However, Lin Fengjin secretly winked at Xiangshen Wang and frowned:
"However, it is necessary for me to warn you that being a county magistrate is not that easy, especially at this time when many officials and assistant officials in the county government have died at the hands of thieves, and you are also responsible for post-disaster reconstruction and resisting the East China Sea pirates. Therefore,
Things must be complicated and complicated to deal with. If you rush to the position, you will make everything into a mess, and there will be big risks if you don't do it well."
As soon as Lin Fengjin said these words, it was as if he poured cold water on these people who were keen on this.
However, Wang Xiangshen had served as a county magistrate. He couldn't tell that Lin Fengjin was exaggerating, so he was helping him secretly. At that moment, he understood and sighed:
"Mr. Lin is absolutely right. This is indeed a hot potato. It's difficult, difficult, difficult! I would like to declare in advance that I will never go to a position where people are being roasted on the fire."
Youdao is an ugly guy who became a fairy after being snatched by two men. If no one wants the beautiful woman, then she will become a scam. When the other members heard about it, Wang and Old Fox first distanced themselves from each other. When they thought about it carefully, they all felt that
What Lin Fengjin said made sense. For a moment, he was stunned and didn't want to take on this hard work.
Lin Fengjin frowned and said:
"Everyone, this is not the time to refuse. Although Xinzhi County is a hot potato, it still has to be done by one of us!"
"To put it bluntly, no layout can be perfect. The new county magistrate has been in office for a long time. He may not be able to detect the suspicion of Zhou Papi's death for his country. Once he finds out and pursues it, could it be such a coincidence that the East China Sea pirates appear to kill him?
Him? If I don’t kill him, I’ll probably have returned to Northern Qi at that time, so where are you? Just wait until the whole family, both men and women, young and old, go to skin Zhou and bury him!”
After Lin Fengjin said this, several members of the staff were entangled again. The position of Xinzhi County was still in a bad relationship, and they had to do it well! What should we do?
Suddenly, Luo Yuanwai slapped his thigh and said:
"We don't have much experience. But Lao Wang has served as a county magistrate. He should know more about this, right?"
Lin Fengjin originally planned to say this sentence when they really didn't expect it. Unexpectedly, Luo Yuanwai was so sensible and came to assist. Wang Yuanwai didn't know how many times he recommended himself in his heart, and he didn't know what he was looking forward to.
How long has it been? When I heard this, I was very happy, but my face showed the acting skills of an Oscar winner and said in shock:
"How, how does this happen?"
The rest of the people suddenly understood and said one after another:
"Not bad, just Lao Wang will do it!"
"It's what everyone expected!"
"Old Wang, just sacrifice yourself for everyone."
Wang Yuan waved his hands outside, but inside he was elated and said in fear:
"How did this happen?"
Finally, it was enough to keep playing the tune, and then he sighed:
"You are going to put me on the fire!"
Finally, they acquiesced to this matter.
In fact, anyone who has ever been an official knows this. Especially when you are a top leader like a county magistrate, you don’t need to do everything personally. The first thing is to employ people. You just have to grasp the power yourself. There are a total of six offices under the county government, corresponding to the six central departments.
Its leader is a small official appointed by the county magistrate, called a scribe or a reception official, who is directly responsible to the county magistrate.
The six rooms are divided into left and right rows and front and back rows according to the vertical and horizontal lines. The vertical row is the three rooms for officials, households, and rites on the left. The three rooms for soldiers, punishments, and workers are on the right row; the second room for officials, soldiers, and soldiers are in the horizontal row. The second room is for the front row, household, and punishment.
It is the middle line. It is the ceremony, and the second house is the back line.
In this way, the basic framework has been set up. Then there will naturally be people who will work hard to prepare reports for you and do practical things. As long as you are more diligent and move around more, you will pay more attention to the key projects and make money.
Don't be too cruel, then you can step into the category of a good official.
What? Lin Fengjin said it was because of the shortage of officials and assistant officers. Oh my, three-legged toads are hard to find. Is there still a shortage of two-legged people? Instead of letting him be punished, let him be an official? As long as he is released
There was a rumor that a lot of people came to my door with money in hand and begged for help.
Although Wang Yuanwai only served as a county magistrate, he had served as a county magistrate and an edict for decades. He was thinking about the death of those officials and officials who had died in Shangqiang County.
It's good, it's a wonderful death, it's a damn death, it's too little. Zhou Zhixian has been an official here for several years. These people are obviously close followers of the dead Zhou Zhixian. How can Wang Yuanwai feel relieved when he orders these people?
Come?
Why do new officials need to burn three things when they take office? One is to establish authority, and more importantly, they need to find some excuse to free up key positions to place their own confidants!
