Yin Wenjiao's tender heart turned over and over, thinking day and night, but Yang Lin didn't even know.
However, even if he didn't have to think about it, he could still understand that this Man Tang Jiao who was doted upon as a child was probably suffering a lot now.
It can only be said that Buddhism's plan is really not a son of man. It is full of black humor and absurdity, making people dumbfounded and feeling like they are falling into a sea of misery.
However, the world is a sea of suffering, and we can only hope for the next life.
Isn't this exactly their philosophy?
Just suffer.
Yang Lin has no consciousness of suffering, he just enjoys happiness.
He has been an emperor, a prince, enjoyed and fought hard. In his eyes, some trivial matters in Jiangzhou are not even troubles.
Just put a little thought into it and it will be handled properly.
Sima Chen Lin was appointed as a long history. In view of the well-intentioned warning from the other party when he first arrived, Yang Lin could not pretend to be ignorant. Ren Bao was a small group, and rewards and punishments were clearly the core.
As for Biejia and Sima, Yang Lin chose upright people with whom he had never been involved. Generally, such people live in poverty and are not valued by their bosses or close to their colleagues.
Of course, when it comes to new bosses, they may not always follow them blindly, but they always have a bit of unfashionable integrity.
It doesn't matter, Yang Lin actually doesn't need political officials to agree with him, as long as he sincerely serves the people.
In his view, the people are the foundation. No matter what you want to do or what you want to do, only people can have everything.
The primary purpose is, of course, to let all the people survive and live well.
Then, only these people can think about other things, such as offering incense and sincerely believing.
People who are always in suffering will only breed evil thoughts.
People who have always been in a state of peace and abundance will ask for help from outside without any hesitation.
However, those who move from suffering to peace and abundance are the people who know how to cherish and be grateful the most.
This is the faith that Yang Lin needs most.
By the way, Chen Lin is certainly talented.
There is a certain kind of person who is talented in poetry, but may not necessarily be talented in politics.
However, Chen Lin is a rare scholar who is also talented in politics. Yang Lin handed over the affairs and the other party immediately handled them in a clear and orderly manner.
The chaotic affairs in the three counties were quickly put into order under his handling.
There is only chaos among demons and ghosts, which no one can do anything about.
There is simply a feeling of inexhaustibility.
Most of the people from the Jiangzhou branch of the Demon Slayer Division are already dead.
Experts are scarce. Now, the person in charge, Gao Hongguang, can only barely protect himself and protect the Xunyang governance area from being too chaotic. He has no time to pay attention to the remaining Pengze and Duchang territories.
It's not like they didn't ask for help from above, but the land of Kyushu was in emergency and there was a serious shortage of manpower.
The above meaning is to recruit experts from nearby to help the living people, without any reinforcements.
Therefore, the situation in the two counties is now a mess, and there is no way to solve it.
…
Li Qing led 300 elite soldiers and went straight to Pengze County.
Before reaching the end of the field, I saw that the city wall had collapsed, there was silt and black soil everywhere, and the farmland, not to mention, had been flooded.
The people were in groups of three or five, shivering in the wind and rain. Most of them didn't even have a decent place to live, and they just held wooden sticks, forks and hoes to protect themselves.
Fighting to the death.
Occasionally, a monster with a fish head and human legs would emerge from the water, go around to the back where the crowd was gathered, spit out a wave of water, and drag away a few people.
It was tearing and chewing, but no one dared to pursue it.
Some people didn't even have the intention to resist. They just stared numbly, waiting for the fish head to be full.
And in the center of countless ruins of houses, there is a stretch of houses hundreds of feet long, guarded by soldiers.
Seven to eight hundred well-armed men looked like they were facing a powerful enemy, protecting a group of well-dressed nobles and confronting fish, shrimps, turtles and crabs, but no battle broke out.
