The years when I explored the fairyland

Many things are so strange!

The nine counties of Tianyuan Prefecture have been almost destroyed by disasters. In the year of severe drought, locust plagues were everywhere, people were like ants, cannibalism, evil cults were rampant, and countless killings were committed.

But as long as the beggars did not step into Chishui Prefecture, everyone seemed to be able to ignore it.

You mess around, I live mine, we are not the tyrant sect, do we need to be responsible for the garrisoned land? !

But when the beggars left the territory of Tianyuan Prefecture and stepped onto the land of Chishui Prefecture, the nature of the matter changed completely!

The eight counties, the eight garrisoned sects, even the farthest Yuquan Valley in Lanshui County, all moved.

Chu Zhou and his men reacted quickly, but the fastest one was not Xuanzhen Temple, but Bingxi Sect in Hongde County.

Xuanzhen Temple had just set the tone when the envoy of Bingxi Sect came to visit and wanted to discuss with Xuanzhen Temple about joint defense against the enemy.

After all, it was a big sect that wanted to save face, so they were too embarrassed to even say "ask for help" and had to choose a polite way of saying it.

But that was not the end. There was also an order from the government. The Ministry of War urgently dispatched the Tianquan Army, the only regular army in Tianquan County, to go to Hongde County to quell the rebellion!

In Ji Mingqian's words, this must be the order of his good elder brother, who wanted to weaken the strength of Tianquan County and make him uncomfortable.

Of course, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The Tianquan Army's base was near Anyue City, which was very far from Hongde County.

Moreover, the army was going to set out, and it needed food, supplies, horses, and carts...

There were too many things to ask for, and even if they were all ready, it was normal for so many people to move slowly together?

Anyway, Chu Zhou's order was to walk slowly and reach Yanshui City when needed.

What?

You ask why the Tianquan Army should listen to Chu Zhou?

Just kidding, not to mention that General Xuanwei of Tianquan Army was from Husha Pavilion, and was a direct disciple of Kou Wulie, the last Pavilion Master of Husha Pavilion.

Most importantly, do you think he is willing to go to Hongde County to die?

As for the request for help from Bingxi Sect?

It is impossible to give people, but Chu Zhou still provided a batch of medicinal materials, food and weapons.

After all, he also hoped that Hongde County could resist longer, and it would be best to directly stop the Qihuo Army.

And the envoy of Bingxi Sect, the inner door elder Chu Haosheng, was quite satisfied, because he also knew that this trip was really embarrassing.

It was good enough to harvest some supplies without any empty talk.

In addition, Xuanzhen Temple and Bingxi Sect reached a trade agreement and opened a trade route to buy and sell large supplies such as weapons and food.

Of course, it is not possible to give it for free, but if you spend money to buy it, I still have reserves!

Then a channel of communication between the two sides was opened, and specially trained goshawks went back and forth to convey the latest intelligence.

This is Zuoqiu Tong's request. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Information on the battlefield, especially timely information, is the most important.

Chu Zhou exchanged a manual of the "Xuanzhen Temple Secret Martial Arts Principles". It can be seen that both sides are quite satisfied.

Of course, all of the above can only be regarded as trivial matters. What Xuanzhen Temple is most anxious about now is the internal integration of Tianquan County.

It is worth mentioning that because Tianquan County has changed its owner several times, from Yunya Sword Sect to Wenxiang Temple, and then to Xuanzhen Temple, there is also Wanxiangzhai to make trouble in the middle.

One of the results caused by this is that the government is at a loss!

As the saying goes, a new emperor has new ministers. Basically, if the garrison sect above is changed, a group of county governors and major officials must be changed.

It is not a requirement for the garrison sect, but the Dayun Dynasty has its own assessment system. During the term of office, if too many people in the jurisdiction die, they will be dismissed.

And the replacement of the garrison sect cannot be stable, and life and death is the norm.

In this process, if no more than a thousand or eight hundred people died, it would be considered safe.

With this "political achievement", it is normal to lose the position!

In general, things like the replacement of the guarding sect, under normal circumstances, will not happen once every few decades or even hundreds of years.

If it really happens, then you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Then what?

Let's look at Tianquan County. In just a few short years, it has changed hands several times, and each time it changes hands, a group of people are replaced.

Until now, no one is willing to take up a post here.

Everyone has studied hard for ten years, and has struggled in the officialdom. It is not easy to get to a high position, but before they can enjoy it, they are removed?

Who can be happy!

The result is that now, Baisha City has become a veritable county city of Tianquan County.

Although Ji Mingqian is still a county magistrate, his accumulated merits are enough. The development of Baisha City is obvious to all, and it has already reached the scale of a county city.

Even in terms of prosperity, it is even more prosperous.

The most important thing is that there is the full support of Xuanzhen Temple, so naturally no one dares to sing a different tune.

That is, the eldest prince of Zhou Wangfu, Ji Mingqian's elder brother, played tricks in it and suppressed the issuance of the appointment letter. Otherwise, Ji Mingqian would have been the governor of Tianquan County, and Wang Fugui, the county lieutenant, would have been promoted to the next level.

Of course, even so, the documents sent by Ji Mingqian were unimpeded in Tianquan County, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

And when you are powerful, others will take your existence seriously, so the current King Zhou finally remembered his son.

Not only did he write letters to keep in touch, but he also opened up some royal powers to Ji Mingqian.

For this reason, the eldest prince of Zhou Wangfu was furious and smashed countless things.

Of course, these are all later stories. For now, whether it is the Jianghu system or the Tianquan County government system, it can be said that they all listen to Xuanzhen Temple.

It is also with these as a foundation that it is possible to cultivate internal military preparations and integrate Tianquan County.

But this is not an easy task. There are too many aspects that need to be planned and considered, and someone has to implement, execute, supervise, and correct them.

After thinking about it, Chu Zhou gathered Zuo Qiutong, Ji Mingqian, Fan Zhong, and Hao Songqing together to form a five-person command organization specifically for this war.

According to his idea, Zuo Qiutong is responsible for military affairs, Ji Mingqian is responsible for government affairs, Fan Zhong is responsible for logistics, and Hao Songqing is in charge of coordination and filling in the gaps.

As for Chu Zhou himself, he will make the final decision!

Then Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu, Wei Fangjie, Wei Jinkui, Cao Bao, Wang Fugui and others will be the executors of specific affairs to implement various requirements and government affairs.

In other words, this is the highest wartime institution, which needs to be responsible for the entire Tianquan County. Chu Zhou also named this temporary institution, called the Foreign Warfare Armament Command.

Do you feel a little awkward?

Fan Zhong and the other four all thought so, and even strongly opposed it. Chu Zhou was annoyed by them and had no choice but to change the abbreviation.

It's called the Military Affairs Office!

Well, there are many people who oppose this name, but who says Chu Zhou is the boss?

Once he made the decision, everyone could only pinch their noses and accept it!

Of course, the name is secondary, and the pre-war preparation is the main thing, but this is really not easy. There are so many things to do and so many things to deal with.

It was also at this time that the first news, or bad news, came from the channel agreed by the Ice Rhino Sect.

——Outside Shisong City, the 100,000 troops of the Qihuo Army led countless disaster victims to attack the city. After ten days and ten nights, countless casualties, they finally broke into the city, and experienced three days of street fighting, and finally took the city.

However, the Qihuo Army commander was furious and issued an order to massacre the city.

The whole city was massacred and the swords were not put down for three days.

As a result, Shisong City, one of the most prosperous cities in Chishui Prefecture, was reduced to ruins. When the news spread, there was an uproar!

The second update is a bit short, there is not enough time, please forgive me!
