Chapter 109: Fengyi: Qiubo City!
Caledia's voice was a little sharp, but he could feel it, and he was full of emotion in reading the decree, and he had a very precise grasp of the yin and yang of the language.
The first decree was given to the entire Third Division, and each soldier alive received two hundred gold coins, and the beheading of ten Roman ordinary soldiers received the title of third-class light horseman, and the beheading of twenty ordinary soldiers received the title of second-class light horseman. The decapitation of ten Roman Central Army soldiers made them a third-class heavy horseman, and more than twenty could become a second-class heavy horseman.
The two do not stack with each other, but a portion of the gold can be given as compensation. Regarding the pension of the fallen soldiers, the family of each person can receive five hundred gold coins.
When David Mo heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, the court's reward was very decent, at least it would not chill the hearts of those soldiers who died for the country.
Julian, as the nominal supreme commander of the Third Division, accepted this holy decree on his behalf, and the eyes of everyone around him showed a faint emotion.
Caledia and Zolebenya were slightly silent, only the two of them knew in their hearts how much effort the emperor had put behind the scenes for this decent reward.
Then Caledia took out a scroll of the holy decree again, only to hear him read in a deep voice: "The light is shining, and the holy empire is prosperous: Yurian, the deputy commander of the third division, is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has made a good contribution to the great victory of Gerben." He was specially promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the military department, and was given the title of second-class marquis!"
Julian almost cried with joy, the general of the military department was an official of the third grade, and he was a powerful figure in the yamen of the imperial capital.
As for the title, he was originally a third-class marquis, but now he has become a second-class, and it is impossible for him to obtain this kind of honor with his merits, so at this moment, he really can't think of anything other than lamenting the emperor's grace.
Seeing that his eyes were red, Caledia smiled faintly: "Marquis Julian, don't kneel stupidly, hurry up and thank you for receiving the decree!" Julian hurriedly wiped his tears, and while calling for the emperor's grace, he received the holy decree from Caledia's hand.
Next, the reward was still carried out in an orderly manner, and Ilya was promoted to the superintendent of the Sanpin Military Aircraft Department and given the title of Marquis of the third rank. Nicholas was also promoted to Superintendent of the Military Aircraft Division, but the title did not change.
However, the two of them are already very satisfied with this, because at least they don't have to continue to worry about guarding the frontier, the prosperous world of the imperial capital is where they yearn for it.
The appointment of deputy heads of regiments at all levels, including those at all levels, has been gradually announced, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall is extremely lively, although everyone still kneels on the ground and dare not get up, but all kinds of joyful weeping and cheering are coming and going with the scrolls of holy decrees.
Gradually, everyone noticed a strange thing, until the awards of the battalion-level officers began to be read, but there was still no follow-up on David Mo's awards.
After Caledia handed out the last battalion commander's decree, he paused, glanced at the people around him, and said with a faint smile: "I've been reading it for so long, I'm a little thirsty, but there is still the last decree of pressing the box, and when I came, His Majesty personally told me that I must read it last." ”
I saw that the entourage behind him handed over a wooden box about a foot long, and after handing it to him, the entire wooden box suddenly emitted a purple light, and most of the people around him saw this scene, and most of their eyes showed incredulity.
The wooden boxes of the holy decrees of officials below the fourth rank are not placed in the box, the wooden boxes of the holy decrees of officials above the fourth rank are crimson, and the wooden boxes of the holy decrees of officials above the second rank are purple.
The wooden box in Caledia's hand is basically a kind of declaration, and the holy decree in this wooden box will bring the recipient an official position above the second grade.
The holy decree slowly opened, compared to the silk silks just now, the golden light on this holy decree was even more shining, and because of the blessing of the diamond-level mage, a surging power rushed out, and the powerful coercion shrouded everyone's hearts for a while.
The silk silk slowly unfolded, everyone knelt on the ground again, Caledia's sharp voice was already slightly hoarse, and he read slowly: "The light of the gods shines, and the holy empire is prosperous: the sage often says, if the country has a master, then the fierce general will descend into the world, this is Amaterasu! If you do something extraordinary, you will also be rewarded for an extraordinary person!"
"The commander of the Eighth Regiment of the Third Division, David Mo, has made great achievements in battle, and he turned the tide of the battle with his own strength, he is really an extraordinary person!
Rao is Zolebenya has experienced many storms and waves, and he is still shocked by this holy decree of the emperor! It is inconceivable that a regimental commander of the fourth rank should be promoted to the commander of the real power of the second rank in a row.
But compared with the later feudal city of Qiubocheng, the shock of the official position is obviously nothing. There has never been a shortage of second-class marquis in the imperial capital, although they are also top nobles, but there are many more advanced nobles in the imperial capital.
However, there are only a handful of nobles who can obtain a fief, because the fiefdom is different from the castle lord, the fief is that the city always belongs to a family, and the lord of the city can be replaced by the emperor's will.
