After Lu Fan took office, the political system in Western Xinjiang was basically formed, with most Qin officials and a small number of ethnic minorities serving.
There are many officials in all aspects. The main transfers of Qin officials include Qingyuan County Sheriff, Zhu Bo, Wuwei County Sheriff, etc.
The popularization of laws and a series of policies are also gradually advancing.
But it is not that easy to govern a newly recovered area, especially since this is still a military area.
Ordinary people certainly support the Qin Law because it is based on the people, but some people will always feel that it harms their own interests.
On this day, the Jirong tribe.
This is a small ethnic group with a population of about two thousand. They are not ordinary herdsmen. They are fierce by nature and have no fixed abode. They wander around the grasslands and make a living by plundering.
To put it bluntly, they robbed people everywhere. During the reign of the King of Xirong, this behavior was tacitly tolerated. After the Jirong swept across the country, they would also rob women from other tribes and sell them as slaves.
Now that the entire Western Xinjiang has belonged to the Qin State, the first government order is to strictly enforce the law. For the Ji Rong, there is no need to rob it in the future, and they themselves are unwilling to herd and work, so naturally they will have great resistance.
In the tent, the leader of Jirong was discussing countermeasures with a group of key members.
Someone said: "Not only can we not rob other tribes now, but we can't even sell slaves in the market. What should we do if things continue like this?"
"No, we can't go on like this." The leader of Ji Rong said with a cold expression: "Now is the grazing season. As long as we go out once, we can easily plunder a large number of fat sheep, which is enough for the second half of the year."
"But chief, under Qin's law, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will attract a blow from the government." Someone said slightly worriedly.
"What a bullshit government!" The leader of Ji Rong sneered: "Just like before, we will run away after the fight. The worst thing is, after robbing, we will hide in the mountains and old forests, and then come out to plunder after the storm has passed."
This is a small group, or a horse team, that lives purely on plunder.
They had been accustomed to a life of robbery before. They were allowed to live in peace and fend for themselves, but they were not willing to do so. In addition, although Qin's law was strict, it did not fall on them after all, so they would be somewhat lucky.
When everyone in the tent heard this, they first looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
Seeing that none of the key members had any objections, the leader of Jirong immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's raid the Yongdeng area! Remember, the speed must be fast, before they can react, grab it and leave!"
"Understood!" All the backbones responded in unison. This kind of thing was too familiar to them.
After the administrative division of Western Xinjiang, Yongdeng became a county, and a few days later, a certain village.
At this time, many officials sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs were traveling throughout Western Xinjiang to implement the household registration of the population. There was also an official here.
Outside the village, there are simple herdsmen driving their sheep.
In the village, an official was talking to an old man. Since many ordinary people did not understand the Chinese language, the officials would bring translators with them so that there would be no barriers to communication.
The old man was wearing a cloth scarf from an ethnic minority on his head. He was in good spirits and talked eloquently: "Before, our small tribe lived in this area without a specific name. Now, it has been changed to Boshan Village, which belongs to Yongdeng County is under the jurisdiction of the village, and I am honored to be elected as the village chief. If you have any questions, please tell me."
"Ah, then you are disturbing the elderly." The official smiled gently and said, "I wonder how many families there are in Boshan Village now."
"The whole village has ninety-three households and about three hundred people..."
Just as the old man said this, screams suddenly came from outside the village.
"The thief is coming! The thief is coming——"
"Run quickly——"
Under the screams, the villagers were in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of cavalry rushed directly into the village, mixed with billowing dust.
After entering, the speed did not slow down. As the war horse galloped, the machete was swung. It was to kill and chop everyone in sight.
Amidst the splatter of blood, villagers fell into pools of blood one after another, or were knocked away by war horses, and miserable howls could be heard one after another.
The old man immediately panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Sir...sir, please hurry up, the savage robbers must be here."
There were two guards around the official. Under such circumstances, they quickly protected him and wanted to leave. However, the cavalry was too fast. Before they could evacuate, they had already rushed towards them.
Miserable howls rang out, and the old man and the guard beside him were knocked over by the scimitar. War horses galloped past, and a large number of cavalry surrounded the officials and tightened their reins one after another.
Amidst the neighing of horses, the leader of Ji Rong rode away from the crowd and stared at the officials coldly.
No one is not afraid of death. Looking at this scene, the official swallowed involuntarily, and then said in a trembling voice: "You! Who are you!?"
No one said anything, the cavalry were all staring at his official uniform.
It was precisely because of this official uniform that the official was not killed immediately.
He was alone at the scene, surrounded by cavalry.
Seeing that no one responded, he swallowed again and bravely said: "I...I am an official of Daqin. You are invading the village. You are rebelling and causing chaos! You will lose your head!"
Hearing this, the leader of Jirong flashed a fierce light in his eyes. Without hesitation, he directly hit the horse's belly, spurred the horse forward, and raised the knife in his hand.
Blood sprayed out, and the officials fell to the ground howling miserably, dying on the spot. The blood stained the Qin official uniforms red.
This scene also shocked many people. One of the backbone's Adam's apple slipped and stammered: "Chief... leader, we, we killed the officials of the Qin State..."
Who is behind the officials? It is the State of Qin.
This is no joke, it will naturally have a deterrent effect.
As a result, the leader of Ji Rong shouted in a cold voice: "What are you afraid of! The thing has been done! What can we do to us! After plundering the supplies, evacuate immediately!"
"Yes, yes..." Gu Guan was still a little worried.
Boshan Village was raided by the Ji Rong, and all the men, women, and children in the village were slaughtered and looted.
The Jirong cavalry came and ran even faster. In the afternoon of the same day, the Yongdeng County Magistrate received the news. After verifying it, he was shocked. He dared not delay at all. He immediately reported it to the Shangguan and later forwarded it to the Governor of Xining. Mansion.
A few days later, Lu Fan received the official document and burst into action on the spot, shouting angrily: "This is unreasonable! At the beginning of the governance of Western Xinjiang, there was such lawlessness! This is a blatant challenge to the country's bottom line!"
In the study, there was another official who was reporting on the matter. Seeing that Lu Fan was furious, he couldn't help but bravely said: "Sir, why are you so angry?"
"Yongdeng County Magistrate reported that the Jirong tribe openly invaded the village, burned, killed and looted! Kill our Daqin officials!"
