Chapter 1158 Eliminating Hidden Danger
After the Taiping County Government Office was occupied by the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro, it became the Japanese pirates’ headquarters in Taiping County. The Taiping County Government Office was able to escape the damage, and due to the hasty retreat of the Japanese pirates, there was no time to set fire to it. Taiping County escaped the fire again. Apart from the mess caused by the Japanese pirates, it was basically intact.
After Zhu Pingan entered the Taiping County Government Office, he led people to clean the inside and outside of the County Government Office and used it as a temporary camp for the surviving people.
After more than an hour of inspection, each team found six Japanese pirates who had slipped through the net. These six Japanese pirates had infected wounds, were dying, and could not move. They were treated as burdens and abandoned in a broken house to wait. According to Zhu Ping'an's previous order, the patrol team pickled their heads with lime and burned their bodies.
After more than an hour of search and rescue, various patrol teams also rescued many surviving civilians, a total of 1,091 people.
This is a heartbreaking number, because before the Japanese invaders broke into the city, the county had a permanent population of 20,000.
Now there are less than 1,100 people left! Not even one out of ten!
After witnessing the Taiping tragedy with their own eyes, the young people admired Zhu Ping'an even more. If the county magistrate hadn't kept the Japanese pirates outside Jingnan County, otherwise they, the people of Jingnan County, would be as dissatisfied as the people of Taiping County. Save one.
Arrange the surviving people, clean up the county, and set up defenses. Because the Japanese pirates killed too many people in Taiping County, and the city was almost full of corpses. Zhu Pingan made plague prevention a top priority and directed everyone to bury the murdered people. , clean up the county streets Maintain sanitation and prevent plague-breeding environments; protect drinking water sources and strictly prohibit the drinking of raw water, which must be boiled before drinking to prevent diseases from entering the mouth; order the steaming of artemisia annua, mugwort and other plague-preventing herbs in hot water for everyone to use Boil water for bathing and maintain good personal hygiene.
Zhu Pingan is like a top, never having a moment to spare.
It wasn't until the sun set that Zhu Pingan finally had time to have lunch on the city wall.
After Zhu Pingan deployed the city wall defenses, he returned to the county government office. Liu Dadao came over with a county seal and reported to Zhu Pingan, "Sir, while cleaning the county government office, Ergouzi discovered the county government office in the latrine. The seal has been cleaned now."
After Liu Dadao finished his report, he showed the county government seal to Zhu Pingan.
The Taiping County Seal is made of copper, which has been oxidized over the years. It is dark and ugly and not worth much. The Japanese pirates did not like it. In order to humiliate the Ming government, they threw the county seal into the toilet. .
"Well, it is indeed the seal of Taiping County. Ergouzi has done a great job in retrieving the seal of Taiping County. I will reward him with ten taels of silver when he comes back."
Zhu Ping'an took a closer look and confirmed that it was the Taiping Immortal Seal. He couldn't help but nodded, with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth.
With this Taiping County Seal, the hidden danger of trying to steal credit for yourself is also eliminated.
Not only was the Taiping County Seal, a symbol of authority, recovered, but the procedures for Zhu Ping'an's aid to Taiping were also completed.
The regulations of the Ming Dynasty stipulated: "Local officials are prohibited from leaving their jurisdiction at will." During the Jiajing period, that is, ten years ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate issued a special administrative document: "Every local government official has local responsibilities. Cross-border greetings and visits are not allowed. This will hinder his duties. Anyone who violates this will be obeyed." Participate in impeachment as an official."
As the magistrate of Jingnan County, Zhu Pingan has local responsibilities as the parent official of Jingnan County and is not allowed to leave Jingnan at will. If Zhu Ping'an leaves Jingnan at will, he will break the law and will be impeached, and he will be impeached every time.
Give me a chestnut.
In the Song Dynasty, there was an official named Chen Houshan, who was a local magistrate in Xuzhou. This man was also a poet. He is an ardent fan of the great writer Su Dongpo, and can be said to be one of the craziest star-chasers in ancient times. One day, Su Dongpo was demoted to Hangzhou as an official. When Chen Houshan, who was an official in Xuzhou, heard about it, he left Xuzhou and went to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province to wait for Su Dongpo, just to meet his idol Su Dongpo. In the end, he got his wish and met Su Dongpo. However, great joy brought sorrow. After Chen Houshan's colleagues heard about it, they reported Chen Houshan to their superiors. In the end, Chen Houshan was dismissed from his official position.
Zhu Ping'an left Jingnan County, his jurisdiction, to aid Taiping County. There was a hidden danger of leaving his jurisdiction privately.
However, the laws do not always prohibit leaving the jurisdiction. It is possible to leave the jurisdiction under certain special circumstances. For example, if the county magistrate is pursuing and arresting Jiangyang bandits, he can temporarily leave the jurisdiction.
According to the principle of the Ming Dynasty Law: "Heavy weights are used to show lightness, and light lifting is used to show importance". Japanese pirates are much more harmful than Jiangyang thieves. Pursuing and arresting Jiangyang thieves can temporarily leave the jurisdiction, so naturally, chasing and arresting Japanese pirates can leave the jurisdiction. .
This group of Japanese pirates invaded our Jingnan jurisdiction, but I led the crowd to repel them, and fled to Taiping County to commit crimes.
Therefore, I, Zhu Pingan, have jurisdiction, so I led my troops to Taiping County to fight against the Japanese!
However, there are certain hidden dangers if someone who is willing to cling to the words of the law and does not interpret it according to the principle of "lifting heavy weights to show lightness, lifting lightness to show weight". Those who are pursuing criminal robbers can temporarily leave their jurisdiction, but Japanese pirates are not criminal robbers and are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction without permission.
Now, with this Taiping County Seal, Zhu Pingan can eliminate this hidden danger.
Zhu Pingan laid out pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the county office hall. Holding the brush in his left hand, he wrote a letter to the magistrate of Jingnan County, that is, himself, in the name and tone of the magistrate of Taiping County, requesting to send troops to rescue Taiping County. A letter of request for help.
After finishing writing, Zhu Pingan dried the ink, used a piece of cloth to hold the Taiping County seal, dipped it in ink pad, and stamped the Taiping County seal on the letter asking for help.
The reason why Zhu Pingan used a cloth to cover the Taiping County Seal was because the county seal was taken out of the toilet. Although it had been washed several times, a faint smell could still be smelled. The urine smelled so bad that Zhu Pingan had to use a cloth to pad it.
After the ink pad was dry, Zhu Pingan placed the letter for help close to his body.
With such a letter from Wang Zhixian requesting to send troops for rescue, it was justifiable for him to rush to Taiping County to help.
No one can impeach yourself.
This great achievement of regaining Taiping County fell into his own hands without any further trouble.
"Daqian, make the porridge thicker and steam the rice more for dinner so that everyone can have enough to eat."
"Daqian, Sledgehammer, you have to work harder, we will make it at night Good patrol, if you encounter someone who takes advantage of the chaos and commits crimes, you will be severely punished."
"Fathers. Folks, the Japanese pirates have been driven away, so you can rest assured. Daxe, it’s autumn and it’s getting cold at night. Please bring some people to collect more quilts and try to get one quilt for three or five people.” br>
After Zhu Pingan personally collected the letter asking for help, he left the county government office to direct the arrangements for the resettlement of the people and other matters.
He was busy until the moon was bright and the sky was full of stars. Then Zhu Ping'an sat down among the people and took a rest. (End of this chapter)
