Chapter Ninety-Six: The Knighthood

The prisoners of war that Li Xin intercepted from Liaoxi were imprisoned by the Qin army after entering the city, waiting to be disposed of.

Before, there were many Yan people in the city who colluded with each other in private, looking for opportunities***. But now that they all had extinguished this thought, Wang Jian shocked them with a Qin Feng tactic and completely shattered the Yan people's resistance heart.

Jicheng, completely calmed down.

After the Great War, there will be a reward.

Qin respects military merits, and the so-called "those who have military merits are knighted at the rate", as long as they make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they can be knighted and rewarded.

When Li Xin's troops were pursuing Yanwang's convoy, the Qin troops in Jicheng had already completed their respective meritorious deeds, and most of them were elated with smiles on their faces.

Now that Li Xin has returned from a great victory, it is natural that he and his subordinates should also be rewarded for their merits.

First of all, the Qin army's light chariots and iron horses galloped for hundreds of miles to pursue, beheading thousands of Yan cavalry, and this credit was settled according to the corresponding gains, and there was no objection to how many heads were the number of military merits.

Among them, Shima shot and killed two Yan cavalry cavalry in the car battle, a total of two heads, and when he was promoted to a knighthood, he was promoted from the second level to the third level hairpin.

The black buttocks killed one of the Yan cavalry with a halberd, and killed one of the Yan army charioteers who resisted with a blade.

Kill two heads, and the black buttocks can also be upgraded to a knighthood, and like Shibuma, they will become hairpins.

However, according to Zhao Tuo's guess, this black butt must have seen that the two heads needed to make a hairpin bird were insufficient, so he specially took advantage of the chaos of the car accident to kill a coachman.

The head settlement is complete, but the promotion of the two is not over.

More than 200 ministers and ministers of Yan State were captured, and the core class of Yan State was swept away.

Such merits, in any case, must be achieved by the whole army.

Therefore, this chasing army from the main general Li Xin down, all the sergeants and soldiers of the army were on the basis of obtaining the knighthood, and then rose one level.

Shima, black buttocks, under a pursuit battle, they were promoted two levels in a row and became two non-changers.

It's a pity that in the previous battle to conquer Jicheng, they were in the rear and did not participate in the frontline fighting. Although you can get a lot of achievements and monetary rewards for helping to make the cannon, you can't upgrade to a knighthood, otherwise you may be able to become a fifth-level doctor in a battle.

But Rao is like this, which also makes the mouth of the black buttocks smile bloom, pouting his ass and running around, constantly shouting his name of "no more black buttocks".

Even Shima, who has always been cold, couldn't help but show joy between his eyebrows.

And the credit for Shiruma doesn't stop there.

He followed Zhao Tuo to chase and kill Yan Dan, and an arrow hit the war horse, subduing Yan Dan and tying him up.

The credit of this auxiliary, according to the character of the Qin people who will be rewarded for their merits, will never be less.

It's just that because it is about the "mastermind of the assassination of Qin", the reward has to be decided by the king of Qin himself, so it has been put on hold for the time being. But it is foreseeable that after returning to Xianyang, there will definitely be rewards for Shima.

As for Zhao Tuo.

Decapitation alone doesn't mean anything to a knighthood.

can only rely on the interception of the "Ying Theory" of the Minister of Yan Guo to rise to one level.

He's now a fifth-rank knighthood, doctor!

But for Zhao Tuo, this is by no means the end.

The credit for his previous work in making the cannon has been reported to Xianyang and needs to wait for review.

The contribution to intercept and kill King Yan's convoy and capture the crown prince Dan is too special, and it needs to be decided by King Qin after returning to Xianyang.

The two great feats can be called the best in the whole army, and the rewards are so rich that they can be imagined.

Zhao Tuo is also looking forward to what kind of reward he will receive when he returns to Xianyang.

"Sure enough, the battlefield is still upgrading fast, and it has risen several levels in a blink of an eye."

Zhao Tuo smiled on his face, and at the same time muttered in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to Brother Zheng's words at the beginning, otherwise I would still be a little prince who is immersed in studying."

After the distribution of the merits of the soldiers under Li Xin's command, the reward should be rewarded, and the punishment should be punished.

And he, for the time being, has not changed.

Because according to the military merit system of the Qin State, the promotion below the title of the five doctors will take a few days

The results will be obtained and a new title will be awarded.

