Chapter 33: Commendation
In one of the rooms of the Hansean barracks, two men who looked like brothers were discussing something.
These two people are the father and son of Spiswei, and it is hard to believe that these two people who seem to be of average age are father and son, and the actual age difference is more than twenty years.
Outside, there was cheers from the soldiers and civilians, and Sibi squinted his eyes as if he were listening, and then he looked at the red-eared Siwei in front of him.
"Ah Wei, I still oppose the resolution you proposed. You want to reward everything, and I raise my hands in favor of this, because even if he is a criminal, his exploits are obvious to all. But about this Zhang Yuan's question, I think it's not in accordance with the rules for you to give a reward like this, of course, I'm not saying that I suspect that your report is fake, but if this Zhang Yuan is a magic handicap according to what you said, then how did he kill the two generals? β
Si Wei saw that no matter how he explained, Si Bi insisted that Zhang Yuan's military exploits were fake, to be honest, he knew that his father was understandable to do this, but he still wanted to explain the situation and couldn't bury Zhang Yuan's brother's talent.
"Father, I ......"
Sibi interrupted Swei with a wave of his hand, then got up from his chair and walked to the door, saying as he went, "Okay, you don't have to say any more. This Zhang Yuan can't enlist in the army directly, first, his military merits can't be determined, and second, he doesn't know magic, if you promote him directly like this, I'm afraid it will set a bad example for the soldiers. Besides, what can a person who does not know magic do? Especially in the military system.
Of course, it's not that I can't understand your point of view, didn't you say that guerrilla tactics were put forward by him? I think we can reward him for this merit first. Then arrange him to study in the Western Army Demon for a period of time, and then we in the west will recommend him. Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, if this Zhang Yuan really has such a god as you say, he will definitely be able to get ahead in the academy, and you can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
But you have to take care of the reward, after all, many nobles also died because of guerrilla tactics, although Ai Rong is mainly responsible, but Zhang Yuan can't get out of it. I'll go first, and you'll think about it yourself."
The Western Army Demon that Sibi said was the Western Military Magic Academy, Si Wei watched the other party walk out of the room, shook his head, sat on the chair that Sibi was sitting on just now, and covered his face with a big hand. In the end, my father was still unwilling to believe the fact that Zhang Yuan had killed two generals, and was only willing to accept the reward for Zhang Yuan's guerrilla tactics.
Si Wei felt a little powerless, he really couldn't provide a strong statement on Zhang Yuan's issue, and he couldn't convince his father just by using his own personality as a guarantee. But he also felt that what Sibi said was not wrong, and directly promoted Zhang Yuan to sergeant major, which may indeed harm Zhang Yuan, because he didn't know magic at all, and it was difficult to protect himself on the battlefield.
But Si Wei was still a little unwilling, he wanted to rush out at the moment and shout Zhang Yuan's merits to those soldiers and civilians celebrating the victory, but he understood that it was difficult to win people's trust with such words. Siwei, who had fought 40,000 enemy troops with only 2,000 men on the banks of the Zhuxi River, was now at a loss because of a merit that could not be proved to the public.
Zhang Yuan gently put the bracelet on Chengge's wrist, there was a pair of small bells hanging on the bracelet, Chengge watched his brother put the bracelet on himself, and asked with a shy smile: "Why, buy such a bracelet?" β
Zhang Yuan squatted, stretched out his hand and pinched Chengge's little face, seeing Chengge's happy appearance, he also smiled: "This bracelet, you just shake it, the bell on it rings, and my brother will come to accompany you when he hears it." β
Chengge blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhang Yuandao: "Really? β
"Really, I don't lie to you."
"I, no, believe. Hee-hee! β
"Ugh."
Chengge suddenly turned around and ran into the crowd, and disappeared without a trace. Zhang Yuan and Chun Mengya hurriedly followed, there are so many people, what if Chengge is not there. Zhang Yuan and Chun Mengya shouted Chengge's name while anxiously searching.
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to open the hang to find someone, the sound of a bell suddenly came from a store next to him, Zhang Yuan quickly turned his head to see that it was Chengge standing at the door of the store and smiling at himself.
Seeing Zhang Yuan coming over, he pounced on Zhang Yuan with a song, wrapped his two arms around Zhang Yuan's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Actually, I have always known that my brother has always been with me, and it has been twice, I ......"
