Ulzhou City is still so calm at this time, but the school field is not calm, the new ethics lord inspects the officers and soldiers, and everyone understands in their hearts that the new officer has three fires, and he still has to give some face to this first fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They also walked out of the barracks, taverns or green buildings in groups of three or five slowly, talking and laughing.

However, it can be seen that most of them move slowly, and they do not come in formation, they walk into the school field in twos and threes, and they are still frolicking after entering.

Xiao Yi was already neatly dressed at this time, wearing the Houjin heavy iron armor that he had captured from the Tartar Bayala guards last year, and the Kirin bronze medal of the Captain Xiao Cavalry was hung on his waist.

He frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, he could see that the treatment of these people in the state city was still better than that of the original military households in Peach Blossom Castle, at least the clothes were not all tattered, and most of them could have such a pair of mandarin duck battle jackets on their bodies, although they were all a little old, but at least they looked like people.

The complexion is also a lot better, compared to the sergeants who inspected when he arrived at Peach Blossom Castle, all aspects are much better, especially the various generals and generals are wearing armor, but most of them are some leather armor, cloth armor and a small amount of border army cotton armor, and they also hold a lot of knives and guns in their hands, and there is no unified appearance of all kinds of them.

Xiao Yi also saw something wrong with these family members, they all looked like they were hanging children, full of ruffianism, and they all held their heads high in front of other military households, as if they were superior.

This kind of soldier Xiao has also seen a lot, and he is definitely the first to run in battle, and he has the ability to harm the people one by one.

With a gloomy look, Xiao Yi couldn't help but think that if he used them to fight, I am afraid that the battle would have already been decided before it began, which strengthened his mind of disarmament.

The Shi Lu people standing behind Xiao Yi also looked disdainful, thinking that the officers and soldiers in the state city could be better, such officers and soldiers were inferior to the part of the military households selected and eliminated by the Yong'an Army, and the adults really did the right thing to dismiss them.

Although it was a long time since they practiced and assembled, they eventually listed the formation that was skewed and sparsely drawn, if this was considered a formation.

When these people in front of them first came out of the barracks, taverns, green buildings and other places, their faces were full of excitement and dissatisfaction, and they were constantly playing, but now they are all listless as if they are asleep and standing on the ground.

The school field should have not been used for a long time, even if it was urgently repaired before Xiao Yi came, but the effect was still not obvious, the flags that should have been flying around were all in tatters, full of yellow sand, and the platform under Xiao Yi's feet, and the sound of official boots could not be heard when walking on it.

What I heard was an uncomfortable 'squeak' sound, and this kind of seeing also disappointed Xiao Yi, and the good mood just now was naturally destroyed.

The huge school field is less than half full at the moment, and there are more than 1,300 people on the roster of officers and soldiers in those state cities, Xiao Yi has looked around several times, I am afraid that there are not even 500 people, it seems that the empty salary here has reached a very serious point.

Dong Yinghua had already stood aside with the booklet, and after thinking for a while, Xiao Yi said to him: "Dong Zhenfu, let's name it according to the roster." ”

Dong Yinghua put on that dead face at this time, and after hearing Xiao Yi's words, he responded, and called his names one by one according to the roster with a cold face.

Cao Biao, He Qi and the others glanced at each other, and they were a little flustered in their hearts, they thought that this time they would be able to pass so-so, but they didn't expect Xiao Yi to play for real.

At this moment, most of the thousands of presidents and generals were in a panic, and they knew best about the actual amount of soldiers under them, only Yuan Shaogong, although he was the president of Qian, but he had no soldiers and only a title of pacification, so naturally he couldn't find his head, and at this time he stood behind with a look of watching the play.

According to the statistics, there are only 614 officers and soldiers registered in the state city, and many of them are wearing coarse cloth clothes and their faces are full of loess.

It's just that Dong Yinghua didn't say anything, but honestly reported the results, Xiao Yi just hummed lightly and didn't say a word, Ma Chongen and Xiang Zhicheng were the other two of the four generals in Zhoucheng.

