Wang Dayong and others led the Yongan army to trap the camp to encircle and suppress the thieves, which caused an uproar in various places, and many people did not understand what Xiao Yi's approach was for. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In their eyes, those bandits, although not as harmful as the Mongols and the Houjin Tartars, were not easy to provoke.

Every place where Xiao Yi sent troops was a disaster in Datong Town for many years, and the previous commanders did not want to suppress it, but because of the heavy cost and powerlessness.

For example, the bandits in the mountain col occupied by the bandits of the mountain for many years had already grown to a scale of more than 1,000 people, and if the officials and troops wanted to exterminate them, they had to gather at least 3,000 or even 5,000 soldiers.

The cost of military rations, ordnance, and silver alone is enormous, and many people are not interested in such a disproportionate effort and return.

Even those who want to suppress bandits like Han Shimeng will be constrained everywhere, and the officers and soldiers of the town will also be used to defend the town, and they are afraid that they will not be enough on weekdays, so if they want to suppress the bandits, they have to draw guards from the guards in various places.

It's just that in this way, there are more clauses involved.

Since Han Shimeng took office, he has tried to put down the thieves many times, but no one has supported him after discussing it for a long time, just in time for Lin Dan Khan to plunder Datong the year before last, and the casualties in various places are even more powerless to suppress the bandits, which has not been solved until now.

But Xiao Yi did not have Han Shimeng's concerns and constraints, after Xiao Yi quelled the rebellion in the town, nearly half of the families were raided by Xiao Yi on the grounds that the government had raised too many private soldiers and cooperated with the rebel officers and soldiers on the night of the Spring Festival.

This was confirmed by the 'strong' resistance of the Yong'an Army that night and the fact that some of the accounts and documents seized from their house afterwards.

After this incident, Cai Jiahe was also imprisoned, the new governor Zhang Tinggong has not yet arrived, and the prison Wang Bao is friendly with Xiao Yi, and now Xiao Yi is really saying the same thing in this Datong town.

In the early morning of the third day after the four-way suppression of bandits, Xiao Yi stood on the military control platform on the west side of the city wall, looking at the boundless rivers and mountains, with the rising sun that was slowly rising, and he also felt a little emotional.

Speaking of this military control platform, it can be regarded as a major feature of Datong Town.

Xiao had never heard of such a building before his appointment, and he had not even seen such a building in Changning Town, Taohuabao Castle and Ulzhou City.

This military control platform is built outside the four corners of the city wall, with a height of 14 or 5 meters, and it is actually separated from the main body of the city wall and exists independently, and its top is connected with only a plank road between the main body of the city wall.

After understanding, Xiao Yi was once again deeply impressed by the essence of the ancients' architecture, which was set up everywhere, which not only eliminated the dead end of the huge city wall system when defending the town.

It can also allow the guards here to observe the situation in the vicinity very concisely under the safety of the army, so as to make accurate military orders to deal with the enemy's strategy.

In addition, the control platform can also be stationed on the bird's gun, if the besieging side has ladders, trolleys and other large equipment, from this can be removed from the flank attack to disrupt the enemy.

If it is combined with the moat, urn city, moon city, and inner city, Datong Town should be praised as a "towering town".

Xiao Yi was standing beside several pikemen of the Yong'an Army, and it was cold in the north, but fortunately they all had the full uniforms of the Yong'an Army.

Every soldier has adequate protection from head to toe, and even the tiger spear is wearing a pair of red gloves on his hand, and he is full of food and drink every day, and he is standing on the city wall and looking into the distance without squinting.

Maybe it was because he knew that Xiao Yi was standing beside them, and while he was nervous in his heart, he also straightened his body even higher.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on his side, and a pacesetter trotted from the path of the city wall, and when he saw Xiao Yi, he hugged his fists: "Yujunmen, Master Dong and Qi Haoguang have arrived." ”

"Let them also climb the city wall and see the great rivers and mountains of my Han family."

When the sergeant of the standard battalion heard this, he looked at the distance and was stunned, but his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately said, "Obey the order." ”

Not long after, the two of them passed by the soldiers of the Yongan Army who were densely guarded in the city, and walked to the top of the military control platform, and they all hugged their fists and said: "The lower official Dong Yinghua (lowly Qi Haoguang) has seen the military gate!" ”

The mansion of Jiang Dashan, the magistrate of the town, was not far from the western military camp, and Xiao Yi only learned later that Jiang Dashan's mansion was broken into by the rebels, Jiang Dashan had died in office, and his wife and daughter were insulted and killed by the rebels.

