This time, the urgent report came from the territory of the Fujian Observation Mission in the war in the east.

The great tycoon Suo Luomeng, who had always had dealings with the Taiping Army, suddenly came south to ask for help and defected, and then there were new changes in Fujian that had been blockaded and unannounced.

However, with the defense of Wenzhou as foreign aid, Liang Zan returned to Huainan to preside over the situation. Chen Yan, a local Fuzhou regimental training envoy, also gradually gained an advantage in the war in the five states of Fujian, and finally broke through the Jianzhou Prefecture City (Zhouzhi now Jian'ou) occupied by Zheng Yi, the Fujian observation envoy, and captured the fleeing Zheng Yi and strangled him at the foot of the Xianxia Ridge.

As a result, the rest of Quanzhou (now Quanzhou, Fujian) assassin Shi Liao Yanruo, Tingzhou Assassin Shi Zhong Quanmu, Zhangzhou Assassin Shi Xu Guifan, including Hu Dingtian grain book to Fuzhou to ask Chen Yan to control it, and more than 20 local armed forces on the mountains and islands also heard the wind and surrendered. Since then, the five states of Fujian have all been said to be the first to be peaceful and unified;

After collecting the soldiers and horses from various states, Chen Yan began to raise troops to recruit and coerce the local Pinghudong and other Shanha barbarian tribes, and more than 10,000 strong people were organized into two armies, and the soldiers and horses such as the Kowloon Army under his original command were called 50,000 troops.

However, he showed no sign of giving up or going to a place to recuperate; On the contrary, he continued to reorganize the army and fight with the strength of the army and horses, and dealt with those wealthy families who once stood on the opposite side, and they all took their homes and clans to think that they were in the army.

However, after liquidating these rival forces, it was the turn of those wealthy families who sat and watched in the war, and they were forced to donate their property and wealth, cut their flesh and blood, and were temporarily freed.

As a chain reaction, the maritime clans led by the local Suo clan were inevitably further liquidated and plundered. Although Solomon was worth a lot of money and had a large fleet; But on land, there is still no way to compete with the separatist forces that have risen in these localities.

Therefore, under the leadership and internal response of some Suo clansmen, the Suo family, a maritime merchant who had been in Fujian for more than 100 years and had been operating for several generations, although it could not be said that it was wiped out, but it was also divided and did not return to the old concept in the civil strife of power and profit caused by the introduction of strong external forces.

In the end, only Solomon, who happened to personally arrange the pick-up of the goods in the port, and escaped the targeted search and betrayal of his clansmen, escaped with a few cronies and clansmen around him, and gathered and led the remaining fleet south to join the Taiping army.

Now he is waiting for resettlement in the hotel in Chaozhou, and he also sent a private letter with it. According to its claims, the five states of Fujian today tend to be the same and the places are withering, the east coast of the two Zhejiang provinces is in turmoil, and the Huaidong coast is also a ruined state, and it is no longer a good choice for trade and trade in a short period of time;

But over the years, he has developed some relationships and connections in the Northland, and it would be a pity to give up. For example, in Jiaozhou, under the Pinglu Jiedu envoy north of the Huai River, Haizhou under the Xusi Jiedu, and even Cangzhou under the Chengde Jiedu, there is no shortage of objects and customers who communicate with it.

Zhou Huai'an only made a reply after a little thought. The Taiping Army is not all about looking forward, ignoring the traditions of the past. Since he had contributed to the early development of the Taiping Army and was willing to continue to shine in the familiar field, let him take the position of general secretary under the Shang Shi Bureau.

He then took the lead in maintaining and preserving the trade routes to the north. As a channel for making profits at sea, it is still secondary, and the key is to obtain news from the north, especially from the town of Heshuo, which is particularly valuable.

On the other hand, although the five prefectures of Fujian are more poor and widowed than those of Jiangdong, Zhejiang, and Xuanxi; However, after the reunification under Chen Yan's command, it was inevitable that it would pose a hidden threat to the neighboring Taiping army in Jiangxi and Lingdong.

Although there are Meizhou Jiaoling and Qianzhou Ruijin Prison to rely on, at least until their attitude is clear, it is really necessary to take precautions, which further restrains the Taiping Army's troops that can be mobilized and used.

"I need a brave and resourceful person to go to Fuzhou as an envoy to inquire about the situation and wait for the opportunity."

Zhou Huai'an then said to the generals who had regrouped.

"A certain would like to go to the opportunity to act. I have traveled by boat many times to Fuzhou locally, and I have some old knowledge and familiarity. ”

But between the movements of several heads, Qian Gumei, who was stocky and dark-complexed, rushed out of the queue.

"Anyway, you will choose all the people you need, and you will also support and arrange the local eyeliner and reports."

Zhou Huai'an immediately clapped his head.

At this time, a loud report sounded again outside:

"Report to the governor, the personnel from the Guangfu Liusi Zhucao, the various departments, and their dependents have arrived outside the city."

- I'm the dividing line -

To the north of Gangneung, there are large acres of freshly turned dirt in the middle of a rather brand-new grange enclosure.