Ma Chongen and Xiang Zhicheng glanced at each other, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts, but Cao Biao still seemed very calm, and Ma Chongen said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be fine, just wait." Xiang Zhicheng nodded, staring at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was silent for a long time, and said: "There is a shortage of five hundred and fifty-four officers and soldiers in the state city, how can there be a shortage of nearly half? ”

Cao Biao didn't speak, but looked back at Ma Chongen behind him, Ma Chongen was instructed, nodded and said: "My lord, this military salary has not been issued for a long time, and the sergeants continue to flee, and we can't do anything." ”

It's actually a lack of sound, which is a reason, when he arrived at Peach Blossom Castle, because the number of Yong'an troops was small, so he was paid to reassure the people, but now he can no longer be paid.

Not to mention whether Xiao Yi has extra money and rice noodles to make up for the military salary owed over the years, even if he has Xiao, he will not use it here, the duel with Wang Zishun is related to the survival of the Yongan Army, and he must spend every tael on the blade, and he can only lose money if he wastes it on these people.

He asked: "Since the army has been in arrears for many years, why don't you report the ethics of your predecessor and use it as a subsidy for military households?" ”

Xiang Zhicheng had already made such preparations, and he stepped forward and said: "Since the beginning of Wanli, the military households and civilian households in the state have fled year after year. ”

Li Erniu looked at Xiang Zhicheng with big eyes, what he said was the truth, but he naturally couldn't go out to testify, so he just didn't hear it.

At this time, these officers and soldiers on the school field already complained and mourned, complaining that their legs hurt, and that their bodies were tired and overwhelmed, Xiao Yi looked at these people coldly and was silent.

At this time, Cao Biao lost no time in stepping forward and said: "My lord, the soldiers have been overwhelmed after practicing for a long time, why don't you go back to the camp to rest?" ”

As soon as Cao Biao's voice fell, the previous silent generals all stepped forward to echo them, including Ma Chongen and Xiang Zhicheng.

Xiao also heard Cao Biao's words, if there was no prince to force Datong to force him, he would still let them return to the camp temporarily, but now for him, every second counts.

He was silent for a long time and said, "Mr. Cao is so forgetful, and there is still something that has not been announced, how can he return to the camp here?" ”

Cao Biao's face suddenly became a little ugly, and the sergeants were already a little messy at this time.

Xiao Yi paced back and forth on the platform, and suddenly said: "This official has to be instructed by Lord Zhao to garrison the armament to strictly prevent thieves from attacking and harassing. ”

Cao Biao looked at Xiao Yi coldly, he finally brought it up, he turned his head and glanced at Ma Chongen and Xiang Zhicheng behind him, and the two also looked at him.

Cao Biao went to look at Zhou Ding again, but Zhou Ding just looked at the ground, as if he didn't hear Xiao Yi's words.

Xiao Yi's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the sergeants who were still a little messy just now shouted loudly, because they naturally knew that the dismissal in Xiao Yi's mouth was referring to them.

"Why? Lord Bai hasn't been laid off for so long, why did you dismiss us as soon as you came? ”

Another military household shouted: "That is, the military salary has not been paid for many years, and we demand it!" ”

"Yes, we want military pay!"

At this time, these officers and soldiers were already excited, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and Cao Biao and the three of them laughed mockingly, looking at this scene, and had no intention of stopping it.

Zhou Dingjian had been thinking about it for a long time, and when he saw that his subordinates were also a little disturbed, he was a little anxious.

Under Yuan Shaogong's strong dissuasion, he finally came out to stop his family, Zhou Ding came forward, and the family naturally looked ahead.

He didn't say much anymore, but it was a pity that he had such a good opportunity, and looked at the military households under the command of Cao Biao, Ma Chongen, and Xiang Zhicheng with envy, and they became more and more intense. (To be continued.) )
