"What? Do you want me to stay behind?! I—I'm not going to do it! ”

Zhao Lie's expanded New Dragon Bird Army returned to the Wan'an Army, and even issued a declaration of conquest, and the happiest thing was Shi Yang. In the past six months, he has been training all day long, training and training, and the endless training is really uncomfortable. Hearing that Jiang Fenglie, Ouyang Guanhou and others were meritorious and knighted, and even the retired Wang Cripple was so lucky that he killed Ali Hague with his own hands and made him a marquis.

It's not cool, it's so unpleasant!

Finally, when the army converged, there were more than 2,000 musketeers, more than 3,000 sword and axe soldiers and gun soldiers, plus auxiliary soldiers, and tens of thousands of guns. As a result, the order that came as a result was to stay behind.

Shi Yang yelled.

Hearing the roar, Zhang Junbao, who was standing guard outside the door, hurriedly ran in to see what was going on.

Zhao Lie waved his hand: "It's okay, your big brother Shi is a little blocked, just shout out." ”

Zhang Junbao stared at Shi Yang for a few moments, retreated to the door, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Shi, now we are still good in the Dragon Bird Army, but we are all ...... But the prince is already the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't be like in the past, otherwise those civil officials will have to read it, and you will have to participate in it. ”

Shi Yang's heart was shocked, he was stunned, his eyes touched Zhao Lie, and he saw that he seemed to be smiling, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Shi Yang, Shi Yang is rude, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

After this period of court and palace fighting, Zhao Lie more or less comprehended some of the skills of the imperial people, and said with a smile: "Brother Shi doesn't have to be like this, you and I met in Weimo, rose up in the mountain, born and died, and shared weal and woe." You don't have to pay attention to those false courtesies. ”

Shi Yang was moved and frightened: "I, I am willing to guard the Wan'an Army for the prince......"

Zhao Lie sighed lightly: "To be honest, Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou just fought a battle to defend the cliff city, made great contributions, and were promoted to the rank of knight. It stands to reason that the battle against Qiongguan should have been your turn, but, but, but...... For me, Yacheng is the base camp of the Xing Dynasty, and this is our base camp. I need a trustworthy and capable general to guard it. Shi Yang, you say, if I don't choose you, who else can I choose? ”

Shi Yang was hot when he heard this, but instead of getting up, he knocked on the ground: "It's all ...... Lord Wang, Shi Yang understands! Please rest assured, I will guard the base camp for the prince......"

Zhao Lie immediately corrected: "It's to guard the base camp for us." ”

Shi Yang listened warmly, and said continuously: "Yes, it is for us to be optimistic about the base camp." ”

Zhao Lie encouraged: "It is certainly meritorious to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is also meritorious to protect me from the home and nursing home." After this battle, you will definitely be promoted to the commander, and the rank will also reach the corresponding rank. However, it's up to you to earn the title. ”

Shi Yang first thanked him, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you are promoted or not, it's just that I swore in front of Shu'er's grave that I haven't killed enough of 200 Mengtars with my own hands......"

Zhao Lie was silent for a while, and said, "Meng Tartar, there is no Qiong Guan." However, the next time the Yuan army reoffends, no matter who commands it, there will be a Mengtar...... You can rest assured, once you conquer Qiongguan and the expansion of the martial arts team is completed, you will definitely get what you want. ”

Shi Yang kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Zhao Lie waved his hand, Shi Yang stood up, and bowed his hand back.

After a while, a crisp voice came from outside the door: "Martial arts doctor, senior sergeant, Ding Xiaoyi, report." ”

"Come in."

With the sound of sonorous footsteps, a beautiful and toned girl strode in, it was Ding Xiaoyi. But I saw that she was dressed in a tight-fitting suit, armed belts tightly tied to her waist, and her slender legs were covered with riding boots. Then the legs were slightly separated, his hands were folded behind his back, and his body stood straight in front of Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie looked at the girl in front of him, full of emotion, a year ago, this was still an ordinary fishergirl, in just one year, with her own bloody storm, has grown into an outstanding elite warrior.

For Ding Xiaoyi, Zhao Lie felt guilty in his heart. Ding Xiaoyi is the first person to follow her, selfless and fearless, loyal and reliable, her skills and tactics, her merits, are not under Shi Yang, and even surpassed, she is Zhao Lie's most outstanding student. If she were a man, her current position would at least be a commander (equivalent to the current regimental level), not a deputy regimental title (martial arts doctor), but she would just be an ordinary soldier.

