Chapter 622
The sky is dim and the birds are chirping.

The person on the couch sat up straight, narrowed his eyes and looked at the room, it was dark, and lay down again, as if he wanted to continue the dream he had just had.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

After tossing and turning, he got up again after a while, turned around, put one leg up and leaned on the board arm, a few drops of sweat rolled down the corner of his forehead, his chest was also wet, and the undulating arc was obvious.

It's not yet May, but it's already comparable to the midsummer in the Northland. There is no need for thin quilts, and the bamboo mats are hot to the touch, so there is no peace for a night.

However, the reason for restless sleep is not only the heat, but also other reasons.

Xiao Yuandu originally wanted to calm down, but only for a moment.

Everything in the dream is reminiscent, and the more aftertaste, the more unbearable.

He frowned and glanced somewhere, trying to calm down, but it was useless.

With a low curse, he closed his eyes and leaned against the board wall, with his left arm resting on his knee, and the other hand down...

Patience gradually ran out, and the thirst and irritability in my heart could not be relieved, so I simply gave up.

I sat against the wall for a while, breathing heavily, and didn't get up in my clothes until the morning light came in through the cracks in the door and window.

Since the founder of Dai Viet, Tu Tuo, and most of the officials were from Zhongzhou, the script of Zhongzhou became the official language of Dai Viet.

Many of the laws and regulations of Dacheng were inherited from Dai Viet, so they have many similarities with the Zhongzhou regime, such as the implementation of the household registration system, the implementation of the calendar system, and the pre-establishment of the prince system, etc.

In terms of military officials, Taiwei Jinwu is the head, and there are generals, generals of hussars, generals of chariots, generals of guards, and then generals of Si'an, who is in charge of the king's city soldiers and guards, or who is stationed at the border and is in charge of the Siyi police, that is, General Annan. , General Anbei, General Anxi, General Anton.

Local military officials include General, General Left, General Right, General Pian, General Pi, Colonel Lieutenant, etc.The general is generally held by the state shepherd himself.

Dongning prefecture controls the barbarians of Haifan and is located at a key point. It not only has its own soldiers and horses, including infantry, cavalry and boat soldiers, but also has garrisons from the imperial court.

At the beginning of Dacheng, there was a shortage of talents. Pu Ying, who had won the trust of King Wu, directly took charge of the two battalions.This is cheaper for Xiao Yuandu.

But it's not cheap either.

The local folk customs are brave, and the soldiers are even more arrogant and unruly - this is not a problem for Xiao Yuandu, the folk customs in the North are not much better than those in Nanzhou, and he is best at talking with his fists.

The tricky part was Pu Ying's cronies, led by Ba Jian and Ma Kan.

After Xiao Yuandu took office, these people appeared to be submissive and sold well, but in fact they waited and spied and harbored evil intentions.

Xiao Yuandu did as they wished, except for building a tomb for King Yufu and setting up a sacrifice, he did not do anything else, he slept until the sun was three poles every day, at most he would go around the government office and the army, and he would ignore everything else If you don't ask, you won't see anyone at all later.

Seeing this, the Bama and Ma people became more contemptuous and courageous. They joined forces in the army to gather more soldiers—some were angry at the dead Shangguan, and some were purely outraged by the airborne Xinzhou. Shepherd, quietly brewing a mutiny.

When Pu Ying was alive, he was not only greedy and unreasonable, but none of the officials he used was easy to use. He treated the soldiers harshly and tyrannically. The soldiers had long complained, and not everyone was willing to follow them.

But they didn't dare to offend Bama and others, mainly because they were chilled by Xinzhou Mu's performance after taking office, and finally chose to remain neutral.

The two of Bama persuaded a small official in charge of food, grass and military equipment, and tricked him into joining on the condition that he was promoted as the leader. In the military camp, weapons and armor must be registered in the book, and they can only be used according to the procedures. The ring is the key.

On the appointed night, Bama and his accomplices opened the warehouse, intending to take away the armor and weapons, but found that the warehouse was empty.

"No!" Someone yelled.

