Soon after returning to Chenzhou, Liu Bing'er found that Pang Yue said that he would not let him leave, which was definitely not just talking, but taking practical actions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Bing'er now lives in a separate courtyard in the backyard of the general soldier's yamen, and in the evening, she inadvertently saw a sentry in the courtyard in front of her residence.

Seeing those serious and upright soldiers, Liu Bing'er was neither afraid nor angry, but felt a little funny, and walked over generously and asked them what they were doing here. But no matter how much she asked, the soldiers kept their mouths tightly and didn't say a word, but when she tried to walk out of the courtyard gate, they would all block the gate, saying that it was the chief soldier's explanation.

Although Liu Bing'er has a lively temperament, she is a very good-tempered person, so she just smiled helplessly at this, and then returned to her residence.

On the second day, it made Liu Bing'er cry and laugh even more. Pang Yue didn't know where to get two thirteen or fourteen-year-old little maids sent to her, and they followed her all the time. In the face of Liu Bing'er's inquiry, the two little girls timidly replied that this was Enlai's agent, so that they could follow Liu Bing'er all the time. As for the "Engong" in the little girl's mouth, you don't need to think about it to know that it is Pang Yue.

After the two little maids were sent over, the sentry in the courtyard was withdrawn, but Liu Bing'er, who happened to walk out of the courtyard gate, saw that the few soldiers who stood in front of his residence yesterday had been scattered to the rockery outside the courtyard, slowly walking back and forth and looking at this side from time to time.

Faced with Pang Yue's series of arrangements, Liu Bing'er, who had never tasted house arrest since she was a child, suddenly cried and laughed: This guy is just a matter of retaining, and he would actually use this unreasonable way.

Time passed imperceptibly, and it was mid-November again.

On the morning of 21 November, all the officers and men of Huguang Town, both new and veterans, gathered at the Liujiayuan campus in the north of the city, waiting for an important ceremony -- the presentation of the flag.

On 19 November, after the recruit training phase, more than 10,000 recruits were divided into different branches of the army and assigned to battalions with veterans.

Among them, the officers and veterans in the Huben battalion were drawn from the original Gangfeng battalion, the veterans in the broken battalion were drawn from the original camp, and the officers and veterans in the Huashan battalion were drawn from the original Taishan battalion. As a result, these battalions have a certain common origin with each other.

The combination of veterans and recruits, although it will reduce the original combat effectiveness of the army, but Pang Yue can't think of a better way, next year the Qing army will attack Huguang on a large scale, leaving little time for himself, only in this way, through the old to lead the new can the new soldiers form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, in order to prevent emergencies, Pang Yue deliberately controlled the proportion of recruits in the Flying Tiger Battalion and the trapped camp. Therefore, so far, these two battalions have the highest proportion of veterans in the entire Huguang Town, and with the best equipment in the town, they will definitely be able to play a vital role on the battlefield in the future.

On the school ground, more than 20,000 soldiers lined up in eight phalanxes with battalions as units. The officers and veterans stood up straight like iron towers, and the recruits had learned a little bit after more than ten days of adaptive training, and tried their best to imitate the appearance of the officers and veterans, and tried their best to make themselves look like soldiers.

The officers and men present, whether officers, soldiers, soldiers, and auxiliaries, all wore old or new mandarin duck battle jackets, and looked down from a high place, and the school field was like a few big red carpets.

At present, although all the soldiers in Huguang Town have been recruited, the required armor is not in place for a while. In addition to the non-iron leaf cotton armor worn by the auxiliary soldiers, which basically meets the needs, the required iron armor is missing nearly 50 percent, and the iron leaf cotton armor is missing about 40 percent. Faced with this situation, in addition to ordering the craftsmen to work hard, Pang Yue also thought of a lot of methods, and even wrote a letter to Zhu Dadian again with a cheeky face, hoping that the military department could allocate some more. …,

However, fortunately, under Pang Yue's strict supervision, the tailors recruited from various prefectures and counties worked overtime, and after a month of hard work, they finally finished all the mandarin duck battle jackets that were lacking in Huguang Town, avoiding the situation that some soldiers wore tattered cloth clothes to practice or be reviewed.

According to the rules set by Pang Yue, in the future, the soldiers of Huguang Town will wear mandarin duck battle jackets during peacetime drills, and then wear helmets and armor during wartime. As today, there is no longer armor for a certain ceremony. Therefore, both officers and ordinary soldiers wore only mandarin duck battle jackets.

