Chapter 356: I only know Xiao Yi but I don't know the imperial court

One day three days later, Xiao Yi was sitting in the room, looking at the bedroom in the general soldier's mansion in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he has been living here for three days, Xiao Yi still feels a little strange.

Slowly walked to the table in front of him, where Xiao Yixin's official uniform was neatly placed, and the exquisite gold waist plate of the protector was shining on Xiao Yi's waist at the moment.

Of course, what is more striking is the unusual armor on the table, which is so special that it is so beautiful that it cannot be faulted in every way.

The whole body of this armor is composed of a shawl, a mountain armor, a heart shield and a belt, an arm guard, a robe, a leg skirt, a guard foot and a short boot, and each nail leaf is actually made of silver and gold, interlocking and layered.

This is what later generations often said about the gold lacquer mountain armor, this kind of armor looks gorgeous and majestic at the same time, the protection is not inferior to the ordinary iron armor, and there is a matching sword, when the iron is sharpened like clay.

It is only because of the high cost of fraud that it has not been popularized in the army, and it has always been used by the emperor to reward meritorious officials.

Xiao Yi suddenly remembered that he had seen Yuan Chonghuan, who was then the governor of Jiliao, wearing this armor to fight against Houjin during the change of his own life in the second year of Chongzhen.

At that time, Xiao Yi was really amazed, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to wear this armor now, but now Xiao Yi's heart has long since lost the amazing feeling he once had, but caress the armor body, with a faint sadness.

Xiao Yi naturally knew how to wear armor, first put on boots, then wrapped around the skirt and tied it behind him, and then wore a mountain pattern armor and heart goggles.

Although it was so cumbersome, Xiao also knew that this step was nothing compared to the craftsmanship required to make such a pair of armor.

Shaking his body slightly, Xiao Yi heard a crisp sound of armor leaves, picked up the gold-plated iron helmet, Xiao Yi found that this iron helmet was also different from many armors at this time.

Ordinary Ming generals' iron helmets are mostly square in shape, and the straps only cover half of the neck, but this gold-lacquered mountain pattern armor tie is enough to be level with Xiao Yi's shoulders, and the side looks majestic.

In addition, the painted ornament pattern in the tie is also slightly different, changed to auspicious cloud pattern, and the tonal item has also been changed to a three-piece type, with a longer one at the back of the head, stacked on top of the left and right pieces, and made of small bubble nails by horizontal striped leather armor.

On the front, a round jade ornament with emerald green is embellished on it, which also has a sense of luxury.

Finally put on the full set of armor, I have to say that this armor seems to be tailor-made for Xiao Yi, it is just right to wear it on the body, and it looks heroic and mighty.

Xiao Yi looked at the two long swords on the table, on one side was the Qi family knife that had been fighting with his size since the second year, which was already covered with slash marks, worn, but it had a very meaningful meaning to Xiao Yi.

On the other side is the sword issued by Emperor Chongzhen, which is as sharp as clay.

With a chuckle, Xiao Yi didn't have much reason, picked up the Qi family knife, and walked out of the bedroom with a deep breath.

After staying here for a few days, Xiao Yizao had already thoroughly touched the courtyard of the chief soldier's house.

Compared to the mansion in Ulju, this mansion is not only much larger, but it is simply a small fortress inside, with everything you need.

According to Xiao Yi's estimation in the past few days, his new house covers an area of at least more than 1,200 square meters.

In addition to the main courtyard for deliberations and offices, the backyard is the main tone of this house, and there are three halls and several back buildings, all of which are brick and wood structures.

The hall has a single eaves hard hilltop, five rooms are wide, three rooms are deep, the plane is rectangular, the back building is composed of the main building and the east and west annex buildings, and is divided into two floors.

The main floor is five rooms wide and three rooms deep; There are three rooms in the width and depth of the building, the top of the hard mountain, there is a corridor, and there are all kinds of places such as rockery pools.

Walking out of the mahogany round nail gate, two sergeants immediately clenched their fists at Xiao Yiyi.

"See the military gate!"

Nodding, these two sergeants were the few standard battalion sergeants that Xiao Yi had just found, and Xiao Yi was more willing to trust them than those lazy ruffians.

Taking a deep breath of the air outside the house, I felt refreshed, and the gatehouses in front of the door had already been cut off by Xiao Yi as soon as possible.

