After finishing the affairs of the 21st century and the town of Deer Valley, Xiao Lin finally had time to reward the soldiers for their deeds. was too busy before, and his three brothers, Yu Xiao, Zhao Menghai, and Qu Jun, were all helping to deal with things in the 21st century. And other people with a little ability were also sent to Lugu Town to preside over the overall situation, so Xiao Lin didn't have enough manpower even if it was combat merit statistics. It took two weeks of work to get the count. It's been nearly two months since the previous war.

It's just ordinary fighters, they are waiting a little anxious. They are still waiting to get their reward money and go on a shopping spree at the supermarket. As a result, the military merit statistics were not completed, and they were dragged on until now. If no reward is given, the warriors will have to complain. It's no wonder that they have been rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes is the best way to manage the army, so just after the statistics, Xiao Lin opened a commendation meeting in the barracks.

In addition to the six hundred warrior bonuses and appreciation books in the small town of Deer Valley, the remaining 1,400 warriors all participated in the commendation meeting. Outside the barracks, there was also a large group of civilians watching the excitement. The trading caravan, led by Raul and Jaime, also heard about this and came to see the excitement. Speaking of which, these two people are now also superficially trying to stand with Yanhuang Trading Company. The annihilation of the Adams family and the Pandey family alliance has already shocked the British, who feel that they will not be able to grow here.

If it weren't for the fact that the Yanhuang Trading Company hadn't shown any strength in the navy, they still had a little luck in their hearts about the British Royal Fleet, and they would have to join the company directly.

On the spacious barracks training square, 1,400 soldiers lined up, waiting for the exciting moment of promotion and fortune. Several civilian staff members were adjusting the microphones on the podium, and Mr. Sorin was in a tent sorting out his clothes. After the microphone was debugged, someone trotted to inform Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin walked out in a military uniform, dressed in a straight green regular uniform, which made Xiao Lin even more handsome, and Yu Wei and Pearl were beside him, looking dizzy.

Xiao Lin stepped up to the podium, took the microphone and began to speak.

"Ahem, today should be a day that many people are looking forward to. ”

"Hahaha......"

Xiao Lin's words detonated everyone's excitement, and there were happy laughter with a little embarrassment everywhere.

"It stands to reason that before this meeting, I have to say a few words. However, seeing that everyone is in a hurry, then, this commendation meeting will start directly. ”

"Okay......!

"First of all, let our fourth battalion commander, Babu, come up and announce the list of outstanding soldiers. ”

Xiao Lin handed the microphone to Babu, who was waiting next to him, and he was also a veteran of the company. Babu had done something similar before, but never so nervous, and in his opinion, it was an honor and trust, and he almost read the wrong script.

"I would like to thank the Chairman for his trust in me and for giving each and every outstanding soldier the reward they deserve. Without further ado, for now, we have fifty fighters who have distinguished themselves in the previous battles, Karl, Cayor, ......"

With the roll call of the Báb, one by one the ordinary soldiers with the rank of private left the ranks and trotted to the rostrum from the left, where they had distinguished themselves in the previous battles, not only killing and wounding more than fifteen enemies, but also giving a good influence to their comrades around them. Together with Sholin, Babu encouraged the fifty warriors and began to distribute military medals to them and wear them with new ranks. These fifty soldiers will leave the rank of private and officially become first-class non-commissioned officers, and in the army, they will also hold the position of deputy squad leader. In addition to these, there is also a cash prize of two hundred Yan Yellow Coins.

Every soldier was excited and red-eyed, and this kind of commendation meeting not only brought them honor, but also practical benefits. After being promoted to a non-commissioned officer, everyone's treatment has to be upgraded to a higher level, which is enough to support a family of five and has a surplus. Fifty men, all of whom had their non-commissioned officer ranks, exchanged military salutes with Bab Shorin, and then left the rostrum from the right side in turn. Xiao Lin stepped forward, said some words of encouragement, and continued.

This time, the first battalion commander Jack was in charge, and the old man was a little powerless, but he still had to come forward with this kind of scene. Jack announced a list of twenty outstanding non-commissioned officers who, having commanded their squads well in battle, had inflicted hundreds of casualties on the enemy, and for that credit they would also turn into officers. Of course, everyone is just a second lieutenant. For the time being, there are not so many platoon-level officer positions to arrange for them, so they can only take the treatment of an officer as a squad leader.

