The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 240 Rewards based on merit
In the Defense Mansion, the lights were brightly lit, cups and glasses were being exchanged, and it was very lively.

The tall and solid defensive palace is located in the center of the mighty fort, and the Tatar trebuchets cannot hit it from any direction, so it is still very intact.

At this time, Xiao Shao held a banquet in the spacious meeting hall and warmly entertained Zheng Feng and his dozen generals.

Although food was scarce after the city was besieged, Xiao Shao still tried his best to prepare a sumptuous banquet. He killed the last pig in the fort and prepared a banquet with wine and meat.

Basically all the officials above the general banner of Weiwu Fort were present, except for a few officials like Wu Liang who fled the battle and fought passively. They were now waiting anxiously at home for Xiao Shao's punishment.

Xiao Shao was not an eclectic person to begin with. Wei Hu and Lu Zhan were invited to serve as subordinates even though they did not have official positions because of their bravery in battle.

After the banquet started, Xiao Shao saw that the night was getting dark outside the meeting hall, the cold wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier.

He couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when he thought that the soldiers who rescued Fort Weiwei today were stationed outside the fort in the snow. He suggested to Zheng Feng, "General Zheng, it's so cold outside and there's heavy snow. Why don't we invite people outside the fort?" Come and live in the fort. Although there are not enough houses in the fort, there are still enough rooms for one or two thousand people to be stationed on the horse road around the city. In addition, the subordinates have prepared a rest room for you and these generals. The conditions are simple. Please make do with it.”

General Zheng shook his head indifferently and declined Xiao Shao's kindness, "We are all people who have been fighting in the field all year round. We have been stationed in much worse environments than now. Only by adapting to difficult environments can we maintain our unyielding fighting spirit. . How can we accomplish anything if we just pursue comfort and enjoyment? Let’s not talk about them. After the banquet is over, we will go back to live in a tent outside the city.”

Xiao Shao was very impressed when he heard this and raised his wine glass, "This is my first glass of wine, to General Zheng, help us repel the enemy this time!"

When he was half drunk, Zheng Feng was naturally curious about the secret of Weiwu Fort's ability to hold on to the castle. When he learned that all the soldiers and civilians of Xiao Ling took turns to fight, especially the female soldiers who fought bravely, and finally became the main force in defending the city. , couldn’t help but praise him greatly.

Lu Zhan looked at General Zheng, this general was different!

Zheng Feng couldn't help but give the young man another high look, "Without your calm and composed formation, the defense of Mighty Fort would not be as solid as a rock." After thinking about it, he asked again: "By the way, you said Who trained the Bird Gun Team?”

After hearing these words, everyone looked sad and slowly poured the wine in their glasses on the ground.

Xiao Shao said modestly, "Wherever it goes, it is mainly due to the unity of the entire army and the people and their tenacious resistance."

Zheng Feng shook his head, "What I did today is nothing. We all raise our glasses to pay tribute to the soldiers who tenaciously resisted the enemy, especially those who died for their country."

He said loudly, "Brother Xiao, when I get back, I will make suggestions to the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, express your merits, and promote your method of mobilizing the strength of the entire fort and taking turns to defend in all military forts.

Xiao Shao smiled and recounted in detail how Lu Zhan trained a gunman and gave the Tatars an unexpected beating during defense.

At this time, Lu Zhan and Wei Hu were sitting at the bottom table. When they heard their names being called, they raised their heads in shock, only to see Xiao Shao smiling at him and saying, "Lu Zhan, why don't you come over and pay homage to Zheng General."

General Zheng saw that Lu Zhan was tall and handsome, with a bright and upright look on his brows. He also saw that Lu Zhan was highly skilled in martial arts. He was a talent lover and couldn't help but admire him very much. "I didn't expect you have such talents here. None of our soldiers on the border know how to use firecrackers. Because there have been accidents with explosive barrels in the past, they are all afraid. To be honest, I didn't believe in this thing before. , but this time I saw that the firearms team sent by the Beijing Shenji Battalion is extremely powerful. If used properly, the guns are much more powerful than our swords and spears. "

He looked at Lu Zhan and suddenly thought, "I am also planning to train a musketry team. I wonder if you would be willing to serve in our army?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting hall that was noisy just now fell silent. The soldiers looked at General Zheng and Lu Zhan in surprise with different expressions.

They all know that General Zheng has an elite army with great military exploits. As long as he dares to fight hard and enter his army, he will have many more chances of promotion than in an ordinary military fort. Therefore, everyone in the border fort aspires to join his army. In the army.

However, General Zheng was very strict in the selection of soldiers, and it was difficult for ordinary people to fall in his eyes. At this time, some of them were sincerely envious, and some were maliciously jealous.

Lu Zhan thought for a while and smiled and said, "Thank you General Zheng for your kindness. A good man should fight on the battlefield and serve the country. It's just that I just arrived here not long ago, and I have an old mother and a widowed sister-in-law at home. I have less than three months left. I still want to stay in Mighty Fort to take care of my little niece who is waiting to be fed. I ask General Zheng for your forgiveness."

After talking, Zheng Feng remained silent, and Xiao Shao also looked a little embarrassed. First, he didn't know what to say.

General Zheng laughed and said, "If you don't want to go with me, then just stay here. But if you decide one day to come and join me, I won't refuse anyone who comes!"
Lu Zhan thanked General Zheng and sat down again. General Zheng thought again, "You just said, who was the woman who took the blunderbuss and injured Mandulu today?"

At the same time, behind the defense house, because the Tatars retreated and the crisis was resolved, the room was also happy.

Jiang Shiyi found the last piece of bacon, cooked a large pot of rice, and fried a few vegetables to prepare for a good meal!
Lu Xiang lit the fire while Zhang helped.

The whole family is alive! It’s all still there, which is better than anything else!
Xie Zhaoyu hugged Panpan and kissed her face from time to time, "Panpan, mother won the battle, you know? We don't have to be afraid of anything in the future. My Panpan will grow up safely, right?" "

Panpan opened her little mouth, stretched out her two little hands, and touched Xie Zhaoyu's face. Xie Zhaoyu was really afraid that he would not be able to see the child again, and her eyes were blurry for a while, so she hugged the child and kissed it again!
Huang Yuehua was also sitting on the side. She had taken Panpan for a few days, and she also liked the child very much. Huang Yuehua felt a sore nose when she thought of her own child.

Huang Yuehua is coming over to help cook! Mrs. Zhang quickly pushed her aside, "Go sit on the kang and warm yourself up. Don't run around all over the floor with your body like this!"

Huang Yuehua sat on the kang, feeling a little sorry that she was alone, so Mrs. Zhang asked her to come over and have dinner with her!
"Sister Yuehua, you are amazing today! I heard that you also killed a few Tatars, right?"

Jiang Shiyi wants to liven up the atmosphere!
"No, no!" Huang Yuehua waved his hands quickly, "Brother Wei Hu killed him for me!"

Those who were killed later were all killed by Wei Hu! At that time, she no longer had the strength to lift the knife, and Wei Hu had to protect her while killing the Tatar.

When Huang Yuehua said this, everyone laughed.
