56 He is a dragon that prostrates on the ground

(Today's chapter is presented, ladies and gentlemen, please collect and subscribe, Xiaoyun thank you for your support in advance, thank you!! )

Groups of soldiers lined up neatly on the school grounds, all dressed in neat armor, and the pikemen held spears in their hands and waist knives pinned to their waists, and lined up for stabbing training.

The sword and shield soldiers held swords in one hand and shields in the other, neatly arranged together, conducting training in blocking and chopping, and there were archers and bird gunners in the back, all of them were in shooting training, and they looked majestic.

The officers, on the other hand, were all dressed in armor, and for the first time wore iron helmets, which were also obtained from the officers and soldiers in this war.

All the armor captured from the officers and soldiers was fully equipped by Li Zixiao to his subordinates, which raised the personal defense ability of the elite soldiers and generals to a new level.

After hundreds of people lined up, although most of them were still not wearing armor, their momentum was much more powerful.

Standing neatly in the sky, there are a lot of flags between the spears of the forest, and these flags are displayed in the wind, which makes the phalanx under Li Zixiao much more majestic, without the appearance of a rabble, this is completely an elite team!

At the back of the battle team, there are 500 new recruits, these people have just been recruited into the army, and they have not yet undergone systematic training, and the neatness of this queue is naturally far inferior to the soldiers in front.

But they are all very excited, and it is the first time they have seen a pole like White Snake Village in their lives.

From the moment they entered the cottage, everything here made them feel new, everyone was in order, and there was no chaos at all.

Everyone is busy with their own things, what to do and what to do, the soldiers on the school field are under the leadership of their respective officers, shouting what to shake the heavens, and from time to time someone will be pulled out to beat the military stick because the training is not in place.

The soldiers who had been beaten, after being beaten, stood up and shouted instructions and returned to the team, as if they were fine, and there was no dissatisfaction with them.

Even those soldiers who have not practiced on the school field are nervously busy with the things at hand, and no one has the leisure to get together and chat and chat.

There was an orderly scene everywhere in the cottage, which surprised these newly recruited recruits one by one, and their hearts were much more settled.

Li Zixiao adheres to the principle of not raising hungry soldiers, as long as those who join the army, the food supply will be guaranteed to be sufficient, which has become the rule of White Snake Village.

Since Li Zixiao just crossed over, he has been implementing this rule, as the saying goes, 'The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers', but unfortunately many of the people sent by the imperial court are really hungry soldiers.

The reason why the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and many rebels were not effective was due to various other reasons, and more importantly, they were deducted from their salaries by officials at all levels.

It makes the money and food that really goes to the soldiers pitiful, so that the soldiers are always in a state of semi-starvation, and if such soldiers can still be trained to become strong soldiers, it will be hell.

So Li Zixiao has done a good job in this regard, he has never been stingy in providing food for his subordinates, and he doesn't dare to say that he let his subordinates eat meat every meal, but at least once every three or five times, he will see meat and give his subordinates a tooth sacrifice.

But the biscuit food can make everyone full, and as soon as the recruits entered the village, they really felt the benefits of joining the White Snake Village.

They were soon taken to a canteen, where they had a full meal, and there was meat, and the young men were so full that their mental outlook changed a lot, and their spirits became much fuller.

After those recruits were assigned to the recruit camp, Li Zixiao specially assigned dozens of veterans to take this group of recruits and was responsible for their daily training and life management, just like the instructors of the Republic in later generations.

After these recruits joined the cottage for another week, after a week of rigorous training, these recruits were reborn one by one.

They all have a clear eye no matter whether they are walking or standing, and at the same time, the food of the cottage has also improved their physical weakness caused by long-term hunger, and their faces are ruddy and they look full of energy.

With the increasing number of cottages, Li Zixiao has ordered the scale of the cottage to be doubled during this time, but due to the limitations of the terrain, it is difficult for the White Snake Village to continue to expand.

More than 1,000 people live in the White Snake Village, which seems a little crowded, which makes Li Zixiao have to pick up the idea of setting up a second cottage last winter.

Last winter, he failed to defend the White Tiger Village because of the lack of troops in his hands, and at this time he had sufficient strength in his hands, which fully gave him the ability to rebuild the White Tiger Village.

At the same time, it is also very necessary for Li Zixiao to build another village at this time, the White Snake Village can no longer accommodate more personnel, and he needs a new village to share the excess soldiers.

