Chapter 88: Big Reward! The Youngest General in the Army! (Subscribe)
Seeing Zhao Feng step by step climbing up to the command platform, many soldiers in the army were very surprised.
I didn't expect Zhao Feng to be so young.
No one would have thought that so many great military achievements were achieved by Zhao Feng alone.
Under the watchful eyes of the public.
Zhao Feng climbed up the towering generals' platform and came in front of Wang Jian.
"I greet the General."
"Meet the King's Envoy."
Zhao Feng bowed.
"The King of Qin's edict!"
"Commander Zhao Feng, listen to my orders!"
Meng Yi did not hesitate and took out another royal edict and said loudly.
"Your servant Zhao Feng respectfully obeys the king's order." Zhao Feng said immediately.
"Royal edict!"
"When our Great Qin launched an attack on Han, many meritorious generals and men emerged during the attack."
"From the battle reports, I see that the only one who is the best among them is Zhao Feng."
"Since the logistics army served the country, it was born in adversity. It led the logistics army to fight against the elite of the Han army. It fought hard and never retreated. It showed that our Qin soldiers, whether in logistics or in the main battle, have the blood of Qin people. It is also because of men of blood like Zhao Feng that the plan of Baoyuan's surprise attack to cut off food supply was thwarted. I will remember it deeply."
"Zhao Feng is a brave man of Qin, a brave and courageous man, and a brave and courageous general."
"Zhao Feng's contribution is invaluable. He killed Bao Yuan, destroyed Han's capital, killed Han's prime minister, and captured Han's king."
"According to the military merit system of our Great Qin, you should be granted a generous reward."
"Grant Zhao Feng a promotion of two ranks, to the rank of Deputy General of the Qin Empire, commanding 50,000 troops, and assisting the commander in guarding Yingchuan."
"He was granted an advancement of four ranks in the title of Zuo Shuzhang, with an annual salary of 500 dan, and was granted 1,000 mu of good land in his native place, and was exempted from land tax for two years. All the unpaid annual salary was distributed to his family in the form of the title of Zuo Shuzhang."
That’s all.
Meng Yi's voice stopped.
It was obvious that the royal edict had been read out.
"King Qin, you have great courage."
When Zhao Feng heard the royal decree of reward, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
Although based on his military achievements, it seemed no surprise that Zhao Feng was awarded this title.
However, there are still many situations under the military merit system, especially for those above the rank of captain, where such military merit is extremely difficult to obtain.
Above the rank of duwei can be called a general.
Being called a general means a leap in status. Even if you no longer lead troops in the future, you can still get a good job in the local area with your status as a general.
And now Zhao Feng has been appointed as deputy general, a sixteen-year-old deputy general. Looking at the current Daqin, looking at the entire Shenzhou, I am afraid that no one has such an honor, and no one has such power at the age of sixteen.
and.
The tenth-level nobility, Zuo Shuzhang, can be inherited, and all the land can be passed on to one's descendants.
With such a title, one is truly a new noble.
The tenth level of nobility is a threshold.
Many people would find it difficult to cross this level throughout their entire lives, but Zhao Feng achieved it. As far as Zhao Feng knew, there were many generals in the army who were of eighth and ninth level titles and had not crossed the tenth level.
One can imagine the value of this Zuo Shuzhang.
"General Zhao, why don't you thank me and accept my order?"
Looking at the dazed and surprised Zhao Feng, Meng Yi smiled and reminded him.
He walked towards Zhao Feng and handed him the imperial edict. Zhao Feng came to his senses, bowed, and then held up the imperial edict with both hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
"General Zhao, please stand up."
Meng Yi smiled and helped Zhao Feng up.
At your leisure.
Meng Yi grabbed Zhao Feng's left arm with one hand and walked towards the edge of the reviewing platform.
Then, he raised Zhao Feng's hand high and said loudly: "From today on, General Zhao will be the youngest general in our Great Qin Army, and even the youngest general in the world. His bravery and achievements will be known throughout the world."
"The king has issued an order."
"General Zhao rose from the rear corps and demonstrated the bravery of the Qin soldiers. When he entered the battle camp, he fought bravely and fearlessly, and his achievements were the best in the entire army."
