Chapter Thirty-Nine: Slaughter Towards The County Town

  In June, 95% of the towns and townships in Jianning Prefecture and Shaowu Prefecture had entered a state of autonomy, achieving the situation of rural areas surrounding cities.

  Zi Nong frequently carried out activities in various towns, such as distributing fertilizers, high-yielding rice varieties, providing free medical treatment, and visiting the elderly and widows. Under these measures, the Bao An Tuan quickly gained the support of the people in northwest Fujian.

  For ordinary people, as long as the army does not harm them, they will all support it. The security team is undoubtedly the most strict in terms of discipline.

  Since the establishment of the Security Team, more than 20 people have been shot dead for committing crimes.

  In the past, when the security team was small, it was still okay, after all, Xia Jun was watching over them personally. However, as the army expanded in scale, some violations of military discipline began to appear, but they were all shot dead in time.

  The role of the propaganda department is very large. The common people know the policies of the security team, and once they are bullied to the head, they immediately go to report the case.

  So it's unlucky for those local tyrants, with the backing of security teams, those local tyrants are being sued one by one, and it's also the propaganda department's credit that ordinary people dare to report them.

  In addition, the security team also started repairing roads for each township, which made the people of each township very happy.

  The common people can feel the goodness of the security team, and the morale of the people is slowly rising.

  Xia Jun can view the people's sentiment index through the people's sentiment system in the system, and this grading can be viewed at the township level. Xia Jun judges whether a place is chaotic or not, one of the important criteria is to look at the people's sentiment index.

  If it's said that the people's satisfaction index has declined, then local officials must be messing things up. If the people's satisfaction value doesn't rise for a long time, it's very likely that local personnel are not doing their job.

  For these two types, Xia Jun will conduct a survey by name, regardless of whether any problems are found. The personnel in these two categories will be cut off and replaced with new personnel to local administration.

  By June, the population of Xia Jun's territory had reached 10.3 million, and the people's satisfaction value had increased to 2.6. The reason it didn't reach a full score of 5 was that many towns had only recently been incorporated into the autonomous region, and things like free medical care and road construction hadn't reached them yet.

  Such a large-scale autonomy also attracted the attention of the Qing government, and some local officials began to report on the situation in western Fujian. However, these reports did not attract much attention because the Qing government already had an autonomous policy at that time, and civilian militias were everywhere.

  June passed in the blink of an eye, and on July 1st, Xia Jun received a terrifyingly high number of points from the system. Although it was said that compared to the high-tech exchange prices in the system, the price was pitifully low, but with nearly 2.7 million points, Xia Jun still felt like he was a nouveau riche.

  The people's hearts are indeed the king's way, and we must continue to increase investment.

  At this time, the Military Intelligence Bureau personnel in Jian'an County sent a telegram, and Li Shilin returned.

  "It seems I have to go propose myself." Xia Jun thought, letting the guard call You Zhengbin over. As for proposing and that sort of thing, You Zhengbin was more experienced.

  As a young Xiucai, he was very popular in the local area and would be invited to attend or host various events such as weddings and funerals. However, these Xiucai would gradually lose their popularity with age and the emergence of new people.

  "Wow, Captain, you're going to propose to the Li family?" Yu Zhengbin was extremely surprised, he didn't expect Xia Jun to find him for this matter, it was truly unexpected and surprising. He had heard Zhang Si Gou mention vaguely that the captain was secretly corresponding with Miss Li, who would have thought it would come to this?

  "Nonsense, you go prepare, I'll give you two days, and we'll go the day after tomorrow." Xia Jun said to You Zhengbin, "The betrothal gift can be set a bit higher."

  "I understand." You Zhengbin hastily said seriously.

  "Hurry up and get ready!"

  ……

  Li Shilin's activities in Fuzhou this time were relatively successful, and he successfully got in touch with Min-Zhe Governor-General Songshou. Songshou also attaches great importance to this former famous official merchant of Fujian.

  After all, both sides cooperate and both sides have benefits.

  As a high-ranking official, making money is not just about corruption, but also about colluding with merchants to reap profits.

  The one who facilitated the cooperation between the two parties was Song Shou's eldest son, Akdun. This eldest son had just lost his first wife and then married a sixth concubine, but after seeing Li Shiying's photo, he insisted on marrying Li Shiying.

  Li Shilin then collaborated with Songshou, and when Li Shilin returned to Jian'an County, Songshou's Aketon followed him to Jian'an in a hurry.

  On the same day, Li Shilin arranged for Songshou's eldest son to meet Li Shiying. As soon as Li Shiying saw that he was a Manchu, she got angry and slammed her teacup, turning around and going back to her room directly.

  "Little Piniang, just you wait until you enter my family's gate, I'll make sure to tame you properly." Akdun scolded loudly at Li Shijin for not giving him any face.

  Li Shilin had to persuade him in a gentle tone, but Akdun refused to give up and wanted to rush into Li Shirong's boudoir. However, the door was locked from the inside. Although Akdun did not manage to rush in, he still scared Li Shirong quite badly, who hastily ordered her maid to go and inform Zhang Si'ge.

  ……

  Xia Jun was just about to go to the county town to propose, but unexpectedly the phone rang. Xia Jun answered it and heard Zhang Si Gou on the other end saying hastily: "Captain, something's wrong, something's wrong."

  "What's wrong?" Xia Jun asked somewhat strangely, the sky hadn't fallen, what was there to be afraid of.

  "Miss Li just sent her maid out to tell me that a Manchu has arrived at their house, and her father wants to marry her off to this Manchu. The maid said he's the son of the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang," Zhang Si Dog hastily said.

  "Manchu! Damn it, that son of a bitch dares to have ideas about my daughter, you immediately send someone to monitor the Li Mansion, don't let that son of a bitch escape." Xia Jun heard this and his blood rushed up, he roared at Zhang Si, "I'll kill him in a moment!"

  "Four dogs understand." Zhang Si Gou replied, and then heard a loud bang on the phone, it hung up!

  ……

  The barracks were in an uproar at this time.

  A group of soldiers were rushing to the playground, dozens of trucks started and hundreds of three-wheeled motorcycles had already been ignited. A group of soldiers quickly got on the trucks and motorcycles.

  "Departure." Xia Jun sat on a motorcycle, holding a loudspeaker. With one order, the massive convoy drove out of the military camp and headed towards the county town from the flat cement road.

  The cement road in Xixiang has been repaired and trucks can now drive on it. In addition to transporting people, the trucks are also carrying a large amount of ammunition and supplies.

  The main force of a regiment has completed motorization and is equipped with the most advanced individual weapons.

  Xia Jun led the entire battalion to the North Gate, and directly opened it. The garrison at the North Gate was shocked by the arrival of this large fleet, and hastily closed the gate, looking nervously at the security team that appeared under the city.

  "Open the gate!" Xia Jun shouted into the loudspeaker, and the guards on the city gate were suddenly thrown into confusion.

  "If you don't open the door, I'll twist your heads off!" Xia Jun threatened. The Qing soldiers guarding the gate were immediately frightened and ran away, and the city gate slowly opened.

  As soon as the city gate opened, the convoy rushed directly into the urban area.
