Heavenly Dao Formula

After Suzaku broke through the city gate, Baisha City's defenses also collapsed. This disintegration comes from both psychological and physical pressures, making it irreversible once a rout occurs.

Simply put, everyone on the wall was terrified.

What they saw was a "steel monster" who was not afraid of bows, crossbows, knives and guns, but also possessed powerful and strange strength. Even a person with a sense of energy could not match it for a round. People screamed and dropped their weapons, jumped off the wooden frame one after another, and fled in all directions. When Qiuyue and others arrived, the north gate had become an empty gate with no one guarding it.

In order to prevent the enemy from transferring criminal evidence and destroying documents and materials, Ning Wanjun chose to let the infantry team that followed into the city guard the north gate and reorganize the team, while he led the agency beast team straight to the county government to seize the center of power.

On this day, the residents living near the main street all heard the sound of the earth trembling—they rose and fell one after another and weighed like a thousand pounds, as if thousands of troops had poured into this remote town.

When rushing to the gate of the county government office, Ning Wanjun saw a group of people in white cloth clothes standing on the stone steps, among them the one standing at the front obediently bowed his head, with thick hemp ropes tied around his wrists.

She suddenly realized that this person was the magistrate of Baisha County, and his attire was in accordance with the requirements in the letter—take off his official robe, bind his hands, and surrender to the Jinxia Affairs Bureau.

...

The next thing will be a matter of course.

After Qian Zhixian found out that the visitor turned out to be Princess Guangping, he knelt down in his own court, expressing his remorse with snot and tears, expressing his blindness and ignorance of good and bad, and only begged His Highness to spare his life.

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

"I...no, the grassroots absolutely know everything and say everything!"

Qian Zhixian naturally agreed.

He knew very well in his heart that if the green hills remained, he would not be afraid of running out of firewood. Even if the other party is a princess, this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable. When the news reaches Gyeonggi, the ruling and opposition parties will be outraged. As long as I can survive, there will be a day when I will be rehabilitated.

Ning Wanjun waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take him into the dungeon of the government office.

The commissioner of the Bureau is in charge of the interrogation, and she has absolutely no interest in wasting time on this kind of person.

"The servant girl thought his mouth would be a little harder." Qiuyue sneered, "I didn't expect to be softened so quickly."

"Without that official robe, he is no different from those gangsters who roam the streets. He seems to be powerful, but he is actually timid and greedy." Ning Wanjun said casually, "The only difference is that the power in his hands creates The destruction of the gang is far greater than that of the gang."

"By the way," the princess changed the subject, "Has the result of this actual combat exercise come out?"

This is what Ning Wanjun is most concerned about.

"The enemy's losses are still being counted, but our army has not suffered any casualties. It can be said that we have won a complete victory."

"Not even injured?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Qiuyue was also quite excited, "these new equipment of the Machine Building Bureau are indeed a bit... um..." She thought for a long time before she came up with a word, "...terrible. If it were the enemy To use them, I am afraid that the servant girl will not be able to think of any good way to deal with it."

It is almost impossible for such a thing to happen on the battlefield without a single casualty.

No matter how weak the enemy is, the spears stabbed and the arrows shot out can still kill people. Whether a battle can be won or not is often compared with the ability of both sides to bear casualties. Before one side is completely defeated, the casualties on both sides should increase by the same amount.

If it is a siege battle, there may even be a situation in which the loss of the winning side greatly exceeds that of the defending side. This is why all generals do not like to take the initiative to attack fortified cities.

Although the defense force of Baisha City was weak this time, and the willpower of the private army was low, it was still a siege battle in the final analysis. In the process of approaching, it is inevitable that someone will be hit by an arrow, or be hit by a rock or hot oil. Ning Wanjun estimated that the loss was between 20 and 50 people, but unexpectedly, there were not even a single wounded.

This was the first time she had been on the battlefield.

It's no wonder Xia Fan talks about the cooperative battle of mechanism beasts from time to time.

Actual combat has proved that new equipment and new tactics have improved the strength of the army to an unprecedented extent.

Ning Wanjun faintly realized that these things would change the shape 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. More than 100 cases have been sorted out, including 87 injustice cases with convincing evidence. Among them, Fei and Tang, who are the most involved, have been arrested and brought to justice, and more than 300,000 taels of silver have been confiscated from their homes. , Grain has filled several warehouses.

After interrogation, those involved in the murder in the hands of the Fei family and the Tang family were sentenced to hang, and the rest were sentenced to ten to twenty years of hard labor. The county magistrate and his party members were saved from death because of their meritorious service in reporting, but they also had to serve 20 years of hard labor and be deprived of all illegal gains.

This is exactly what Xia Fan wants to see.

After taking Baisha City into the bag, the territory in the south of Shenzhou is equal to being brought under Jinxia's control. While the latter is expanding its power, it can also quickly fill the financial deficit, and the newly expanded army has also been fully tempered. There is really no more cost-effective deal than this.

What's more, Baisha City also has mineral resources, mainly hematite, and the associated minerals are a small amount of pyrite and gold. Although the output and scale are low, it can temporarily relieve Jinxia City's dependence on the import of metal resources.

In addition, during the investigation, the Bureau also discovered two cases of malfeasance by internal personnel. They were only worried that the rumors would damage their reputation, so they did not deal with them for the time being. They just detained them and asked Xia Fan for their opinions in the report.

The phenomenon of corruption within half a month is not beyond Xia Fan's expectation. All kinds of problems will inevitably arise in the fast-track cadres. Only continuous education and iron-like discipline can keep the team's centripetal force and cannot adapt Those who are eliminated are eliminated.

Therefore, his reply is also very simple. Not only must it be dealt with, but it must also be dealt with openly, listing 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 up any official's dereliction of duty. Once they break the law, they will face heavier punishment than ordinary people.

In addition, he also wrote two instructions in the letter.

One is to open warehouses to release food to ensure that no one will go hungry throughout the cold winter, so as to appease the people of Baisha with straightforward benefits, and it is also the most effective publicity for the Bureau.

The second is to carry out a severe crackdown to eliminate the remaining underworld forces and gang members, and prevent these people from harming the local people while taking advantage of the transition of power.

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

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