There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

After walking for two days, the group arrived at Linxian County, which the Zhenming Army had just occupied.

Linxian County belongs to Fenzhou Prefecture in Shanxi. It faces the Yellow River in the west and faces Jiazhou in Shaanxi across the river. It can be said to be the gateway of Jiazhou.

Because of the need to welcome Lin Feng and handle Linxian affairs, Lin Jiakang, Guo Zheng, Jiang Yin and others had already come and were greeting him at the gate of the county town.

After Lin Feng greeted a few of them, they went to the Linxian County Government Office together.

Along the way, Lin Feng was thinking about the next arrangement for Lin County. The arrangement to attack Linxian this time was mainly to meet the needs of Taiyuan's rescue operation. But now that it has been conquered, whether or not to occupy it has become a question.

Occupation will of course disperse the Zhenming Army's currently small strength. Moreover, Linxian County was isolated to the east of the Yellow River and was easily besieged by Shanxi soldiers and horses.

But Linxian is the shield on the east side of Jiazhou. If the occupation is abandoned, the imperial army's front can directly threaten the city of Jiazhou.

Lin Feng has decided to move the Zhenming Army's Governor's Palace to Jiazhou. There is no shielding or buffer space around it, and it seems too dangerous.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Feng didn't think it through completely and decided to listen to the opinions of several major subordinates. After all, democracy should be promoted more.

Arriving at Linxian is within the control area of ​​the Zhenming Army. After crossing the Yellow River, we reach Jiazhou, which is already very safe. Lin Feng sent Fang Xiaoyu to escort the Feng family and Li family to Jiazhou to settle down first.

However, Feng Ziyi refused to go, saying that she had not seen her for a long time and wanted to stay with her in Linxian. Lin Feng also missed this little girl, so of course he left it to her.

After arriving at the county government office, Lin Feng held the first military and political meeting in the lobby after occupying Linxian County to discuss the next step of action.

"Zhou Rui, please tell us about the occupation of Linxian first." Lin Feng ordered.

"Okay sir, since the Ming army in Linxian County has very few defenders, only one hundred households and some strong squads from the county government, the defensive capabilities are very poor. We captured it in an hour, and we only suffered a few casualties. To a hundred people." Zhou Ruihui reported.

"Jiang Yin, what's the situation in civil affairs?" Lin Feng then asked.

"In general, it is similar to other counties in Shaanxi. The officials are corrupt and the people are struggling to make a living. However, unlike the previous counties we occupied, which were mainly corrupt in classics and history, the magistrate of Linxian County, Zhang Yue, was very greedy, and his money was mainly stolen.

The treasury of the county government office was empty, with no money or food. After interrogating several county government officials, they said that they had not received their salaries for the previous month. Therefore, the people in Linxian County were not active in defending the city. ” Jiang Yinhui reported.

When Lin Feng heard this, he realized that he was a typical poor temple rich monk, and he was so rich that the county magistrate could just kill this fat sheep.

"Hurry up and organize a public trial of County Magistrate Zhang, seize his property, screen the county government officials, and reissue salaries in a timely manner to win over people's hearts and stabilize the situation as soon as possible." Lin Feng explained.

"Yes!" Jiang Yin replied. He had been doing these things with Lin Feng since Fugu and was very familiar with them.

"This time we captured Linxian, mainly to cooperate with the rescue operation in Taiyuan. Now the rescue has been completed. Should we seize a batch of money and withdraw, or should we occupy Linxian for a long time? Everyone, please share your opinions." Lin Feng continued. asked.

Zhou Rui heard this and said: "Sir, I think it is better to occupy it for a long time. The main reason is that Linxian is the eastern barrier of Jiazhou. If Linxian is not occupied, the imperial troops can reach the Yellow River, seriously threatening the security of Jiazhou city. ."

"Then what if we are surrounded by the imperial army?" Lin Feng said.

"Sir, judging from the current situation, Shanxi's Ming Dynasty's armies are mainly concentrated in Datong and Ningwu City. There are also some soldiers and horses defending the city in Taiyuan City. There are not many troops that can be used for mobile attacks.

If we want to besiege Linxian, we will probably have to wait until the court forms a new counter-rebellion army. Even if this army does not besiege Linxian, we still need to deal with it. "Guo Zheng analyzed the enemy situation in front of him.

"That's true, but do you think it's a long-term occupation?" Lin Feng then asked.

"Yes, I think it is necessary to occupy Linxian now to expand the depth of defense." Zhou Rui replied.

"Sir, the original magistrate of Linxian County, Zhang Yue, was very angry with people in the county. As long as he is dealt with, we can quickly win over the people. It is also convenient to recruit troops from Linxian County, which should be beneficial to the defense of the city.

If we confiscate a bunch of money and then leave, the local people will definitely be disappointed, and it will be difficult to occupy them again in the future. "Jiang Yin also suggested.

"Okay, everyone has the same opinion, so let's stick to Linxian. Zhou Rui, first you will lead a combat battalion to temporarily station in Linxian." Lin Feng made up his mind.

"Understood!" Zhou Rui replied.

"Jiang Yin, you should seize the time to organize a public trial of the former county magistrate, clean up the backlog of cases, and win the hearts and minds of the people in the county as soon as possible." Lin Feng continued.

"Yes, I have already taken a preliminary look at the torture chamber's files. There are many unjust, false and wrong cases in this greedy county. A public trial can be organized tomorrow morning." Jiang Yin replied.

"We will organize a search of his property later. Only when we have money can we do things easily," Lin Feng said.

"clear!"