"General Zhao's promotion will be based on military merit. General Zhao's military achievements will be spread throughout the army as an incentive."
"So, General Zhao was promoted to general for less than a year after joining the army because of his military achievements."
"All the warriors of the Great Qin, regardless of their origin, can be promoted to higher positions and become the highest officials as long as they kill enemies for the country and make contributions to the country."
The voice fell.
It is still circulated throughout the army.
When everyone listened carefully.
On the training ground.
Every warrior's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and looking at Zhao Feng's figure was like seeing their own goal.
"Long live the Great Qin, long live the Great King."
"Great Qin for ten thousand years..."
The shouts of ten thousand years resounded through the sky and shook the void.
The might of the Qin army was fully displayed.
"Use me as a model for the entire army."
"As expected of the future Qin Shi Huang, he knows the role of slogans."
"I will inspire the entire army with my military exploits, which will make countless warriors fearless of life and death and fight for their own future."
"The Qin military merit system is powerful." Zhao Feng couldn't help but marvel at the Qin King's brilliant move.
If he were a superior, perhaps it would be the same.
Zhao Feng rose from the logistics army and had no identity or background. He joined the army as a commoner and reached such a position in less than a year. It was really necessary for him to be promoted and encouraged by the entire army.
After the shouting of the entire army gradually subsided.
Wang Jian stepped forward and said sternly, "Wang Ben."
"I am here." Wang Ben stood up immediately.
"The army will march back to Lantian." Wang Jian shouted immediately.
"I will obey your orders."
Wang Ben accepted the order immediately.
Then.
Wang Ben stood in front of the reviewing platform, drew his sword, and issued an order: "General Cao, General Zhang, withdraw your camp and return to Lantian."
"I will obey your orders."
The two lieutenants responded immediately.
Then.
The 100,000-strong army began to separate in an orderly manner and return to the Qin Lantian camp.
The army is marching out.
A huge amount of food and supplies are consumed every day, which consumes the national strength of the Qin Dynasty. Returning to the camp to garrison can also reduce the consumption of these food and supplies and stabilize the national strength.
Since ancient times.
Marching and fighting is a waste of national strength and a waste of money.
Fortunately, Qin had Shu to produce grain and the Guanzhong granary for supply, and it had also stored a lot of grain and weapons over the years. This was the national strength of Qin.
As Guanzhong was the main grain-producing area, Zheng State naturally made an indelible contribution. It is no wonder that the King of Qin valued Zheng State so much.
Even at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong was still considered a fertile land, and the princes fought for it.
"Zhao Feng."
After instructing Wang Ben to move the camp, Wang Jian walked up to Zhao Feng.
"Admiral."
Zhao Feng immediately clasped his fists and looked at Wang Jian.
"I will try my best to fight for your matter, but if I fail, don't blame me." Wang Jian said meaningfully.
"I won't blame the general no matter what." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"It's good that you understand. And don't act recklessly." Wang Jian stared at Zhao Feng and gave him another meaningful warning.
Only Wang Jian and Zhao Feng understood the implication of this.
"If the general can succeed, I will naturally obey him. If not, I will never sit idly by." Zhao Feng replied firmly.
If a man gives up his woman and is afraid of the so-called power.
Is that still a man?
Zhao Feng is not that kind of person.
Zhao Feng will definitely fight for what belongs to him, even if it means going against the royal authority.
Hearing what Zhao Feng said.
Wang Jian took a deep look, feeling worried but also relieved.
Perhaps it was because his daughter had a man who valued her so much that made him, as a father, somewhat relieved, but the worry made Wang Jian feel uneasy.
As a general and a powerful minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian had never felt so heavy-hearted.
Meng Yi, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between Wang Jian and Zhao Feng with a rather strange expression on his face. Although he was a little younger than Wang Ben, only in his twenties, and had never held a truly high position, he also had a certain weight in the court, after all, he was a member of the Meng family.
As soon as you hear what they say.
Meng Yi naturally felt that the relationship between Wang Jian and Zhao Feng was not ordinary.
Their conversation didn't seem to be between superiors and subordinates at all, but rather like a conversation between elders and juniors.