Then they saw torches everywhere, and they were surrounded by groups in the blink of an eye.

There was a gap in the crowd, and Xinzhou Mu came with his hands behind his back, followed by the little official in charge of arms...

"You!" Ba Jian finally realized that he had been caught in a trap, knowing that there was no way out, he stabbed towards Xiao Yuandu who was nearby with his spear.

While turning his upper body slightly, Xiao Yuandu pulled out Xiutu's saber, and slashed him to the ground with his backhand.

Ba Jian was furious on the spot, but the man who killed him didn't blink his eyes, and didn't even move his feet.

The soldiers who participated in the mutiny looked at each other and surrendered one after another...

This mutiny was under Xiao Yuandu's control from the beginning to the end, or he was happy to see it succeed.

Although he already knows clearly which ghosts are, but to completely get rid of these ghosts, nothing can be more convenient than a pawn, and can see more people's hearts clearly.

Bama and Ma, who had committed crimes for many years, were brought to justice on the spot. Their accomplices were either prosecuted or dismissed or transferred depending on the seriousness of the circumstances. As for those who chose to be neutral, they were not pursued.

Then, according to the roster provided by Jiang Nu's people, all the vacated positions will be promoted to those who have meritorious talents but have been suppressed all the time...

Taking advantage of the opportunity of mutiny, Xiao Yuandu completely wiped out Pu Ying's supporters and remnants of forces, made the whole army obey, and successfully took over the whole army.

No matter how hard it is to take advantage of it, it is now in his pocket, but the days after that will suddenly become boring.

Someone is in charge of the military training, and someone assists in handling military affairs, but he is more willing to do it himself, otherwise what would he do?

To pass the time, the battalions will occasionally organize Cuju, which can not only exercise the body but also improve morale, which is one of the few funs.

Today is another ordinary and boring day.

After training in the school grounds, he was about to go to the dock where military ships were built and repaired, when he saw Xiutu waving at him from a distance: "My lord, you haven't used the food yet!"

Xiao Yuandu waved his hand and was about to get on the horse, Xiutu took a quick step and grabbed the rein, with a food box in his other hand: "My lord, let's go after eating, the official is already ready, there is no need to go to the kitchen, The subordinates brought them to you."

"Eat it by yourself." Xiao Yuandu lost his appetite and made a gesture to kick him away.

"Young madam told me to let my subordinates keep an eye on you, drink less alcohol, and eat meals on time..." Xiutu looked a little embarrassed, "Your subordinates have to write a letter to Changpu all day, how should we talk about it then?"

Xiao Yuandu looked at him with a bland smile, retracted his legs, tapped him with his hand, and opened the food box casually.

Nanzhou also grows five grains like Zhongzhou, but the most common one in Nanzhou is rice, which is probably due to the high temperature and rain, and the abundant water sources. This mild climate is also very suitable for fish, fruit, mulberry and silkworm breeding.

Although rice is common, ordinary soldiers still mainly eat corn, accompanied by pickles, sauces, and occasionally a meal of meat.

Officers and elite troops can get a small amount of meat every day, Xiao Yuandu refuses to set up another stove, and usually eats with the same pot as ordinary soldiers, so it is not surprising to see that there is only a bowl of porridge in the lacquer box.

He picked it up and took a sip, casually scanning his surroundings.

The military camps in Dongning are quite different from those in Zhongzhou. They are all in the form of village buildings. The walls of the village are more than ten feet high, made of glutinous rice ash and sand, with the mountains behind and the sea facing...

Xiao Yuandu paused, and looked at the rough pottery bowl in his hand.

He bowed his head, took another sip, and smacked the taste...

Bean soup, bean soup with sweetmeat.

The chief executive in the army has never done this.

And this smell...

He raised his head suddenly and stared at Xiutu.

Xiutu laughed, seeing his teeth but not his eyes, and pointed to where his barracks were.

Xiao Yuandu stuffed the pottery bowl into his hand, turned around and ran away.

After running for a few steps, he came back again, drank up the bean soup in one go, and stuffed the empty bowl to him again, and then rushed away.
