Chapter 1299: The Southern Barbarian Rebellion
Twilight fell, the setting sun was like blood, and the west was dyed a bright red, as if the blood of the gods was spilled all over the ground.
The East Lake Project Area is about to be completed. With his official robe tucked around his waist and his sleeves rolled up, Zhu Pingan joins the people in carrying bluestones to reinforce the lake embankment. This is the last 300 meters of the lake embankment. Once this section of the lake embankment is reinforced, the East Lake Project Area will be completed.
"Report!!!!!!! County Lord! Something bad has happened!"
A servant with disheveled hair and blood on his body kicked the horse's belly desperately, while galloping, shouted.
Very fast! The sound of horse hooves was like a violent storm, and the dust behind them was flying, raising a cloud of yellow sand.
"Master, be careful." Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang and others instinctively stood in front of Zhu Pingan to prevent accidents.
"It's He Xiaoer!"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the person coming. He Xiaoer was a young man who had the courage to defend the city against the Japanese. He later signed up and was hired as a county government officer. , was an honest and diligent man, and Zhu Pingan had a good impression of him, but why was He Xiaoer covered in blood at this moment? ! The so-called big thing is bad, what happened? !
"County Lord!" He Xiaoer saw Zhu Ping'an and pulled the reins hard, causing the horse to slow down. However, he was exhausted and fell off the horse. He fell heavily to the ground and followed the new path. The built lake embankment has been rolling down.
In the direction where He Xiaoer rolled, there was a piece of bluestone that had not yet been processed. If it collided with it, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Save people quickly." Zhu Pingan shouted hurriedly.
Liu Dadao stepped forward quickly in response, his steps were like flying, he turned over the boulder, and rescued He Xiaoer at the critical moment.
"He Xiaoer, how are you? What happened?!" Zhu Pingan quickly stepped forward, squatted down and asked.
“Ahem.”
He Xiaoer wanted to report anxiously, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned red and purple.
"No hurry! No rush!" Zhu Ping'an helped He Xiaoer breathe easier with his hands, turned and shouted below, "Water, bring water."
Someone came from below He ran up and handed him a water bag. Zhu Pingan took it and gave He Xiaoer a sip of water.
He Xiaoer took a sip of water and swallowed the bloody phlegm stuck in his throat. As soon as he could breathe, he hurriedly reported to Zhu Pingan: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The Nanman Miao people rebelled, and they attacked They destroyed the Southeast Flood Refuge Area, robbed three thousand stones of food stored in the flood refuge area, and also robbed a large number of refugees."
"What? The Nanmanzi rebelled again! ? ”
"Oh my god, why are these barbarians who have killed thousands of people come down the mountain again! These barbarians are ten thousand times more terrifying than the Japanese pirates! They drink human blood and eat human flesh! How can the refugees who were taken away have a way to survive!"
“I Dear mother, why are the damned Nanman rebels again! What should I do? Do you still remember the Nanman Miao rebellion five years ago? The rebellion was over, and people were killed by the Nanbarbarians. He died, and most of the guardsmen were killed and injured. "
"Don't say it, it's scary to think about it. That time the Nanmanzi came down the mountain to rebel, it was like a plague of locusts, leaving no grass in their path. The whole village suffered, and the county seat was almost destroyed. "
When the people in the Donghu Work-for-Relief Project Area heard about the rebellion of the Nanman Miao people, their faces turned pale with fear. They were even more frightened when they heard about the rebellion of the Nanman Miao people than when they heard about the Japanese pirates' siege. The fear increased several times.
The Nanman Miao people rebelled! !
After hearing He Xiaoer's report, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be shocked. When I entered the government of Jingnan, I had heard that there were five major harms to Jingnan: the first was corrupt officials, collusion between officials and bandits, collusion between officials and businessmen, and collusion between government and mines, preying on the people; the second was the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians and the people suffered; the third was the invasion of mountain bandits. , the four dangers are pirate attacks, and the five dangers are Japanese pirates massacre and plunder. The rebellion of the Miao descendants of the Southern Barbarians is the second most serious harm, even more harmful than bandits and Japanese pirates!
It’s just that he has been in charge of Jingnan for a short time, and he is busy with Japanese pirates, fighting floods, etc., and there has been no movement from the Nanman Miao people, so he has ignored it. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Southern Barbarian Miao descendants actually rebelled! They broke through the southeast flood refuge area and robbed not only food and grass, but also a large number of refugees and civilians!
Good!
Well done! Just before I take office, I can eliminate this harm for Jingnan! Zhu Pingan's eyes were firm.
"He Xiaoer, you have done a good job, and I have already heard the news. You are recovering from your injuries, and I will do the rest."
Zhu Ping'an patted He Xiaoer's arm with approval and ordered the people below to take good care of He Xiaoer.
"There is no need to worry, fellow villagers. As long as I am here, I will ensure that all fellow folks are safe!"
Zhu Ping'an calmly stood up and looked confidently at the panicked people below. The people shouted loudly.
Zhu Pingan's confidence and calmness infected the people below, and the people calmed down from their panic.
Yes, we have a county magistrate. If the county magistrate can drive away the Japanese pirates, he will definitely be able to put down the rebellious Nanman Miao descendants!
"Liu Dianli, this place is left to you. Everything is as before. Wang Lizheng, Zhang Lizheng, Xia Lizheng, Tao Lizheng, you assist Liu Dianli. After building the lake embankment, gather everyone to return to the flood refuge area and settle down. Fence the camp, be on guard and protect yourself with big swords and big guns. Officer, follow me back to the county seat quickly."
Zhu Ping'an remained calm. After arranging the affairs of the engineering area one by one, he gave Liu Dianli and others a few words, and then took Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang with him. As well as dozens of police officers who had assembled, they quickly returned to the county seat.
On the way back, Zhu Ping'an sent several officers to different engineering areas and flood avoidance areas, and ordered them to summon all subordinate officials and officers to gather at the Jingnan County government office immediately without any mistakes.
The setting sun was like blood, and Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao and his party returned to Jingnan County in a blood-red afterglow.
The county government has received the news, and Han Dianli and other subordinate officials are as anxious as ants on a hot pot at the county government.
"Your Majesty, the Miao descendants of the Southern Barbarians have rebelled."
After Zhu Ping'an rushed to the county office, Han Dianli and others seemed to have found a backbone and quickly came forward.
"I already know." Zhu Pingan ordered as he walked, "Zhang Dianli, you lead people to open the treasury and take out all the soldiers, armor and equipment; Qian Dianli, you lead people to open the warehouse and count the thirty thousand stones. Load the grain and fodder into the carts for later use; Liu Dianli and Han Dianli, you two will take the people and quickly gather a thousand young and strong people; Sun Dianli, you draft an official document in your name and announce it to the people of the county."
Zhu Pingan's orders were issued one after another, strategizing and orderly, Zhang Dianli and others were ordered by Zhu Pingan Feeling calm and calm, they calmed down under Zhu Ping'an's strategizing orders and accepted the orders one by one.
After Zhu Pingan came back, the county government seemed to have a brain. Soon, the entire county government was mobilized by Zhu Ping'an, each performing their duties and quickly preparing. (End of chapter)