But thinking about the fact that Wang Jian had no connection with Zhao Feng before, Meng Yi was a little confused.
"That's all."
"Just wait for my news." Wang Jian shook his head and then looked at Meng Yi beside him.
"Do you know who this gentleman is?" Wang Jian asked Zhao Feng again.
“I don’t know.”
Zhao Feng glanced at Meng Yi. He indeed had an extraordinary temperament, but Zhao Feng was originally a commoner who had only reached his current position through military exploits. How could he know Meng Yi?
"This is Meng Yi, the second son of General Meng Wu of the Northern Frontier."
"I am appointed as the governor of Yingchuan County by the order of the king."
"From now on, County Magistrate Meng will govern Yingchuan County." Wang Jian introduced to Zhao Feng.
"Greetings to County Magistrate Meng." Zhao Feng immediately clasped his fists.
"General Zhao, you are welcome." Meng Yi smiled and immediately clasped his fists in return. "When I was in Xianyang, General Zhao's name had appeared in the court several times. I have always wanted to meet a military hero like General Zhao, and now my wish has come true."
"Mr. Meng is very polite."
"After all, I am just a warrior." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
The Qin Dynasty had a clear official system.
Civil officials are civil officials, and military generals are military generals. They have nothing to do with each other. Although Meng Yi is the county governor, he is not Zhao Feng's superior, so Zhao Feng naturally does not need to call himself a junior general.
"alright."
"You don't need to flatter each other anymore."
"You'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."
Wang Jian smiled and interrupted the two of them.
Then he looked at Meng Yi again, with a bit of sarcasm: "Is your father mad enough that I led the army to the battle this time?"
Hearing this!
Meng Yi smiled helplessly: "General, go back to Xianyang and see my father and you will know."
"Ha ha."
"I think the old guy is angry. I want to see what he has to say about destroying Han this time." Wang Jian laughed.
Meng Yi on the side could only remain speechless.
There was no enmity between his father and Wang Jian. Instead, they admired each other. No matter who led the troops to the battle, he would inevitably be ridiculed after returning victoriously.
Maybe this is the fun between them.
"This time the army will move camp and return to Lantian."
"Zhao Feng."
"Meng Yi is going to Xinzheng to take up his post. You must escort him along the way."
"Yingchuan has just been settled, and there are many remnants of the Han Dynasty. The prefect Meng Yi must be a thorn in their eyes."
After joking, Wang Jian became serious again and gave instructions to Zhao Feng.
"I obey your command." Zhao Feng accepted the order immediately.
"kindness."
Wang Jian nodded, then took out a sealed scroll from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Feng. "Give it to Li Teng after returning to Xinzheng."
"I have already written down how to defend Yingchuan County and how to mobilize the troops."
Zhao Feng took the scroll and immediately put it in his arms.
After finishing the explanation.
Wang Jian stood at this point and glanced around the stage.
The military camp tents are being gradually dismantled, and the elite soldiers are also being gradually relocated.
Here.
Wang Jian spent seven months there.
"alright."
"The war is over."
"It's time for me to go back to Xianyang." Wang Jian said, turned around, and slowly walked towards the reviewing stand.
"Mr. Meng, should we set off for Xinzheng now or should we rest for a day before going further?" Zhao Feng looked at Meng Yi and asked.
"Let's set off today."
"The war in Yingchuan County has just subsided, and there are still many government affairs to be dealt with. If we are slow for a day, civilians will die due to improper resettlement." Meng Yi said in a deep voice. Looking at Yingchuan County ahead, he was naturally full of fighting spirit.
For him.
After becoming a county magistrate, he governed millions of people who had just experienced war and needed to be appeased.
"I wonder how many people the governor of Meng County brought with him this time?" Zhao Feng asked again.
Governing a region is not something that can be done by one person.
"We brought nearly three hundred clerks, in addition to two deputies," said Meng Yi.
"I will protect them all in the central army and ensure their safe arrival in Xinzheng." Zhao Feng said.
"Thank you, General Zhao." Meng Yi nodded.
Then.
The Duwei Camp led by Zhao Feng set out and headed back to Xinzheng.
