Since the Yong'an Army went south, it has carried out a series of vigorous reform activities in Shanxi, and it has been proved that Xiao Yi was right to choose to go south at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the moment when the imperial court did not deal with the victory of the Yong'an army, the entire south was almost under the tide of public opinion, and the situation of suppressing thieves became more and more unbearable, and the continuous defeat of the official army and the successive years of conquest and famine had already made the originally rich Shanxi more and more erosive, and the garrison was also emptied.

Therefore, every time the Yong'an Army went to a place, the local people often welcomed it, and after a few days, there was news of the disarmament recruitment of the Zhenwei Battalion, and a big banner with the word "Xiao" replaced the original imperial court flag and fluttered in the wind.

Unlike the imperial conscription, the Yong'an army conscription no longer needed too much publicity, and even only a few flying horsemen drove through the streets, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the city, and then spread to the surrounding area like ripples in a puddle of clear water.

The treatment of becoming a subordinate of the Yong'an Army Zhenwei Battalion naturally does not need to be mentioned, learning the lessons of the imperial court, Xiao will not give people any empty promises, and the imperial court's salary that cannot see the shadow at all, every soldier and civilian who is selected for the Yong'an Army will immediately get only their own acres of land and cattle, seeds and other things, which is enough to explain the problem in comparison.

In addition, the myth of the undefeated Yong'an army has long spread all over the country, and many businessmen who rushed back from Shengjing are also constantly talking about the strange situation in Shengjing City recently, and it will soon spread all over the country.

said that after hearing about the defeat, the slave chief Emperor Taiji directly spat blood from his mouth and was unconscious for several days.

The howls of the Jurchens could be heard almost day and night inside and outside Shengjing City, and these merchants seemed to sense something after hearing Houjin's defeat at the hands of the Yong'an army several times.

Some people began to rush to Datong Town from all over the country, hoping to open branches, branches, and shops here.

Xiao Yi put on a very welcoming attitude towards this matter, and even personally met with the Tao family and other big family heads who came, and his words showed that he was very concerned about business development, which also dispelled the concerns of the rest of the businessmen.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of merchants and scholars from all over the world who come and go every day in Datong Town, and the threshold of Xiao Yi's marshal mansion is about to be kicked out.

Under this situation, Xiao also expanded the town of Datong twice, and now the town of Datong has virtually become the commercial center of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Shanxi is developing rapidly.

If you talk about the Ming Dynasty in the past, except for the south where singing and dancing and rising to peace, there may be no businessmen who will think that the war-torn north is safe, but now it is different, if it is mentioned where to open a semicolon is the best, everyone will say a word in unison.

"Then it is naturally the best to go to Xiao Shuai's jurisdiction!"

If someone asks where the homeless, poorly clothed and hungry people are most likely to find their old lives, the answer will be one.

"That's naturally going to Xiao Shuai's territory!"

The night before the expedition after the sixth expansion, Shi Lu had come to Xiao Yi alone, and neither Xiao Yi nor Shi Lu went back to the room to accompany his wife and children that night, and talked all night.

Shi Lu first proposed one thing to Xiao Yi, he thought that now the armor of the Zhenwei battalion can no longer be used, and the most important thing is to let all the soldiers of the Yongan Army leave the court little by little, the most important thing is the military heart and the people's heart.

But fortunately, these two most important points no longer need Xiao Yi to worry about, the court is very cooperative in this regard, since the military heart and the people's heart have slowly moved towards Xiao Yi, the next thing is to strengthen the army, and it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of the Yongan Army.

Now the people will only recognize it directly when they see the main barracks of the Yong'an Army, which is not enough, what Xiao Yi has to do next is to let the people see the sergeants of the Zhenwei Battalion and recognize this as the people of the Yong'an Army at a glance, under the command of Xiao Shuai, not the court officials!

Xiao Yi had been thinking about this for a long time, and the two hit it off, and on the second day, Xiao Yi, the former general of the expedition to the west, gave an order to let Qi Haoguang, Wang Xiong and others be responsible for researching a new Zhenwei battalion armor.

Qi Haoguang and Wang Xiong's Ordnance Department really lived up to their high expectations, and after half a month, they had already put more than a dozen sketches of new clothes and armor on Xiao Yi's desk for Xiao Yi's ruling.

In the end, Xiao also chose one of them, this set of armor is inlaid with iron plates, and the defense is much higher than the original leather armor, although it is still far from the iron armor in the war, but it is more than enough compared to the garrison place, and the cost is not much higher.

The most intuitive point is that the Zhenwei battalion has abandoned the image of the chaotic clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and it looks heroic and very fitting.

This time it was obviously different, the waist tag hung on the waist, and the black and gray armor formed a sharp contrast with the red and yellow standard armor of the imperial court.

It only takes a short period of time for the armor of the Zhenwei battalion to be imprinted in the minds of the entire Shanxi military and civilian, and then the whole world.

At that time, when they see the sergeants of the Zhenwei Battalion, everyone will know that these people are the heroes of the Zhenwei Battalion under the Yongan Army!

The soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion in various places don't think so much, they just feel that this new style of clothing and armor fits very well compared to the previous ones, and it is much easier to wear and walk, and the most important thing is that their mother-in-law and children also like it very much.

Wearing this suit is a pleasure to watch outside and patrol the streets, and many people find meaning in the rest of their lives.

The whole of Shanxi and even the southern provinces are changing day by day, and various parts of Shanxi have carried out such things as reclaiming wasteland and repairing cities.

At the same time, all over the country to build piers, dig water to build canals, build houses and wells, under Xiao Yi's order, the Zhenwei battalion sergeant demolished the original huge and ineffective piers.

Often one such pier is dismantled and the raw materials obtained can be used to build several new Yong'an piers, and Shanxi and other places at the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen are changing day by day.

Each of the five battalions of the current Yong'an Army is very perfect, and it is more appropriate to call it a separate unit, and each battalion is equipped with a bird team, a vehicle artillery team and a baggage team, and it also has its own system from soldiers to battalion officers.

These elite veterans who survived the war were divided into five roads under the leadership of five generals, Shi Lu, Huang Yang, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong, and Yang Liqing.

Of course, the Yong'an Army can only exterminate the most stubborn local bandits, and the remaining small fish and shrimp Yong'an Army has no time to take care of it, and often does not stay long before continuing to go south.

But this is enough, the local Zhenwei battalion sergeants naturally can't just practice, these bandits who were scattered by the trapped camp just give the Zhenwei battalion soldiers a chance to see blood in actual combat, and they are often exterminated by the Zhenwei battalion sergeants as training.

However, in one place, it is still rainy all day long, and there are endless controversies, and that is the current Jingshi court.

The longer the affairs of the Yong'an Army dragged on, the more these Beijing officials found that the rumors that were raging everywhere could not be suppressed, and the people who were arrested were almost filled with prisons.

Chongzhen was furious in the inner court for several days, and within two days he killed three palace maids and eunuchs who made small mistakes, and dismissed several officials from their posts and sent them to prison.
