Chapter 36 Meritorious Service and Military Merit

You don't want to go back to Daqin? Don't want to go back to Xianyang?

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "The last general will not dare to forget why the Qin army is fighting!" Li Quai's face was ashamed and he saluted Qin Feng and said, "Zuo Shuchang, it's the last general who thinks wrong!" Just say it! What arrangements should our army make next?"

Qin Feng took Li Quai, took his hand and said, "Lord Zhisu Shi, I know that you are poor, as soon as you see such a big city in Bolun and so much money and goods, you think about how to consolidate and grow these fruits of victory!" But you have forgotten that tens of thousands of my Qin people can give up Qin City in order to return my Great Qin, and naturally they can also give up this Bolun City in order to return my Xianyang"!

Meng Xin heard that Qin Feng was going to abandon Bolun City, and hurriedly said: "Zuo Shuchang, our army finally took Bolun, and it took a lot of hard work to repel 100,000 enemies, such a strong city, should it be abandoned once and for all?"

Qin Feng didn't answer Meng Xin, but looked at the others: "Do you think the same way?" Do you think that our army should not abandon the city of Bolun"? The generals were silent when they heard this, and it was clear that they were reluctant to give up the fortified city of Bolun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Jing and Sima Zhi saw that everyone didn't speak, and said in unison: "Zuo Shuchang, we listen to you"! Meng Ling, Li Tie and several young officers also followed the two and said, "Chief Zuo, we listen to you"!

Meng Xin, Sima Li and Li Quzhi also said: "Zuo Shuchang, we listen to you!" But the last general really can't figure it out, you have to make it clear to us!"

Qin Feng looked at everyone's expressions, knowing that if he didn't make this matter clear, he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to agree, and he was afraid that tens of thousands of Qin people would not be able to agree. After thinking about it, he said: "I have only tens of thousands of Qin people, and if I want to return to Xianyang, I will not have the spare strength to engage in production. Therefore, our army marched all the way east, and we could only feed the war with war, as for grain and grass, we didn't have it, and the Tianzhu people didn't have it?"

After speaking, Qin Feng paused slightly: "Our army abandoned Qin City in order to capture Bolun, repel the invading enemy, and strengthen ourselves, and now we have done it!" And we gave up Bolun in order to take the city of Harappa, not because the city of Harappa is bigger and stronger, but because it is close to the Gupta dynasty and closer to our Great Qin"!

When the generals heard Qin Feng say that the Qin army wanted to take Harappa City, they were elated one by one, if they could take Harappa City, this Bolun would not want it! As for whether it can be won? How do you take it? Since Zuo Shuchang said it, he must have a plan. Looking at the faces of the crowd, it was as if the city of Harappa was in front of them, just waiting for them to reach out and get them.

Meng Xin looked at Qin Feng, and his heart was turbulent. The thoughts of the young man in front of him could never have been guessed. When he was in Qin City that day, he and everyone only thought about how to repel the enemy who came from King Bolun, but Qin Feng was thinking about how to take Bolun City and repel the enemy who came from attack, and there was no opponent in the east of Tianzhu. Now what he and everyone are thinking about is how to develop and grow based on Bolun City, but what Qin Feng wants is to abandon Bolun, base himself on Harappa City, and point his sword at the entire territory of Tianzhu. The idea is so wild, and the use of soldiers is so determined to forge ahead, this young man in front of him is really the natural leader sent down by God to lead me tens of thousands of Qin people to return my Great Qin back to my Xianyang.

Looking at Qin Feng, who was high-spirited and scolded Fang Yu at this time, Meng Xin was even more determined in his thoughts, and he was determined that if Qin Feng had a life in the future, he would never doubt it! Thinking of this, Meng Xin knelt down and saluted Qin Feng and said, "Zuo Shuchang, the last general is short-sighted, you can give the order!" In the end, you will only be the first to look forward"!

Li Quzhi also knelt down and saluted towards Qin Feng and said, "Zuo Shuchang, I will be blinded by this small profit in front of me, and I have forgotten to return my great wish!" Zuo Shuchang, you can give the order! The end will be everything"!

The generals in the house also knelt down and said, "Zuo Shu, you can give the order!" The last will be obeyed"!

Qin Feng hurriedly picked up the three veterans, and after telling everyone to get up, he said: "I expect that Shamoro will not be able to capture Harappa City in the short term, during this time, our army is just expanding its armaments and warfare, and we will pay close attention to training, and when they are both defeated, our army will have gone down the mountain, take Harappa, and point the sword at the Gupta Dynasty"!

The generals said "hi" and took orders one after another.

Next, Qin Feng asked Li Qubing to count the adult men of the Qin people, and then asked him to list the list of meritorious soldiers of the Qin army these days, and reward them according to the 20-level military merit title system of the Qin army.

Sima Li, as the imperial history of the Qin army, is most familiar with the military system and military law of the Qin army, and heard that Qin Feng wants to reward meritorious soldiers according to the Qin army's 20-level military merit title system, and hurriedly said: "Zuo Shuchang, this reward title needs to be agreed upon by the General's Mansion and the Examination Department, and then reported to His Majesty the Emperor for approval, and it can only take effect in the form of a monarch's order.

