On September 16, Governor Xiong Ju died of illness, and Dusi sent people to escort along the way. Xiong Ju did not have much presence in Guangdong in the last two years of his life, but no one in Fujian and Guangxi did not admire him. This famous anti-Japanese general who was born as a Jinshi fought with pirates for more than 30 years and made many extraordinary achievements. Protecting the spirits back to his hometown was a major event. Dusi chose and sent people to Xiangshan to discuss and ask the Xiangshan flag army to escort along the way.

For nothing else, recruiting soldiers from all over the world is stronger than battalions, and battalions are stronger than guards. This is an unchanging truth. But only from Guangdong to Guangzhou Prefecture, the flag army commanded by Chen is the strongest in Guangdong, with more armor and weapons than battalions, and walking on the official road is also good. No one in Guangdong knows about this.

Lou Qimai, who was promoted to deputy, led the Baihu Banner Army under his command to protect the spirits and return home to Wuchang.

The imperial court rewards were abundant. The Xiangshan District, which had less than 1,400 posts, was like the commander-in-chief, Wei Zhenfu, and the chief and deputy chief and deputy households. As for the experiences under the fifth rank, the chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy households were granted nearly thirty. As for the experiences under the fifth rank, the chief and deputy chief and deputy households were cut off, the chief and deputy chief and deputy households, the chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and deputy chief and chief and chief and minister, official and other officials, as long as the old flag army fought bravely in the battlefield survived, at least they would be small flags.

A few days later, news came out of Guangdong that Xiangshan County Shengxiangshan Prefecture, which governed the five counties of Shunde, Xinhui, Xinning, Xin'an and Xiangshan. It chose to choose Xiangshan County Magistrate Zhou, who had made great contributions in the previous battle, served as the first prefect.

Zhou Xing, the prefect was not appointed directly by the court, but was reported to the court by the governor Zhang Han, who served as the prefect for one year.

Due to differences in natural conditions in the Ming Dynasty, various prefectures had congestion in traffic, busy affairs, large population, distance, and many cases, and smooth people. There must be four types of "continuing, complex, fatigue, and difficulty". All four characters contain the most important, those with three characters are the most important, those with two characters are the middle, and those with one or four characters are the simple and negligible.

Jian and Zhongwei are generally given to officials who have been serving as prefects for the first time or have not been serving for a long time, especially those who have served for the first time, like Zhou Xing. If they want to be appointed and are most vulnerable, they are given to officials who are very experienced as prefects.

Xiangshan County only has the only customs priority in the four characters, but 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.

After Xiangshan was promoted to the prefecture, the matter of Xiangshan was promoted to the harbor in the later period was naturally established. Nanyang Guard was established. In addition to the ruined Guanghai, it governed four offices, Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde and Xiangshan, and also led the establishment of Tuen Mun Office in the southwest of Xin'an County, combining the five offices as the harbor, and the harbor was established in Xiangshan.

Zhang Han was very kind to Chen Mu, and he came with the news of the Nanyang Guard. He asked him to report the talent selection for the five guards under his command, and then choose to report the lack of money.

This is equivalent to handing over some of the powers actually granted by the security officials to Chen Mu. It is not only for personal care but also for support. A commander, many of the security officials under his command are close friends, and it is natural to do things smoothly. Once you encounter a thief, it is easier to make more contributions.

Chen Mu can choose official positions below a thousand households, but Chen Mu can choose a memorial, and Chen Mu can only mention a few names of people, and Zhang Han can't say it completely.

There are few people who can nominate Chen Mu to command Tongzhi, including Bai Yuanjie, Qianhu of Qingcheng, Deng Zilong, and Sun Ao, deputy Qianhu of Xiangshan, and Hu Liangpeng, guarding the gate in Guangzhou, and Zhang Shijue, deputy Qianhu of Guangcheng Right Guard. He can barely be considered a thousand-household Huang Dexiang, who has not made enough contributions. Their talents are enough to take charge of the Tongzhi.

