Early the next morning, Yi Xiaodao was woken up while still asleep: "What happened?" What's noisy outside? ”

"Lord Yi, a lot of people have come to Richeng, and they are all gathered outside the barracks!" Wei Youming said in the account.

"The people? Didn't all the food run out yesterday? What else to do? It's not such a way to fight the landlord! "Yi Xiaodao got out of bed with a puff of anger, and he was going out to check.

When they came to the gate of the barracks, Xue Mang, Fan Jun, Li Dingxing, Xiang Lian'er and others had already stood in the barracks, loudly comforting the people, but the people were angry, and the two sides were noisy.

"What's going on?" Yi Xiaodao came to the door and asked Li Dingxing.

Before Li Dingxing could answer, Xiang Lian'er turned around and glared at Yi Xiaodao: "You did a good job last night!" What did you do? Provoked so many people? ”

"I... Eat..."Yi Xiaodao didn't understand.

"Lord Yi, we are here to join the army, accept us!"

"Master Yi, I have three brothers, and my parents have two brothers to take care of, let me in!"

"I've got a lot of strength! Master Yi will give me a knife, and I will show you! ”

When the people saw Yi Xiaodao coming out, they hurriedly shouted and pushed, and the Yulin army guarding the door almost couldn't hold it, and was pushed into a slightly loose formation.

Yi Xiaodao came to his senses now, it turned out that so many people came to join the army, but he didn't send a conscription notice!

"If Master Yi doesn't accept us, we won't leave!"

"Yes, not leaving!"

"Thanks to Lord Yi, otherwise my father and mother would have starved to death, and I would have died at the gate of the barracks of Lord Yi!"

The people played a "scoundrel", Xiang Lian'er turned her head and glared at Yi Xiaodao: "You caused trouble, you say, what should I do now?" ”

Yi Xiaodao lowered his head and pondered, he really couldn't remember when he gave the order to conscript. The last time the army was recruited was in Nanhuai Yi City, how long has it been, and how did the people of the city know about this day?

"Folks, please borrow a way." Someone shouted from the periphery. When the people looked back, it turned out to be the ghost knife Liu and the one-eyed snake, the names of the two of which were known to everyone in the Japanese city, and could even make children stop crying in the middle of the night. Why did these two evil stars come too? The people who were shouting just now hurriedly retreated, for fear of colliding with the two men.

"The grass man Lu Lishan, the grass man Zheng Kang, meet Lord Yi." The ghost knife Liu and the one-eyed snake knelt on the ground, and saluted Yi Xiaodao: "Lead a total of 7,000 people under your command, and I am willing to vote for the adult, and never change it, if you violate this oath, you will die, and you will not be able to have a whole corpse!" ”

Fan Jun approached Yi Xiaodao and said in a low voice: "Those who fall into the grass on the rivers and lakes generally don't use their real names and surnames, for fear of being investigated to the end, once they use their real names and surnames, they are determined not to change." To be honest, even I don't know the real names of these two men. ”

"What's your real name?" Yi Xiaodao suddenly burst out with a sentence.

"Fan Jun..."Fan Jun was a little inexplicable.

Yi Xiaodao shook his head: "What is the name of Fan Jun, it is still Fan Jun good." ”

Fan Jun: "......"

"The Daqi Army is not a place for child's play, you can't leave if you want to, you can stay if you want to!" Wei Youming said angrily, Han Shi was really scared of him before, even if Daqi allowed the generals and officials who were outside to recruit troops on their own.

"Please also ask the general to inform me of the rules of the barracks, we will not enter the barracks, we will be self-sufficient in food and clothing, but please follow behind Master Yi!" The two said in unison.

"The prodigal son will not change his money! Gold is not exchanged! Please get up, please get up! Welcome back both. Yi Xiaodao smiled, he still likes heroes like Fan Jun, right and wrong are clear, right and wrong. What about being a bandit? He Yi Xiaodao has to live in order to make a living! As for the previous incident, if he hadn't been inspired by Master Si Wangnan's deeds of guarding the island for ten years, he might not have dared to come back and fight with the Dongwei people.

Wei Youming didn't say anything more, in fact, he didn't hate these people, of course, because he hadn't seen how much evil they had done.

The two of them were overjoyed when they saw that Yi Xiaodao agreed to take them in, and they kowtowed violently to the ground, and were quickly dragged up by Yi Xiaodao Fan Jun. When the onlookers saw this, they suddenly realized that they knelt on the ground one after another, and without saying a word, they kowtowed to the ground.

"Stop!" Yi Xiaodao shouted loudly, scaring everyone: "Parents who suffer from the skin! The matter of joining the army can still be discussed, don't follow the same example! ”

"Master Yi, I heard that there is a shortage of soldiers in the army, so I will sincerely vote. Moreover, everyone in this world wants to find a way to survive, and I hope that Lord Yi will take it in! There was a man in the crowd who could still speak, and he was the first to speak, and everyone nodded again and again, looking at Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the other people, Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er hurriedly stepped aside, looking like they didn't care about themselves. Xue Mang stood behind Yi Xiaodao, and he had become accustomed to this position for a long time. Fan Jun and Wei Youming stared at Yi Xiaodao in turn, waiting for his idea. After looking around, no one had an idea.

