang, you don't know the subtleties of this Five Elements Formation, and I don't care about you. But no matter what I say, I am still in command. You have been a soldier for so many years, don't you know the most basic skills of a soldier? What is the requirement? It is to obey military orders!"

"Even if I'm wrong, even if I'm terribly wrong, you and your personal guards have to carry out the duties exactly as they are! But what have you done? The personal guards disobeyed military orders, but instead of punishing them, you stood by them. Come and deal with me, is this what you're doing?"

"You disrespect your superiors, disobey military orders, and dare to question my Five Elements Formation. No wonder the Japanese pirates have become more and more rampant in recent years. If the army is full of losers, rice sacks, and useless straw bags like you, it would be strange if the Japanese pirates don't ride on us!"

"What did you say?" Qiu Wugang's face suddenly changed, and then he laughed sarcastically, "I am a fool? Who is the fool? I have been in the army for 23 years, and now I am the commander of the Shaoxing Guard. Although I am not a big official, I am After all, I am on the throne just because of my military merits! My military merits are solid and there is not even a hint of fakeness!"

"Who are you, Shen Boyi? You just took two exams, played around with words, and never fought with the enemy hand-to-hand, blood-splattered. You just relied on your age and qualifications to become a second-level commander." make."

"A straw bag that has never been on the battlefield has the nerve to ride on my old Qiu? Why? I don't accept it!"

Qiu Wugang's eyes were scarlet, and the surging unwillingness and indignation in his eyes forced Shen Boyi to take a step back. He steeled himself to confront: "I am an official of the imperial court, sent by your Majesty. You must obey even if you don't want to!"

Speaking of His Majesty, Shen Boyi's confidence suddenly became full again: "There are many Qiu Wugang like you in Daxia. If you have any objections to my position, you can write to His Majesty to ask for an explanation. You can try it and see if His Majesty protects me. Still towards you!"

Qiu Wugang looked at him steadily, smiled suddenly, and said with a serious look: "The Commander-in-Chief is your Majesty's man. Needless to say, I know that Your Majesty will definitely protect you. Facing a big shot like you, we, the little soldiers and crab generals, will naturally You have to bow your head."

"But Mr. Shen, let me ask you, no matter how strong your backing is, but you don't have real military achievements and abilities, how can you convince the public?" As he spoke, Qiu Wugang smiled half-heartedly and tapped his heart, "People's mouths are easy to talk about. It's not easy to be convinced." When Shen Baiyi heard this, a huge uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart. He looked around blankly. The soldiers around him all had gloomy faces and looked at him with disdain. There were two big characters written all over their faces. : Not convinced.

Shen Boyi's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt two regrets - he was originally here to train the anti-Japanese formation, how did things develop like this?

Gu Yunji, who had been unable to speak, had a headache when he saw this, and felt that this matter was difficult.

He thought there was some minor friction between the two, but he did not expect that such a deep-seated conflict would arise from the very beginning, directly putting Shen Boyi and the local soldiers headed by Qiu Wugang on opposite sides.

Judging from the anti-Japanese formation alone, Gu Yunji knew that Shen Baiyi was by no means an incompetent idiot, but his ability lay more in theory, and it was indeed a major flaw in actual combat.Qiu Wugang's words were not groundless. Shen Boyi had never been on the battlefield to kill an enemy since he became an official in the military examination. His military achievements were not as good as those of Qiu Wugang's small soldiers.

Military men are generally not highly educated and simple-minded. It is actually very easy to convince them. It is nothing more than showing their true abilities, leading by example, being considerate to their subordinates...etc.Gu Yunji and Fu Zida, two literati, could win the favor of the people just by helping them build roads with their own hands, let alone other things.

However, Shen Boyi seemed to have come from the opposite side of them.

Without the military merits gained from fighting on the battlefield, he "airborne" from the capital to take up the position of commander of the city. His every move has a sense of alienation unique to a nobleman. His words are the Five Elements Formation, which is contrary to the soldiers' inherent understanding of resisting Japanese aggression. Of course they were not convinced.

However, Shen Boyi seems to be gentle, but in fact he is upright and must do what he sets his sights on. He insists on getting into a confrontation with Qiu Wugang, who has a bad temper and a tough temper. If he doesn't have the ability to please someone in the officialdom, he may not be careless.

Gu Yunji was a civil servant. One of them had the same official rank as him, and the other was much higher than him. It was really difficult for him to interfere.He had no choice but to try his best to stabilize the situation and buy time, while at the same time sending people to find his senior brother Mei Feng to come back.

As the governor, Mei Feng had the position to judge the two of them. However, after hearing the whole story, he also felt that it was difficult. The most he could do was to make peace with it and get over it.

After all, Qiu Wugang was guilty of the following crimes, and it would be impossible not to punish him. Punishing him too severely would aggravate the soldiers' dissatisfaction with Shen Boyi.In the end, Mei Feng fined him half a year's salary, gave him a symbolic beating with a military stick, and let the matter go.

The matter was over, but the crux was still there. After this incident, the soldiers became more and more unconvinced with Shen Boyi and opposed him overtly and covertly.Before Commander Shen's anti-Japanese formation was fully put into practice, he was bruised and bruised by his own envoy's stumbling block.

Unexpectedly, Shen Baiyi was dedicated to resisting the Japanese. The more difficult things were, the more he had to do. He forced the implementation of the Five Elements Formation despite the pressure from all parties. There were many conflicts in it, offending many people, and criticism arose everywhere.