The rewards for its acres and homesteads will be issued by the army, transmitted to the corresponding counties, and then by the local county county and county lieutenants.

After the five doctors and above have been evaluated in the army, they need to be reported to Xianyang, and the state captain's office or the lord's lieutenant's office will negotiate it, and finally the knighthood and reward can be issued.

The reason for this operation is that the twentieth rank system of the Qin State seems to be able to climb all the way up by military merits, but in fact, there is a strict internal classification.

The 20 levels of knighthood are divided into four classes.

Among them, the first level of public scholars to the fourth level does not change titles, which belongs to the lowest level of titles, similar to the class of "scholars" in the previous feudal era.

Those who have this rank of knighthood can hold official positions up to 500 lords in the army, and can also hold the position of officials below the rank of village chief (township chief) in the locality.

The fifth-level doctor to the ninth-level five doctors can be compared to the ancient level of "doctor", which can also be seen from the name of his title.

A person with a title of this level will be able to live a more nourishing life in the Qin State.

According to the corresponding rank of knighthood, he can hold the rank of 500 lords to lieutenants in the army.

In the past, the title of the Five Doctors could even have the right to lead troops to fight alone.

For example, when King Qin Zhaoxiang attacked the Zhao capital Handan, Wu Anjun said that he was ill, so King Qin sent the five doctors Wang Ling as the main general.

It's just that now, with the continuous war between Qin and the Six Kingdoms, many high-ranking lords have come into being, resulting in the title of the five doctors is not as good as in the past.

At the local level, this rank of knighthood can be held from the village magistrate to the county chief and adjutant at all levels, and even the county government officials.

Of course, the two thousand stone level of the county guard is not good, and a higher level of knighthood is required.

From then on, it was the tenth level of the left chief, and all the way to the eighteenth level of the chief.

Most of these nine levels of titles are named after the chief, which is similar in essence to the level of "qing" in the feudal era.

Belonged to the real elite of the Qin State.

They can be held in the army from general to general, but the number of these positions is limited. There is only one general, and there are only a few generals, if there are too many high-ranking lords, they can only be ranked from high to low, and the lowest-ranking Zuo Shu Chang can often only be a captain.

This is also the reason why Huan Zhao has always wanted to be promoted to the right chief before, and only if the title is high enough in the Qin State can he obtain a higher position.

At the local level, the county guard of 2,000 stones and the Jiuqing in the center are all active stages for the "qing" knighthood.

And further up, there are the nineteenth-level Guannai Marquis and the twentieth-level Che Marquis, who belong to the topmost "Hou" level titles.

The difference between the two.

Guannei Hou, said that there is a Hou number, and lives in Wangji, there is no country.

The Marquis of Che, whose title leads to the Son of Heaven and has a feudal country.

Since then, the titles of Qin have been graded up and down.

Hou, Qing, doctors, and scholars, layer by layer, the upper and lower levels are strict, and the dignity and humility are clear at a glance.

Military merit is the basis for the Qin State to sweep the Six Kingdoms, so it attaches great importance to the awarding of knighthoods.

Titles below the rank of secretary are not too important, and all the procedures can be completed directly by the army to which they belong.

But they can't be above the secretary level, they can serve as county guards, nine secretaries, and governors of various provinces, which is too important, and their promotion must be reported to the central government and approved by special evaluation.

Therefore, Li Xin has made great achievements this time, whether it is supervising the construction of giant cannons to break through Jicheng, or pursuing the Yan army to capture a large amount, he cannot get the corresponding reward for the time being, and he must wait patiently for the decision of Xianyang.

The Qin army's big tent, the generals deliberate.

Xin Sheng and other generals were congratulating Li Xin on his great achievements, and there was no lack of envy and admiration in his words.

Li Xin stood in the tent, facing the praise of his colleagues, he smiled and bowed slightly.

He has enjoyed too much glory in the past few days, and even the sergeants and soldiers of the army are talking about him leading *** to fight for hundreds of miles, such as

The eagle struck the sky and soared into the sky, secretly calling him the "flying general".

Under all the praise.

Li Xin's nature, which was originally suppressed by Wang Qian, has revived again.

Especially when looking at the old rival Qiang, now I don't even dare to look at him.

Li Xin floated.

His heart was swelling exceedingly.

looked at the old general who was holding a silk silk and coughing constantly.

General, old.

At this moment, a voice sounded in Li Xin's heart.

Kept muttering.

He can take his place.
