When everyone returned to the fort, it was already dusk, and Xiao Yigang arrived in his room and immediately found Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Shi Gang, and Wang Dayong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The big guys discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to vacate a wooden house for three Mongols, and set up four people and a squad leader to be on duty in two shifts at night to prevent the Mongols from escaping.

Later, taking advantage of the fact that it was not too late, Huang Yang immediately took more than 20 troops to continue to build a nest along the eastern city wall to temporarily provide more than 20 new families to live.

At the same time, Shi Gang was sent to lead some people to settle the cattle and sheep, and Xiao Xiao also decided to raise them in the fort, and then recruit special people to provide for them, and as for the cattle to be reclaimed in the future, the farmland will be distributed to the people.

Wang Dayong led people to be responsible for burying the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle in the back mountain, and then was responsible for guarding the surrounding fort tonight, and the rest of the people performed their duties.

After dismissing everyone, Xiao also left Shi Lu alone.

"Shi Lu, I understand what you said today." Xiao Yi looked directly at Shi Lu.

Shi Lu hugged his fists, "Don't worry, my lord, Shi Lu left overnight, and Shi Lu will never return if he doesn't take all the old brothers and their families back to Tunpu safely!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded, he was most at ease with Shi Lu, otherwise he would not have handed over such a major matter to him. "Shi Lu, this way is to repeat the way we came, now there are still Houjin remnants wreaking havoc everywhere, don't provoke if you meet it, don't care if you don't manage it, don't forget that the task is important!"

Seeing Shi Lu nodding, Xiao Yi continued, "This trip is difficult, so be it." Liu Sheng will let you take it away, this kid can say, it is also a big help, and you can choose a few veterans to accompany you. After speaking, he turned around and took out a bag of silver coins from a small cupboard, "This is two hundred taels of silver, Tunbao has a lot of affairs now, and there are still many people to settle these new people, and there is not a lot of money left." ”

Shi Lu was moved, held the silver two tightly, and half-knelt on the ground, "Entrusted by my lord, Shi Lu should work hard to complete it!" I'm going to find Liu Sheng! ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and Shi Lu went out of the house directly.

Watching Shi Lu walk out of the house, Xiao Yi also walked back and forth in the room.

I have been thinking about this step for a long time, these veterans are not like they said back then, they are all alone, in fact, Xiao Yi has long known that most of them have family members near Jingshi.

Two veterans died in the battle, and their families didn't even know about it. This strengthened Xiao Yi's mind, no matter what, he had to take all the families of these veterans back to Yong'an Fort, if he couldn't even protect the families of these old subordinates, how could he protect more people?

But this road is not smooth, this is also a problem that Xiao Yi has always considered, in case the families of the veterans have some accidents on the way here, the consequences are unimaginable.

But think about it again, these veterans followed their birth and death, and now they are powerless to watch those veterans die one by one, so they can only set up a spiritual position for them, but what is the use of this, people can't be resurrected after death, and they can't see it. Although the veterans didn't mention it, Xiao Yi could see that some people were already missing their families.

Therefore, for the sake of these veterans who have been following him in obscurity, Xiao Yi should decide to give it a go, and this time should be sooner rather than later.

This can't be told to too many people, and even those veterans, except for a small number of people, the rest still don't know about it, so it will cause trouble.

The next day, Xiao Yi led all the soldiers who died in battle, both veterans and recruits, carved a spiritual seat, and stood next to the spiritual seat of Liu Fangliang, who died in the previous battle, and the old brothers always guarded Yong'an Fort.

Xiao Yi took Shi Gang and a few people and the soldiers to stand outside the ancestral hall, these recruits were less immature and more stable after experiencing such a life-and-death battle, and understood the importance of obeying orders, and also knew the necessity of Xiao Yi to let them train like this.

Xiao Yi led everyone to bow deeply to the brothers who died in battle,

"The soldiers who died in the battle were all fighting for Yong'an Fort, and they were all heroes who killed the Tartars. When the reward is given, everyone will have a reward, and the families of the fallen soldiers will be exempted from all future taxes for life, and each household will be given three acres of land, and each household will be given thirty taels of silver, one ploughing ox, and two sheep. ”

Xiao Yi's words made the people thank them one after another, and even the recruits were half-kneeling on the ground, after all, there were really not many superiors who treated their subordinates like this at this time, and if they died in battle, they died in battle. No one will set up a spiritual position for him, let alone comfort his family, although these are not much, but this is enough to explain Xiao Yi's attitude.