Zhao Lie is a modern person, and the concept of equality between men and women is innate, so he kept Ding Xiaoyi in the army and observed her growth. Ding Xiaoyi's outstanding performance made him admire, if he could call the shots, he would definitely be rewarded for his merits, regardless of Ding Xiaoyi's gender. However, when he was still in charge of the Dragon Bird Army, he couldn't even be the master of his own promotion, let alone anything else. And now, Zhao Lie has entered the Privy Council, and he is the prince of a country and has become a rule-maker. He may not have been able to change the rules yet, but at least he can play the side ball.

Zhao Lie smiled and said, "I heard that you have become the eldest sister now." ”

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then woke up, and his expression was twisted.

Zhao Lie collected nearly 20,000 surrendered soldiers, and integrated more than 1,000 volunteers brought back by the Song Army of Yacheng and Su Liuyi, these people are not just men, at least one-fifth are women. Some are soldiers' families, some are children, some are slaves and maids, and a considerable number are camp prostitutes.

Zhao Lie stripped these women from the army and placed most of them in Yacheng and a small part in Wanning.

Since the Empress Dowager Yang gave the banquet, Ding Xiaoyi has been a woman with the rank of martial arts doctor, and she is a member of the legendary army's martial arts team. In the women's world of Yacheng, she is a legend. There are too many women to come to her every day to see the strangeness, including many Tibetan and Li people.

Ding Xiaoyi is pure and good-natured, frank and cute, and few people don't like her. Over time, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law revolved more and more around her. And Ding Xiaoyi also formed a handkerchief with a group of women of the same age, and led them to shoot targets together, taught them to shoot, taught them to use daggers, taught them to fight, and even swam and climb.

In just half a year in Yacheng, a small force has been formed, quite the style of a big sister.

When Ding Xiaoyi was ordered to leave Yacheng with the army, the group of sisters cried and did not follow each other. In the end, there were seven or eight people who were homeless and orphans, or who had a home but secretly left home and came to Wan'an Army with Ding Xiaoyi.

Hearing Zhao Lie's question, Ding Xiaoyi was suddenly apprehensive, and he didn't know if he had violated military discipline.

Zhao Lie stared at Ding Xiaoyi, watching her face become whiter and whiter, her head getting lower and lower, and shouted dishappily: "Ding Xiaoyi, pay attention to the military appearance!" ”

Ding Xiaoyi was busy retracting his mood, holding his head high and his abdomen, and the angry peak on his chest almost broke out of his clothes.

Zhao Lie said in a deep voice: "I called you here to tell you that from now on, you are no longer a member of the martial arts team." ”

"What?!" Ding Xiaoyi thought that his ears had heard wrong, and his eyes widened in shock.

"The martial arts team will soon be expanded, maybe more than a hundred people, and the sources are varied, and it will be very inconvenient to have only you as a woman at that time. It will not only cause you trouble, but also easily breed trouble. You must quit the martial arts team. Zhao Lie's demeanor was categorical, and there was no need to discuss.

Ding Xiaoyi's aggrieved tears swirled in her eyes, and she was stubborn, she could only keep her eyes wide open, not letting the tears overflow, her lips trembled, and it took a long time to squeeze out one word: "Yes ......" and then began to untie the armed belt around her waist, and presented it to Zhao Lie together with the revolver and bullet belt.

Zhao Lie frowned: "Why do you solve it?" just asked you to quit the martial arts team, and didn't expel you from the military. You are still a member of the Great Song Dragon Sparrow Army, the best warrior...... Well, now it's not a warrior, it's a general. ”

"What?" Ding Xiaoyi froze, his armed gun stretched out halfway, and he froze in mid-air.

Zhao Lie took a card from the case and flashed it to Ding Xiaoyi: "Ding Xiaoyi listens to the order!" ”

Ding Xiaoyi instinctively snapped upright.

"Ren Ling, you are the general of Yan Ling's team. This team, like the martial arts team, is a special combat team, and the team will be assigned as a deputy general, and the team members will be approved by 50. Weapons can be applied for semi-automatic firearms, flintlock pistols and various cold weapons. The team members will be selected on the same day, the formation of the Yanling team will be completed within three days, and the formal training will be completed five days later. ”

"Ahh Ding Xiaoyi was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Zhao Lielian shouted a few "orders" that he woke up, and hurriedly bowed down and stretched out his hand to take the order, "Get the order." ”

Ding Xiaoyi touched this deputy general token, dazed and surprised, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Three days, it's too late, many of my sisters are in Yacheng......"

"I brought them all here, and I also recruited a group of women from Yacheng and Bafan for you to choose from."

Hearing that Zhao Lie had arranged it so properly, what else could Ding Xiaoyi say? No, she still has something to say: "Our Yanling team is only fifty people, what can we do?" ”

Zhao Lie smiled meaningfully: "As long as you train hard, and when you complete all the training items and the whole team becomes an army, I believe that your combat effectiveness will never be below the martial arts team." ”
