Outside the Xibian Gate, the vigorous training of the troops has continued, and it has become a scene, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall are gathered in groups of three or five, pointing at the family members who are training outside the city, talking and laughing wantonly.

"Three a day, is the kid of the Chen family stupid, he wants to exhaust those half-sized boys to death?" A hundred households of the Ming army looked at the family members training under the city with pity on their faces, and shook their heads. The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp still shouted that they couldn't stand it, and they didn't know what medicine this Chen family kid had taken wrong, so he actually trained the servants of the family to death.

"Maybe people are ambitious, and if they want to fight for a marquis, they may be able to become a marquis immediately." Another officer wearing the general flag costume said sourly, the same is the general flag of the Beijing camp, now Chen Jianghe has been promoted to the general officer, and now the son of the family has made great contributions, and he will be promoted again, but he has been the general flag for more than ten years, it is sad to think about it.

"Hey, Lao Chen is good, this time his kid has really made a great contribution, I heard that even the Long Live Lord knows, the revival of the Chen family is hopeful!" Although Chen Jianghe is not good at greeting, he is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he is very popular in the army.

"Alas, who knows, it's not so easy to revitalize the family and seal the marquis immediately, the Eight Banners are so vicious, brave generals like Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao are all lost in the hands of the Eight Banners, the Qi family's army, the white pole soldiers, and the famous army of the Ming Dynasty have all been wiped out, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, so many commanders have died or surrendered, it is so easy to make war achievements." Baihu sighed.

"This time, the Chen family kid has made a great contribution, and everyone said what reward the court will give?" An officer said.

"It's just a fourth-level decapitation, what kind of great achievement is it? broke the sky and the official was promoted to one level, and Chen Jianghe was promoted from the general to the thousand. The general flag said sourly.

Well, everyone nodded, according to the military system, it is true, but it is also a great leap to be promoted from the total to the thousand, and many generals will not be able to cross this threshold in their lifetime.

"What about the Chen family boy? The four Qing soldier heads were all captured by him! The officer continued.

"I guess he will be appointed as the general flag, he is not even an official sergeant now, it is impossible to raise it too quickly." The general flag pouted and said, thinking that a stinky boy was on the same level as himself, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

The officers nodded in agreement with his analysis.

However, five days later, the news of the promotion of the Chen family's father and son came, which really surprised everyone. Chen Jianghe lived up to expectations and was appointed by the imperial court as the president of Qian, and was still stationed in Xibianmen, becoming the top boss of the officers present. However, Chen Yue was not appointed as the general banner, but was appointed as the inspector of the Xishan Inspection Division by the Ministry of Officials!

Chen Yue is from a military family, how could he be appointed as an inspector? The officers on the Xibian Gate couldn't help but be puzzled. It has always been a civil and military career, although the inspection is only an official position that does not enter the stream, but it is also a civil official of the imperial court, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. And Chen Yue is just a military household, and he will be appointed as a civilian official, which is really puzzling!

Also puzzled are the Chen family father and son. When he learned that his son was appointed as an inspector, Chen Jianghe was in a daze. The ancestors of the Chen family have been military families for generations, and they are hereditary from hundreds of households, so they never thought that there would be a civil official in the family. Although there are only nine grades in the inspection, according to the official rank, it is far less than the six grades of a hundred households, but one is a civil and a martial artist, and his status is far above that of a hundred households, from this point of view, Chen Jianghe should be pleasantly surprised by his son. However, the Xishan area has always been a place where bandits are rampant, and now there are Qing soldiers outside to enter the customs and wreak havoc, thinking that his son is far away from Beijing to go to such a place to be an official, Chen Jianghe can't help but worry about his son's safety.

Inspection, it turned out to be an inspection! Looking at the appointment document hanging from the city head in his hand and the small official seal, Chen Yue smiled bitterly.

He thought that he would be appointed as the general banner of Xiaoqi, or simply officially join Jinyiwei, but he never thought that he would be appointed as a civil official like the patrol inspector, and he would go to a troubled place like Xishan as an official, isn't this a cheat? There must be something inside and greasy that he doesn't know, after all, this kind of appointment is too unreasonable, Chen Yue thought secretly.

However, whether it is the inside story or the cat, I have no way to find out, a city wall isolates everything, and since the appointment has been issued, there is only one way to go to Xishan to take office! However, the position of inspector is very much in line with Chen Yue's appetite, with an official identity, and far away from the city officialdom and not subject to official constraints, he can take the opportunity to develop his own power and hone his own team. Taking advantage of the entry of the Qing army into the customs and the turmoil in the world, he made a vigorous career.

The Qing soldiers were rampaging in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial army's troops were unable to shrink within the thick walls of the city, and the area north of Gyeonggi River had become a vacuum without government management, and it was the battlefield where they galloped. Looking at the small official seal in his hand, the smile on Chen Yue's face became more and more vigorous.

In the inner city, in an official residence on Qipan Street, an old man in his sixties silently looked at the sky to the west, and his heart was faintly unbearable.

The boy surnamed Chen, this time the old man is sorry for you, we don't know each other, you have made military achievements, but I sent you to the place of bandits as an official. However, if the jade is not cut, it will not be made, and the heavens will be entrusted to the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds. You are an uncarved piece of jade, I will never let you in the Beijing camp in the big dye vat with the same stream, the vast sky outside Beijing is the place where the eagle spreads its wings, I hope you can temper yourself, become the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the mainstay!

In the coal yard in the city, Wu Wan'er sat on the chair in a daze and didn't say a word for a long time. He returned safely and made great achievements, but he was appointed as an inspector and stayed away from Beijing to serve in that vicious place.

I don't know when I will be able to return? The world is so chaotic, the Qing soldiers are so vicious, what if he encounters the Qing soldiers of the brigade? There are bandits rampant outside, what if you encounter a large group of bandits? and his younger brother Ah Ping, he is only a sixteen-year-old child, but he has to fight in the army every day!

"You don't have to worry about them, Ah Yue is a man, and a man has to stand up to the sky and do what a man should do. Ah Yue's martial arts are taught by me personally, ten or eight bandits can't get close to him, and there are good hands like Yang Zhengping around him, as long as they don't encounter a large number of Qing soldiers, no one can help them. Looking at Wu Wan'er's stunned appearance, Chen Jianghe had to be comforted.

"Master doesn't need to comfort me, the slave family naturally knows that a good man should be a vigorous career, how can he be at home." Wu Wan'er came back to her senses and smiled at Chen Jianghe.

Since you have a career outside, leave the family to me, I will not only support the Chenjia coal yard, but also dominate the entire coal market in Beijing and destroy all other coal yards! Wu Wan'er's eyes shone with determination.
