After careful consideration, Qin Duan notified Liu Dashan, Zhu Yongqing, and Shangguan Yonglun, and after intense discussion and consultation, both sides finally felt that the plan proposed by Qin Duan was the most suitable and acceptable, that is, it was agreed that Liang Qiming would select the wounded and sick from the nearly 7,000 troops who were still being treated, but they were not allowed to be selected from the existing troops that had already been formed, and the remaining personnel after selection would be accepted by the troops.

When several people were satisfied, Qin Duan was still pondering, the problem of talent is one of the biggest problems at present, especially the development and construction of a place is inseparable from the support of enough talents, he should be soberly aware of the current bad situation, the ancients, it is difficult to fight the country, it is even more difficult to sit on the country, it seems that there is indeed a reason for him, now he lacks not only money, but also a large number of talents.

Just when Qin Duan was having a headache for talents and finances, in the capital thousands of miles away, the people in the capital were disturbed by several bad news in a row.

The Duchy of Milan in the north was destroyed by the northern powers of the Sith Empire and the Russo-Saudi Empire, and these two powers could enter the empire's territory at any time, and even the Northwest Powers of the Humble Hungarian State had 100,000 iron horsemen attacking the Northwest Tokugawa Prefecture, and they could occupy the entire northwest at any time.

Although the cabinet has ordered a strict crackdown on the speech of the people, all kinds of rumors are still rampant and cannot be stopped. The Great Qin Imperial Press and Publication Administration also strictly forbade major newspapers to publish news about the defeat of the empire, otherwise they would be seized on the grounds of affecting national security. At this time, the news of the Tokugawa Prefecture Warden Qin Dui leading the Tokugawa army to defeat the Huns at Tokugawa Prefecture reached the capital.

"Extra! Extra! The Imperial Tokugawa army defeated the Hungarian invasion army in one fell swoop under the command of Qin Dui, the commander of Tokugawa County, and completely annihilated more than 30,000 enemy troops, and the Humble Invasion Army fled back to the steppe! Sir, five copper coins, why did it rise twice. Here's the latest news, expensive? Yesterday's message didn't want money, so do you want it? ”

"What's new! The Huns handed over the money to buy 30,000 fine war horses and rolled back to their hometown! For more information, check out Empire News! ”

"Five days of bloody battle, winning more with less, brilliant results. Who is the match! Portrait of Tokugawa Castle Commander Qin Dui, Miss, do you want it? All you need is a silver coin, and you will get a resume! ”

Since the major newspapers and periodicals of the Great Qin Empire sent reporters to various places, among which the reporter of the "Daily Express" happened to be in the northwest county, which was very close to Tokugawa County, after learning about the situation, this reporter was very clever, and immediately felt the shock of the news, and immediately hired someone to ride a horse overnight to send the news back to the capital. As a result, this person was detained by the soldiers because of an argument with the soldiers guarding the gate when he arrived in the capital, and in a fit of anger, he said that he had come to report the good news, and was stabbed to the reporter of the "Imperial News" after learning of the situation.

On the Palace of the Imperial Palace in the capital, Zhao Youxiao reversed his irritable mood a few days ago and became very excited. The face also looked amiable, and the battle report and several newspapers in front of the imperial case had already been read a few times. What does it mean to never get tired of watching, probably this is the mood. "Ladies and gentlemen, this battle report is too simple and boring, and I can't compare to the writing of these newspapers at all!"

His Royal Highness's ministers were in a very comfortable mood when they saw His Majesty the Emperor, and they all congratulated His Majesty the Emperor one after another. After all, this is a long time since the Great Qin Empire has had such a good news on the battlefield, especially when the Principality of Milan, a vassal state of the empire, was defeated by the Sith Empire and the Russo-Saudi Empire.

"Wei Ban'er, whether the situation of this battle report is accurate or not, don't miscommunicate. I can't afford to lose this man anymore. Zhao Youxiao walked around in front of the imperial case in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this information has been reviewed many times, and there should be no problem." Wei Zhongxian replied respectfully.

"Very good, very good, more than 30,000 enemies were annihilated, 30,000 war horses were captured, and the results were abundant, this Qin Duan really did not disappoint me, there is really nothing wrong with letting him be the county guard of Tokugawa County, he is really an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, if our Great Qin Empire can have a few more such talents, why dare the small countries on the border dare to risk the sky." Zhao Youxiao said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qin Dui Qin has made such a great contribution, do you want to reward him well?"

Wei Zhongxian said, after all, Qin Duan is from the eunuch faction, and he has made such a great contribution, and his face is also bright.

"Well, a rare talent, I want to reward him heavily, what do you have to do about it?" Zhao Youxiao was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Tokugawa army could have completely annihilated the 100,000 Huns, and we, the Lord of the Tokugawa County Guard Qin Dusk, let the Huns go privately for the sake of 30,000 war horses."