And the White Tiger Village is still the first choice that Li Zixiao thought of, first of all, the distance between the White Tiger Village and the White Snake Village is moderate, it only takes an hour to go back and forth, and the terrain is dangerous, otherwise Scarface would not have chosen to build a village there.

As for the manpower to build the new cottage, Li Zixiao does not need to worry at all, the displaced people outside the mountain pass are the best laborers, and he believes that as long as their cottage promises to provide three full meals a day, those displaced people outside will frantically compete for this opportunity.

Li Zixiao told his henchmen about this idea, and also got their support, with their strength at this time, it is necessary to build a village.

After the construction of the new village, not only can the population pressure of the white snake village be shared, but at the same time, the two cottages can form a corner of each other in wartime, and they can support each other.

However, Li Zixiao will not be able to personally preside over the construction of the new cottage, because he is about to launch his expansion plan, and he will be very busy in the next period of time, and it is estimated that he will have to fight a lot of battles.

Originally, Li Zixiao thought that the candidate to preside over the construction of the new cottage was Dong Zhuang, but Dong Zhuang, the logistics officer of the cottage, would also go out with the army at that time and be responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the army.

There was no way, Li Zixiao could only find someone else to be responsible for the construction of the new cottage, and finally chose to choose, such an important task was handed over to outsiders, he really didn't feel at ease, so he had to bother the old master Wei.

At this time, Li Zixiao felt more urgently that there was a shortage of talents in his hands!

There are only more than 1,000 horses under him, and he has constant affairs every day, but fortunately, at this time, Li Zixiao still has Qian Guangyuan by his side to deal with the cottage chores for him.

Now what Li Zixiao lacks most is those literate and hyphenated officials, who are recruiting, and finally there are seven or eight literate young people, all of whom were handed over by Li Zixiao to Qian Guangyuan to lead.

At the same time, Li Zixiao also personally drew a design plan for the reconstruction of the White Tiger Village, and the new cottage was introduced into the more famous fortress-style design in later generations, once the construction is completed, it will greatly strengthen the defense capability of the cottage.

He handed over the task of building the new cottage to Mr. Wei, and he handed over the daily affairs of the cottage to Qian Guangyuan.

And half a month after Li Zixiao defeated the officers and soldiers, Li Zixiao was ready to lead his soldiers to fight again, and this time he went to those big families in Zhuangbao.

At this time, winter has passed, spring is coming, and what is the most important thing in spring, the plan of the year lies in spring, and the most important thing in spring is, of course, spring ploughing.

At this time, there is less than a month before spring ploughing, and Li Zixiao plans to clean up all the big households in Yongcheng County before the official arrival of spring ploughing.

When the time comes, he will bring all the land in Yongcheng County under the jurisdiction of their White Snake Village, and then take seeds, plough cattle, etc. from those landlords and old wealth, and rent them to the people for a fee.

Let the people of Yongcheng County successfully complete this year's spring ploughing, and he wants to make Yongcheng County the first base under his command, and eliminating those big households is the most important first step.

Doodoo ......

Early in the morning, just after the morning exercise, not long after breakfast, there was a rapid trumpet sound in the cottage, which was the order for the cottage to gather urgently.

When they heard the sound of the assembly call, a group of soldiers and recruits, under the leadership of their respective officers, rushed to the school field, and soon lined up the phalanx, waiting for Li Zixiao's arrival one by one.

In front of the school field, a tall flagpole was erected, and the big flag with the word "Li" was hung high, and with the mountain wind hunting, everyone felt a kind of solemnity, and silently looked at their "Li" word flag.

Li Zixiao has never dared to raise the banner of righteousness at this time, just to keep a low profile, but because he started in Mangdang Mountain, this is the place where the legendary Han Gaozu Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising.

And Li Zixiao's cottage is named White Snake Village, and with Li Zixiao's porridge to the homeless, the surrounding homeless people are grateful to Li Zixiao.

So some rumors about Li Zixiao spread, some people said that Li Zixiao was the white snake that was killed by Han Gaozu back then, and re-manifested in the world, that is, Li Zixiao is a goblin.

This made Li Zixiao feel angry for a while, why did Lao Tzu become a snake spirit, and there are also rumors that Li Zixiao is a white dragon from the sky descending to the mortal world to save the people of Dawn from fire and water, but there are more people who support this statement.

