The court's reward has not yet arrived, and Li Shu has come.

"In the 31st year of Jiajing, he successively served as the teacher of Jinxian County, Zhejiang, and the order of Poyang County, and returned to his hometown the year before last to support the elderly, and was entrusted by Chen Zhixian County to compile the "Qingyuan County Chronicles".

Li Shu is very old, otherwise he would not have returned to his hometown to retire, Chen Mu is a young man compared to him, and he has always respected the elder Chen Mu, not to mention that this is a compilation of county chronicles, doesn't it mean that Chen Ye will be written into the chronicles? Hurriedly greeted the seat.

"The old gentleman is on the seat quickly, Qingyuan County Chronicles, the younger generation is also counted as growing up in Qingyuan, you will definitely help wherever you can get it."

Chen Mu smiled, he was very curious about what kind of role he was in the eyes of others.

Mr. Li seemed to be very easy to get along with, although he was invited to take a seat, he did not take this as a self-esteem, but only sat in the guest seat and said: "The old man is entrusted by the people, and he needs to be loyal to the people, and the county will be divided into four volumes and seventy-six categories, such as feudal domains, establishments, schools, rituals, customs, food, military defense, rank officials, elections, people, and magazines. This time, first, I heard what Bai Qianhu said in Qingcheng, Chen Qianhu had made a map of Qingcheng Qianhu, and he came to ask for it. ”

Li Shu said with a smile on his face, and said: "The second is to record Chen Qianhu's life in the Zhizhong, Qingyuan has not had many soldiers, and in recent years, it is just a rebellion, Chen Qianhu has gone out of the city with Bai Qianhu to face the battle, and the old man is also here to inquire about the war, and it is good to record, and ask Chen Qianhu to help." ”

"And rightfully so." Chen Mu smiled, waved his hand and asked the soldiers to pick up the map in his house, and said with a smile: "The younger generation has indeed done the map of Qingcheng, but it is not meticulous, at the moment Deng Qianhu is a master of cartography, and he has also been to Qingcheng, if the old gentleman is not in a hurry, you can wait a few days, after Deng Qianhu polishes, Chen sent someone to send it to Qingcheng, what do you think?" ”

"It couldn't be better!"

The compilation of county chronicles is usually complicated, but there will not be much obstacle in terms of personnel, everyone wants to go down in history, and the people who are found are overjoyed, how can they refuse their slightest request.

Li Shu, who was wearing a small hat in Tsing Yi, found a book from the bamboo back box, opened it and searched for it for a while, and handed it to Chen Mudao: "This is the old man's account according to the account of Bai Qianhu in Qingcheng, and the incident of attacking the Japanese outside Qingyuan City is recorded. ”

"In that battle, there were more Japanese soldiers than the banner army, and the command called five thousands of households to gather troops in Qingyuan, Chen still remembers it vividly, if it weren't for Brother Jingchen......"

Chen Mu took the book with a smile, and read it as he spoke, his brows furrowed, and the conversation stopped abruptly.

The manuscript was not made of good paper, but I saw a description of the situation at that time in black and yellow paper:

In the winter and November of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the thieves broke through the Qingyuan Gorge and approached the Acropolis. Command gathered five soldiers to clear the field, thieves to the city to set up an ambush challenge, Qingcheng hundred households Bai Yuanjie is not afraid, out of the city field battle, the small flag Chen Mu brave, kill the thief to hold the flag, and then kill the head of the widow, the thief dispersed.

Flipping through the character chronicles again, in the section that belongs to him, like what night sleeps in Heiling, his peers are afraid of sleepless nights, only Mu is calm and calm, and he fights Zhang Zhiyong's hands to count the thieves and cause the thieves to retreat; There are not too many Qingcheng thieves who are fearless, and there are not too many guns to kill the heads of the widows, and the entire ancient fierce will leap on the paper.

made Chen Mu have a trance feeling that his memory was wrong, although things seemed to be like this, but he clearly remembered that other people's sleepless nights were out of vigilance, and he was lazy rather than fearless. As for Guan Zhang's bravery, it's even more nonsense, can Guan Zhang be tripped up?

