Chapter 1025 Why Don't You Make People Happy?

On the 26th of the first month, at the exact hour of the hour, the brave army held a very grand awarding ceremony on the campus outside Chi Castle.

Originally, in the entire brave army, only Yongningbo Zhang Cheng did not need to be awarded a rank, because no one was qualified to award him a military rank!
However, in order to show the integrity of his position and fully deserve the supreme rank of General in the Courageous Army, Zhang Cheng still organized a conferring ceremony for himself, which took a lot of effort.

First of all, Fu He Biao, the commander-in-chief of the Bravery Army, climbed onto the high platform and read aloud the "Regulations on Military Ranks of the Bravery Army".

After Fu He Biao, the chief town officer, finished reading the "Regulations on Military Ranks", it was after Wu Zhizhong, the chief general of the Weiyuan Camp and the veteran battalion chief of the Yongyi Army, read the "Rules for Awarding Ranks" on the stage, and then He Biao announced the official start of the "Initial Awarding Ceremony of the Yongyi Army".

At this time, I saw Jin Xinpeng, Commander of Kaipingwei, and Yan Qingrong, Commander of Yongningwei, two former Xuanbei ministers boarded the general platform. They both knelt in front of Zhang Cheng's handsome chair, representing the local military households under the rule of the Yongyi Army. The people asked him to accept the rank of general.

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng bowed slightly on the handsome chair and waved his hands to show his refusal. Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong still knelt down, kowtowed again and begged loudly.

Suddenly, Wu Zhizhong, Wei Zhice, Zhang Guodong, Chen Zheng, Zhang Guangda, Li Jiyu and other generals of the six battalions of the Yongyi Army also stood up and left their seats in front of Yongning Boshuai's chair. Then ask Zhang Cheng to accept the rank of general.

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng was still sitting firmly on the big tiger-skin chair, he waved his hand kindly to refuse, but he didn't get up to accept the feelings of the crowd, even though they knelt together and remained unmoved.

Just when everyone thought that the stalemate would continue like this, He Biao, the governor of the Yongyi Army, also got up and left his seat, came to Yongningbo's handsome chair, knelt down, and begged loudly: "General, this is my North Road!" The hearts of soldiers and civilians are supported and eagerly hoped.

I also ask the general not to refuse any more. The above should follow the destiny of heaven, and the bottom will follow the aspirations of the people. Only in this way can we strengthen the morale of our army, boost our morale, and make our courageous army work together. But it's not good! "

Almost at the same time, the generals went up and down the stage, from the deputy generals of the battalions to the officers at all levels of commanders, generals, hundred commanders, team officers, and armor commanders, and all the officers and soldiers knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and shouted: "Please! The general obeyed the will of heaven, obeyed the will of the people, and was invited by the army to strengthen the morale and morale of the army, so that our courageous army will be united, and there will be no disadvantages!"

The sound of the thousands of troops shouting in unison shook the heavens and the earth, and it was heard several miles away, which was enough to change the color of the sky and the earth. The shouting represented the unity of all people.

Seeing this situation, Yongningbo Zhang Cheng also knew that he had already done enough. If he remained unmoved, things would turn against each other, which would hurt the enthusiasm of the loyal and brave soldiers.

He stood up from the handsome tiger-skin chair, bowed deeply to Fu He Biao and other officials and generals of the chief town, as well as the elite soldiers of the ten thousand battalions below the stage, and said in a loud voice: "I don't want to accept this title. , but I want to confer military ranks on all your beloved generals first, and now that all the generals are united in their request, how can I insist on refusing it?"

Zhang Cheng stepped forward, passed the officers and generals on the platform, and came to the edge of the platform. He waved his hand to the more than ten thousand elite soldiers of the Yongyi Army who were kneeling below, and shouted loudly: "Boys, get up!"

The soldiers of the various battalions under the stage stood up one after another when they heard the sound, and someone suddenly shouted: "General...Long live..."

"Great General... Long live... Long live... The brave army... Long live... Long live..."

All of a sudden, the whole field roared together, because the roar came from the hearts of the soldiers, and there was no rehearsal or drill beforehand, so even though all the troops roared together, they were not very uniform.

In the sound of "Long Live", there are also roars of "Wan Sheng" in between, one after another, it is impossible to tell whether the soldiers are shouting "Long Live" or "Wan Sheng"?
It is said that later, Bo Yongning Zhang Cheng offended many people in Xuanfu and in central Beijing because of the fake military ticket. .

But when the imperial court sent officials to check, no matter it was the officers and generals who participated in it at that time, or the military households and merchants inside and outside the Chi Castle, they all confirmed with one voice.

