The county magistrate was stunned.

No one thought that there would be such a powerful summoning object on this mountain.

dragon?

"Is that a real dragon?"

"No, it must be an illusion!"

Even so, the morale of the strong men from the county completely collapsed after seeing this scene.

When someone first saw the tens of meters long dragon from a distance, some people wanted to run away.

And now the dragon took another breath and turned into a hurricane.

Is this good enough?

Almost everyone turned around and ran away.

Fortunately, Rich Master Liu's people didn't have much training, so they just yelled and didn't catch up.

Otherwise, a few of them will be scared to death.

After some twists and turns, no one died in the battle.

However, more than a dozen people fell to their death in panic after falling off the mountain road while escaping.

Not a single person actually died in the battle.

In the end, the county magistrate didn't think it looked good and declared the two related people who fell to death as killed in battle.

Not only did people fall to death on the road, there were even more missing people.

More than 1/3.

This is because some people were afraid and did not dare to run home, so they ran directly into the mountains to hide.

As for the reason, he was probably worried about offending Shenlong and being punished, which would bring harm to his family.

The county magistrate of Jinshi was too lazy to take care of these losses.

After he returned to the county seat, he immediately began to write letters, write notices, and report to the superiors.

And it’s still 100 miles express.

With his power as county magistrate, he can send urgent letters hundreds of miles away.

If you want to send an expedited shipment of 300 miles, 600 miles, or even 800 miles, you must be in an important stronghold, a provincial capital or the like, to have the ability to send this kind of expedited service.

His notice soon reached nearby Fucheng.

After the prefect saw the notice he sent, he immediately said disdainfully: "What is it?"

"What do you mean someone summoned a dragon?"

"It's just ridiculous."

"What a bunch of country women!"

"I guess he mistook the birds in the sky for dragons."

"Or think of a giant earthworm as a dragon."

"It's ridiculous, not worth mentioning."

The prefect ignored it.

However, Nazhi County issued emergency reports one after another.

This shocked the prefect a little.

"What's going on with this guy? Is there something wrong with him?"

"Does he think these things can just be handed out?"

The prefect was very angry, but after getting angry, he felt strange.

So he decided to send his confidants to see the actual situation.

It's rebellion again, and it's dragon's again.

If he was unsure, he would not dare to report it as is.

So the prefect sent two of his own soldiers to protect his master's confidants and went to the county town to see for himself.

When the master and his soldiers came to the county town, they visited and heard hundreds of people saying the same thing.

Everyone swears by it.

Said they all saw the dragon.

Moreover, the magistrate himself drew a painting to prove the existence of this dragon.

At the same time, he also talked about the wealthy man Liu who established himself as emperor.

After hearing this, the master immediately knew that something was wrong.

This shouldn't be fake.

You must know that if this report is lied, this Jinshi will probably have his whole family executed.

If it's not true.

He wouldn't dare lie like this.

So the master immediately sorted out the relevant information and asked the county magistrate to sign it.

Relevant people also signed and pledged their signatures.

In the end, hundreds of people's paintings were collected.

He once again took the magistrate's painting with him and rode all the way back to the magistrate's home in person.

Without the approval of the prefect and the transfer order from above, the county magistrate cannot leave his residence at will.

Leaving the station is regarded as treason or escape.

Abandoning one's county seat will result in execution, at worst, dismissal from office.

After receiving the news from his cronies, the magistrate stamped his seal and allowed the county magistrate to come and report in person.

So the county magistrate made another trip.

This is feudal society.

The process is lengthy and inefficient.

Otherwise, why can't we defeat the nomadic tribes repeatedly?

The county magistrate soon arrived at the magistrate's office in Fucheng.

After he reported his matter in person, the prefect finally felt the seriousness of the matter.

He solemnly said: "Well, it seems that I want to ask Lord Bingbeidao to mobilize troops to suppress these rebellions."

Afterwards, he went to Bingbei Road Yamen.

And the military preparation method cannot be used to deploy troops casually.

He could only summon more than 100 people from his headquarters.

This is something he can call directly, but he cannot leave the city 50 miles away.

In order to prevent the emergence of generals, these local generals do not have the power to mobilize troops.

Only governors, governors, and other officials personally appointed by the imperial court have the power to mobilize troops.

Of course, in troubled times, in order to facilitate the raising of grain, these officials gradually seized the power of local governance and were able to control local administrators.

Eventually, it slowly became a new feudal town.

The most typical example is Zuo Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which are typical vassal towns in the late Ming Dynasty. They no longer listen to the court and collect taxes on their own.

But now is still a time of peace, and these peacetime commanders cannot mobilize their troops.

Therefore, the two began to send urgent reports to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen above, and both directed the Envoy Si to report.

At the same time, a report was sent to the court and cabinet.

A serious matter like this kind of rebellion can be reported beyond the level.

The boss will definitely be unhappy.

But don't skip the level. If something big happens, the three clans will be wiped out.

The prefects and above in this area have the privilege to report to the cabinet and the six ministries when encountering urgent matters.

After all, this is not an ordinary world, it is a world with summoned objects.

Once a dangerous summoned object appears, if the court cannot know it immediately, then the problem will be huge.

Of course, in order to limit random submission of memorials, the county magistrate cannot do it, and a second confirmation from the magistrate is required.
