Chapter 47: Promotion to Centurion

"Eighty-five boxes of copper coins, eighty-five thousand in all."

"Twenty-eight boxes of silver coins, twenty-eight thousand in all."

"Twelve boxes of gold coins, twelve thousand in all."

"A whole box of jade coins." Ling Xia opened the box, and quickly grabbed a handful of jade coins and stuffed them into his arms while people were unprepared: "Ahem------ I was wrong just now, it's not a whole box, I'll count it, it's nine hundred and sixty-one------- well------ nine hundred-------- nine hundred." ”

After registering the inventory coins of Juyitang, Ling Xia began to record the other loot, and every time he finished registering and pasting the seal, Ling Xia would pretend to recite it aloud:

"Twelve boxes of pearls, eighty corals, and two boxes of precious stones."

"Seventy-six pieces of gold ornaments and thirty pieces of jade carving ornaments."

"Two hundred and forty calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, seven boxes of antique porcelain."

"Seven hundred horses of silk, three hundred horses of silk cloth, and four hundred horses of brocade cloth."

"Four hundred and eighty-one boxes of various healing medicines, and four hundred and sixty heavy riding shields."

"Two thousand shields made of stainless steel, and three hundred and ninety spears of iron spurs."

"One hundred pieces of heavy armor made of black iron, and ten giant axes of meteoric iron."

"Three hundred boiled bronze armor-piercing bows, four hundred barrels of feathered arrows, fifty barrels each."

"4,000 pieces of animal skin light armor, 13,000 pairs of cowhide boots, and 6,000 sets of weapons and belts."

"Nine hundred quenching blades, seven hundred Qingfeng swords, and eight thousand other weapons."

"Three giant siege crossbows, ten long-range armor-piercing crossbows, and 1,400 crossbow arrows."

"10,000 pieces of 18 weapons, 4,000 jars of fine wine, 500 sacks of medicinal herbs......"

I have to say that Juyitang's family background is many, forty carriages escorted six times before all the captured loot was transported back, and when the team escorting the loot returned for the first time, Yi Haojie and Ling Xia knew the news that the legion commander was safe and sound, and it was because of this that they were so calm behind them.

When transporting the materials back, Yi Haojie hinted that Ling Xia had withheld some of the materials, and the base camp of the Battle Guards who returned in two ways was handed over to the division commander, and the part that was deducted was hidden in the small treasury of Yi Haojie's thousand-man team.

After Yi Haojie returned, he was cordially received by Nangong Bo, and Fu Qingyun told Nangong Bo about Yi Haojie's public admonition and insistence on suppressing the bandits first and then returning to help, saying that if it weren't for Yi Haojie's repeated insistence, the Tiger Division would probably have to let go of the bandits in Juyitang.

After sorting out the summary of the war, pacifying the soldiers, reporting to the imperial court about the victory in suppressing bandits, applying for additional military assistance, returning the reinforcements from various prefectures, receiving the spoils of war, collecting the prisoners, and repairing the morale of the division and regiment, for several days, everyone was busy with the aftermath.

On this day, Ling Xia was preparing to replenish meat and wine for the only remaining four hundred-person team, suddenly, Yi Haojie came to find Ling Xia and blocked all his subordinates, Yi Haojie sincerely thanked Ling Xia, if it weren't for his plans, it would be impossible to achieve a great victory in this crackdown on bandits.

After being polite, Yi Haojie looked at Ling Xia with a smile and asked him if he wanted to lead troops to fight?

It turned out that in view of Yi Haojie's dazzling performance this time, Fu Qingyun admired him very much, and saw that Yi Haojie's thousand-man team was only four, and decided to replenish him with a group of captive soldiers.

In order to supplement Yi Haojie's losses, Fu Qingyun gave priority to replenishing him with 600 prisoners with the best quality, and made up for Yi Haojie's thousand-man team.

After learning what happened, Ling Xia looked at Yi Haojie with a shocked face: "Adults don't want to promote me, right?" ”

"I do have that idea." Yi Haojie did not hide it, and directly told Ling Xia that after a period of time, after the division and regiment were replenished, he was likely to be promoted to Captain Wan, which was the blessing of Ling Xia.

In order to repay Ling Xia, he planned to promote Ling Xia's position to centurion, a centurion who was a military general of the eighth rank and belonged to the main battle general.

Since the transfer of military generals requires the appointment of military generals at a higher level, and then it will be reviewed and filed by the Ministry of War afterwards, Yi Haojie has put a lot of thought into this. In order to help Ling Xia be promoted to centurion, Yi Haojie specially asked Xiang Kunlun to help, and he came forward to promote Ling Xia, Xiang Kunlun has agreed, and now it only needs to be reviewed and filed by the Ministry of War, and it can officially take effect.

"My lord, I take the liberty of asking, you are now a military general of the seventh rank, if you are promoted, it is said that you should be promoted to the post of the patrol commander of the sixth rank, how can you be directly promoted to the commander of the sixth grade?

I seem to have heard someone mention it before, saying that the transfer of generals below the seventh rank is decided by the general of the battle guard, and the transfer of generals above the seventh rank needs to be approved by the Ministry of War.

For example, the position of commander of a thousand commanders and a commander of ten thousand is the main general, and the general commander or the patrol station is an auxiliary general, what is going on? Ling Xia asked something that had been haunting his mind for a long time.

