A large amount of grain and grass captured in Tong'an County was handed over to Feng Chengshi and Zheng's troops who remained behind, and the latter led the army out of the county and walked south along Xixi until the mouth of the sea before boarding a boat back to the island.

After sending Zhu Chenggong's people away, Su Yan began to deal with the government affairs of the county.

He temporarily exempted Xie Guan, the magistrate of the Qing court, from the guilt of the surrendered county officials, ordered them to temporarily take charge of government affairs, and recruited two teams of Russian garrisons in the city through the system - the light weapons arsenal was currently unable to put into production, and there was a shortage of guns, so he could only recruit Russian-based militiamen equipped with melee weapons.

Subsequently, he left 500 soldiers in the military camp to garrison the county seat, and he led the army to escort the surrendered Qing army of more than 1,700 soldiers back to Quanzhou.

It is worth mentioning that the process of attacking Tong'an County was even smoother than Su Yan imagined, and the losses in it were only half a hundred, which can be described as a complete victory.

There are also the four warships that were exchanged for food, Su Yan temporarily stayed in the hands of Zheng Jun, preparing to come back from Xiamen Island and bring them back together.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of November, Su Yan led the army back to Quanzhou Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the city, he returned to the Admiral's Mansion non-stop, and asked Chen Qiao and others about the results of the government examination, Xie Kan and Lai Zheng worked together to correct the test papers sent successively in these three days, and finally corrected all the test papers of the thirty-three scholars in one government and four counties before Su Yan returned, and listed the top ten people with the highest scores.

In addition to the list of these ten people, there is also a book on the side, on which is the information about these seven people collected by the spy Wang Yuan with the newly recruited spies under the leadership, which very clearly indicates the character of the ten people and the evaluation of him by outsiders, and even whether they peeked at the widow taking a bath when they were children are recorded.

When he saw the latter article, Su Yan couldn't help but be speechless, he could only say that he was worthy of being a spy from Jinyiwei, and his intelligence gathering ability was excellent.

According to the scores of the seven people and the intelligence collected by the spies, Su Yan thought for a while, then lifted the brush and dipped it in ink, and rearranged the ten people, the highest name is Ding Wei, Jinjiang Chen Di people, the second name is Gong Bidi, Jinjiang County people, and the second name is Lin Ripet, Anxi County people, the fourth place is Chen Shengju, Nan'an County people, these four people were awarded Anxi County, Nan'an County, Jinjiang County and Tong'an County magistrates, and the remaining six people were awarded the positions of county officials and chief bookkeepers in each county in turn, and if there is a vacancy, it will be filled from the scholars after the tenth place.

However, the government test also exposed some problems.

Many scholars in Quanzhou Mansion did not agree with the rule of the Righteous Army, feeling that Su Yan was not an official of the Ming Court, nor was he an official of the Qing Court, and the gold content of the official position granted was too low, and at the same time, there were also concerns that once the Qing army came, the scholars who were admitted and appointed as officials were likely to be arrested by the Qing Court on charges of thieves.

If it weren't for Lai Zheng who raised the name of Lai Gao, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, without his father's permission, I am afraid that there will be fewer scholars who come to participate in the government examination, not to mention anything else, Ding Wei, who ranked first, will participate because of Lai Gao's name.

Su Yan doesn't blame them, this is human nature, no scholar is willing to die for a group of rebels who seem to be suppressed at any time, if Su Yan wants to solve this problem, it is not enough to be recognized and canonized by the Ming court, I am afraid that at least he will have to occupy the land of the two provinces, or unify the entire Fujian Province.

Just when Su Yan personally listed the new rankings, Chen Qiao stood up, bowed his hand to Su Yan, and said, "My lord, my subordinates have always had a suggestion, and I just took advantage of this government test to put it forward to you." ”

"Please." Su Yan said.

"Our army has always regarded itself as an anti-Qing righteous army, and has no official name to the outside world, and his subordinates think that they should play an official banner and announce the name and proposition of our army to the Qing court and the world, so that the Qing army will panic as soon as they hear the banner of our army."

After speaking, Chen Qiao paused, and said: "Don't say far away, just take the national surname as an example, when the national surname of the country started from Kinmen in the first year of Yongli, he swore to resist the Qing Dynasty in the name of the loyal and filial piety uncle to recruit the general's criminal subject and the national surname, and it has been a banner for Fujian to resist the Qing Dynasty. ”

Su Yan listened to his words, nodded, and said, "What you said makes sense, but you just want to determine the banner of our army, and there is something particular about it, I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

"Back to the lord, my subordinates already have a draft." After Chen Qiao finished speaking, he straightened up and said, "Please allow your subordinates to borrow paper and pencils." ”

Su Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of please, Chen Qiao rolled up his sleeves, walked to the table, took a pen and paper, and wrote three lines of words on rice paper.

After writing, he put down the pen, gently blew off the ink on the paper, picked up the rice paper again, displayed it in front of Su Yan, and said:

"There are three subordinates who propose, the first one to drive the general of Fuming, the second general Zhenmin, and the third general in red from the sky."

"What does the red-clothed general mean by the sky?" The first two Su Yan can understand it, but with this third name, he doesn't understand it.

"The lord rose from the mountains of southern Fujian to resist the Qing Dynasty like a descend from the sky, and the soldiers under his command were all dressed in red, and the red-clothed general deserved his name." Chen Qiao said with a smile.

“…… There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. Su Yan couldn't laugh or cry, but from choosing one of the three, he personally preferred this red-clothed general from the sky.

Although the first one shows the main purpose of expelling the Tartars, the restoration of vision in the back is completely a snake painting, and it is impossible to restore vision, at most with the help of the banner of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The second one was too limited, and the first one was vetoed by Su Yan.

"What about you?" Chen Qiao looked at Su Yan, wanting to get his final answer.

"I'm not happy with any of the three. Su Yan shook his head, he picked up the pen, wrote seven more words on the paper, and said at the same time: "Fengtian to capture the general, I think this is good." ”

"Fengtian to capture the general." Chen Qiao chewed on the name in his mouth, he nodded, and clapped his hands: "Very good, the name taken by the general is not as good as the subordinates." ”

Look, this can be handed over to a sycophant.

Su Yan didn't expose his sycophants, he smiled, and said to Xie Kan and Lai Zheng who were sitting next to him: "Come and see, if you have no opinions, just choose this." ”

The two came over to watch, but they had no opinion, and the name was decided.

On the same day, Su Yan ordered someone to urgently formulate the seven typed military flags of "Fengtian Recruiting Generals", and officially used this as the name, calling himself Fengtian Recruiting Generals, and restraining his subordinates to change his name to Dashuai from now on, rather than the general of the bad street.

It was also in order to start the name of Fengtian to recruit generals, and the next day, Su Yan personally ordered 2,000 troops and went north to attack Hui'an County, the last county occupied by the Qing army under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture.
