Spring and Autumn I Am King

After talking about the inadequacies, Zhao Wuxi asked everyone to talk about why they could win this battle.

As expected by Zhao Wuxi, everyone present claimed that this is the power of a gentleman!

However, the reasons are different.

The reason that Cheng Wu said, three sentences are inseparable from the gods and ghosts.

He talked about a story from the Shang Dynasty: "In the past, Emperor Wu Yi (the grandfather of King Zhou) was immoral. After getting drunk, he used grass and wood to weave a human shape, and then made a leather bag out of cowhide, filled with cow blood, and tied it to a He is called the **** of heaven. Aiming at it with an arrow, he calls himself 'shooting the sky'! So the emperor of heaven was furious, and a few years later, Wu Yi went west to hunt between the river and Wei, and suddenly encountered a thunderstorm, and his armor was shocked to death! "

"Wu Yi's encounter with thunder is very similar to the situation that night. The ministers were watching in the village temple, and they could vaguely see purple energy entwined on the top of the gentleman's head, and he would not retreat for a few days. This is the emperor of heaven protecting the gentleman and punishing the enemy. !"

Cheng Wu pointed his finger at the sky, and his attitude was exaggerated. Most of the people believed this statement and looked in awe. But Zhao Wuxi just kept a mysterious smile, neither admitting nor denying it, just let Cheng Tuan record it.

"Although it is a strange force, what's wrong with being a family?"

As a member of the old Zhao family, Wu Xing did not reject the use of ghosts and gods. After all, in this age of witchcraft, this mysterious personal cult was extremely effective. But because he came from the later generations, he would not go to great lengths to publicly praise witchcraft and ghosts and gods, and he needed to be locked in the cage of wisdom and rationality, just to frighten the enemy and the ignorant.

Under the influence of Zhao Wuxi, Ji Qiao, who has developed a certain interest and understanding of the laws of nature around him, does not believe that this is a strange act. He had already guessed that maybe the wheat flour in the closed door had a wonderful reaction after being caught in the fire, but after verifying the matter with Wu Xian, he closed his mouth. quietly buried in the heart.

Since the word "Tianlei" is useful to a gentleman, let everyone think so for the time being. He won't reveal the "truth" if he has nothing to do.

However, Ji Qiao will not force himself to cater to the shaman's flattery. He sighed with emotion: "In the past, when Duke Wen returned to the country, he trained the people. After two years, he wanted to use it. Hu Yan advised: "The people still don't know righteousness and haven't settled in their homes. So Duke Wen went abroad and decided to use Zhou Xiang. After returning to the country, Wang Tianzi devoted himself to benefiting the people and wanted to use it. Hu Yan also said: The people still don't know how to trust him, so he can't use it. Duke Wen attacked the place, surrounded and released it to show his trust. From then on, Jin people do not seek huge profits. They have no greed."

"At this point, the Duke wanted to use it again, and Hu Yansan said: "The people still don't know the etiquette and law, and they have no reverence for the officials. Jin Wengong held a military parade in Weilu, and used the law of order to serve as an official. So far, Only then did he really recruit and use the Jin people, respect the king and fight against the barbarians, release the siege of the Song Dynasty, conquer Chengpu in one battle, and teach Duke Wen!"

He bowed to Zhao Wuxi and said, "The gentleman will stop at death. Let the people know what is righteousness; grow fields, plant winter wheat, and make the village a bumper harvest, let the people know what faith is; after that, let the people know what is righteousness. Knowing etiquette with enough content, knowing honor and disgrace, establishing military laws, establishing military forces, and making the people fear the laws. From this, people’s hearts can be used, and this battle can be won, and this is the teaching of a gentleman!”

"This battle can be won, and the teaching of a gentleman is also!" Everyone in the hall said.

The merit is in the king. If you are guilty, you will be your servant, which is the common practice at this time.

Zhao Wuxi smiled and accepted it calmly. He also said: "Second and third sons, don't underestimate yourself, this battle can be won. It is not because of me alone, but because of everyone's efforts! It must be rewarded. After the battle of Chengpu in the past, the first emperor Wen Gong gave three awards to the ministers of merit in the country. The level of reward for becoming a township is also similar, and it will be promulgated to the entire army, so that there are no omissions in rewards, and rewards and punishments are fair!"

…

The military meeting is held in the village temple, and only two Sima or more can participate.

The formal commendation for meritorious deeds, which had its own ceremonial system in the Spring and Autumn Period, was called "Yinzhi", and was moved to the outside of the Xiangzhongshe Temple.

Chengxiang Xiaoyi, of course, is not as standard as the drink of the emperor, princes and officials who have returned from victory, but it is also held extremely grandly.

Accompanied by the "Kai Le" of the local music people, the Chinese people were called here to watch. On the short mound built with stones and rammed earth outside the temple, Cheng Wu first went out again, worshipped the soldier Chi You, and comforted the local gods of Chengxiang. Only then did the village chieftain and the three village elders accompany him. Zhao Wuxi took the stage to preside over the ceremony of "She Jue, Ce Xun".

"The merits of a gentleman's subordinates are divided into three categories. The superior merits are rewarded with strategies, and the gentleman is assisted by strategy and command. Those who succeed in the end are awarded the first-class merits. The secondary merits are rewarded for courage, and they can take the risk of flying arrows and flying stones, and make great contributions. Those who do, will be awarded the second-class merits. Those who have made merits will be rewarded for loyalty, conscientious and conscientious, loyal to their duties, and those who have worked hard or won, will be awarded the third-class merits!”

These methods of rewarding merit are still the same set by Duke Wen of Jin. Zhao Wuxi just made some improvements and added some things from later generations. Of course, it may have to be refined and improved in the future.

