The banquet for the dust of the Zhao Jiawei and the arrival of a hundred gunners was held in the newly built White Tiger Hall. This White Tiger Hall is the place where the meetings and discussions are gathered in the Xia military camp. The frames made of decades of pine, cypress and wood are buried deep in the soil. A half-foot-high soil is piled along the corner of the wall to prevent strong wind from falling. Then, four walls are built with thick wooden boards. The roof is a herringbone-shaped spire covered with thick birch bark to prevent heavy snow from being overwhelmed. In Sanyin Village, where there are ground nests and straw sheds, this meeting hall, which can accommodate thousands of people to feast, looks particularly majestic and spectacular. The people have a sense of awe for it, similar to the government government office.

Under the tall roof, the gunner centurion Liu Zhijian sat tall and narrowly, waiting for Zhao Xingde to arrive without looking sideways. The hundred gunners sat cross-legged behind the two centurions, and habitually formed a neat square formation. The artillery trained by Zhao Xingde with three disciplines was extremely well-behaved. Tang Qiyong, Chashen and other centurions who commanded infantry and cavalry loudly talked about the past since they set out to Liaodong, especially the battle against the Khitan Village several months ago. Hundreds of soldiers sat or stood, chatting and looking at the opposite side.

The soldiers were placed in the ten-person team, and the rare wild vegetable stew, fruit barbecue, and candied fruits from the Western Regions specialties. After the sea supplies arrived, the Eighth Battalion of Chengying became much more abundant. Although they were still frugal, they could occasionally eat meat. Tonight, the soldiers ate meat, and the people added an extra steamed bun.

The 100-man artillery team was trained by Zhao Xingde himself, and according to reason, it was the direct line of the lieutenant, but they followed the cannons and came with the sea boats. On the contrary, the other 700 infantry and cavalry soldiers followed the lieutenant Zhao to march through the desert and Gobi, sharing the joy and sorrow, and there was a distinction between coming first and then coming. Although the people and horses on both sides came from the same source, the happy banquet exuded a subtle atmosphere.

Except for more than a hundred soldiers who were whistling outside, the people in Sanyin Village stayed honestly in their own nests. Only a few who were trusted and flexible in their hands were fortunate to join the White Tiger Hall and serve the soldiers. The smell of meat and vegetables penetrated into their nostrils. Zhang Gouwa swallowed, but not only held a three-liter pot of wine jar with both hands and stood upright against the wall.

As more and more people came to Sanyinzhai, they gradually became different. Those who got closer to the soldiers of Xia Kingdom took on various responsibilities and held various authority in their hands, and felt that they were superior to others. However, if there were any problems, some of these soldiers, some of them greeted each other, and some ran away without waiting for hello, and even took the soldiers' clothes, shoes and socks back to wash.

This kind of service for people is not yet available. Zhang Gouwa is not greedy for anything else, but just wants to join the army to kill the Khitans. He was originally an honest and honest farmer, and his family was killed by the Khitans in the village. He took advantage of the Khitans' sleep and climbed into the dog hole. He cut his enemy's head with a sickle, fled into the mountains alone, and fell into the Sanyin Village. Because of this past event, he got the nickname of Zhang Scythe. A loud voice came from the front of the White Tiger Hall, "The Captain is here!" Hundreds of soldiers stood up together, and the hall became silent. Zhang Gouwa was shocked, his legs were closed, and he stood up straight according to what he had observed these days, looking towards the door with a high spirit.

A moment later, Zhao Xingde, Jin Changtai and Li Sihai appeared at the door together. "Salute!" Hundreds of soldiers saluted together, and Zhao Xingde smiled and returned the military salute. "The ceremony was over!" The atmosphere in the hall was restored to the lively and peaceful atmosphere.

Zhao Xingde has always been very kind to his subordinates. He smiled and looked left and right. From the centurion to the tenth commander, to ordinary soldiers, he not only could name each person, but also understood their temperament and family affairs. He smiled at his side and said, "I didn't even have a frame a few months ago, but now I have built such a magnificent hall, which is all for the sake of Jin Sima." Jin Changtai gave in moderation: "It's all built according to the drawings, and the people work hard to build it. I'm just planning and supervision." Zhao Xingde nodded with a smile, and his eyes turned to Gao Su and Liu Zhijian who were sitting on the left side of the hall, and walked over quickly.

Seeing the lieutenant coming, the gunners who had been away for a long time were a little excited. They put down their cups and plates and stood up. Those who thought they were familiar with Zhao Xingde, such as "Master Zhao." "Captain." and "Captain". They all heard the feelings of superiors and subordinates trained by the three rules. At this time, many people still remembered the nickname of the "evil ghost".

Liu Zhijian and Gao Su stood side by side. Before joining the artillery battalion, they were both experienced centurions. The two were comparable in knowledge and were knowledgeable about observing the sky and mapping geometry, so they entered the artillery battalion. Gao Su was slightly fat, but Liu Zhijian was thin, but they had similar temperaments. After getting along on the sea boat for several months, they had become friends. Although they admired Zhao Xingde's character and ability, their eyes were much calmer than ordinary soldiers.