However, this situation will not last long, and the recruitment and formation of three new combat battalions is begining, and they will soon be on duty in the new units. Kent was one of these twenty excellent non-commissioned officers, and after thinking about the previous war, he still didn't have waterproof. Although he can't bear to attack the whites, he can still deal with the Indians. In the last battle, he not only single-handedly killed more than two dozen Indian warriors, but also commanded his squad to inflict a lot of damage on the enemy.

At this time, Kent was also very happy in his heart. After all, he put in the effort, fought with his life, and got enough rewards, which also means that he did not work in vain. In the current British army, if you want to be promoted, you need not only military merit, but also interpersonal relationships, and even aristocratic blood or background. Because of this, the whites of the convoy were reluctant to join the British army.

Kent is a powerful man, and there happened to be a vacancy in the position of platoon commander in the sixth battalion, so Xiao Lin made the decision to let him go up. Received an inauguration letter and a bonus for military merit medals, and the non-commissioned officers also left the rostrum. Next, it's James who comes in. Six well-behaved platoon commanders stepped into the podium during his roll call, and James joined Shawlin to award them experience. In the end, it was Apache who came up and announced the list of three excellent company commanders. Of the three spots, brothers Sam and Dean accounted for two.

However, the two of them also relied on real materials, and there was no fraud in their achievements. Jack is retiring in half a year, and the two of them are about to begin military training at the battalion commander level. No one thought that two ordinary fishermen could become the top batch of officers of a powerful army.

The three company commanders left the rostrum, and the commendation meeting ended. The battalion commander's reward, Xiao Lin had already given it privately, and they were all top officers of the escort team, so there was no need to be too public. Unless Xiao Lin and the battalion form a regiment, they are not now unable to be promoted, of course, there are rank upgrades and monetary rewards. And the monetary rewards of ordinary soldiers are also directly issued by the officers of the company platoon, and they all line up on the playground one by one. Xiao Lin took a few company commanders and took a group photo with those who were commended.

And the civilians who were watching the excitement outside also dispersed. Until now, there have also been some self-employed people. It is mainly a small shop that processes some small decorations and operates some special foods, which also attracts many people to consume. Seeing that the soldiers had paid out their bonuses, business would be much better these days, and they would have to go back and prepare for these generous guests. However, in the crowd, there was a group of people who seemed out of place, and even turned pale.

The company made a name for itself, and the town welcomed many guests. In addition to Raul and Jaime, there were also quite a few traveling merchants who had come to the town, and this group was the same one who had entered the town yesterday. Whether it is a caravan or not, Xiao Lin and they are definitely not sure, but the company also has to communicate with the outside, otherwise it will not be able to squeeze more profits. As long as these people are unarmed, don't make trouble in the town, and don't trespass on the secret buildings that are strictly forbidden to approach, nothing will happen.

And this group of people is the last struggle of the two families of Adams and Pandey. There were fifteen men in all, ten of whom were from two families, and the other five were of the Governor of the Colonies. The defeat of the two families again shook the entire British North American colonies. Charlie didn't intend to leave it at that, he still wanted to be hostile to the Yanhuang Trading Company, but he also felt that he had to find out the company's situation. Otherwise, they can only follow in the footsteps of the two families. The strength of the two families has been greatly damaged, and they can only take refuge in Charlie and be his loyal dog, so as to ensure the existence of the family.

The reason why they came to join in the excitement was because a soldier who had escaped from the battlefield said that Kent had been found in the company's troops. Kent's parents died young, and there were no close relatives in the family. After the previous war that destroyed the town of Pandey, Kent disappeared, and they all thought that Kent was dead, and no one went to track it down. But no one expected that Kent would actually appear on the enemy's side and attack them desperately.

In the eyes of the whole family, this is a great unfilial piety, and he originally wanted to send a killer to assassinate Kent. However, a new proposal was made to bring Kent back together and provide them with information about the company. Even so, everyone was very angry when they saw Kent as an advanced representative of the enemy, coming to the stage to accept commendations, and being promoted and making a fortune. Here, they did not dare to move, and they had to wait for Kent to leave the barracks before they could act.

Lucky for them, Kent had just taken out a loan to buy a house of his own. Because he fell in love, the object was the daughter of a white family who first entered the company. With good living habits, adequate cosmetics, and beautiful clothes, the women of the company are more beautiful than the women of other colonies or Indian tribes. Kent is also white-skinned and beautiful, well-behaved and sensible, literate and has his own work at the same time, and Kent is fascinated to death. However, there is no house, and his parents are reluctant to give their daughter to him.
