The regiment was made in 1807 and didn't yet have a permanent garrison, but just stayed around the country, where Müller led an enjoyable, unbounded life, that soon continued beyond Zealand, without it leading to a serious fight.
In December 1813 the regiment combined with the Kolding reserve corps, where Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel took them down to Flensburg; but shortly after it had to march back to the army on Funen at the king's command.
Before the home march back to Denmark, Gotthold married the daughter of Gen. Caspar Friedrich von Gähler, which got him in a high social position.
After coming back home from France, Müller had a calm period in the regiments first garrison in Aarhus, until he in 1833 became an adjutant of Ferdinand.
He was interrupted during his time as a courtier by several trips, including to look over troop exercises in Odessa, Lüneburg and Baden, but mostly through his participation in the First Schleswig War.