At that time, the soldiers of the brave army shouted "Long live the brave army" and "Great general, Wansheng".

This made those villains who thought that Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng could be cut off by this, immediately turned off their fire, and had to die down, and then find other ways and excuses to attack Zhang Cheng.

Of course, these are all later stories.

Now, watching the black armored warriors stand up in rows, it feels like watching the waves keep rolling backwards, Zhang Cheng's eyes are a little moist.

In these years of hard work, he has wandered between life and death several times, which can be said to be close to death, but now looking at the loyal and brave soldiers who are like wolves and tigers under the general stage, Zhang Cheng's heart is filled with emotion.

He thinks his life is worth it!
Slowly retreating to his handsome tiger-skin chair, Zhang Cheng stood upright, his golden armor glowing brightly under the sunlight, emitting a dazzling light, and Yongningbo, standing in the midst of the light, stood like a god in the sun. Down.

"You all get up too." Zhang Cheng looked at the kneeling generals and spoke in a deep voice.

Chief Governor Fu He Biao didn't get up as he said, he still knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly: "Please follow the destiny and the people's will, and accept the title of 'Great General'."

Zhang Cheng looked at this stubborn old subordinate, shook his head slightly, and said loudly: "He Biao, get up. Benbo has decided to accept the rank of general!"

Only then did He Biao get up slowly and unhurriedly, then bowed and saluted: "The general led us to fight the giant deer, kill slaves and bandits, aid Henan Province, and suppress bandits.

Leading us to fight all the way from the thousands of horses and thousands of troops to the present, it can be said that without the general, there would be no "Brave Army" today, and we would not have the glory we have today.

The "Brave Army" can be called the "Brave Army" just because you are there. You are the soul of the "Brave Army" and the god in our hearts.

This is the highest rank of the 'Brave Army', and only you are qualified to possess it. If you insist on not accepting this title, how dare we accept the honor you bestow on us! "

Zhang Cheng looked at He Biao and the generals behind him, and comforted him with a smile, "Okay. Ben Bo understands your wishes and has decided to accept the rank of 'General'."

He then puffed out his chest again, and said loudly: "Please ask the governor to confer the title on this uncle!"

"Here."

After He Biao promised loudly, he immediately stood up, turned around and waved his hands to the back, only to see four town governors Qin Dazhong in red armor striding out with a mahogany tray in their hands.

There was also a red satin cover on the mahogany tray, and behind him were Liu Jingzhu, Fang Zhihai, Xia Shuncheng, and Liu Zhi, who were also dressed in the same clothes.

On the general platform, Jin Xinpeng, Yan Qingrong, Wang Yuanjing, Wei Zhice, Zhang Guangda and other generals have already retreated to the left and right sides, making way for the middle.

Under the watchful eyes of more than [-] brave soldiers on and off the stage, Qin Dazhong, the governor of Tengsheying Town, strode forward with a tray in his hand, and stopped behind Fu He Biao, the chief town officer.

Only then did He Biao turn around to face Qin Dazhong, gently uncovered the side of the red satin, and saw a mahogany lacquer box under it, although it was not very exquisite, it looked very simple and solemn.

He Biao gently opened the mahogany lacquer box, and took out a piece of pure gold "Great General" military rank badge. This is actually an armband, which is used to wear on the left arm. All officers and soldiers are distinguished by this Everyone's rank.

After all, it is different from fighting with hot weapons in later generations. The soldiers at this time could not take off their armor. If they only wore military uniforms to fight, they would undoubtedly become the target of the enemy's swords, guns, bows and arrows.

That's why Zhang Cheng thought of adding armbands to each person's left arm as a mark of military rank to distinguish each person's rank.

His "Great General" rank logo has a unicorn pattern with two wings in the middle, a red sun and a half moon on it, and the word "courage" in seal script below.

He Biao stepped forward and temporarily inserted Yongningbo Zhang Cheng's "General" rank mark into a gap reserved on the left arm armor, and the whole ceremony came to an end.

…………

In fact, all of this is just Zhang Cheng's "three words and three concessions" drama. The purpose of doing this is to show his humility. The generals and soldiers complete a confession.

Of course, all the generals of the Bravery Army willingly cooperated with Zhang Cheng to perform this scene well, but the more than ten thousand elite fighters from each battalion under the stage were moved by Zhang Cheng's operation.

In this way, coupled with the atmosphere of the scene, they all deeply felt that they were following the right person, and even felt in their hearts that even if they died fighting for the general, it was worth it!

