Chapter 9 Promotion

"Commander, in fact, he can hold on to that day, it all depends on the soldiers to forget about life, and the kid really has no merit." Xu Haifeng decided to advance as retreat, and would rather not reward than continue the topic. In fact, since he was hit by an arrow, he has been hiding in the battlement, and before Xiang Ming's reinforcements arrived, he had not been on the wall at all, and he had specially found ten people to protect himself full-time, if this fact was known, it would definitely cause a more sensational effect than before.

Gu Dao looked at him carefully for a long time, until his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and then he laughed loudly: "Young people, it is good not to be arrogant or impatient, but you don't have to be too humble, you must know that youth is also a kind of wealth, and being aggressive is what you should do." ”

Xu Haifeng secretly let out a sigh, he heard that Gu Dao had already indicated that he did not intend to continue to investigate, and hurriedly took over the topic: "Yes, the kid has been taught, and he will definitely follow the teachings of the handsome man in the future, and he will not dare to make mistakes." ”

Gu Dao has countless experiences in his life, and he easily let go of this topic, which is because he has his own mystery in his heart, and he is not worried that Xu Haifeng will not take the bait.

"Xu Haifeng, your merits are also reported to the imperial court, and after Your Majesty knows about it, he will specially issue a decree to reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, as for the official position......"

Xu Haifeng's heart was adjusted all of a sudden, if he didn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, it would be self-deception, 10,000 taels of silver was already a huge fortune that he couldn't think of before, listening to Gu Dao's tone, it seemed that his career was also very good, and his heart suddenly became hot.

Seeing Xu Haifeng's happy appearance, Gu Dao couldn't grasp what kind of person he was, if he didn't covet glory and wealth, then his performance at the moment was obviously a person who was keen on fame and fortune, but when he talked about his exploits, he showed a selfless and indifferent look to fame and fortune, and there was no usual means to add fuel and vinegar and pretend to receive meritorious deeds. Such a disparate contradictory performance made him puzzled.

However, since he had a plan in his heart, he would not change at this moment, and said to Xu Haifeng at the moment: "The more than 5,000 people of the fifth column of the Western Battalion survived the last battle, and only one hundred and twenty-four people remained, and almost all the troops were wiped out. As is customary, the establishment should be abolished. However, the Fifth Column showed incomparable bravery and courage on the battlefield, and its reputation was the best in the whole army, and in order to commend and encourage, we decided to make a special case to reorganize the Fifth Column, and gave it the name of the 'Black Flag Army', and you were temporarily appointed as the commander of the Fifth Column. ”

Xu Haifeng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't believe his ears for a while. Seeing this, Xiang Ming next to him hurriedly poked him and whispered, "Don't thank you yet." ”

Xu Haifeng woke up like a dream, stepped forward and knelt down on his knees: "Thank you for your grace, the handsome and kind boy will always remember it in his heart and never dare to forget." ”

The military establishment of the Han Empire was basically divided into ten-man squads, hundred-man squadrons, and thousand-man brigades, and these captains were all middle- and lower-level officers. A team of more than 1,000 people is called a column, and the number of people in each column is different, ranging from 3,000 to 10,000. The official position of the column commander is at least a partial general, and although the partial general is the lowest level of general, after all, he has already entered the ranks of generals. General, the biggest dream of every soldier is to become a general one day, but there is only one in ten thousand who can realize this dream. How many heroes and heroes stop at the level of a thousand people, if there is no background or is appreciated by high-ranking people, no matter how capable a person is, he can only be a thousand people in his life. It can be said that as long as you pass this level, the future is bright.

Half a year ago, Xu Haifeng was just a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky, and two months ago, Xu Haifeng was just a little recruit who had just come out of the training camp, but now that it is over, he will step into the sky and become a general.

Whether it is Xu Haifeng or Xiang Ming, they never thought that Gu Dao was so bold that he would let a person with only half a year of military experience be a partial general, they originally thought that being able to be promoted to a full-time position is the limit, but the current situation is a leap into the dragon gate, which makes people unable to adapt for a while, so Xu Haifeng is so out of shape.

"However, the ugly theory is ahead, and the current shortage of troops is tight, and the fifth column can only form 3,000 people for the time being. And I can only give you 2,000 recruits, 500 demobilized soldiers, and 500 more to choose from in the slave camps. Gu Dao was not surprised to see him behave like this, if he had experienced this matter himself, he was afraid that it would not be much better than Xu Haifeng.

"Yes, boy...... The subordinate obeyed. Seeing Xiang Ming shaking his head at him slightly, he immediately reacted and quickly changed his words.

"Well, in your opinion, how long does it take for the fifth column to form combat effectiveness?" Gu Dao Fu continued to ask.

