On September 16, the governor Xiong Huan died of illness, and the capital sent men and horses to escort him along the way. Xiong Huan did not have much presence in Guangdong in the last two years of his life, but there was no one in the land of Fujian and Guang who did not admire him, this famous anti-Japanese general who was born in Jinshi fought more than 30 battles with Haikou in his life, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

If nothing else, the recruitment of troops in all parts of the world is stronger than the battalion soldiers, and the battalion soldiers are harder than the guards, this is the same truth, but only when you go to Guangdong to Guangzhou Mansion, the flag army commanded by Chen can be said to be the strongest in Guangdong, and the armor is more than the battalion soldiers, and it is also good to walk on the official road, which is unknown to no one in the whole of Guangdong.

Lou Qimai, who was promoted to a deputy of 1,000 households and received 100 households, led the 100 households under his command to return to his hometown for the Xiong Governor and protect the spirit, and went to Wuchang.

The rewards of the imperial court are not abundant, less than 1,400 posts of Xiangshan, such as the commander of the affairs, Wei Zhenfu, and the chief and deputy thousand households, nearly 30 of them were sealed at once, as for the experience of the five products, the division of experience, the affairs of the division, the judgment of the division, the deputy judgment, the chief and deputy hundred households, the general flag, the officials, etc., are hundreds, as long as the old flag army that fought bravely on the battlefield in the past survives, at least they are all small flags.

A few days later, news came out from Guangdong that Xiangshan County was promoted to Xiangshan Prefecture, and governed the five counties of Shunde, Xinhui, Xinning, Xin'an and Xiangshan, and selected Xiangshan County Ling Zhou, who had meritorious service in governing the government and had good command in the previous war, to be the first prefect.

The prefect of Zhou Xing was not directly appointed by the imperial court, but was reported to the imperial court by the governor Zhang Han, and Zhou Xing acted as the prefect for one year.

Due to the differences in natural conditions, traffic congestion, busy affairs, large population, distance distance, number of cases, and poor people's customs, there must be four kinds of "rushing, complicated, tired, and difficult", and the four words contain the most important deficiency, the one containing three words is the key deficiency, the one containing two words is the middle deficiency, and the one containing one word or four characters is the simple deficiency.

Brief vacancies and middle vacancies are generally given to officials who have served as prefects for the first time or for a short time, especially for first-time officials like Zhou Xing, and the most important vacancies are given to officials with very experience in the prefect.

Xiangshan County is the only one in the four characters, and it is still in the direction of military affairs, which has little impact on government affairs, so this official position is just right for him.

And Xiangshan has been promoted to the mansion, and the matter of the promotion of Xiangshan is logical, the establishment of Nanyangwei, in addition to the dilapidated Guanghai, the jurisdiction of Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde, Xiangshan four, and led to the establishment of Tuen Mun in the southwest of Xin'an County, five for the guard, Wei Ya is located in Xiangshan.

Zhang Han was benevolent and righteous to Chen Mu, and came with the news of the establishment of Nanyang Wei, so that he could play the handbook for the selection of the five guards under his command, and then report the vacancy by selection.

This is equivalent to handing over the power actually granted by some of the security officers to Chen Mu, not only to treat him personally but also to carry him, a commander, many of the guards under his command are cronies, and it is natural to do things smoothly, and once a thief encounters, it is easier to make meritorious deeds.

For official positions below 1,000 households, Chen Mu can choose the script, and for more than 1,000 households, for example, the commander of Nanyangwei, Chen Mu can only mention a few names, and Zhang Han doesn't count all of it.

Guangzhou Mansion is close to the left, and there are few people who can nominate Chen Mu to nominate the commander Tongzhi, Bai Yuanjie of Qingcheng Qianhu, Deng Zilong and Sun Ao, deputy Qianhu of Xiangshan, and then Hu Liangpeng, who guards the gate in Guangzhou Fucheng, Zhang Shijue, deputy Qianhu of Guangcheng Right Guard, and Huang Dexiang, a Xinhui Qianhu who is barely meritorious enough, and their talents are enough to serve as commanders and Tongzhi.

