The edict of knighthood?

As soon as Zhou Bai's words came out, the big tent of the Chinese army suddenly fell silent, and everyone, regardless of their official position, looked at him in a daze.

This is a precedent for opening the Lord?!

Lou Jinpeng was still steady, reacted, and immediately ordered the secretary Lang Jiang Yuankui to personally invite Yin Mu.

There are only three cabinets in Anbeiguo, Chen Zhongbang, Yin Mu, Zhou Yuan, Chen Zhongbang stayed in the national capital, and Zhou Yuan Town was on the west front, and only Yin Mu accompanied the army to set up a temporary imperial court.

Soon, Yin Mu rushed to the military tent with a look of surprise, but he did not immediately give the edict, but reminded Zhou Bai as a minister.

"Your Majesty, the matter of knighthood is not trivial, since ancient times, only weapons and names are used, and no dummies can be made, and the king's office is also."

"If you can't seal the lieutenant who can't enter the stream, it's okay to easily seal the fifth-class knighthood, and the diversion of national fortunes will inevitably hinder it, and the current trend of opening up the territory is in full swing."

Yin Mu's words were deafening, and the other civil and military ministers in the tent who were a little excited and irrepressible suddenly became a lot clearer.

As soon as the precedent of knighthood is opened, they have their own opportunities to work hard in the future, but if the name affects the general trend of the country, it will really outweigh the losses.

Ancient and modern dynasties, because of the indiscriminate issuance of famous weapons, led to the exhaustion of luck, and finally lost the country There are many lessons.

Zhou Bai smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Yin Mu to the desk, and explained: "Don't worry, I will never issue titles indiscriminately, so as to affect the overall situation." ”

"With the luck of the exotic Yan Dynasty, and then the next annexation of Longfeng, our dynasty really has the national character of the princes, and the precedent of knighthood can be opened."

Yin Mu is well versed in the way of being a minister, and after admonishing him, he has to be explained by the king, so he will naturally not be stubborn to the end.

Immediately spread out the rice paper, hold the pen and wait for Zhou Bai to convey the general content of the edict, and he will polish it accordingly.

But first, what he recorded was Zhou Bai's edict on the reform of the title, which would be corrected and issued by the cabinet later.

"Our dynasty still inherits the fifth rank of the prince and the uncle, each of whom is ranked in the third class, and the founder of the country is hereditary, and after three generations, the rank of the lord is reduced to the commoner. Those who have not been added to the founding of the country are for life, and according to the performance of the heirs, they will be reduced to the rank of heir. ”

"In addition, abolish the lieutenant and set up a knight. Those who are national warriors are unparalleled with the country, and those who have meritorious service to the country can be crowned national soldiers. The third-class national soldier is a scholar, and he is given many preferential treatment such as luck, and the national soldier cannot be hereditary. ”

When the first draft of the title setting was set, Zhou Bai officially issued an edict for the great victory on the Western Front and the meritorious ones.

There are only two knights, one is the coach Zhou Yuan, the third-class baron, and the other is Huo Feiguang, who is the first-class national soldier.

Zhou Bai simply expressed his meaning, and Yin Mu wrote the edict of knighthood by hand and handed it to Zhou Bai to stamp the national seal.

"Feng Bojun's edict, said: Zhou Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, fulfilled his duties, forged ahead, achieved a great victory on the Western Front, and raised the prestige of the northern country...... Now he is crowned as the third-class male of the founding of the country, and he eats in Linchang Township. The lintel of Xu Xian's house, raising the threshold by one inch, is famous in the underworld, and the ancestors are glorious.

"Longjiao Iron Cavalry controlled Huo Feiguang, controlled the five parts of the Great Wall powerfully, and in the great victory on the Western Front, he charged ahead, killed one military envoy, and five battalion members...... Wuwei invigorated the morale of the army, and now he is crowned as a first-class national soldier. The lintel of Xu Xian's house, raising the threshold by three points, spreading the name to the underworld, and extraditing the souls of the ancestors. ”

The content of the edict of the knighthood has not yet been delivered to the front line of the border city, and the generals of the southern expedition camp already know about it, which is allowed by Zhou Bai.

At this time, the knighthood is to boost the morale of the whole army, and in the next war, as long as you make meritorious service, the reward of the knighthood is in front of you.

At lunchtime, in addition to Li Dingguo's department, there were also large battalion guard personnel on shift.

Most of the soldiers gathered in twos and threes to discuss the great victory on the Western Front and the rewards of knighthood.

The garrison camp, in a straw hut for resting.

"A great victory in the national war, many people were promoted, I heard that the second dog of our fellow townsman killed a soldier of the Shanzi battalion by luck, and now he is the commander of the garrison, and he has a chance to take a medicinal bath."

"And with my cousin, beheaded the third level, this is a positive team, and it can be regarded as a serious official."

A soldier who was eliminated from the forbidden army and had been riveting all the time wanted to go back said loudly: "What is the promotion, you say, if I am a fifth-class knight, the daughter of Master Zhao, can I marry." ”

The brothers beside him nodded again and again: "That's for sure, even the lowest baron can be blessed by the state, and with luck, it is not a problem to establish a township." ”

At this time, a commander who broke the enemy's forbidden army passed by and heard several garrison soldiers speak out loudly.

Immediately stopped, shook his head and said: "Fifth rank lord, I'm afraid that soldiers who are not difficult to get started with forging can be sealed, and you don't look at it, the generals on the Chinese side are all bright-eyed, and they want to fight for the next knighthood." ”

The soldiers who were poured a plate of cold water and squatted in the grass hut to eat all had stiff faces, feeling that the broth and rice were not fragrant.

