Chapter 25 Rectification
Zhang Ba, who was standing behind Xue Wanche, was ecstatic when he heard this, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Xue Wanche and said, "The last general!"
"The deputy regiment of the pro-military battalion is Zhang Ba, who took the lead in this battle, beheaded more than 30 ranks, and even killed the enemy chief Hirano Naotai in one fell swoop!
That Hirano Naotai was actually shot by Xue Wanche, but it was still counted on Zhang Ba's head. After all, Zhang Ba had already seriously injured Naotai Hirano, even if Xue Wanche didn't make a move, Naotai Hirano would die sooner or later.
But hearing Xue Wanche's commendation, Zhang Ba's face suddenly darkened! According to his thoughts, after this battle, the position of the pro-soldier battalion that had been hanging empty all the time had to fall on his head. Unexpectedly, the regiment was not fished, but was released to be a deputy brigade leader!
The military positions of the Northern Yan Kingdom, from the smallest team leader, to the ninth rank platoon, the eighth rank company are positive, the seventh rank battalion is positive, the sixth rank is the regimental leader, the fifth rank brigade is positive, the fourth grade division is positive, and finally the third rank is the governor, and then it is a false title, and it is not actually leading the troops. For example, Xue Wanche's title of General Zhenguo is the highest level of fictitious title.
In this system of military ranks, it is extremely difficult to move up the ranks. Hou Fatzi has been in the army for 20 years, and he is just a seven-grade battalion. And Zhao Tieyan has been mixed for almost ten years, and he is only the smallest team, and he doesn't even have a grade, which shows how difficult it is to be promoted.
Zhang Ba used to be the deputy regimental chief of the sixth grade, and he was promoted to the deputy brigade of the fifth grade, which can be regarded as a step to the sky in the eyes of outsiders.
But that's not the case.
The 1,000 iron cavalry of this pro-military camp were all carefully selected from the 200,000 or so Liaodong Army, and all of them were the best and all of them were strong! One in a hundred miles is not enough to describe the elite among this elite.
And every iron-armored heavy cavalry in the pro-barracks was piled up with silver! There were the finest thoroughbred horses, the most solid and heavy black iron heavy armor, the most sophisticated weapons, the best food, and the highest salaries.
Commanding such an elite army is definitely different from an ordinary army! Although the hussar battalion is also an elite division in the Liaodong Army, the gap between it and the pro-soldier battalion is not half a star!
Generally speaking, generals who go out of the pro-military camp have to rise by one level out of thin air, even if they are promoted by two levels, it is not too uncommon. Moreover, there were more than 20,000 people in the hussar battalion, and the bigger officers were brigade leaders, deputy division leaders, and division leaders. A mere deputy brigade is really nothing!
Calculated in this way, it is no wonder that Zhang Ba wants to blackface.
Although Zhang Ba was extremely unhappy in his heart, he still said in his mouth: "The last general thanked the general!" After speaking, he lowered his head, blackened his face, and got up and still stood behind Xue Wanche.
This little Jiujiu in Zhang Ba's heart, how could Xue Wanche not know. However, Xue Wanche didn't see it, just because in this battle, Xue Wanche was actually quite disappointed with Zhang Ba's performance.
I think that at the beginning, Xue Wanche took a fancy to Zhang Ba's courage on the battlefield, so he always took it with him to train him, hoping to train a commander general. It's a pity that after so many years, this guy has grown very little, and he is really not a material to be in charge of himself, so he had to let it out.
Where could Zhang Ba understand Xue Wanche's hard work, he just stared at Xue Wanche's back with cruel eyes, and from then on, he felt resentment in his heart.
At this time, I only heard Xue Wanche continue: "Hou Sancai, go to the general's stage!"
Hou Sancai is the name of Hou Fatzi. Hou Fatzi, who was standing at the head of Zhou Hao's team, was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he still had his own business, so he hurriedly ran to the stage, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last will be!"
