At this time, the Shadow Organization had completely angered the Inspection Mansion, Zhujian Villa, and even the entire martial arts world.
In order to find them, Lu Feng sent a large number of people to search in all suspicious places.
In order to find the shadow organization to avenge He Xuejiao's kidnapping, Zhujian Villa will find them at all costs.
Compared with the relatively peaceful atmosphere of Baima City, other places are not very peaceful.
In order to completely eradicate the banditry in Daxia and prevent them from posing a threat to the imperial court, He Wan mobilized domestic troops and began a large-scale purge.
It's just that the work didn't go very smoothly.
On the one hand, these bandits knew that they could not defeat the officers and soldiers, so they always hid in Tibet. On the other hand, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court usually lacked effective training, and now they exposed many shortcomings when they moved.
Moreover, there are also some generals who are just trying to make up for their mistakes. When the first two short-lived emperors were in power, they all bought their official positions with money.
It can be said that only part of the cancer in the court has been eliminated, and part of it is still in the army.
Even after taking office, He Wan worked hard to restore the corrupted legal system and reduce taxes on the common people, but it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of Daxia, which had been corrupted for many years.
After all, time is not enough.
However, He Wan also had an eye on the generals sent out to eliminate banditry.
As long as a problem is discovered, He Wan will know it immediately.
Although he is a woman, He Wan's iron fist and vigorous and resolute way of doing things are beyond the reach of the previous emperors.
Useless generals were directly dismissed from their posts by him, packed up and left. In order to gain credit, several generals lied about the news and even plundered people's money along the way.
These people were all beheaded by He Wan's order and replaced by others.
There are enemy countries outside who are watching covetously and sending troops to harass the border. There are bandits active in various places inside. He Wan is also very annoyed.
Moreover, the national treasury has always been in a weak state, and there is really not much money available.
If there was more money and food, He Wan could consider expanding the army.
But fortunately, Prime Minister Zhao Song came up with a way at this time, which was to let local officials organize their own militia and train them.
When there are no bandits invading, these militiamen are ordinary people. When there is danger, they are a force that can resist bandits.
He trained them by training officers and soldiers, and promised them that after joining the militia, their families would be exempted from corvee taxes for the next three years, and after the bandits were completely wiped out, they would also receive rewards from the court.
In ancient times, corvées and taxes have always been a heavy burden on the people.
Of course, many people would be willing to join the militia if they could be exempted from the corvée tax for three years.
For a time, militia teams across Daxia were being organized in an orderly manner.
Prime Minister Zhao Song's method was indeed feasible and greatly helped the court reduce the pressure of internal troubles.
Over at the border, a battle suddenly broke out at the border guarded by Yunqi General Liu Quan. Soldiers from the Hu Kingdom began to attack under the leadership of a group of generals.
The battle situation on the front line was extremely anxious, but three days later, good news came back to the capital.
Yunqi General Liu Quan not only thwarted Hu's attack attempt, but also shot and killed two Hu generals.
This battle boosted Daxia's morale.
Zeguo also launched an attack on Gutong Pass at the same time. The old general Yun Zhennan who was guarding the pass also defeated the enemy generals and forced the attacking enemy back thirty miles away from Gutong Pass.
There is good news on both sides, which makes the tense capital breathe a sigh of relief.
In Baima City, the Zhu family members also formed a militia team according to the decree issued by the capital.
Since the last time Qian Buyu eliminated a banditry around Baima City, he had gained a short period of peace.
Nowadays, because banditry is being targeted in various places, the rare tranquility here in Baima City is also broken because of the banditry.
But good luck did not always favor Daxia, and there were corrupt and incompetent officials everywhere.
After forming a militia, they were defeated by bandits due to poor command and timidity.
Therefore, as soon as the local situation improved, it ushered in a cliff-like decline.
Nowadays, the imperial court has no redundant generals who can lead the troops to eliminate the banditry. Even the generals who led the troops to eliminate the banditry before have encountered greater or lesser resistance.
For this reason, the imperial court urgently needed someone to lead troops to support those places that were invaded by bandits.
Inspecting the mansion, Lu Feng looked at the imperial edict that had just been sent from the capital.
The imperial edict asked Lu Feng to lead an army transferred from the local area to support those areas invaded by bandits.
The number of troops transferred was not large, but very small, with only a hundred people.
There is no way, this is already the manpower the court can free up.
"It seems that I can only let go of this aspect of martial arts." Lu Feng said.
He handed the imperial edict to Zhao Ying and said, "I'll let you take my place temporarily until I clear out the bandits roaming around."
Zhao Ying took the imperial edict, looked at it, and said with a smile: "I happen to be quite free, so it would be nice to have this errand to do."
Lu Feng nodded. Anyway, Zhao Ying already knew almost everything about the current situation in Baima City and the martial arts world. Moreover, her previous schemes in the palace were enough to show her ability, so Lu Feng felt confident leaving this matter to her.
Before leading the team to set off this time, Lu Feng specially sent a message to Tianxiang Pavilion, asking Leng Yu to dispatch two elders to guard the inspection house. They could also provide strong assistance to Zhao Ying when protecting the safety of the girls.
Only these one hundred soldiers were not enough, Lu Feng also brought two sisters in Qingyi and Suyi as his assistants.
Miao Feng wanted to follow, but was rejected by Lu Feng.
After staying in Baima City for so long, she has learned everything about big and small things from being with Lu Feng, and can help Zhao Ying with many things.
The night before departure, Lu Feng deliberately slept under a big quilt with the other girls, completely letting loose.
Early the next morning, he took two women in green and plain clothes on horseback and left Baima City with a hundred soldiers and rushed to the nearest Linzi County.
Although He Wan stated in the imperial edict that only one hundred people could be used by Lu Feng, he didn't say anything else. Lu Feng was left to act according to his discretion.
It is impossible to annihilate the bandits who defeated the militia with just these one hundred people. After all, there are many warriors among these bandits, and they must strengthen their own team.
Linzi County was chosen not only because it was close to Baima City, but also because the evil-doing bandits there were not strong but fat, which would allow Lu Feng to destroy them and increase his own strength.
Because the militia in Linzi County were defeated by bandits, officials there could only stick to the county day and night to organize the people to resist.
But unfortunately, it also failed.
