The court's reward was finally handed down, along with the edict granting the naturalization of Wall and Forrest in Shanghai and the official document of the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen.

For these two Yankees turned into Chinese, the first to be stunned was Daniel Zhang, and he finally understood what Guan Zhuofan meant by what he said to him a few days ago.

"Daniel Zhang," this is what Guan Zhuofan said when he was preparing for the gong. He slowly pushed a red envelope across the table to Daniel Zhang, "Don't say I didn't take care of you, here is 10,000 silver." ”

"Boss Xiexie's reward!" Daniel Zhang stood up, first beat a thousand children sharply, and then stood up, leaned over with a smile, and took it with both hands.

However, Guan Zhuofan's index finger pressed on the red envelope and did not move away.

"I forgot to ask you," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "Do you want officials, or do you want money?" ”

This is a sentence that Guan Zhuofan once asked him when he left Beijing. Daniel Zhang naturally remembers that his answer was "ask for money!" And Guan Zhuofan's answer was, "If you want money, follow me to Shanghai, where gold is everywhere." ”

This 10,000 silver is also worth 7800 taels of gold, but when the matter comes to an end, when he asks again, Daniel Zhang can't help but hesitate - he knows that as soon as he gets the silver ticket, the official he could have obtained will probably have to be discounted.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't resist the temptation of 10,000 taels of silver, gritted his teeth and said, "...... Ask for money. ”

"Well, I was going to hire a lieutenant general for you," Guan Zhuofan still looked indifferent, and said slowly, "Now I have to wronged you as a general." ”

The deputy general is from the second rank, and the staff general is the third rank. Daniel Zhang was ruthless. Participating in the general, participating in the general. It's also good!

"That's right. I forgot to tell you that I also asked for the rank of general for Ixan. ”

Daniel Zhang was about to cry, but he still said hard: "Ixan dug a trench to guard Songjiang, and saved the boss's car in Qibao, and was seriously injured. He, a general, was exchanged for his life, and I was convinced, and I had nothing to say. ”

"You're in Shippo. It also saved my life. Guan Zhuofan squinted at Daniel Zhang with his eyes, "In Qingpu, Tan Shaoguang almost couldn't return to the city, and outside the Chuansha Hall, Li Rongfa lost his armor and removed his armor, these credits are not small." ”

Daniel Zhang stopped talking.

"Wall is also a lieutenant, and he can be regarded as a second-class master in the future, tsk." Guan Zhuofan was overwhelmed with emotion, and said to himself.

"What?" Daniel Zhang jumped. "He is a foreigner, how can he be a lieutenant general?"

"He's a foreigner. Larger than life. Guan Zhuofan looked at him with a smile, "You'll know later." ”

Daniel Zhang blushed, and after a long pause, he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "That...... Then I'm also a lieutenant! ”

"Hmm......" Guan Zhuofan nodded, and under the gaze of Daniel Zhang pained gaze, he slowly put the red envelope back.

Since that day, Daniel Zhang has been unconvinced, what is different about this foreign devil? I only found out today that I am no longer a foreign devil!

Many of the officers and men were promoted for their military merits, especially several chief officers, and the gains were not small.

Ding Shijie, reward the rank of general soldier, Xuan Jun will bring.

Wall, rewarded with the rank of deputy general, from the second grade, Xuan military association belt.

Daniel Zhang, with the rank of deputy general, from the second rank, the Xuan military association belt, and the horse team management belt.

Ixan, the rank of general of the appreciation, is the third product, and the gram group pipe belt.

Forrest, the rank of general of the appreciative staff, is the third product, and the foreign group is a pipe belt

Ding Xianda, reward the guerrilla rank, from the three products, the first word group pipe belt.

Bai Qiwen, reward guerrilla rank, from the third product, the second group of foreign pipe belt.

Jiang De, the title of the director of the capital, is the fourth product, and the German character is the pipe belt.

Wu Jianying, the title of the director of the capital, is the fourth product, and the pipe belt of the construction group.

Turin, the rank of the commander of the capital, is the fourth product, and the pro-military camp pipe belt.

Wu Xu, awarded the Jiangsu Provincial Inspectorate, is a civil official of the third grade, and is still concurrently serving as a Shanghai Dao.

Liu Xunjiao, the title of the Taoist Rank, the fourth rank of civil official, the general office of the Xuanjun Camp Office.

Jin Yulin, the title of prefect, is a five-grade civil official.

As for Guan Zhuofan, there is a special paragraph with special praise: "In the midst of all difficulties, the member was killed and injured, braved the wind and rain, braved the arrows and stones, and finally defeated the hypocrites and protected the famous city, and I felt very happy." Guan Zhuofan was rewarded with the political envoy of Jiangsu, and he always led the Xuan army. And the captain of the first class light car, hereditary replacement! ”

Guan Zhuofan finally became the "general leader" of the Xuan Army, and from then on, he could command the troops justifiably, and he no longer had to be embarrassed by the title of Qipin Zhixian, but had to rely on the name of the imperial guard to suppress people.

Although the position of the feudal secretary, also known as the political envoy, can be regarded as a subordinate of the governor, in terms of rank, unless the governor adds the title of the military department, they are all subordinate to each other, so although they cannot be "divided", they can "resist". King Gong's statement that "both ends of the human and financial ends can be handled" is not a lie, because the civil affairs, finance, land, money and grain, and official performance appraisal of a province are all matters within the duties of the feudal department.

Winning such a position and being made a lieutenant of the light car are all unexpected things, especially the words "hereditary replacement", which are particularly valuable. Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, according to this, if Lao Tzu An An was born and did not rebel, then when he had a son, this light car captain, he could pass it on in the future. Lao Tzu is called Guan San, and his son is called Guan Xiaosan......