But this time it was different from the first expedition.
From expedition to defense.
Nightfall.
After setting up camp.
Zhao Feng went into his tent early to rest.
But this was said to the outside world. Now that he was promoted to deputy general and his rank was raised to four levels, there were six treasure chests, plus the one he got when all his attributes exceeded one thousand, a total of seven treasure chests. Zhao Feng naturally couldn't wait to open them.
"Promote to General of Ten Thousand and obtain a first-level treasure chest."
"Promoted to deputy general and received a first-level treasure chest."
"Upgrade to level 4, and obtain four level 1 treasure chests."
As Zhao Feng collected the reward for promotion, he successfully obtained six treasure chests.
"Seven first-level treasure chests."
"I hope I can get what I want." Zhao Feng looked forward to it secretly.
Then he ordered: "Open all the treasure chests."
"Open all the treasure chests."
"Obtain [1,000 taels of gold]."
"Obtain the [Bone Refining Powder Recipe]."
"Obtain [Iron Forging Method]."
"Obtain [a piece of heavenly fragrant cardamom]."
"Obtain [1,000 taels of gold]."
"Obtain [Advanced Medical Skills]."
"Obtained the high-grade Yellow-level [Breath-holding Technique]."
All seven treasure chests are opened.
Zhao Feng immediately turned his attention.
"Two thousand taels of gold. I now have six thousand taels of gold. In the next period of time, I have to find a way to spend it and cultivate my own forces and troops."
"I already have two of these cardamom seeds. They are a treasure that can bring the dead back to life."
"The fine iron forging method should be stronger than that of this era. The iron tools of this era are not that sharp."
"My medical skills are advanced. After the fusion, my medical skills should be almost the same as my mother's. Look, that girl Zhao Ying said that I don't know medical skills."
"Breath-holding technique, a martial art."
"As for this bone refining powder, what is it?"
With doubts.
Zhao Feng extracted the formula of the Bone Refining Powder and took a look at it.
Catch the eye.
Zhao Feng understood instantly.
"It's true that someone sent me a pillow when I felt sleepy."
"With this bone refining powder, I can temper my muscles and bones, which will be of great help to the acquired realm of martial arts. Even if my bones are poor, I will have the opportunity to improve." Zhao Feng thought happily.
Although he only had five loyal subordinates, Zhao Feng was not clear about their martial arts foundation.
Practice martial arts.
Bones come first.
Not everyone can take this path, the innate realm is just a threshold.
Those with poor physique have almost no chance of entering the innate realm.
But for this era, if Zhao Feng could have hundreds of subordinates in the post-natal realm, even if they have just entered the first or second level of the post-natal realm, then each of them would be an elite who could fight ten people at once.
With the Bone Refining Powder, there will be a great bonus to your cultivation.
"And this breath-holding skill."
"This is a very suitable method for assassination. You move while holding your breath. There is no sound, and even the footsteps do not exist."
"It can be used to train death warriors."
"Just wait until I get back to Xinzheng and see where Wang Jian assigns me to." Zhao Feng thought secretly.
Time flies! In the blink of an eye.
Five days passed.
Xinzheng!
Li Teng and his generals were already waiting outside the city.
When Zhao Feng and his troops arrived at the city gate.
Li Teng came forward immediately.
"General Zhao, you have worked hard."
"I wonder if the Magistrate of Meng is doing well?"
Li Teng walked up to Zhao Feng and asked with a smile.
Obviously.
The news that Zhao Feng was appointed deputy general has reached Li Teng's ears.
"Reply to General Li."
"The mayor of Montgomery is doing well."
"All the officials from Xianyang have been escorted here." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
The next moment.
Meng Yi got down from the carriage at the back.
"See the County Magistrate of Meng."
See Meng Yi.
Li Teng immediately went forward and bowed.
See this scene.
Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with surprise: "Civil and military affairs are irrelevant, but Li Teng treated Meng Yi with courtesy. It seems that Li Teng is a general of the Meng family faction."
Zhao Feng is no longer a young man, so he naturally understands all this.
There are three camps in Lantian Camp.
Wang Jian’s son is in charge of one main camp, and the other two main camps will definitely not be Wang Jian’s confidants.
