Chapter 77: Locked up first
Looking at Shao Qun who was escorted in, Du Zhongxiao said in a deep voice: "Dutou, we rebuilt the Bitou Village in order to protect the surrounding households from thieves. What is the difference between you and a thief when you rob their cattle and their sheep and fight and kill them? It's just a few sheep, and if you have to eat them, just come to me and report them, and buy them with money. The most difficult thing in the world is the human heart. Why was the village abandoned? Isn't it that the former garrison was inconsiderate of the Tibetan households, so much so that they caused a rebellion, and finally couldn't stay here any longer? We've worked so hard to get here, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Shao Qun sneered: "It's so cold at night, it's very hard for us to stay here, what about eating a few sheep!" These Tibetan people are afraid of power but not virtue, as long as there are soldiers, swords and guns, they are naturally honest! ”
Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "Since ancient times, governing the place has been indispensable to both grace and power. Well, you can't listen to me, and you don't need to discern with me. I am in charge of the military and government, and you are under my control, so you just have to obey the military orders. ”
The intellectuals of the Volcano Army have always been military generals, and they didn't say anything about this kind of thing before, they were used to it, where did Shao Qun serve Du Zhongxiao, a scholar? Standing there looking up at the sky, just sneering. He has nearly 100 cavalry under his command, and he is the main force in this march to the partial head village, and I really don't believe that Du Zhongxiao can do anything with him. Say a few words, Du Zhongxiao can't care about his promotion. The Zhijun can command and transfer the forbidden army under his rule, but he cannot meddle in military affairs, and it has its own three yas and the Privy Council to manage.
Looking at Shao Qun's appearance, Du Zhongxiao was angry, but there was no way to deal with him. If it doesn't please the eye, it can only go to the Department of Economic Strategy and the Privy Council. Now that there is no war, we cannot use our power in a hurry and deal with it directly.
After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao said in a deep voice: "Since Du Tou does not listen to military orders, in order to prevent accidents, then do not command the post department for the time being." Come, please go to the back hall to live alone, so that you can serve! ”
Hearing this, Shao Qun widened his eyes, looked at Du Zhongxiao, and said incredulously: "You want to put me under house arrest and take away my military power?" Okay, I'd like to see which of my soldiers and horses can command! Hmph, when there is a war, don't come to me! ”
"What are your soldiers and horses, those are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!" Du Zhongxiao slapped the case and stood up suddenly. "You set the army to commit murder, rob people's cattle and sheep, mess with military discipline, and have no superiors, don't you rebel? Threaten me? Think I don't dare to do it! ”
Shao Qun sneered, not looking at Du Zhongxiao at all. He really didn't believe that Du Zhongxiao could do him. The official of the capital is not big, but the promotion of the edition is in the hands of the Sanya and the Privy Council, and this matter, Du Zhongxiao reported it, which will only make people laugh off their big teeth.
Du Zhongxiao waved his hand and ordered someone to escort Shao Qun to the back hall, find a room to put him under house arrest first, and then deal with it later. The Volcano Army is a small place, and there is no official who specializes in managing the forbidden army, and Du Zhongxiao is also the garrison supervisor. He is a civilian official, not trusted by the forbidden army, and has been on guard everywhere since he came. Moreover, how Zhizhou manages the army and how the capital supervises the army is a confused account and is not strictly limited. If it is a military general, because you have to lead troops to fight in wartime, you have more control. As a civilian official, he prefers the original intention of the capital eunuch, which is somewhat similar to the prison army.
Because the imperial court did not have explicit regulations, Du Zhongxiao was also confused about this, and how far he could control the forbidden army in the territory. Personnel must not interfere, this is a forbidden area, but do officers and soldiers who violate military law have the right to deal with it directly? It's hard to say. Du Zhongxiao's clear means of managing the forbidden army in the territory was financial power. In addition to the normal money and food, all kinds of rewards, discounts, etc., are the final say of the magistrate.
