Chapter 52: The Appointment Turmoil
The departure of Mo Tianyi and Wu Man'er greatly damaged the morale of the entire elite team. Before, they were already a little depressed when the mission to transport ore failed, but at this moment, for the elite team, it was the real nerve-wracking.
Perhaps, it was the appearance of Mo Tianyi and others that made Martial God Mountain intervene in the failure of this mission, and did not make the rulers make any punishment for this small group of hundreds.
However, today's 100-member regiment is mostly damaged and incomplete, which will also doom them to be unable to carry out their missions for a long time in the future.
Fortunately, the discipline of the army is strict, and even if the morale of the entire 100-member regiment is low, it can still maintain its normal operation.
However, half a month after Mo Tianyi and the two left the elite team, an appointment once again made this group of 100 people the focus of attention.
"Former centurion Duan You, who unfortunately died in the mission to transport ore, was specially approved by the government to triple the remuneration to comfort his relatives. The rest of the soldiers who died in the line of duty were paid double their remuneration according to the position they served. At the same time, in view of the outstanding performance of Lin Zeyu in the execution of the ore transportation this time, he is specially appointed as the new centurion ββFirst Marshal's Decree!"
This First Marshal's Mansion is the direct boss of the legion where He Yifei and others are located. It was also this brief announcement and appointment that moved the entire military department, and even the magnates of the entire Sifang City.
Remuneration is the remuneration paid by a soldier during his compulsory military service, which can be regarded as a reward for the ruler to take care of the soldiers.
The proportion of remuneration is directly related to the size of the official position held by the soldier. Moreover, the more high-ranking officers are, the higher the remuneration they receive. Even a small centurion would be paid several times more than an ordinary soldier for a year.
Of course, the soldiers were not moved by the comfort of these things outside their bodies, and the burial of a fresh life was only two or three times the remuneration, which was not a real bereavement for relatives.
However, the appointment of Lin Zeyu made many veterans unable to sit still.
In terms of qualifications, Lin Zeyu has joined the army for less than half a year, and even as a disciple of Martial God Mountain, there has never been such a precedent for such a jump appointment.
In terms of merit, Lin Zeyu only has the merit of protecting the centurion, and besides, the centurion Duan You did not successfully escape because of Lin Zeyu's protection. Such a small credit is not even comparable to the senior ten commanders in some legions.
However, there was no doubt that the Marshal's Office had issued such a ridiculous appointment. Even though the subordinate regiments were very dissatisfied with the appointment, the Marshal's Office still insisted on its opinion. Even, it doesn't come up with any reasonable explanation.
"Is this Marshal's Mansion crazy? How is a rookie qualified to sit in the position of centurion? Is it just based on his qualifications as a disciple of Martial God Mountain?"
The most controversial thing is that He Yifei's hundred-member group, Ye Luoxian, who has a very high opinion of himself, is also unable to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart at this time, and he unscrupulously makes nonsense in front of everyone.
"Yes, after so many years, how have you ever seen such a hasty appointment in the Marshal's Palace? Think about it, how many people are fighting with their lives just to make meritorious contributions. In the end, until the moment of retirement, he is just a small ten-captain!"
Hua gradually agreed with Ye Luoxian's point of view, and under the excitement, his dancing hands even trembled slightly.
"When he became a centurion, his remuneration was a lot of money......
He Yifei also shook his head when he thought of the meagre remuneration he had not yet distributed, the price of a set of clothes that he once fancied in the Boshi also needed to accumulate more than half a year's remuneration.
"Phew, rookie, what do you want? What is that kind of remuneration?"
Hearing that He Yifei was still concerned about those things outside his body at this time, Ye Luoxian suddenly became angry, and he rushed towards He Yifei while shouting, looking like he wanted to teach this reckless boy a lesson.
"Fourth brother, you calm down, Brother He just came, and he still doesn't understand some things!"
Fortunately, Huo Yingqi was sitting next to He Yifei, and he got up suddenly, so that he stopped the irritable Ye Luoxian and spared He Yifei the pain of a meal.
