After returning to Ulju City, Xiao Yi immediately instructed the corresponding carpenters to make spirit tablets for the soldiers who died in battle, engraved their names on the front, and each person's place of origin engraved in small characters on the back, and then hung the waist cards worn during the war.

After receiving Xiao Yi's order, the carpenter did not dare to slack off, if he did it quickly and well, he would not be rewarded with silver, so he rushed to work day after receiving the order.

Finally, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the waist cards were made, and they were escorted to Yong'an Fort by a team of Yong'an Army soldiers and placed in their future generations.

There were also many onlookers crying along the way, most of them were family members of these soldiers who died in battle.

Although Xiao also gave them rice, noodles, pigs, sheep and silver as usual, and sent home the armor, knives and guns used by the fallen soldiers, these only had a comforting effect, making these people feel better and more grateful to Xiao Yi.

Speaking of the ancestral hall of Yong'an Fort, it has been expanded for a long time, several fights in the past year, plus daily drills, sentinels, etc., so there are not a thousand dead soldiers but also hundreds, the original small ancestral hall can no longer accommodate all the spirit cards, and it seems a little simple.

After several Yong'an Fort craftsmen discussed, it took half a month to design a few drawings, and the ancestral hall was more than doubled in less than a month, and the layout of the normal Han family ancestral hall was basically the same.

The difference is that there are also two newly made stone lions in front of the new ancestral hall, giving people a sense of majesty, and a new stone tablet has been built in front of the stone lions.

The stele is engraved with a few lines of big characters in red, which is Xiao Yi's own words from the newly built Yong'an Fort ancestral hall, and the first thing that every soldier and civilian who came to the ancestral hall to pay homage to was this stele and the two stone lions.

……

In Ulju, the drill was held as scheduled.

This time, the Zhenwei battalion became the protagonist, and the soldiers of the Yongan Army were exhausted after a night of fighting.

Therefore, Xiao Yi gave all the soldiers a five-day long vacation, and even the five days of not collecting sentry agents overnight have been temporarily canceled, only the rotation defense of the dun guards remains unchanged, and on the day of the drill, they also became spectators.

On the tenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the first drill of the Zhenwei Battalion under the Yongan Army began, and the last victory was spreading rapidly, and many people wanted to see the demeanor of the heroes of the Yongan Army.

Not to mention that all kinds of squires, merchants, and families gathered in Ulzhou, even Han Shimeng, the chief military officer of Datong, Cai Jiahe, the governor of Datong, and Nie Kegang, the military commander, also came a lot.

In addition, people from all over the country flocked to the festival, and in the past few days when the drill ceremony was held, inns all over Ulzhou quickly exploded.

In the last battle, there was a shortage of more than 100 teams in the Yong'an Army, so this time Xiao also released his words, and the soldiers of the Zhenwei Battalion who performed well in the drill can also be credited once, and the performance of the previous drills and guards will be counted, and the best ones will be filled into the Yong'an Army.

This can be said to have caused an uproar in the Zhenwei camp, and the Yongan Army made up the quota and finally had the opportunity to enter the main barracks.

More than 3,000 people from the three battalions of the Zhenwei Battalion, at the instigation of their families, everyone rushed to train, and they were serious about everything, just to be able to enter the Yong'an Army.

Under such a huge temptation, there are naturally some people who want to go through the back door cheaply, but after the first batch of more than a dozen people were ruthlessly kicked out of the Zhenwei camp and all treatment was canceled, no one dared to have this idea anymore.

The only way to enter the Yong'an Army is to practice diligently, be strictly on duty and perform well in the drill code, and select 100 out of more than 3,000 people.

In any case, the final electors must be the elite men in the Zhenwei battalion, and there is no difference between the basic training methods of the Zhenwei battalion and the Yongan Army on weekdays, the biggest difference is that some military formations are not taught, and the time for daily drills is different.

In this way, after being filled into the Yongan Army, they can be put into training immediately, and they also save a lot of basic exercises.

On this day, there was a sea of people inside and outside the city of Ulzhou, and the Zhenwei camp first opened from the barracks, kept a queue on various streets and passed through the Zhenyuan Building, surrounded the city of Ulju and finally went to the school field outside the city, and officially began the drill.

Before this, a team of soldiers of the Yong'an Army had been guarding inside and outside the school field, and Xiao Yi and the senior generals of the Yong'an Army accompanied the officials who came spontaneously such as Han Shimeng and Cai Jiahe of Futai, and would watch the drill on the high platform that had been built.

First of all, the three fixed Shenwei General Cannons in Ulju City let out their deep roars, and three loud bangs shook Ulju City, announcing the official start of the drill.

This also caused a constant sound of surprise among the onlookers, and the voice of discussion became much quieter.

Immediately after that, the rumbling footsteps resounded through the city of Ulju, and the soldiers of the 123rd Battalion of Zhenwei were led by sword players, followed by pikemen in an upright posture, and their glittering spear tips formed a column of steel spears.