Chengge's voice became smaller and smaller, and when it came to the end, he couldn't even hear what he was saying, Zhang Yuan patted her on the back, only to find that Chengge was not crying, but he didn't know when he fell asleep on his shoulder, probably he hadn't rested well, and he was crazy for a while, so he was tired at this time.
Seeing Chun Mengya come over, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked Chun Mengya for help and helped Chengge onto his back. Looking at Chengge's sleeping face leaning on Zhang Yuan's shoulder, Chun Mengya quipped: "The relationship between your brothers and sisters is really good, but it's a pity that I don't have such brothers and sisters." β
Zhang Yuan hehehe, and said, "Then I can recognize you as a sister!" β
"Come on, you are my brother, how can you ask for the money you owe me?"
"Ah this, isn't it, sir, it's also illegal to be a younger brother to a creditor?"
The two walked towards the Chun family mansion while laughing, leaving only a silver bell-like laughter and a barbell-like laughter.
The next day, as soon as Zhang Yuan got up, he saw Chun Mengya coming down from the upper floor and walking straight towards him.
"A soldier came to you just now, saying that he wanted you to go to the barracks, as if he wanted to reward you, you should hurry up and prepare, otherwise Siwei will have to send someone to urge you."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan nodded, and was about to wash, when he suddenly thought of something, turned back and stopped Chun Mengya and asked, "Sister Mengya, can I take Chengge with me?" β
"Of course, what's wrong with that."
"Okay, I'll go pack up and go!"
Just when Zhang Yuan was anxious to go to the western slope, Jiang Renzheng knelt in the Hanse watchtower and prayed. In front of him was a small table covered with a white cloth, on which was a delicate white jade figure, the supreme god of the soul moon enshrined in the temple.
One of the temple guards rushed to the door of the room, and was about to shout something, when he was suddenly stopped by another guard standing at the door. The guard who grabbed him pointed to the archbishop who was praying, and whispered: "The bishop is praying, I've been waiting for a while, and the military department has called the bishop to attend the reward ceremony!" β
The guard, who was being held back, looked into the room, "Your Excellency has never prayed such a long prayer in the morning, what do you think is going on?" β
Just as the two were talking to each other, Jiang Ren's voice suddenly came from the room: "In the temple, there is something that cannot be open, why should it be sneaky somewhere." Tell me, what kind of news is it? β
Jiang Ren shook his robe and stood up from the ground. The two guards at the door quickly stood up straight and shouted in unison, "I've seen the archbishop." β
The two guards glanced at each other, and the one who came first stepped forward and said, "Archbishop, the military department has invited you to participate in the award ceremony. β
Jiang Ren bowed slightly, but his eyes never opened, but he just said, "Okay, tell them that I will pass on time." β
"Yes." The guard took the order and hurried away. Shojen turned to the guard behind him, "Is there anything else?" β
The guard looked left and right a few times, and after making sure that there was no one, he went into the house, knelt down in front of Jiangren, and said, "Archbishop, I have already found out the affairs of the general that you told me to investigate. β
"Tell me about it."
"Yes, the two civilians who assassinated the generals, one is a magic handicapper, whose name is Zhang Yuan, and I heard that he has contributed a lot to this war against Ganghe. There is also a call, called Chengge. The guard hesitated to mention the name of Chengge, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.
Jiang Ren finally opened his eyes, and two majestic gazes shone on the guard's body.
"Say, there's nothing to taboo, what is the relationship between this song and dance?"
Chengwu is the sister who was killed by Chengge, that is, the goddaughter of Jiangren.
"Archbishop wise, this song is the sister of your goddaughter who came to Hanseh last time. As for Cheng Wu, he has been dead for eight years. In addition, I have heard that there are many things that are not good for the generals, and the commoners and nobles are rumors. Then the guard told everything he had heard, and from time to time he glanced at Shoren with his eyes, as if he had some scruples.
Of course, Jiang Ren knew that this guard was afraid of offending him, and he was a little angry, first, he had died for eight years and had not heard any news, and second, Jiang Jiang actually did something that these gods were angry about.