These porters' attitude of treating things with money will sooner or later make a mistake, and Xiao Yi and a few people have also personally experienced these things, which will not only delay things, but also give people a feeling that the owner here is greedy for money and lustful, so naturally the sooner they are removed, the better.

As for the question of where those gatekeepers went, Xiao Yi hadn't thought about it so much for the time being.

In the past few days, looking at various account books and documents from previous years in the mansion of the General Soldier's Mansion, coupled with the casual clothes walking around, Xiao also has a better understanding of this town and city, but at the same time, he is more and more disappointed.

In response to that sentence, the bigger the place, the more thoroughly corrupt it will be.

In a huge town, almost all civil officials are greedy for money, all of them value fame and fortune, and almost all military generals are not afraid of civil servants, they are not greedy for money and afraid of death, and they are lustful and evil-working, and they almost do all bad things.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh: The military and civilians of Datong have suffered for a long time!

If you want to govern Datong like Ulzhou and really think about it in your heart, Xiao also knows that the only way to rebuild after it is completely shattered is to go!

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Haha, damn, this new armor really fits my old stone's body!"

Shi Gang and the others were each wearing brand-new iron helmets and iron armor, and all of them seemed to be extremely energetic.

After Xiao Yi received the order, he originally planned to go back to Ulzhou to reorganize the army, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing in Ulzhou that he needed to deal with by himself, and he already trusted Li Erniu and the three Xiao Yi very much, and everything was in order.

Xiao Yi just asked Liu Tong to take a few letters of his own and rushed back to Ulzhou to hand them over to Li Erniu and others, presumably he should have arrived in Ulzhou now.

As for Shi Gang and the others, Xiao Yigao was promoted to the chief military officer, and they naturally had a reward for everyone.

First of all, Huang Yang, as the deputy commander of the Yong'an Army, also made great contributions to the first battle of Linghe, and was promoted to command Tongzhi from the right guard of Sanpin Datong, and succeeded Xiao Yi as a guerrilla general on the Datong East Road.

Shi Lu was calm and calm, and was promoted to command Tongzhi from Sanpin Andong Zhongtunwei, and died in the middle of Liaodong guerrilla Ge Fuquan on behalf of the middle road guerrilla general, and served as the middle road guerrilla general in Datong Town.

Shi Gang bravely dared to fight, and was promoted to command Tongzhi from Sanpin Gaoshanwei, and served as the guerrilla general of the North Road in Datong Town.

Wang Dayong and Liu Tong fought bravely, and both were promoted to the commander of the Datong Left Guard, and because the rank of guerrilla general had expired, he was transferred to Datong Town to make up for the vacancy of the town guard in the city.

As for the rest of the generals of the Yong'an Army, everyone also has a reward.

However, it is said that the positions of several people are almost only fictitious, and their rights have long been divided up by local tycoons and officials.

For example, Shi Gang, who commanded the same knowledge from the Sanpin Gao Shan Wei, had the right to supervise Gao Shan Wei Tuntian and other affairs in the early Ming Dynasty, but Shi Gang couldn't even enter the Acropolis now, let alone take care of anything.

Therefore, although several people have official status, they have nowhere to go, and before Xiao Yi completely controls it, they can only stay in the town.

But then again, even if they can enter the Acropolis, Xiao Yi will not send them out, Datong Town is not yet stable, there are many fish and dragons in it, and there are many people with hidden evil intentions, and Xiao will not make any moves against other places before completely controlling this place in his own hands.

Shi Gang and the others are like this, and the rest of the Yong'an army generals don't pay much attention to the false positions given by the imperial court, and they mostly think that talking is better than nothing, and don't want to be in vain.

Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army actually failed to avoid a common phenomenon, that is, his subordinates only knew the generals, but they did not know the imperial court.

The generals of the Yong'an Army and the Zhenwei Battalion, almost everyone and their wives and children have received Xiao Yi's favor, and they have a good life today because of Xiao Yi.

Therefore, they all had the intention of fighting to the death for Xiao Yi, and they had long forgotten about the imperial court, and the daily drills and battles had already made them a close-knit collective.

Even the original court generals such as Li Erniu, Yuan Shaogong and Zhou Ding, after so long, have changed as if they were all people, and they are all determined to follow Xiao Yi to do things.

There is no hesitation at all about Xiao Yi's orders, and there is no disobedience, and for the words of the imperial court, Xiao Yi must be made clear before he will 'obey the order'.

But this phenomenon is not a good thing for Xiao Yi?
