Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son standing in front of him.

Perhaps it was influenced by his son Sanyue's words that Huo Wu was afraid of Tu Sanyin in his heart.

If my brother-in-law is chosen by God, then the actions of their father and son are against the will of heaven. If God protects his own son, then the unlucky one will be their father and son.

In the last battle of Dingyuan, my son went over and caught up with the imperial court to suppress the rebels. This time he ran to the funeral and caught up with the artillery.

If Huo Bao had not been smart and the Ma Village Master had made a quick decision, the Chuzhou Military Camp was next to the Bozhou Military Camp and was within the range of the artillery.

As soon as Huo Wu thought of this, he felt cold sweat blowing on his back.

Huo Wu made up his mind this time and would not let him go out before his son became Ding.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I was nervous.

It is difficult to raise a single seedling. Even if it is a pounding, it is not the same as a pounding method.

But in this way, Huo Bao's scouts would have no chance to go to war, and over time, they would be led by the soldiers of other generals the day after tomorrow.

Huo Wu has ranked his son before the "Great Achievement" to this day.

It was just to protect his son, but he worked alone, so he was thinking about Huo Bao everywhere.

Therefore, Huo Wu asked his son, who was the candidate to guard Lingshui County: "Please choose someone appropriate to be responsible for the matter of Dongshan Gold Mine!"

Mining is not a day or two.

However, Lingshui County is next to Bozhou and Chuzhou, and it is necessary to continue to keep the secrets, so it is not advisable to spread them now.

Those who go there must be trustworthy and endure loneliness.

Huo Bao thought about his subordinates and hesitated among Huo Bao, Li Yuan and Zhu Qiang.

All three of them can stand on their own.

However, "personal soldiers" from Hezhou and Luzhou have been selected, and Li Yuan, the staff and guidance are no longer available.

Otherwise, the staff camp that was shot at before would be empty talk.

Huo Bao is now leading the army alone, and he also has his deputy Liang Zhuang.

But Liang Zhuang is mediocre and does not have Huo Bao above him, so he cannot stand alone.

It seems that the only one who can move it out is Zhu Qiang.

But Zhu Qiang and Huo Bao are both thirteen years old. Even if they are smart and sensible, they are really an age that people cannot completely relieve themselves.

On the contrary, Zhu Qiang's brother Zhu Gang is now Huo Bao's personal captain.

In Jinling City, Huo Bao does not need personal soldiers.

As for the battlefield, after this time, Huo Bao felt that within three or five years, neither his father nor Deng Jian, Ma Village Master would let him go to the battlefield again.

The emergence of firearms makes people feel frightened and makes more variables on the battlefield.

Even if Huo Bao has great power, he is a human being, not a steel bar, and under the power of a firearm, it is not worth mentioning.

The three armies under the command of the child soldiers can go to war.

Zhu Gang, the personal captain, was instead bound and had no chance to make achievements.

"Just Zhu Gang, be steady and obedient!"

Huo Bao made a decision.

Huo Wu nodded and agreed to this matter.

The Zhu family father and son are people who can trust the Huo family.

The battle in Yangzhou is imminent, so the general of Shuijin should not be outside.

Zhu Gang received a secret order that day and took five hundred subordinates to Lingshui County.

As for the three thousand Chuzhou troops in Lingshui County, they would divide two thousand and Zhu Gang to stay in Dongshan Gold Mine for a permanent stay, and one thousand stationed in Lingshui.

Lingshui is so sensitive that the county magistrate is not easy to use trustworthy people, so he formally appointed the younger brother of the Mazhaizhu.

If someone else is the leader, you must weigh the pros and cons. If you think that the gold mine is a big deal, you should not use the Mazhaizhu.

But Huo Wu knew in his heart that if he was really guarding against the Horse Master that day, then everyone else would not believe it.

The leader of the Ma village is also very erotic and cannot treat each other with sincerity, but will only drift away gradually.

The vacant Quyang County Magistrate also made a candidate.

He was the first to participate in the Jinling official examination and an old juren.