This made those newcomers respect Xiao Yi more and look forward to their future lives.

"Thank you, Lord Banner!"

"Thank you, Lord Banner!"

The sound lingered over the ancestral hall for a long time.

Xiao Yi only found Wang Dayong, Shi Gang, Huang Yang, and Liu Tong today, and the rest did not follow.

The five of them rode to the west together, and built the Tunbao for so long, except for the initial survey of the terrain here, they really haven't been here themselves, let alone carefully observed.

The group rode a healthy horse, and Xiao Yi laughed heartily, "Brothers, when you were in the dilapidated small wooden house in Daankou, did you ever think that you and my brothers would have today. ”

Wang Dayong laughed, facing the sky on his back, as if recalling the time at that time, "Yes, I still remember that I caught up with the Tartars in a few days, and everyone thought that they were dead, or Brother Xiao fled to Fourth Brother Liu's Zhuangzi with everyone." Then he said with some shame, "It was also there, Lao Langzhong saved me." ”

Shi Gang suddenly laughed, "Haha, Brother Dayong, you haven't forgotten the girl from the second family." ”

Wang Dayong put away his smile and looked serious, "How come, that girl treats me like this as a vulgar and reckless man, how can I bear others, and in the future, I will have to follow Brother Xiao to make a name, and it is good that the media is marrying!" ”

Xiao Yi patted Wang Dayong on the shoulder, and said with a firm look in his eyes, "At that time, my brother will be a matchmaker for you one by one!" ”

Several people laughed, and Huang Yang patted Liu Tong on the shoulder, "Yes, at that time, it was Liu Tong's kid who lied to us, so we believed him, but I didn't expect that this kid didn't know anything!" ”

Liu Tong looked embarrassed, "At that time, it was also thanks to the brothers who didn't dislike me, Liu Tong was useless." Shi Gang was not happy when he heard this, "What words, what do you call useless, you must never say such things again in the future." ”

Liu Tong was moved, and it may be the greatest luck in his life that he has harvested such a group of brothers.

Then he looked at Xiao Yi and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, you said that you would be a matchmaker for us, but what about you, aren't you going to find a mother-in-law?" ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed, "Alas! Not to mention that the Tartars have not been destroyed, the thieves have not been pacified, and even their own revenge has not yet been avenged, how can there be such a thought! ”

Liu Tong looked solemn and said, "Brother Xiao, Li You will definitely die at the hands of you and my brothers." The Tartars will be destroyed, and the thieves will be pacified. I have this confidence in Brother Xiao and all of you! The rest of Huang Yang and the three of them all looked at Xiao Yi firmly.

Xiao Yi glanced at Liu Tong and was surprised that Liu Tong actually said such a thing, it seems that Liu Tong has changed a lot these days.

Nodding, Xiao Yi asked, "Dayong, how is this wasteland looking?" ”

Wang Dayong said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, I have asked some local people, and found that the mandarin duck water to the west gate of Tunpu is a relatively fertile field, which is very suitable for reclamation as farmland, while the wasteland in other places is slightly dry and needs to dig a canal to divert water. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, rode his horse to a relatively open mountain bag, everyone followed the horse to go up, only to see that the front of the eyes was extremely open, until the mandarin duck water was in the eyes.

"People think it's the best place to dig a ditch."

A few people looked over, Wang Dayong took his waist knife and gestured along the outline of the mandarin duck water in the distance: "Brother Xiao, look over there, there is a small diversion of the mandarin duck water, if you divert water from there to irrigate the wasteland, it is convenient, and it can not be dried for a long time!" ”

Xiao Yi and the others looked over, and it was indeed the best location of that tributary. Then he raised his horsewhip, "Everyone follow me to take a look closer, and I can set the direction of digging the ditch!" ”

Everyone agreed, and rode their horses and whipped up to follow Xiao Yi.
