Chapter 1679: Fierce Tide Undercurrent

The next day, Xia Yunjie received many resignations from the former immortal officials of Wenqiao Mansion.

These are all expected by Xia Yunjie, these immortal officials are uneven, and they are also used to shrinking into a corner, not thinking of enterprising, and lacking the enterprising spirit, even if he showed his means in the previous war and made bold statements in the lobby, they still did not have the courage and courage to follow him. It is not a bad thing for such a subordinate to resign and leave. You must know that in the future, he Xia Yunjie will face very powerful enemies, if he doesn't even have this bit of courage and daring, how can Xia Yunjie spend his heart and soul cultivating them in the future? How can you entrust them with the heavy responsibility? And how can you trust them?

However, to Xia Yunjie's surprise, Lu Meng, the commander of the Western Route Army who had been suppressed by Deng Ling by him in Sidu County, actually chose to stay.

Life is really interesting! Sitting in the lobby again, looking at the left-hand side below, only Lu Meng, the commander of the Western Route Army, was standing there alone, and the others were all gone, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Lu Meng, why did you choose to stay?" Xia Yunjie sighed in his heart, looked at Lu Meng and couldn't help but ask with a hint of curiosity.

"Back to my lord, the first time my lord took the position of a county magistrate in Qianxi County, and took Wang Yiqing and Jia Kuiliang, the lower officials did not take the adults in their eyes, thinking that the adults were arrogant and ignorant, and it turned out that the lower officials were wrong. The second time, when the adult said in Sidu County that his protégé could retreat from the enemy, the lower official once again thought that the adult was arrogant, but it turned out to be confirmed that the lower official was wrong again. Xia Guan didn't want to be wrong for the third time! Xia Guan didn't believe that the adult was Meng Lang's arrogance. Lu Meng replied.

"You'll find out that you've finally picked the right one this time!" Xia Yunjie smiled when he heard this, waved his hand to let Lu Meng retreat, and then summoned Deng Ling and the others up one by one.

Deng Ling was appointed as the general judge of the middle route, Wu Tong was the general judge of the western route, Zhu Gang and Yin Tumu were the commander and general judge of the Southern Route Army respectively, and Shi Yunpeng and Ji Geng were the commander and general judge of the Northern Route Army respectively.

As for the six-room immortal officials who resigned, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, Xia Yunjie drew up personnel from the protégés who stayed in Yunheng Mountain, and ordered his own soldiers to go to Yunheng Mountain with their own instructions to transfer them.

In this way, in addition to Lu Meng, the commander of the Western Route Army, as well as the two brothers Chi Lietian and Chi Liedi, the important positions of Wenqiao Mansion were all occupied by Xia Yunjie's protégés recruited in Qianxi County.

Of course, the positions of commander and general judge still need to be appointed by the county government.

However, since the county government appointed him as the government commander, and arranged his protégé Wei Chong in the position of commander, it means that the county government basically handed over the Wenqiao Mansion to Xia Yunjie to be the master, since those people took the initiative to resign, and Deng Ling and others had made meritorious contributions in the previous war, there was basically no reason for them to go to the county government.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the county government to issue the appointment letter to Deng Ling and the others, and there was no movement on the Xihe faction's side, and I don't know if it was because Wei Haichuan and Zuo Shunshimen handed over the words, or because Wang Yiqing and Jia Kuiliang were just small people in the Xihe faction after all, and they couldn't attract the attention of the high-level leaders of the Xihe faction and personally come forward for the death of the two of them.

Before Xia Yunjie came down with the appointment letter for Deng Ling and the others from the county government, he sent people according to the original plan to follow the four routes of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and issued the notice all the way, restricting all forces to express their submission to the jurisdiction of the heavenly court within two years and hand over a certain percentage of their income every year. Of course, Xia Yunjie also made people announce the duties and obligations of the Wenqiao Mansion Heavenly Court, including guarding the territory of one side, not allowing foreign forces to invade, protecting the private property of all forces, protecting the personal safety of everyone, and so on.

After the news was released, ordinary people, as well as small forces from all sides, were very supportive, because they were all weak, in this world of the jungle, they were usually oppressed by all the big forces, and there was a lack of security in both property and life safety.

However, the power of the Heavenly Court Government has been weak in the area of Wenqiao Mansion for a long time, and even since the Heavenly Court established Jinyang City in Wenqiao Mansion, Jinyang City has been captured many times. Although the situation was later reversed because of Xia Yunjie's appearance this time, the common people's perception of the weakness of the Heavenly Court government was deep-rooted, and it could not be reversed in a moment.

Therefore, after the news was released, those ordinary people who were already outside the sphere of influence of the Wenqiao Mansion government, and the weak forces, although they supported this policy, none of the small sects and small forces took the initiative to surrender. Because there is a greater power above them that rules over them, and if they surrender to the government, they will betray them. Between the government and the forces above them, they chose to wait and see.

As for the big forces, they naturally scoffed at the announcement issued by Xia Yunjie, the new government order, and even secretly skewered together, and after two years, if the government order really dared to forcibly suppress it, they would unite to directly overturn him and capture Jinyang City.

Although the three major forces such as the Broken Soul Valley were destroyed and the Flame Sect was annexed, these big forces of Wenqiao Mansion were inevitably a little shocked, but they did not think that the government army led by the new Wenqiao Mansion Commander had the strength to compete with the powerful forces that so many forces had gathered together.

Time passed quietly, a year and a half have passed, and no party has taken the initiative to come to Fucheng to express its sincerity, and Lord Fuling seems to be just talking, more than a year has passed, and no action has been taken. It is only that the standardized management of the areas under its jurisdiction has been tightened, and any act of committing adultery, bullying the weak, or violating laws and regulations will be dealt with strictly.

As a result, the jurisdiction that Wenqiao Mansion really controls at the moment is one of the positive, and the common people have praised Xia Yunjie as a good government order, and even some ordinary people in other places have quietly moved to the jurisdiction controlled by the government. Of course, those big families in the jurisdiction who are used to being strong, the big gate faction is naturally not happy, but Xia Yunjie is famous, and there are strong people such as Wei Chong under the account, although those big family gate factions are dissatisfied in their hearts, they don't dare to resist, but they have secretly ventilated with some forces outside, if the future government orders the adults really want to forcibly subdue all forces, they will unite with the outside forces, and they will unite with the outside forces to overthrow Xia Yunjie.

Therefore, more than a year after Xia Yunjie took office, the entire Wenqiao Mansion seemed to be calm on the surface, everyone was safe and sound, and their lives were orderly, but in fact, there was an undercurrent of fierceness. However, Xia Yunjie didn't seem to be aware of it, and basically handed over the big and small affairs in the mansion to Wei Chong and others to take care of, and he himself basically meditated and cultivated every day, almost ignoring the affairs of the mansion.
