It was sunny outside in spring, and many servants and officials were busy inside and outside the prefectural yamen. Many officials had come to the prefectural yamen to attend banquets. They chatted and laughed casually, and their voices were spread from outside to the second hall, which made Lu Wenxian feel upset.

The territory of Qizhou is too small, and the prefecture city is only two miles in square foot. It is completely a large market town, and even the size of many county towns is far from that.

Looking from the far end of the city, to the southwest is the Qishan Mountains with mountains. After crossing the Qishan Mountains that are five or six hundred meters high but extremely steep, it is surrounded by various mountains, with Qishan Port only a dozen miles in radius.

There were originally several small fishing villages there. After being stolen by Qishan, many houses were built, and the original fishing villages had changed their owners.

In the southeast direction of the northeast, there are mostly plains, with many fishing villages and several small market towns, and the places are very peaceful. In fact, the additional military camps have also promoted the consumption capacity and commerce of Qizhou. Originally, this was just a large island full of fishermen and vegetable farmers.

Maybe hundreds or thousands of years later, this place will gradually form a whole with Fuzhou. At this time, it is separated by a river, and the river surface is narrow. In summer, many people directly swim to Fuzhou on the other side.

Lu Wenxian was very white, with a few strands of long beards on his chin. He was wearing a black robe and a Tang scarf on his head, and he looked upset.

Lu Wenxian has been in Qizhou for several years. He was already used to everything in front of him, but now he feels that the sea flavor is too fishy and salty, which makes people want to vomit.

"The Marquis of Nan'an has arrived." A servant approached and reported in a low voice.

"I understand." Lu Wenxian agreed in a deep voice, stood up, changed his smile on his face, and walked towards the door.

When they arrived at the gate, many officials were already standing and waiting. Lu Wenxian took the lead and bowed. Seeing Xu Zi dismounted first, he said loudly: "The lower official is the military officials of Qizhou, Lu Wenxian, and pay homage to the lord."

"Mr. Lu must not do this." Xu Zixian first put his arm on Lu Wenxian and said, "In the officialdom, only official positions are discussed, regardless of titles. If it is a title, the royal family cannot come out to do official duties. When the ancestor was in Qizhou, he partnered with Changwenhou, but only official positions are discussed, not titles."

"Don't shit..." Lu Wenxian cursed in his heart. Xu Yingbin and Chen Dujing were both marquises, so of course there was no need to talk about any titles. If he took the lead, he would meet Xu Zixian as a governor, but he still didn't know what would happen.

"Please take your seat." Lu Wenxian said politely, and he could hear the unwillingness and hypocrisy in his words.

The two of them walked forward halfway, and the people around them followed, but when they kept a considerable distance, Xu Zi stopped first and said to Lu Wenxian: "I heard that the magistrate often climbed to Shangzhai to observe pirate activities there?"

"This is the case." Lu Wenxian said: "Since I am the governor of the military prefecture, of course I have to look at Chen Yutai's activities to prevent the people of Qizhou from taking advantage of it. The tragic incident in Zhangzhou cannot be repeated in Qizhou."

"Lord Lu often goes to the upper, middle and lower villages to see the soldiers fucking?"

"Um……"

Lu Wenxian was a little impatient, and didn't know what Xu Zixian meant...

"There are more than 3,000 people in the Xiang army, which seems to be quite a lot. They are powerful and powerful when they can fuck them, but I want to assure Lord Lu that if anyone brings these 3,000 people to fight the pirates, it would be a good result if he can come back alive for 300."

Xu Zixian sighed deeply and said to Lu Wenxian: "There were many reasons for the defeat in the first place. Being stabbed in the back was one of the reasons for the defeat, but the most important thing was that the Xiang army was useless. More than 3,000 people were defeated in one go. Even if they were called Yue Zhi, Li Youde led the Qizhou military camp and took it out to fight the war, it would still be a decisive result."

Lu Wenxian felt quite humiliated, and his own thoughts were also very obvious. After taking office, he often explored the terrain and studied the possibility of raiding from Qishan over mountains. He climbed many times and found many roads to advance...

In fact, as long as you are careful, although the mountain is steep and steep, there are no mountains that cannot be crossed in this world, and it is not like climbing cliffs. There are some hunters and other places on the mountain, and various sheep paths are hidden in wooden shrubs. With a little attention, you can find several passages to climb over the mountains and suddenly towards the beach.

Lu Wenxian, who thought that he had found a way and trained his soldiers, was likely to create miracles and achieve success. Of course, he was reluctant to see Xu Zixian's arrival, thinking that he might have received the credit he might have.

"Before I came here, I sent someone to inquire about Lord Lu's behavior and his way of becoming an official..." Xu Zixian said sincerely: "Lord Lu is kind and kind to the people. He is a good magistrate. He also wants to eliminate the thieves in Qishan, and his ambitions are commendable. But with these three villages, that is absolutely impossible."

Although he felt that what the other party said might be the fact, Lu Yongxian was inevitably subjected to the condescending lesson of a person half of his age. He said with shame: "What is Nan'an Hou's intention to say these words?"