According to the military system of the Qin army, the reward for military merit and title must indeed be so. But can Qin Feng tell them that Great Qin is dead now? Can you tell them that Great Qin only lasted 14 years before it ended? Can you tell them that not only the Great Qin has died, but the Great Han after the Great Qin has long since perished? If the Qin people were told such a cruel reality, would they still be able to live? Isn't that what they rely on to sustain them? If you tell them, what to return to me Daqin and Xianyang, wouldn't it be empty talk!

Qin Feng laughed when he thought of this: "Lord Supervisor Shi, our army is thousands of miles away from my Great Qin, how can I report to His Majesty the Emperor, and say that I will not accept the orders of the monarch outside, how can I be rigid in everything, as long as it is beneficial for our army to march east all the way back to Xianyang, just do it!" Our army is now isolated in the outer land, where can we take care of so much"!

The next day, Li Qubing came to report that in addition to the craftsmen required by the various weapons and ordnance manufacturing offices, the rest of the Qin men aged 16 to 60 were required to serve in the military, a total of more than 42,000 people. The specific amount of recruitment for this expansion will be decided by Qin Feng.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said: "It seems that the military system of the Qin army needs to be modified somewhat, so let's do it, Lord Zhisu Shi, you select 30,000 people from 16 to 50 years old to enlist in the army, as for the cavalry, all of them are selected from the veterans, and if there is any shortage, they will be selected from the recruits." If this can be done, our army will have more than 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry troops.

After Li Quzhi nodded in agreement, he took out the list of meritorious soldiers from his arms and handed it to Qin Feng. Qin Feng took it and was startled. According to the military system of the Qin army, a sergeant only needs to capture one of the enemy's heads and bring the heads back to the barracks, he can obtain the first-class military merit title "Gongshi", and the more he wins, the higher the title. If he dies in battle, his family is allowed to inherit the title.

The military merits of the Qin army are divided into the merits of generals, lieutenants and sergeants. The fundamental difference is that a sergeant is a decapitator, a lieutenant is a victory, and a general is a victory.

When these military exploits are calculated, if the casualties of one's own soldiers are greater than the number of beheadings, not only can they not be rewarded for their merits, but they must be judged by law. If the number of casualties and beheadings of your sergeant is equal, the merit and crime are commensurate and there is no reward or punishment. Only if the number of beheadings is greater than the number of casualties can be rewarded according to the law according to the 20-level military merit title system.

According to this list, three veterans such as Meng Xin and young officers such as Meng Jing have military merit titles ranging from the 5th rank of 'doctor' to the 9th rank of 'five doctors'. And Qin Feng's title was promoted from the 10th-level military merit title 'Zuo Shuchang' to the 12th-level military merit title 'Zuo Geng', ranking first among the generals.

Qin Feng frowned: "Lord Zhisu Shi, although there is a slight merit in this battle, this 'left watch' is still too high." Besides, when he was in Qincheng, he had no size in the lower body, so he was knighted as 'Zuo Shu Chang', which was to facilitate command. With the current military merits, it is already an honor to be knighted as the 'Left Chief', and it is better not to be promoted now"!

Li Qubing saw that Qin Feng's attitude was so resolute, although he didn't agree with Qin Feng's statement, he didn't want to say anything, he just said that this list was just a draft, and everyone had to discuss how to finalize it.

Qin Fengzai carefully read this list, and saw that there were tens of thousands of sergeants in the Qin army, and the lowest was the first-level military merit title "Gongshi", while most of the sergeants were second-level military merit titles "Shangzai", and some were third-level military merit titles "hairpins".

Qin Feng laughed after reading it: "It seems that every sergeant of our army has won in this battle!" Good! Good! Good"!

Li Quzhi could still laugh when he saw Qin Feng, and said with a wry smile: "Zuo Shuchang, according to the Qin Army's 20-level military merit title system, the first-level military merit title "Gongshi", 50 stones, 1 hectare of land, 9 acres of homestead and a servant. The second-level military merit title is "made up", with 100 stones, 2 hectares of land, 18 acres of homestead and two servants. The third-level military merit title "hairpin", 150 stones, 3 acres of land, 27 acres of residential land and three servants. As for the reward above the title of 'doctor', there will be more, and the title of 'five doctors' and above will also be rewarded with food. Commander Zuo, although our army has a lot of money and food now, but according to such a reward, I am afraid that I will become poor again!"

This is something that Qin Feng did not expect, no wonder the history books record that in the Qin Dynasty, the Lilu officials and the soldiers came out, and sure enough, once the military merits were in the body, the wealth and noble titles rolled in. When I read about the 20-level military merit title system of the Qin State when I was in school, I did not memorize the number of rewards for each level of the title, but I knew that the Qin State began to implement the 20-level military merit title system, and it didn't take long for the entire Qin State to become the first to join the army, and the Qin people gradually developed a belligerent style of being happy when they heard the battle and beheading every enemy they killed. After all, in modern society, there is Baidu and Google, how convenient it is to check information, who will have nothing to do to memorize this.

Qin Feng thought about it and laughed: "Lord Zhisu Shi, this is not a good thing, since you want to change the military system of the Qin army, you simply change the reward of the 20-level military merit title system, but this matter can't be decided by me in one word, let's discuss it together!"
