When everyone met, Chen Zuo was responsible for introducing everyone one by one. Xu Zixian's face was dark and his tall body had become thinner. However, he was strong and had a serious expression. He was neither too reserved nor deliberately brought him closer. Everyone thought he was friendly, but he was also stern.

Such a person really makes people feel respectful and sighed.

"Thank you all to come here." Xu Zixian didn't say too much about winning over the relationship. After the Dongfan goods were all ready, the families of high-ranking officials, gentry and merchants would come. At that time, those people might come to ask the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. There is no need to put their posture too low, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.

Of course, most of the officials, gentry and businessmen who came here at this time had a friendly attitude and had close relationships with the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and Changwen Marquis Mansion, so they should be treated well.

Xu Zixian then continued: "I have pushed forward all business affairs in the evening and held a big banquet. At that time, I will invite you to the banquet and let's have a good banquet."

Everyone had already felt the power hidden in Dongfan, and they were full of awe of Xu Zixian. The deal for cooperation this time had actually been negotiated. The rest was nothing more than meeting Xu Zixian and expressing their friendship. At the same time, they also took a look at Xu Zixian's true attitude.

Obviously, everyone felt Nan'an Hou's enthusiasm and welcome attitude, and endorsement of this matter, so that everyone could feel at ease.

While talking, the army was constantly marching, and people got on a carriage or rode horses to go hand in hand with the army, but Xu Zixian always followed the army and exchanged greetings with everyone.

Chen Duzhu finally couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go on the horse?"

Xu Zixian said seriously: "When you walk out of the military camp, then walk back to the camp, and ride a horse on the way. Your previous kung fu was completely useless."

"So that's it." Chen Duzhu bowed his fists and bowed, and his respect for the young royal family in front of him was even more serious.

No wonder Chen Dujing admired him so much. In addition to marrying his daughter, he almost took out half of his private pockets to help the Nan'an Marquis Mansion develop the development in the Dongfan.

The people in Changwen Hou Mansion, whether it is Chen Duguang, Chen Duzhong, or the younger generation of Li Mingyu, Yang Fu and others, all praised Xu Zixian very much.

Chen Duzhu didn't know why before, but now he has completely understood.

Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, was originally wearing a gray round-necked martial robe, with a cowhide belt, a barrier knife, and a leather boot. At this time, the robe was worn and dirty, so the original color could not be seen. He was also extremely black and thin. There was a kettle hanging on the leather belt around his waist. It was obvious that he was fetching water and drinking it himself, and he did not use his hands to others.

The salt bags, flints, knifes and other objects on the body are obviously worn out, so they are obviously used frequently.

If an outsider is unidentified, Chu Chu would only think that Xu Zi was an ordinary warrior first, and at most a military officer of the top level.

However, this person is a family of the Great Wei clan with ten thousand households, a close relative of the bloodline and an important town among the clan. If it were not for the intention of suppressing the situation, with Xu Zixian's contribution, reputation, and bloodline, he would have long been appointed as the Duke of the Kingdom, and he would even be expected to spy on the position of the prince within ten years.

If the emperor still has no children ten years later, in addition to selecting the next generation of the descendants of the royal family as the prince, there is another way to be the emperor among the relatives of the royal family.

This is also a precedent in this dynasty. Dezong had no children and was seriously ill when he was young and strong. If he chose the next generation as the heir, he would be the lord who was suspicious of the country. At that time, he could only choose the older and wise among the close clan members, but the result was that Emperor Wenzong was selected.

In today's world, the virtues of the present are not enough. In addition, Donghu frequently enters the country and bandits are rampant everywhere in the country. The young men who were originally not elected as the heirs, so the higher the reputation of Xu Zixian, the more embarrassing his status in the royal family, and the more suspicious he is from the emperor.

It is also a blessing that it was the system of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the former Tang or Wei and Jin Dynasties, the emperor had already sent people to hold edicts and ordered Xu Zi to be killed before he could be relieved.

Such a noble identity and status and power in the Dongfan are like ordinary military officers. Such a person is obviously born to accomplish great things.

After the queue, in addition to the fire soldiers, there were a group of soldiers walking in a solemn manner holding a wooden box.

Chen Duzhu and others asked, but only after they realized that they were soldiers who died during the long-distance training.

Four soldiers died of heatstroke or dysentery, and one of them was bitten by a poisonous snake and died.

A long-distance marching of more than 2,000 people, under extremely difficult conditions, more than a dozen people were persuaded to retreat one after another, dozens of people were exhausted and forced to return, and five people died were inevitable.

From the farmland area to the settlement area, a large number of people have arrived after hearing the news.

The families of the dead of the march also rushed over, sadness was inevitable, and the woman's wailed loudly.

Xu Zixian asked the soldiers to bring the remains of the soldiers. They were surrounded by soldiers of the government and the onlookers. Although the family members were sad, their respect for Xu Zixian was not reduced. Everyone knew that the pension was heavy and there would be a grand military funeral. It was inevitable that those who entered the army would die no matter what the reason. Even if the garrison army died of floods, labor labour, excessive labor, or long-distance travel, time-consuming, or death from the hands of bandits, it was inevitable.

