An official position that is more dangerous than the dangerous Zhongxian County is the guardian of the border area.

The military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty was undoubtedly the worst among the major countries in East Asia. Xiu Dao was a futu horse team without Jin people, a elite army like the Liao Dynasty's palace horses, and even the well-equipped imperial guards and luxurious armored sect formations that could not be reborn in the army after the Southern Transit.

The inferiority of the Southern Song armed forces came from the shrinking of territory on the one hand, and the political corruption and fatigue of administrative efficiency brought about by long-term peace. However, what is more beneficial than in the north is that the government army has at least three things to rely on: the steep terrain, the skillful city-guarding technology and the courage to sacrifice one's own hands and hands.

Unfortunately, these three things are not often found on the battlefield, and even often they are not. When confronting the Jin army, which was mainly recruited by the original main source of the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song army was often defeated. The defeated guards would only face three outcomes.

In Zheng Yunming's opinion, surrendering should be the best choice, at least he can save his life. But whether it is the education of loyalty to the country in his previous life or after his reincarnation, Zheng Yunming cannot let his face down and make such a choice. Isn't this clearly letting himself die?

"You don't have to worry about this," the night was already deep, and Zheng Yunqing, who had sent away the emperor and all officials. He was sitting leisurely and tidying up his ears. "Xiangyang is the leader of the world's strong city, and the location of the Rongsi Governor of Jinghu. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers inside and outside the city, and there are also top-notch generals like Zhao Fan who are in charge of the court. What are you afraid of? Even if the Northern Barbarians attack the country, the Xiangyang City will still have their teeth lost."

"The Shishi Controller..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Yesterday morning, I had already approved the memorial of Shi Songzhi's request to resign from the Jinghu General. When the Secretariat seal is stamped tomorrow, he will have to go home and live freely."

"Then will the new Jinghu Commander?" A big stone in Zheng Yunming's heart fell to the ground, but it is still necessary to understand his immediate boss clearly.

"Don't panic, it's Zhao Fan. I sold him such a big favor in the battle of Luo. He will never leave it difficult for you, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to."

"Please make it clear by my father?"

"Recently, there have been many thieves in Dongting, and thieves on the river frequently appear. Your safety in taking office is a matter."

"It's enough to bring more servants and bodyguards with you. Why not bring one or two guns and sticks in the mansion?" Zheng Yunming thought to himself that he was just a fisherman holding a kitchen knife and a farmer holding a hoe. Why bother making such a fuss, and not paying much attention.

"Hmph, the thieves on the river are very fierce. They can't deal with the three punches and two kicks of these military servants in the mansion. But you don't have to worry, and you have found a powerful character for your father to help you."

"It is inappropriate to dispatch the army along the way for the child to be alone, so please think twice."

"Don't count on those straw sandal soldiers as soon as possible. Don't talk about you, some guys may not buy it even if they go for their father. They are not a man in the government, but a famous hero in the world."

"How could my father have contacted people in the martial arts world?" Zheng Yunming was surprised. You should know that Zheng Qingzhi has always been a scholar who is not inferior to contemporary scholars. He and the martial arts world are simply impossible to have intersections on two tracks.

"Haha, I'm just allowed you to make friends with craftsmen in the capital, so don't you know a few local heroes for your father?" Zheng Qingzhi's eyes suddenly showed a little sharpness: "That's something that happened a long time ago..."

Zheng Yunming raised his ears and prepared to listen to a secret of the temple and the world. However, his father was interrupted by his sleeve: "It's all old things, let's talk about what he does. Prepare your bags well, and you'll send them a letter. You'll set off immediately after receiving them, don't miss the official date."

Zheng Yunming had no choice but to bring his curiosity into his stomach and bowed and replied, "I understand."

Lin'an Prefecture in October is the early winter season. Although it has not started to snow yet, the continuous drizzle has already made the coldness of invading people's skin. On such a cold day, the first batch of new local officials who received the Ministry of Personnel's document carried simple luggage and embarked on their journey to take office, officially starting their career as officials of the Song Dynasty.

Dozens of servants gathered on the dock followed the wife Xiao of the imperial decree and came to see the young master farewell to Jingzhou, thousands of miles away for office. Zheng Qingzhi naturally would not say goodbye by himself, but he had already advised Zheng Yunming in the hall for almost an hour, talking about his former political ideals, the various evil and illegal laws of local officials, the conflicts between officials and the people, and various unspoken rules for treating superiors and subordinates. It is obvious that Zheng Qingzhi was full of worries about this son who had been knowledgeable but was quite "a cynical" in his life and stepped into the officialdom.

Mrs. Xiao was always worried about her son's body, and the servants behind her were full of various ingredients and supplements.

"Child, come and bring this jar of konjac. This was presented to the emperor last year by Yue Kingdom. The emperor gave it to your father again. It is a good nourishing product. You can use it well. Use it twice a day on weekdays. If it is not enough, my mother will send someone to send it to you." Xiao said as he brought over a small silver altar that sealed the mouth of the altar with gold silk, his eyes full of pity.

