Although Qing'an County did not fall, the damage caused by the marauder army to this county town was heavy and long-lasting.
The town, with tens of thousands of people, lost a large number of young adults, forcing Ye Xiangming to recruit and train strong men from the countryside to make up for the loss of garrison troops.
In order to prevent another attack from the rogues, the garrison army of Qing'an County expanded to a scale of seven hundred people.
Fortunately, they had previously confiscated wealth from wealthy households; otherwise, they really couldn't support it.
Once the situation inside and outside the county was fully stabilized, Ye Xiangming sent a message to the prefecture city, reporting the massacre of County Magistrate Yu Heqian and several gentry.
Half a month later, the prefecture sent the appointment letter and commendation decree.
