Chapter 333： Swept Shenzhou

After Suzaku broke through the city gate, the defense line of Baisha City also collapsed. This collapse comes from both psychological and physical pressures, so that once the collapse occurs, it can no longer be reversed.

In short, everyone on the wall was frightened.

What they saw was a "steel monster" that was not afraid of bows, crossbows, knives, and guns, and at the same time possessed powerful and strange powers. Even an agitated person couldn't match a round. People screamed and threw down their weapons, jumped off the wooden frames, and fled in all directions. When Qiuyue and others arrived, the north gate had become an unguarded empty gate.

In order to prevent the enemy from transferring criminal evidence and destroying documents and materials, Ning Wanjun chose to let the infantry team that entered the city guard the north gate and reorganize the team, and he took the organ animal team straight to the county government to seize the center of power.

On this day, the residents living near the main street heard the sound of the tremor of the big earthquake-they were one after another, heavy, as if thousands of troops poured into this remote town.

When rushing to the gate of the county government, Ning Wanjun unexpectedly saw a group of people in white cloth standing on the stone steps. Among them, the one standing in the front was honestly bowing his head, with a thick hemp rope tied to his wrist.

She suddenly realized that this person was the magistrate of Baisha County, and that he was dressed in accordance with the requirements of the letter-taking off his official robes, binding his hands, and surrendering to the Jinxia Affairs Bureau.

...

The next thing is logical.

When Qian Zhixian found that the visitor turned out to be Princess Guangping, he knelt down in his court, snot and tears expressing remorse, expressing that he had no eyes and didn't know good or bad, so he asked His Highness to forgive him.

Ning Wanjun asked him to confess all the concealed murders in Baisha City and who was behind the crimes. The more confessed, the more likely he is to save his life.

"Chen...No, Cao Min absolutely knows everything, and can say nothing!"

Qian Zhixian naturally agreed.

He knew very well in his heart that he was not afraid that there would be no firewood. Even if the other party is a princess, this behavior is absolutely intolerable. When the news reaches Gyeonggi, the ruling and the opposition will be angry. As long as one can survive, there will be a day of rehabilitation.

Ning Wanjun waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take him into the palace dungeon.

The commissioner of the bureau is responsible for the interrogation. She has no interest in wasting time on such people.

"The maidservant thought his mouth would be a little harder." Qiuyue sneered, "I didn't expect the clothes to soften so quickly."

"Without that official robe, he is no different from the gangsters who are walking on the street. It seems indispensable, but in fact it is timid and greedy." Ning Wanjun said casually, "The only difference is that power is created in his hands. The damage is far greater than the gang."

"Right," the princess changed the subject, "has the result of this actual combat drill come out?"

This is what Ning Wanjun cares most about.

"The enemy's losses are still being counted, but our army has no casualties. It can be said that it was a complete victory."

"Not even injured?"

"Yes," Qiuyue was also quite excited about this. "The new equipment of the mechanization bureau does have some...well..." She thought for a long time before she came up with a word, "...terrible. If you change to an enemy To use them, the maidservant can't think of a good way to deal with it."

No one was injured, it is almost impossible to appear on the battlefield.

Even if the enemy is weak, the spears and arrows shot can still kill people. Whether a battle is victorious or not is often compared to the ability of both sides to withstand casualties. Before one party is completely defeated, the casualties on both sides should rise equally.

If it is a siege battle, there will even be a situation where the loss of the final winner greatly exceeds the defender, which is why all generals do not like to actively attack Fortress.

Although the defensive force of Baisha City was weak this time and the willpower of the private army was low, it was ultimately a siege war. It is inevitable that someone hits an arrow during the approach, or is hit by a rock or hot oil. Ning Wanjun estimated the loss in advance to be between 20 and 50 people, but it turned out that there was not even a single wounded person.

This is the first time she has fought on the battlefield.

No wonder Xia Fan talked about the coordinated operations of organ beasts from time to time.

The actual combat proved that new equipment and new tactics have improved the strength of the army to an unprecedented level.

Ning Wanjun faintly realized that these things will change the form and situation of the entire war in the future.

...

Three days later, Xia Fan also received a report from Baisha County.

With the cooperation of the army, the newly stationed Baisha Affairs Bureau completed the initial rectification of the city with extremely high efficiency. There were more than 100 cases reorganized, of which 87 were unjust cases with conclusive evidence. Among them, the most involved in the case, Fei and Tang, have been arrested, and more than 300,000 taels of silver have been seized from their homes. , The food has filled several warehouses.

After interrogation, those involved in the homicide of the Fei family and the Tang family were sentenced to hanging, and the others were sentenced to ten to twenty years of hard labor. The magistrate and his party members were saved from one death because of their merits, but they also had to perform hard labor for 20 years and were deprived of all illegal gains.

This is exactly what Xia Fan wanted to see.

After Baisha City was acquired, the territories south of Shenzhou would be brought under the control of Jinxia. While the latter is expanding its power, it can quickly fill up its financial deficits. The newly expanded army has also been fully tempered. There is really no more cost-effective business.

What's more, Baisha City also has mineral resources, mainly hematite, with a small amount of iron pyrite and gold as the associated ore. Although the output and scale are low, it can temporarily alleviate Jinxiacheng's dependence on metal resource imports.

In addition, during the investigation, the Bureau also found two cases of internal staff malfeasance. They were only worried that the spread would damage their reputation. They have not been processed yet. They are only detained and Xia Fan’s opinions are sought in the report.

Corruption within half a month is not beyond Xia Fan’s expectation The fast-track cadres will inevitably have various problems. Only continuous education and iron-clad discipline can help. The team maintains centripetal force, and those who cannot adapt are eliminated.

Therefore, his reply is also very simple, not only to deal with it, but also to deal with it publicly, and list the crimes committed by these two people one by one for the reference of all the staff of the bureau.

In Xia Fan's view, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for internal education. The Bureau will never cover any official's dereliction of duty. Once the law is violated, the punishment they face will be heavier than ordinary people.

In addition, he gave two new instructions in the letter.

The first is to open the warehouse and release the grain to ensure that no one is hungry throughout the cold winter, so as to soothe the hearts of the people in Baisha with immediate benefits. It is also the most effective publicity for the bureau.

The second is to carry out a severe crackdown to eliminate the remaining black street forces and gang members to prevent these people from taking advantage of the gap in power to harm the local people.

Only by stabilizing order as soon as possible, can Baisha City resume its operation.

Ning Wanjun didn't stop there either. On the day she won Baisha City, she had already moved north and arrived at Anshen City a day earlier.
