Chapter 4 I have no desire for promotion, the most important thing is to stay alive.
The Qin Dynasty’s military merit system was extremely strict.
In addition to the soldiers supervising each other in the army, there are also military merit officers who are specifically responsible for supervising military merit. If anyone dares to falsely claim military merit or seize military merit, they will be reported directly to the King of Qin and severely punished.
When the military merit system was first introduced, perhaps some powerful people might have dared to take the risk, but now no one dares to do so.
"Baoqiu was killed by a soldier from your logistics army?"
Wang Ben standing by was surprised.
"Replying to General Wang, this is true."
"Baoqiu had been taking off his armor and pretending to be dead among the dead bodies. When my logistics soldiers approached, he suddenly attacked and killed two people. Fortunately, the soldier from my logistics battalion killed him." Junhou replied immediately.
"Baoqiu, you died at the hands of a logistics soldier of my Great Qin. It was really unjust for you to die."
Looking at Baoqiu, whose eyes were wide open and unwilling to close, Wang Ben sighed.
Logistics soldiers! They are not combat soldiers, but are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded.
It is indeed a shame for a Korean general to die at the hands of logistics soldiers.
Wang Jian glanced at Baoqiu and didn't care much.
"Take him away and bury him with the Han soldiers."
"As for the logistics soldier who killed Baoqiu, he will be promoted according to the military merit system."
"The rank is promoted three levels, and the nobility is promoted one level."
Wang Jian said this and turned around and returned to the camp.
For him, a general, this was a trivial matter. It was just that a Baoqiu was unlucky and died at the hands of a logistics soldier, while this logistics soldier was lucky.
"promise."
The general immediately took the order and withdrew.
"The battle report and casualties have been almost counted, right?" Wang Jian asked.
"The statistics have been compiled and the report will be sent to Xianyang today," Wang Ben replied.
"It is quite interesting that General Baoqiu was killed by our army's logistics soldiers and the case was reported to the emperor." Wang Jian said with a smile.
Wang Ben nodded immediately: "Yes."
"That's right."
"Where is that girl Yan'er?" Wang Jian suddenly asked.
Wang Ben was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say.
"kindness?"
Wang Jian frowned and shouted, "Speak!"
"She went to Yangcheng with Li Teng." Wang Ben said helplessly.
"Why don't you keep an eye on her?" Wang Jian was a little angry.
"father."
"Don't you know what kind of personality Yan'er has? You shouldn't have agreed to let her join the army this time." Wang Ben complained.
Upon hearing this.
Wang Jian glared, feeling quite helpless.
"Do you think I want to take her with me? She has been pestering me ever since she heard the news of the expedition." Wang Jian said.
"Don't worry, Dad."
"She is protected by your five hundred personal guards, and is also under the care of General Li Teng. She will be fine." Wang Ben said with a smile.
"That's all."
"Let her go and have fun. When we get back this time, we'll marry her off and let her in-laws take care of her." Wang Jian said angrily.
Wang Ben smiled and said, "Dad, are you willing to do that? Besides, everyone in Xianyang knows Yan'er's personality. Who can be favored by her?"
…
late at night!
All the bodies on the border battlefield have been cleared.
Thousands of logistics troops also returned to the military camp to rest.
Outside the tent.
It was pitch black.
Wei Quan and Zhao Feng were sitting next to a small campfire with a piece of meat roasting on it.
"Zhao boy."
Wei Quan spoke.
"What for?" Zhao Feng replied.
"Aren't you anxious at all?" Wei Quan asked.
"What's the hurry?" Zhao Feng was a little puzzled.
"You have done a great deed by killing that violent man today. This deed can earn you a promotion of three ranks and a title."
"Why are you so calm?" Wei Quan asked in surprise.
"I don't have such a strong desire for promotion." Zhao Feng said honestly.
Hearing this.
In the dark night, Wei Quan's expression was very surprised.
"Don't you know that if you get promoted, your annual salary can be higher, and if you are granted a title, you can get land?" Wei Quan said.
"I know." Zhao Feng replied with a smile: "But what good is a promotion? I will be home after serving for two years anyway. I have a mother and a sister at home. They are waiting for me to go back and take care of them. I can't die on the battlefield."
"You are really different." Wei Quan sighed.
"It's not that I'm different from others, I'm just more afraid of death and cherish my life."
"No matter how high your position is, it is better to be alive."
"Hundred Generals."
"How long have you been in the army?" Zhao Feng asked.
In the military.
Zhao Feng did not want to offend anyone. He always treated everyone with a smile and sincerity, and there were not too many twists and turns in the army. However, the only person he was truly on good terms with was Wei Quan.
"I was drafted into the army when I was fifteen, so it's been about eight years."
"If possible, I hope to stay here forever so that I can get enough annual salary to support my family."
"It's not easy to live in this world nowadays. If it weren't for my annual salary, my family would have starved to death long ago." Wei Quan said slowly.
To this.
Zhao Feng did not reply.
In this era.
There is not enough food for everyone, let alone enough for everyone to eat.
It was very common for people to starve to death, especially in winter, when countless people died of freezing and starvation.
This is also unsolvable.
When Zhao Feng was in his hometown, his family had one and a half acres of land, which was enough for his family of three. Moreover, Zhao Feng had a good physique, so he could gain a lot by hunting in the mountains. He was also proficient in various hunting traps of later generations, and gained even more. He usually exchanged some with his fellow villagers. As long as he did not covet anything, his life was worry-free.
"Little Zhao." Wei Quan spoke again.
"General, you speak." Zhao Feng replied.
"Don't call me General Bai all the time. I'm nearly ten years older than you. Just call me Brother Wei." Wei Quan said with a smile.
"Brother Wei." Zhao Feng immediately shouted with a smile.
"Yeah." Wei Quan agreed with peace of mind.
Then he sat down close to Zhao Feng.
"I appreciate your calling me big brother and your life-saving grace. I will teach you something."
"Do you want to listen?" Wei Quan looked serious.
"Brother Wei, just talk. I'm listening." Zhao Feng nodded immediately.
"I saw through that sword today."
"You killed Baoqiu accurately with one sword from a distance of ten feet. You are really capable."
"With your skills, you are better than those real warriors."
"During the training in the recruit camp, you hid your abilities, otherwise how could you be assigned to the logistics department?" Wei Quan said as if he saw through Zhao Feng.
"Ha ha."
"No way, I don't want to die in battle."
"Logistics soldiers don't have to go to the battlefield head-on and risk their lives. I have come to the right place." Zhao Feng neither admitted nor denied it.
Recruitment camp!
Zhao Feng was indeed hiding his talents. If he had performed outstandingly, he would have been assigned to the main combat battalion and become an elite soldier. So during training, if he had to use ten points of effort, Zhao Feng would use five points, and finally succeeded in staying in the logistics army.
"Zhao boy."
"As someone who has been oppressed by the powerful."
"I want to tell you something..."