At this time, there were sudden screams and commotion outside, and then it became quiet. Someone quickly ran in and said:
"Sir, there is a commotion among those Xiang troops and they want to put out the fire."
Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"Then what?"
The man said:
"After a wave of attacks, twenty or thirty people were killed before they were completely defeated. According to the prince's instructions, the leading general did not spare any of them and shot six people. The county government heard the sound of reinforcements and also wanted to charge.
They came out to fight back, and they all died in the battle."
Lin Fengjin nodded:
"It seems that these guys can't make any trouble. Mr. County Lord, I will leave thirty people for you to choose from among the strong men in our organization. They are enough to maintain order in the city. I won't delay any more. Tomorrow
I have to get up early, so go back to bed first."
When Lin Fengjin called the county magistrate, Wang Yuanwai had not yet reacted. He was stunned for a moment before saying:
"OK."
When Lin Fengjin left, the county government office had been completely burned by fire. In the midst of the raging fire, County Magistrate Zhou looked up to the sky and howled miserably:
"You bunch of rebellious officials and traitors didn't even give me a chance to surrender. I'm going to die a good death!!"
Then a burning beam collapsed and collapsed. From then on, Magistrate Zhou could no longer be seen, and the others had long since fallen on the way to escape.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, completely engulfing the county government office, a tall and powerful man with his face covered said to his men:
"What are you waiting for here? Lift up all the bodies and throw them into the fire. Get ready in the morning and go back to sleep."
The person who created this farce was naturally Lin Fengjin.
He had previously sent people to select and imprison one or two hundred East China Sea pirates who were old, weak, sick, disabled or seriously injured in separate groups. When the time was up, he opened the door and let them escape, creating chaos.
At the same time, the troops were divided into two groups. In one group, Tianlang and Lin Li led fifty or sixty people to set fire to the county government office. The other half were divided into four or five groups. Each group contained seven or eight captured gentry from the five families.
The cronies of the group were shouting along the street, saying that the pirates from the East were escaping. They should cooperate with each other inside and outside. They must spread the word so that the whole city knows about it.
At the same time, in order to prevent some "brave" people from organizing and going to the county government to put out the fire and having their plot uncovered, we have to create a very dangerous atmosphere outside. Once there are signs of people gathering, then shoot them with one arrow, as long as they don't
Just shoot at the vital points and nip such signs in the bud.
As for the soldiers who came to rescue, not to mention, since this armed force is in the hands of Zhouzhi County, the officers have naturally been targeted for a long time. They have to stand across the city wall before they dare to confront the East China Sea pirates.
, its combat power can be imagined. With the help of a local snake like Jin Shen, a signal will be sent out as soon as the soldiers move. Lin Fengjin sent out twenty bows to ambush them on the road they must pass. First, they sniped from the darkness.
Shoot, kill the respectable officials, and then shoot fiercely in front of them. The Xiang army was immediately scattered.
As for rescuing people, it was even simpler. Lin Li first used the Beetle to explore the road, and then used the Tuhao Gold to make a surprise attack. He directly eliminated the guards along the way. After rescuing the five unlucky members, he surrounded
They piled firewood at the county government office, poured oil on them, and set fires.
Next, about fifty people sparsely formed a circle in the dark. They surrounded the county government office. Whether they were trying to escape through the front door or the back door, those who crawled through dog holes, or those who climbed over the wall to escape, the fire was bright and clear.
It's just a living target and you can shoot it accurately.
It's not the fault of the magistrate of Zhou that he is so domineering. As for the magistrate, he is Bailihou! A magistrate who destroys his family, and a governor who ruins his family, everyone knows that they are extraordinarily majestic.
The biggest mistake Zhouzhi County made was to offend the wrong person at the wrong time!
Lin Fengjin had two reasons for killing him:
Firstly, Magistrate Zhou was buzzing around like a fly, which was annoying.
More importantly, Lin Fengjin discovered that the matter of the son of the employer was complicated and confusing. He and his subordinates were both foreigners and unfamiliar with the place. He had to use the power of local officials to get twice the result with half the effort. For example, the most accurate information about the son of the employer is now
All the information was found out with the help of Mr. Wang.
Magistrate Zhou obviously couldn't help in this matter, so Lin Fengjin didn't mind reciprocating the favor and helped him get over the magistrate's addiction. I believe he would be more considerate of him in this position.
When Lin Fengjin got up the next morning, there were already people beating gongs and drums outside and shouting, naturally saying that the thieves had been captured and the villagers should not panic.
At this time, the local gentry had taken over the city. With the strong support of the thirty men sent by Lin Fengjin, and of course Wang Xiangshen's previous achievements in defeating the enemy, he had successfully eliminated several competitors.
The opponent's thoughts took over the power vacuum left by Zhouzhi County.