"This bastard! Even his own sister can do it, where is this the behavior of a clergyman, and what he has done has disgraced the great supreme god! Alas, I think that my brother entrusted him to me, so I took him into the temple of the Most High God, and I didn't think of it, I didn't know that he did all these things, did he really cover the sky with one hand in Hanse? Or are you hiding it from me? β
When the guard heard Jiang Ren questioning himself, he knew that the paper could not contain the fire, so he hurriedly kept knocking his head on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "I am loyal to you Archbishop, but the general is your nephew, and we dare not offend!" Forgive me my sins, ask the archbishop to forgive me! β
"Okay, okay, you go out first." Jiang Ren was obviously still angry just now, but now his face changed again, and he became an amiable old man again. When the guards had gone out, they knelt down in front of the white jade statue and prayed:
"Great Supreme God, I am your faithful servant, Jiangren. My goddaughter Chengwu is your devout devotee, please be sure to bless her soul on the moon. After speaking, Jiang Ren kowtowed three times, and then got up.
"Pity the kid. By the way, since Chengge is her sister, she can be regarded as half of my goddaughter, and she is also a hard-working child, so I can't ignore it this time. β
The place where the award ceremony was held was still in the school field where the last oath was taken, but the person who presided over it changed from Aeon to Sibi.
Standing on the high point platform, Sibi glanced at the soldiers below, some of whom were even wrapped in cloths, and the blood stains on them were clearly visible. He nodded and said in a loud voice: "This time, I, the chief of defense of the west, should thank you well, and you should not feel that you can't bear this gratitude because of your status as soldiers, because you should not only be thanked by me, but also by the people of the entire west and even the entire Ketcher."
Because of your heroic battles, you kept our enemies out of Kitcher, let the Gangga people know how powerful we are, and let the aura of the god of war envelop Hanse! So you deserve my thanks, and I hope that you will live up to my gratitude and continue to defend Hansel and Kicher! As a token of my gratitude, General Swei will now award the meritorious soldiers on my behalf. β
The enthusiasm of the soldiers below was immediately ignited, and they all chanted, and Si Wei also walked up to the stage and waved his hand to everyone.
"Thoughtful, if you have a meritorious service in destroying the Ganghejun Bridge, you will be rewarded with one hundred gold ears! Xu Tianming, follow Zhou Quan's attack on Ganghe Army for meritorious service, and reward one hundred white fungus! Mu Touren, who led the mercenaries to assist the Hansei army in battle, will be rewarded with one hundred white fungus ......"
"Zhang Yuan, who proposed guerrilla tactics and made outstanding contributions to blocking the march of Vanibal, was rewarded with one hundred white fungus, and was recommended by the Western Military Department to enter the Western Military Academy of Magic."
Thinking of this, Si Wei suddenly raised his head, looked at the cheering soldiers below, and suddenly changed the tone that was full of passion just now, and said in a heavy tone: "The above is the reward for all the people present, and the following is a reward for those who are not present." β
When the soldiers below heard Swei's words, they all suddenly lowered their heads, and neither Hanse's soldiers nor the soldiers who came from the west to support them were silent, because now was the time for a moment of silence for the war dead.
"Blood drinker, the defenders of Saimenxia, led more than 30 people in Saimenxia to fight to the death and did not retreat, and finally died outside Saimenxia, reward 100 elite infantry in Saimenxia, and go to the Western Military Magic Academy for special training from now on!"
"Kong Busheng, Sergeant Major Saimenxia, detonate yourself and blow up a rock puppet, reward fifty long-range magic soldiers in Saimenxia, and go to the Western Military Magic Academy for special training from now on!"
"Lu returned home, Saimenxia baggage soldiers, walked thirty miles on foot, brought valuable information to the follow-up combat troops, and finally died on the bank of the Xixi River with the second baggage team, and rewarded twenty Saimenxia military horses!"
"King Hocher, the captain of the second Hansey baggage team, led the baggage troops to attack the enemy's position with a train formation, and died on the bank of the Zhuxi River due to being outnumbered, reward the fifty elite soldiers of the second baggage team, and go to the Western Military Magic Academy for special training from now on!"
"Si Qing, Hansey General Si Wei's personal guard, died in the process of killing the enemy general Vanibal, reward, HansΓ© elite combat force, the number of two hundred, named Si Qing's team, from now on to the Western Military Magic Academy for special training!"
"Also, the fallen soldiers and Hansean nobles are fourteen thousand five hundred and fourteen, I hope that everyone will always remember them, always remember these souls, they have always been with Hanse!"
