The prisoners of war intercepted by Li Xin from western Liaoning were imprisoned by the Qin army after entering the city, awaiting disposal.
In the past, many Yan people in the city secretly colluded with each other and wanted to find opportunities to riot. But now they all gave up their thoughts. Wang Jian used Qin Feng's tactics to frighten them and completely shattered the Yan people's resistance.
Jicheng, completely calmed down.
After the war, there must be a reward.
The Qin Dynasty respected military merit. It is said that "those with military merit will receive titles based on their leadership." As long as you perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you will be awarded titles and rewards.
When Li Xin's troops were chasing the King of Yan's convoy, the various Qin troops in Jicheng had already completed their respective merit-based rewards, and most of them were in high spirits with smiles on their faces.
Now that Li Xin has returned from a great victory, it is naturally time for him and his subordinates to reward them based on their merits.
First of all, the Qin army's light chariots and iron cavalry galloped for hundreds of miles in pursuit, and beheaded thousands of Yan's cavalry. This credit was calculated according to the corresponding gains. There is no objection to this fact.
Among them, Shejian shot two Yan army cavalrymen in a chariot battle, resulting in two heads in total. He was promoted to the first level of title, from the second level to the third level of hairpin bird.
Black Butt used his halberd to kill one of the Yan Army's cavalrymen and one of the Yan Army's charioteers who resisted with a sword.
By capturing two heads, Black Butt can also be promoted to a noble title, and like Shejian, become a hairpin bird.
However, according to Zhao Tuo's guess, this black ass must have seen that the two men needed to make the hairpin were insufficient, so he took advantage of the chaos of the car accident to kill a coachman.
The head count has been settled, but the promotion of the two men has not ended yet.
Captured more than 200 officials and ministers of Yan State and wiped out the core class of Yan State.
Such achievements, no matter what, must be achieved only if the entire army is "profitable".
Therefore, all the sergeants and sergeants of this pursuing army, starting from the general Li Xin down, were promoted one level higher on the basis of their knighthoods.
Shejian and Black Buttocks, after a pursuit battle, were promoted two levels in a row and became two different types.
It's a pity that in the previous battle to conquer Jicheng, they were located in the rear and did not participate in the frontline fighting. Although they helped to build the cannon, they could get a lot of accumulation of work and monetary rewards, but they could not advance to the next level of title, otherwise they might be able to fight
Become a fifth-level doctor.
But even so, it also made the black butt laugh with his mouth open, and he ran around with his butt stuck out, constantly shouting that he was "no more black butt".
Even Shejian, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but reveal a happy look on his face.
Moreover, Shebama's contribution does not stop there.
He followed Zhao Tuo to pursue Yan Dan, shot his horse with an arrow, and tied Yan Dan up.
This kind of auxiliary contribution will definitely be indispensable according to the Qin people's character of rewarding meritorious deeds.
It was just because it was related to the "mastermind of assassinating Qin" and the reward had to be decided by the King of Qin himself, so it was temporarily shelved. But it can be foreseen that there will definitely be rewards for Shejian after returning to Xianyang.
As for Zhao Tuo.
Beheading alone has no meaning in not changing the title.
You can only move up a level by intercepting the "Ying Lun" from the Duke of Yan.
He is now the fifth-level knight, doctor!
But for Zhao Tuo, this is by no means the end.
His previous contribution to the construction of the giant cannon has been reported to Xianyang and needs to wait for review.

【Qin General】【】
Xian Miao intercepted the King of Yan's convoy and captured Prince Dan. This achievement was so special that it had to be decided by the King of Qin after returning to Xianyang.
These two great achievements can be said to be the best in the entire army, and the rewards are so rich that one can fully imagine.
Zhao Tuo is also looking forward to what kind of reward he will receive when he returns to Xianyang.
"Sure enough, the battlefield upgrades quickly, and it has been upgraded several levels in a blink of an eye.
"
Zhao Tuo had a smile on his face, but at the same time he whispered in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't listen to Brother Zheng's words, otherwise I would still be a young gentleman immersed in studying."
The merits of the soldiers under Li Xin's command have been distributed. Those who deserve rewards will be rewarded, and those who deserve punishment will be punished.
But he has not changed for the time being.
Because according to the Qin State's military merit and title system, promotions below the rank of fifth official can be concluded within a few days, and new titles can be awarded.
