Chapter 312: Reward
The Sect Master and the Great Elder were frightened, not because of Xian Ning's fighting spirit, but because of her body, her shock injury was not healed, if in order to compete with Jiang Xingchen, her injury worsened, it would be more than worth the loss!
"Xian Ning, you don't have to be like this......" The Great Elder hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.
However, before he finished his words, Xian Ning got up directly, bowed slightly to the two of them, turned around and walked out.
The Sect Master and the Great Elder glanced at each other, frowned, and said, "Once this girl makes up her mind, she will definitely go all out... Someone came, immediately notify Doctor Chen Xun and ask him to follow Xian Ning at all times, there must be no mistake!"
"Yes!" the disciple's voice came from outside the door, and the footsteps quickly left.
The Great Elder asked in a low voice, "What should we do now, Tongyu is defeated......
The suzerain said: "Inform the major kingdoms, and the army will retreat to the city to hold on...... They think they've won, but they don't know that the east is not bright, and the west is bright......."
At this time, the Qiankun Empire, after the Great War, the imperial reward was finally announced.
"The Sixth Legion fought bravely, the soldiers used their lives, and defended the Tongyu Kingdom for a month, and the hard work was high! The commander of the legion, Wei Ning, returned to the battlefield after being seriously injured, and won a great victory, killing more than 30,000 enemies, and advancing the territory for 100 miles......"
This reward almost promoted the officers of the Sixth Legion by one rank, and the soldiers rewarded a large amount of money, and those who had made outstanding achievements in war were promoted to nobility.
Wei Ning was promoted to a second-class marquis, and the family even gave a large estate. Unlike fiefdoms, there is no right of inheritance, but the emperor has granted special approval. The Wei family's mining is tax-free for three years!
This reward is really not small, and the mining for the Wei family is already rich. Tax exemption for three years, at least 3 million citrine coins.
Above the court, the conservative forces still wanted to stop it, but the military department had a tough attitude, and Grand Duke Wang Shuangyang also released his words to support Wei Ning. So, the bounty finally passed!
Seeing Wei Ning's promotion to become rich. A group of sub-regiment commanders were so envious that their eyes were blue, and they sent letters to the military headquarters one after another, asking for ballistas to be equipped. The power of this thing is really eye-catching. Especially Chen Xuangan, seeing that Wu Tianfeng, Wei Ning, Tang Chuxue and a group of people who were younger than him had all improved. I breathed a big sigh in my heart.
The marshal also wanted to equip the army with such weapons as soon as possible. Although it is not flexible enough, it is definitely a big killer when used as a defense.
But those skilled craftsmen are all from a family of builders, and they are building a new town for Xingchen Ling, he really has no way to speak, and the construction period has been delayed for the battle of the Sixth Legion.
Therefore, the marshal replied to the major legions. Let them not worry, Jiang Xingchen has already left the drawings. Artisans are making it. Not only that, but the machine crossbow captured this time will also be studied and distributed to the major legions.
Chen Xuan, who received the news, was overjoyed, and looked forward to showing his skills after the new equipment.
However, without the craftsmen of the building families and the assembly line of production, the production of new weapons would be slow. Before the new weapons arrived, the major kingdoms that were originally overwhelmed by the soldiers and were about to move all retreated and could not retreat.
"These grandsons, they really don't have pee!" Chen Xuan was so angry that he scolded at the head of the Black Mountain Fortress, but he was helpless......
However, for Wei Ning, the happiest thing was not his reward, but the large number of graduates in the Imperial Academy who signed up for the army.
In this big battle, the Sixth Legion also suffered great losses, with many casualties compared to the Tongyu Kingdom, and continued to inject fresh blood, and the addition of a large number of students just solved his urgent need.
If the reward of the Sixth Legion was enough to make people blush, then the next reward for Jiang Xingchen was even more shocking.
"Jiang Xingchen, who invented a new weapon, the ballista, played a decisive role in the battle between the Sixth Legion and the Tongyu Kingdom, and is now promoted to a first-class viscount, and the two hilly wastelands that are now developed are all owned by Jiang Xingchen's territory...... In addition, in view of Jiang Xingchen's merits in previous battles, he was specially appointed as the operational staff officer of the military department, and the accusation was designated by the marshal!"
As soon as this reward came out, the whole country shook, and the major lords were a little confused. The role of the new weapon was huge, leading to a great victory for the Sixth Legion, ensuring the safety of Qi Yueling, and it was understandable that the title would be upgraded by one level. But Jiang Xingchen has already expanded his territory several times, how can he expand again, endlessly.
"What is the Great Emperor doing here, even if he is biased towards Jiang Xingchen, it doesn't need to be so obvious!"
"Yes, there are two wastelands again, is the Emperor going to make another big territory?"
"Also, I gave it to an operational staff officer of the military headquarters in the back! Paralyzed, I have never heard of what an operational staff officer is!"
There were all kinds of discussions within the top echelons of the empire, and they were really envious and jealous of Jiang Xingchen! He was only eighteen years old......
What is strange is that in the court, when the emperor proposed this reward, the conservative force only raised a slight doubt, and no longer obstructed it. This made the emperor and the marshal feel a little strange.
Not only was the emperor strange, but even Yuan Hao felt strange, and when he returned to the aristocratic management center, he asked: "Father, Jiang Xingchen's reward is too big, why don't you stop it!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Xixuan sneered: "Can you stop it, everyone knows the importance of Qi Yueling to the empire, the significance of this war is far-reaching, Wang Shuangyang's old thing is supporting it in the back, even if a few old ancestors die in the palace hall, it is useless, the merits of the people are there, and they can be infinitely magnified!"
"Then we have to stop it, it's too easy for them to get!" Yuan Hao said.
"If there is a pay, there must be a return, what the court pays attention to is a balance, and those middle factions don't want to see one side have an overwhelming advantage! Wei Ning and Jiang Xingchen's rewards are already big enough......
Yuan Hao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Father, I understand, Jiang Xingchen is willing to develop the territory, so let him develop!
"Yes, with the emperor's maintenance of Jiang Xingchen and his current connections, we can't help him. But his territory is under the jurisdiction of Hongyuan City!" Yuan Xixuan said with a smile.
Yuan Hao also laughed, and the depressed mood because of the commander of the Eighth Army finally eased a little at this moment......
Almost all the nobles were envious of Jiang Xingchen's reward. Jiang Xingchen, who had already returned to the territory, smiled bitterly.
Whether it was the promotion of a first-class viscount or the expansion of the territory again, he was very happy. But the last one, the operational staff officer of the military department, made him a little awkward.
This position is obviously to tie him to the military department, and it seems that he does not need to be involved in anything, but as long as there is a war, it would be strange if he was not captured.
"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen sighed heavily, no matter how unwilling he was now, it was useless, the reward was announced to the world, how could there be any reason to take it back. If he dared to express his dissenting opinion, the emperor should really turn his face.
The old man looked at the listless Jiang Xingchen, and he didn't get angry, this little soul is weak, and he doesn't know how to brew it, is it easy to give such a reward, just say that the wetlands and hills where tea is planted are not smaller than the scope of your current territory, what do you want, isn't it just to put a name in the military department, look at your unlucky appearance.
As soon as the old man thought of this, he heard Jiang Xingchen sigh again: "Hey, the emperor is also stingy, the territory is still twenty miles away from the wetlands and hills, isn't this kind of reward dividing my territory into two pieces, can't you give me those twenty miles together?"
"Oops!" The old man was thundered by Jiang Xingchen's words, and his heart howled: "This rabbit cub, he's too dissatisfied!" (To be continued......)
