After the Taiping County Government Office was occupied by the Japanese pirate leader Hei Hachiro, it became the base camp of the Japanese pirates in Taiping County. The Taiping County Government Office was able to escape the destruction. However, due to the hasty retreat of the Japanese pirates, there was no time to set fire to it. Taiping County City also escaped the fire.
Except for the mess caused by Japanese pirates, it is basically intact.
After Zhu Pingan entered the Taiping County Government Office, he led people to clean up the inside and outside of the County Government Office and used it as a temporary camp for the surviving people.
After more than an hour of inspection, each team found six Japanese pirates who had slipped through the net. These six Japanese pirates were all infected with wounds. They were dying and could not move. They were treated as burdens and left to die in a broken house. The patrol team pressed Zhu
According to the order before peace, their heads were pickled with lime and their bodies were burned.
After more than an hour of search and rescue, various patrol teams also rescued many surviving civilians, a total of 1,091 people.
This is a heartbreaking number, because before the Japanese invaders broke into the city, the county had a permanent population of 20,000.
Now there are only less than 1,100 people left! Not even one out of ten can survive!
After the young people witnessed the Taiping tragedy with their own eyes, they admired Zhu Ping'an even more. If the county magistrate hadn't kept the Japanese pirates outside Jingnan County, otherwise the people of Jingnan County would have been as useless as the people of Taiping County.
Arrange the surviving people, clean up the county, and set up defenses. Because the Japanese pirates killed too many people in Taiping County, and the city was almost full of corpses. Zhu Pingan made plague prevention a top priority, directing everyone to bury the murdered people, and clean up the streets of the county.
Eliminate the breeding environment for plague; protect drinking water sources, strictly prohibit the drinking of raw water, and must boil it before drinking to prevent the disease from entering the mouth; order to boil artemisia, mugwort and other plague prevention herbs in hot water, and order everyone to use the boiled water to bathe
, do good personal hygiene.
Zhu Pingan is like a top, never having a moment to spare.
It wasn't until the sun set that Zhu Ping'an finally had time to have lunch on the city wall.
After Zhu Ping'an deployed the city wall defenses, he returned to the county government office. Liu Dadao came over with a county seal and reported to Zhu Ping'an, "Sir, when we were cleaning the county government office, Ergouzi found the county government seal in the latrine. It has been washed now."
It’s clean.”
After Liu Dadao finished his report, he showed the county government seal to Zhu Ping'an.
The Taiping County Seal was made of copper, which had been oxidized over the years. It was dark, ugly, and worthless. The Japanese pirates did not like it. In order to humiliate the Ming government, they threw the county seal into the toilet.
"Well, it is indeed the seal of Taiping County. Ergouzi has done a great job in recovering the seal of Taiping County. He will be rewarded with ten taels of silver when he comes back."
Zhu Ping'an took a closer look and confirmed that it was the Taiping Immortal Seal. He couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth.
With this Taiping County Seal, the hidden danger of trying to steal credit for yourself is eliminated.
Not only was the Taiping County Seal, a symbol of authority, recovered, but the procedures for Zhu Ping'an's aid to Taiping were also completed.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulated: "Local officials are prohibited from leaving their jurisdiction at will." During the Jiajing period, that is, ten years ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate issued a special administrative document: "Officials such as civil servants and military personnel everywhere have local responsibilities.
It is not allowed to cross the border to greet or send guests to visit, as this will hinder their duties, and those who violate the rules will be impeached by official officials."
As the magistrate of Jingnan County, and as the parent official of Jingnan County, Zhu Pingan has local responsibilities and is not allowed to leave Jingnan at will. If he leaves Jingnan at will, Zhu Pingan is breaking the law and will be impeached, and he will be impeached every time.
.
Give me a chestnut.
In the Song Dynasty, there was an official named Chen Houshan, who was a local magistrate in Xuzhou. He was also a poet. He was an enthusiastic fan of the great writer Su Dongpo. He could be said to be one of the craziest star-chasers in ancient times. One day, Su Dongpo was demoted to Hangzhou as an official.
After Chen Houshan, who was an official in Xuzhou, heard about it, he left Xuzhou and went to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province to wait for Su Dongpo, just to meet his idol Su Dongpo. In the end, he got his wish and met Su Dongpo. However, as happiness leads to sorrow, Chen Houshan's colleagues heard about it.
Later, he reported Chen Houshan to his superiors, and finally Chen Houshan was dismissed from his official position.
Zhu Ping'an left Jingnan County, his jurisdiction, to aid Taiping County. There was a hidden danger of leaving the jurisdiction privately.
However, laws and regulations do not always prohibit leaving the jurisdiction. In some special circumstances, you can leave the jurisdiction. For example, if you are chasing down Jiangyang bandits, and the county magistrate is chasing down Jiangyang bandits, you can temporarily leave the jurisdiction.
According to the principle of the Ming Dynasty Law, "heavy weights are used to show the lightness, and light lifting is used to show the importance", Japanese pirates are much more harmful than Jiangyang bandits. Pursuing and arresting Jiangyang bandits can temporarily leave the jurisdiction, so naturally, pursuing, suppressing and arresting Japanese pirates can leave the jurisdiction.
This group of Japanese pirates invaded my jurisdiction in Jingnan, but I led the crowd to repel them, and fled to Taiping County to commit crimes.
Therefore, I, Zhu Pingan, have jurisdiction, so I led my troops to Taiping County to fight against the Japanese!
However, there are certain hidden dangers if a person who is willing to grasp the words of the law and order does not interpret it according to the principle of "heavy weights are used to show lightness, and light lifting is used to show weight". Pursuing Jiangyang bandits can temporarily leave the jurisdiction, but Japanese pirates are not Jiangyang bandits.
You are not allowed to leave the jurisdiction without permission.
Now, with this Taiping County Seal, Zhu Pingan can eliminate this hidden danger.
Zhu Ping'an laid out pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the county office hall, holding the brush with his left hand, and in the name and tone of Taiping County Magistrate, he wrote a letter of request for help to the Jingnan County Magistrate, that is, himself, requesting to send troops to rescue Taiping County.
After finishing writing, Zhu Pingan dried the ink, used a piece of cloth to hold the Taiping County seal, dipped it in ink pad, and stamped the Taiping County seal on the letter asking for help.
The reason why Zhu Ping'an used a cloth to cover the Taiping County Seal was because the county seal was taken out of the toilet. Although he had washed it several times, he could still smell a faint smell of urine.
Ping An had to cover it with cloth.
After the ink pad dried, Zhu Pingan placed the letter asking for help close to his body.
With such a letter from Wangzhi County asking for troops to be sent for rescue, it was justifiable to rush to Taiping County's aid myself.
No one can impeach themselves.
This great achievement of regaining Taiping County fell into his own hands without any further trouble.
"Daqian, make the porridge thicker and steam the rice more for dinner so that everyone can eat enough."
"Big Sword, Big Hammer, you should work harder and patrol at night. If you encounter Xiaoxiao who takes advantage of the chaos and commits crimes, he will be severely punished."
"Dear fellow villagers, the Japanese pirates have been driven away, so you can rest assured. Daxe, it's autumn, and it's getting cold at night. Please lead your people to collect more quilts, and try to get three or five common people to share one quilt.
"
After Zhu Ping'an personally collected the letter asking for help, he left the county government office to direct the arrangements for the resettlement of the people and other matters.
He was busy until the moon was bright and the sky was full of stars. Then Zhu Ping'an sat down among the people and took a rest.