"Oh, that's what you say." Yi Haojie didn't seem to care about this, and after listening to Ling Xia's question, he casually explained: "In fact, these are all differences in the division of labor, and when it comes to the battlefield, there are no such differences."

On the surface, the transfer of some high-ranking generals does require the approval of the Ministry of War, but the transfer and promotion of a certain military general is decided by the commander of the army, and as long as the senior general of the army agrees, the Ministry of War will basically not interfere, and it will be a process.

Some generals are suitable for leading troops to fight, but they are not suitable for managing the army, and some generals are good at logistics management, but they are not proficient in killing the enemy on the battlefield, perhaps in order to make the best use of their talents, so there is a division between main battle generals and auxiliary generals.

However, in my opinion, those are all vain, and when it comes to the battlefield to fight, everyone has to rush forward, and when we suppress the bandits, we even have the gang in the end, and at that juncture, everyone is a soldier, who still has the heart to divide these.

The reason why I crossed the patrol station and was directly promoted to captain Wan was because our division did not have the post of commander of the patrol station, and the patrol station was responsible for inspecting the issue of soldiers' conduct and discipline. ”

"Every position has its own meaning of existence, how can the division commander be abolished at will?" Ling Xia was a little incomprehensible.

"What's this?" Yi Haojie pursed his lips: "In my opinion, the patrol station is a chicken rib organization, they don't do anything else, they are busy inspecting the discipline of soldiers and generals all day long, and as soon as they grab a pigtail, they will report to the Department of Discipline and Discipline for punishment."

Just like our division suppressed bandits a few days ago, the soldiers of the entire division fought desperately, if a few soldiers did something out of the ordinary at this time, it would be completely understandable, but if the patrol station existed, it would definitely make a big fuss.

It's all your own people, why bother looking for your own fault, now there is no patrol station, how good is this, unrestrained, don't worry about someone supervising yourself, I have been targeted by the patrol desk before, because of the connivance of soldiers to grab food, I was almost kicked out of the army. ”

"Oh, I understand, it turns out that the patrol station is equivalent to the pickets of later generations, this organization is not chicken, and it is expected to improve the quality of the army." After figuring out the doubts in his heart, Ling Xia no longer dwelled on this topic.

Anyway, he is still far from that position, hearing that Yi Haojie is going to promote himself to centurion, Ling Xia immediately showed a look of gratitude, and said vigorously that he would follow Yi Haojie to work hard and strive to make new contributions.

Yi Haojie was very satisfied with Ling Xia's reaction, the reason why he promoted Ling Xia to the position of centurion was mainly to win over Ling Xia, Yi Haojie had earned so many honors by using Ling Xia's war plan, and now he was going to be promoted to captain of ten thousand years, if Ling Xia couldn't get anything, he felt a little unreasonable.

"Alright, I'll hand over the work at hand later, and then report with me to the hundredth team, those captives are already in place, and now I'll send you, the centurion." After finishing speaking, Yi Haojie patted his forehead and added:

"I almost forgot, your hundred-man team has just been formed, and there is no establishment, when the time comes, you can pick a few smart and capable people to serve as the ten-captain, and report the information of those ten-captains to me when you go back, and I can help with the construction of the file."

"Okay, thank you, sir, I'll report now." Ling Xia didn't care about the handover, and couldn't wait to follow Yi Haojie towards the thousand-man team, at this time, Nangong Yue and the other six centurions were admonishing their respective soldiers on the school ground.

After seeing Yi Haojie, everyone saluted and waved their hands, Yi Haojie led Ling Xia to the 100th team, announced the appointment of Ling Xia in public, and learned that Ling Xia was promoted to centurion, Nangong Yue and several other centurions all applauded and congratulated.

Except for Nangong Yue, several other centurions were all newly promoted, they were all old men under Yi Haojie, so they were all familiar with Ling Xia, and seeing that Yi Haojie chose to promote Ling Xia to centurion, everyone had no opinion.

The first thing Ling Xia did after being promoted to centurion was to transfer the five Luo brothers, Lao Cui, Yang Lucai, Liu Piaoyi, Shangguan Hui, Qu Qinshi, and Huya, and assign them to different positions.

And the second thing he did was to bend the law for personal gain, seeing that he was about to take over his duties, Ling Xia was reluctant to lose his brother, he took advantage of the opportunity of stepping down, but not yet relinquishing the order, to blatantly, wantonly, and blatantly allocate equipment to the 100th team.

"Eleven boxes of various healing medicines, 100 heavy riding shields, 100 stainless steel shields, 100 iron spurs, 100 heavy armor made of black iron, 10 meteoric iron giant axes, 100 cooked copper armor-piercing bows, 400 barrels of feathered arrows, animal skin light armor, cowhide combat boots, and weapon belts are 250 each, on the grounds that there is a replacement when it is dirty and washed.

In addition to those, Ling Xia also allocated 100 quenching blades, 100 Qingfeng swords, 100 giant iron shields, 100 shield-breaking giant hammers, 1 giant siege crossbow, 3 long-distance armor-piercing crossbows, 400 crossbow arrows, 500 altars of fine wine, 10 boxes of copper coins, 3 boxes of silver coins, and 1 box of gold coins for military salaries......"