Respectively from the east, south, and west of the city, although the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion are not as elite as the Yong'an Army, but they are still wearing a brand-new Ming standard mandarin duck jacket, with leather armor inside, and they are all full of spirit and walking towards the outside of the city.

There were constant exclamations among the onlookers, with such protection from officials and soldiers, why not be at peace, and what unsightly thieves would come to invade?

On the drum tower, most of the wealthy gentry from Ulzhou and foreign countries gathered, among which Tao Qingfeng, the eldest lady of the Tao family, Zhao Yanlian, the head of the Zhao family, the Yin family, and the Niu family were also all present.

After the Wu family's affairs, many people no longer dare to underestimate Xiao Yi, although they are still a little unaccustomed to it, but Xiao Yi's various decrees in Ulzhou have not affected their interests after all, because of Xiao Yi's protection.

On the contrary, there were no more bandits in Ulzhou, and for the first time, Qingping was achieved, and many wealthy families became beneficiaries, and even many merchants had to ask the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion to escort them when they were transporting goods outside.

When the bandits saw the banner of the Yong'an Army, none of them dared to rob the goods, and they were far away, for fear that the Yong'an Army's horse team would be unhappy and cut them down.

But after all, there is only one Yong'an Army, and there are too many merchants in the world, and it is impossible for the Yong'an Army to take care of them all, so they can't move this, they can wait for the next one, there is no need to provoke Xiao Yi's evil star, and no one thinks that they can win.

"It is really gratifying that Miss Zhao and Mr. Zhou Qian got married, under such a big victory, Mr. Zhou Qian has to be reused by the guard, and it is expected that he will be promoted, and I hope that the eldest lady will say a few more kind words." Niu Peng, the head of the Niu family, greeted.

Zhao Yanlian smiled slightly: "The proprietor Niu said that he was laughing. ”

"Hahaha."

Those big families kept complimenting Zhao Yanlian, although Zhao Yanlian only replied lightly, but her heart was actually full of joy, Zhao Yanlian and Zhou Baotai, the general manager of the Yongan Army, were married.

At first, I thought it was a toad with a white swan, but the Yong'an Army won another big victory at the beginning of the year, and Zhou Baotai will definitely rise with it, and now many people admire Zhao Yanlian's vicious vision.

"Looks like the drill is about to begin." Hearing the sound of the three cannons, Tao Qingfeng said softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

The housekeeper behind her also rubbed his hands and said, "Although I can't see the posture of the Yong'an Army, the Zhenwei Battalion will not be bad." ”

A scholar dressed as a scholar, dressed in a green shirt, sat in front of the window on the second floor, and there was no wine and meat from those wealthy families on the table, only a bowl of tea and a three-foot long sword.

The scholar held the teacup in his hand, his eyes were full of relaxation, and he took a sip: "I didn't expect this Xiao Yi, as a martial artist, but he is not vulgar, he can do this, it's really strange." ”

Between the words, although he didn't care about it, his eyes flashed.

Qu Yingxuan sat alone in the private room on the second floor, and muttered to herself: "This guy actually defeated the Mongolian Tartars and caused such a sensation. ”

"It's also... How can the man I Qu Yingxuan fancy be mediocre. ”

As he spoke, his face flushed slightly, and there was a hint of shyness, if Xiao Ye saw it, he would be surprised, this female insect with a similar temperament and a man would also be shy?

Qu Yingxuan's eyes kept looking out the window, obviously waiting for something.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and there was a sudden noise inside and outside the Zhenyuan Building, and many people sitting around the table got up one after another and crowded to the window to watch.

The sergeant of the Zhenwei battalion passed by the downstairs of Zhenyuan in a neat queue, and the scholar looked over with a hint of surprise on his face.

"It's just the Zhenwei camp... So what does the Yongan Army look like? ”

The third battalion drove into the school field, and when they saw the Yongan sergeants standing solemnly inside and outside the school field, there were only a few people, and the solemn aura revealed by their bodies made many people feel depressed.

The soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion walked into the school with awe and envy, and they all wanted to perform well and be selected for the Yong'an Army, so that they could also glorify their ancestors.

After entering the school field, the sergeants of the Zhenwei battalion were surprised to see that Xiao Yi and the generals of the Yongan Army were actually on the high platform, and the senior officials of Datong Town all looked at him with a smile.

Even the military gate and the Futai lord also came, but it was not them who made the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion nervous, but Xiao Yi, who was in the most central majesty and holding the Qi family sword, was surrounded by various senior generals of the Yongan Army at this time.

Unlike other officials, Xiao Yi and the generals of the Yong'an Army did not have a trace of relaxation in their eyes, but looked at this side with frowns.

While the Zhenwei Battalion, which had just entered the school grounds, maintained its formation, its breathing became slightly short, this is Xiao Yi.