What would happen if the entire Lantian was filled with Wang Jian’s cronies?
The King of Qin would not sit idly by and watch.
Obviously.
The king must have checks and balances.
"No need to be polite, General Lee."
Meng Yi smiled and waved his hand.
"The war in Yingchuan County has just ended. Your Majesty has made the right choice by sending the prefect of Meng County to govern the area." Li Teng said in a flattering tone.
"Since the king trusts me, as a minister I will do my best." Meng Yi smiled slightly.
"How is the general?" Li Teng asked respectfully.
"Father is doing well in Xianyang. When I came here, I specifically asked you to cooperate with General Li in governing Yingchuan." Meng Yi said with a smile.
Li Teng nodded immediately: "As long as the governor of Meng County needs military assistance, I will be ready to serve you."
"alright."
"Don't waste time."
"Let's enter the city first." Meng Yi said.
"Okay." Li Teng nodded.
Lead the way.
Meng Yi went first.
Li Teng followed, and Zhao Feng instructed his subordinates to enter the city and return to the camp first, and then he followed.
And on the side.
Looking at Zhao Feng who was closely beside Li Teng.
The generals in the army also had different expressions.
“I never expected that.”
"It's only been a short time since Zhao Feng was transferred from a logistics troop to the main combat battalion as a captain. I thought that was the end of his career, but now he has become a deputy general."
"well."
"A sixteen-year-old deputy general, the youngest general in the Qin Dynasty, has been personally rewarded by the king. He has a bright future."
…
The generals had different thoughts.
There is envy, awe, and even jealousy.
For these.
Zhao Feng naturally didn't care too much and didn't pay any attention to it.
There is a saying that goes, where there are people, there are disputes, interests, and entanglements.
Even if they belong to the same army, it is impossible for them to speak with one voice, and factions do exist.
Xinzheng City, the former prime minister's residence! Meng Yi sat in the main seat, while Li Teng sat on the left.
Also in the hall were generals such as Zhao Feng and civil officials brought by Meng Yi.
"General Li has been doing a good job in governing the city during this period. Order has now been restored in the city."
Meng Yi praised with a smile.
As I walked along, I naturally saw the situation in the city.
"You are too polite, County Magistrate Meng."
"I am always enforcing the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Our soldiers and civilians will not harm anyone, but we will certainly not be polite to those mobs." Li Teng replied with a smile.
At this time!
Zhao Feng took out Wang Jian's handwritten order from his arms.
"General Lee."
"Before returning to the camp, the general gave me a handwritten letter. It contains instructions on how the army should defend the camp. Please take a look, General Li." Zhao Feng said to Li Teng.
The commander of the personal guards at the side immediately walked up to Zhao Feng, picked up the letter and handed it to Li Teng.
Li Teng opened it immediately and took a look.
It became clear in an instant.
"The general has given orders."
"Sun Ting and I will guard Xinzheng, and assist the governor of Meng County in governing Yingchuan."
"General Zhao will lead five battalions of 10,000 generals to guard Weicheng." Li Teng closed the general's order and spoke slowly.
"Weicheng?"
Zhao Feng was stunned.
Originally he thought he would stay in Yangcheng, or perhaps near Xinzheng.
Although Zhao Feng didn't know about other cities in Yingchuan of Han, he was very clear about Weicheng.
There is even a name for Wei in history, Wei River, and the Wei River Oath, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The Wei River originates from Qin, passes through Wei and Han, and is the largest tributary of the river. Weicheng is not far from the Wei River.
"The general ordered me to guard Weicheng. Is it to guard against the State of Wei?" Zhao Feng immediately thought of the reason.
"Now my Great Qin has just annexed South Korea, and its foundation is not yet stable."
"Use 50,000 troops to govern the interior and 50,000 troops to defend the exterior. This is the general's profound meaning."
"General Zhao leads the troops to guard Weicheng. The first thing we need to guard against is the State of Wei. We must not take it lightly." Li Teng immediately said to Zhao Feng.
"I understand." Zhao Feng nodded. After thinking about it, he actually smiled in his heart.