Xu Sancai, the secretary of the ministry, came out and said, as Qin Dui's enemy, Xu Sancai absolutely did not want to see Qin Dui get any reward.

"The minister has also heard that this matter of Qin Dui letting go of the Huns without permission has spread among the people." Cheng Maocai, the secretary of the ministry, also came out and said.

"Well, is that so?"

Emperor Zhao Youxiao of the Apocalypse asked very unhappily, it is really unlucky, it is rare to have good news, why are these people so uninteresting.

"Lord Xu, Lord Cheng, why don't we know about this thing in Dongchang?" Wei Zhongxian stared at Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai fiercely and asked.

"This, maybe Grandpa Wei hasn't received this information yet."

Xu Sancai said with some embarrassment, almost forgetting that Qin Duan had someone who would support him in the court, and he was a member of the eunuch faction.

"I wonder if any other adult has heard such rumors about Daoguo?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"I haven't heard of it."

"I don't know."

"I've never heard of such rumors."

Soon, the officials in the health hall either said that they didn't know, or shook their heads, or no one said that they had heard such rumors, everyone was not stupid, and at this time, didn't they feel uncomfortable talking about Qin Duan?

That is, Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai, two people who are carried away by hatred, will stupidly say such unfounded words.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Wei Zhongxian said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Say, there's nothing bad to say."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly, what was originally happy was made boring by these two uninteresting guys.

"As far as the old slave knows, Lord Xu and Lord Cheng have a grudge against Lord Qin Duan, and Lord Xu and Master Cheng once said that sooner or later they will make Lord Qin Duqin look good."

Wei Zhongxian pointed to Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai and said, there are few people in the capital who don't know about this matter, so Wei Zhongxian, as the commander of Dongchang, of course knows about this matter.

"Oh, and such a thing?" Emperor Zhao Youxiao of the Apocalypse was surprised, "Xu Aiqing, Cheng Aiqing, is this true?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty."

Xu Sancai was frightened and immediately knelt down and shouted, at this time Xu Sancai couldn't wait to slap himself, he had nothing to say about what he was doing, isn't this looking for death?

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also guilty, please forgive the emperor."

Cheng Maocai also immediately knelt down and shouted, at this time, Cheng Maocai complained a little about Xu Sancai in his heart, if he hadn't said this, he wouldn't have spoken up.

"Okay, very good, how could our Great Qin Empire produce such a bastard official as you, narrow-minded, jealous and jealous, communiqué personal vendetta, even at this time, still thinking about murdering the heroes of our Great Qin Empire, what is the use of you people, our Great Qin Empire has come to this point, just because there are a few more people in the court who want you like you, and someone will pull them out and cut them down for me." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily.

"Your Majesty, although Lord Cheng and Lord Xu are at fault, their crimes are not to death, please spare their lives." Ye Xianggao listed Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai as pleasing.

"Please forgive the lives of Lord Cheng and Lord Xu." People from the Donglin faction came out one after another to plead.

"Today is a day of great joy, and I will spare your lives." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill." The two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, pull me out and play 20 boards, expel me from the capital, and never be hired." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said.

Soon a few guards came out and pulled Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai out, at this time, no one pleaded with them anymore, it was already very good to be able to save their lives, and they wanted to go unpunished, it was impossible, if they wanted to blame themselves, at this time, they still said something like that, isn't this looking for trouble for themselves?

"By the way, where did you just go?" After dealing with Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai, Zhao Youxiao, who was in a good mood, asked.

"Your Majesty, I just talked about rewarding Lord Qin Dusk Qin." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about how to reward Qin Dui, a great hero?" Zhao Youxiao asked.

"Your Majesty, you can give Lord Qin Dusk Qin the title." An official asked.

The titles of the Great Qin Empire are divided into six levels: king, duke, marquis, earl, son, and male, among which the prince is the highest, and the law of the Great Qin Empire stipulates that non-Zhao surnames are not allowed to be called kings, and the status of barons is the lowest, which is equivalent to the magistrate of Jiupin, but officials of the same level, officials with titles, have higher status than officials without titles, and titles can be hereditary, and those who have titles belong to the privileged class, even if they are not officials, they also have privileges.

The Great Qin Empire is very strict in the management of titles, there is no special contribution, and it is not allowed to be knighted, and only the emperor of the Great Qin Empire has the right to knight those who have dukes, and no other person or department has this power.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll make Qin Dui the Marquis of Yongsheng, and reward him with 10,000 taels of gold, I hope he can live up to my hopes and guard the northwest border pass for me!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought for a moment and said.

Under the imperial seal of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the imperial administration appeared to be extremely efficient, and the next day, the notice on conferring the title of Marquis of Yongsheng was transmitted to the administrative organs at all levels in the Great Qin Empire.
