When everyone came out of Shuangfeng Village, Xiao Tianjian rushed to the new barracks of Dongye Town non-stop, after the rebuilding of Dongye Town for half a year, the original bleak town began to glow with vitality again, and the repaired iron furnaces were re-ignited, and a large number of laborers began to live in the abandoned houses in Dongye Town, working in various iron furnaces, so that the population of the town with only two or three hundred people was restored to about a thousand people, and these people were begging for life around the iron furnace, in such troubled times, The situation in Dongye Town can be regarded as an outlier.

Through the efforts of the old furnace workers and other furnace workers, not only have a lot of scrap iron furnaces been repaired, but they have also built several medium and large iron furnaces in the town, so that the iron production of Dongye Town has increased several times in less than half a year, and now the daily iron output of Dongye Town has reached more than three or four thousand catties, and even caught up with the most prosperous year of Dongye Town.

After Xiao Tianjian's rectification, the negative slacking of the original mining sites has basically disappeared, and the distribution principle of more work and more rewards has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the miners, making the mining volume of each mine more than double as usual.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 officers and soldiers captured this time and more than 1,000 Xiangyong in Zezhou, these people Xiao Tianjian did not kill indiscriminately, and some of them were assigned to iron mines as miners, and the rest of the prisoners were sent to work in other places of the Xingtian Army, but the labor of these people was not paid at all, and once again provided a large amount of free labor for the Xingtian Army, so that the Xingtian Army provided a sufficient labor guarantee when carrying out various engineering construction.

And after this war, the quality of the more than 1,000 newly recruited recruits can be said to exceed the quality of their previous recruitment, and most of these people are local disciples, grateful to the Xingtianjun for taking care of them, so they joined Xiao Tianjian's men, including some local hunters, and the quality of the soldiers after careful selection can be said to be quite good.

Xiao Tianjian just led the crowd to the outside of the recruit camp, and heard the hysterical voices of the instructors in the battalion, so Xiao Tianjian suddenly laughed dumbly, and now this group of instructors under Liu Bao has almost learned the same set of his original training troops, one is louder than the other, with these guys, Xiao Tianjian believes that Liu Bao and their instructors can continue to send qualified recruits to the combat team, and constantly enrich and expand the strength of the Xingtian Army.

From the very beginning, Xiao Tianjian attached great importance to the construction of the new barracks, and in this year or so, a lot of capable veterans were specially selected from the army and enriched into Liu Bao's instructor team, and these people are basically guys who have been on the battlefield and have seen bloody killings, all of them have a ruthlessness in their bones, and they are also extremely loyal subordinates to Xiao Tianjian.

For Xiao Tianjian, training with these people is one of the most basic strategies to maintain the cohesion of the Xingtian Army, first, it can ensure that after the new recruits are replenished in the combat team, the recruits can be used in a short period of time, so as to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the combat force will not decline greatly after the new recruits are replenished; Second, it can prevent his generals from selecting recruits for training on their own, so that they can form small groups one by one, and under his command, such factions will never be allowed to exist, so from the beginning of recruit training, these instructors will instill a concept in the recruits every day, that is, they are not anyone's soldiers, but the soldiers of the entire Xingtian Army, just Xiao Tianjian's soldiers, and they will become the personal soldiers of some generals in the future.

To a large extent, this method also borrowed from the methods of the later armies, which can avoid the formation of factions in the Xingtian Army to a certain extent, and the Xingtian Army will grow stronger in the future, and the generals in the army will form their own factions.

As Xiao Tianjian led the crowd into the recruit camp, he immediately saw a team of recruits standing on the school field, receiving the most basic queue training, one by one instructors were walking through the school field, holding military sticks in their hands, constantly correcting the movements of these recruits, many recruits were beaten up and miserable.

As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian and the others coming to inspect the recruit camp, Liu Bao, who was standing straight at the edge of the school to supervise the training, immediately shouted: "All assemble!" Greetings to the Colonel! ”

When the instructors on the school field heard this, they immediately shouted to gather their recruits, driving them to quickly assemble into a large phalanx on the school field.

Xiao Tianjian turned over and dismounted, and took the generals who followed him to a newly erected platform in the school field, and slowly walked to the front of the stage, concentrating calmly with a solemn face, and glanced at the faces of the recruits standing in front of the stage, and with his gaze, the entire recruit camp suddenly fell completely silent, and everyone turned to Xiao Tianjian with eager eyes.

After Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the banner of the Xingtian Army standing in front of the recruit barracks, and shouted loudly to the recruits below: "Sons and daughters of the Xingtian Army! Do you already know the meaning of our banner of punishment? ”

The recruits didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to lecture them in such a tone, and after a pause, they immediately shouted under the leadership of the instructors: "Got it!" ”

Xiao Tianjian pointed to the scarlet Xingtian Army flag, and then shouted loudly: "Very good! Do you know what the day will be in four days? ”

Hearing Xiao Tianjian's next question, the recruits couldn't help but be a little stunned! These days, since they joined the army, they have been trained by these instructors in the dark, dizzy, where do you remember what day it was! Even those instructors didn't understand what day Xiao Tianjian asked four days later, so the people on the school field looked at each other a little, unable to answer Xiao Tianjian's question.

Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but show a dissatisfied look, and shouted loudly: "Four days later, that is, the tenth day of the fifth month!" This will be a very important anniversary for us in the Heavenly Army! Because on the tenth day of the fifth month a year ago, it was the day when our Xingtian Army officially became an army! ”

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, everyone in the army suddenly understood, and the generals and instructors and veterans who followed the Xingtian Army immediately showed ashamed looks, saying that they were busy every day, but they all forgot such an important day, and they were really ashamed to think about it.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at the people standing below again, and said loudly: "Just a year ago, we officially formed an army in a small place called Fanjiabao in Wangyang, Shaanxi Province, thousands of miles away, at that time, we only had more than 200 soldiers, less than 300 soldiers, and even used bamboo guns and hoes, and it was only a year, but now our Xingtian Army has thousands of soldiers, hundreds of cannons and birds, and occupies the entire territory of Yangcheng County here!"

And the reason why we are where we are today is that please take a look at this banner of punishment, the red color on it is dyed with the blood of countless brothers! I want to ask you, do you remember the slogan of our Heavenly Army? ”