This is probably the weirdest thing that Chen Mu feels, he only records things, and no one knows what kind of mentality he had at that time.

The first time he went into battle, his mind was blank, and now that he thinks back, he only remembers that he tripped when he retreated, that he was kicked in the stomach and that he didn't know that it hurt, and that he killed a mountain bandit with his fist, and that's it.

But if you look at these words in the character chronicle, it is not that feeling, Chen Mu feels that the memory lost due to nervousness at that time has been filled in - was Chen Ye so brave at that time?

I don't even know.

"Chen Qianhu, what's the matter, there is a mistake in the compilation of the chronicle?"

"Huh? This will, hehe. Chen Mu raised his head and his eyebrows were naturally soothed, and he was facing Shang Li Shu's very serious inquiry, closed the book and paused, and said with the same serious expression: "Accurate, what Brother Jingchen said is very pertinent." ”

Say something with certainty.

Chen Mumei talked to Li Shu about the few nitrate caves in Qingyuan and the things that the old man wanted to know, and sent him away more easily, promising to send someone to Qingyuan after Deng Zilong edited the map.

At this time, it was just right to polish the map, because he was also planning to draw maps of the five counties of Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinhui, Xinning, and Nanhai separately, so that he could teach flag officers in the future for future training and combat purposes.

If he can be the commander of Guanghai, at least he can ensure that the following three thousand households are his own people, not to mention Xiangshan and Shunde, Huang Dexiang of Xinhui is also an acquaintance, as long as these guards under him are promoted to a few thousand households, the five departments and thousands of households are an iron plate, and he will be invincible in this land in the future.

But the promotion of the imperial court is indeed a kind of torture for people, even if Zhang Han is also the right attendant of the military department, there is no guarantee that he can go wherever he wants.

Xiangshan Society learned with the consent of the great master of Xuezheng and built it at the foot of the mountain not far from the Qianhu Yamen, Chen Mu was fine, and he stayed until the beginning of September when his arm injury healed, and he reviewed the bow horse every day, just waiting for Qiuyue to participate in the township test.

He was idle, the battalion soldiers in Guangdong were not idle, the military department heard that Zeng Yi was awarded the head, and the reward had not yet been decided, so it was decided that it was appropriate to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the thieves around the sea, Chen Mu and Chen Lan and others brought back the warship to come in handy after repair, and the officers and troops attacked everywhere to exterminate Lin Rong, Cheng Lao, Wang Lao and others.

Those are all small roles under Zeng Yi, each of them has dozens of warships, although they are equipped with guns, but they have no ability to pose a threat to the city, Zhang Han doesn't care, Chen Mu naturally doesn't care, since the chief officer assigned the battalion to suppress it, he is also happy to be quiet and don't have to mix.

On 10 September, news spread in Guangcheng that the governor Xiong Huan's condition had worsened and that he could not eat rice and water, and people speculated that the end of the famous anti-Japanese generals of the Jiajing period was approaching.

Along with this news, the imperial court's reward was finally discussed in the military department, sent to Guangdong, and rewarded 588 people, and even the dead were given a bereavement of 5 taels of silver, and the imperial court specially allocated 100,000 taels of silver as a reward, which was not enough, and escorted 50,000 taels from Nanjing to Guangdong.

Xiangshan's thirteen departments of 100 households, two deputy 1,000 households and other positions were rewarded, and Chen Mu, who had made the first contribution, was promoted to the fourth level, and was awarded the rank of general of Zhaoyong.

On the day that the decree was delivered to Xiangshan, the governor's cronies from Zhaoqing came to the yamen of the Xiangshan Thousand Households with a sad face.

"General Chen, the lord is calling, please go to Zhaoqing, I am in a hurry."
