After Hou Xuanyan asked for merit in front of the palace, he left Jinling and prepared to return to Suzhou to complete the marriage. Jinling officials, big and small, came half and saw him off.

At this season, those who dared to take the risk to come to see each other off, Hou Xuanyan remembered them one by one. The water of the Qinhuai River flowed smoothly, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at this pedestrian on the outskirts of the city.

Hou Xuanyan first sent someone to Hangzhou to pick up Huang Ying'er, and then sent someone to inform Xu Yuanbao to return to Suzhou. Good things come in pairs, and I want to marry my brother together.

Then to Jiangnan, the mountain pressing on his head has been removed, and Hou Xuanyan is relaxed. The Qing soldiers were no longer able to go south, and during this time, Hou Xuanyan finally had time to run his own nest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The shipyard in Songjiang Mansion has not been seen by itself, and the arsenal ordered to go down does not know what Gong Laosan is doing. Even if the most advanced firearms and warships are produced, it will take a lot of effort and training the soldiers to use them skillfully. Hou Xuanyan calculated carefully, this time was not easy at all.

When passing through Zhenjiang, he received an invitation from Li Haoxian to come to participate in the ceremony of returning the wounded soldiers. The Agni Battalion's westward expedition was outstanding, but it also suffered many casualties. Especially at the beginning of the Jingzhou front, it can be said that there are battles every day, and there are more losses and fewer wins.

The sky is beautiful, the bright sun hangs high in the winter sky, Hou Xuanyan looked at the people in the audience, his eyes were red.

Nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers stood in front of the stage in an array, each with a different look on their faces. Although they are all disabled, they still try to stand up straight.

Li Haoxian followed him and said, "Commander, before these soldiers return home, the last general asked them what they wanted, and they all said that they wanted to see the commander. That's when I dared to send someone to pick you up. ”

Hou Xuanyan's expression slowed down, pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

He raised his head, his face was full of smiles, and he raised his voice and said, "Brothers, you are all men from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I took you to Changzhou. How many Qing soldiers did we burn to death in Changzhou City? I'm afraid it's more than the number of people who have died since they entered the customs combined. Hehe, it's all the result of you and me. Now that you have successfully retired, we will continue to fight, and you should not slack off when you go back, take good care of your parents, raise your children, and educate them that whenever there is a foreign invasion, you must also be like him, pick up swords and guns and fight the enemy.

You all have some disabilities on your bodies, Wu Shixun in the third row, took four girls to swim around Taihu Lake. was seen by Lao Tzu, not only did he get rid of the girls, but also pulled him to the battlefield to fight hard. Now that I'm missing an arm, it's even harder to deal with four at once. The crowd burst into laughter, and Wu Shixun was holding tears and laughing the brightest.

Hou Xuanyan stepped off the stage, and when he got to the crowd, more than 10,000 people were suddenly silent. The voice of winter spread very high, Hou Xuanyan patted them on the shoulder and said: "Pao Ze is a brother, although you are all disabled, but there are still many brothers who have not come back alive." When you return, if any of your neighbors die in battle, do your best to provide for their families. If you don't have enough money, you can go to the fire camp and ask for it. Li Haoxian dared not to give it, so I withdrew him. ”

The crowd laughed again, and Li Haoxian said with a straight face: "The last general in Dengzhou, Shandong, is that there is a timely rain in the Ming Dynasty, and countless fortunes are scattered." ”

"I can say ugly things in front, and live well after I go back, if anyone is a traitor, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and spends all the pensions, and dares to come and ask for it, it belongs to throwing our fire camp and the face of our Northern Expeditionary Army, this is a fucking big crime, you can secretly cut it down and bury it."

The Agni Battalion made many great contributions, and these remnants of the wounded returned to their hometowns, and each of them received a lot of silver according to their merits. Hou Xuanyan walked to Wu Shixun's side and asked, "How is it, what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

Wu Shixun wiped his tears and said, "My father has a academy, and after I go back, I plan to go to the academy to teach and educate people." Let the young children in the township have a chance to read. ”

A sharp-mouthed young man beside him interjected: "Dashuai, my father killed pigs, and he didn't give me a bite to eat when he was a child, and he sold them all." I went back and brought back the money, enough for him to kill for a lifetime. I'm going to do nothing and eat pork every day. ”

Hou Xuanyan ignored his bullshit "My Father", and when he looked at it in a blink of an eye, he was suddenly sad. This sharp-mouthed young man looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and a scar on his face was shocking. From the forehead to the cheeks, the scalp is peeled and fleshed. Hou Xuanyan touched his face and said, "What's your name?" ”

Xiao Bing interjected not only did not be trained, but was questioned by Hou Xuanyan, and immediately triumphant, and said: "Dashuai, my name is Zhang Yiguan." My father said that on the day he gave birth to me, he earned a full barrel of copper coins, which is a great blessing. ”

Hou Xuanyan said: "Dafu will not go back, follow me, I have a chance to find you a mother-in-law." ”

Zhang Yiguan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "If the big man doesn't dislike it, the villain will block the gun and arrow for the big handsome, and he will die without regrets." ”

Hu Bawan put up a shelf, hugged him aside, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Boy, follow your brother Bawan in the future, it's okay." ”

The people next to him all showed eager looks, and Hou Xuanyan said: "I won't tell you that Your Majesty has just given you a marriage, and Lao Tzu is about to marry." Let's have some joy today, you big-headed soldiers, and let's drink it. After speaking, he turned to look at Li Haoxian, who understood and ordered, and someone immediately pushed a cart of good wine out.

Hou Xuanyan picked up the scoop, took a sip, and handed the scoop in his hand to Li Haoxian beside him. Dozens of scoops were passed from hand to hand, each taking a scoop and drinking it all.

Li Haoxian was burly and stood in the crowd, exposing half of his head. When he had finished drinking, he cried out, "Brothers, let us congratulate the Governor on his wedding." ”

The last wounded soldier finished drinking, threw the scoop in his hand, and said, "If the commander summons him in the future, we will definitely raise my sword again and fight to the death." ”

Hou Xuanyan turned around, restrained his emotions, and raised his voice: "A group of cripples are fighting to the death, go home, the grandmother at home is waiting for you." If they could live, who the would want to die. As he spoke, he walked away, and only took away the newly recruited soldiers around him.

Walking out of the camp, Zhang Yiguan finally wiped a few tears and said, "Brother Bawan, I don't know why, this walk is strange and uncomfortable." ”

Hu Bawan disagreed, pouted and said: "Old man, what does it look like to cry and chirp, in our Shandong, even cattle and sheep, only the mother cries." After speaking, he noticed Hou Xuanyan with high and low shoulders beside him, and his two shoulders went up and down, and he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
