On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Xu Zixian will take his little sister and Xiuniang back to live in Fucheng.

This return to the city brought back almost all the tooth generals, Qin Dongyang and Liu Yi led the team, in addition to more than 100 tooth generals, all the cavalry of the regimental training cavalry were also all accompanied.

With the protection of these more than 200 people, unless Lin Douyao or Pu Shougao went crazy, openly rebelled, and transferred the forbidden army to attack the Hou Mansion, otherwise, they could rest assured in terms of safety.

Most of the captured iron armor was put on the tooth generals, and the rest of the chain mail, leather armor, and cotton armor were given priority to equip the cavalry, and then the sword players of each battalion.

Now all the tooth generals, cavalry, and nearly 100 sword players are all wearing armor, and the number of long hand armor is less than thirty percent, compared with the armor of the forbidden army to Nan'an regiment training, there is still a gap, but it is almost the same.

Kong He, Fu Qian and others have negotiated the price with the Zhang family in Tingzhou, and when the money is abundant after the year, they will continue to order weapons and iron armor one after another, Xu Zixian's goal is to replace all the regimental training soldiers with iron armor in the middle of next year, and the newly established water battalion will all wear chain mail or leather armor.

The aftermath of the war is still there, Wei Yi came to the town on behalf of Fuzhou Weekly, wrote a special article, published a year ago, maybe before the Lantern Festival, the Nan'an regiment practiced the defeat of pirates, and the glorious record of beheading thousands of levels will spread all over the Great Wei.

Xu Zixian will become famous again, but this time it is not with filial piety, but with real and proud military exploits.

The appeasement envoy pinched his nose and reported his exploits, no matter how reluctant Lin Douyao was, he had to report it truthfully, and he would naturally impeach Xu Zixian, who was said to be arrogant and lawless, and he was not guilty of other crimes.

The patrol envoys, the punishment envoys, the metropolitan governor's mansion, and the Fuzhou mansion all have special folds to the two prefectures, and then the two prefectures are transferred to the imperial front.

On the 26th, Xu Zixian ordered the distribution of money to all the soldiers, regardless of officers and non-commissioned officers, who received a rich reward a year ago.

At least ten yuan per person, of course, it is a huge amount of money for the soldiers who saved less than ten yuan in the previous year.

The jubilant atmosphere diluted the grief of the soldiers who died in the war when they were buried, and the seriously wounded soldiers who died one after another in the past few days, a total of 71 people died in battle, and the deaths of more than 70 people seemed insignificant to the victory of the thousand-level head, but for the families of the dead soldiers, it was still an irreparable grief.

When the burial was drizzling, people were depressed, and many people in the town also came to see off the deceased.

Xu Zi first chose a place on the bank of the Nan'an River that was higher and could not be flooded for the soldiers to be buried together, and of course these lands also belonged to the Hou Mansion.

It is regarded as a martyr's cemetery, centralized burial, concentrated memorial, there are a small number of family members of the family to bring the body back to the family cemetery for burial, for many people's families, can be buried together with their dead relatives and comrades, by the government from time to time to pay tribute is also a rare honor, they are willing to accept such an arrangement.

Many of the families of the dead soldiers were taken to the almshouse north of the vegetable garden, and most of these were poor and weak families with only the elderly, women, and children, and there was no clan to take care of them.

There are very large clans here in Fujian, and it is common for large clans of tens of thousands of people to live together. Some of them are small clans that have not even formed clans, mainly because the time for moving here is too short, and they are not moving from a single clan, so it is difficult to form a situation where large clans live together.

In Ganzhou, Meizhou, Huizhou and Tingzhou, Fujian, here are the Hakka tribe settlements, sometimes the court decrees are difficult to implement, many government affairs are simplified to the clan level to implement, the big clan is concentrated, thousands of men are more than 10,000, and the power of the clan elders is greater than the government is also the norm.

Here in Fuzhou, there are not many large families who have moved out to live together, and there are not too many obstacles in governance.

If it is like the Hakka four states, the big clan often has more than 10,000 men, I am afraid that Xu Zixian has no chance to spread at all, and the position of group training can only be selected among the big clans, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

There is no clan to rely on, and there are many lonely old people, women and children in the family, and the Nan'an Hou Mansion moved to take care of them, of course, all the soldiers and the merchants and people in the town praised each other.

In addition, everyone has money, and the uninjured soldiers are not only given ten times, but also those who have meritorious, beheaded, and trapped, all have officers to report, and soldiers can also report themselves, Kong He and Chen Zuocai and others have been busy for several days, reporting the list of meritorious soldiers, ranging from 100 to 10 times.

At this moment, the entire Nan'an and several nearby towns were boiling.

The men who are still in the prime of life are red-eyed, they have worked hard for a year, but they can save more than ten yuan, they used to be the same as themselves in the soil, and the partners who worked as casual workers in various towns were worth dozens of dollars at once, more than 100 yuan, this difference, of course, made these middle-aged men envious and jealous.

As for the women, they are even more anxious to jump their feet, although they are worried about their lives when they go into battle, but more than 1,600 people died and seventy-one people died, who can say that it is the turn of their own men? As long as you don't die, you can enjoy prosperity in peace, who wouldn't want to?

Even if a man dies in battle, he still has the money to settle down or go to a solator to settle down, and the Hou Mansion will always provide for him, as long as the Nan'an Hou Mansion is there, he doesn't have to worry about not having food and clothing.