"Brother He, don't talk, some things are not as simple as you see!"
It was difficult for everyone to accept He Yifei's remarks, even Huo Yingqi, who was closest to him, felt that He Yifei's interjection this time seemed to be full of great irony.
When had He Yifei seen Ye Luoxian lose such a big temper, he had already been shocked by Ye Luoxian's angry momentum, and his body instinctively dodged backwards.
At the same time, He Yifei looked at his teammates around him with a trembling face, seeing that they were all shooting murderous lights towards him, and in the end, he could only lower his head aggrievedly, not daring to intervene in everyone's conversation.
"Fourth brother, I think we have to unite the rest of the team and protest to the Marshal's Mansion together. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter will have to be implemented like this!"
Yi Shuichuan thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with such a joint protest.
"No, if we join forces to protest, no matter what the final success or failure is, the legion alone will not be able to spare us. What's more, if we can't prevent Lin Zeyu from becoming a centurion, then how can we have any good fruit to eat with such a reckless move today?"
The calm Luo Yuanhou is still very aware of current affairs, and he took the lead in vetoing Yi Shuichuan's proposal without waiting for everyone to make any statement.
"What are you afraid of? Big deal, let's not wear this clothes anymore! Manly man, where do you go, you still can't eat a mouthful?"
The impulsive Yi Shuichuan insisted on his own views at this time, perhaps, in his eyes, there was only the reckless idea of becoming a benevolent if he did not succeed.
"Eighth brother, calm down, do you have the same deep background as the eldest brother?
Hearing Yi Shuichuan's self-defeating rhetoric, Luo Yuan Hou suddenly felt angry, his eyebrows furrowed, and he scolded Yi Shuichuan loudly.
"Yes, I'm not as lucky as my big brother. However, I still have some backbone and dare to say 'no' to any unfairness!"
Yi Shuichuan heard Luo Yuanhou's scolding, and his heart also aroused a sense of stubbornness, his eyes widened, and his tone of voice also increased by a few points because of emotional fluctuations.
"It's just you! You don't know this recruit as well! If I'm not mistaken, you're still in the 10-year compulsory period, right? Do you remember what will happen to you if you are expelled from the army during the compulsory period?"
Luo Yuanhou was also very annoyed when he saw that Yi Shuichuan was so oily and salty, and in his excitement, he actually pointed to He Yifei on the side and compared it with Yi Shuichuan.
"Okay! Don't make any noise! This matter can't be solved by impulse! Fourth brother, in my opinion, you might as well go to the barracks of the other squads and find out what brilliant ideas they have?"
Nie Jiuzhen saw that a quarrel had started between his brothers, so he had to get up to calm the situation.
"Lao Wu is right, brainstorming can come up with the most effective plan. Don't argue yet, I'll go around the other squads. β
Ye Luoxian heard Nie Jiuzhen's proposal, and after analyzing it, he also thought it was feasible. After that, he no longer cared about Luo Yuanhou and Yi Shuichuan, who were arguing, and walked out of the barracks alone.
Although Ye Luoxian left, the barracks did not quiet down, and over time, more people joined in the debate, one by one, holding their own opinions and chattering non-stop.
Not long after the appointment of the Marshal's Palace, in a mysterious ice cave, a plump and gorgeously dressed woman was lying on her side on the luxurious soft collapse of the cave, indulging in the wine in her hand.
"Madam, there is news from Sifang City, that kid has been appointed centurion!"
A servant quietly walked to the woman's side and whispered back.
"Haha! Looks like the show is about to begin!"
The woman was in a good mood when she heard the servant's return, and she sat up suddenly, her eyes fixed on the wine that swayed in her glass, as if waiting for the most beautiful bloom.
"Hmph, what about the Martial God Venerable? Isn't it the same as being held in the palm of my hand and at my mercy?"
The woman's face turned to a look of contempt, and she muttered softly, and then, with a lift of her arm, she drank the wine in one gulp.
