第九十六章 来客(下)

After Fang Xin returned, it was another half a month. It was mid-August. One day, he had just had an overnight dinner in the yamen. Zhang Yang rushed to the inner courtyard and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Sir, sir!"

Fang Xin had washed his feet and was browsing under the lamp. He put down the book and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

见他神情,心中已经预料了几分.

Zhang Yang quickly saluted and said, "Sir, Man Si has rebelled!"

Fang Xin was shocked, put down the book, and said, "Sit down and talk slowly!"

"Yes, three days ago, the Manshi rebelled and was calling King Anchang as his name, gathering tens of thousands of people to besiege Wuzhu County. Wuzhu County has issued an urgent request to report to the provincial center. Moreover, there are also chieftain riots near our county. Now the contact has been cut off. It seems that there are more than thousands of people."

A simple map of the whole province suddenly appeared in Fang Xin's mind. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a breath. Wuzhu County is an important checkpoint in the province. Once it falls, the whole province will immediately cut in half and cannot be transported. Then half of the western province will immediately fall into the point of fighting each other.

这蛮司中,还有能人啊!

Seeing him thinking, Zhang Yang said, "Sir, the provincial government has sent a minister to us. Should we greet him immediately?"

Fang Xin was shocked and woke up, saying, "Assuming that, have you summoned the Lords?"

“下官已经通告了.”张阳说着.

“很好,我们这就去.”

At this time, it was drizzling at night. Fang Xin didn't even wear oil clothes. He rushed to a section of the road to the lobby outside in the drizzle. At this time, the house was already full of people. When Fang Xin came in, he bowed and said, "Sir!"

Fang Xin looked at him and saw an eighth-rank military officer there, tall, black and red-skinned, energetic, and his eyes were filled with gleam. When Fang Xin came in, he bowed: "The emperor has met the magistrate!"

Fang Xin quickly stepped up and helped him up: "Don't you have to be too polite, is this envoy of the provincial government?"

"That's right, the lower-ranking official Qi Zhiqing and the Xuanjie Captain brought the provincial Chinese documents." The man didn't say much, and said frankly.

“还请齐大人宣读!”

It is not an imperial edict, so of course you don’t need to kneel down and read it. Just take it this way, but you are ready to let everyone hear it, so Fang Xin said so.

Qi Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, opened the official document, read aloud, "Is the Guming County Magistrate Li Rui's warning was made, and the record was put into the file. At this time, the rioters rose up and the county was uneasy. The commander of the camp Qi Zhiqing led his troops to guard it. I hope you can defend the county town without losing an inch of land, so I will try to help you!"

“下官遵命!”方信深深鞠躬的说着.

After receiving the official documents, the battalion was under the temporary jurisdiction of Fang Xin. This was not a wing army, but an army. Although the first battalion had only 250 people, it also made the officials present breath a sigh of relief.

Then all the officials gave a great gift: "Please give the order to the magistrate."

At this time, the magistrate naturally takes over the power and issues orders, and of course bears all responsibilities.

At this time, it was already early autumn. Fang Xin sat down and said directly to the entrustment clerk Song Wenchen: "You are in charge of the warehouse and the situation of the warehouse. Let me tell you all."

"Yes, I should report it to you." Song Wenchen, the clerk of the entrustment room, stood up and said.

"Sir, the grain is twice a year, and the grain for the first half of the year has been collected. Now there are 8,961 stones of coarse grains in the county warehousing, and the total money is 2,665 stagnant, and the inventory is as above!"

"Mr. The county magistrate, there are 1,021 weapons in the county's Hyogo. After counting them, only about 100 items are available. Now they have been rebuilt and rebuilt. Two hundred and fifty items have been released, which are just used on the wing soldiers. As for the others, they will be remade in the past two months for a full 1,000." County Magistrate Zheng Yongze said directly after he finished speaking.

"Master Qiao Bo, please wait a moment and directly inform all townships and villages, saying that the bandits have come and take refuge in this way, but when they go to the county town, if they don't come, they will defend themselves." Fang Xin said.

County lord Bo Qiao Jieying bowed and replied "Yes"!

When thieves arise, even the court cannot prohibit the local tyrants from defending themselves. You can't force them not to resist. Therefore, the village tribes will automatically summon the village Ding tribes to defend themselves, and some large clans and some earthen castles can defend.

At this time, Qi Zhiqing stood up and listened to the words of the county officials with a calm expression. He was a military general. Although he was an eighth rank, according to the court system, he was actually lower than the civil servants of the same eighth rank, so he didn't speak. However, he heard that there were still 8,961 stones in the county treasury, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With such a lot of food, it will take almost two years for these hundreds and one thousand troops to eat - this battle can be fought.