"Lord Yi, I am originally from Richeng, and the people are deeply affectionate, so you don't have to excuse yourself." Wang Xuan came out of nowhere, and said loudly: "The people are nothing more than a way to live and run for a future. ”

Yi Xiaodao looked at Wang Xuan, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his eyes glanced at the palm of Wang Xuan's hidden behind his back, and he understood in his heart. However, it was not easy to pursue at this time, so he turned around and asked: "The military camp is not child's play, and you need to put life and death aside when you go to the battlefield." You guys..."

"Death is death!" A teenager got up from the ground and said loudly.

"Good! Have guts! You will be a pioneer for me in the future! Yi Xiaodao applauded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the people's surrender.

Once Yi Xiaodao agreed, the people cheered, and Wei Youming arranged for two deputy generals to register the people who came to vote one by one and ask about the situation at home. Unmarried, only child, etc., are not allowed to be discussed. Half of the number of people has gone, and Rao is like this, and he still recruited a lot of people.

The day passed in a flash, Wei Youming strode into the tent and reported the situation to Yi Xiaodao: "Lu Liguang and Zheng Kang, the two bandit leaders, led 7,000 troops, and the people of Richeng joined the army 6,000 people, recruiting 4,000 people to use, a total of 11,000 new people. Plus 5,000 Yulin troops, 8,000 Nanhuai troops, and 500 bandits. 24,500 in all. ”

"Hey, the team has grown again so quickly." Yi Xiaodao sighed.

Wei Youming said: "This time is different from the last time, this time the soldiers and horses are all carefully selected, not as mixed as last time. It's just that the Yulin Army, the Nanhuai Army, and the bandits have more wounded, and it is difficult to call for battle for a while. ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded, he is not afraid of this, he has money and food now, just wait. When these veterans recover from their injuries, they should also take advantage of this time to train the new recruits who have just entered the camp.

"Then hand it over to General Wei, by the way, these recruited people, don't always call them bandits, this word is too appropriate." Yi Xiaodao suggested.

Wei Youming nodded in agreement and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"How about building two more battalions for these newly recruited heroes and people? Think about any good names? Yi Xiaodao pondered.

"How about the Reformed Camp and the Monk Martial Camp?" Although Wei Youming is a military general, he always wants to do something civil, so he can't wait to blurt it out at this time.

Yi Xiaodao thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "The word 'reform' is still inappropriate, it should be called 'waving Zheng'." 'Martial arts', fighting to stop martial arts, 'martial arts' is not appropriate. The people are His Majesty's people, and naturally they are His Majesty's soldiers, so it is better to call them 'Shangwu', how about it? ”

Yi Xiaodao called the four treasures of the study, and wrote the words "waving Zheng" and "Shangwu" on the paper in a regular manner.

Wei Youming scratched his head: "It's still an adult who has a level, this name is good!" I will give the order. ”

"Wait, if there are people from the rivers and lakes who come to vote in the future, they will all belong to the 'waving expedition' battalion, but all the people can be attributed to the 'Shangwu', just like that, don't change." The Shangwu' battalion also needs to practice martial arts and issue weapons. The 'Waving Expedition' battalion was originally a heroic hero, not to mention martial arts, but also to use customary weapons. "Yi Xiaodao can say whatever comes to mind.

"Your Excellency is wise." Wei Youming nodded and walked out of the tent, Yi Xiaodao originally wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and no one can think about things perfectly.

The military camp began to train vigorously and vigorously, and the military camp was more than double in size. Yi Xiaodao learned that in order to replenish military supplies, he spent nearly 500,000 taels, and almost fainted in the handsome tent crying. provoked Xiang Lian'er to laugh more than once, and even Fan Jun shook his head when he knew about it, lamenting that Yi Xiaodao was "unproductive".

Less than ten days is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Nanhuai soldiers who have been clamoring in the military camp to return to their hometowns for the New Year have also lost their voices with the arrival of Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er. Although Li Dingxing was a loyal prince at this time, the old department of Nanhuai still regarded him as the king of Nanhuai from the bottom of his heart. The king of Nanhuai came to Donglu, and the Nanhuai army, who had been away from home for a long time, seemed to have a sense of belonging all of a sudden, and it was not particularly important whether he went home for the New Year or not.

In order to alleviate the homesickness of the Nanhuai army, Li Dingxing sent people back to Nanhuai from time to time, if not for anything else, just for the Nanhuai army to bring silver and two items to their families. This made Wang Xuan suffer, he had to write hundreds of letters every day, and many Nanhuai soldiers still had Nanhuai accents, Wang Xuan couldn't understand them at all, so he had to ask Li Dingxing to translate them. Yi Xiaodao laughed heartily every time he saw this.

It was another day and night, Yi Xiaodao, as usual, and Xiang Lian'er each held a cup of tea and paced outside the barracks. As the only woman in the barracks, Xiang Lian'er didn't feel any inconvenience, as long as she was with Yi Xiaodao, she felt very down-to-earth, no matter what happened, just leave it to Yi Xiaodao to worry about.

On the hillside not far from the barracks, two figures sneakily appeared, spying on Yi Xiaodao's barracks.

"The Dongwai people have already arrived?"

"It doesn't look like it, why does that flag say 'Yi'? Is there also the word 'Yi' in the Eastern Japanese language? ”

"Didn't the kid who came to vote say that the imperial court sent a large army? I don't know what people's surnames are, but it's them. ”

"Shhhh

After the two figures finished speaking, they bowed down and were about to leave.

In the barracks, the figures of Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er have disappeared, only the two cups of tea on the ground are still steaming...
