Shen Yi himself naturally did not take over the local military power. Not only did he not have the power to take over, he did not even have the power to intervene.
But Li Mu did.
Although the Crown Prince of Jin was from the clan, he was a serious official who went south to patrol the sea as an imperial envoy, and he also carried a royal flag. If these local officials were disobedient, in extreme cases, he could even kill them first and then report them.
What's more important is that on this trip south, he basically didn't care about the military. As long as Shen Yi asked him for the authorization to take over the local military affairs, he would definitely have nothing to say.
Because in the view of the Jin Crown Prince, Shen Yi's trip south actually represented the emperor, and he basically gave Shen Yi all the power he could give to Shen Yi. He even rushed to the front to do things that offended others, and put Leave your rear to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi quickly arrived at the Wenzhou Magistrate's Yamen. It was already evening and the prefect had already got off work and was not at the back Yamen. He had gone out to "entertain".
Shen Yi walked into the government office, revealed his identity, and then sat quietly in the side hall of the magistrate's government office where guests were entertained, drinking tea and quietly waiting for the return of Magistrate Chiang.
This wait lasted for nearly an hour.
Magistrate Jiang hurried back from outside and trotted all the way to the side hall. As soon as he walked into the side hall, he first wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then held his hands to Shen Yi, his tone full of apology: "Brother, please I'm really sorry for the long wait. Today, several people of the same age came from other places to visit Brother Yu. Brother Yu couldn't resist it, so he went out to drink with them. As soon as he heard that Brother Xian was waiting at the government office, Brother Yu immediately He left them behind and hurried back..."
He looked anxious and in a hurry, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked like he had come back in a hurry.
However, although the transportation in this era was not developed, the city was not large. Even the relatively prosperous Wenzhou Prefecture was only that big, and the relatively prosperous places were gathered around the government office.
If he really came back in a hurry, he wouldn't have kept Shen Yi waiting for two hours anyway.
Moreover, the master of the government had a rosy air about him, and he had probably gone out to enjoy himself. Maybe when the government officials came to look for him, he was doing errands, and he came back only after finishing the errands.
Of course, there is still a big gap in the grades between Shen Yi and the Chiang Prefect. To put it bluntly, if the two of them were in normal contact, Shen Yi might not be able to meet the master of the mansion when he came to Wenzhou Mansion.
If someone is willing to "pretend", it is already giving Shen Yi face.
Shen Yi also stood up, returned the salute to Magistrate Jiang, forced a smile on his face, and said: "It's Shen who feels sorry for bothering the governor so late at night."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me."
With a smile on his face, Magistrate Jiang said with a smile: "We are all our own people, there is no need to talk to outsiders. If Brother Xian has something to do, let's sit down and tell him. In this area of Wenzhou Prefecture, as long as Brother Yu can do it, he will definitely give it to Brother Xian." manage."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the coastal Japanese pirates are currently gathering in large numbers and are very likely to attack eastern Zhejiang. I hope that your Majesty can order that the counties under Wenzhou Prefecture can Immediately send people to guard around, and if you have the ability, move the people along the coast to various counties. The most important thing is..." ...
Shen Yi looked at Magistrate Chiang with a serious look on his face: "Once you find traces of Japanese pirates, send someone to report to me immediately. I will lead the anti-Japanese army to quell the Japanese trouble."
Japanese pirates never attack cities.
Because they basically have no armor, and what they do have is just some leather armor.
Therefore, they basically have no ability to siege cities. Even if they land and plunder, most of them plunder villages and towns, steal things, kill people, and set fires, then turn around and run away.
The last time the Japanese pirates attacked Linhai County uncharacteristically, it was because the Wang family in Linhai had an inseparable relationship with the Japanese pirates of Wang Xian's group. Wang Xian was anxious and chose to lead the Japanese pirates to attack Linhai City.
And even facing the Linhai Guards who could be broken at the touch of a field battle, Wang Xian and other Japanese pirates also suffered a loss when they attacked Linhai County. They had no armor and the shields were not very complete. If they attacked the city, no matter how low it was, they would not be able to survive. You have to pay for it with your life.
Later, when the defense of Linhai City was weak, the Japanese pirates from Wang Xian's group did not choose to attack the county. Instead, they chose to go head-to-head with Shen Yi in the wild, and ultimately suffered a big loss at the hands of Shen Yi.
Obviously, the Japanese pirates who gathered along the coast this time will most likely not attack the city. Let alone some small county towns, they will never attack a city like Yongjia City.
After hearing Shen Yi's words, Magistrate Jiang, who was still smelling of alcohol, suddenly became sober.
He looked at Shen Yi seriously.
"My dear brother, this matter is very important, so you can't talk nonsense..."
Shen Yi sighed helplessly and said: "How could Shen joke with the Master about this kind of thing? As soon as I got the news, I came to see the Master immediately. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, an hour earlier. If you do it, you may be able to save more people's lives. As for the relocation of the population, there are still some expenses for the relocation of the population..."
Mr. Shen said in a deep voice: "The master will urgently buy some food tomorrow for them to eat and drink. The money for the food will be recorded in the account and Shen will pay it out."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused. He looked at Magistrate Jiang and said slowly: "Master, we have to agree in advance. These are life-saving food and life-saving money. If anyone else does anything, keep 30% of it and report it." Add two points: "That trick is known to me, and the imperial envoy's royal flag will not spare him!"
For Governor Chiang to be able to serve as a governor in a place like Wenzhou Prefecture, he certainly has his own business capabilities. Hearing this, the governor patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, dear brother, if the Japanese pirates are attacking is true. , Brother Yu is personally responsible for purchasing and distributing food. If there is any mistake in the accounts, without you having to say anything, Brother Yu will be killed in the prefect's Yamen!"
After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But my dear brother..."
"It's not that Brother Yu doesn't believe you, it's just that this matter is too important. Brother needs to see the Imperial Envoy himself, or..."
"Only when you see the imperial envoy's seal document can you act accordingly."
This sentence did not surprise Shen Yi. After all, officials should be cautious. In fact, if Governor Chiang had not said this sentence, it would have aroused Shen Yi's suspicion.
Mr. Shen took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I have already written to the imperial envoy immediately. The imperial envoy is not far from Yongjia City now. It is estimated that he will return to Yongjia the day after tomorrow to take charge of the defense of Wenzhou Prefecture and the entire eastern Zhejiang. During the imperial envoy Before returning to Yongjia..."
Shen Yi looked at Governor Jiang and said in a deep voice: "I hope the governor can do as I said. I can pay the money to buy grain to the Wenzhou government office first, or I can directly ask people to buy it. But the matter of relocating the people, I can't do it." Only local officials can do it!"
Magistrate Chiang had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Brother Xian, this is against the rules..."
Shen Yi looked at the harmless-looking Wenzhou magistrate and almost slapped the table.
He took several deep breaths and gritted his teeth: "Then I will write you an imperial envoy document and stamp it with the seal of my newspaper office. If anything happens, I, Shen Yi, will be responsible. That's all!"
After saying this, Shen Yi felt furious in his heart.
If the man named Jiang continues to disagree, he will lead the anti-Japanese guards to occupy the government office and issue orders himself!
Seeing that Shen Yi was willing to "take responsibility", Governor Jiang immediately smiled and patted his chest towards Shen Yi.
"What my wise brother said is that it is for the court at the top and for the people at the bottom. It is also Brother Yu's responsibility to fight against the Japanese bandits!"
"Brother Yu, send a message now and have someone send it to the county seat immediately!"
After saying this, he did not move, but just looked up at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi felt angry in his heart, but he had no choice but to exhale and said in a deep voice.