Thinking a little confused, Du Zhongxiao paced a few steps behind the case, and said to his entourage: "Go and call those families to come over!" ”
When there was a clash with the officers and soldiers who entered the village just now, more than a dozen people were a little scared in their hearts. For the army, it is common for a person to raise a knife and kill them, not to mention that he is still a fan.
When they entered the walled hall and saw the armor soldiers standing on both sides, the people of Fan were even more frightened.
A man with a white beard who looked like a leader stepped forward and chanted: "The little ones see the officials." ”
Du Zhongxiao looked at the dozen or so people below, and said in a deep voice: "Which Fan are you from?" Who is the leader? Since when have they been grazing in this area? During the year, did any soldiers come? One by one, from the truth! ”
The white beard arched his hand: "Back to the officials, the small ones are all fleeing people, and they are not afraid of belonging to the Tibetan Ministry." Since the year before, the small one and two families have been grazing sheep in this area, and later several more families have come. Not to mention this year, since I was a child, I haven't seen officers and soldiers in this area. ”
Du Zhongxiao said: "From now on, there will be officers and soldiers stationed in this village, and they can't shepherd sheep." Your cattle and sheep have been bought together for the night. In a few days, I will send you to the camp to work in the fields and find another life. ”
Hearing this, more than a dozen people knelt down together and kowtowed repeatedly: "The official is gracious!" These cattle and sheep are small people's food and clothing, and they are gone for a while, how can we live? We are all people in the mountains, and we have never done anything against the court, and the officials have left a way to live! ”
Du Zhongxiao sighed, tried to calm his tone, and said, "I said that I was buying your cattle and sheep, not robbing you." After you have taken the money, you will go to the camp and work in the fields, and someone will arrange for your life in the future, which is a hundred times better than here. After the village is garrisoned by soldiers, the surrounding people must be clear about which Tibetan department they belong to, otherwise they will all move to the interior. It's close to the border, so it has to be. ”
Where are those people willing to believe? Just kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
How can they say this kind of thing clearly? Du Zhongxiao beckoned to Shi Saburo and said, "You go to take a look at the cattle and sheep, and make a unified price, and calculate the money for them according to the price in Dongjiazhai." Remember, you have to cash out! Let them settle down first and deliver them meals every day. Wait until the men who bring the grain and grass come later, and let them go back to the camp and do their work. ”
The entourage promised to take a few soldiers, escorted a group of people, and went out of the walled hall.
The situation in this area is too complicated, and many of the Tibetan tribes not only pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, but also pay tribute to the Khitan, like grass on the wall. To control them, one is to deter them by force, and the other is to control the economy. This kind of retail investor is too troublesome, it is difficult to check, and it is even more difficult to manage. It is better to cut the mess with a quick knife, so that all the subordinates of the partial head village are subordinate to the Tibetan departments, just like the villages in the mainland. Once organized, there are many ways to control.
More than a dozen people cowered and were escorted out of the walled hall, only to feel that all thoughts were lost. Some people regret it in their hearts, it is better to let the fierce general just now kill a few sheep to eat, so that there is not a single one left now. Du Zhongxiao said to buy, these people don't believe it in any way, where is there such a good thing in the world? When the army comes, will it spend money to buy sheep to eat?
Thirteen Lang arrived at the tent of the Fanhu and said to the white-bearded man: "How many cattle and sheep do you have, take me to check it quickly, and I will go back to settle the business after calculating the money with you." It's freezing on this day, and it's cold outside, and it's done, wouldn't it be good for you to bake a fire. ”
The white-bearded man said: "How dare the little ones ask for the money of the officials? If you want to eat, just take a few bites. ”
Thirteen Lang couldn't help but scold when he heard this: "You refused to live or die just now, and now you are so generous!" Which is going to eat your sheep! This is an errand ordered by the officials, and it has to be done. I won't be verbose with you, I won't share the big sheep with the small sheep, three hundred wen a piece, and I will give you cash. This is the price of Dongjiazhai, Tong Su is not deceitful, you can ask yourself in the future. The price of the cow is two, quickly count with me, I am so good! ”