Speaking of which, the mandarin duck battle jackets of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers were still relatively powerful in this era. The soldier's mandarin duck jacket is a bright red, narrow-sleeved placket with a knee-length hem. The whole body of the jacket is made of red cotton cloth, with a white lining inside, and a fine square hole mesh twisted with fine iron wire, and the rest is filled with cotton. They also wore a wire mesh skirt or iron mesh pants from the waist down, a red hat on their heads, and iron mesh boots were also issued during wartime.

The officer's mandarin duck jacket is not much different from the soldier's in style, except that it is lined with double iron nets, and there is a green cloth war skirt hanging down to the middle of the calf.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and this is really true. After putting on the newly issued mandarin duck battle jacket and red hat military hat, the recruits who were still ragged and rustic twenty days ago suddenly added a lot of heroic spirit, as if they were a different person.

Many recruits looked at themselves, and then secretly looked at their companions, and unconsciously smirked proudly. attracted the surrounding veterans to cast strange eyes from time to time.

At eight o'clock in the morning (after a large number of mechanical clocks were equipped in the army, Pang Yue promoted this new set of timekeeping units throughout the army), and the flag awarding ceremony officially began.

After a powerful drum beat, all the soldiers began to sing the military song of Huguang Town, "Chinese Boy's Military Song". Although Pang Yue shook his head when he heard the voices of many recruits who were not fully moved, the whole process was still carried out after all.

After the chorus ended, the battalion officers of the four newly formed battalions, followed by two guards, came to the parade platform in the school field, took the battalion flags of each battalion from Pang Yue and Zhang Yunli on the stage, and then handed them over to the guards behind them, and after solemnly saluting Pang Yue and Zhang Yunli, they returned to their own ranks along the same road.

The battalion flags of the four battalions of the newly formed four battalions, namely Huben, Pojun, Agni, and Huashan, were also designed by Pang Yue himself. The four camp flags are the same as the old four battalions such as the previous Flying Tiger Battalion in terms of specifications and background color, among them, the pattern on the Tiger Camp Flag is a halberd and a pistol crossed together, the pattern on the Agni Camp Flag is a raging fire, and the pattern on the Huashan Camp Flag is the outline of the main peak of Huashan, in order to distinguish it from the Taishan Camp Flag, a few arcs are deliberately added.

As for breaking the military flag of the barracks, Pang Yue took a little effort and vetoed many ideas after thinking about it. Draw a weapon on the flag? There is no novelty, the concept is too repetitive, and it is not good. Drawing thousands of troops and horses charging? This is a military flag, not a caricature, and the same veto. However, it is a bit difficult to design a simple, generous and majestic pattern. In his previous life, he majored in engineering and had no talent for art design, but it was difficult to shirk the enthusiasm of his subordinates so he reluctantly shouldered the heavy responsibility of designing the military flag.

After thinking about it, Pang Yue finally decided on the simplest pattern: the Big Dipper. After learning for the first time that the battalion flag of their battalion would be this pattern, although the soldiers who broke the barracks felt a little inexplicable, they finally accepted it, after all, it was designed by the chief soldier himself, even if it was not very good-looking, it was a kind of honor.

After the battalion officers and guards of the newly formed Fourth Battalion left with the battalion flags, the officers of the Fourth Battalion and above 100 also began to walk through the parade platform from the side in order, and took over the 100 general flags, the general flags, and the 1,000 general flags from Pang Yue and Zhang Yunli. …,

When they took over the new flag, almost all the officers had an irrepressible excitement on their faces: this is their own flag! In the future, he will command his soldiers to gallop on the battlefield under this banner and make great achievements!

After the flag-presenting ceremony was completed, the eight squares on the school grounds returned to calm. The military flags that had been led down by the officers had all been flown out, and the hunting sound in the breeze made the whole army even more solemn.

Fluttering in the wind near the parade platform was the larger tiger talisman pattern Huguang Town military flag, and its Pang Yue looked at the black army under the parade platform, and suddenly burst out with a long shout: "My Huguang Town-"

"Wan Sheng! ――”

"Wan Sheng!! ――”

"Wan Sheng!! ――”

The officers and veterans were the first to respond, and soon the honest recruits were infected and joined. Suddenly, the response of the mountains and tsunamis was like thunder rolling up on the flat ground, straight into the sky.

Listening to the heart-wrenching earth-shattering sound in the audience, Pang Yue could no longer suppress the pride in his heart: This is my soldier! Expelle the soldiers of Jiannu and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family!!