Lin Fengjin was a little surprised that Wangzhi County actually showed a considerable level of governance, pacifying the people, relieving the victims, and sending young men to build city walls, etc. The layout could be said to be orderly. You know, this
At that time, the people of Shangqiang County were panic-stricken. Even the county government office was burned down, and the county seat was once invaded. Lin Fengjin asked himself that if he were to be the county magistrate, he would not be able to do more than this.
However, Wangzhi County has two major advantages. First, he is from a local gentry. It can be said that he has a thorough knowledge of Shangqiang County. He also has sufficient prestige and can maximize his potential. Therefore, there has always been a clear saying from ancient times, that is
You cannot serve as an official in your hometown.
The second thing is that people in Shangqiang County are really scared after experiencing two turmoils. Wangzhi County has kidnapped the fear of the people to some extent and asked them to provide money, food and people. Normally this
This kind of behavior will definitely trigger a civil uprising, but under the tragic threat of family destruction and death after the East China Sea pirates invaded, the people have a feeling that they are paying for peace, so everyone is willing to pay.
Wang Zhixian's side was prosperous, but Lin Fengjin's side was in a deadlock - his investigation was stuck.
This is actually something that is expected. After all, the time that has passed since this incident is measured in "years", and the dead have turned into bones. He has worked very hard. Unfortunately, he is not Sherlock Holmes.
The incident involving the ancestor of the Ji family happened not long ago, but Lin Fengjin was worried about another thing: What if the ancestor really was not dead and wanted to escape through cremation? He rashly exposed his secret.
, what would this old guy think?
Lin Fengjin was not afraid of him, but he was a bit jealous. Once this old guy became angry and angry, should he kill him or not? To spare such a master would be to seek death. If he wanted to kill him, it would be difficult to tell Mr. Jiuyuan when he went back.
It's hard to tell sir, I accidentally killed your relatives...
The only remaining clue is that he met Miss Zhen in Huanghuadian, but Huanghuadian is a full 120 miles away from here. The family members sent by County Magistrate Wang did come back, but they escaped in ruins. According to him,
Said that he saw the endless East China Sea Allied Forces, and they happened to be heading this way.
Lin Fengjin didn't really believe what this family member said, because he had two former high-level officials of the East China Sea Alliance Army beside him, and they all knew the total strength of the East China Sea Alliance Army. The main battle troops of the East China Sea Alliance Army had all gone back to rest.
.The remaining tens of thousands of people will be spread out on the Eastern Xia sea frontier, making it look like there are beacons of smoke everywhere. Calculating like this, how many people can come? According to Lin Fengjin's inference, it will definitely not exceed 8,000
!
Eight thousand people want to capture a large county like Shangqiang with a population of 40,000 to 50,000. Well, if Magistrate Zhou is still there, there is some hope. Unfortunately, what they are facing now is Wang.
The combination of the county magistrate and Lin Fengjin. Not to mention anything else, the hundreds of red riders under Lin Fengjin will make these East China Sea coalition forces as big as a fight.
However, even so, Lin Fengjin did not dare to take the big shot. If he really led a group of men to Huanghuadian, once he was surrounded, it would be really difficult to fly. So he could only endure it. Fortunately, Lin
Feng Jin also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he wasn't in a hurry.
As this group of East China Sea coalition forces gradually approached, their number was roughly detected. The number was a little more than Lin Fengjin guessed, about nine thousand people. It seemed that they had been beaten to the point where they had lost their armor and lost their armor.
The mud fish is its vanguard.
The warfare methods of the countries in the East China Sea are completely different from those in the Central Plains. The forward troops of the countries in the Central Plains are all elites, while the forward troops of the countries in the East China Sea are the weakest. The intention is somewhat similar to Tian Ji's horse racing, giving away his weakest troops.
Throw it out into a thunder trap.
Obviously, the Mudfish Army suffered a loss, but they also found out the details of Shangqiang County, so their coach sent his army over, whether it was to find a place or to take advantage of the situation, in short
It's coming.
Obviously, the incoming enemy army attracted great attention from the residents of Shangqiang County, but Lin Fengjin was quite calm. With just a thousand people, he would definitely have to concentrate on attacking one door, and the other three
The city gate is the escape route. Even if there is any emergency, it will be foolproof to escape on horseback with the Red Cavalry.
With the arrival of the East China Sea Allied Forces again, the atmosphere in the city became tense, and there was an atmosphere of impending disaster at any time. However, what was supposed to come was bound to come. On the morning of the third day, the East China Sea Allied Forces began to formally attack the city.
They actually ignored the existence of the moat and directly set up ladders and rushed towards the city gate. At the same time, there were several agile warriors dressed in different clothes mingling with the crowd.