However, Xiao Yi did not feel any sadness, but only felt sad for him.

The rebel did himself a favor, this Jiang Dashan did nothing when he was in office, he was afraid of the powerful, made friends, and died at the right time.

With a sigh, Xiao Yi put his hand on the military control platform and waved outward: "You are all here, look at the great rivers and mountains in front of you." ”

Dong Yinghua looked at Xiao Yi's back, and only felt a sense of not being angry and arrogant, after a long time, the little tun official he saw in the past was now the chief soldier of a town.

While lamenting the impermanence of life, Dong Yinghua also looked outside the city and sighed: "I think of my Datong Town, a long time ago, it was also a very prosperous soldier, and people often called it 'Datong Shi Vest World', but now the past is gone..."

Although Qi Haoguang has unique insights in various craftsman's work, he doesn't understand these things, and just nods his head again and again.

Sighing lightly, Xiao Yi suddenly turned around and said: "Dong Yinghua, this military gate intends to appoint you as the chief governor of the town, in charge of the patrol and investigation of the town, I hope you can still do your duty and truly seek the well-being of the army and the people." ”

Seeing Xiao Yiruo's vision, Dong Yinghua was excited at the same time, knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Xiaguan Xie Junmen's trust over the years, Xiaguan will not forget his original intention and do his duty!" ”

Nodding, Xiao Yi looked at Qi Haoguang, who looked envious, and said with a smile: "You don't have to envy Lord Dong, from now on, you will be the chief craftsman of the north and south two squares, and Wang Xiong will jointly manage the factories and workshops inside and outside the town. ”

Qi Haoguang was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, this is the chief craftsman of Datong Town, as a craftsman for generations, Qi Haoguang is now regarded as a glorious ancestor, how can he not be excited!

At the same time, he also felt Xiao Yi's trust and importance to himself, and the armament and armor of the Yongan Army were handed over to him, and he suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders.

After the initial excitement passed, Qi Hao looked at the generals of the Yongan Army, hugged his fists and said: "I will work with Brother Wang with one heart and one mind, and I will never live up to the trust of the army!" ”

Nodding, Xiao Yi turned around again and stood with his hands in his hands, and his firm voice clearly reached the ears of Dong Yinghua, Qi Haoguang and the Yongan sergeant in the city.

"In the war a few months later, this army wants to spread the prestige of the Yong'an Army in Datong Town to the world, so that the thieves who mess with our army and people will try to steal my rivers and mountains, and they will flee in fear when they hear the name of our Yong'an Army."

As the head of the First Army and the chief officer of the First Town, Xiao Yi has always been cautious and cautious in what he says and does, and even if he has different emotions in his heart, he rarely shows them in front of the sergeants and subordinates.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words this time, although it was only a short sentence, it shocked the soldiers of the Yongan Army standing around, and exuded a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

Feeling Xiao Yi's pride, these sergeants were also excited.

They didn't have the slightest suspicion about the 'battle in a few months' that Xiao Yi inadvertently revealed, and they were already secretly planning in their hearts.

From now on, train even harder for that upcoming battle!

Hearing these arrogant words, Dong Yinghua and Qi Haoguang glanced at each other, and they both felt a deep shock in each other's eyes, making such a vicious Tartar famous and fleeing!?

After the shock, I felt that something was wrong, the battle a few months later, less than half a year after the great victory of Linghe, how could there be another big war?

Don't......

Regardless of whether Xiao Yi was intentional or unintentional, this sentence quickly spread to the Yongan Army and Zhenwei battalions, and the sergeants who heard this sentence were all excited.

It was also from that day on, the people around the military camps in the town could feel a little different, and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army in the barracks trained harder than usual.

There was a constant rumbling of footsteps and roars, and there was no end.

In addition, the horse farms outside the city were also filled with horses' hooves all day long, and the cavalry of the flying cavalry battalion and the cavalry battalion galloped and cheered.

Even the sergeants of the baggage battalion inspected several times more frequently, staying with the ordnance and equipment they were responsible for all day, and taking a look at everything to ensure that there was nothing to do before leaving with peace of mind.