Xu Haifeng frowned, this question is not easy to answer. There is a big difference in the criteria for forming combat effectiveness, and both elite troops and local units have combat effectiveness, but they are definitely not of the same grade. It is even more difficult for a group of recruits and some demobilized soldiers and slave soldiers to form combat effectiveness, and if it is an ordinary person training, it will take at least half a year or more. But since Gu Dashuai asked on the spot, it was obviously an assessment, if he couldn't meet the standard in his heart, I was afraid that this acting column captain might really continue to act.

"Three months is enough." Xu Haifeng pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Okay, young man's courage is commendable, I will give you three months, if you can bring out a team like a hundred alchemists, I will officially recommend you to the position of partial general, but if your team is vulnerable by then, then you will go down and become a hundred people." Gu Dao stood up with his hands in his hands, and the final word was made.

"Yes, marshal, the last general has another request."

Gu Dao Bearded Heart Dao is coming, and if he can be sure of forming combat effectiveness in such a period of time, he must have a unique training technique, and he wants to see what conditions he mentioned, so he asked amicably: "If you have any requirements, you can mention them." ”

"The last general requests that all the soldiers be exchanged for slave soldiers, and that no one interfere during the training of the last general."

"What? All for slave soldiers? Are you sure? "Gu Dao is really strange this time, if he wants to maintain the secret means and efficiency of military training, then the second one must not interfere with the past, but the first requirement to use all slave soldiers is simply a madman's behavior.

There are roughly three types of reserve soldiers in the army, the most popular is the kind of demobilized soldiers, who were injured in the previous battle, but not fatally, and will not end up crippled, and return to the battlefield after treatment, such soldiers do not need to be trained, and can be directly integrated into most armies.

The second is the recruits, who have only been in the boot camp for a few months, have not experienced the battlefield, and are far inferior in combat effectiveness to demobilized soldiers.

The last type is the slave soldier who has no freedom in life. Slave soldiers come from a wide range of sources, most of them are prisoners from all over the world, as well as death row prisoners in the empire, entering the slave barracks, which is equivalent to one foot has stepped into the ghost gate. Slave soldiers are simply synonymous with cannon fodder on the battlefield. So their morale is the worst of all the troops, and people are running away almost every day.

The rest of the generals selected the troops, and they all asked for demobilized soldiers first, and then asked for new soldiers, and as for the slave soldiers, they were basically ignored. Today, Xu Haifeng went the other way, did not want any demobilized soldiers and recruits, and directly selected slave soldiers, of course, which surprised Gu Dao Fei, who had been tested by war for a long time, and he even wondered in his heart whether Xu Haifeng's training method was too domineering, and it was easy to cause casualties in Chengren, so he chose those slave soldiers who were not noticed.

"Okay, everything is as you want it to be, but in three months, I want to see results."

"Please rest assured, the lower official will not let you down."

After Xu Haifeng and Xiang Ming left, a person walked out of the back hall, and it was Cheng Ming, the staff member who led the way before. Just look at his ability to enter and exit the front and back halls freely, and you know that his status is not ordinary.

"Uncle, is it too rash for you to appoint him as the leader of the column like this?" Cheng Ming stepped forward and saluted and said.

"In Ming'er's opinion, what is the strength of my subordinate Sky Eagle Legion?" Gu Dao didn't answer directly, but asked.

"The Aquila Legion is one of the five major legions of the Empire, with 100,000 soldiers in armor, and many achievements, which can be called the world's first-class army." Cheng Ming had a proud look on his face, he was indeed such a strong army, which was rare in the world.

"You've also seen the confession of the pawn, so what do you think the combat effectiveness of the Sky Eagle Legion compares to that of Xu Haifeng's subordinates?"

This time, Cheng Ming no longer spoke immediately, and after a long while, he said stupidly: "If they don't exaggerate, I'm afraid it's slightly inferior." ”

Gu Dao shook his head and said: "It's not just a little inferior, if those soldiers don't boast, the comparison between the two is simply a world away." I really want to see if there really are such strong soldiers in this world. Today, I have appointed him as the acting commander of the column, and if he is really capable, he will definitely go all out in order to become a regular and will not dare to hide his clumsiness. Three months later, the results were known. ”

"I see, my uncle is clever." Cheng Ming continued: "Then whether to send a few people to pretend to be slaves and blend into their army, you should understand the mystery. ”

"Since he is in our army, sooner or later the truth will be revealed, and there is no need to be so anxious now, in case he finds out, it will be a bad thing."

"Yes, nephew understands, then let's wait and see."

"Yes, you pass on the order, Xu Haifeng will give him all the baggage personnel he needs, and no department shall be allowed to stay in trouble for any reason, otherwise military law will be involved." Gu Dao's last sentence suddenly aggravated his tone, and a domineering murderous aura spread far away, making Cheng Ming beside him shiver greatly. A generation of heroes really has its fierce and terrifying side.
