Chapter 100 Reward

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

"In the 31st year of Xia Jiajing, he served as the juren of Jin County, Zhejiang Province and the magistrate of Poyang County. He returned to his hometown to retire the year before yesterday. He was entrusted by the magistrate Chen to compile the "Qingyuan County Chronicles". Therefore, he came to visit Chen Qianhu. There were some abrupt points, and I hope Qianhu would be forgiven."

Li Shu was very old, otherwise he would not have returned to his hometown to retire. Compared to him, Chen Mu was just a young man. Chen Mu has always respected the elders, let alone editing the county annals. Doesn’t it mean that Mr. Chen will be written into the annals? He hurriedly welcomed him to the seat.

"Sir, please come to the seat. Qingyuan County Chronicles. I have also grown up in Qingyuan. Any areas that you can get useful will definitely help you."

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

Mr. Li looked easy to get along with. Although he was invited to the upper class, he did not be proud of himself. He only sat in the guest seat and bowed: "I have been entrusted by others and needed to be loyal to others. I compiled the county annals and wanted to divide the territory, build schools, worship, customs, food, war, rank, official, election, figure, magazine and other four volumes and seventy-six categories. This time I came here, first of all, I heard what Bai Qianhu in Qingcheng said, Chen Qianhu had made a map of the Qianhu in Qingcheng, and came to ask for it."

Li Shu said, bowing his hand, smiling and said, "Secondly, to record Chen Qianhu's life in the Zhizhong period. Qingyuan's military affairs were not many, but in recent years, it was just a Japanese riot. Chen Qianhu had gone out of the city to fight with Bai Qianhu. I also came to inquire about the situation of the war, and it was easy to record it. I also asked Chen Qianhu to help me."

"It should be." Chen Mu smiled and waved his hand to ask his family soldiers to take the map of his house, saying, "I have indeed made maps of Qingcheng, but they are not meticulous. Deng Qianhu, the current school, is a master of mapping and has also been to Qingcheng. If the old man is not in a hurry, he can wait a few days and after Deng Qianhu polishes it, Chen will send someone to Qingcheng. What do you think?"

"This can't be better!"

The editing of county annals is usually complicated, but there will be no big obstacles in personnel matters. Everyone wants to keep their name in history. The people who are found are overjoyed, so how can they reject their small requests?

Li Shu, with a small hat in green, found a book from the bamboo back box, opened it for a while, and handed it to Chen Mu, "This is the account of Bai Qianhu, Qingcheng, and the incident of attacking Japanese pirates outside Qingyuan City. Please check it out."

"The Japanese pirates fought that scene with more power than the flag army. They commanded the five thousand households to gather troops in Qingyuan. Chen still remembered them freshly. If it weren't for Brother Jingchen..."

Chen Mu took the book with a smile, and read it while talking, frowning, and the conversation ended abruptly.

The manuscript was not good paper, I saw yellow paper and black words describing the situation at that time:

In November of the winter of the 45th year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates in Guangdong, and the bandits broke through Qingyuan Gorge and rushed straight to the Aicheng. The police in Qingcheng were panicked and the common people were frightened. The commanders gathered five soldiers to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. The bandits set up an ambush at the bottom of the city to challenge. Bai Yuanjie, a hundred households in Qingcheng, were not afraid, and went out of the city to fight. Chen Mu, the small flag, was brave, killed the bandits and held the flag, and then killed the Japanese heads, and the bandits dispersed.

When he changed the character's ambition, in the section where he belonged to him, he was like sleeping at night, and he was afraid of sleeping at night. He was calm and composed. He fought with Guan and Zhang and made several thieves retreat. There were not too many such as the Qingcheng thieves who were not afraid of, and the guns were shot and killed by the Japanese heads. The entire ancient general was vividly displayed on the paper.

Chen Mu felt that his memory was wrong. Although things seemed to be like this, he clearly remembered that others could not sleep at night out of alertness, and that he was sleeping soundly and lazy rather than fearless. As for Guan Zhang's courage, it was nonsense. Can Guan Zhang be tripped?

This is probably the weirdest thing Chen Mu feels. He only records things, and no one knows what his mentality was at that time.

His mind was blank for the first time he went into battle. Now when he thinks about it, he only remembers that he was tripped when he retreated, and he was kicked in his stomach and didn't know how painful it was. He also used his fist to kill a bandit, that's all.

But when reading these words in the character plot, it is not the same feeling. Chen Mu feels that the memories lost due to nervousness were completed - Is Mr. Chen so brave at that time?

I don't know it myself.

"Chen Qianhu, why? Is there any incorrect editing of the journal?"

"Ah? This is the will, haha." Chen Mu raised his head and eyebrows naturally relaxed. He faced Li Shu's very serious inquiries. He closed the book and paused, and said with an equally serious expression: "It's accurate, Brother Jingchen's words are very pertinent."

It's true.

Chen Mu happily talked to Li Shu about several nitride holes in Qingyuan and what the old man wanted to know, and sent him away more easily, promising to send someone to Qingyuan after Deng Zilong polished the map.

At this time, the map was just right, because he was planning to draw maps from Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinhui, Xinning and Nanhai counties respectively to teach flag officials in the future, so as to take advantage of them in future training and combat.

He hoped that the Ministry of War could hand over the five thousand households of Guanghaiwei’s former homeland to him. If he could be the commander of Guanghai, he could at least ensure that the following three thousand households were his own people. Needless to say, Xiangshan and Shunde, Huang Dexiang of Xinhui was also an acquaintance. As long as the guard officials under his command were promoted to several thousand households, the five thousand households of the family would be a solid piece. In the future, he would be invincible on this land.

But the promotion of the court is indeed a torture for people. Even if Zhang Han is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, he cannot guarantee that he can go wherever he wants.

Xiangshan Society had the consent of the great master of academic affairs and was built at the foot of the mountain not far from Qianhu Yamen. Chen Mu was fine. When his arm injury was recovered in early September, he would review bows and horses every day, waiting for Qiuyue to participate in the provincial examination.

He was idle, but the soldiers in Guangdong were not idle. When the official of the Ministry of War heard that he had given the title of Yipeng, he decided before he had decided that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue the thieves around the sea. The warships brought back by Chen Mu, Chen Lin and others were repaired and put in handy. The official army attacked everywhere to wipe out Lin Rong, Cheng Lao, Wang Lao and others.

They are all small characters under Zeng Yipin, with dozens of warships, and although they are equipped with guns and cannons, they have no ability to pose a threat to the city. Zhang Han doesn't care, and Chen Mu naturally doesn't care even more. Since the general appointed the battalion soldiers to suppress the enemy, he is happy to be quiet without interfering.

On September 10, news came out of Guangcheng that the condition of governor Xiong Jue had worsened and the rice was not invaded. People speculated that the period of time for this generation of anti-Japanese generals during the Jiajing period was approaching.

With this news, the imperial court reward was finally issued in the Ministry of War and issued it to Guangdong, and rewarded 588 people. Even the deaths were given a pension of five taels of silver. The imperial court specially allocated 100,000 taels of silver as a reward, but that was not enough, so Nanjing escorted 50,000 taels to Guangdong.

The thirteen hundred households under Xiangshan, two deputy thousand households and assistant ranks, were rewarded. Chen Mu, who had achieved the first merit, was promoted to the fourth level, and was the third-rank commander, and was awarded the rank of General Zhaoyong.

On the day the government order was delivered to Xiangshan, the governor from Zhaoqing came to the Qianhu Institutional Office of Xiangshan with a worried look on his face.

"General Chen, the master summoned him to Zhaoqing, I'm very anxious."
