"General Xie Long'en."

After a moment, everyone knelt down and everyone understood that they were not abandoned, but that they were successful.

Everyone has knelt, but every time they kneel down to Zhao Yan, it is out of their hearts, because Zhao Yan has never asked them to kneel down.

"Standing attentively." Zhao Yan shouted loudly, and the veterans stood up one after another. Zhao Yan continued: "After you retire, you must keep in mind the education in the army, do not get involved in bad habits, do not bully your compatriots, be enthusiastic about helping and protecting your compatriots. You must actively supervise local governments and actively respond to bad policies."

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, he replied in unison: "Remember the general's teachings."

From this scene, reporters from various newspapers saw what it means to be well-trained and well-educated. The soldiers have strong understanding and quick reaction.

"Very good, don't let this general down, and go forward to receive the medals." Zhao Yan said, and Zhao Quan brought the box containing the medals over.

Zhao Quan opened the box, and inside it were retired medals made of pure gold.

Zhao Yan received the medal and began to wear it for the veterans with his own hands. Then he encouraged him to say to the soldiers in front of him: "Don't forget the military education, and live a good life when you go to the place."

"Yes." The soldier saluted with tears.

Zhao Yan put the soldiers present on the military medals one by one, and the medal awarding ceremony was held all day.

The medal awarded to them this time weighs 31 grams, which is almost one tael of gold, or 10 taels of silver, but it is actually not much.

10 taels of silver are not much for these retired soldiers, but every soldier cherishes it very much. Medals need to be preserved well, which represents the honor of soldiers. And getting this medal means that they are officially discharged from the army. This is the last medal they have received, and no one will sell it.

Basically no one chose to sell medals, and their treatment after they were discharged from the army was generous.

Everyone can obtain 500 acres of land in the territory of Daming, and it is flat and connected, so they will mostly choose places with convenient transportation.

On overseas colonies and the open territory in the north, they can obtain 3,000 to 5,000 acres of land. If they want to open factories and do business, they can also go back to Zhaojiabao for training.

Zhao Yan encouraged them to do business very much because he needed businessmen with good character, and most of the character that were educated in the melting pot of the army was fine.

At the same time, they can also obtain credit loans when doing business, which is something that ordinary businessmen cannot enjoy.

These veterans have been trained for two months after they have been discharged from the army and understand their obligations and responsibilities after they have been discharged. Many people choose to go to the frontiers and colonies because they can continue fighting there.

But most people still choose to stay in the Ming Dynasty. Not everyone has the courage to go to the desolate colony to spend their days. However, after many veterans lived in the place for a few years, they gradually became tired of their ordinary life. Some of them went to school to study, some went to business, and some took up their weapons again and formed an expedition team with their former comrades to explore overseas...
