Chapter VI: Promotion

The vulture man's surname is Wang, his name is Bingyun, and his character is cultivated.

Wang Bingyun was born in a military household in Gaoyang County.

The military household system is a hereditary system of military personnel established at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty. If the ancestors are soldiers, then the descendants will be soldiers, unless they are the last ones.

In the past, Wang Bingyun had a low status and was just a team leader, but he was brave and ruthless since he was a child, practiced martial arts, and was quite famous in the army.

Later, when the government sent troops to kill the surrounding bandits, Wang Bingyun was promoted by the county guard because of his countless killings and showed extraordinary strength, so he was promoted by the county guard and became a hereditary capital, and changed his fate from then on.

According to the military system of the Xia State, ten people are one tithe, and there is a chief; Four tithes are a team, and the team is positive; Five teams are a sentry, with a sentry officer, also called a centurion; The five outposts are a battalion, with a camp head, also called the capital; The five battalions are a brigade with brigade generals; The five brigades are one army with generals.

There are also marshals above the generals, but the marshals are not permanent, and the imperial court is generally only appointed temporarily.

The military system of the Xia State was garrisoned in the state capitals, counties and counties. And the generals defending the city only obey the orders of the chief officer of the city.

That is to say, if the governor of the state city wants to dispatch the defenders of the city, he can only give the order to the governor of the city, and then the secretary of the city will give the order to the defenders of the city. You can't skip a grade.

If the governor refuses to carry out the orders of the governor, then the governor will not be able to dispatch the army of the prefecture.

According to the system, there are about two armies stationed in the state city, and three brigades are stationed in the prefecture city. The county town usually has three or four battalions. The county seat is generally stationed with one or two sentinels.

After being promoted, Wang Bingyun has not had any opportunity to show himself for many years. He himself gradually became cold and hot-blooded, and became an old oilman.

This time, the western thieves invaded the territory and several counties were lost, Wang Bingyun felt that it was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he asked the county guard to recover it. The county warden rewarded him and agreed to his request.

However, soon after sending troops, Wang Bingyun regretted it.

He originally had more than 1,000 men with armor, but he didn't order troops for a long time, and this time he found that there were less than 400 officers and soldiers under his command. Of these 400 people, nearly half are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have little combat strength.

Relying on such an army to regain the county seat? Wang Bingyun felt that unless the thieves themselves gave up the county seat.

Therefore, when he first arrived in Jiaxian, Wang Bingyun remained unmoved.

However, to Wang Bingyun's surprise, the thief really left the county by himself.

The credit of picking up in vain, don't be in vain, Wang Bingyun immediately seized the opportunity and 'attacked' the county seat in one fell swoop.

This is how Jia County was recovered.

"Raise your gun, stab!"

Outside the county seat, on an open wasteland, Wang Bingyun, dressed in military uniform, walked around with his hands behind his back, drinking from time to time.

Behind Wang Bingyun is the son of the five whistles who is practicing. Two of them were veterans he had brought out of the county, with bright armor and majestic style. The other three sentinels were recruits led by Han won, ragged and unkempt.

With Wang Bingyun's support, the teenagers of Rotten Peach Village successively found thousands of survivors from the nine towns around the county seat, and after Wang Bingyun's selection, more than 1,000 of them were included in his account.

At noon, the sun was scorching and the heat wave was rolling.

The soldiers who practiced the five sentinels were so tired that their mouths were dry and sweating like rain.

The county soldiers under Wang Bingyun are all soldiers in the city, and they are usually negligent in training, and they will only steal and play tricks. Now that Wang Bingyun is serious, they are all complaining one by one.

On the other hand, most of Han Yuan and others were born in poverty and suffered a catastrophe, and they finally had a chance to live, and everyone naturally cherished it. Therefore, although they are tired and tired, no one dares to complain. How Wang Bingyun ordered, they carried it out.

Looking at the recruits and veterans with different performances, Wang Bingyun sighed with emotion in his heart.

But he felt more fortunate that the world was so chaotic that someone under his hand was more important than anything else. What's more, there is still such a group of vigorous and good soldiers under his command.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but become proud, and he admired his decision to lead his troops out of the county even more.