Under his loud call, people kept stepping forward, Jue She and Ce Xun.

After receiving the emergency without shirts, Yang Tongrong quickly built fortifications, dug ditches, and dispatched troops to rescue shirtless drivers, and led troops to guard the front door. For the first-class merit, he was rewarded with some money and silk, and he was promoted to sergeant.

The talented men caused huge damage to the enemy, and they damaged half of their hands. The five corps commanders lost two of them.

"Collective merit?" The eyes of the two Sima and the corps chiefs of the talented men suddenly lit up.

"Of course, in the future wars, if there are two outstanding soldiers, they will naturally get them. They will have people weave flags and write down their merits. As long as they are compiled in one day, they can be held forever."

A great sense of honor is rising from the hearts of the clerks. Originally, the most eye-catching people in Chengxiang were the two light knights who rode tall and handsome horses and galloped against the wind. Now, the clerks feel that they can also compete with them. shoulder to shoulder!

This collective honor also made the rest of the soldiers jealous and eager to get it.

Most of them did not realize that the war within Jin was only a short-term truce, and there might be a bigger war in the future. Instead, he felt that he was probably going to follow the head of the family, follow the gentleman, go abroad to fight for hegemony, and fight the people of Qi and Zheng!

Xing Ao reported the news for the gentleman and acted as the eyes and ears of everyone on the watchtower at the back door. He shouted hoarsely and knocked on the gong. He was also injured, so he was able to do B-class merit. Because Wang Sunqi's arm was broken, Xing Ao was promoted to be the new Yurong. He was officially trained as a scholar and asked Zhao Yang to restore his status as a descendant of scholar-bureaucrat.

Xing Ao scratched his head. I was very embarrassed to be honored on the ground, but some people questioned: "This son is twelve years old, can he be a gentleman?"

But it was Wang Sunqi who stood up first and spoke for Xing Ao: "In Chengxiang, can someone's chariot skills surpass his? Is there someone who drives faster and is more reliable than him?"

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

So Xing Ao took over the symbolic whip from Wang Sunqi's hand.

"From today onwards. Your imperial skills will be taught, don't forget the way of the master!"

Wang Sunqi himself also died because he rode a horse for the sake of being without a shirt.

Tian Ben beheaded more than a dozen "robbers" before and after, and was the one who killed the most enemies that night. He was awarded the second-class merit and was officially appointed as the corps leader of a group of "swordsmen".

Mucha rescued without mercy, and stuck to the wall. After retreating several times, there were still gains; Yu Xi led the light knights to stop hundreds of thieves, and then ventured to the lower palace to report the news. Both were second-class merits, and the two were given Tian Baimu and promoted to corporal!

Within a year, their identities had changed from being a lowly digger and a herdsman to a scholar class. This rapid promotion rate confirmed Zhao Wuxi's attitude of "only meritorious deeds", which made the savage , The people who came from rogues were heartbroken.

After getting the house given by Zhao Wuxi privately. Yu Xi and Muchia can also respectfully propose marriage and marry their sweethearts.

Ji Qiao and Dou Pengzu coordinated money and grain and managed warehouses. After the war, the Chinese people were quickly organized to repair the walls and resume production. Reward some money and silk.

Cheng Wu sat in the township temple, treated the wounds of the wounded and died in an emergency, and reduced the number of deaths. He was officially recognized by the lower palace as the patriarch of the Cheng clan and was promoted to a corporal.

Cheng Tuan accompanied the gentleman around, although only one person was killed, but he recorded the gentleman's words and the rewards and punishments of the people throughout the process, and was promoted from the pavilion chief to Chengxiang Zuo Shishi.

Jing is conscientious and conscientious, and has been faithfully fulfilling the gentleman's instructions.

When receiving the honor, facing the various gazes of everyone, Jing couldn't help but have mixed feelings. He also asked Zhao Wuxi to give him a family name, please be Wu's family, and he was named Wujing from then on.

"The villain was appointed by the gentleman as the corporal leader when he was in the palace, and he is the corporal leader again today. I would like to use Wu as the clan from generation to generation and be loyal to the gentleman forever."

The rest of the villagers who have been captured have almost all received Class-C meritorious deeds.

And a few villagers and citizens who did not obey the command, ran around with their heads covered, or spread the news of the failure loudly, were punished in accordance with the new military law. One of the serious ones was beheaded at the time, and his head has been hanging in the village temple. His family members are ashamed of it, which is in sharp contrast to today's happy heroes.

These awards were held in a situation where all the villagers and the people of the country were onlookers, so Chengxiang entered a state where everyone was happy when they heard the battle, which was also a state of hope for Zhao Wuxi.

But for this drink, UU reading www. uukanshu.com also has his dissatisfaction: "A-class merit gives 300 acres of land, B-class merit gives 100 mu of land, and C-class merit gives 10 mu of land. As for whether or not to be promoted... It is suitable, but there are The only way to convert it into money and silk for fields and acres is first.”

Regarding this, Zhao Wuxi was also very distressed. His territory was so large and his staff was limited. After a reward, he realized that the official position was not enough, and the title was not enough to be promoted.

"I still have to discuss it with my father, move me to a place where I can perform as soon as possible, and expand as soon as possible..."

The hard work these days is worth it. He is now irreplaceable in Zhao Yang's mind, completely surpassing Bo Lu and others. The winter solstice is approaching, and this year's planning work has also begun. At that time, Zhao Yang will definitely fulfill his promise and allow him to choose a large county of 10,000 households!

But on the other hand, if the war for hegemony between Jin and Qi begins, Wu Xie may have to stay in Xinjiang to preside over the overall situation, or he may follow Zhao Yang to lead his troops and go abroad. (To be continued)