"Mom, such a small jar of things on the market is already the whole property of a hundred middle-class families. My son is carrying such expensive things outside to recruit robbers. You can keep them for food for yourself." As he said that, Zheng Yunming patted the burden beside Xian'er and said with a smile: "It's enough for my son to take office to carry three luggage. One carries clothes, one carries four treasures in the study, and one carries books. It's a trouble to bring other things."

"What do you know? You haven't gone out far away alone. You often say: It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out. You're alone..." Xiao said as he said that his eyes turned red again. Let this child who had been sick since childhood go to such a faraway place in Jingzhou to be an official. How could he not worry about his mother and worry about him?

"Mom is so worried. My scholars are taught by saints to govern the people for the royal family. If they cannot overcome this difficult journey, how can they manage the people?" Zheng Yunming said, lifting his robe and kneeling down: "The child has nothing else to worry about, but he can't go home this time. He can't be filial to his parents. When he is in Jingzhou, he will pray to God every day that his father and mother can be healthy and that his younger brothers and sisters can grow up smoothly, so that the child can be at ease as an official outside."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but burst into tears. She pulled Zheng Yunming to remind her, but refused to part. Zheng Yunming had to harden his heart and comfort her again and kowtowed to her mother a few more times before turning around and boarding the official ship sent by Lin'an Prefecture.

The official ship pulled out the stone and sailed, and went further and further, it soon turned into a black spot on the water line. After a moment, it completely disappeared from the sight of a group of people on the shore. Xiao looked in the direction where Zheng Yunming was leaving for a long time before returning home with tears.

After Zheng Yunming came over, he had a long relationship with his reborn parents. This time he suddenly parted, and felt sad. He stood at the bow of the boat facing the slow wind, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Suddenly, Xian'er shouted behind him: "Young Master, look, there is also an official boat there!"

Zheng Yunming raised his eyes and looked at it. Sure enough, not far ahead, there was an official boat sailing and strolling across the waves and looking west. I think they were all officials leaving Beijing to take office.

Although they were both official ships, Zheng Yunming's official ship was personally selected by the prefect of Lin'an. The ship was sailing fast, and soon it had arrived not far behind the small boat in front. At this time, he found that in addition to the ship, there was a young man lying high on the stern, wearing this Confucian scholar scarf and pure white, and reading with relish. Zheng Yunming was very familiar with this outfit.

"Scholar Guo!" Zheng Yunming shouted to the ship in front of him: "We are really destined to be!"

The young man stood up in surprise, looked at it, then bowed his hand and shouted, "I didn't expect to hit Brother Zheng when I was Li Jing. Is it really a grudge that I had made in my previous life!"

The young talent among the three masters of Lin'an who is the best at the classics and is also an outstanding young disciple under Mr. Heshan. He is known as the number one talent among young people. He is known as the most likely student to enter the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. Even Wei Leweng couldn't help but show his face when he mentioned it.

Because he joined the school of a famous teacher in the same year as Guo Shaozong, as the war in the academic circles that argued about the status of Master Shin-ji, Zheng Yunming was also frequently compared with Guo Shaozong by the Taishou students. Of course, every time the comparison between disciples made the Ting-jin school frustrated. One was a rich second-generation powerful man with a little confused and slightly sloppy smile, and the other was a well-educated and well-informed scholar model. The huge gap between the middle made Zhende-soo lose a lot of points.

Not only others' comments, but even the two people who were mentioned and compared each time were disturbed. The various evaluations used by others almost filled the ears of the two. Not to mention that Zheng Yunming had a secretly dissatisfied heart, even Guo Shaozong couldn't help but get angry when the Zheng family's yamen mentioned.

Coincidentally, the two of them went to the imperial examination together and passed the examination together. Now they were appointed as officials at the same time. It is really better for human arrangements than God. Zheng Yunming smiled bitterly in his heart and shouted loudly: "Brother Guo, don't worry! We will be in the local government afterwards, and it will be difficult for us to meet again! Where will Brother Guo take the post this time?"

"I will go to De'an Mansion ahead to take on the post of General Parliament. What position will Brother Zheng take on!"

"I am appointed as the counselor of the Jinghu Transportation Commissioner! Jinghu is an important town that controls the fate of the country. De'an Prefecture is also a barrier to the safety of Jinghu. When Shaozong left, Zheng Yunming thanked the safety of millions of ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River first!" Zheng Yunming said deeply and bowed.

Guo Shaozong was slightly stunned, then bowed and returned the favor slightly, "Since ancient times, there was so much money and grain, Brother Yunming's burden was not light! Shaozong also said to Brother Zheng first for the people in front and behind!"

At that time, the wind gradually rose, blowing Zheng Yunming's brocade robe. Zheng Yunming suddenly felt infinite passion and ambition in his heart. He took a step and shouted loudly: "I will devote my whole life to the people of the country and the people of the country and die!"

The big ship raised its sails and sailed through the wind and waves, and soon rushed past the small boat. Guo Shaozong looked at Zheng Yunming who was gradually passing by himself, and immediately felt full of enthusiasm and replied: "We should devote ourselves to the country and the emperor, and we will die until we die!"

Zheng Yunming turned around and bowed deeply to Guo Shaozong. When he turned around, the sun shone through the thick clouds on the bow of the boat, reflecting thousands of rays of rays. Even if the road ahead was extremely bumpy, how could it stop a man's passionate and loyal heart to serve the country.
