Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 826 Guards
Wang Xiaolie looked at the document in front of him, rubbed his eyes, and stood up.After walking back and forth for two steps, he came back and stood looking at the official documents on the table.

Meng Du, a 19-year-old from Chuantou Village, Changle Town, Pucheng, Huazhou.After Wang Xiaolie captured Shanzhou, he joined the army with his fellow villagers and entered the new barracks in Ruicheng.Because of his excellent training, he was assigned to Jiang Min's division.Participated in several small battles before, killed 16 enemies, and was about to be promoted to escort team.Due to illiteracy, the matter was postponed.The army originally planned to spare time to let him specialize in studying. In the future, he participated in the Battle of Northern Shaanxi in time.In the battle of Dantouzhai, he was ambushed by the Jin army and unfortunately died for his country.

Originally, he was a member of the right camp of Zhang Zhentuan. Because of the large losses in the former military camp, he was added to the former military camp many times.During the battle, 130 people were killed, and 43 Jin people were suspected of being killed by Meng Du.Together with the former barracks, won many times.

"130 four people, more than the number of enemies wiped out by one capital." Wang Xiaolie sighed.Such a soldier, such an ending, is indeed a pity.

He raised his head and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun outside.The setting sun shines on the table and chairs in the room, drawing a golden edge.

If in the past, they didn't pay attention to the military achievements of soldiers, but only paid rewards, such soldiers would not even keep their names.Even the reward money issued will be withheld due to the death of the person.Meng Du's original record was only to kill 67 enemies, exactly half of it.

This is the case in Wang Xiaohun's army, but in other armies, the situation will be even worse.It is not uncommon for names to be concealed and rewards to be distributed privately.Wang Xiaolie will not pursue why there are so few previous records. This situation abounds, and there are reasonable excuses.

Below is the impression of his colleagues.Taciturn, upright temperament, often quarrel with the soldiers around.Often alone, depressed, not active with colleagues, not knowing what to think.

He seems to be a loner, and he is easy to offend people when he speaks, and has a bad relationship with his peers.At this time, I looked at the front again and said that because of illiteracy, I missed the opportunity for promotion.He was about to be sent to study full-time, but before he had time, a war broke out.In this case, it is only for others to see after death.

Such modification cannot be avoided.You can't go to verify it. If you verify it, it is true and there is no falsehood.

This person is dead.The things behind him are either beautified, splashed with dirty water, or ignored, all of which are helpless.Choosing him as an example for soldiers to count their merits can only ensure that these things are within a certain range and cannot be completely avoided.

Sitting down at the table again, he read Mengdu's materials again, before Wang Xiaolie commented on them.

"Xun, you can become a king. After Mengdu joined the army, he trained hard and set an example. When he participated in the war, he fought bravely and killed the enemy. If he made great achievements, he should be rewarded with honors. Today, the former list of honors is reduced, and the pillars and guards are used. , Qingche Duwei, Qiduwei, Xiaoqiwei, Feiqiwei, Yunqiwei, Wuqiwei Fanba, etc., reward meritorious soldiers. Zhuguo and Hujun are special meritorious services, and the matter of enshrining the shrine and its descendants is determined by the court The captain of Qingche and the captain of cavalry are major meritorious service, and the affairs of worshiping the temple and descendants are in charge of the state officials. The rest are minor merits, and the affairs of serving the temple and descendants are in charge of the county officials. Mengdu killed many enemies, and fought to the death If you die, you should be rewarded with the honor of guarding the army. For the rest of the soldiers who have meritorious service, they will be unified for medium meritorious service, and will be ruled for minor meritorious service. When the rank of honor is established, the whole army will reward meritorious service."

This is what Wang Xiaolie has considered for a long time.

Xun is actually a kind of official, and has lost the original meaning of Xun.During the reign of Huizong Zhenghe, the civil servants had been given honors.In the past two years, it's nothing more than military ministers bestowing honors.Although there is no clear text now, Wang Xiaolie assumed that the imperial court had abolished the honor system and gave soldiers instead.

There are two systems for military merit rewards for officials and soldiers.All officials use the hero system.It's just that multiple characters are no longer used, but only two characters are used to distinguish between superior and inferior.The system of meritorious officials in the Song Dynasty was abolished during the Yuanfeng reign of Shenzong, and it was reintroduced at this time.

These are actually the responsibilities of the imperial court, and it is inappropriate for Wang Xiaolie to do them.However, after receiving Zhao Gou's edict, Wang Xiaolie decided not to worry about those vain names any longer, and made a decision on his own, and passed it in his own jurisdiction.What the court does is the business of the court.

When Wang Ruohai got the official document, he was stunned for a long time when he saw Wang Xiaolie's annotation.Of course he knew that this was not a matter for the courtiers to decide, but Wang Xiaolie had already made a decision, so he hesitated and sent the official document.Since Wang Xiaolie didn't discuss it with himself, he shouldn't ask about such things.

Shu Jiming was awarded as a loyal and brave hero, the second rank of great merit, which is still far away from special merit.Wang Zhongfu is the hero of Guo Yi, the third rank of great merit.But the most important thing is that Meng Du was given honorary guards, which was the only case in the whole army. The official document came to their camp, asking to re-examine whether Meng Du's achievements were true.

Shu Jiming and Wang Zhongfu, you look at me, I look at you.Finally, he said: "The guard was originally the ninth rank of honor, and it is impossible for him to be a hero and veteran general. Now it is bestowed on a soldier, what should we do?"

Wang Zhongfu shook his head and said, "Don't make wild guesses about this kind of thing. Xuanfu must have his own rules. We don't ask what we should do, and don't ask about the rest. After the gift, Xuanfu must have specific rules, according to the requirements of the superiors. Just do it."

Shu Jiming shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

After arranging the matter, Wang Zhongfu took his official document and said, "What's the use of us? It says that Zhizhou will take care of the family, and he has to greet the four seasons and make decisions. But for us, these are useless, right?"

Shu Jiming said: "How do I know? Anyway, this hero should be useful - at least there is a reward."

Wang Zhongfu sighed: "I always feel that the rewards for the soldiers this time are more useful, and the rewards for the officials are just rewards."

Shu Jiming said: "Not necessarily. Soldiers have to be above the special meritorious service, and the great merit is much worse. As for the officials, I think of one advantage, that is, they may be promoted later. When I am promoted, I am a hero, no more than others. Strong officials?"

Wang Zhongfu laughed when he heard this, nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right."

Compared with before, officials' merit calculations are indeed not the same.It's just that the sense of honor has been strengthened, and the rewards have been reduced.Some people are happy, some people are depressed.Of course, the impact of being promoted to rank cannot be seen now, and it will only wait until later.

Relatively speaking, the recruits Wang Xiaolie recruited to join the army had no complaints, while those transferred from the previous army had all sorts of strange things to say.Some of their previous armies had a lot of rewards, and some were promoted quickly, and there were always various reasons.

In previous battles, this kind of phenomenon has always been more or less common, and it is not uncommon.What's more special this time is Mengdu's guards. Everyone is watching what's going on.