Obviously, their intention is very simple, that is, to rely on the strong personal combat power of the warriors to directly enter the city first, and then create an open space on the city tower to cover the main force's entry into the city. This tactic was very popular when the East China Sea Allied Forces newly landed. It seems that
This group of East Pirates are either newbies, or they have encountered soft persimmons in previous battles and have never suffered any losses.
At this time, Lin Fengjin stood aside without saying a word. The person commanding the battle was the new commander of the Xiang Army. He was invited by Wangzhi County. He was a martial arts examiner named Fang Qi. He was in his forties and had also been in the military.
of the battlefield.
Lin Fengjin was also observing his expression. When this man saw that the East China Sea Allied Forces actually launched such an offensive, a smile appeared on his lips. Then he calmly gave orders in an orderly manner, nodding secretly in his heart.
.
After watching the men from the East China Sea Allied Forces charging up with ladders and swords, Fang Qi gave orders to shoot arrows. The archers in the Xiang Army definitely couldn't compare with Lin Fengjin's Red Cavalry, but they were better because of the large number of people and the density.
Under the coverage, twenty or thirty people were still killed.
The group of East China Sea Allied Forces rushed thirty meters away from the city wall. The warriors inside suddenly accelerated, charging quickly with wooden shields in their right hands, screaming and rushing straight up. These warriors were all
With the ability to climb the city with bare hands, once they rush to the top of the city, you will be in big trouble.
At this time, Fang Qibian said loudly:
"Get the net!"
Immediately, someone came forward. These nets were soaked in tung oil. They were originally used for carrying goods on carts. They were woven from thumb-sized hemp ropes. Once soaked in tung oil, they can be said to be extremely tough.
It cannot cut with a knife, and its only drawback is that it is afraid of fire.
When these warriors rushed to the bottom of the city, they had just used their strength to jump up on the city wall. Unexpectedly, their heads suddenly darkened, and several large nets fell down. How could they cut them away with their samurai swords?
He was immediately caught in a head-on net and fell down. While he was struggling hurriedly, the follow-up measures from the city wall came.
At this time, the residents in the city were united. Many strong men were helping to carry the rolling logs and stones below. The old, weak, sick and disabled boiled the excrement and put it in a big pot and served it. This was the gold used to defend the city.
Juice, the burns caused by splashing this thing on the body will fester for a long time, which is very vicious.
After these warriors were caught in the net, they couldn't break free in a hurry. The rolling logs and rocks that fell from the top of the city were nothing more than falling. They could use their shields to block the swords, but the two pots full of odor that fell with them
What to do with the stinking gold juice? This stuff is a viscous liquid that cannot be blocked by a wooden shield, let alone a knife.
In addition, if these warriors want to climb the city with bare hands, they must not wear armor or other heavy objects. When the stinky golden juice is poured on their bodies, it immediately soaks in. If it is boiling water, it will flow away, but the golden juice is
It was extremely sticky and could not be wiped off after being applied to the skin. Each of these warriors screamed in pain, their lips turned white, and one of them howled miserably when the golden juice splashed into his eyes.
Of course, the defenders knew that these people were the backbone of the East Pirates. They were afraid that someone would come to rescue them, so they were very motivated to throw things down. Therefore, the screams soon disappeared, and these warriors were buried directly.
Under the city gate...
There were still some archers in the East China Sea Allied Forces who wanted to suppress the city. However, the Red Cavalrymen around Lin Fengjin made up for this shortcoming invisibly. Lin Fengjin specifically told them to blend in with the crowd.
Someone was still holding the door panel to cover. After the two sides exchanged fire for a while, three of the Red Cavalrymen were injured, and there were no archers from the East China Sea Allied Forces at all.
After losing the fire suppression on the city wall, even the seven or eight-year-old children on the city defenders were able to scoop up the extremely stinking golden juice and pour it under the city wall. Under this situation, there were still people in the big city of Shangqiang County.
With sufficient preparation, it was really difficult to break through the city, so the attacker quickly retreated at a speed several times faster than the charge.
At this time, a flag of the East China Sea Allied Forces outside the city was raised. As soon as he saw it, he whispered to Lin Fengjin:
"Sir, the person here is Da Dexin, a very violent and violent person. I have seen it with my own eyes. He threw his little trip into a big pot to cook for a trivial matter. In the end, the meat on both legs was cooked.
The man continued to scream, and finally Da Dexin forced the man to eat his cooked leg meat before cutting off his head."
"This person was originally a member of the first echelon, but he was ambushed and suffered heavy losses during the attack on Jiangnan, so he must have been demoted to the second echelon."
Lin Fengjin squinted his eyes and said calmly:
"If this person falls into my hands, I must treat him well." (To be continued)