Oh, it's ridiculous that the other two self-righteous commanders in the county town thought that my Wang Bingyun sent troops to ask for hardship. What an idiot.

That night, Wang Bingyun set up a banquet to invite Jiang County Ling and Han Yuan to his temporary residence. It is said that there is something to discuss.

"Wang Dutong, I don't know what you have to do when you call this official here?"

As soon as he entered the door, before he was seated, Jiang Xian Ling asked.

According to the official system of Great Xia, Wang Bingyun's grade is actually equivalent to that of the lord of a county, and they are all seven grades.

"Jiang County Order, Han Baihu, come, take a seat."

Wang Bingyun hurriedly got up to greet the two, and a rare smile appeared on the vulture's face.

"Let's talk while we eat." Wang Bingyun sat down again as he spoke, and started to pick up the vegetables.

Jiang Xian Ling couldn't tell what he meant, so he had to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and eat with him.

Han Won had the lowest status, and he looked at the table of fragrant wine and food in front of him, and hesitated to do it.

"Boy, what are you doing in a daze? Eat it. Wang Bingyun said to Han Yuan.

Han Won then sat down.

Seeing Wang Bingyun's behavior, the Jiang County Commander couldn't figure it out in his heart, so he said: "Wang Dutong, could it be that the imperial court has promoted you to an official?"

Wang Bingyun said with a smile: "Jiang County Ling said that it was funny, in this Gaoyang County, we martial artists can be regarded as the top of the sky, what kind of official can we promote."

"However, although the official has not been promoted, the official does not need to return to the county for the time being. The county guard raised his love and asked the official to clean up the mess in the counties and recruit soldiers and horses. Haha, when Wang first came here, he had to rely on two more. ”

"Ah, congratulations to Wang Dutong."

I heard that Wang Bingyun was ordered by the county guard to stay in the county for a long time. Jiang Xianling's face immediately piled up a bunch of smirks. In his mouth, he no longer called himself an official, but changed his name to a lower official.

"Congratulations to Lord Toto!" Han Won also lost no time in complimenting.

Wang Bingyun waved his hand, pretending to be modest: "Hey, what's there to be happy about?" Now the counties are in tatters, but there is a headache. ”

"Well, there's something I want to congratulate Officer Han." Wang Bingyun raised his glass and took a drink, and then said: "The official documents in the county have been approved, and from today onwards, you recruits will be official officers and soldiers, and the imperial court will pay military salaries every month."

"Congratulations, Officer Han, from today onwards, you also have an eight-rank official body! It's really young and promising. ”

Jiang Xian Ling turned to congratulate Han Yuan.

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, is there such a bizarre encounter in the world?

A month ago, he was a little-known rural boy in Rotten Peach Village. Half a month ago, I was still struggling with a slim future. Why has he become an official of the imperial court now?

"Don't thank Wang Dutong yet?" Jiang County Ling reminded.

"Humble duty, humble duty, thank you Lord Metropolitan Commander!"

Han Yuan was so excited that he almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Wang Bingyun.

"The kindness of Lord Totong is unforgettable! I am willing to die for the adults! Han Yuan said sincerely.

Wang Bingyun nodded at Han Won with satisfaction. He has always seen people well, and he believes that the young man in front of him will do something in the future.

However, Wang Bingyun also faintly felt a little guilty about the Korean won in his heart. I don't know why, he always feels that this person is not simple.

After three rounds of drinking, the Korean won, who was not strong enough to drink, retired first. Only Wang Bingyun and Jiang Xianling were left at the table.

"Jiang County Order, Wang Mou toasts you. You are a few years older, if you don't dislike it, I will respect you as Brother Jiang in the future. ”

Jiang County Lingdui smiled and said: "How dare you, if Dutong is willing, I will call you Brother Wang."

"Haha, Brother Jiang."

"Brother Wang."

The words of the two seem to be really long-lost brothers.

"Brother Jiang, what do you think of Han Yuan?"

Wang Bingyun put down the wine glass and said suddenly.

Jiang Xian Ling hesitated for a moment and said:

"This son is not a thing in the pool."
