And Cui Zhixian was also appointed as the magistrate of Huangshui Prefecture of the Kingdom of God on Earth because of his strong military and logistical capabilities. It can be said that he jumped from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and even crossed the sixth rank!
Of course, the Donglin County officials who surrendered with him also had their own appointments.
Either serve as the prefect of a place, or serve as the county magistrate of a place.
Fang Xiaoyue's former brother-in-law, Zi Lin, was appointed as the magistrate of Donglin County in the future.
At first, Inspector Lin wanted to pretend to be sick and hide away, but Master Zuo Wang said that since he was sick and there was no use for him, he should just kill the whole family!
With this said, Inspector Lin could only surrender to the thieves even if he no longer wanted to.
But having said that, being Baili Hou is much better than the previous inspection.
Half a year later, when Inspector Lin, um, County Magistrate Lin came to the Three Emperors Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings under the orders of King Zuo, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't believe it at first sight.
Lin Xinxuan, who had a strong figure at the beginning, turned into a fat magistrate with a big belly in just half a year!
I have to say that in this era, the position on the butt has a great impact on people.
Magistrate Lin, who could not even say a word of flattery in the past, now flattered Fang Xiaoyue almost to the sky when they met.
Before leaving, Magistrate Lin specially used his own money to give three pillars of merit incense to the Taoist temple.
Fang Xiaoyue also knew that although Magistrate Lin looked fat, he was actually worried every day.
The reason is simple. After the three-pronged conquest army of the Kingdom of God on the ground seized the territory of almost three provinces, the aging Qinglong Kingdom finally became fully operational.
As a court that has ruled this land for almost four hundred years, its entire war machine cannot be underestimated after it is put into operation.
Three imperial edicts were sent to all provinces in succession.
The first is to allow the gentry of each province to organize group training to fight against the bandits!
Secondly, a large amount of money and food were allocated from the national treasury to the provinces to provide food for the officers and soldiers in each province when they set off.
The last point is to invite foreign soldiers to help suppress the bandits!
Good guy, this is exactly what the government and the people are united in resisting the bandits, and they cooperate internally and externally to eliminate violence.
It's a pity that it has been almost 400 years since the peace, and the officers and soldiers of the Qinglong Kingdom are really unable to fight. They are completely rotten, collude with each other, swallow the blood of soldiers, and other phenomena frequently occur.
If you are severely investigated and punished, the people below will give you a good look when you take them out to fight.
Just two months ago, the Governor of Cangjiang Province personally led his troops to fight against the northern army of the Kingdom of God. Before the battle, the Governor beheaded several captains who were devouring the blood of the soldiers. As a result, when the battle came, As soon as it reached the enemy, the left wing collapsed, leaving the center exposed to the threat of enemy cavalry.
Some people even shouted rumors that the governor had been killed in the battle.
This caused the Cangjiang Provincial army to completely collapse in less than ten minutes.
Although the governor-general escaped under the vigorous protection of his own soldiers.
However, the charge of humiliating the country by causing the loss of more than 100,000 troops in one battle gave the governor's political opponents the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Within two days, the Governor-General, who was still squatting in the provincial capital to collect the remaining defeated soldiers, was captured by the local golden-robed guards with an imperial edict. He was put in a prison car overnight and sent to the capital prison to await His Majesty the Emperor's death.
The two sides fought successive wars, which made life difficult for the people wherever they fought. Coupled with the emergence of locust plague, a large number of people had to flee their hometowns and became refugees.
Although Donglin County has not been affected by the war for the time being, refugees from many places have fled here because of the temporary peace here.
Fang Xiaoyue immediately spent a lot of money to buy food and open a porridge shed, which saved many people's lives.
It's a pity that some people always forget their roots when they get the benefits.
On the first night when the porridge shed was opened, the strong men in yellow robes on night watch caught more than a dozen refugees who climbed over the courtyard wall in an attempt to loot the Taoist temple.
Fang Xiaoyue is not that kind of good person. As soon as he saw the faces of these refugees, he knew that these guys were not good people.
Especially the fierce-looking guys inside, with dark red blood oozing from their bodies.
This must be the result of murder.
So in the early morning of the next day, Fang Xiaoyue asked the strong man in yellow robe to hang the refugees on the big tree outside the Taoist temple, and made their guilt clear. After hanging them for three days and three nights, they were sent to the county government for disposal.
Fang Xiaoyue still knew that after all, she was not a government official, so she couldn't overdo some things.
When Magistrate Nalin heard that they were criminals sent by Sanhuangguan, he went to court and gave them a good beating. The dozen or so refugees were beaten until they honestly confessed all their crimes.
Naturally, there was not only an attempt to loot the Taoist temple, but also the evil deeds of murder and arson during the exile!
Since King Zuo had given the power of final judgment to various places, Magistrate Lin made the judgment in court and was beheaded at the city gate three days later!
For this reason, County Magistrate Lin specially sent police officers to various refugee gathering points and ordered the elders and leaders among the refugees to come to the city gate to watch the execution!
You must know that County Magistrate Lin is extremely troubled by the public security chaos caused by the influx of refugees from various places.
Many gentry and village elders have come to complain and demand that the refugees be driven away.
But County Magistrate Lin also knew that the refugees could not be driven away.
These refugees have traveled a long distance to get here. If you drive them away, you will let them die.
When people are forced to die, they often choose to resist violently.
Magistrate Lin also didn't want to be given an incompetent comment on next year's evaluation that would inspire public riots.
So he thought of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
As long as the elders and leaders among the refugees are afraid of the majesty of the government and the law, then even if the refugees want to cause trouble, these elders and leaders will naturally control the situation.
After half a year of research and exploration, Fang Xiaoyue finally found a way to combine the spiritual energy in his body with the talisman, so that he could incorporate the talisman into his body, receive the spiritual energy day and night, and improve his strength.
Of course, there are limits to this.
There are not many talismans that can be bound to each person's body, especially at the beginning, only one talisman can be bound.
This gave Fang Xiaoyue a difficulty in making choices that she hadn't had in a long time.
To put it simply, the types of talismans he developed are quite large.
But low-level talismans are definitely not suitable for binding.
After all, the talisman is bound to the body for a lifetime. Although the talisman will continue to absorb spiritual energy and improve after being bound and integrated into the body, if its initial level is too low, it is a waste of time.
To be precise, there are currently eight types of talismans suitable for him to bind.
Golden armor talisman, a large-scale defense talisman.
Thunder talisman, an attack type talisman.
Golden body talisman, single defense talisman.
Wind and rain talisman, climate change talisman.
Flame talisman, attack type talisman.
The Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman, a summoning talisman, is much more advanced than the Yellow Robe Strong Man Talisman.
Spring Breeze Talisman, healing type talisman.
Jingzhe Talisman, summoning type Talisman.
These eight kinds of talismans include various types of talismans.
In the end, Fang Xiaoyue chose to bind the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman.