However, the son is still nowhere to be seen. That time with the second sister-in-law, I didn't get into trouble, it was really a fluke, I don't know if the Bai family and the Ming family will give birth to one for themselves? Or, in case God doesn't have long eyes......

The Queen Mother is happy, who did it?

He had a sudden break in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

This reward, Ding Shijie's civil and military officials below Ding Shijie can be regarded as a generous and fair reward, so the city of Shanghai and the various battalions and regiments of the Xuan Army are full of joy.

Alone in the corner is Yang Fang - Guan Zhuofan was originally going to use him to replace Wu Xu's Shanghai Dao, but who knew that it was self-defeating. Wu Xu got Guan Zhuofan's kind words in the excerpt, and awarded the Jiangsu envoy of the three products, but he still signed the Shanghai Road. Although he accidentally knocked out the hateful Xu Changshan, Guan Zhuofan was still depressed. Because Wu Xu didn't move. This made Yang Fang, who had made a great effort for himself. How can it be embarrassing?

"Qi Weng, I'm sorry." Guan Zhuofan came to the door to apologize, "It's really a ghost, let me find out slowly." ”

"Xuan Shuai, why blame yourself?" Yang Fang was very open-minded and said with a smile. With a decree, it is now possible to publicly call Guan Zhuofan "Xuan Shuai". "Actually, you don't have to check, it's nothing more than Brother Kong Fang's credit."

"Well......" Guan Zhuofan understood. In order to keep the position of Shanghai Road while being promoted, Wu Xu spent money somewhere, judging from this jiashi, the cost must not be a small number.

Only in this way, it is even more important to see the importance of this position, and you have to find a way to go to him.

"Xuan Shuai, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have one thing I want to ask you for. ”

"Yes, please speak."

"Now that Wall has become a Chinese citizen. He and his little girl's marriage, I want to do it for them. Yang Fang smiled slightly awkwardly. All the expenses are paid by me, but Wall is afraid that he will ask Xuan Shuai to be a matchmaker. ”

This is something that can be imagined, and it is also a good thing for Guan Zhuofan, which can solidify Huaer's ambition. Wall has no relatives in China, and it is also appropriate for Guan Zhuofan to preside over this matter for him as the commander of Xuanjun. However, thinking of the playful and lovely Yang Ying, Guan Zhuofan's heart is still a little sour - when he was in Yangfang's mansion, he thought that Yang Ying was interested in himself, and now a big haode beautiful girl is going to give it to foreign devils.

Wrong. He reminded himself that Wall was already a naturalized Chinese, and that he could no longer have such thoughts in his heart. Wall and a group of foreign officers and instructors are extremely important to the expanding Xuan army. What we have to do now is to finish this marriage for him in a beautiful way, and ask this "foreign devil" to serve the Chinese with all his heart.

"Qi Weng, I did this matchmaker! But this is equivalent to our Xuanjun marrying a daughter-in-law, how can you say that it is all up to you? I don't understand the rules here, I will look for Liu Xun to take care of it when I go back, and I will definitely be able to do it successfully, and I will never wronged Miss Yang and your fast son-in-law. ”

This shows that Guan Zhuofan can be a man, and Yang Fang is of course deeply satisfied. He only has Yang Ying, a daughter, who has been loved and obedient since he was a child, but he never imagined that his daughter would fall in love with a foreigner, and to the point of "strong steel cannot be won", and in desperation, he had no choice but to fulfill them. However, although Wall is naturalized, he was a foreigner in the end, and most of the others have to look at it with surprise in the ancient period of "Yang Daotai marrying a daughter". Now Guan Zhuofan is treated as "Xuanjun marries his daughter-in-law", which is not only beautiful, but also extraordinarily face-saving.

Now that this matter is settled, we might as well say something else. Yang Fang asked Guan Zhuofan: "Xuan Shuai, where do you plan to set up your domain's yamen?" ”

If it was the time of Chengping, the three divisions and yamen would naturally be located in the provincial capital, but now when the war is fought, for the commanders of the army, the local real duties can only be regarded as a sideline for the time being, so the corresponding yamen are stationed, and there are also yamen that do not move, and are remotely controlled by the commanders in different places.

"The current Yamen of the Domain Division is in Nantong, I don't know what Qi Weng means?"

"I think it's better to move to Shanghai."

"I also hold this view, which coincides with Qi Weng." Guan Zhuofan said with a smile. Nantong is Xue Huan's station, leaving the clan secretary yamen there, Xue Huan must intervene in many ways, and Guan Zhuofan can't do it if he wants to control it remotely.

Guan Zhuofan was promoted to the division of the domain, and the seat of the county magistrate of Shanghai naturally had to be given up. If there is a vacancy in the county, the governor should normally determine the candidate, and then the feudal department will appoint him. According to Yang Fang's meaning, this seat cannot be given to outsiders casually, just directly out of the brand, and entrusted to the county Cheng Huang Defa to act first, and then report to Xue Huan, only to say that Huang Defa is familiar with military affairs, so he can use it, if it changes hands in a hurry, it will be inconvenient. With the big hat of "military affairs" covered, Xue Huan couldn't say anything except agree.

As for the location of the Yamen of the Domain, there are some magnificent and easy-to-use places in Shanghai, so I chose to move there.

"There is always a place, but it is really troublesome to move and toss piecemeal." Guan Zhuofan frowned.

"Okay, isn't there a girl who can take care of it for you?" Yangfang Pili Yangqiu, speaking seriously.

Guan Zhuofan blushed, his heart was empty, and he was speechless.