"The third battalion of the pro-soldier battalion is the marquis of the three talents, who beheaded more than 20 levels in this battle, captured the enemy alive before the battle, and obtained major military information, which is the first merit. And he said that he was sympathetic to his subordinates, commanded the troops in a good way, and was rewarded according to his merits, and was promoted to the deputy head of the pro-military battalion, with a reward of 300 taels of silver!"
"What? Deputy Tuanzheng!" Hou Fatzi was immediately stunned.
Happiness came too suddenly! This pie that fell from the sky was too huge, so that the unprepared Hou Fat Man thought that he was completely dreaming!
"Don't thank Lao Tzu yet!" Xue Wanche kicked on Hou Fatzi's fat belly and scolded in a low voice.
Hou Fatzi woke up and said dizzily: "The last general thanked the general!"
The position of this pro-barracks regiment has been vacant since the previous regiment was killed on the battlefield in the west two years ago. Therefore, the deputy regiment is the actual head of this thousand iron horses.
Hou Fatzi is not the deepest in this pro-military camp, his military exploits are not the greatest, and his cultivation is not the highest, but the position of the deputy regimental leader just fell on his head!
Hou Fatzi, who was smashed by the pie falling from the sky, didn't even know how he got off the stage. After standing back in his place, he still had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Zhang Ba, who was bent on being promoted, did not make a good profit; Hou Fatzi, who did not have the slightest psychological preparation, became a big winner! This celebration party was really unexpected!
At this time, Xue Wanche, who was only listening to the general's platform, continued to say loudly: "Zhou Hao, go to the general's platform!"
Zhou Hao was stunned when he heard this, the previous rewards were all officers, but he didn't expect that there was also a matter of his own big soldier.
Zhao Tieyan, who was beside him, saw that Zhou Hao was in a daze, and quickly kicked Zhou Hao and said, "What are you stunned, hurry up!"
"Oh!" Zhou Hao turned around, hurriedly ran to the stage, knelt down on one knee in front of Xue Wanche, hesitated slightly, and said loudly: "The big-headed soldier Zhou Hao is here!"
Hearing Zhou Hao's self-proclaimedness, the audience suddenly snickered.
Even Xue Wanche was amused by Zhou Hao: "Hahaha, you kid, it's really funny!
"Hou Tou, they are officials, and they can call themselves the last general! I am a big soldier, of course, I can only call myself like this!" Zhou Hao buried his head and replied confidently.
"Haha, good, good! The big-headed soldier will be the big-headed soldier! But after today, your kid will no longer be a big-headed soldier!" Xue Wanche continued to say in a loud voice: "Zhou Hao, a soldier of the third battalion of the pro-soldier battalion, although he has just entered the battle formation, he is brave and fearless, and he bravely kills the enemy, and he has beheaded more than 100 levels in this battle, and the whole army is the first to kill the enemy! Capturing the enemy alive before the battle is the first merit! Sneaking up on the enemy's camp gate is the first merit! According to the merit, he should be rewarded, and he will be promoted to the third battalion of the pro-soldier platoon, and the reward will be 700 taels of silver!"
"Haha, seven hundred taels! It's dozens of taels more!" Zhou Hao directly ignored the reward of promoting him to the right one, and only paid attention to the seven hundred taels of silver.
Seeing that Zhou Hao didn't react for a long time, Xue Wanche scolded: "What's the matter? I'm so happy? Thank you Lao Tzu!"
Although this rank of officials is small, only in charge of thirty or forty people, but no matter what, they have also entered the ranks, and they can be regarded as serious officials! Zhou Hao has only been in the army for more than ten days, so he directly skipped the two levels of the head of the team without a grade and the deputy platoon of the ninth grade, and was promoted to three levels in a row, and became a regular nine-rank rank, which is a very remarkable thing.
Zhou Hao raised his head, looked at Xue Wanche and said, "General, can I not do anything to make a correction?"
"What, aren't you a kid?" Xue Wanche frowned.
"It's not that the official is small, I just want to concentrate on cultivating martial arts, and I don't want to be wasted of time and energy by those messy military affairs after becoming an official!"
When Xue Wanche heard this, his tiger eyes were full of brilliance, and he stared at Zhou Hao for a long time without making a sound, and his focused expression seemed to be examining some rare treasure.
