When Shen Shi, Yang He led the five hundred nursing homes back to Mizhi County on time, and the blood stains on everyone's bodies did not completely dry up.

This time the battle is more smooth, the courtyard has been accustomed to fighting, plus equipped with enough bows and arrows and cotton armor, there is no need to worry about weapons, Yang He used the tactics of arrow rain, after nearly three years of training of the guards, almost no arrows, just by virtue of the rain of arrows, let the Liukou basically collapse, Liukou has no chance to attack, no chance to escape, one by one has become a live target, was shot like a hedgehog.

There was almost no zài left for the killing, and a thousand rogues were quickly exterminated.

After the battle, the action of cleaning up the battlefield was also very fast, and the main thing brought back this time was food and weapons, and there were only two war horses, which were still Mongolian horses.

Zheng Xunrui did not ask in detail about the battle, but asked the scouts if they found many civilians along the road, and the answer was clear, that is, there were almost no civilians in sight.

This made Zheng Xunrui understand that his judgment was basically accurate.

This also means that his overall deployment must make fundamental changes, relieving the people is already a secondary issue, and the eradication of the rogues has become the main problem, if he can't calm down all parts of Yan'an Mansion and let the rogues dare not enter Yan'an Mansion, then nothing can be done well, and the already small poor population will be rapidly reduced, and under the current situation, the state and county governments can't make any statistical matters at all, and they can't go to villages and towns, you must know that those places are places where the rogues are active, If the officials of the yamen of Fuzhou County go down, it is almost the same as looking for death.

There is a complete separation between the government and the people, and nothing can be done.

On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, 796 nursing homes arrived in Yanchang County, and the four nursing homes who were seriously injured stayed in Mizhi County to recuperate.

There are still one hundred and twenty miles to extend the distance from Fushi County, if you continue to march, when you arrive in Fushi County, the city gate is also closed, so many people, the sergeants guarding the city gate dare not open the door, Zheng Xunrui is not willing to enter Fushi County at night, and it is not easy for the night guards to arrange food and accommodation.

The nursing home was encamped on the official road, and Zheng Xunrui did not enter Yanchang County.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, at the beginning of the morning, a large group of people appeared outside the city of Fushi, and the sergeants guarding the city gate were all frightened, and hurriedly prepared to close the city gate, but fortunately, Yang He stepped forward quickly and loudly reprimanded the prefect for taking office.

The situation in Fucheng is not much better, it looks lifeless, but at this time, Zheng Xunrui is a lot calmer, he already knows the general situation, and he is fully prepared in his heart.

Fucheng is still bigger than Mizhi County, but the specifications are completely different from Jiangnan, looking at it, most of the colors are yellow, the land is yellow, the hillside is yellow, even the sky seems to be yellow, the air is filled with the smell of yellow sand, people can't tell the difference between heaven and earth.

After successive famines, the grass was eaten up, and it was impossible to see anything other than the loess.

All the nursing homes entered the castle.

Many officials in Yan'an Prefecture have long been prepared when they heard that the new prefect is coming to take office.

They don't know about the battle in Mizhi County, but what they are anxious about is the battle in Ansai County, and Shen Yikui, who rebelled again after surrendering, is leading the Liukou to attack Ansai County.

To say that Yan'an Mansion has encountered a lot of such battles, they should not be so panicked, but what they are worried about is that the county seat of Ansai is only sixty miles away from the capital city, once Ansai County is taken, will Shen Yikui directly attack the capital city.

The former prefect Ma Maocai has long since left, and the new prefect has not yet arrived, according to the understanding of many officials, I am afraid that it will be in place after the Chinese New Year, such a ghost place, who wants to come.

The new prefect was in place so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations, you must know that the imperial court's report had just been delivered, and what surprised many officials even more was that the new prefect was actually the champion of the palace examination and the Hanlin revision. Everyone is a little confused, is it that this cultivator has offended someone, and if he doesn't do a good Hanlin, he will not come to such a poor place with mountains and bad waters, wouldn't he be asking for hardship.

Yan'an Mansion with the governor of Ma Zhukui, the general judgment Sun Qimeng led many officials, hurried to the direction of the city gate, one is the Wanli period of the people, the other is the Apocalypse years of the people, came to this poor mountain and bad water place, it turned out to be the experience and governor of the government, the officials of the eighth and ninth grades, there is no chance to become the same knowledge and the general judgment, not enough for years of famine, the rogue is wanton, almost all the officials who have a way have left, and the other Jinshi are not willing to come here, the two were promoted step by step, but the two also know the price of promotion, That's that they have almost no chance of getting out of here.

Before they could reach the gates, a large group of men and horses came.

When the two of them saw the team coming, they couldn't help but shudder, this team was faintly murderous.

Zheng Xunrui also saw many officials who rushed over, and the official uniforms represented their identities.

"This official, Zheng Xunrui, is going to Yan'an Mansion to take up his post today."

