Chapter 312: Reward
The sect leader and the great elder were shocked not because Xian Ning was full of fighting spirit, but because her body, her shock was not healed yet. If she had caused her injuries to worsen in order to compete with Jiang Xingchen, it would be more than worth the loss!
"Xian Ning, you don't need to do this..." The elder hurriedly spoke and persuaded him.
However, before he finished speaking, Xian Ning stood up, bowed slightly to the two of them, turned around and walked out.
The sect leader and the elder looked at each other, frowned, and said, "Once this girl makes up her mind, she will definitely do her best... People come, immediately notify Dr. Chen Xun to follow Xian Ning at all times, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" The disciple's response 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 sect leader said: "I inform all the major kingdoms that the army will retreat to the city to defend... Humph! They thought they were sure to win, but they didn't know whether it was bright in the east or the west or the west..."
At this time, after the war in the Qiankun Empire, the rewards of the empire were finally announced.
"The Sixth Legion fought bravely, and the soldiers used their lives to defend the Tongyu Kingdom for a month, and worked hard and made great contributions! 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 pushing the territory to a hundred miles..."
This reward almost promoted the officers of the Sixth Legion to a higher level, while the soldiers gave a large amount of money and wealth, and had outstanding military achievements, which promoted the nobles.
Wei Ning was promoted to the second-class marquis, and his family even gave him a large fief. The fief is different from a fief and has no inheritance rights, but the emperor specially approved that the fief of the Wei family will be exempted from tax for three years!
This reward is really great. The Wei family's fief is already rich. It is exempted from tax for three years, at least three million yellow crystal coins.
In the court, the conservative forces were still trying to stop it, but the military headquarters was tough, and the Grand Duke Wang Shuangyang also spoke up and supported Wei Ning. Therefore, the reward was finally passed!
Seeing Wei Ning getting promoted and wealthy, the group of commanders of the sub-legs were so envious that their eyes were blue. They sent letters to the military headquarters, asking for equipment of crossbows. The power of this thing was really jealous. Especially Chen Xuangan. Seeing Wu Tianfeng, Wei Ning, Tang Chuxue and his group of smaller than him improved, they felt so angry that they were so angry that they were so angry.
The marshal also hopes to equip this weapon in the army as soon as possible. Although it is not flexible enough, it is used as a defense. It is definitely a killer weapon.
But those skilled craftsmen were all from the architectural family and were leading the construction of a new town for Xingchen. He really couldn't speak out. Their battle for the Sixth Legion had delayed the construction period.
Therefore, the marshal replied to the major legions, asking them not to worry. Jiang Xingchen had left the drawings and the craftsmen were making them. Not only that, the crossbows seized this time will also be studied and sent to the major legions.
Chen Xuangan was ecstatic when he received the news and was looking forward to showing off his skills after the new equipment.
However, without the craftsmen of the architectural family and the production methods of assembly lines, the manufacturing speed of new weapons was slow. Before the new weapons could be transported, the major kingdoms that were originally invaded and ready to move retreated and could not retreat.
"These grandsons are really not good at peeing!" Chen Xuangan was so angry that he cursed at the top of the Black Mountain Fortress, but he was helpless...
However, for Wei Ning, the happiest thing was not his reward, but the registration of a large number of graduates in the Imperial College.
In this battle, the Sixth Legion also suffered huge losses, with many casualties than the Tongyu Kingdom. It 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 already jealous enough, then the reward of Jiang Xingchen was even more shocking.
"Jiang Xingchen invented a new weapon crossbow, which played a decisive role in the battle between the Sixth Legion and the Tongyu Kingdom. He is now promoted to a first-class viscount. The two hilly wastelands currently developed are all assigned to Jiang Xingchen's territory... In addition, given Jiang Xingchen's contributions in previous battles, he was specially appointed as the military's combat staff, and the accusations he belongs to were appointed by the Marshal!"
As soon as this reward was released, the whole country was shocked, and all the lords were a little confused. The new weapon had a huge effect, resulting in a great victory in the Sixth Legion, ensuring the safety of Qi Yue's leader, and it was understandable to increase the title by one level. But Jiang Xingchen had expanded his territory several times, but why did he expand again, endlessly.
"What is the Emperor doing? Even if he leans towards Jiang Xingchen, it doesn't have to be so obvious!"
"Yes, there are two more wastelands. Is the Emperor going to create another large territory?"
"Also, I also gave a military combat staff officer later! I have never heard of what the combat staff is!"
There are all kinds of discussions within the top leaders of the empire, and they are really envious and jealous of Jiang Xingchen! He is just eighteen years old...
What is strange is that when the emperor proposed this reward in the court, the conservative forces only raised some doubts and stopped obstructing them. This made the emperor, the marshal and the others feel a little strange.
Not only the Emperor was strange, but even Yuan Hao felt it was strange. When he returned to the noble management center, he asked: "Father, Jiang Xingchen's reward is too great, 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 has a profound impact. Wang Shuangyang's old thing supports him from behind. Even if several ancestors were killed in the palace, it would be useless. Where is the credit for them? They can be infinitely magnified!"
"Then you have to stop it. It's too easy for them to get it!" Yuan Hao said.
"If you have to pay, you have to pay back. What is important in the court is a balance. Those middle-aged factions don't want to see one side have an overwhelming advantage! The rewards from Wei Ning and Jiang Xingchen are already big enough..."
Yuan Hao's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Father, I understand. Jiang Xingchen is willing to develop his territory, so let him develop! In the future, Hongyuan City will change hands, and it will fall into our hands!"
"Yes, with the Emperor's protection of Jiang Xingchen and his current connections, we can't do anything to him. But his territory is under the jurisdiction of Hongyuan City!" Yuan Xixuan laughed.
Yuan Hao also laughed, and his depression was finally relieved by the commander of the Eighth Legion...
Almost all the nobles envied Jiang Xingchen when he was awarding this reward. Jiang Xingchen, who had returned to the territory, smiled bitterly.
Whether it was the promotion of the first-class viscount or the expansion of territory again, he was very happy. But the last one, the military's combat staff, made him a little uncomfortable.
This position was obviously to tie him to the military headquarters and he didn't need to participate in anything, but as long as there was a war, it would be strange if he was not arrested.
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen sighed heavily. No matter how unwilling he is, it is useless. If he gives rewards and tells the world, there is no reason to take them back. If he dares to express his differences, the emperor will really turn against him.
The old man looked at the listless Jiang Xingchen and didn't get angry. This little soul was too ungrateful. Is this kind of reward easy? Just say that the wetlands and hills that plant tea are not smaller than your current territory. What else do you want? Isn't it just a name in the military headquarters? Look at your unlucky look.
As the old man thought of this, he heard Jiang Xingchen sigh again: "Hey! The emperor is too stingy. The territory is still twenty miles apart from the wetlands and hills. Such a reward would not divide my territory into two pieces, so that I can't I give it to me all those twenty miles together?"
"Ouch!" The old man was so thundered by Jiang Xingchen's words that the old man was so thunderous in his heart: "This bastard, he is so unsatisfied!"