The rewards for the acres and homesteads will be issued by the army and sent to the corresponding counties. The county magistrate and county lieutenant of the local county will be responsible for it. Of course, after the rewards are distributed at all levels, the person who is actually responsible for the land distribution is the township Tian Dian.
, Ridian.
For titles of five or more officers, after merit evaluation in the military, they need to be reported to Xianyang and decided by the Bangwei Mansion or the Lord Lieutenant Mansion before the title and reward can be issued.
The reason for this operation is that the Qin State's twenty-rank title system seems to allow one to climb all the way up through military merit, but in fact there is a strict internal hierarchy.
The twenty-level knighthood is divided into four levels.
Among them, the title does not change from the first level to the fourth level, and it belongs to the lowest rank among the titles, similar to the "scholar" class in the previous feudal era.
Those who hold this title can hold official positions in the military below the rank of 500 Lord, and can also hold official positions in the local area below the rank of the village chief.
The fifth-level doctor to the ninth-level doctor can be compared to the level of "doctor" in ancient times, and we can also tell something about it from their title names.
People with this level of title can live a more prosperous life in Qin.
According to the corresponding title level, one can hold official positions in the army ranging from 500 Lord to Colonel.
If it were in the past, the fifth noble title would even have the right to lead troops to fight alone.
For example, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin attacked Handan, the capital of Zhao, King Wu'an said he was ill and could not do it, so the King of Qin sent five officials, Wang Ling, as the main general.
But nowadays, as the war between Qin and the Six Kingdoms continues, many high-ranking nobles have emerged in response to the situation, resulting in the rank of fifth official being no longer what it used to be.
In the local area, this level of title can be held by everyone from the village husband to the chief and adjutant at all levels of the county, and even the officials of the county government.
Of course, the 2,000-stone level of a county governor is not enough. That requires a higher level of title.
From here onwards, it starts with the tenth level of Zuo Shuchang and continues to the eighteenth level of Great Concubine.
Most of these nine levels of titles are named after concubines and chiefs, and their essence is similar to the "Qing" level in the feudal era.
Belonging to the real elite of Qin.
They can serve from generals to generals in the army, but the number of these positions is limited. There is only one general, and there are only a few generals. If there are too many high-ranking people, they can only be arranged from high to low, with the lowest
Zuo Shuchang often had no choice but to serve as a school captain.
This is also the reason why Huan Zhao had always wanted to be promoted to the right concubine. In Qin, only those with a high enough title can obtain higher positions.

【Qin General】【】
At the local level, from the county governor with two thousand stones to the nine ministers in the central government, these are the stages where the title class of "qing" is active.
And further up, there are the 19th-level Guannai Marquis and the 20th-level Chehou, who belong to the top "Marquis" level.
The difference between the two.
It is said that the Marquis of Guannei has a marquis title, but he lives in the royal territory and has no state.
Chehou, his title is as high as that of the Emperor, and he has a feudal state.
Since then, the titles of the Qin Kingdom have been graded up and down.
Hous, ministers, officials, and scholars are all layered on top of each other, and the hierarchy is strict. The superiority and inferiority of the people are clear at a glance.
Military honors and titles were the basis for the Qin State to be able to sweep through the six kingdoms, so it attached great importance to the awarding of titles.
Titles below the level of minister are not too important, and all procedures can be completed directly by the army to which they belong.
But it is not possible for those above the rank of minister. They can serve as county guards, nine ministers, and officials in various government offices. They are so important that their promotion must be reported to the central government and approved by special review.
Therefore, Li Xin has made great achievements this time, whether it is supervising the construction of huge cannons to attack Jicheng or chasing down the Yan army and capturing huge sums, he will not be able to get corresponding rewards for the time being. He must wait patiently for the decision from Xianyang.
In the Qin army's large tent, the generals discussed matters.
Xin Sheng and other generals congratulated Li Xin for his great achievements, and their words were full of envy and admiration.
Li Xin stood in the tent, facing the praises of his colleagues, he smiled and nodded slightly.
He has enjoyed too many honors in the past few days. Even the sergeants in the army are talking about him leading the army to fight for hundreds of miles, soaring like an eagle in the sky, secretly calling him "Flying General".
Under all the praise.
Li Xin's nature, which had been suppressed by Wang Jian, revived again.
Especially when looking at his old enemy Qiang Su, now he doesn't even dare to look at him.
Li Xin is floating.
His heart was extremely swollen.
Looking at the old general sitting on the general's seat, covering his hands with silk cloth and coughing non-stop.
General, you are old.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Li Xin's heart.