"Although Xinzheng is more prosperous than the border areas, why would I want such prosperity?"
"Weicheng is relatively remote, so I can better recruit people and train death squads."
"The emperor is far away."
"As long as I'm careful in everything I do, Meng Yi, Li Teng and the others won't know." Zhao Feng was secretly happy.
"Weicheng was originally a border city. Not only does it face the State of Wei, it can guard against the State of Wei. To the west, it also faces our Great Qin. The food and fodder for the army can be sent from our Great Qin homeland."
"General, this is a brilliant move!" Meng Yi also laughed out loud.
"General Li, I wonder which five battalions of ten thousand generals I will lead to garrison Weicheng?" Zhao Feng looked at Li Teng and asked.
"etc."
Meng Yi stood up and took out a royal edict: "The King of Qin's edict!"
Hear the sound.
Everyone in the hall stood up and bowed in worship.
"Royal edict!"
"Li Teng, the chief general of Qin, led his army to attack Han and successfully destroyed Han in less than seven months. His military exploits were outstanding and his contribution is invaluable."
"I will give you a promotion of one rank, five hundred slaves, a thousand acres of good land, five hundred gold, fifty thousand coins, a fine iron sword, and a new piece of armor."
Meng Yi read aloud.
Li Teng was very excited and bowed: "Your Highness, I, Li Teng, swear to be loyal to you until death, and to the Qin Empire until death."
"Sure enough, the higher you go, the harder it is to get promoted to a higher position, and the same goes for titles."
"For Li Teng, he is only in his thirties. Although he is in his prime, his position as the commander-in-chief does not seem to be very stable. This battle also helped him to secure his position as the commander-in-chief."
"I just don't know what level of nobility he is." Zhao Feng thought secretly.
Above the general.
Besides family background, the most important factor for promotion is military achievements.
Since Zhao Feng does not have the former, he can only rely on the latter.
The reason why Zhao Feng was promoted to the position of deputy general so quickly was that no one in Qin State, or even in the entire Shenzhou, had ever been promoted so quickly. But all this was because of his military exploits, his outstanding military exploits.
"General Lee."
"Congratulations on your promotion to a higher rank. You are now even more valued by the King."
"Accept the imperial edict." Meng Yi smiled.
Li Teng looked excited as he slowly walked forward and picked up Wang Zhao.
After the reading is completed.
Meng Yi took out another bamboo slip from the side.
"General Kuai."
"This is a letter of promotion and reward from the Vice-official Wei who submitted it to His Majesty, and it was approved by His Majesty."
"Please read out the title and reward."
"This time, all the promotions to kings above the level of captains under General Li Teng have been reviewed and approved one by one," said Meng Yi.
Aside.
The Central Army Sima Kuai Pu immediately stepped forward and solemnly took the bamboo slips.
Then he turned around and opened it in front of everyone.
"With the grace of the King and the approval of the Minister of the Imperial Household."
"now."
"The list of rewards for Po Jun's killing of the enemy is as follows."
"General Chen Tao of the Third Ten Thousand General Battalion, who has the merit of breaking the city, has been promoted two levels to the seventh-level duke and doctor, enjoying the annual salary of the title, and has been granted 100 acres of good land."
"Zhang Han, the marquis of the First Commandant Battalion, has made great contributions in breaking the city and beheading many generals. He is promoted two levels in rank and one level in title. Wei Quan, Luo Hua, Liu Wang, and Zhuang Wei have made great contributions in breaking the city and are promoted one level in rank and one level in title."
"All the elite soldiers of the First Ten Thousand Generals Battalion have made great contributions in attacking the city. Ten thousand generals have died in battle. All the heroic spirits who died in battle will be paid three times their annual salary, and their families will be provided with pensions. The surviving elite soldiers will all be promoted for their merits in breaking the city."
"The 70,000th General Battalion..."
"All meritorious service in killing the enemy in the army will be rewarded according to the military merit system, and the Central Army Sima will supervise it."
Kuai Pu read it aloud.
Hear this.
Almost all the generals in the hall received rewards, and each of them was very excited.
With each promotion in official position or title, the annual salary would increase several times.
This is real.