As a disciple of the royal family of Qi County, although Wang Renshou had been mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that he would actually accept layers of assessments and interviews with those people who were born with scum and mud legs.

Of course, because he had done enough homework in advance and inquired about the corresponding news on the way here, he still came to the last step with a relatively excellent and outstanding performance in the stumbling accident, and he had some answers to the ideas and ideas of the Taiping Army, which was quite impressive.

Despite this, he still did not have the opportunity to be a direct official, even if it was a position of a subordinate officer; Instead, along with several other scholars who were finally selected, they were arranged into an unfamiliar grange.

If this is the case, Wang Renshou can also accept the temporary status of the head of the grange. Because as a side branch of the Wangmen Qi County family, as long as there are no five clothes and three generations, it can be said that the corresponding road has been basically planned by the clan from birth.

Those who can learn and understand the career are of course the first choice for family support and support; As long as the township test and the provincial test can still pass, there will naturally be many elders and old origins, and they will be famous and famous;

Then, whether it is a provincial Taiwan bachelor, a housekeeper, a walker, a hall official, or a county official who is close to the people in a place; or it is a subordinate who enters the feudal town and guards the vassals, and naturally becomes the natural help and wing protection of the family.

If you have qualifications in articles and poems or classics, your family will also arrange to go on study tours to make friends and promote your reputation, and finally become outstanding as a person in the literary world and a contemporary celebrity, and become an invisible help for your family.

If you are ruthless and brave or skilled in archers and horses, you will go to the nearest border pass or be entrusted to the forbidden army of the imperial court, and then with the help and promotion of the family, it is also a promising place for "fame is only taken immediately".

If you are proficient in mathematics and good at profit-seeking, you can also engage in business and trade, and operate various peripheral industries to continue to contribute to the growth of the family; Other calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, appreciation, opera, and even prodigal sons and rangers who specialize in making friends with all kinds of people, as long as they have expertise and useful directions, they will get direct or indirect help from the family.

Even if the intelligence is mediocre, it is also the most unsuccessful choice, and it can also be arranged to the family's land industry, to be a village leader and a village tenant department, a village tenant tribe, a village to raise offspring, and continue to contribute to the family.

The original arrangement of Wang Renshou in the clan was neither the first choice for entering the imperial examination, nor the second choice for joining the army in the current troubled times; but to teach as a candidate for merchantmen and to join the clansmen; He was also arranged to see the tribesmen, the methods of governance of the grange and the tenants.

It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and those who originally followed the main members of the family to seek a career in the imperial court or the elite people who served in the army were all trapped in Chang'an and Luoyang City with the rout of the imperial court.

His side children, who stayed in the ancestral house and were still candidates, had to be driven out by themselves, and they scattered in all directions for the sake of the family's future and livelihood.

Compared with those who take refuge in Daibeixingying or Hedong and Zelujie Town, or Chengde, Weibo, Lulong and other places in Heshuo, or Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Suining in Hexi. Shuo Fang; Wang Renshou, who went to Jinghu, was just one of the lowest-ranked candidates.

However, when he arrived, he realized that he was going to stay here for a long time; Thought to correspond to the test and excessive observation period.

During this period, he not only had to participate in collective labor with the farmers in the village, but also took time to give the villagers at noon and in the evening to provide them with teaching materials such as "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classics".

It is actually the seed of a scholar and a moral article, and the mud legs of those who have been facing the loess for generations and facing the sky with their backs to the sky, sweating and exposing their bodies are tired between the ridges of the fields. How can there be such a deliberate humiliation of Sven in this world, and this behavior is not to live up to the strategy and splendid belly he has learned all his life.

In his rage, he almost wanted to leave immediately. However, I remembered the entrustment and responsibility in the family, as well as the vow I made to achieve something under my anger, and I couldn't help but reluctantly stay under the contradictions and repetitions of my feelings.

However, on the first day he made up his mind. Even the seemingly simple work of carrying water and helping to transport equipment tossed him enough. Not only did he splash and drop several times, but he also injured his hands and feet.

Although no one around him laughed at him, he kindly instructed a lot of labor-saving and precautions in details; But he was so ashamed that he couldn't even eat lunch, but could only live on the stiff firewood and pretend to sleep with a sore body.

Because he was angry and ambitious, but he only took half a day to show his weakness, he also faintly regretted and complained, and instructed himself to this poor and troubled family in Hunan; I was even more annoyed by why I slapped my swollen face and filled the fat man to stick to the decision.

However, he had not been lying down long when he heard the door rattle and walked in a man with a fragrant shrimp skin and potato porridge in his hand; Suddenly, Wang Renshou's empty weight moved to calm the movement, and he couldn't hold it anymore and got up slowly.

"You are the Wang Sheng who came to the village to intern today;"

The appearance of the next life is loyal and old, but it is a little self-familiar and said earnestly:

"In Xia Yang Fusheng, people sent a nickname to the old yellow sheep, and added him as the patrol of the left near. I heard that Wang Sheng was a little unwell and came to visit one or two, and I also had a few words in my heart that I wanted to know one or two from you new students."

"Do you know Amway? Ah no, do you know how our Taiping Army got to where they are now... ”