"Sure enough, we are in danger, but I see in your Pengze County, apart from those gentry and officials, why didn't you send troops to protect the people, let alone fight to the death against those fish heads?"
Li Qing looked at Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Pengze County, with something wrong in his eyes.
Your protection of those officials and gentry is of no use, all the people will die, and the fish-headed shrimp demons will be fattened up, and even if you want to attack the county government office, a fierce battle will still be inevitable.
In this case, it would be better to fight to the death to protect the people from the beginning, and then select young people from among the people, concentrate their efforts in one place, boost morale, and protect the entire county.
It is simply the most stupid behavior to let monsters eat people in the hope that they will retreat when they are full and save their own lives.
"There are countless monsters from the Hongjiang Water Tribe. After killing one group, there will be another group. The most important thing is that there is also a ferocious black dragon. No one can fight it. If you can save the gentry in the city, it is already very good. .”
Wei Yuan sighed and said, "General, I don't know if he can fight against that evil dragon. If not, as long as he can protect the people in the county government from breaking out and going to Jiangzhou, it will be a great achievement."
"A great merit, in my opinion, is a great crime."
Li Qing turned to look at Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Pengze County, seriously, and said leisurely: "Master Wei is really talented. You kept those hundreds of people and left more than 200,000 people to fend for themselves. How dare you run away?" He went to the governor and cried about Peng Ze's crisis.
From my point of view, your county government office seems to have not been attacked. The soldiers around are just confronting each other. They have never seen the demon blood.
Whether he had gone through a series of hard battles, Li Qing could tell at a glance.
Among the countless people, there are heroic men who fight to the death and die together.
Although the remaining old, weak, women and children were crying, even though they were unarmed, they did not hesitate to fight to the death against the little Water Tribe monster.
However, hundreds of elite county soldiers remained stationary and guarded the area well from beginning to end. They also took turns to rest and were very leisurely.
"Things have their own priorities, and people have their own dignity. As long as we can keep the county's elite strength, we will have a future. This county has no choice but to do so."
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "There are only 800 soldiers. If they are scattered throughout the county, it will be easy for the monsters to defeat them one by one.
If a gentry official in the county does not take good care of him, he will be killed, and the consequences will be more serious. "
"Really? The consequences can be much more serious than hundreds of thousands of people being completely damaged."
Li Qing's eyes were a little cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Take it down, kill the Wei County magistrate in public, and order the 800 soldiers from the county government office to launch an all-out attack to wipe out the monsters."
As soon as she gave the order, the soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Wei Yuan fiercely, pinned him at the gate of the county government office, and cut off his head with a knife, without letting him say a word.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qing took action himself, killing more than a hundred soldiers who did not obey orders, and ordered them to rush throughout the county to protect the people. Anyone who was timid would be killed.
With the attack of the three hundred elite soldiers who had survived the fighting at the western border, the Hongze Shui Tribe finally stopped their offensive. They were killed so that the river turned red, and they gradually withdrew from the county.
"It's over. We pissed off that ink dragon and everyone died without a burial place."
Some of the gentry families who were driven out, holding swords, guns and wooden sticks in their hands, were trembling and groaning secretly.
Sure enough, after a day of fierce fighting, just before the whole county was about to be recaptured, a long shadow rushed forward with a roar, riding the wind and waves, and with a leap, it reached the mid-air and swam around.
The huge body, accompanied by the fierce wind and rain, attacked Li Qing, who was slashing the hardest.
"Ignorant boy, you dare to kill my subordinates, you will die."
The long snake hid in the low-hanging clouds and roared so loudly that it frightened the people in the county to the point where they felt weak and despair filled their eyes.
Li Qing scolded angrily, "A long worm dares to talk nonsense. You kill innocent people indiscriminately. The old dragon of Hongjiang doesn't care about you, and the court won't tolerate you."
With a kick of her feet, she flew straight into the air, her black halberd flying across the sky, fighting desperately with the black dragon.