"It seems that the King of Qin almost completely attributed the credit for breaking the city to me. Although Chen Tao was promoted twice, he was not promoted to deputy general after all. Or, in other words, the position of deputy general has been filled for the time being."
"The former superior is now my subordinate, haha."
"There are also Zhang Han and his men. Five of them followed me all the way and their military exploits were not in vain. Zhang Han was actually awarded the title of General of Ten Thousand Army, which should be the position of the General of Ten Thousand Army who died in the vanguard battalion at the beginning. The rest were all awarded the title of Captain. The next step is to disperse them to various armies."
Listening to Kuai Pu's reading, Zhao Feng naturally remembered a few key points immediately.
The five people under his command all received rewards, and the amounts were not low.
Zhang Han commanded an army of thousands alone.
The other four men each commanded 5,000 soldiers, which meant a total of 30,000 troops.
"We thank the king for his grace."
All the generals in the hall shouted.
"The rewards for rank above Commandant have all ended."
"There are statistics for each army under the command of the commander, and I will supervise the rewards one by one." Kuai Pu said loudly.
The other generals naturally nodded.
"General Zhao, I just asked you which five battalions of generals you are leading to Weicheng."
"Let's do this."
"General Zhao, you can choose from the main camp." Li Teng looked at Zhao Feng and smiled, which was also a gesture of goodwill.
"I originally belonged to the Wanjiang Battalion. As for the other four Wanjiang Battalions, we will choose them after the military system is reorganized." Zhao Feng thought for a while and replied.
"General Zhao is right."
"Han is destroyed."
"But our army also suffered heavy casualties."
"After this battle, our army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. I'm afraid we will have to wait until next year to reorganize these lost troops with new soldiers." Deputy General Sun Ting said.
"Aren't there quite a few surrendered soldiers?" Zhao Feng asked in surprise.
"After this battle, our army captured nearly 50,000 surrendered soldiers. It is indeed a lot, but they are all slaves. They can only be cannon fodder at most and cannot form an army." Li Teng said slowly.
"Won't these surrendered soldiers be reorganized?" Zhao Feng was surprised again.
Gather the surrendered soldiers and fight.
Reorganize the prisoner army.
Isn't this something that existed during the Qin Dynasty? In history.
When the Qin State conquered the six kingdoms, the captured surrendered soldiers were also an important fighting force. Even at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the criminal army reorganized by Zhang Han also had strong fighting power.
Why does Li Teng look like he doesn't have any criminal army to reorganize? "Reorganize the surrendered soldiers?"
As soon as I heard what Zhao Feng said.
Li Teng was stunned.
All the generals in the hall were stunned.
Then.
Many generals couldn't help but laugh.
"General Zhao."
"It seems that you don't understand surrendered soldiers."
"It is very common for surrendered soldiers to be reorganized, surrender and then rebel again, and turn against their own side in battle."
"The surrendered soldiers could either be demoted to slaves to build highways and the Great Wall, or used as cannon fodder in sieges."
"Reorganize into an army?"
"There is no such precedent in our Great Qin." Sun Ting said with a smile.
"Then all these surrendered soldiers from South Korea will be demoted to slaves?" Zhao Feng asked.
"Yingchuan County has been initially settled. These surrendered soldiers will be given priority in building highways and repairing cities before being sent to the northern border," Meng Yi said.
Zhao Feng nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Li Teng and Meng Yi: "Mr. Meng, General Li, I do have a suggestion."
"Can I try to reorganize these surrendered soldiers into an army?" Zhao Feng said.
Hearing this.
Meng Yi and Li Teng looked at each other with surprise and confusion.
"General Zhao."
"In the past, our Great Qin, and even other countries, have had the practice of reorganizing surrendered soldiers. However, after the surrendered soldiers were reorganized into the army, they often turned against their own side in battle, and even caused chaos in the military camp, which was extremely harmful."
"So, there is no talk of reorganization now." Li Teng said.
"There are also many elite soldiers in the Han army. If they are used by our Great Qin, we can avoid casualties among the elite soldiers."
"I only want 20,000 surrendered soldiers. If feasible, they can serve as fighting forces for our Great Qin." Zhao Feng requested loudly.
