Chapter 55: Three Days
After the battle that night, Xiao Yi took the uninjured people to clean up the battlefield, and then liquidated eighty-nine waist knives, but there were only about twenty of these waist knives that could barely be used, Xiao Yi thought about it and brought these waist knives back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info plans to use what can be used for future recruitment, and if it can't be used, it can be kept for civilian self-defense or sold cheaply. In short, everything that can be used must be used.
When the reward came down, Xiao Yi still had to buy materials to make weapons by himself.
The next day, the horse drawers attacked Yong'an Fort, and Xiao Yi, the chief banner and the commander in charge of the tun, led his subordinates to defeat hundreds of horse thieves and only killed and injured one person The news spread throughout Datong Dongwei, and then these people knew that there was such a tunbao under the banner of Changning Town, called 'Yong'an Fort'.
After Xiao Yi's battle, it was already morning after the liquidation and cleaning of the battlefield were completed, and then the group slowly walked back to Tunpu.
On the city wall, the people were nervously waiting for news, except for the infant baby, no one dared to sleep anymore, everyone was a little nervous and worried. They were worried that if they only went out of the city with more than 40 people, they would be ambushed by horse thieves, and if they would not be able to defeat the horse thieves, if they did, then they would not be at peace.
After all, for so many years, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty gave them an image of fleeing when they encountered thieves and losing battles.
Suddenly, a man pointed and shouted, "Look, it's Lord Banner and they're back!" ”
Everyone looked over in surprise, only to see more than forty horsemen, slowly returning with torches, these people, including Xiao Yi, Huang Yang, Wang Dayong, Shi Gang and Liu Tong in the front, were all covered in blood, and they all looked exhausted, but judging from the smiles on the corners of their mouths, it was obvious that they had won.
The people hurriedly exhaled lightly, and hurriedly opened the door for Xiao Yi and them, and when they came in, there was a horse with a person, and this person was silent, and his whole body seemed to roll out in blood.
"My lord, did you win?" An old man asked, and the rest of the people looked at Xiao Yi nervously, after all, it was possible that he didn't win the battle and ran back to abandon the fort.
Xiao Yi turned around and said in a deep voice, "We won." The people were celebrating each other and were very happy.
Xiao Yi continued, "But we lost a brother. His name is Liu Fangliang, and you all remember that he was the first person to die in battle to defend Yong'an Fort and defend you. After all, all the people who returned were silently around the corpse, and these days of getting along and fighting had already made these people see each other as brothers.
The people also stopped celebrating, and looked at the man who was covered in blood on the horse but was silent, and they all stopped making a sound.
Suddenly, Liu Sheng said loudly, "My lord, let's bury Fang Liang in the woods." The rest of the people said, "Yes, my lord, we have to bury Fang Liang well!" ”
Xiao Yi beckoned, everyone stopped talking, Xiao Yi opened his mouth, "Okay, just bury Brother Fang Liang in the woods in the east of the city." The next thing we need to do is to build an ancestral hall to commemorate those brothers who died in battle, and the name of each brother who died in battle will be inscribed in this ancestral hall for future generations to pay homage to for all generations. Then he turned his head and asked, "Elder Liu, how much silver should be used in this ancestral hall?" ”
Liu Lao and the three of them studied for a while, and Liu Desheng stepped forward, "The small ones have studied feng shui and think that this ancestral hall is the most suitable to be built in the east, and the bricks and stones required are about three thousand, and the silver is about one hundred taels." ”
Later, one of the craftsmen added, "Yes, but we don't have a calculating scribe, and a few of us are too old-eyed, and we have lost a lot of accuracy, which will affect the longevity of the construction." ”
As soon as Xiao Yi heard it, he thought of An Keping, isn't this what he brought him over, and opened his mouth to say, "An Keping, you can help Liu Lao and them calculate and record first, this is your first job, do it well!" An Keping had already felt that he couldn't just eat Xiao Yi's food but did nothing, and when he heard Xiao Yi's order, he immediately stepped forward to pack the ticket, saying that it was all wrapped up in him.
An Keping's mother also heard it, patted An Keping, and kept saying yes, to help adults work hard, An Keping also played a package ticket. Liu Desheng nodded and said with a smile that it was much easier to have a scribe.
Everyone was very excited when they heard Xiao Yi's decision, thinking that even if he died in battle in the future, no one would know, and his name would be engraved in the ancestral hall, so everyone was even more excited. None of them are afraid of death, they are afraid of dying in battle but they are also nameless, Xiao Yiyi solved all their worries, and these people are even more grateful.
In Changning Town, at the home of the team officer Li Zhen, Li You and Li Zhen are sitting together.
"Smack"
I heard a crisp sound, but it was the annoyed Li Zhen who threw the wine glass on the ground. "Why did this Chai Daguang let Xiao Yi extinguish?"
Li You was also puzzled, "Xiao Yi's subordinates only have a little combat effectiveness among the forty or so horsemen, but Chai Daguang has a horse thief team of nearly 100 people, how can Xiao Yi be defeated?" Xiao Yi also died alone. ”
"Who knows, this horse smoker has never missed a hand before, so I guess I underestimated Xiao Yi." Li Zhen poured a glass of wine and slowly drank it into his stomach, still a little incredulous.
Li Youhu's eyes became sinister, and he rubbed his hands, "I heard that this Xiao Yi beheaded more than 20 people, it seems that you and my brother can make a small profit again." Li Zhen's eyes also suddenly lit up, "Right, at least one hundred taels are in hand this time, this Xiao Yi is really making money for you and me." ”
Li You hesitated suddenly, "But Wang Changliang is not easy to deal with." Li Zhen was not in a hurry at all, "This old guy has been in charge of the team for more than 20 years, and he doesn't know anything, you just watch how my brother and I pull that old guy off the horse, and then it will be the death of that Xiao Yi." ”
After Xiao Yi properly buried Liu Fangliang, he sent Shi Lu to Peach Blossom Fort to report the victory, in fact, it was said to be a victory, but it was nothing more than to remind him to ask for some silver, and Shi Lu rushed back in less than half a day, according to him, the silver reward should be issued in a few days, and then he could start work again, Xiao Yi believed in Shi Lu's ability to do things.
Time passed quickly, it was another three days, and the time slowly came to the end of January of the third year of Chongzhen, when the weather was even colder, and everyone was wrapped in thick mandarin duck jackets. In the past few days, the vicinity has also been very peaceful, firstly, there have been no horse thieves invading the fort, and secondly, there have been no officers and soldiers coming.
Xiao Yi started training again two days ago, Xiao Yi still let those old subordinates train, at this time, everyone was wrapped in thick clothes and shouted training in the open space, the people were chatting and watching, and some people didn't understand Xiao Yi's training method.
Shi Gang walked in the queue, swept his eyes, and saw the lazy Li Sheng, and kicked it without hesitation, and the kicked Li Sheng bared his teeth for a while, "Hey? Are you lazy and sloppy? I'm still looking at you today, and you kid will kick you once you're lazy. With his hands around his chest, he stood beside Li Sheng.
Xiao on the stage who was watching couldn't help laughing.
Li Sheng stuck out his tongue, and he really couldn't be lazy anymore, although these adults are usually happy haha, but they are extremely strict when training, even Shi Gang, who is usually the most haha, has a serious face at this time, and he can't see that he is joking at all.
Li Sheng made up his mind, there was no trace of laziness, and he yelled and stood up for the shield! "Drink!"
Raise your gun! "Huh!"
Stingguns! "Kill!"
"My lord, the royal team of Changning Fort is here!" One of the guards guarding the walls said loudly.
