Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 131 Seven battles and seven victories (Fifth update! Please subscribe!)
After resting in Yangjiao Village for a day, Luo Cheng led his army to attack again.

In half a month, Luo Cheng used his troops seven times to flatten seven villages within dozens of miles around Yangjiao Village.The situation of these villages is basically the same as that of Yangjiao Village. They are all villages with hundreds of people.At the same time, there is basically a group of thieves in each village.

There are more or less bandits, but they live together.

Some fugitives sometimes go down the mountain to follow the robbers to commit crimes, and some robbers also cultivate the land themselves, which is a very strange situation.

But Luo Cheng didn't care about this, he dared to abandon his country and escape, or steal or civilians, this is absolutely not allowed.

Five hundred county soldiers attacked seven times, and each time they won in one battle. Facing these wolves and tigers, the scattered and few bandits were no match at all.

Either die or surrender, no one can escape.

A total of 57 thieves and bandits were killed, 320 thieves were captured, and 370 four fugitives were captured.

In addition, a lot of food, cloth, livestock, money and weapons were seized.

Successive success reports were sent to Zhangqiu, making Zhang Xutuo in Zhangqiu city a little suspicious that Luo Cheng had falsely reported his military exploits.Fortunately, after sending Jia Wuben to inspect it himself, he finally believed that Luo Cheng's victory was true.

Although these eight villages are all small fish and shrimps, after the report, it is said that eight villages were destroyed, nearly a hundred thieves were killed, and more than a thousand thieves were captured. Whether you are a fugitive or a hermit, in the eyes of the government , Those people are just like bandits.

Zhang Xutuo has no objection to Luo Cheng's practice of handing out the seized as a reward and only handing over [-]%.

I want the horse to run, but I also want the horse not to eat grass. How can it be so easy.Now that Luo Cheng supports the war with war, he has greatly reduced his reliance on food, grass and equipment in the rear. At the same time, his military discipline has been maintained very well. There has been no burning, killing, looting, or rape of prostitutes, so he naturally turns a blind eye. Eyes are acquiescence.

Jia Wuben came again on behalf of Zhang Xutuo.

During the period when Luo Cheng was suppressing the bandits, Zhang Xutuo had also mobilized soldiers from all counties and counties to set up nets on six sides of Changbai Mountain. At the same time, he led the main force into the mountain.

Before the Pioneer Battalion.

Jia Wuben publicly announced the county's reward to Luo Cheng.

"Give Pioneer Yingluo the title of Lixin Lieutenant, and give him 50 taels of gold."

This is a reward for Luo Cheng, the vanguard who led the army to suppress the bandits. Every time before, Luo Cheng did not reward himself for his merits.But how could Zhang Xutuo forget him, now his reward is down.

Li Xinwei.

From Jiupin.

This is not an official position, but a casual order.

In the Sui Dynasty, there were official positions, scattered ranks, and titles. It turned out that there were honorary titles.

However, after today's son succeeded to the throne, in the third year of Daye, the official system was changed and the ranks were changed again.Abolished Tejin, Hachiro, Bawei and Shishi and other honorary officials, and provincial officials.

Sanguan and Xunguan merged, and the revised Sanguan ranks range from first to ninth grade, from Kaifu Yitong Sansi to Li Xinwei, there are nine doctors and eight lieutenants, plus Kaifu Yitong Sansi, a total of [-] grades.

Li Xinwei is the lowest level of loose officials.

A casual official is not a ministerial officer. A ministerial officer is someone who is dispatched by a ministry and has a position to manage things.As for Sanguan, it is a title, or equivalent to a rank.

Just like the county magistrate is an official, but the county department level is just one level.

As long as there is no rank in the class, then only enjoy the corresponding treatment and not be a director.

Sanguan first started in the Han Dynasty, without seals and ribbons, and without directors.Since the Han and Wei Dynasties, a large number of scattered officials have become additional officials and titles.At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Northern Six Officials and Nine Commandments system was abolished, and the Han and Wei official systems were restored.

Now that Xun San is merged, San Jie has always been a kind of honorary title for officials, which has no practical significance.