At this moment, he heard the county magistrate Li say, "Although this county has heard the news and has rectified it, it is not as good as the army. Did Lord Qi see the brigade along the way? I wonder if it can be trained and rectified it in a unified manner? Although it is temporary, it is worse than not. The county will give double the grain!"

When it comes to this point of view, some people always like to rectify and even kill people to establish their authority, but they don’t know that ordinary soldiers are forced to eat enough food every day, so they have no strength to fight? The food cannot keep up during training, which makes people exhausted. This is still clear.

Qi Zhiqing hurriedly said, "If you want to go to the magistrate, the wing barracks here are already good, and they are several times better than the few camps you can pass along the way. After a rough look, they are all young and strong. As long as the adults give the food and make some rectifications, they can be used!"

Fang Xin heard him say this, just smiled and said, "The grain will always be given to you. You and Lord Gu train soldiers and deal with them according to military rules and regulations. Who can't stand it? At this time, you can get out after twenty sticks. The county will naturally recruit new recruits. If the thief comes and escapes, they will be killed."

"This is the truth, and the officials will definitely train well." Qi Zhiqing bowed and said as he bowed his hands.

County Magistrate Gu Qingbin was a little dissatisfied, but he knew that this was not the time to cause trouble. He responded: "Don't worry, sir, I will cooperate with Lord Qi and train this army well."

"Mr. Zhang, what's the specific situation? Is there a disc report?"

"Sir, in this county, Lianggou Mountain, there is the residence of Mansi. There are eleven tribes. In total, there are more than 20,000 people. Since Mansi rebelled, they expected to respond. The people we sent were reported every three days, but now it's the fourth day, but there is no news yet, which is not good." Zhang Yang replied.

Fang Xin's face was as heavy as water, nodded, and said, "What do you think?"

"Sir, Xiaguan thought that it would take time for the Manshi to mobilize these tribes. We were just ready. And there were high mountains and dense forests, mountains everywhere, rivers everywhere, and people were scattered. It was difficult for the official army to fight there. Xiaguan's intention was to wait for them to attack!"

"Mr. Zhang has a good opinion!" This opinion was immediately responded to by many people. Fang Xin would not think that he should rashly go deep into the strange jungle to fight. He said immediately: "It's great, just like this, everyone can make some preparations!"

He stared at Zhang Yang again and said, "You use the heavy punishment in troubled times. You inspect the department, you should pay attention to it these days. There have been many Han and Yi people in the past century. Maybe some people inform the Manzi and arrest them. If there is any resistance, kill them. Moreover, the county wants to build a judicial chief and has been reported to the county and provincial center. You will serve as the acting judicial chief now. If this matter is done, you will naturally be in charge. Do you understand?"

The county has the right to establish judicial officials to manage public security and prison affairs. Of course, the provincial government must approve it. Now this opportunity is proposed, and it is absolutely accurate. Therefore, in fact, it is equivalent to directly appointing Zhang Yang as the judicial officials.

However, Zhang Yang was originally a nine-rank inspector, and it was a natural thing for him to be the 9-rank judicial officer at that time. Therefore, everyone had no objection. Zhang Yang immediately knelt down with a "snap" and said, "Thank you for promotion by the magistrate!"

"Also, Liu Jueming!"

"I'm humble!" Liu Jueming hurried forward and knelt on the ground.

"Since you have established a judicial chief, the prison officer must be established. You have always been the head of the class for six years. You have no contribution and have worked hard. Just go to be this prison officer. No matter what, you are from a ninth rank official, who is a background. I will report you to the county and provincial government in the construction of a judicial chief."

Liu Jueming was startled and happy at first. He was the head of the tutor. No matter how good he was, he was not an official. At this time, he would be completely different from his background. Although he was reluctant to part with the tutor's tutor's tutor, he immediately responded: "Thank you for promotion!"

"Wu Jie, you will be the leader of the yamen." Fang Xin said.

"Sir, thank you!" Wu Jie responded quickly.

Song Wenchen immediately looked at him, but it was not easy. Even if Fang Xin was the magistrate, he could not promote him to the position of the 9th-rank official. After all, he was not even from the 9th-rank.

Through this personnel adjustment, Fang Xin finally got relatively in control after taking office the second year.

"Then let it be. Lord Zhu goes back first to prepare. We will defeat the thief in one fell swoop in the future!" Fang Xin glanced around and said.
