Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 6: Once you have acquired military merits, choose a skill

"Happy together."

Seeing the smiling face of the corps leader, Zhang Qi knew that it must be the result of military merit assessment.

Military merit is a good thing. It is not only related to the promotion of the position in the army, but also can be used to exchange for money, land and even some cultivation methods.

Because of this, it is extremely difficult to obtain military merit.

The predecessor had served on the Great Wall at the border for half a year, but because he didn't participate in the battle, he didn't get any military merits.

"This time we made a great contribution."

Wang Changxin touched the scar on his neck, and said with some emotion: "The ancients said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so we can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Originally, the task of capturing the dog army captives on the grassland this time should be done by the scouts in the army.He is just a corporal leader guarding the Beacon Tower. This kind of mission to go deep into the enemy's rear is simply not his turn.

As a result, he was tricked and ordered by the centurion.

Fortunately, he was well prepared, and fortunately he brought Zhang Qi, a small soldier, otherwise, he would have died on the vast prairie outside.

Subsequently.

Wang Changxin told Zhang Qi how he met the centurion.

Unexpectedly, the dog soldier prisoner they captured was tortured and revealed some important information, which even alarmed the commander.

just now.

Not only did Wang Changxin meet the centurion, but he also met the superior thousand commander.

For the deeds of the two of them going deep into the grassland for hundreds of miles, beheading three dog soldiers and capturing one alive, Qianfu grew up to appreciate them.

"Zhang Sanlang, if you don't want to go with me, otherwise you will be summoned by the commander."

Wang Changxin said with regret.

Zhang Qi is not interested in this kind of so-called big shots, he is only interested in one thing, "Captain, how much military merit can we get this time?"

"Don't worry."

Wang Changxin said with a smile: "In just two days, your military achievements will be available, and you will know when the time comes."

as predicted.

The next day, an orderly soldier belonging to the Military Merit Department came to the Beacon Tower and handed Zhang Qi's military merit and commendation order to him face to face.

Zhang Qi made an inventory.

A so-called commendation order with the words 'Warrior of the Great Zhou'.

And four bronze medals, three of which are engraved with 'Ninth Class Gong', and the other is engraved with 'Eighth Class Gong'.

The military merits of the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided into nine levels.

Beheading an enemy soldier, you can get a ninth-class merit.

Zhang Qi killed two dog soldiers and got two ninth-class merits. The four horses he captured counted as two ninth-class merits, which he and the corps leader shared equally.

In the end, he and the corporal leader each won eighth-class merit for successfully completing the task.

The evaluation and management of military merits in the army is extremely strict. There is a department called the Military Merit Department, which is in charge of this matter, and even the generals in the army cannot interfere indiscriminately.

The Military Merit Division has always given clear rewards and punishments, which is convincing.

Zhang Qi was quite satisfied, and it was worthwhile for him to take the risk and go for a walk on the grassland.

"Captain, what about your military achievements?"

What surprised Zhang Qi was that the corporal leader only got one commendation order, but he didn't see any bronze medals for military merit.

"used up."

Wang Changxin chuckled and said, "I got two ninth-class military merits this time, one eighth-class military merit, plus the accumulated military merits before, it's enough to be conferred with military merits..."

Good guy.

Only then did Zhang Qi know that the corporal chief was about to become a corporal nobleman.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had a strict hierarchy and was a typical dual structure.

Below is the Chinese people who occupy the vast majority of the population, and above is the ruling class composed of Zhou Tianzi and nobles.

among them.

The nobles are divided into three grades: princes, officials and scholars.

If further subdivided.

Scholars can be further divided into sergeants, sergeants, and corporals.

The title of corporal that Wang Changxin is about to obtain is just the lowest rank of nobility. Except for one title, it is not much different from ordinary commoners.

However, according to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only nobles can become local officials or officers in the army.

If Wang Changxin wants to go further, he must have a title.

For Wang Changxin, who was born as a commoner, it is his lifelong dream to be conferred with military merits and honor his ancestors.

The corporal title is only the first step, and he has greater ambitions.

But for Zhang Qi, titles and aristocrats are too far away. What he desires most at this time is to get a new exercise as soon as possible.

If he didn't brush his proficiency for a day, he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Captain, I want to take a rest for a day."

For Zhang Qi's request, Wang Changxin agreed on the spot, just patted him on the shoulder and said something inexplicable.

"People who practice martial arts must exercise restraint."

……

After leaving the Beacon Tower, Zhang Qi came to Baisha City again.

Because it was daytime, this time he only paid three copper coins for the toll, and entered the city smoothly.

On both sides of the street, there are many shops.

People come and go, very lively, the most common of which are Da Zhou soldiers in military uniforms.

In addition to the thousands of soldiers guarding this important military town, many soldiers stationed on the Great Wall at the border also often come here to buy supplies, or simply have some fun.

Zhang Qi bought some pickled cakes on the side of the road.

It's a bit like the Roujiamo from the previous life. There is a little minced meat sauce in the middle of the noodle cake, and it tastes good.

After filling his stomach, he came to the destination of this trip.

Military Pavilion.

The Military Merit Department established by the imperial court not only has the power to supervise and evaluate military merit, but is also fully responsible for the aftermath of military merit.

The Military Merit Pavilion in Baisha City was established by the Military Merit Division.When the soldiers of the army come here, they can exchange the military merits in their hands for what they need.

After verifying his identity, Zhang Qi walked into the Military Pavilion.

There were quite a few people inside, including low-level soldiers like him, as well as officers of all levels wearing armor and showing off their might.

After observing in the dark for a while.

He approached a common man who was in charge of managing the Military Pavilion and explained his purpose.

"Want to exchange military merits for exercises?"

The common man looked Zhang Qi up and down, and only nodded when he saw him take out the military merit card, "Follow me."

The two came to a small house.

This common man, who is equivalent to an office clerk, asked Zhang Qi some questions in succession, including his native place, when he joined the army, where he served, how he made military achievements, etc., all of them were asked clearly.

Finally, these questions and answers are also documented in detail.

Zhang Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a feudal dynasty like Da Zhou would have such a meticulous and perfect governance system.

It is no accident that the Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than 1000 years.

After the questioning, the common man led Zhang Qi to the third floor of the Military Merit Pavilion, and said, "The exercises suitable for soldiers to practice in the army are all in there. After you have selected them, come to me."

"It's work."

After Zhang Qi cupped his fists, he walked in.

There are many bookshelves with some booklets on them.At this time, several soldiers were walking around inside, presumably they also came to exchange for exercises.

After Zhang Qi rubbed his hands excitedly, he walked to a bookshelf and picked up a booklet.

[Flame knife technique, you need to redeem the ninth-class skill once]

"Cheap is cheap, but what I need is not some knife technique."

Zhang Qi put the "Flame Saber Technique" back in its original place, and looked around again, but he still couldn't find a technique that satisfied him.

until half an hour later.

He finally found a book of exercises suitable for him on the innermost bookshelf.

[Bull Devil Body Refining Fist, exchange for nine-class skills three times]

From the name of the exercise, it can be seen that this is a boxing method for body training. After practicing, it can greatly temper and strengthen the body, and can also slightly increase the blood. The same is true.

Open the cover, there are only two pages inside.

What can be seen is only a small part of the front of the exercises.

If he wanted to obtain the complete exercise, he still had to go to the common man just now.

After spending seven or eight minutes, Zhang Qi carefully read the contents of the two pages, and was considering whether to choose this exercise.

A line of information suddenly popped up on the panel.

[Ox Devil Body Refining Fist, analysis of skills (5%), evaluation: down and down]