"I want to relieve Master Lu." Xu Zixian smiled faintly and said, "I will do the matter of suppressing the thieves. The important thing is that the Nan'an Water Camp is trained and the sea and land are suppressed, which will be easier to succeed. In the Xiang Army, I will train strictly, enrich the salary and equipment, and remove unqualified people from retreating and eliminating the sands and eliminating the strong men. In this way, when you and I can move troops for several months or even after the New Year, Lord Lu can follow me in front of the army as the governor of the military state. At that time, you and I will be on the same page. How about it?"

"If the matter was done by the lord, I would not have benefited from this kind of fortune."

"If a person eats the tenth bun and eats full, the first nine will not be forgotten?" Xu Zixian chuckled: "In recent years, Qizhou is quiet and the wing army is complete. Chen Yutai has been much less robbery on all sides under pressure. The merits of the adults are years of hard work and thoughts. If a merit is made in a battle, but the adults are excluded, I will feel unfair..."

A feeling of understanding surged in my heart. Lu Wenxian looked at Xu Zixian next to him with a strange expression, and finally couldn't help but say, "Hao Jun has always been so clear about his eyes and is deeply rooted in the hearts?"

"The grape trellis in the back house did not think so." Xu Zixian answered humorously, believing that Lu Wenxian knew what it meant.

Sure enough, Lu Wenxian seemed to sigh and then burst into laughter.

...

The banquet for the defense envoy was quite high. Qizhou was the military prefecture of the Prefecture, which was different from the superior military prefectures such as Jianzhou, Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Shaowu Army and Xinghua Army. It belongs to the military prefectures under the Prefecture, which is higher than the county and lower than the prefectures.

The prefectures also have high and low levels. The highest level is Yanjing Prefecture, which is Jingzhao Prefecture, followed by Jiangling Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture. The prefect of the major prefectures is generally under the position of pacification envoy, but the prefect of Jiangling usually holds several positions such as Jiedushi, Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall or Secretary of the State Council. The real power is not under the pacification envoy of Jiangnan East Road, or even above it.

The establishment of Qizhou was originally because of the defense of pirates. In fact, the defense envoy was more eye-catching than the magistrate. Xu Zi first took office, which caused a stir in the eyes of the gentry and the people of Qizhou, and even in the garrison group.

The welcome banquet of the prefect Lu Wenxian attracted a large number of onlookers. Outside the small state yamen, there were three layers inside and three layers outside. When the banquet was about to end, many rumors and conversations about Xu Zixian were spread across all walks of life in Qizhou.

Before this, several newspapers in Fuzhou were working hard to promote Xu Zixian's military achievements and the elite martial arts trained by the Nan'an regiment. Then some people questioned that Xu Zixian had been reluctant to take over and was unwilling to attack Chen Yutai, and they were suspected of preserving their strength and raising the bandits to respect themselves.

Before Xu Zixian took office, some gentry and people in Qizhou believed this argument, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with Xu Zixian.

But later some people refuted that public opinion gradually subsided, especially the King of Qi's words were extremely harsh, and the people were not allowed to discuss military affairs. Newspapers should not arbitrarily influence military affairs, disrupt military morale and delude public opinion. Under the pressure of the Grand Governor's Office, many inexplicable public opinion disappeared at least in the short term.

After Xu Zi first arrived in Qizhou, he had already met with his subordinates in the prefecture, defense envoy and other places, and emphasized that there was no water camp, so it was impossible to talk about suppressing bandits. Thinking of Nan'an's expansion of the quota of water camp training and recruiting thousands of water camp soldiers, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion spent a lot of money to repair a large number of ships. The intention was of course obvious.

At this point, many people felt wronged by this young lord. No matter what, it was not wrong to have his ambition to wipe out Chen Yutai. Since last year, the repair of ships and preparations for recruitment of troops have already begun. If it weren't for the Qishan thief and the creditors in the capital, Xu Zi's first could not go to Fujian Road? It is no better to be the title of Qizhou as a defensive envoy?

Among the crowd, there was a strong man with a bearded face, who was always holding his arms to observe the situation of the state yamen. At the same time, he was listening to everyone's discussions, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding, and sometimes showing a contemptuous and sarcastic smile on his face.

Before and after the banquet, the crowd had long dispersed. Only some vendors had not left, hoping to earn ten or eight copper coins before late at night.

The strong man left the crowd and bought a few beef pies before leaving. His hands and face were covered with oil. He walked like flying through the dark alley and walked to the foot of the city wall amid the barking of dogs.

The Qizhou city wall was first rammed earth, but later the situation of pirates invading the country became increasingly serious. During the Chengzong period, the Zhengshi Hall ordered Fuzhou Prefecture to allocate funds to wrap bricks on the Qizhou city wall.

The circumference is 2,150 steps, with scrambles and perforations, horse-faced walls, two city towers and military caves, no urn city, quite simple, and there are many scattered or raised bricks. The strong man spent a short while, and wriggled on the city wall like ape for a while, then climbed up the low-high city wall, and then without hesitation, he jumped down from the other side.

In the night, the strong man rushed by, and ahead was the Zhongzhai camp with two battalions of soldiers. Although the strong man was not afraid, he did not want to be troubled, he took a detour from one side. At night, the barracks were only reflected by the arrow towers, and they could not be far away. The strong man took a detour inside and outside, and did not alarm anyone at all.