After the meeting, Lin Feng made a special trip to visit the warehouse of Zhang Yue's family, the magistrate of Linxian County. Good guy, this is the most greedy county magistrate Lin Feng has ever seen. The warehouse at home is bigger than the county government's public treasury, with more than 20,000 taels of silver alone, and other belongings piled up like mountains.

This county magistrate was even greedy for grain, and his family's warehouse actually had thousands of stones of grain piled up, filling the warehouse to the brim.

If you really want to be greedy for big money, you won't let go of small wealth.

Lin Feng considered that it would be more expensive to stick to Linxian, so he didn't take more. He took 10,000 taels for the space, and Jiang Yin checked the rest for public use. When I returned to the magistrate's house temporarily occupied by the county government, it was almost dark. Feng Ziyi and her maid Xiaohuan had already prepared dinner and were waiting for him to come over for dinner.

Hey, it’s different when there’s a woman at home. You’ll have hot meals to eat when you get home. Lin Feng immediately took his seat, and the three of them had dinner together.

After the meal, Xiaohuan naturally went to clear away the dishes, and Lin Feng brought Feng Ziyi to the room.

"Xiaoyi, you have worked hard during this time." Lin Feng hugged Feng Ziyi and said as soon as he entered the room.

"It's not hard. Even in prison, I firmly believe that Brother Lin will definitely come to save me. As long as you don't feel bitter, there is nothing hard." Feng Ziyi replied.

"Xiaoyi has so much confidence in me."

"Yes, after Brother Lin came to Fugu last year, I felt that you seemed to have changed as a person and suddenly became very capable, so I gained confidence."

"Xiaoyi, thank you for being consistent with me." Lin Feng looked at Feng Ziyi affectionately and said.

"Brother Lin!" Feng Ziyi said a little shyly when she was looked at like this.

When love is strong, you must take action. This is the rule of scumbag summarized by Lin Feng.

So he took advantage of Feng Ziyi's shy bowing her head and immediately kissed her in the morning.

The little girl's body tensed up nervously, then softened again, becoming hotter and hotter, as if she was holding a warm small stove.

"Brother Lin, no, we're not married yet." Feng Ziyi still wanted to resist.

"Life is short, we must cherish the present. How can secular etiquette restrain our love." Lin Feng was like a big bad wolf seducing the little sheep.

"I, I'm not ready yet..."

Before Feng Ziyi could finish her words, Lin Feng carried her onto the bed. Under a deep kiss, her defenses were completely lost, and Lin Feng succeeded again.

It's closed. Feng Ziyi curled up in bed, scratched Lin Feng's chest with her delicate white fingers and said, "Brother Lin, you are so bad now, where did you learn these tricks?"

"Hehe, you will know it when you see Xiaoyi." Lin Feng replied with a smile.

"Hmph, I heard that you have Li Rushi, Wu Yunna and so on. Now you are a big pervert." Feng Ziyi pursed her lips and said.

As soon as Lin Feng finished listening, he realized who the Killer Thousand Swordsman actually leaked the secret so early.

So he quickly used all his strength, comforted her with kind words, hugged Feng Ziyi tightly in his arms, and finally managed to get the little girl.

Alas, the blessings of this group of people are not so good, Lin Feng said with emotion.

The next day, the Linxian Public Trial Meeting was held.

Because the original county magistrate Zhang Yue was so bad and greedy that he didn't even show the most basic dignity of a scholar. He would do anything by plucking his hair, and he ate meat by himself without even leaving any soup. Delin County was filled with resentment and anger.

So there was no need to mobilize. As soon as there was an opportunity, even the county officials rushed to accuse, and the complaints from the people came one after another.

Jiang Yin also did some work in advance, prepared some files, and soon convicted Zhang Yue and sentenced him to beheading. He also brought in two wealthy people in the county who had disregarded human life and got away with bribing Magistrate Zhang.

The three of them were sentenced to be beheaded, their homes ransacked, and they were put on the guillotine and chopped with a knife.

At the same time, Jiang Yin announced that following the order of Zhenming's Governor-General of the Army and Lin, he would repay the salaries of county officials and exempt the people of Linxian from paying taxes this year. All the money that had been collected would be refunded, which immediately won the cheers of everyone in Linxian.

Jiang Yin took advantage of the situation and announced the organization of military recruitment. According to the old rules, each recruit was given two taels of silver and one stone of grain, which triggered a wave of recruitment in Linxian County.

Yesterday, Jiang Yin led a team to search the property of the county magistrate Zhang Yue, and obtained more than 13,000 taels of silver and more than 1,000 shi of grain, which was more than enough to distribute the city siege reward, county government salary, and conscription.

Then Jiang Yin led people to confiscate the properties of the two big families, and earned more than 7,000 taels of silver and more than 3,000 shi of grain. The county government's money and grain were immediately enriched.

Now that the Zhenming Army's ranks are constantly expanding, and more and more are needed to support the troops, Lin Feng no longer goes to "visit" the treasury of these large households, and everything seized goes to the public.

At the end of one day, Linxian County had completed the recruitment of 1,000 soldiers, plus the payment of salary arrears from the county government, including this month's payment, which cost a total of 3,000 taels of silver and 1,000 shi of food.

There are still 17,000 taels of silver and 3,000 shi of grain left in the county government treasury. Not counting the upcoming summer tax, it is enough to cover the expenses of 2,000 soldiers and horses for three months.

Lin Feng saw that the military and political affairs in Linxian County were on the right track. After explaining the stay requirements to Zhou Rui and Jiang Yin, he took Feng Ziyi to Jiazhou.
