Chapter 23 Meritorious Service

If they knew that Chen Mingchuan was actually guarded by more than a dozen Yuan Shen real people, they would not have launched an attack on Chen Mingchuan with such confidence!

A stream of sword light and evil qi, as well as thunder and flames, attacked the past.

The mages resisted and dodged, but the next moment, they were surrounded by countless golden mages.

"It's not good, the target guard force is too strong, the plan fails, we go ......"

Amid the shouts, many mages left behind a few corpses and hurriedly retreated.

However, if you don't forgive people, how can those true people of the Yuan God be willing to let them escape?

They came this time, in addition to guarding Chen Mingchuan, just to eradicate these spies.

In the blink of an eye, the true people of the Yuan Shen chased after them, not afraid at all that this was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Because it's not just their strength that guards Chen Mingchuan!

Wang Shouwei is a police officer who is carrying out a very important special task with his colleagues today.

What the specific task is, they don't know.

Just know that their task is to guard the perimeter of the railway station.

It is said that there are big people who will come from the capital of the gods.

"What kind of big man could it be? Could it be His Majesty the Emperor? I heard that His Majesty the Emperor likes to go out of the palace and inspect everywhere......"

When he was thinking like this, he heard a gunshot from the train station in the distance, which made him suddenly feel a chuckle in his heart, not good!

The entire train station was already surrounded by soldiers, indicating that the big man had arrived.

Now there are gunshots, could it be that someone assassinated the big guy?

Thinking of this, Wang Shouwei couldn't help but glance at a few of his companions who were standing guard at the corner of the street, and each pulled out his long sword.

Although the power of the steam gun is not less than that of the gunpowder gun, or even surpasses, it is inconvenient to use and needs to be filled with a high-pressure boiler at any time.

More importantly, steam guns were long guns, not short guns.

So as a police officer, all you are equipped with is a long sword.

However, Wang Shouwei is quite confident in his swordsmanship, and he was recruited into the police force only after passing the swordsmanship assessment.

Without an order, although these policemen drew their weapons, they could only be on guard and did not dare to run around.

However, at this moment, they saw a figure flickering, covered in blood, rushing towards the excuse they were guarding.

"Damn, be careful...... It's a mage......"

Exclamations came from Wang Shouwei and his companions.

At this moment, the hand holding the long sword had begun to tremble.

Although Wang Shouwei is very confident in his swordsmanship, he has not yet opened his mind. Neither a samurai nor a knight, but now facing a mage, he has no bottom in his heart!

However, as a police officer, he must not hide at this time, otherwise his job will not be guaranteed.

What's more, the police enforce military law during many missions, and he is likely to be prosecuted for desertion.

At that time, it will not be as simple as not having a job, but a matter of possibly going to a military court.

Once this happens, his life will be completely ruined, because he will not be able to hold any public office in the future. You'll be treated differently for the rest of your life!

Therefore, at this time, knowing that he would die, he had no choice but to fight!

In fact, at this time, not only Wang Shouwei, but even the policemen were average, and at this time, he took the plunge and raised his long sword and rushed over.

The next moment, Wang Shouwei felt as if he had been hit by a steam chariot, and almost flew up, and then he didn't know what to do.

When he woke up, he already felt a splitting headache and was already in the hospital.

"You're awake, Wang Shouwei Gongshi!"

A doctor smiled at him and said, "You've had a mage treat your injuries, and now you're alright, right?"

The mage has great powers, and since he has treated himself, he will definitely not be able to die, and it is estimated that he will not be disabled or something.

This made Wang Shouwei breathe a sigh of relief, and then he remembered something, and said, "Doctor, what did you say?"

The doctor smiled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? You are very brave this time, you were injured in the line of duty, and you have reported to the Valce Mansion and upgraded your title to one level, and now you are a public officer!"

"Huh?"

Wang Shouwei sighed happily, the title is rare. Even the lowest rank of Duke of the Duke can only be conferred after meritorious service to the state.

Even in the military, not every soldier has it, let alone a member of a para-armed force like him.

It has only been a few years since the implementation of the title of Daqi, and when the reserve mobilization system was set up according to the officer corps sent by the Valaedin Empire, coupled with the national conditions of Daqi, and then the opinion of Yin Shengzhi, the military merit title system has been re-implemented in Daqi.

This kind of military merit title system is different from the aristocratic title system that most people in their consciousness.

The military merit title system can be conferred by the whole people, and anyone who has made national merit may be awarded a knighthood.

Most importantly, each title has a corresponding social status and penetrates into all aspects of society.

This made the officers of Waraedin admire, and thought that it was better than their medal system.

Under the enforcement of the Great Qi, those with low titles must make way for those with high titles and avoid the road.

For example, if your family has a lot of property and is rich enough to rival the country, but the title is too low, and you meet a poor man with a higher title than you, you have to salute each other and make way when you meet on the road.

It's okay not to give way, and if you are caught, you will be fined directly, and you will be whipped.

In addition to various priorities, there are also tax incentives, and the higher the title, the lower the proportion of taxes paid.

Of course, the military merit title system of Daqi is still being explored.

After all, this era is different now, and it is impossible to copy all the things of the classical militaristic era back then.

In the classical **** era, pay attention to profits, and you can't be knighted if you don't plough and fight. Forcing the people of the world to only farm well and fight, otherwise they will not be able to get ahead.

And this kind of era is definitely impossible, for example, an inventor invented an important weapon, so is it a merit for the country?

For example, if a factory owner pays a huge amount of taxes, he can be regarded as making a huge contribution, but he can't really walk on the road and really encounter mud legs to give way, right?

It's the age of capital, wow!

Therefore, for the sake of national merit, it is not necessarily necessary to go to the battlefield to cut off the head.

For example, now that Wang Shouwei has won the knighthood, he is not on the battlefield.

Instead, facing the mage, who was in danger of death, he rushed forward without hesitation, blocking the mage for a moment, allowing the pursuers to shoot the mage.

This is the merit, and it is enough to be knighted!

At this moment, Wang Shouwei narrowly escaped life, and finally got the title, and suddenly smiled on his face.

"By the way, what happened to my colleagues?" Wang Shouwei asked.