There were only three families in the empire who owned fiefdoms: the Mercado family in Coleman, the Harveyne family in Querk North, and the Poroui family in Liechtendon.
They all have one thing in common, all of them have made great contributions to the frontier and opened up territory for the empire! And all of them have been canonized as first-class dukes!
David Mo's fingers trembled slightly, he couldn't believe his ears, he had been displaced from his father since he was a child, and he didn't settle in the imperial capital until he was eight years old, because of his low status and poverty, he almost grew up in ridicule and abuse when he was a teenager!
Now that he has become a second-class marquis with his own fiefdom, all this seems to be like a dream, he is afraid that one day he will wake up from a dream, and he will have nothing more!
He was also excited, Caledia's voice trembled slightly when he read it, because he had heard Dongri say in the palace that the emperor had fought with the six military ministers all night for the reward of David Mo!
This is also why he treats David Mo with a completely different attitude, because he knows the truth of Jane in the emperor's heart, and David Mo is definitely a young man who the emperor is very optimistic about.
However, the decree did not end here, Caledia continued to read: "The defense of Gelben City is taken over by the 1st Division, and the commander of the 3rd Division, David Mo, leads the meritorious soldiers of the 3rd Division back to Beijing to replenish the troops!
Caledia rolled up the decree, put it back in the wooden box again, walked down from the high platform, personally helped David Mo up, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Marquis, please accept the decree." ”
David Mo stood up and took the wooden box in Caledia's hand, forcibly suppressed the tumbling in his heart, and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. ”
Caledia looked at David Mo twice, nodded suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice: "With such a heavy reward, Lord Mo can be so calm, and he really has the style of a general!"
David Mo smiled slightly, noncommittal to Caledia's praise, and then asked: "I'm afraid it will take some time for the handover of Gelben City, I wonder if the emperor has set a deadline?"
Caledia thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "I didn't say when I would arrive in the imperial capital, but the regulations of the Military Aircraft Department are that the handover should not take more than three days, and you should know more about these than me." ”
David Mo nodded and said, "I know this rule of the Military Aircraft Department...... and then he stopped dwelling on this matter, and smiled at Caledia: "Honey tea has been prepared outside the conference hall, why don't I take Xue over for a drink?"
Caledia waved his hand and said, "I'll just go by myself, Master Hou should talk to his colleagues." With that, he turned around and ordered his entourage to say a few words, and left the conference hall with a group of people.
At this time, the hall was full of ears, and all kinds of congratulations and thanks were endless. Julian was about to go up and talk to David Mo, but saw Zulbenya walking towards David Mo.
"Now I have to call you Master Mo, it is estimated that in two years, even the old man will have to call you an adult. Zolebenya smiled, a little teasing, but harmless.
David Mo hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Hou said that he was laughing, David never dared to have such delusions. Hou Ye has made brilliant achievements in his life, and he is a role model for David!"
Seeing that his eyes were sincere, and there was no arrogance after being sealed, Zolebenya bowed slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Not humble or arrogant, advance and retreat in a certain way, the emperor really knows people." ”
After saying that, he didn't give David Mo a chance to be modest, and continued: "The handover matters still need to be completed as soon as possible, I need a lot of things, and I have to ...... all the first-hand information after the war."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, stared at David Mo and said, "Did you lead troops to explore Istanbul City once?"
David Mo didn't expect him to mention this, and secretly speculated in his heart: It has only been less than six days since the incident of the Three Arrows Shock Istanbul City, and it stands to reason that the twist has not yet reached the imperial capital, how did Zolebenya know?
Turning his head slightly, he glanced at Julian on the side, he suspected that Julian had leaked the matter, and hesitated at the moment: "It's true that I've been there once, but I haven't gained anything from it, and I haven't had any fights." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Zolebenya's mouth, and he squinted his eyes and said, "If you have it, you can also hand over the records of the expedition to me, just to see what the Romans want to do." ”
Although David Mo didn't know how he could deduce it, since he had this need, he wasn't prepared to hide it. He replied, "I'll give you all the information as soon as possible." ”
Zolebenya said goodbye to David Mo and left, the officers of the 1st Division behind him followed, Roberts passed by him with a blue face, although he had already learned of David Mo's reward from his father, but he still found it difficult to accept it in his heart!
Julian didn't pay attention to the feelings of a deputy commander, he walked up to David Mo, and said with some envy: "Lord Mo, Qiubo City is the richest city in the Plain of Siriel. ”
The corners of David Mo's mouth rose, and he said lightly: "Oh, yes, I've never heard of this place......" His eyes flickered slightly, looking at Roberts's back, flashing with a cold light!
ps: There is only one shift today, and when I go back to school to resume two shifts! Thank you for your support! Thank you!
