Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 115 Different Painting Styles, Be Cautious

With more hands, it is a breeze to fill the ice well.Xue Lang and Her Royal Highness are working together to make a living, and they have to wait for the ice well to be built, and then just get ice cubes out.After someone took over, he put aside the ice storage business, and only told Zhuang Dahai that the meat that could not be eaten that day could be stored in the ice well.

After the farm's meat gradually caught up, Xue Lang became free and only needed to visit the farm on a regular basis. After that, he often went to the sweet potato and cotton fields to care about the growth.

By the end of April, the soldiers in the elite barracks had changed somewhat.Her Royal Highness is not dominated by cavalry like most elite soldiers in ancient times. This is a troop mainly composed of Mo Dao soldiers and crossbowmen.

After all, this is an army trained to guard the pass, and in the early days it can only focus on defending the city.Whether or not cavalry will be equipped in the future, with the style of Her Royal Highness, I probably should have considered it, but now the training time is short, so naturally the focus is on defense.

The first day of May is an auspicious day for everything!

The day before, Her Royal Highness the Princess issued a notice that today the elite battalion will be officially awarded the military name and military flag. From then on, this army will be formally formed.

The time when the flag is presented is the auspicious time revealed by divination.In ancient times, people paid attention to these things, and no one could be late. If they dared to be late for such a ceremony, it would be courting their own death.

When Xue Lang got up early in the morning, he only dared to eat a little noodles to pad his stomach, didn't drink much water, and didn't dare to eat too much food. It was the first time he participated in such a ceremony, and he didn't know how long it would take.

I just remember that when participating in ancient ceremonies, it seems that there is no such benefit as going to the toilet halfway.Clothes must be neat and tidy, and the toilet cannot be used, so I would rather be hungry than full.After eating good food and going to the toilet, with the help of He Xiang, he put on armor and military helmet, and took a carriage to attend the ceremony.

Jiang Lin had assumed the position of captain in the Princess Army and served as Xue Lang's guard, so he would naturally participate in such an occasion.Yesterday, Her Royal Highness the Princess sent someone to deliver his armor and armor in advance.He also brought him a big horse.

Jiang Lin knew how to ride a horse. When he got the horse yesterday, he looked so happy that it was indescribable.As soon as I got the horse, I went to brush and feed the horse by myself. Fortunately, it was a rather docile horse, and I didn't kick him.

Today's ceremony, the officials under Her Royal Highness's command, regardless of whether they are civil or military, must participate. The civil officials all wear armor and military helmets outside the round collar robes.

When Xue Lang arrived, Her Highness the Princess hadn't come yet, but most of the officials had already arrived.There are sergeants to lead the past on the high platform in front of them, standing on the left and right, standing according to rank.However, Xue Lang was led to the military officer's side. Suddenly, Xue Lang asked the sergeant who was leading the way: "Am I attending today as a quartermaster?"

The sergeant replied respectfully: "This is the general's special order. After the Quartermaster Xue arrives, he will be on duty as a military officer."

Xue Lang nodded, and stood in the group of military officers with peace of mind.Jiang Lin stood behind him, motionless like a statue.

The defenders of Weizeguan belong to the standing army and the frontier army in the military system. The highest officer is Princess Pingyang, whose rank is general.

In addition to the border guards, Weizeguan also has a government soldier called Zhechong Mansion. The chief officer is Captain Zhechong, who is also served by Her Royal Highness.The Zhechong mansion of Weizeguan is only a low-scale one, and it is mainly used to assist the defenders on the border.

Among this group of military officers, Xue Lang is relatively familiar with Ma Sanbao, General Xiong Lang, and Yi Canjun, and the rest are just casual acquaintances, friends who meet and say hello.After all, Xue Lang is generally a civil official, and civil and military are not related, so naturally he doesn't fight much.

General Xiong Lang saw Xue Lang, smiled and cupped his hands, and said: "It seems that Xue Dalang, the quartermaster, has done a good job. The general has lifted you out of the civil servants and put you in the military officer squad. When it comes time to discuss meritorious deeds, Dalang, don't forget to treat your guests."

It turned out that there was such a reason in it, no wonder he was brought to the position of military officer as a civil servant.Dare to show off his hero, Xue Lang thinks he understands!
Presenting the flag is a very serious matter. Everyone was very punctual and arrived early. The field was also full of troops. At about the same time, Princess Pingyang arrived in military uniform.

Behind Princess Pingyang, there are many flagpoles, each of which is different in color, style, embroidered patterns, and words.This Xue Lang didn't understand, he only knew that the generals leading the troops used five-color flags to indicate their directions.The flag is not allowed to be tilted or fallen. If the soldiers carrying the flagpole make the above mistakes, there is only one consequence, beheading!

There are all kinds of flags in the army, and they all have different meanings, and outsiders really don't understand.So, how do the time travelers who lead troops to fight and dominate the world after transmigrating?If the commander and the soldiers are completely two systems, how can he command?How to fight?If it all depends on the password... I can only say how loud it needs to be heard by all the troops!

The ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the military drum really excited the audience. Even when the loud messenger read out the documents, Xue Lang listened attentively. I just knew in my heart that if I let him preach it... it would be so suffocating that I might not be able to speak clearly.

However, he understood one thing. Her Royal Highness gave this army the name Bearskin!
Bear skin... don't have too many slots, okay?Her Royal Highness, such an educated person, how could he bestow such a bugle number, but the people in the Jingbing Battalion all looked excited and proud——

Bear skin...bear...Look at the military flag awarded by Her Majesty the Princess, embroidered with a very abstract monster in Xue Lang's view.Xue Lang suddenly realized that if it was a monster, it should not be bear skin, and the correct wording should be bear fur!
Xiong Wei, a ferocious beast, is often used as a metaphor for brave men or lions.No wonder the soldiers of the elite battalion looked proud.

Xue Lang secretly wiped his sweat, but luckily he didn't find anyone to complain about, otherwise, he shouldn't use the image of a wise man in the future. It seems that he should be careful about complaining in the future. It's embarrassing if he can't write well in classical Chinese. The matter of Pi is exposed again... The picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it.

Therefore, during the whole flag-presenting ceremony, Xue Lang actually acted as the onlookers, diverting his thoughts from time to time, and lost his mind, maybe it was the instinct of the painter. He had guessed the beasts embroidered on the flag for a long time. Unfortunately, the only thing that was sure in the end was a yellow flag embroidered with Suzaku or Phoenix, which was inferred because it was associated with Her Royal Highness.

Therefore, the ancient painting method is too freehand, and outsiders can't see it at all.In the future, when it comes to this aspect, we really need to be cautious.

"Xue Lang!"
