Yongningwei, founded in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, is an important coastal defense station of Gongwei Quanzhou Fucheng, at that time with Tianjin Wei, Weihaiwei called the country's three Davids.

However, after more than 200 years of vicissitudes and the slaughter of the Japanese during the Jiajing period, this fortified acropolis has been dilapidated, the city walls have even collapsed in many places, and most of the people living in it have fled to the interior, leaving only hundreds of Qing soldiers still stationed.

Although these hundreds of Qing soldiers were not a threat to Su Yan, how could they allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, not to mention that this Yongningwei might also affect the maritime trade of Quanzhou Port, Su Yan categorically could not allow them to continue to exist.

Therefore, Su Yan temporarily handed over the command of the Shenji Battalion to Su Ci, and incorporated the twelve falcon cannons into the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, so that Su Ci immediately led the army to attack Yongningwei.

In fact, Su Yan can go by himself, but he has another important thing to do right now-

That is to relocate the small arms arsenal located in Dehua County to Quanzhou Prefecture.

He could not move the arsenal through the system, so he could only send Feng Chengshi away, and then led the personal guards to return to Dehua County.

By the way, he also wants to inspect the situation in the counties he is currently occupying and check the degree of implementation of the policy of apportioning land to mu.

There were no militias stationed in Anxi and Nan'an counties, so after Su Yan occupied Quanzhou, he transferred a team of militia from Dehua and Yongchun to the two counties to replace the government officials in the city.

After inspecting a few laps, he saw that at least on the surface, it was developing in a good direction, so Su Yan continued to rush towards Dehua County, and arrived at Dehua County at noon the next day.

As soon as he entered the city, Su Yan came to the gate of the light weapons arsenal, and it was time for dinner, and the workers in work clothes came out of the factory one after another and ate at the roadside stalls far away from the factory - don't underestimate the money-making vision of the ancient working people, they will also set up stalls to make money in places with more people, which can almost be said to be a habit that has been handed down since ancient times.

Entering the arsenal, Su Yan opened up the system space.

"System, how do I move the arsenal to Quanzhou Mansion?"

He said silently in his heart.

[The host only needs to confirm in the system, and the workers in the arsenal will split and pack the machine and go to Quanzhou Mansion, which costs 5,000 taels of silver to migrate, and the host also needs to prepare a site or building in Quanzhou Mansion that is enough to accommodate the arsenal. 】

Su Yan thought about it, if the arsenal is built in the city, it is a problem that there is not so much building space, and confidentiality is also a problem, but if it is built outside the city, the threat of the surrounding Qing army has not been calmed, and he is afraid that the Qing army will come and destroy his arsenal.

He thought about it again, recalling the layout of Quanzhou City, and suddenly thought of a place in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's move to Hutou Mountain in Quanzhou City." ”

Hutou Mountain is in the north of Zicheng, next to the City God Temple, there are not many residents, and it is not a bad choice to build the arsenal there, just move the residents of the mountain to other places, and then block the entire mountain, you can achieve strict secrecy.

Thinking of this, Su Yan nodded and said, "Let's move to Hutou Mountain in Quanzhou." ”

[The light weapons arsenal will be moved to Hutou Mountain, the capital city of Quanzhou, there is not enough building space here to accommodate machines, the system will automatically build the arsenal building, and it will cost an additional 4,000 taels of silver, a total of 9,000 taels, and it will take two months, please confirm with the host. 】

"Confirm."

[The light weapons arsenal has ceased production, and will not be able to produce weapons and ammunition until it is successfully relocated to Quanzhou Fucheng and restarted. 】

As soon as Su Yan's words fell, the system's prompt sounded in his ears again, he had already been mentally prepared for this situation, nodded, but didn't say anything.

After personally confirming the order for the relocation of the light weapons arsenal, Su Yan returned the same way, and when he returned to Yongchun County, he took Tong Guoqi, who had been locked in prison for a long time, with a cavalry regiment that had already been trained, and returned to Quanzhou together.

Although Tong Guoqi has been locked up in prison, he is not ignorant of the outside world, he has long known the news of the fall of Quanzhou Mansion, according to the jailer who guarded him, Tong Guoqi after hearing the news like crazy destroyed all the things that could be destroyed in the cell, and also kicked over the rice bowl sent to him by the jailer, and roared to the sky.

After that period of madness, Tong Guoqi's whole person sat in place like a deflated ball, his eyes were blank, and until now he was taken out of the prison by Su Yan, he still had the expression of a dead mother.

Su Yancai doesn't care what his mental outlook is, as long as this guy doesn't die, the living Tong Guoqi is much more valuable than the dead Tong Guoqi, and he still wants to exchange Tong Guoqi for benefits with the Hongguang Imperial Court.

The next day, when Su Yan returned to the city of Quanzhou, the triumphant news sent from Yongningwei had already been placed on his table in the governor's mansion, and the Qing army of Yongningwei had low morale and had no intention of resisting when he learned that Quanzhou had fallen, so after Su Ci fired a few cannons at Yongningwei, the Qing soldiers in the acropolis went out of the city and surrendered under the leadership of the garrison.

After learning the good news of Yongningwei's recovery, Su Yan transferred a general of the Chinese military camp to take over Yongningwei and stationed here, Su Ci led the Shenji Battalion back to Quanzhou to prepare for the expedition two days later.

……

The next day, the first day of November, the day of the government examination.

Early in the morning, the scholars from all counties of Quanzhou Prefecture had breakfast early, rushed to the county school examination centers with a day's worth of dry food, and were placed in the examination center after being searched by the militia officials, and sat in their respective seats in an orderly manner, waiting for the examiners to distribute the test papers.

The test paper of the government examination is Chen Qiao and Xie Kan, plus Lai Zheng and the three of them worked together to make suggestions, although the test paper still has not changed the eight shares, but this is also the only way to select talents from the people.

It is worth mentioning that the chief examiners of the two counties of Dehua Yongchun are all local magistrates, that is, Liu Wenmin and Li Daotai, and because there is no magistrate in Anxi Nan'an County, they invited the local elders to invigilate the examination - they are not afraid that they will cheat in tandem with each other, because there are militiamen patrolling with guns in the venue.

As for the test center in Fucheng, Chen Qiao did not attend in person, but was invigilated by his fellow acquaintance Xie Kan, and Su Yan also made a temporary cameo appearance as an examiner because of curiosity, but the boredom of the invigilation still made him leave the test center while the candidates were resting.

The results of the government examination did not come out so quickly, so the test papers from each county had to be sent to Quanzhou City first, and then Xie Kan and Lai Zheng would personally revise the papers, and hand over the list of high-scorers to Su Yan, and then Su Yan would circle the people who won the list according to the evaluation of these people on the list on weekdays.

Of course, because Su Yan was going to go to Tong'an in the second day of junior high school, he could only wait for him to lead the army to triumph before making a decision, and at that time, he could also assign officials to the newly occupied Tong'an County.