After all, in ancient times, people regarded snakes as dragons on the ground, and turning snakes into dragons became dragons in the sky, and at that time it was not easy for the people to see.

So, because of these rumors, the nearby homeless people and people all privately called Li Zixiao 'Little White Dragon', after all, Li Zixiao was really young at this time.

And the team under Li Zixiao's natural command is also known as the 'White Dragon Army', and those big families in Zhuangbao prefer to call them 'White Snake Bandits', they don't dare to call Li Zixiao a dragon, that is a big rebellion.

But in the eyes of the people, the snake and the dragon are actually the same, the snake is the dragon that crawls on the ground, if one day the wind and clouds meet, maybe it will ********, the wind and rain will turn into a dragon, and then it will become a dragon that takes off for nine days.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people were still very ignorant, and the theory of gods and ghosts was even more popular, especially in this kind of disaster and troubled times, people preferred this kind of ghost and god legends, hoping that the heavens could send down the gods and save them from the sea of suffering.

As people deliberately spread this rumor to the surrounding villages and towns, the saying that Li Zixiao was a white dragon descending to save the people gradually spread rapidly in Yongcheng County.

And this person who deliberately added fuel to the fire was Qian Guangyuan, he was very happy that the people around him would deify Li Zixiao, so that the people around him would be more in awe of them, and it would also be conducive to Li Zixiao's next series of actions.

When Qian Guangyuan first heard these rumors, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said in public at that time: "The big boss is the white dragon descending to earth, he is a white dragon crawling on the ground, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky." ”

Li Zixiao originally scoffed at this kind of myth and ghost rumors, he believed in science more, but when he thought of his own crossing, he couldn't help but shake his belief a little.

However, in the end, Li Zixiao still didn't stop Qian Guangyuan's approach, after all, it was indeed beneficial for them to let themselves have such a layer of divine ring.

However, even if this kind of rumor spreads, the surrounding people are more in awe of Li Zixiao, but it will not scare those big families in the village to take the initiative to open the door of the village and let them in.

If you want to defeat these big families, you have to rely on the knives, guns, and cannons in your hands, Li Zixiao himself was not blinded by these rumors, he was very sober.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers and recruits gathered in the whole village saw Li Zixiao wearing a set of delicate iron armor and riding a jujube red war horse, and slowly walked to the front of the team.

Behind him were two flag-bearers on horseback, one holding a large flag with the character 'Li', and the other holding a white dragon embroidered with a white dragon flying among the clouds, calling for wind and rain, and dancing with teeth and claws.

This banner was suggested by Qian Guangyuan to Li Zixiao, and they should make good use of this rumor, and deifying Li Zixiao can not only make those Li people fear them, but also make their soldiers respect Li Zixiao even more.

When the time comes, Li Zixiao will be the 'god' in the minds of these cottage soldiers, taking him as their own faith, they will fight for him, die for him, have no regrets, and go forward and succeed, this is the power of faith.

Li Zixiao grabbed the reins in front of the neat team, and as soon as he flicked the horse's head, the war horse turned around, just in time for him to face all his subordinates.

After Li Zixiao's continuous conquest and tempering since this winter, the military temperament on his body has become much more obvious, and the lines on his face have become more rigid.

The short beard he deliberately grew made him look more calm and majestic, and his eyes were also very sharp.

In addition, he wore iron armor and rode on the back of his war horse, which looked majestic, so that those subordinates below saw it with fanatical admiration.

He simply stood towards it, and naturally attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him with eager eyes, waiting for his words.

Li Zixiao was very satisfied with his appearance today, riding on a war horse to give a lecture to his subordinates, it felt really good, and he could make his subordinates really feel his majesty.

When Li Zixiao glanced at the team of more than 1,000 people in front of him, looking at the neatly arranged team, Li Zixiao was very satisfied, and looking at the pair of adoring eyes below, he was in a very comfortable mood.

Everyone below was firmly attracted by his appearance like this, and Li Zixiao, who was riding on a dog-headed horse, looked really good.

And many people still have a fanatical admiration in their eyes, obviously in their minds, he Li Zixiao has become their idol.

At this time, Li Zixiao couldn't help but feel in advance the kind of fanatical worship that the Führer of Nathan-Pure Germany received during World War II.

It turns out that being worshiped by so many people, the feeling of admiration is like this, it's really good, full of intoxication, no wonder so many people in the world like power, power is really a terrible poison.