The next thing is Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng conferring titles to the generals of the Yongyi Army, starting with Fu He Biao, the general township, who was awarded the rank of "Left Guard", and then Wu Zhizhong, the commander of Weiyuan Battalion, also with the rank of Zuo Guard.

General Wei Zhice of the Teng Snake Camp, Zhang Guodong of the Qinglong Camp, Chen Zheng of the White Tiger Camp, Zhang Guangda of the Zhuque Camp, Li Jiyu of the Xuanwu Camp, and others were also in the rank of the "Left Guards".

There are also five battalion governors including Qin Dazhong, Liu Jingzhu, Fang Zhihai, Xia Shuncheng, and Liu Zhi, as well as the two guard commanders Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong, who were also awarded the rank of Zuo Hujun, followed by the Sixth Battalion The twelve lieutenant generals of the Communist Party of China were awarded the rank of "Right Guard".

The last ones on the stage were the 37 chief officers of the six battalions, and the 37 town governors of the various ministries, Shi Jianneng, the chief medical officer of the Yongyi Army, Liu Huicheng, the chief veterinary officer, and Wu Zhizhong, the battalion staff officer. The rank of "Habayashi School".

In this way, until noon when the sun was three poles high, Zhang Cheng had just awarded the titles to all the generals who had obtained the rank of "Habayashi School" and above.

And there are many civilian military academies such as battalion officers, commanders, and commanders, as well as various staff officers and counselors, and Zhang Cheng no longer personally confers titles on them.

They will be awarded titles by the town governors of each battalion instead of the general Zhang Cheng. After all, the number of them is too large. If Zhang Cheng personally awards all the titles, how long will he be busy?
Since then, it has become a rule that all military ranks above "Habayashi School" must be conferred by Zhang Cheng himself, and no one else can replace them, otherwise it will be invalid.

…………

Yongningbo Zhang Cheng sat on his handsome tiger-skin chair, with a red umbrella covering his head to shade him. Although there were tea and fruit bowls on the table in front of him, he never touched them, just put on a show.

After all, with more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command under the scorching sun, how could he enjoy himself alone, but the steaming heat from the stove next to him made him feel very comfortable.

The first month in Xuanbei is still very cold. Even though the wind is not strong today and it is still a sunny day, the north wind in winter is so strong that even wearing a thick wool cloak cannot resist it.

He called Zhang Chengfang, a Chinese soldier who was waiting by the side, and told him to arrange for people to add more charcoal and wood to the stoves on and off the stage, so as not to frostbite his beloved loyal and brave soldiers.

Every time the conferring ceremony of a group of generals was completed on the stage, the soldiers in the audience cheered, and the sound of "Wan Sheng" resounded through the sky for a while.

The atmosphere at the scene was extraordinarily warm, everyone's faces were full of excitement, and all the generals who were awarded the title held their heads high and their chests high, in good spirits.

The spectacular awarding ceremony lasted until Shenshi, when it was time to complete the awarding of titles to the commanders-in-chief and governors of the divisions and towns of the six battalions of the Yongyi Army, as well as the hundred generals and governors of the bureaus and towns.

So far, today's first awarding ceremony of the Bravery Army has come to an end, and the awarding of other low-level officers such as the commanders and armor commanders of each team, as well as the sergeants, sergeants, corporals, privates and other soldiers of each battalion will be awarded in the respective battalions. The resident will be completed under the auspices of the camp master.

"Ten thousand people have one heart, Mount Tai can be shaken, but loyalty and righteousness are full of anger.

The lord general kisses me better than my parents, violates the military law and is not free.

Order Mingming, reward and punishment letter, dare to stay late when going to water and fire?
Report to the Son of Heaven to rescue the head of Guizhou, kill all the Tartars and find a Marquis! "

Amidst a burst of loud and clear military songs, the soldiers of each battalion marched in order and lined up slowly out of the large school field and returned to their respective places where they were stationed in the flood season.

…………

Although the soldiers tossed and tossed on the field for a whole day, and there was no water in the middle, they didn't feel tired at all.

Because they watched their own general and master accompany them on the tall general's platform, and they also had no water, how could they dare to complain of being tired?
Moreover, the passion ignited at the awarding ceremony just now has not faded away, and they are all extremely excited, singing loud and clear military songs at the top of their voices, for fear that the singing in their camp will be overwhelmed.

Although it was not their turn to confer titles on them at today's conferring ceremony, but thinking that he would be able to add that shining little plaque on his left arm tomorrow at the latest, he couldn't help being even more excited.

After all, after conferring a military rank this month, you can receive military pay according to your military rank from next month, which is equivalent to a general salary increase, and the money you get every month increases, why not make people happy?
