After seeing Zhu Cihong's eyes, Si Qi and Xu Yanqi glanced at each other and nodded. Then, Si Qi clapped his hands gently.

Suddenly, I saw several paperwork coming. Among them, one person was holding a large box. Others were holding a tray.

Si Qi opened the box, took out one of the books that was quite delicately bound, and looked at the thirty-six soldiers present with a smile.

In fact, the discharge of the soldiers this time was not sorted according to the degree of injury, so the battalion department specially communicated with the military hospital several times.

"On the orders of Lord Qin Yiming. Below, Si Qi, the battalion secretary, announced the official document of commendation for the battle of Dongming. Please stand in solemnity. After Si Qi finished speaking, his face turned grim.

Others were infected by this, and they became serious. In the opinion of Dr. Xie on the side, even when the official army in Henan was the most rigorous, there was no neat formation of these people. This is not only neat under the unified military uniform, but also allows people to know the foundation of a well-trained and strong army at a glance.

At this moment, Xu Yanqi was also standing straight, like a javelin.

"Cheng Jie!" Si Qi said solemnly: "Lord Qin Yiming ordered: Cheng Jie, a soldier of the Linqing battalion, showed bravery in the Battle of Dongming, and killed two enemy soldiers on the battlefield, and won the first four people. Now, I am ordered by Lord Qin Yiming to present you with a military merit medal of the third class, and a certificate of honor will be issued to record your meritorious service. Please receive the stamp, receive the certificate! ”

"I ...... I...... Adults think I played well, and it was done. I don't understand this thing...... This ......" Cheng Jie, who was named by name, looked panicked, and his face was extremely excited. I was honest and scared again, looking at the many eyes that looked over. The cowardly, both unbelievable. He was extremely excited again, as if he was about to explode: "I ...... It's just a small soldier who doesn't dare to be an adult...... So ......"

At this moment, Xu Yanqi looked at Cheng Jie with blazing eyes and said, "Cheng Jie, I, Xu Yanqi, am a martial artist of the Ming Dynasty. Tell you, this thing, Lord Qin Yiming said, it is equivalent to the same thing as the memorial arch of merit. You deserve it for your bravery. Pick it up! Afraid of what? Isn't it my warrior in the camp? Don't have the guts to do this? ”

"Subordinate...... Subordinates have orders! Listening to what Xu Yanqi said, Cheng Jie took a breath. Looking at Yigan's gaze mixed with various expressions, he took a deep breath: "Lord Xie Qin Yiming, Xie Xu Baihu, Mr. Xie Siqi." Subordinate, honored! ”

Seeing this, Xu Yanqi smiled and asked Cheng Jie to stand still, and then took out a military merit medal from the plate with a big red ribbon on the side and tied it to Xu Yanqi's chest.

Cheng Jie looked at this military merit medal that was two circles larger than a copper coin, and looked at a certificate of honor that he didn't know a lot of words. Suddenly, I felt a little dry in my mouth, and I felt a flame burning in my chest, making me feel warm and strong like never before.

"Lord Qin Yiming ordered: Zong Huijia, the chief banner of Shandong Town, has a firm will to fight in the Battle of Dongming, and is facing the retreat of friendly forces. still insisted on the duties of the soldiers and called on the soldiers to stick to it, and finally strongly supported the victory of the Battle of Dongming. Now, I am ordered by Lord Qin Yiming to award you with a second-class military merit medal. And a certificate of honor will be issued to record your merits. Please accept the seal. Receive the certificate! ”

Another one that received a military merit medal, and it looks even more advanced. A silver medal of military merit. It's even more glorious than the bronze military medal just now.

Really...... Another veteran, who looked a little thin, walked out and suddenly cried bitterly: "I ...... My Zonghui Jia is also glorious today...... Even if I'm dead now, it's worth it...... It's worth ......"

In the corner, Dr. Xie watched the scene quietly. When I went back, I silently recorded them.

"It looks like the ritual is broken. However, reshaping etiquette in the army has become a way to respect soldiers and glorify soldiers. I have to say...... I think that's right. Such solemn etiquette allowed the soldier to gradually begin to break away from bandits, mercenaries, and begin to become a respectable profession. Albeit...... In the midst of such rituals, the legendary figure gained more and more respect, even fanatical loyalty. And such strength and loyalty undoubtedly represent enough room for reverie......"

……

When the time slipped to the 11th day of June in the 15th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong came to the camp in Wusheng Town, and a new group of guests came.

This is the Linqing merchant group that came to the Henan battlefield with Chang Zhilang, and the gentry who came with the merchant group, as well as the gentry in Dongming and Puyang.

That's right, Linqinglai...... It's a business group. A team of complete, businessmen.

And the reason why they came here was that Zhu Cihong personally wrote a letter to invite them.

"If you know me, I'm afraid there is only one identity of the Linqing Tax Division." Zhu Cihong looked at a businessman and said with a smile: "Today, I will introduce it to you. In addition to this, I have another identity...... Daming Shandong according to the inspection of the Shandong Town Supervision Army! Please come here today, just to watch the heroic posture of my sons and daughters with me! ”

After speaking, Zhu Cihong slowly walked onto a hastily built high platform. There is only a simple long table on the high platform, and there is only a row of chairs behind the table. Other than that, there is no other modification.

Zhu Cihong sat on the chair, and then Chang Zhilang, Si Qi, Liu Sheng, Liu Zhen, Xu Yanqi and other Zhu Cihong's subordinates stood left and right. The leaders of Puyang and Dongming are okay, these local clans have a population of thousands, and they are either people or jinshi, although they are afraid of Zhu Cihong, an official who has no merit, but they are not afraid. Stepping forward occupies two positions on the left.

The merchants glanced at each other, and the two of the eldest and most powerful merchants were pushed up to take their seats on the right.

At this point, the crowd was seated.

Zhu Cihong turned around and nodded towards the old seventeen behind him.

Suddenly, a drum sounded.

Knock knock knock......

After the drum sounded, Zhu Cihong stood tall and sat straight on the chair with a solemn expression. The other generals all looked solemn.

Tata Tower......

Immediately after, there was the sound of neat footsteps. Behind Zhu Cihong, under the gaze of the gentry and merchants of the local wealthy clans, he suddenly found that a phalanx with 14 people and 25 people appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Three hundred and fifty people, marching forward in unison, the spears in their hands facing the rising sun, the cold light flickering. Suddenly, as soon as this phalanx came out, the gentry and merchants all started to talk about it.

"Huh...... The outfits of these soldiers are so neat. Is this a new military uniform? ”

"The uniforms of the Linqing soldiers are all new, and they look good and capable. And this soldier, the array is like this, this is the appearance of a strong soldier. (To be continued......)