Later generations may think that these women are ruthless, but if they are told to be busy for survival all year round, the elderly and children cannot afford medicine when they are sick, they usually save food and clothing, and they do housework all year round in the wind and rain, and the men sell their blood and sweat, I am afraid that it is more cost-effective to be a soldier.

But the Nan'an regiment training does not plan to recruit soldiers and horses for the time being, before Xu Zixian returns from Beijing, the water camp can only be prepared, one of these things must be decided by Xu Zixian in Nan'an, and each soldier must be recruited by Xu Zixian himself. Secondly, rewarding the soldiers, distributing rewards, and treating the wounded and wounded, the money spent was not more than 30,000 yuan, and the money given by the merchants and the Fuzhou government was of course not enough, and the Nan'an regiment spent a lot of money on training.

In addition, the wharf has not yet been completed, Xu Zixian ordered Fu Qian to imitate the hydraulic workshop car, and there are a lot of places where money is used everywhere, and the matter of recruiting one or two battalions of sailor battalions can only be said slowly.

Fortunately, there are enough talents now, the ability of Li Yi and other officials is continuing to improve, Qin Dongyang and other officers have been tempered by the war, and Xu Zixian himself has also gone from being a keyboard strong to actually leading the troops, and he has gained a lot of experience, from the battle of the estuary to the battle of the river embankment, after the two wars, how can Xu Zixian's harvest be less than that of other officers?

On the 27th, when Xu Zixian was about to leave, he summoned all the officers above the sentry officer in the army, and the assistant officials under Li Yi of the Hou Mansion to the signing room.

The hall is also a full hall.

The civil and military sat side by side, dozens of people were crowded together, and the signing room of Nuoda was a little too crowded.

From persuading Li Yi to recruiting Fu Qian and others for the examination, and then inviting the great Confucian Wu Shizhong, and then Qin Dongyang and other military generals, the current Nan'an Hou Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes from more than half a year ago.

"Still handing out money outside the hall?" After Xu Zi sat down first, he heard the clanging sound when he counted the copper coins, and asked with a smile: "Haven't finished sending it yet?" ”

"The military attache to the team officer level has been issued, and now the military officer has not been issued." Kong and interface, smiled: "But before the evening, it should be all sent." ”

"Everyone can have a good year." Xu Zixian smiled and said to everyone: "It's the same with all the gentlemen, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, Fu Qian smiled most conspicuously in the crowd, he made a great contribution, although the water-powered cart has not yet succeeded, before the rush and hard work and the one-legged cart also made a contribution, Xu Zixian specially rewarded him with 100 yuan, which was also a huge amount of money for Fu Qian, who often couldn't open the pot before that.

As long as the hydroelectric Dafang car is developed, it will be rewarded at least more than 1,000 times, and Fu Qian is full of expectations for this.

Qin Dongyang was also full of joy, he practiced martial arts as a young man, and the money he spent had not been repaid when he was appointed as the captain of the Hou Mansion, his home was dilapidated, and the courtyard walls and houses were in danger of collapsing, but there was no money to repair them.

In the past six months, I have accumulated a lot of money, but it is still not enough.

In this war, Qin Dongyang was recognized as the first meritorious among military attachés, so Xu Zixian gave 200 yuan of money, which is also a huge amount of wealth for the current Qin Dongyang.

Being able to serve in the Hou Mansion and become an official military attache of the imperial court, there are hundreds of assets at home, the elderly can be supported, and the children can wear warm cotton jackets, and the meat is constantly fishy every day, when Qin Dongyang sits at the head of the military attaché, the expression on his face is also happy from the heart.

Only Liu Yi is still careless, his money reward is more than 200 yuan, he uses two long knives in the letter word camp, and beheads at least dozens of people, of course, the reward is not expensive, but Liu Yi seems to love gambling money the most, Xu Zixian strictly prohibits martial artists from gambling money and drinking, Liu Yi still drinks, but gambling can only be forbidden, his money, most of which is to ask the little guy to go to the nearby town and Fuzhou Mansion to buy good wine, the money is more or less, and it is meaningless to Liu Yi.

Chen Daojian also received dozens of rewards, except for supporting his grandmother, as long as he bought some necessary household daily necessities, the rest of the money was used to buy books.

In addition to official duties, Chen Daojian is the only one who does not read well, and even Wu Shizhong admires him very much, and it is often said that if it is not for Chen Daojian's intention to conduct scientific examinations, Wu Shizhong would like to include Chen Daojian in the door wall and become an official disciple.

Wu Shizhong's status was relatively detached, and he hardly handled chores in the Hou Mansion at ordinary times, and only taught apprentices in the Ming Hall.

At the end of the year, many Wumen disciples who lived and studied returned to their hometowns one after another, and Wu Shizhong came to attend the meeting when he had nothing to do, otherwise, of course, he could not come to such a military and political meeting.

Looking at the grand occasion of the abundance of talents in front of him, Wu Shizhong was also surprised, he had stayed in Beijing, the princely mansion, and there were many Qing guests and the like, how could there be so many talents who could do practical things?

Even if it is the mansion of the left and right ministers, most of the talents recruited are ordinary and not very impressive.

Liu Zhiyuan has a few capable strategists around him, and there is a Li Gu by the side of King Zhao of Fuzhou, and the rest are mediocre.

However, Xu Zixian is here, quietly gathering so many talents, and it is really amazing that there are so many talented people together.

"It is a happy event to gather all the kings." Xu Zi first picked up a stack of documents from the front of the case, and said with a smile: "Last night, the commission that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Pacification Envoy used together came down, maybe Lord Lin also felt that it was not interesting to press it again...... Congratulations. ”
