At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The founding father Jiang Taigong Lu Shang, through the military orders, military law, and military merits set up in the army, firmly controlled the soldiers and horses of all sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the hands of the royal family.

The Military Command Department is in charge of the movement of troops and horses.

Under an order, the princes of the world dare not obey.

However, with the decline of the royal family and the growth of the princes, the military command department was abolished hundreds of years ago and no longer exists.

The Department of Military Justice, which is in charge of judicial punishment in the military.

Nowadays, authority is not as good as it used to be, and it is almost reduced to an ornament.

The princes appointed their own military law enforcers to sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and did not allow the royal family to interfere in their own military affairs.

Only the military merit.

To this day, the complete structure has been preserved, which is maintained by the royal family and the princes.

Because the Military Merit Division is not only related to the evaluation of military merit and the promotion of titles, but also through the Military Merit Pavilion, a complete set of military cultivation inheritance system has been established.

It's the culmination of millennia.

No force dares to break away from this system and isolate itself from it.

Let's talk about the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

From top to bottom, they are the four major ranks of princes, secretaries, doctors and scholars. The princes were the most noble, and they were qualified to establish their own vassal states and rule the world's Kyushu with the royal family.

Zhang Qi wants to get a knighthood, there are probably three ways.

One is to be canonized by the royal family, but the royal family generally only canonizes the fifth-class princes of the princes, and the following three titles, the princes, doctors and scholars, the royal family rarely canonizes, and even if they are canonized, they often only canonize the royal family surnamed Ji.

The second is to be canonized by the princes, and all the vassal states in the world are also eligible to be canonized. However, titles canonized by vassal states are only recognized by their own countries.

For example, the title of Qin State will not be useful when it comes to Jin State.

The last way is to enlist in the army, make military merits, and then exchange titles from the military merit department.

Because of the transcendent status of the Military Merit Division, the title promulgated by the Military Merit Department is full of gold and is basically recognized by all forces.

Zhang Qi has just received a lot of military merits, and he just got a knighthood for himself while it was hot.

With the title, I will not worship the official in the future.

Moreover, many of the martial arts techniques treasured by the Military Merit Pavilion are not open to civilian soldiers, for example, in the second half of the "Gold Eating Gong", a sergeant with a knighthood must be exchanged for practice.

After hearing Zhang Qi's inquiry, Zhao Junzheng patiently introduced: "Although you have made many military achievements, most of them are ninth-class merits......

"I see."

After Zhao Junzheng's detailed introduction, Zhang Qi figured out that the quantity of exchanging military merits for a knighthood is not important, the important thing is quality.

Corporal, one eighth-class merit and twelve ninth-class merits, can be exchanged.

Sergeant, one seventh-class merit is required, plus three eighth-class merits.

Sergeant, only need to merit once in the sixth class.

And to be promoted from a sergeant to a doctor, you must make super military achievements above the fifth rank.

So.

Don't look at Zhang Qi's a lot of military exploits, but with just these bronze medals of military merits in the box, he can redeem a sergeant title at most.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qi took out the bronze medal of sixth-class military merit.

"Sixth-class merit!"

After Zhao Junzheng was shocked for a while, his attitude became more polite, and his tone became more gentle, "Sergeant Zhang, do you want to exchange for a sergeant?" ”

"That's right."

Zhang Qi nodded, since he planned to get a knighthood, he would simply do it in one step.

Soon.

After waiting for less than an hour, Zhang Qi's sergeant arrived, and the efficiency was incredible.

He remembered very well that Wang Changxin's corporal had dragged on for five or six days to do it. Sure enough, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, and with the backstage of Beiliang Black Ride, it's not too smooth to do things.

There are three things in total.

A knighthood, which is equivalent to a certificate of title, indicates his title and when he obtained it.

A special medal with 'Sergeant' engraved on the front and a white tiger engraved on the back.

Zhang Qi held this sergeant medal in his hand, and he could feel a strong killing aura, and even faintly heard the sound of a tiger roaring. Listening to Zhao Junzheng's introduction, this medal has a Tiger King spirit sealed inside, which can deter evil demons.

There is also a dagger made of pure gold, with bells and whistles, you can't cut people, so you can treat it as a souvenir.

Besides.

The Military Merit Department will also send someone to send the good news that he has obtained the title of sergeant back to his birthplace and inform the township.

This is called the glory of the ancestors.

Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the military merit division can stand for a thousand years without falling, and he really understands all the routines.

After the matter is done.

Zhang Qi found Jiang Jiu, "I still have to go to Baisha City." ”

Jiang Jiu was combing his war horse, and when he heard this, he just nodded and didn't say a word.

Zhang Qi has become accustomed to it.

People are willing to pretend to be dumb, can he handle it?

The two got on their horses, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at Baisha City, which was not far from the border. Because it was getting late, the two found an inn to stay.

Next.

Jiang Jiu stayed at the inn, while Zhang Qi went out to run errands.

He first went to the Military Merit Pavilion, and he still had more than a thousand military merit bronze medals in his hand, which was inconvenient to carry on his body, so he was ready to go to the Military Merit Pavilion to squander it.

"Zheng Shushi, long time no see."

"You are?"

Zhang Qi found Zheng Shushi, who had received him before, but the other party didn't recognize him for a long time.

After all, he has changed too much now.

Not only has his body grown a lot taller, his hair has become silvery-white, but even his temperament has changed greatly, and his body is filled with a powerful aura......

"I'm Zhang Qi of the Great Wall Legion, and I exchanged a gold skill from you a month ago."

"It turned out to be you."

After being reminded by Zhang Qi, Zheng Shushi suddenly remembered.

He looked Zhang Qi up and down, his eyes were full of surprise, after cultivating the gold eating skill, he didn't die violently, but became more and more energetic, it was really incredible.

After being amazed for a while, Zheng Shushi asked, "Then you came this time?" ”

"I have some military merit cards on me, and I want to exchange some things, so I redeemed the lower half of the gold medal by the way."

"It takes ...... to exchange the second half of the food gold work"

Zheng Shushi was halfway through speaking, and he couldn't go on, because Zhang Qi had already taken out his sergeant medal.

"Sergeant Zhang, please!"

Zheng Shushi's attitude towards Zhang Qi was obviously much more polite than last time.

Under his guidance, Zhang Qi came to the fourth floor of the Military Merit Pavilion, which was heavily guarded, with a post in ten steps, and was even arranged by the disciples of the Mo family.

Even if they succeed, they will suffer retaliation from the Judge Advocate General's Department afterwards.

To know.

The masters trained by the Judge Advocate General's Department are all murderous masters.

"Sergeant Zhang, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Zhang Qidong looking around, Zheng Shushi couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "I'm looking to see if there is an old man sweeping the floor here." ”

Zheng Shushi: "......"

At this moment, an old voice came out of nowhere: "There is no old man sweeping the floor, but there is an old man underground." ”

Zhang Qi's face was shocked.

Zheng Shushi's face changed greatly.
