Chapter 10 Reward
"Hahahaha...... Okay, good! Brother Yang, you have made a great contribution, I will immediately enter the palace, dedicate these three things to Your Majesty, ask him to issue an edict to promote the whole army, and at the same time ask Your Majesty for your merits. ”
After Meng Yi was happy, he turned his horse's head and ran back, and when he came to Yang Yifei's side, he stopped his horse and laughed and said to Yang Yifei.
Yang Yifei hugged his fists and smiled: "Then thank you to the general for your support, but no matter what reward Your Majesty has, there is only one request for your subordinates, that is, never transfer the Meng family army, otherwise your subordinates would rather not be rewarded, even if they are a pawn by the general's side." ”
Meng Yi was slightly shocked, he glanced at Yang Yifei deeply, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Yi will live up to his brother's affection in this life." ”
……
The two returned to the Meng Mansion, Meng Yi asked Yang Yifei to wait for news in the mansion, and he himself led the black wind to Xianyang Palace.
The saddle stirrup is not removed, and when the time comes, it is much better to ask His Majesty directly to see the finished product than to offer three objects alone.
Yang Yifei waited in Mengfu for nearly an hour and a half, and Meng Yi returned with a spring breeze, but Hei Feng's body was empty, but it was left by the first emperor and handed over to the "Shaofu" in charge of logistics as a sample, so that it could be manufactured in large quantities.
came with Meng Yi, and there were several internal officials, who came to announce the decree, "The First Emperor issued an edict, and Yang Yifei took the decree." ”
Yang Yifei clenched his fists and knelt on one knee, and announced the official in the decree: "Today, there is a soldier Yang Yifei, a native of Guangyang County, who has meritorious service in offering saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, and has given him a knight and a doctor, and he has a salary of 300 stones. ”
Yang Yifei said: "The last general will lead the order, Emperor Xie Wu." ”
The title is not high, it still belongs to the lower-level scholars, and the military position also belongs to the grassroots backbone level, but these are all expected by Yang Yifei.
The so-called Shinong industry and commerce, engaged in invention and creation, belong to the "worker" class, ranking third, and it is whimsical to want to be in a high position with this little thing.
In this era, everything must be based on military merits, and the fastest way to promote is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, although the three things that Yang Yifei sacrificed have a significant effect on the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness, but this is still not comparable with the combat merits after all.
The Qin Dynasty adopted a 20-level military merit title system, corresponding to scholars, doctors, secretaries, and marquis.
The scholar class is divided into: first-class public scholar, second-level upper building, third-level hairpin, and fourth-level hairpin.
The doctor class is divided into: fifth-level doctors, sixth-level official doctors, seventh-level public doctors, eighth-level public doctors, and ninth-level five doctors.
The Qing class is divided into: 10 levels of left chief, 11 levels of right chief, 12 levels of left watch, 13 levels of middle watch, 14 levels of right watch, 15 levels of less upper building, 16th level of large upper construction, 17th level of carriage chief, 18th level of large chief.
The Hou class is only the nineteenth level of the Guannei Hou, and the twentieth level of the Chehou two levels.
In order to reward military exploits, it was stipulated that all people in the army, regardless of their origins, would be rewarded according to the size of their military exploits, even if they were in the clan, and those who did not make military merits in the clan were not allowed to be included in the clan books and not have titles.
Ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, as long as they can behead the enemy's armor first-class (that is, kill an enemy in armor), they can obtain the first-class title of duke, and the reward of the duke is a hectare of fields, a house and a servant, and the more beheading, the higher the title.
If the beheading is two levels, if there are relatives in the family who are criminals, they can be released from prison immediately, and if the wife is a slave, they can also be converted to civilians, and the beheading of the fifth level is awesome, and you can eat five households.
This is an ordinary soldier, a soldier or officer who has a knighthood in his own right, in addition to killing the enemy and having military exploits, but also looking at the overall victory or defeat, the scale of the war to a certain extent, as long as the battle is won, it can be promoted to one to three levels, and almost everyone who survives has a reward.
In addition, military exploits can be passed from father to son, if both father and son are soldiers, and the father dies in battle, his merits can be credited to the son.
In short, this is a fair era, as long as you are willing to fight with your life and come back alive, you will inevitably become the highest social status of the noble class.
Yang Yifei has never been on the battlefield, and he has never cut the first-level head, and it is already good to be able to mix the title of a sixth-level official doctor by offering saddles and other things, in fact, compared to the 300 stone for the elderly, what he values more is the 100 generals, an officer the size of a sesame mung bean.
In the military system of the Qin Dynasty, the grassroots troops were five people as a team, with a team chief, two troops for ten, a chief, five tithes for a tun, a tun chief, two tuns for a team, and a hundred generals, that is to say, Yang Yifei, a hundred generals, could be in charge of a hundred soldiers.
Less is less, but it is his own army, and it is still a great help to him.
After sending off the internal officials who announced the decree, Meng Yi couldn't wait to go to the craftsman and asked them to make another set of harnesses.
……
At three o'clock the next day, Meng Yi and Yang Yifei were neatly draped, each rode on a war horse, and when they came out of Xianyang City from the east along the street, Nangong Yan and other generals were already waiting here.
After each of them said hello, the group urged their horses to gallop towards the camp, and they had to arrive at the barracks before the hour to carry out the mam.
After running for more than 20 miles to the northeast, in the misty morning light, a vast and continuous camp appeared in Yang Yifei's eyes.
Yesterday, he already knew from Meng Yi that there were 30,000 Mengjia troops stationed in Xianyang, and his guards numbered 2,000 people.
In the huge school field, the people of various departments quickly assembled, and the so-called point was called by name, in the words of later generations, to check the incumbents, and then the chief officer arranged today's training or work.
Meng Yi, the chief general, pointed out all the subordinate officers, and then the chief officers of each subordinate subordinated officer pointed the junior officers, and finally each grassroots team took the team as a small unit and pointed it out separately.
Although this is a formality, but this passing must be done, the key is not to be late, even if the process is perfunctory, you have to be there at the time.
The large unit in the military system of the Qin Dynasty is called the ministry and the song, 4,000 people are a part, the chief officer is a captain, 2,000 people are a song, the chief officer is the military marquis, and the Mengjia army is 30,000 people, except for a song of the Mengyi guards, there are seven departments and 14 songs.
It was the personnel who were ordered by Meng Yi, that is, seven captains, fourteen military marquis, plus Nangong Yan, the deputy general, a total of twenty-two people, all of whom were among the people who fought against Yang Yifei yesterday.
The people who besieged Yang Yifei yesterday, in addition to these chiefs, there are also thirteen military positions, although they are only "two or five hundred masters" (the chief officer of the thousand-person troops) and five hundred masters (the chief officer of the five-hundred-person troops), but the people who already have the title of food and eup, they usually go back to the city together when they are resting, and they return to the camp together the next day.
Because of this, all the high-level officers of the Mengjia Army already knew Yang Yifei, and they knew very well in their hearts that Yang Yifei was probably the number one master in the Mengjia Army.