Zhao Xingde smiled and nodded to the soldiers who were greeting each other, came to the two centurions, stood in a deep voice, "The sea road is bumpy and dangerous, brothers have worked hard," Gao Su bowed and said, "The captain misappropriated." Liu Zhijian smiled and said, "It's time to go there."

Zhao Xingde nodded and smiled, "I heard that you have practiced several test shots at sea, which almost shocked the other people's sea boats." Li Sihai smiled bitterly behind him, and lowered his voice, "I also wrote to the Guardian Mansion for this. In the future, the sea boats that are equipped with artillery must be made more solid. Good wood in the south is too expensive, and it is still a good oak from Liaodong. Anyway, you have so many people here. If the Ordnance Department wants to suppress the price randomly, don't pay attention to them."

As the soldiers answered in a mess, Li Sihai's voice could only be heard by Zhao Xingde and Jin Changtai. Gao Su and Liu Zhijian saw him whispering to Zhao's Captain Zhao, they only said that this Captain Li had a strange personality and the military discipline of the Artillery Hundreds of Man can be said to be the best in the entire army, and they were not worried that he would have anything strange to him.

After Zhao Xingde exchanged greetings here for a while, he sat cross-legged in the main seat. When the Eighth Battalion was so neat, Li Sihai observed the various 100-man teams with great interest. Jin Changtai looked to the side, and Zhang Gouwa hurriedly walked over to pour wine for the three adults. In order to prevent the morale of the army, it was strictly forbidden to bring prostitutes and maids in the military camp, so those who were busy pouring wine and serving dishes were all Ding Zhuang selected by the people.

Seeing that the man who poured the wine was a man, Zhao Xingde frowned slightly. Zhang Gouwa filled the wine one by one and was about to retreat aside. Zhao Xingde reached out and called him, and asked, "What's your name?" Zhang Gouwa was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The villain's surname is Zhang, and the villagers all called me Zhang Yandao." He originally had a nickname of Gouwa, but at this time he was afraid that Shangguan would look down on it, so he claimed Zhang Yandao's nickname, which was a small scheming.

Zhao Xingde smiled and said to Jin Changtai beside him: "This name is quite interesting."

Jin Changtai smiled and said, "This man killed the Khitan village tyrant with a sickle, so he got this name." Because of Zhang Gouwa's experience, Jin Changtai had some impression of him among the tens of thousands of people. He roughly guessed Zhang Gouwa's heart, so he did not say his real name.

Many ordinary people in this world don’t have serious names, so Zhao Xingde didn’t care. He held the wine glass and asked with a smile: “Zhang Yandao, how much is your reward for doing things here?”

Zhang Yandao didn't know the depth and waved his hand and said, "How dare the villain ask for rewards for the military man?" He looked at Zhao Xingde with sincere eyes, and was surprised and nervous inside. "The opportunity is rare, why don't you ask me to join the army?" "You only answer when you ask questions, but you can't ask for your kindness. You annoyed your lord, and you can't tell you out." When he was in a state of conflict, his eyebrows were twisted into a ball of tricks, his face was gloomy and he couldn't say anything else for a while.

Zhao Xingde stopped drinking the cup and sighed in a low voice: "Our court rule is not allowed to serve Yinhu and Sima Jin for no reason. I think it is better to give these people fair rewards."

A centurion next to him said, "These Liaodong Han people are not serious and respectful households. It seems that this kind of law can be cited here." In the Xia Kingdom, the people had the support of the people, and they were also influenced by the people, and knew what their own interests were. In the mountain-high emperor, the people of the Liaodong Han people only regarded the soldiers as officials. Although Jin Changtai selected a group of civilian protection officials, these civilian protection officials were not familiar with the rules of the Xia Kingdom. Who could say that? Speaking of which, they could be favored by the soldiers and selected them to do something, and they were a little arrogant when they returned to the people. The soldiers were happy to be served. In just a few months, they became accustomed to the things that made the people.

Zhao Xingde paused the wine glass on the ground and said in a deep voice: "If our dynasty wants to unify the world, if we cannot treat the people of the world well and treat the people of Longyou in Guanzhong, what is the difference between them and the Khitans?" He said this very strongly, and the centurion also tactfully refused to speak. The captain has always been generous and generous. His subordinates argued with him, and he did not think it was offended. He did not take revenge afterwards. However, when encountering the problems he insisted on, his temper was indeed a bit stinky and hard.

Jin Changtai enlightened and said, "Person Zhao, this is my negligence. In the future, we should clearly order all the troops to act according to the rules of the country and not to use the people at will." At this time, the soldiers around us looked over. Zhang Gouwa realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and he thought he was not dealing with it. The stagnant was even more nervous.