Zheng Xunrui dismounted and spoke in front of everyone who was standing.

Ma Zhukui and Sun Qimeng hurriedly led many officials to salute, and they didn't have the opportunity to meet the champion, let alone the emperor.

"Xiaguan Yan'an Mansion is the same as knowing Ma Zhukui."

"Xiaguan Yan'an Mansion sentenced Sun Qimeng." ……

Zheng Xunrui paid attention to Sun Qimeng, he didn't seem to be young, and the general judgment was generally related to Jinyiwei, and Chongzhen was no exception, but this Sun Qimeng seemed to be a scholar, and I am afraid that he would not be looked down upon by Jinyiwei, plus a place like Yan'an Mansion, Jinyiwei is not interested, and the emperor will not care very much.

"Okay, let's all go to the government office to receive the order."

The decree is necessary, Zheng Xunrui must also take out the holy decree, that is a sign of his identity, the decree will be stored in the south wing, there is a special person to keep it, many officials have seen the decree, even if they know the prefect.

Zheng Xunrui is too young, which makes the old-fashioned Ma Zhukui and Sun Qimeng a little wooden, people are so young, they are the champion of the palace examination and the cultivation of Hanlin, compared with people, the gap is too big, of course, they are respectful and respectful in front of Zheng Xunrui, after all, knowledge is in front of them, and there is no comparison between people and champions.

"The sergeants brought by this official are arranged in the garrison yamen of the government office, and from today onwards, no one is allowed to enter and leave the garrison yamen at will, and the sergeants of the county yamen guarding the yamen are still duty-oriented."

As soon as he came to the wing room behind the lobby, Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth to command.

Immediately, there was a priest from the barracks, taking Yang He and others to the garrison yamen of the government office.

The garrison yamen of the government has always been empty, and all the sergeants of the government are concentrated in the garrison yamen of the county government, and the money is not much, so it is impossible to support so many sergeants, so the garrison yamen of the government is empty.

The reason why Zheng Xunrui is so anxious about the arrangement is because they carry a large amount of grain and grass, these things must quickly find a place to put them, as for the gold and silver, etc., they are also temporarily placed in the garrison yamen, Zheng Xunrui does not dare to put it in the palace, he has just come here, he is not familiar with anything, he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what if.

The government is still a little big, but it seems empty, and the style is not as good as Jiangning County, this qiē is a reason, there is no money, the officials, the warden and the clerk all need the imperial court to allocate silver, and it is also directly related to the local tax income, the local tax is too small, and it can't support so many officials, so it has to be used less.

The number of government officials is not very large, the government officials do not have a salary, they all live on subsidies, subsidies come from the income of the government officials, the identity of the government officials is very low, among which the people are strong, Kuding, etc. are good people, soap, fast, catch, be, janitor and menzi are untouchables, the identity of the untouchables is similar to that of quasi-criminals, and some untouchables would rather go to the rogue than become a catcher.

Looking at the empty backyard, Zheng Xunrui was a little dazed, he officially took office, and he was facing such a situation, the government was deserted, the backyard was also deserted, and even the mansion was deserted, and there were not too many people to see.

Only Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu were following him, Zheng Jinhong and Yang He and others, all of whom went to the garrison yamen.

After following Zheng Xunrui for a long time, Hong Xintao and the others also knew what to do, they quickly unloaded their salutes, and the two of them began to make the bed and other things, and one person brought washing water for Zheng Xunrui.

There was very little water in the tank.

When Hong Xinyu was about to lose her temper, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.

"What Yan'an Mansion lacks is water, since you have come here, don't be so particular, this is not as good as the capital and Jiangning County, everyone is ready to endure hardships, I am not here to be an official, but to be a coolie."

Hong Xinyu pursed her mouth.

"The young master came to such a place, his subordinates really didn't expect it, I couldn't see anyone along the way, the poor jingle, the wind blew, and the sky was full of yellow sand, and I didn't know how such a place could feed people."

"Hehe, it's a good place, if Young Master Ben doesn't go yet, he will do it here, if he can't change the appearance of this place, this official is not ready to leave."

Hong Xintao is the eldest brother in the end, and walked over and glared at Hong Xinyu.

"Young master, rest assured, subordinates are able to endure hardships, when you arrive in such a place, the young master arranges, if there is anything, the subordinates will do their best to do it well."

After barely washing, Zheng Xunrui came to the back garden.

There are only a few lonely trees in the back garden, and there are no flowers or plants in sight.

Zheng Xunrui, who was standing in the back garden, was slightly stunned, didn't say a word, Hong Xinyu next to him was a few meters away, and didn't bother.

No one knows what Zheng Xunrui is thinking.

Soon, Hong Xintao walked over quickly.

"Young master, Lord Ma came to report, and the magistrate of Fushi County is here."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, he came so quickly, he had just arrived at the government office, and before he had completely settled down, the magistrate had arrived, and it seemed that he still knew the rules of officialdom.