"Yes, the king has said that he remembers all those who can be knighted, but he will not be crowned until he is crowned king."

"Those who can be knighted now must be ...... with outstanding military achievements"

Seeing that the expressions of several people were sluggish, the commander of the forbidden army smiled and said: "The fifth-class lord can't count on it, the title of the national soldier is a famous lord that we can chase, and the king also said that even craftsmen have a chance." ”

"Is the knighthood bad? Not bad at all. ”

"You can posthumously seal the ancestors, show the lintel at home, set a threshold, gather family fortune, and also bless future generations to enter the academy or martial arts."

After a cursory explanation of the benefits of the national soldiers, the commander of the forbidden army left on his own, leaving only the ordinary soldiers in the grass hut to look at each other, and infinite longing rose in their eyes.

Even if you can't seal the country now, you will kill the enemy desperately, and your military achievements will accumulate there.

In the future, the king will be the king, and even unify the world, will those of them who have made meritorious contributions to the world earn a third-class national soldier?

The countryman is unparalleled, how nice it sounds, and the big-headed soldiers can also reach out and touch it.

……

In the evening, Zhou Bai had already received feedback on the reaction to the precedent of establishing the knighthood system and Kaifeng Jue.

The military spirit is boiling and in full swing, and it is a good time to forge ahead and open up the territory.

The ports of the Longfeng section of Ningjiang have been cleaned and closed, and if there is no movement in the city tomorrow, he will prepare for a large-scale general attack.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter sent out in the city, and it is from Cai Feng, the left minister of Dingguo." Xuan Yiwei commanded Yao Ping to hurriedly break in from outside the tent, looking a little excited.

Zhou Bai opened the letter and said with a smile: "Hook up, voted?" ”

Yao Ping nodded again and again, and said with reverence: "Cai Feng invited the county guard Yang Ye and the county lieutenant Hong Anguo to talk secretly, it should have moved them. ”

"It's still a far-sighted gentleman, and he hasn't given up fighting for Cai Feng from the very beginning, and his subordinates didn't expect him to become a left minister, let alone be so decisive."

Zhou Bai spread out the letter, and sure enough, it was a surrender letter, and there were no conditions in it.

“…… Longfeng's natural and man-made disasters are protracted, losing people's hearts and losing the country's fortune...... The foreign ministers could not bear to do any more useless acts among the soldiers and people in the city, which would only increase the casualties, and hoped that the king would forgive them...... Surrender is in accordance with the will of the people, if the monarch is willing to accept it, please be ready to enter the city tomorrow afternoon, too late will change. ”

"Cai Feng, the left minister of Dingguo, Yang Ye, the county guard of Longfeng, and the county lieutenant Hong Anguo."

said to vote, and at the end of the letter, there were three people's private prints, and even Zhou Bai was moved by this kind of sincerity.

This is the fortune of the times, and the wise will follow the trend of the times.

Zhou Bai shook his head and smiled: "It's so interesting, it's hard not to reuse them." ”

"Tell them to enter the city tomorrow at noon, so that they are also ready for the handover."

"Of course, just in case, you have to contact the people in the city who surrendered earlier and prepare for an uprising."

After Yao Ping received the order to leave, Li Yuan then asked to see him.

"Your Majesty, we have fought each other, we have won and lost each other, there are no casualties, and the Dingguo Taoist Regiment has not made much effort."

"Don't talk about Shaoyuan Zhenjun, even the Zhenren of Longfeng County is nowhere to be seen." Obviously, Li Yuan was a little confused.

Even if the main force of the army retreats to Dingzhou County, the monks' tentative suppression will not be affected, why do they also retreat in an all-round way.

Zhou Bai pondered for a moment and explained: "The main force of the Dingguo Taoist Regiment, inheriting the Yuanzhou Yadao Regiment, is well aware of the influence of the system. ”

"It seems that they don't want to directly confront the general trend of our army without the protection of the army and the country's fortunes, so as not to be entangled in too much cause and effect and fail."

Li Yuan nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shaoyuan Zhenjun, what are you going to do?" ”

True monarch-level combat power, if it interferes, what should I do?

In this regard, in fact, Yu Yueyun sent a message that the half-step true monarch of the Houtu Sect did not make a move this time, and it should be a breakthrough imminent.

Zhou Bai chuckled silently, what about the Yang God True Monarch, the aura recovered, and the unprecedented turbulent and chaotic times came.

In the Tian Yuan Continent, where the power of humanity is increasing day by day, even the True Monarch has to worry about the suppression of the will of humanity.

I didn't look at the battlefield on the Western Front, and the duel of extraordinary forces was all about opening up another battlefield.

In the Middle Domain, where there are many sects and cultivators are strong, there have been various cases.

In a big war, in order to reverse the situation, a certain real person carried the military spirit, killed a battalion of soldiers, and destroyed the unspoken rules of the two countries to compete for hegemony.

In the end, although he changed the direction of the war and tried his best to ensure that his side was not defeated, he also suffered a backlash.

Fortunately, the backlash of the national fortune is okay, and the country of Fulong is still quite strong, blocking the suppression of the enemy's luck.

But the mark of humanity's will makes it entangled in cause and effect, and the heart of the Tao is covered with dust.

The slightest intention of cultivation will attract demons, and it can be said that the path has been broken.

The only hope is that the hidden dragon supported in the future can become a real dragon, otherwise everything will be over.