After only fighting for a stick of incense, the dragon had the upper hand. Several scales were injured and the dragon's blood flowed. However, Li Qing's armor was broken, his halberd was bent, and he spurted out blood.
Although he refused to retreat, he could see that he was already beyond his capabilities, and it was very likely that he would be defeated and swallowed up after a while.
"We can't delay any longer. We must try our best to fight to the death. Even if we die, we must seriously injure the old dragon so that it will not dare to invade again."
Li Qing's body was filled with blood and energy, and he was about to blow himself up on the spot...
…
Riding far away, it was covered with dust.
Seeing the battle ahead, I was shocked. I let out a long breath, suddenly pulled out a picture scroll from my arms, spread it out, and held it above my head.
"Master Chen Guangrui, the governor of Zhuangyuan Gong, is here. How dare you, evil Jiao'an, act so recklessly?"
Holding the portrait, he galloped straight towards the battlefield while shouting curses, and the painting emitted colorful lights.
A majestic silhouette in red robes and black gauze could be faintly seen, as if about to step down from the painting.
A grand atmosphere gradually filled the entire Hongze County.
"Sir." Li Qing was exhausted and thought that he might die in this battle. It was a pity that he did not fully complete the young master's order, which was a bit regretful.
Turning around suddenly, he saw that the scrolls were all different and full of power, and he felt ecstatic in his heart.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
The black dragon was furious, and was about to use more force to crush Li Qing to death when he suddenly felt a sharp blade on his neck, and a chill filled his heart.
Now furious, Yun Zhong reached for his claws and clawed at the person who came, intending to smash the messenger and the portrait into pieces and swallow them into his belly.
"Monster, suffer death."
The portrait suddenly shone brightly, and a bright light flashed in everyone's eyes.
A figure with blazing flames and seven colors appeared in mid-air, holding a faint seven-color long sword, and slashed it down with one strike.
boom……
The sky was like a curtain, completely cut open, and it was as if one could see the strong wind, lightning and thunder.
The colorful sword light flashed past.
The body of the ink dragon screamed and leaped for a moment before a red line appeared on the side of its head and neck. The huge dragon head suddenly fell down, and blood spilled down like a waterfall.
The long, circling and swimming figure fell heavily to the ground with a snap, twitched for a while, and then stopped moving.
There was silence all around, and then there was laughter and crying again.
There were hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, weeping and kneeling down, looking at the figure in official robes shining with colorful light and shadow in the sky, kneeling down and crying.
The colorful figure nodded slightly, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qing, you are temporarily staying in Pengze to appease the people, eliminate the little demons, arrange production and farming, and do whatever is convenient for you."
"Yes, sir."
Li Qing was sincerely convinced and quickly bowed down.
Seeing that the figure had returned to the painting and there was no movement anymore, she stood up and looked at the messenger, "Zhang Tiedan, you arrived just in time, which portrait is it?"
Of course she recognized the messenger cavalry. He was one of the soldiers. She used to lead him. He was a very good scout cavalry and held the position of squad leader.
"General Qing, this time my subordinates have been traveling day and night, but they have achieved great success. You should write a letter and say some kind words."
He quietly added: "This is the portrait of the governor. Now where Xunyang is located, every household has invited a picture to worship him sincerely.
Once you are in danger, the scroll can protect you, slay demons, and eliminate illnesses. It is extremely effective. I will give you one here. "
As he spoke, he took out a thick scroll of paintings from his arms, with more than ten paintings in it. He took one out of it and offered it with both hands. "
Before Li Qing took it, he heard dozens or hundreds of shouts from all around.
"I want one too. Master Jun, please give me one too."
"No matter how much you want, no matter how much you want, no one can rob it from me."
"Please, Master Jun, consider the hardships of the people and give one to me."
There were also poor people who rushed forward like crazy. "
Seeing the pairs of red eyes staring at him, Zhang Tiedan was stunned.