The official test list has not been released yet, but Master Lin personally reviewed the papers and the ranking has been determined.

The old Juren had served as a criminal document in the prefect's office before and was known as the Qing Dynasty.

Although he was appointed as the prefect of Jinling, he also made money, but he also restrained himself and relied on the ability of the imperial examination documents.

When the prefect of Jinling took office in April, he unscrupulously scraped the land, households and torture houses became the hardest hit areas.

The people's small lawsuit for demolishing the wall fell into the hands of the prefect, and they also ended up beating the plaintiff and beating the defendant, and their family was destroyed.

The old torture house was unwilling to join in, so he retreated on the excuse of "old age".

The prefect of Jinling was selling happily, hoping that Lao Zhengfang, a discomfortable document, would be relied on the spot.

When the Chuzhou army occupied Jinling, Deng Jian first slaughtered all foreign officials in the prefect's yamen.

After the Taiwei Mansion was opened, after the official examination notice was issued, he began to clean up the minions who had relied on the new magistrate to serve as accomplices.

The old torture room was also falsely accused by his former colleagues.

When the soldiers of the army arrived, the old torture room was very desperate and even told their wills to tell their wives and children not to make trouble, so as not to avoid the family being spared.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Jinling Prefect's Office, I just asked questions normally.

The prefect Song Lin even met the old torture room in person and invited him to come out and take on the position of criminal law document.

This is the one who retired from Xiao Jiuqing. Her demeanor made Lao Xingfang feel very disappointed.

However, he still politely declined Song Lin's invitation because he decided to participate in the official examination.

Although he still starts with an official after the exam, he may not be more decent than the prefectural office documents in the prefect's office, but he still wants to give it a try.

He has been in the officialdom for many years and has been an official for more than 20 years. He understands the importance of background.

Now that he accepts Song Lin's invitation and re-appointed as the seal of the torture room. He seems to have a high starting point, but he will never be the direct line of the Chuzhou army and he still has the shadow of the old official of Daning.

After the examination of the officials, he started from the lower-level officials and became the direct line of the Chuzhou Army.

It is impossible to say that this is a turning point.

The old torture room and old juren who have been in the fortification for more than 20 years, took the exam together with a bunch of children and scholars, and it is not surprising that they won the top spot.

When Master Lin heard that the magistrate of Quyang County was vacant, he picked out the resume of this person and recommended it to Huo Wu.

Such experienced veterans are a good person in stable places.

It was just a lesson. Before this person was released, Huo Wu planned to invite the old monk to come forward and "tell the lesson" to this person.

It would be bad if you don’t teach me.

If you know your mistakes and make mistakes, you will be more sinful than you, and there is no reason for forgiveness.

Huo Wu had decided to leave all the officials in Jinling to the old monk first, learn the rules of the Chuzhou army, and then send them on.

...

Although he had only been away for more than ten days, Huo Bao realized that Jinling City was different.

Most of the city walls that have collapsed for many years have been repaired.

Due to the war, the shops that were somewhat deserted have returned to their former state.

"good!"

Huo Bao followed Master Lin, looked at the people coming and going, and sincerely praised: "Mr. Song is a capable minister, but he was useless in Hezhou before!"

Master Lin touched his beard and said, "It is difficult for a noble son from a poor family to be born. If he is not a capable minister, he will not be able to survive the position of Xiaojiuqing."

The poor family here is not a poor family.

After all, at this time, the real poor have no chance or money to learn to read.

This is compared to the "high gate", which refers to the people's home that has nothing to do with.

After saying this, Master Lin fell silent.

Huo Shun went to Liaoyang in May, and it has been May so far, and there has been no news back.

Not only Master Lin was worried, but Huo Wu and his son were also secretly anxious.

Later, the second batch of people were sent to Liaoyang, but because the road was far away, there was no news yet.

Seeing this, Huo Bao couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Sir, there is no news, it's good news!"

Master Lin glanced at him and said, "Why don't you talk about my face? What did you see this time?"

Huo Bao smiled and said, "I guess it's a happy event in my family..."