Of course, the eight lieutenants at the bottom are actually more of a reward for the meritorious soldiers of the government soldiers.

Now Zhang Xutuo has invited a Sanjie of Li Xinwei for Luo Cheng.

With this loose rank from the ninth rank, Luo Cheng can be regarded as promoted from the original white man to official career and officialdom, with a rank.In this way, his acting county lieutenant has some basis.

As for the 50 taels of gold, it was actually a discount of [-] taels, but the reward had to be paid from the capture of Luo Cheng's Pioneer Camp.

"What about official positions?"

The fourth child was dissatisfied when he saw that Jia Wuben had finished the reward in one sentence.

"Juncheng has recommended Shicheng to the imperial court to serve as Zhangqiu county lieutenant, but the court official department rejected it, but the official department has not yet selected a new county lieutenant candidate, so for the time being, Shicheng will serve as acting county lieutenant until now. Until the new county lieutenant takes office."

"That's it?" The fourth child's fist was already clenched.

"Fourth Luo, what kind of fist are you throwing at my father? My father is just here to inform, he is not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Seeing that someone disrespected his father, Jia Runpu immediately opened his eyes and shouted.

"Fuck, what kind of bullshit reward is this? My fifth younger brother has made such great achievements, and in the end, he just passed away from the rank nine Lixinwei?"

Jia Wu didn't pay attention to Luo Cunxiao, he said to Luo Chengdao, "Jun Cheng was also very dissatisfied with the result, and has written to the court again, but don't put too much hope in this matter, after all, you come from an ordinary background and are young. It is not surprising that the princes above the court ignore it."

It would be a lie to say not disappointed.

But so far, Luo Cheng has nothing to complain about.

After all, the Sui Dynasty was considered an aristocratic society.

The Guanlong Group controlled the imperial court, and the glory of the Eight Pillars Country was still shining in Daxing City. Even the top gentry of the five surnames and seven families in the Kanto region were suppressed and beaten by them. Not really, no background and no backing, why did the princes in the court take care of such a little guy as him?

But anyway, with Zhang Xutuo's support, there is nothing to give at last. Li Xinwei, who is from the ninth rank, can be regarded as giving Luo Cheng an official status.

Even if you have no job and nothing to do, you can enjoy a lot of privileges if you have a loose official rank, become a member of the bureaucratic class, and become a privileged class.

For example, if you are just an ordinary person, even if you have money, you can only own a hundred acres of land at most.But with a ninth-rank official rank, one becomes a bureaucrat. For example, Li Xinwei of the ninth rank, the imperial court will also grant an official Yongyetian of [-] mu.If he can have a ministry, he can also have a job field.

Aristocratic bureaucrats are given preferential treatment by land, and Yongye land is not restricted, up to a hundred hectares.

In short, when you become an official, not only will you be awarded permanent land, job land, etc., but the amount of land ownership will also be greatly increased. As long as you have money, you can become a landlord, or even a big landlord.

Ordinary people are not qualified to become landlords with more than [-] acres of land.

On the other hand, with a loose official, one foot has already entered the officialdom, and he will have the opportunity to seek another job in the future and become a real official.

It's just that the fourth child is not convinced at all.

Such a great contribution, even refused to give a ministry, this is too bullying.

He also thought that if Lao Wu was promoted to county lieutenant based on his meritorious service, he might have the opportunity to take over the post of captain of the county barracks, and if not, he could also get a ninth-rank official rank.

"We don't accept it!" The fourth child yelled, scratching his neck.

"Presumptuous, step back." Luo Cheng shouted back the fourth child, what's the use of not being convinced, let alone talking to Lao Jia.This world is a world of power. When there is no capital, people speak lightly. In the eyes of those princes in Daxing City, they are nothing more than ants, even ants whose names they can't even remember.

"I don't agree!"

"Get off!"

"I just don't agree!"

Luo Cheng said to the third brother Siye, "Third brother, take Luo Cunxiao, the leader of the team, and lock the black room tightly."

Siye nodded, he was also very dissatisfied, but he didn't say it directly like the fourth brother, "fourth brother, go, go out and calm down."