As for the names of the five thousand households, it is easy to say, there are basically no problems with the Qiangshan Thousand House Deng Zilong, the Qiang Tuen Mun Thousand House Sun Ao, the Qiang Xinning Thousand House Shiqi, the Qiang Xinhui Thousand House Huang Dexiang, and the Qiang Shunde Thousand House Shao Tingda. Others are mainly serving as deputy Qiang, and the fifty hundred households under the jurisdiction, one hundred general banner, and five hundred small banner.

All of these 150 people were selected by Xiangshan Institute and those who made contributions this time, and they spread their branches and leaves to five thousand households.

Shao Tingda had nothing to worry about. He wanted people, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Mu could send someone to enrich all the grassroots guards under his command, and they were all familiar faces in the Xiangshan class.

The letters were sent back and forth, and they traveled quickly. In just two days from Zhaoqing to Xiangshan, Guangzhou, he brought back Zhang Han's reply to Commander Chen's letter. Under the command of Tongzhi, more than 160 official positions were approved, but the commander Tongzhi was pressed by Zhang Han, saying that the court would send others to serve as Tongzhi.

A deputy doesn't matter to Chen Mu. If the seal of the Nanyang Guard is in his hands, others will not affect the overall situation. Moreover, he doesn't mind sending others to the court. When he reaches this fourth-rank official position, the chance of meeting mediocre people is already very small. It is a good thing to have a helper.

In October, Chen Mu participated in the Guangdong Wushu Provincial Examination and was five out of ten, but he was only average. However, he wrote a policy review of "Seven Affairs of the Near Sea Guard Office" and was ranked first in the examination. Well, the chief official was not Zhang Han.

It was chosen by Zhang Han.

Commander Chen gloriously obtained the military officer diploma from this era as a third-rank military officer.

In fact, in this year's Guangdong Provincial Examination, not to mention that Chen Mu was taking the military exam, even if he went to the Wenju exam, he would still be able to pass the official position of a Wenju exam, and he would not be able to win the first place.

Because Guangdong hired examiners from the provincial external extension this year and selected from the Jinshi in previous years, Li Tao, the chief of Quanzhou Prefecture, was transferred to be the head of the inner curtain.

Chen Mu knew that Li Tao came to Guangdong and invited him to drink. However, the provincial examination was over at that time. Yan Gui Chen was the third-rank commander, and General Zhao Yong competed with Wu Sheng for the Juren, which became a joke in Guangcheng.

Even if you can pass the Wu Jinshi exam, the court will only fill the actual vacancies with a fifth-rank, thousand households. If you are lucky enough to encounter war, you may lead a deputy general with hundreds or thousands of troops, make military achievements to calm the war, and may become a commander.

Mr. Chen has been a wild family and has made many military achievements along the way and has become the youngest General Zhaoyong in Guangdong, but he turned around to compete with the martial arts scholar. People speculated that his experience may not be very good when he was in the examination next year.

If he was asked to pass the Wu Jinshi exam, what official position could the imperial court give him?

Those old men in Beijing would not be happy to see this situation.

Chen Mu's reputation was much greater than he thought, and the power of silver was the same. In late October, Chen Mu put out a farewell wine for Li Tao on Yanguifang. When the wine was slightly drunk, he saw a Nanyang Guard Flag Army flying over the river bank and shouted loudly from the river bank.

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

"General, Zhou Yunxiang has found it, Deng Qianhu led people to lock him up, and he is in Haojing."

This matter is accurate, faster, much faster than he thought!

Chen Mu stood up shakingly and bowed to Li Tao, "Brother Li, you have something important to do in the Xiawei Ya. Let's take the lead in accusing you. Su Sanniang and Li Tuan only like to listen to some songs and take good care of Chen. Tomorrow, Chen is waiting in Xiangshan Ao and sending a military ship to see him off!"
