Meng Ke was temporarily appointed to the Xinfeng Qianhu Office due to his military exploits. To become a legitimate Qianhu, he had to wait for the imperial court's appointment. Yang Tinglin did not have this power.

However, almost all of the original Ganzhou Guard soldiers were lost, and Ganzhou, which had just suffered a war, was in urgent need of soldiers to stabilize the place, so this expedient measure could only be adopted.

When something happened in Ganzhou, Qin Mu led Liu Meng and a hundred "Great Qin Cavalry" out of the east gate of Ganzhou and rushed towards Huichang. It can be described as returning home like an arrow.

Huichang is 200 miles east of Ganzhou Prefecture. In the seventh year of the Taiping reign of the Song Dynasty, Jiuzhou Town, the capital of Yu, was established as a county. At that time, twelve pottery jars (pottery) were dug from the wells. The jars had the seal character "Huichang" on them, hence the name. Huichang.

In the fourth year of Shaoding's reign, he was promoted to the army. In the fifth year of Xianchun's reign, it was reestablished as a county. In the second year of Yuanzhen, he was promoted to a state (Ruijin Li Yan was cut off). In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was still changed to a county. The area is 400 and 55 li (190 li wide and 65 li wide), Wuping in the east (under Tingzhou), Wuping in the southeast, Anyuan in the south, Anyuan in the southwest, Xinfeng in the west, and Yudu in the northwest , Bei Ruijin, Northeast Ruijin.

Qin Mu visited Huichang in later generations. At that time, he took the Jiguang Expressway, but now, he obviously took the "Ming Dynasty Turtle Speed".

What was a two-hour drive in later generations can now be reached in a day on horseback, so if we apply the experience of later generations, you probably won't even be able to find the way.

Qin Mu's rough impression of Huichang in this era all comes from the description of Huichang County in the "Ganzhou Chronicles" compiled during the Jiajing period: Shanshan Mountain stands in front of it, Mingshan Mountain embraces behind it; peaks on the left and right are lined with cloud barriers. The Mianshui River comes from the east, and the Xiangshui River flows from the south. The mountains are surrounded by solid dangers, and the water across the jade belt is clear; the customs are mixed and the customs are different, and the quality is rare. The land is relatively simple and simple, and there are many warriors and warriors. The residents are healthy, brave and aggressive.

Among them, "There are many warriors and strong soldiers. The residents are healthy, brave and aggressive." Qin Mu was particularly impressed by this record. Perhaps it was because of this that Huichang became the source of this rebellion;

To build a "powerful Qin army", we need strong warriors. It can be said that before arriving in Huichang, Qin Mu was already full of yearning for his three-acre land. It's no wonder that he didn't even bother to marry a wife. I am anxious to be a "parent".

"Sir, who is Princess Yushu?"

"Huh?" Qin Mu looked at the little girl in surprise. Could this girl have also traveled through time? "Tell me! How did you know about Princess Yushu? How dare you lie even half a word, so you immediately roasted it and ate it. !”

Being stared at by him eagerly, Qiaoer couldn't help but shrink his head and replied: "Sir, you called Princess Yushu several times last night, so people will naturally know about it."

"Okay, girl, if you don't learn well, you would spy on me sleeping in the middle of the night and ask, how am I sleeping? But Long Zhang and Fengzi..." Because of that tenacious youth, Qin Mu looked in the mirror many times. , I unconsciously suffered from a bit of narcissism.

"No, no, they didn't spy on you while you were sleeping. Don't accuse me unfairly, sir. You were talking too loudly in your sleep, and people heard it from the next door."

"That's not right. You didn't spy on me while I was sleeping. How did you know that I was talking in my sleep? Couldn't it be that I was so worried that I was tossing and turning in my sleep? You stinky girl, you want to deceive me. There is no way. Why don't you get the truth right now?"

"I was... I was curious, so I only took a look."

"One glance is a grave sin. Come on, pull it down... and bake it!"

"No, no, I haven't showered in three days."

"Just right, no need to add salt."

“…………..”

The little girl was speechless, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, looking bright and playful. On the galloping horse, her hair was flowing and her clothes were flying, like a flower fairy scattering petals in the spring breeze.

"Master, when will you marry Sister Zhi'er?"

"When did you say you would marry?"

"tomorrow."

"Okay, then let's go get married tomorrow."

"Yeah."

"Do you know how to shout when the time comes?"

"I know, I know, I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to get over this, leave money to buy the road."

"Wrong, this is a slogan shouted by ordinary thieves. We are here to steal a bride. The nature is different, so we can't shout like this."

"Sir, how should you shout?"

"Girl, you will shout like this when the time comes: The technical content is low, resistance must be cautious. Don't take away the bottle when drinking medicine, and give the rope when hanging. If one person falls into the grass, the whole family will be honored."

"whee... ... ... ... .."

Qin Mu was fully prepared mentally, but when he entered Huichang County, he couldn't help but be shocked.

For more than a year, Ganzhou Guard Commander Zhu Teng led the government troops and the rebels in a tug-of-war in Huichang. The people fled and the grass fell, leaving barren fields, abandoned homes, and wild foxes crying in the cold smoke. , lush grass covers the ruins;

Some orphans and elderly people are hiding in makeshift shacks built with thatched grass and struggling to survive. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, they all fled away like frightened birds.

Qin Mu walked eastward and saw many people returning home after the war. They were all unkempt, ragged, and had dull eyes.

The damage caused by the war was very serious. From time to time, people could be seen on the roadside looking at the ruins of their homes and crying. What's more, after finding the remains of their relatives among the ruins, they cried loudly. The miserable scene was shocking. I felt like my heart was broken after seeing it.

After seeing these scenes, Qiaoer stopped laughing all the way, his eyes were always misty, and he urged Qin Mu from time to time, faster, faster, Qin Mu, the county magistrate, would have arrived at Huichang County earlier and started governance earlier. , maybe a lot of people will not starve to death.

Huichang County is not big, with a perimeter of 1,000 square meters. The city is less than two feet high. Mianshui flows through the city and is supported by towering mountains.

When Qin Mu came galloping with a hundred men and horses, Ma Yongzhen, Huo Sheng, and Ning Yuan each led men and horses to greet him from the west of the city. The two teams, one on the left and one on the right, stood solemnly and clearly separated. There were about 700 people on Huo Sheng's side, and Ma Yongzhen maintained his position. The strength of a thousand-household unit (1,200 people).

"Sir, you are here!"

"Huo Sheng, Ning Yuan, your troops are living in the city now?"

"Yes sir."

"General Ma, where are your men and horses?"

"My lord, there used to be a Qianhu Station in the south of the city. My troops are now stationed at the Qianhu Station."

"Take your troops back to the station immediately, and then come to the county government office to discuss matters, immediately!"

"As you command!"

The city is also in a state of decay. Only a few shops are open for business, and the goods are scattered and extremely scarce. There are few pedestrians on the street and it is a depression. Collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, broken walls and tiles are in disorder, and there is a smell of war damage everywhere. The desolation after the disaster.

The damage to the Huichang County Government Office was not too serious, because no matter which party occupied the county seat, they all used it as their headquarters.

After Qin Mu took charge of the county government office, he hurriedly wiped his face and went to the second hall regardless of fatigue. There was no county magistrate, no chief register, no history books, and no officials. The entire county government office was empty.

If Qin Mu wants to start relief work as soon as possible, he can only rely on the two teams of Huo Sheng and Ma Yongzhen.