As for the names of the five thousand households, it is easy to say very much, Deng Zilong of Xiangshan Thousand Households, Sun Ao of Thousand Households in Tuen Mun, Shiqi of Xinning Thousand Households, Huang Dexiang of Xinhui Thousand Households, and Shao Tingda of Shunde Thousand Households, basically no problem, and the others mainly serve as deputy thousand households, and subordinate 500 hundred households, 100 general flags, and 500 small flags.

These 150 people were all selected from among the meritorious service members of the Xiangshan Institute, and they were scattered to five departments and thousands of households.

Shao Tingda has nothing to worry about, he wants people, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Mu can send people to enrich all the grassroots guards under his command, and they are all familiar faces from the Xiangshan Department.

The letters were sent back and forth, and the journey from Zhaoqing to Xiangshan in Guangzhou was only two days round-trip, and he brought back Zhang Han's reply to the letter of the commander Chen, and under the command of Tongzhi, more than 160 official positions were all approved, but the commander Tongzhi was pressed by Zhang Han, saying that the imperial court would send someone else to serve as Tongzhi.

A deputy, it doesn't matter to Chen Mu, Nanyangwei's seal is in his hands, and others can't affect the overall situation. What's more, he doesn't mind if the imperial court sends someone else, to this position of a fourth-grade official, the chance of meeting a mediocre person is already very small, and it is a good thing to have a helper.

In October, Chen Mu participated in the Guangdong Wuju Township Examination, and the salvo was sent to five out of ten, but it was medium, but his strategy of writing a "Seven Things of the Coastal Guard" was the first in the examination, well, the chief officer was not Zhang Han.

It was chosen by Zhang Han.

Commander Chen, as a military attache of the third grade, honorably obtained the military attache diploma of this era and was a martial artist.

In fact, in this year's Guangdong Township Examination, not to mention that Chen Mu is taking the martial arts examination, even if he goes to the Wenju examination, he will still be able to obtain the official status of the Wenju person, but he will not get the first place.

Because this year, Guangdong recruited examiners from outside the province and selected from the Jinshi in previous years, Li Tao, the governor of Quanzhou Prefecture, happened to be transferred to be the chief of the inner curtain.

Chen Mu only found out about this when he knew that Li Tao had come to Guangdong and invited him to drink, but at that time, the township test was over - Yan Gui Chen competed with Wusheng as the commander of Sanpin and General Zhaoyong, and became a joke in Guangcheng for a while.

Even if you will try to get the martial arts, the imperial court will fill the real gap for a five-grade thousand households, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a war, you may give a deputy general soldier with hundreds to thousands, and make war achievements to quell the war, and maybe you will fall into the official position of commander.

Chen Ye relied on his background in the wild road, and became the youngest Zhaoyong general in Guangdong with repeated military exploits all the way, but he turned back to fight with Wusheng to win the martial arts, and people speculated that what he would encounter when he waited for the next year's test may not be good.

Let him be admitted to the martial arts, what official position can the imperial court give?

Those uncles in Beijing will not be happy to see this situation.

Chen Mu's prestige is much greater than he imagined, and the power of silver is the same, in late October, Chen Mu put out a farewell wine for Li Tao on the Yangui boat, and the wine was slightly drunk, and he saw the Nanyang Guard Banner Army galloping on the riverbank, and shouted on the riverbank.

Chen Mu, who was slightly drunk, beckoned the painting boat to stop the boat, and waited for the flag army to come up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, Zhou Yunxiang found it, Deng Qianhu led someone to detain him, and he was in Haojing."

It was accurate, fast, much faster than he had imagined!

Chen Mu staggered up and bowed his hand to Li Tao, "Brother Li, there is something important in the Xiawei Ya, and I will take a step forward to make amends." Su Sanniang, Li Tuiguan only likes to listen to some songs, and takes care of Chen's good life, tomorrow Chen is waiting in Xiangshanao, and sends a military ship to send him off! ”
