Luodingcheng did not have the Zhizhou appointed by the Qing Dynasty, but there was a group of scribes left by the former Ming Dynasty Zhizhou Yamen. At the beginning of the year, after Li Dingguo's army retreated from Xinhui and returned to Guangxi, Luoding was reoccupied by the Qing army.

Luoding is the Zhili Prefecture of Guangdong, according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, Zhili Prefecture is at the same level as the government, and the state is at the same level as the county, so the grade of Luoding Zhizhou is not low, and the same as the prefect is the fourth grade, so the rank, people who want to be Luoding Zhizhou naturally have to go. But the fact is that although the Qing army has occupied Luoding for three months, until now, Guangzhou has not discussed a new candidate for Zhizhou, and no one is willing to come to be the four Zhizhou, so Luoding's Zhizhou Yamen has always been the main vacancy, and the affairs in the yamen are all handled by those small secretaries.

No one has come to do it, and this matter is unusual. When Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, appointed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, went south to Guangdong, the Qing court, in order to seize Guangdong at the lowest cost and as quickly as possible, ordered the officials to give these two princes a large number of blank official seals, allowing them to act cheaply in Guangdong. This means that Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao have the right to directly appoint Guangdong officials, and they only need to report to the Ministry of Officials afterwards, which is a treatment that Wu Sangui, who is also a prince, has never enjoyed.

Not only did these two vassal kings have the power to appoint officials, but the new governor of Guangdong, Li Shutai, also had this power, and his governor's yamen was followed by a lot of scholars from the north, most of these people were from a high background, and there were some talents in the occasional show, looking at them one by one, waiting for themselves to be sent out by the governor to be an official.

Under the prince, under the governor, so many people are waiting to be officials, but no one is willing to be the governor of Luo Ding, who is the fourth product, but instead pushes the book and obstructs the four, and pushes and pushes in every way, resulting in Luo Ding not being the chief official for three months, this thing sounds ridiculous, and the reason is actually simple.

They, this is afraid of Li Dingguo!

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty mentioned that the Qing army all talked about the tiger's color change, and the Han army that surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty asked the Qing court to "send real Manchurian soldiers" whenever the military situation was urgent.

The Ming army was so timid that it naturally greatly increased the prestige of the Manchurian officers and soldiers, and the Qing court regarded the Manchurian soldiers as the pride of the sky, believing that as long as the Manchurian soldiers came out, they would be invincible and no one could stop them. As a result, Li Dingguo "became two famous kings" in Guilin and Hengyang, which broke the myth of the invincibility of the Qing army at once, which made the Qing court tremble, and Shunzhi even gave birth to the idea of negotiating peace with the Southern Ming on the condition of ceding Jiangnan.

The emperor is still like this, and the mentality of the officials below can naturally be imagined. During the nine and ten years of Shunzhi, Beijing officials regarded being sent to the south as an official to send them to death, evaded the appointment of officials, and even asked people to pay bribes to escape the southern faction, and even pretended to be sick in order not to go to Guangxi to take office, and as a result, they were hanged by the mad Shunzhi.

After Li Dingguo's army was transferred to Guangdong, although he suffered two successive defeats, the loss of his headquarters was not large, and the Qing army in Guangdong still did not dare to fight head-on with Li Dingguo's army, and only dared to bully other Southern Ming soldiers and horses in Guangdong, such as the subordinates of Lian Chengbi, the governor of Liangguang, and the righteous division led by the scholar Guo Zhiqi.

Dealing with the miscellaneous army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army in Guangdong can be said to have won a hundred battles, but even so, they still did not dare to fight Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses, but they were afraid when they heard Li Dingguo's name. Under such circumstances, which of those Han scholars who sold themselves to the Manchu Qing Dynasty dared to come to Luoding to be officials? You must know that this Luo Ding is close to Gaozhou City, where Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses are stationed!

Not only is there a bad neighbor beside it, Luoding is a typical poor mountain and bad water, not only the Yunwu Mountain passes through the state, but also borders the mountains of Guangxi, and Dong'an and Xining under the jurisdiction of the state are out of people.

Besides, the Qing army in Guangdong had just occupied the Chaoshan region where Hao Shangjiu was entrenched, which was the land of water and rice, and was rich in products, and this rich land was not a hundred times stronger than the ghost place of Luoding? didn't sharpen his head and drill the camp there, but came to Luoding to die, what a ghost can do!

There was no magistrate to preside, and during the period when Kong Guoliang's Jiangxi Green Battalion was stationed in Luoding, the required supplies were basically handled by those scribes and officials of the Zhizhou Yamen. And these clerks are all people from Benzhou who live in Luoding without exception, and most of them are still sons inheriting their father's business, and they will be on errands in the yamen in the Ming Dynasty.

The change of dynasty is not a big deal for these local snakes, as long as Luo Ding still has an official government for a day, they will not worry about losing their jobs.

Officials and officials, it is not enough to have officials without officials, so many affairs, who can manage them alone, and they have to rely on them to do everything!

When the Ming army came, they were the officials of the Ming Dynasty; The Qing army is coming, and as soon as the hair is removed, he is the official of the Qing Dynasty, and he will not delay at any end!

This is indeed the case, although Luo Ding has changed hands back and forth in the hands of the Ming and Qing dynasties in recent years, and the officials have changed several times, what has always remained the same is that these clerks in the yamen cannot be moved!

The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and after hearing the sound of the Ming army entering the city outside, the clerks were not nervous at all. Those who were at home told their families to keep the gates closed and to have buckets of water in the yard just in case. Those who are in the yamen honestly lock themselves in the public house, regardless of any movement outside, they will not come out after being killed, and if anyone comes in, they will kneel! This is the protection of the wise!

After dawn, it was determined that Kong Guoliang's green battalion had been destroyed, and Luo Dingcheng had been surnamed Ming since today, and a cadre of clerks at home and in the Yamen came to the front of the lobby of the Zhizhou Yamen collectively, knelt on the ground with a brush, and then respectfully asked the new Daming Luo Dingzhizhou to give orders. Some people were in a hurry, and even cut their braids, but others knew that the braids were still in their arms, and when the Qing army came again, they would just get some glutinous rice paste to stick to them.

Boss Hu was a rough man, where could he manage this matter, so he hurriedly called someone to invite Song Xianggong and Zhou Shixiang.

Zhou Shi didn't have much malice towards these little clerks, and he didn't have any good feelings, but Song Xianggong was very happy to see them, and Zhang Luo let these people move.

There are those who go to count the money and grain in the state, those who go to count the population in the city, those who go to count the damaged materials, those who help coordinate and maintain order, and those who are busy posting notices to reassure the people.

With this group of skilled hands, Song Xianggong is like a fish in water, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all, Luo Dingzhizhou's yamen is running, and the efficiency is faster than that of the gang of Zhengzheng and big households he organized.

The bookstore that wrote the Anmin notice was an old showman, with gray braids and gray beard, but the words were written beautifully, and he wrote them freely, and he saw that Song Xianggong and Zhou Shixiang nodded frequently, and praised a few words.

Recognized and praised by "Shangguan", Lao Xiucai was also refreshed, and he wrote the words of Yongli for eight years under the notice, and then asked Lord Zhizhou to seal it.

How could Song Xianggong have a seal, but fortunately, Hu Quan had a big seal of the general, so he took it over and covered it immediately. Seeing that it was the seal of the general, Lao Xiucai was very stunned, and he didn't dare to ask, so he retreated.
