It has been more than a month since the Dengzhou battalion returned to Penglai, and Guan Qingtian took the battle damage results calculated by the Military Council Department and read it in the hall, and everyone was not happy at the moment.

Wang Zheng was also grief-stricken, these soldiers who died in Liaodong were all battle-hardened characters, and if they took out one at random, even Liu Zeqing's family couldn't compare, so they just threw more than 1,000 people in Liaodong, and it was fake if they didn't feel heartache.

However, how can you fight without dying, especially against the Tartars, this is only the beginning, and there may be many more small battles with the Tartars in the future.

After all, Wang Zheng is not the kind of indecisive person, and he quickly figured it out after being sad, thinking about how to comfort himself, make himself feel at ease, and at the same time, make the warrior follow him more desperately.

Wang Zheng was a soldier in the army before he came here, and this thought naturally came to mind with two words - medals.

Don't underestimate this small medal, the significance of all soldiers is very significant, the soldiers who took the medal in later generations are regarded as treasures, hanging on the body and walking outside to have face, excellent workmanship can be passed down from generation to generation.

It is impossible for Wang Zheng to ask others about the medal, although this thing is common in later generations, but at this time, I am afraid that it is the innovation of his Dengzhou camp, of course, he must think about it carefully.

Wang Zheng asked Yu'er to study ink, and even the two of them stayed in the study for a few nights to discuss, and the world-famous medal of the Dengzhou camp was also set at that time, but this thing is easy to remember, and it is really necessary to realize how much brains it takes to draw.

About a few days later, the perfect sketch of the medal was sent to the Military Council Department along with Wang Zheng's handwritten documents, and through the Military Council Division, it was distributed to the officers and soldiers at all levels of the Dengzhou Battalion.

This medal looks simple, but it can't be made by craftsmen who have been crafted for many years, and it will begin to produce finished products one after another after ten days, but in fact, the appearance is only one circle larger than the copper coin.

This one, and the rarest, is made of pure gold and jade, and a miniature city of Hetuara is engraved on it.

This is specially built for the soldiers who have made great contributions to Liaodong, in addition to these more than 3,000 pieces, even the Dengzhou battalion will no longer produce in the future, and the drawings have been burned, in order to make things scarce and expensive.

Soon, this pure gold medal was distributed to the soldiers one by one, and at first everyone did not think so, thinking that such a gold nugget the size of a copper coin could be worth much silver, and what use could it be to hold it.

Later, after listening to the clerk sent by the Military Division, I felt like I had obtained a treasure.

Unexpectedly, this small medal will be a testimony of their honor in the future, there are only more than 3,000 of them in the world, and the rest of the soldiers don't know how envious they are.

said that it was sent down for the soldiers to wear, but most of the soldiers who had families and rooms were willing to take it out and expose it to the wind and sun, and took advantage of the week's holiday to go home and seal it well, and when they left, they kept telling their wives and sons to keep them as the most important things.

This is a testimony of the honor of killing the Tartars, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an heirloom, and it is natural to pass it on from generation to generation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Zheng also issued a complete set of medals in the Dengzhou battalion, in addition to the special limited medals for each battle, the Dengzhou battalion also has three kinds of medals, upper, middle and lower, to reward soldiers with outstanding training and tasks on weekdays.

However, only the limited medals of the battle were made of pure gold, and the rest of the medals were made of silver, but this did not affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

These three are divided into combat medals, drill medals and outstanding military merit medals, with the pattern of two crossed steel knives, a strictly looking armored soldier in training, and a military tent with a flag fluttering.

The newly added "Regulations on Military Merit of the Dengzhou Battalion Medal" clearly stipulates the three ways to obtain the medals, and the medals are settled and distributed to the soldiers together with the training every three months.

Originally, Wang Zheng was a little worried, because people at this time were different from later generations, and the things that were common in later generations might not be able to be eaten here, but later he felt that he was too worried.

Wang Zheng's treatment of the soldiers is now the best in the Ming Dynasty, not only the salary is never interrupted, and the full amount is paid every month, and once they enter the regular soldier, they will be rewarded with five acres of land, and the medal system awarded this time makes the soldiers feel glorious and have a stronger sense of belonging.

According to the officers' reports, it is said that since the implementation of the medal system, the soldiers are blushing every time they mention the Hetuara medal obtained by the soldiers, and the Dengzhou battalion has been in full swing since then.

Just like horses running in the same row, only competition can produce more good horses, and the same is true for soldiers, if an army is competitive for a long time, then the combat effectiveness of this army will inevitably rise in a straight line.

Wang Zheng looked at the official document reported by the Military Council and nodded constantly, it is certain that the types of daily medals will increase in the future, but it must be skillfully controlled, neither too much, nor too little.

At present, I only want to come up with so much, so I have to take one step at a time.

Just thinking about it, suddenly a soldier ran from outside the door, perhaps because of the medal system, this soldier knelt on the ground with his waist straight, clenched his fists and said solemnly:

"General Qiyu, Jingshi Qincha has arrived in the territory."

On February 2 of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the day before the Spring Festival, Qincha finally came to Penglai from Beizhili, accompanied not only by the celebrants, but also by several military officials.

In addition, he was accompanied by Xu Renlong, the governor of Denglai, and an official of the Laizhou Prefecture.

Wang Zheng and Sun Hualong, the prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, immediately took the civil and military officials of Fucheng out of ten miles to greet each other, and took the Qin mission to Penglai, and the accompanying officials were hundreds of people, and Xu Renlong arranged for the servants to play gongs and drums all the way, and the flag was the first, and it was very lively.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, this pomp and circumstance of Qincha is big.

Soon, in the school grounds, the eunuch who delivered the decree carefully took out the golden scroll, slowly spread it out in the air, coughed a few times, and shouted sharply:

"Dengzhou Prefecture Coastal Defense Deputy Chief Soldier Wang Zheng received the order~"

"The last general, Wang Zheng, led the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion to receive the order, long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live..."

Wang Zheng and the officials of the two prefectures of Denglai immediately knelt down to receive the order, and the surrounding Dengzhou battalion soldiers waved their flags, and the lineup was even more neat, almost at the same time as Wang Zheng's voice fell, he immediately knelt on the ground, his head to the ground, and made a great salute.

"Wang Zheng, deputy chief of Dengzhou coastal defense, led the Dengzhou battalion soldiers to capture the Tatar capital city of Hetuala, captured Nen Zhe and other small slaves and thieves, self-restraint, loyalty, and great merit to the court, and awarded the governor Denglai coastal soldiers and horses to prepare the Japanese capital to command the envoy, as the chief military officer of Denglai, in charge of the general army seal, and still led the Dengzhou battalion to garrison Penglai, and took charge of the coastal defense of Denglai Erfu, prepared for the Japanese, and dispatched all the affairs of grain and equipment, soldiers and horses..."

However, this holy decree was not finished, and the eunuch changed his head and continued to read:

“... The soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion bravely dared to fight, beheaded 3,000 slaves, and made immortal achievements, and they should be the head of the three armies, and I am very relieved! The battalion officer Wang Zheng commanded and trained meritoriously, and was crowned a five-grade cavalry captain, boasting about the merits of the world, for the sake of the three armies! ! ”

"The rest should be done in all matters, and the military department, various ministries and institutes, and departments will coordinate and help..."

When the words landed, the audience was shocked. 21010