This was originally an era when the average life span was less than fifty years old. Men generally lived shorter than women. They worked harder than women, lacked food and clothing, and had no medicine. The ancients rarely had records of bad diseases. It was because too many people could not live at all when they were suffering from bad diseases. When they were suffering from a cold, typhoid, or pneumonia, they were even stared by mosquitoes, and they died after biting them.

Diseases like diabetes affect hundreds of millions of people in later generations, but in this era, it is a disease that is likely to be obtained by a very small number of noble people. This is a disease of wealth and honor.

For pension, you don’t have to worry about your future life, and you will even live better than before your relatives die. This is the meaning of Nan'an Hou Mansion to support the soldiers of the injured and disabled in the army.

If the soldiers were worried about their affairs, who would want to fight to the point of fighting?

Some people are born brave and do not care about their own safety in order to gain fame and fortune. The brave general of Gu Zhizhe's belly was cut and his intestines flowed out. They just pressed back to the abdominal cavity and then fought again. They had a physique that was against the will of heaven. It was amazing to survive after such injuries were sutured.

Most people simply choose a path to survive. It is good to be promoted and make money, but it is even more important not to live without themselves.

Only by tying everyone together and everyone is on the same boat, personal safety is firmly tied together with the lives of his wife, children, parents and relatives, and using iron-like discipline to restrain and train them in war, so that their behavior in the war is spontaneous, so that ordinary people can be pushed to death. In front of them is a death trap made of swords, guns, swords and halberds. The soldiers are going to climb up to the top of the city, and the people on the top of the city are preparing hot oil and stones to welcome them. Arrows can create a blood hole as big as a fist on the body. After the gun is stabbed, the person bent on the ground like shrimps, unable to speak in pain, his bones are broken, and his internal organs are damaged, and it will take a long time to die.

The soldiers fought hard in the flood, in the mud, and in the sea of ​​fire.

All suffering and struggle are not so easy, but rather difficult.

It is worth it to win, but it is not easy for any ordinary person to become a soldier and despise death.

As everyone watched, Xu Zi first pulled out the hanging knife on the leather belt and rolled up the sleeves. Then he used the knife to cut his arm and let the blood flow down, dripping onto the wooden box containing the remains of the death soldiers.

"The death of the warrior does not require the crying and wailing of a woman." Xu Zixian said with a normal expression: "He needs the blood of his companions even more, and in this way, he will send him a long journey."

Under the inspiration of Xu Zixian, Qin Dongyang and others also cut their skin and let blood fall to the ground.

...

Yanshan was cleared before the end of May, and the payment for the goods was sent one after another. In less than half a month, the treasury of Nan'an Hou Mansion had more than 200,000 coins, and nearly 100,000 coins would be sent in the short term.

Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian and others were the happiest. Many officials, craftsmen, and salt men were rewarded, and everyone was very happy and very happy.

This was the first stable source of wealth obtained by the Nan'an Marquis Mansion in the Dongfan. Influenced by the salt ships, several more merchant ships came to trade and trade this month, and a large number of local goods such as sand gold and deer skin were also transported away, resulting in an additional income of tens of thousands of yuan.

If it were calculated by money, it would be hundreds of millions of dollars, which sounds quite scary.

For the current investment of Dongfan, such a reward is enough to satisfy anyone.

At this time, the cotton has obviously bloomed, and the beans grown on a large scale are also green. In two months, the cotton will be harvested and the beans will be almost harvested.

There are still quite a lot of wastelands without crops, and many officials continue to cultivate these wastelands. Many places have been sprinkled with sesame seeds, which can drive away weeds more easily.

Walking on a well-connected road is already quite exciting.

After more than ten days of rest, Xu Zi first led the team to practice once, and then long-distance training in the training subjects was listed as a normal subject.

This is quite difficult and even makes the soldiers frightened, but it is only this kind of training that will have real results.

Then climbing mountain and cross-country, sprinting for a short distance, array battles, and various training subjects gradually became complete. At the end of May, Wu Weisan brought most of the new recruits from the battalion to the Dongfan. The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion had a weaker existence in Nan'an Town. In order to avoid trouble, the old soldiers who had left all the city to guard the defense were stationed in turn. There were thieves and bandits causing trouble, and in order to guard the other courtyard, most of the staff had moved to the Dongfan.

Wu Weisan handled Zhang Mingliang's affairs quite decisively and restored his status in Xu Zixian's heart. After arriving in the Dongfan, twelve soldiers from the eighteen battalions were on the island and six in Penghu. However, the navy soldiers also took turns to the Dongfan to train, which was not the only one.

If everything goes well, Xu Zi first plans to recruit ten battalions by the end of the year, including one cavalry battalion, two naval battalions and seven infantry battalions. A special military training department will be established at that time. Xu Zixian plans to ask Wu Weisan to take charge of the battalion and the deputy commander of the military capital. At that time, he can be transferred to the head of the military training department, responsible for leading a group of instructors to train new recruits.

Xu Zi had long discovered that some military officers were suitable for fighting on the battlefield, some were suitable for formations and then formations, some were suitable for climbing the city first, some were planning and then moving, some were violent and invading like fire, and some were Xu Rulin, of course, some were also heavily defended. When the enemy charges, their troops remained as strong as rocks.

Some generals or veterans are not good at fighting formations, but they are quite well-organized in training new recruits. Wu Weisan did a good job in Nan'an. Appointing him as the chief of the Military Training Department is considered to be the best of his strengths.
