Governor's Yamen.

"Chen Qianhu came early this time, and the master is meeting with all the generals inside, so I have to let you wait a while."

There was no need for the governor's housekeeper to say it, Chen Mu knew that he was going to wait as soon as he entered the yamen.

This time it is not as casual as before, the courtyard of the yamen is very lively, the rockery stone pavilion sits with a green robe and black horn belt of the five-grade civil officials, the courtyard is standing from all over the country, hundreds of households, the officials of the official office come and go, and the servants and attendants are everywhere.

Even Yu Dayou's recruiting subordinates were outside, and as soon as Chen Mu entered, he hugged his fists and said hello from afar.

Needless to say, during this period of time, the characters in the Guangdong official face must have been summoned, and the five-grade civil officials are all sitting and waiting in the courtyard, not to mention his five-grade thousands of households, and he is honestly looking for a place to rest in the courtyard!

"Chen, it's too early, it's not in the way to wait here, right?" Chen Mu said and took the housekeeper's hand, and put the two gold and silver coins seized from Haojing in the other party's hand with the wide sleeves of the concierge, and laughed quietly: "Haojing is a local product." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden box brought by the soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "This is also a Western thing in the booty, and the governor should be useful." ”

The porter didn't know what it was, but he felt that it was not light, and after accepting it casually, he smiled at Chen Mu and said: "What did Chen Ye say, you don't have to wait outside, go in and drink tea, and when a few generals come out, it should be Xiangshan." ”

Saying that, the porter also looked around, and then whispered and laughed at Chen Mu: "They, they are all recruited by the master to let them arrive tomorrow and the next day, what can they do if they don't wait so early?" ”

Tomorrow and the day after?

It's coming now!

This made Chen Junye, who was relatively lazy about the governor's summons, very embarrassed, and entered the front hall with the concierge with a smile, and sat outside the study to wait.

didn't wait too long, the tea was not yet cold, and there was the sound of footsteps colliding between clothes and armor behind the screen, and then several generals with different armor walked out, including Wang Rulong, who walked at the end.

I haven't seen him for two or three months, Wang Rulong still has that arrogant appearance between his eyebrows, but the free body of the battle can't make his long-term unkempt face appear much refreshing, and it will be more vicissitudes.

Seeing a few generals come out, Chen Mu, who was a lowly official, hurriedly got up and saluted, some people hugged their fists and returned the salute, and some people didn't care, Chen Mu didn't care about these, and said to Wang Rulong: "General Wang!" ”

Wang Rulong is the one who didn't pay attention to Chen Mu, the interpersonal relationships in the officialdom don't seem to have anything to do with him, when the governor releases him, he will lead the troops to train the troops, and when he is locked back, he will write and practice martial arts, and those superfluous exchanges are meaningless.

Only when he heard Chen Mu call him did he turn his head and glance at Chen Mu, then took two steps forward, and finally turned around and said indifferently: "It's you." ”

Co-author Wang Shenjiang didn't recognize Chen Mu at all just now.

"You played well in Haojing, they are all Japanese robbers, and they all deserve to die if they invade my sea frontier."

Chen Mu was about to ask about Wang Rulong's current situation, or which defense area his soldiers and horses were arranged to garrison, but he heard Wang Rulong say such a sentence, obviously someone in the Governor's Mansion had mentioned the Haojing War before, and then saw Wang Rulong open his mouth and wanted to say something, so he was interrupted by the voice behind Chen Mu, and simply closed his mouth and hugged his fists.

"Xiangshan Chen Qianhu, the governor is calling!"

Just as Chen Mu turned his head to look at the Governor's Mansion, Wang Rulong had already left.

Chen Mu touched his nose, shook his head and followed the person into the study around the beautifully painted screen.

In the study, the old governor Zhang Han was rubbing his eyes, his face was a little tired, and when he saw Chen Mu coming in, he got up and walked to the bronze mirror, patted his face with the copper basin at the door, and pointed casually: "Your own seat, and you can still let the old man have little leisure!" ”

When Zhang Han sat down again, Chen Mu knew the reason why the old governor was so tired, because Xiong Huan, the governor of Guangdong, was sick at this juncture.

In the early years, he resisted more than 30 battles against the Japanese in the Chengping era, and Xiong Huan, who was brilliant in the era of peace, also fell into an injury when he was old, and his legs and feet were not good when he was appointed governor, and it rained heavily some time ago, and then he simply couldn't get up and spread out on the bed to recuperate, and he couldn't be a director.

If you change someone else, the governor will take over the military and political power, and I'm afraid it's too late, but Zhang Han is different, there are too many civil and military things that he doesn't know how to do.

With a governor like Xiong Huan, who has been a fellow intellectual, participating in politics, preparing for the military, inspecting and handling politics, at least the big and small things can make the other party have an idea, and he can grasp the general direction. Now Xiong Huan is sick, and the affairs of the entire Liangguang Capital Division are piled up on the desk one by one, and he can't figure it out.

"You have seen the old man in the battle in Haojing, he killed four hundred enemies, and he didn't leave much alive after he was caught and killed, and the casualties of the flag army were only a few dozen, but there was a false report of war exploits?"

Chen Mu hurriedly testified to himself: "Governor Mingcha, you have a lot of concern for Xiangshan, and there is no restraint in the baggage of the warships, and you can't repay the governor's kindness and hatred for your humble duties, how dare you lie about your military achievements and deceive your lords!" What's more, Fanyi's head looks different from ours, and this battle achievement can't be reported! ”

Chen Muxin said that the imperial court did not set a reward for the head of Fanyi, and there are two things to say about whether there is a reward or not, where to go to falsely report the war exploits!

The contact time is not short, Chen Mu basically understands Zhang Han's preferences, this is not Wu Guifang's hard-headed and unsmiling Shangguan, and he can also listen to nice compliments, probably a traditional literati in Chen Mu's eyes, a little backbone, a little bloody, a little learned and a little professional - but the cultivation of science is not in place.

It's just not endless.

Heavenly principles are not exhausted, and human desires are not extinguished.

It's just an average person with a medium-to-high personality.

"The old man seems to be the same, but the day before yesterday, he summoned all the guards and asked them how many troops they needed to stop the five hundred ghosts, and they all said that the entire guard station would be in battle to resist."

Zhang Han was very puzzled and looked at Chen Mu: "How did you fight?" ”

Someone poured dirty water on themselves!

The day before yesterday, when the guards were summoned, they must have issued an order to defend the palace, why didn't anyone summon themselves?

Seeing the confusion in Chen Mu's eyes, the governor from Yanlu saw the problem at a glance, and asked in surprise: "Did you not know that the guard was summoned the day before yesterday?" ”

Chen Mu nodded a little bitterly, the day before yesterday he summoned the guard officer, according to Zhang Han's pre-expected appearance, it may have been spread to various places before the fifth and sixth days, and at that time he had just boarded the Haojing, and no one told him about it.

"The people on the sea road said that you had to discuss with Fanyi when you first boarded the Haojing, and you didn't have time to come." Zhang Hanpi didn't smile, his face was wrinkled with smile lines, and his eyes were even thicker, "When the first governor Wu Shilang left, he said that Wang Tingjie was a capable minister and virtuous official, but he couldn't control the affairs of Haidao...... The old man wants to send him to Zhejiang, and then replace those Australian officials. ”

"Now let's talk about it, how to use a force to defeat the Fanyi that can only be resisted by the army of a guard?"
