I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 35 After making extraordinary achievements, Li Zheng was promoted to the fifth level

"I wonder which of you captured Jieli Khan and made great contributions to our Northern Expedition?"

Li Jing raised his eyes and looked at the soldiers with a smile.

Hearing that the general manager was here to find someone, the soldiers who gathered in front of the tent consciously moved out of the way and looked at Li Zheng on the steps.

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Li Zheng did not panic, but slowly stepped forward, bowed and saluted:

"My subordinate Li Zheng, the captain of the Third Gongnu Battalion, fulfilled his mission and captured Jieli Khan. He has sent someone to present it to the chief manager."

Hearing the sound, Li Jing looked towards Li Zheng.

It didn't matter. The moment he saw Li Zheng, Li Jing felt his heart tremble.

so similar!
  This Li Zheng looks so much like Emperor Zhenguan Li Shimin when he was young.

He still remembered the young Emperor Zhenguan, who was brave and high-spirited on the battlefield.

He still remembered being by Li Shimin's side, fighting the enemy bravely and scolding Fang Qiu.

The young man named Li Zheng in front of him was covered in blood, his armor was damaged, and he looked a little embarrassed, but the fierceness and calmness in his eyes were just like the young Li Shimin.

Li Jing stared at Li Zheng in confusion, and was stunned on the spot.

"What happened to the chief steward?"

Seeing Li Jing staring at him in a daze without saying anything, Li Zheng muttered in his heart.

"Director Li!"

"Manager Li..."

Zhang Gongjin, the deputy general manager who was following Li Jing, stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.

Zhang Gongjin's call brought Li Jing back to his senses.

He raised his eyes to look at Li Zheng again, and the more he looked, the more he looked like him. Whether it was his appearance or his eyes, he could still see the shadow of Li Shimin when he was young.

In the end, Li Jing shook his head.

I think too much, it's just a resemblance, I haven't heard of any of your Majesty's princes being lost among the people.

In this Northern Expedition, His Majesty did not arrange for any prince to serve under his command.

Everything I saw was just a coincidence.

He calmed down and asked:
  "Your name is Li Zheng?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, Li Zheng, you are indeed my warrior of the Tang Dynasty."

"This time in the capture of the Turkic Royal Court, I can clearly see your performance from the rear."

"You took charge of the attack and moved forward bravely when General Su Dingfang was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. Without your bravery, the Turkic Royal Court would not have been so easily captured by our army."

"Before the Battle of the Royal Court, I promised in front of all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition that the first person to capture the Royal Court would be promoted to two levels, and the one who captured Jieli Khan would be promoted to the third level."

"Now that you have done it, I, the manager, should fulfill your promise as a reward."

Li Jing looked at Li Zheng with a smile and said.

next moment.

Li Jing put away his smile, walked to the steps with a serious expression, and announced loudly:
  "Li Zheng is now the captain of the Seventh Rank Bow and Crossbow Battalion. In today's battle, Li Zheng took the lead in attacking the Turkic Royal Court and captured Jieli Khan, making the first contribution."

"I hereby announce that from now on, Li Zheng will be promoted to the fifth rank and General Dingyuan. He will receive the fifth rank salary and command an army of ten thousand people."

"Last General Li Zheng, thank you, Chief Manager!"

Li Zheng bowed with excitement.

Li Jing announced the appointment on the spot, which shocked many Tang soldiers on the side.

They all looked at Li Zheng with envious eyes.

All of a sudden, he was promoted to the fifth rank, from an ordinary school captain to a full rank Dingyuan general.

You must know that in the army sequence of the Tang Dynasty, everyone from the fifth rank to the seventh rank and above is called an officer. Officers and officers are what this group is called.

Those with an official rank of fifth rank or above are called officials, and Li Zheng, a fifth-rank Dingyuan general, can command tens of thousands of troops. He is considered a mid- to high-ranking general in the Tang army, and his status is naturally extraordinary.

The key is. This Li Zheng has only been in the army for less than four months and is said to be only fifteen years old.

You know, normally you can't join the army at the age of fifteen.

Li Zheng is already a fifth-rank Dingyuan general.

The fifteen-year-old General Dingyuan was unique in the Tang Empire.

Think about some soldiers who have been in the army for several years before becoming a corps commander or captain.

Really more popular than dead people!

However, it is still convincing that Li Zheng was promoted to the rank of fifth-rank Dingyuan General in just four months. His promotion was entirely based on his military exploits.

prior to.

The battle of Yinshan.

Killed the Turkic general, rescued the vanguard general Su Dingfang, and shot and killed 131 Turkic soldiers.

A battle today.

The first one to rush into the Turkic royal court, capture Jieli Khan, and save Su Dingfang again.

Under his inspiration, the Tang army was able to successfully capture the Turkic royal court and annihilate the main Turkic force. It was Li Zheng's miraculous feat.

Therefore, even if Li Zheng was promoted at a rocket-like speed at such a young age, no one in the Tang Dynasty would have any objections.

"Li Zheng!"

"The manager has another important task to give you."

"Now that General Su Dingfang of the Pioneer Army is seriously injured, the post of General Pioneer is currently vacant, so you will temporarily take over the position of General Pioneer.

As for the attack on Wangting this time, the vanguard army suffered a lot of losses. The vanguard army is temporarily repaired, and then the general manager will replenish the lost troops for you. "

"I hope you can lead the best vanguard army in the Tang Dynasty. Don't let me down!"

After Li Jing announced his appointment, he gave Li Zheng an important task.

"The last general takes orders!"

"Never let down the expectations of the Grand Master!"

Li Zheng knelt on one knee and accepted the order.

"I just announced your promotion and appointment. As for the reward I promised you, I will fulfill it when our army sweeps away the remnants of the Turks and returns in triumph."

Li Jing smiled and said to Li Zheng.

"Thank you, Chief Manager!"

Li Zheng thanked him again.

Li Jing helped Li Zheng up, then looked at the soldiers around him:

"All the soldiers have worked hard."

"Today's battle in the Turkic Royal Court, I have arranged for people to do the statistics of military exploits. Once the statistics are completed, I, Li Jing, will honor the military exploits of the soldiers one by one. I will never let the military exploits of the soldiers who have made military exploits be buried."

Li Jing's passionate speech immediately resonated with the soldiers.

What are the soldiers fighting for on the battlefield? Isn't it just that you can gain military glory, get a silver reward, go home, get a wife, and live a stable life?

Although Li Zheng fought bravely to kill the enemy in this battle of the Royal Court and was the first to rush into the Royal Court, these soldiers did not act like cowards. They followed Li Zheng, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed into the Royal Court regardless of their own safety, fighting with the Turks. The stubborn enemies launched a desperate struggle.

Although their contribution is not as great as yours, without their follow-up and fighting, even if Li Zheng is extremely capable, he would not be able to capture the royal court alone.

Li Jing was aware of this, so after reading out the reward to Li Zheng, he comforted the other soldiers.

"Thank you, Chief Manager!"

"I am willing to swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Tang army is mighty!"

"The Tang army is mighty!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, full of respect for Li Jing.
