Chapter 378: Chapter 168: Yan Dan! Yunzhong City! King of Qin’s Royal Edict!_3
...
Yunzhong City!
Not far outside the city.
A military camp is under construction, building barracks, training grounds, and various training facilities.
Of course.
This military camp is essentially being expanded from the original Zhao Bian Camp.
Of course.
It naturally needs to be expanded, otherwise, it would be impossible to accommodate one hundred thousand troops for defense.
"Shangjiangjun."
"The camp’s construction has been ongoing for more than a month."
"Now the basic barracks are almost completed."
Tu Sui respectfully reported.
Beside Tu Sui was Zhang Han.
"Have all the sharp warriors from my main camp arrived?" Zhao Feng asked.
"They have all arrived in Yunzhong." Tu Sui replied respectfully.
"Assemble all the sharp warriors at the training ground." Zhao Feng said and headed directly to the Dianjiang Platform at the training ground.
"I obey."
Tu Sui and Zhang Han immediately responded.
Then.
The sound of assembly drums resounded in the camp.
From all corners of the barracks, many sharp warriors gathered toward the training ground.
On the Dianjiang Platform.
Zhao Feng looked at the gathered sharp warriors, a smile on his face.
"The military camp life still suits me."
"Battles and slaughter, that’s what a man is for." In Zhao Feng’s heart, a heroic spirit surged.
Although there’s a sense of peace at home, over four years of military life had long accustomed Zhao Feng to it.
When all the sharp warriors were gathered.
"Shangjiangjun is at the camp."
"Daqin Elite Soldiers, where are you?"
Tu Sui stepped out and shouted loudly.
"Salute to Shangjiangjun."
All the sharp warriors shouted in unison.
Their tone was filled with fervor.
To the sharp warriors under Zhao Feng’s main camp, Zhao Feng was undoubtedly the soul of the army.
Every soldier had followed Zhao Feng through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In the army, they only acknowledged Zhao Feng.
Now that their general had become Shangjiangjun, they felt it was only right, and in their hearts, Zhao Feng was even fit to be the Grand Commandant.
"I have been on leave for two months, yet all of you brothers still maintain your military prowess."
"I am proud of you, my brothers." Zhao Feng raised his hand and said loudly.
"Swear to follow Shangjiangjun to the death."
"Swear to follow Shangjiangjun to the death..."
The high-spirited shouts once again resounded in the void and clouds.
"Having returned this time."
"I trust all my brothers have received the news that I have been promoted to Protector-General, and also honorably as Shangjiangjun."
"I command a large camp, under which there are three main generals."
"The camp I command is named Wu’an Military Camp." Zhao Feng announced with authority.
"Congratulations to Shangjiangjun."
The sound of congratulations resounded once more across the training ground.
"Tu Sui, Zhang Han." Zhao Feng produced a royal edict and announced authoritatively.
"I am here."
Although they had received communication from their superior earlier, they were naturally very excited at the moment of being promoted to main generals.
"King of Qin’s edict."
"Generals Tu Sui and Zhang Han have fought for the nation, with great merit and hard work. Now as the Wu’an Military Camp is newly established, there is an urgent need for capable generals to command troops."
"Upon recommendation by General Zhao Feng."
"Tu Sui is appointed as the main general, commanding the first main camp of Wu’an, with a promotion of two ranks."
"Zhang Han is appointed as the main general, commanding the second main camp of Wu’an, with a promotion of two ranks."
Zhao Sheng announced with authority.
"We thank the Great King for his graciousness."
The two generals shouted excitedly, their faces brimming with excitement.
For them.
This was undoubtedly their moment of glory.
Of course.
They were even more grateful to Zhao Feng, with heightened loyalty.
They knew that without following Zhao Feng, it would have been impossible for them to reach such a position at such a young age; the position of main general would have been unattainable.
"Li You."
After announcing the appointments of the two people, Zhao Feng then continued with authority.
"I am here."
Li You, too, was clad in military uniform, although he hadn’t been on the battlefield and lacked the military aura.
Nonetheless, at the moment of being officially commissioned, he still felt a bit apprehensive.
Compared to governing a county, coming to the army now made him somewhat nervous.
After all, it was completely different from the places he had worked before.
"King of Qin’s edict."
"Li You, Governor of Northern Territory, is both literate and martial, possessing the talent of a general. Now, appointed as the main general of Wu’an’s third main camp." Zhao Feng announced with authority.
"I thank the Great King for his graciousness."
"I will not disappoint the Great King." Li You respectfully accepted the order.
Of course.
The sharp soldiers on the training ground looked at Li You, this new face, who had transitioned from a Prefectural Governor to the military; many of the sharp soldiers’ gazes carried a hint of contempt.
However, at this solemn moment of Zhao Feng’s presence, naturally, no one dared to discuss it.
But when it comes to truly commanding the military, whether he can truly lead a main camp, that would be Li You’s own matter.
After all.
He relied on relationships to enter the main camp.
If he does not prove himself through war achievements, he is destined not to earn the people’s conviction.
The military inherently respects strength, and Li You is undoubtedly not one of those.
"Today."
"Our Wu’an Battalion has established three main generals."
"Below the main generals."
"Those who hear their names, step forward." Zhao Feng took out a royal edict.
Then.
Proclaimed loudly: "Wei Quan, Liu Wang, Luo Hua, Zhuang Wei."
...
Each name was recited from Zhao Feng’s mouth.
The generals who were called out all stood up with excitement.
This time, it was an appointment of deputy generals.
Leading fifty thousand troops, furthermore a position of command.
Without a doubt.
Wei Quan and those who have followed Zhao Feng for many years naturally rose up, and they rose without any undeserved deeds, because their war merits are glorious, and every promotion is traceable, with war achievements as the foundation.
Even if someone was dissatisfied, they had no reason.
Three words could silence them.
Merit-based system!
Three main camps, six deputy generals.
Four were old subordinates recommended by Zhao Feng, and two were personally appointed by Ying Zheng.
No matter how much trust in Zhao Feng, Ying Zheng would naturally arrange people in the military.
Just like Li You, he was also appointed by Ying Zheng. If the entire Wu’an Battalion was under Zhao Feng’s complete control, it would not be beneficial to royal authority, though trusted, it must also be under royal authority.
"Thank you, Great King."
"Thank you, Senior General."
The numerous deputy generals loudly expressed their gratitude.
Zhao Feng did not hesitate and spoke again: "Where is the original main camp Military Judge, Kuai Pu?"
"Your subordinate is here."
Kuai Pu, who had formerly been the main camp Military Judge, stepped forward.
Also showing a solemn expression, bowing with respect.
"Royal edict from the King of Qin."
"Appoint Kuai Pu as the Military Judge of the main camp, responsible for supervising military discipline and managing war achievements."
"Directly reporting to General Zhao Feng, and the command of Shaofu Yu Liao."
Zhao Feng announced authoritatively.
"Minister, thank you for the Great King’s graciousness." Kuai Pu bowed and also looked excited.
Although he was originally in Zhao Feng’s army, his duties differed, as he was the Military Judge, responsible for managing war achievements and supervision, enforcing military discipline.
Nonetheless, his promotion was naturally due to Zhao Feng; without Zhao Feng, he would not have had the chance to become the Military Judge of the main camp.
This position is comparable to that of a main general.
Of course.
Besides receiving orders from Zhao Feng, he also reports to the Shaofu, which is a unique aspect of a Military Judge, at the core of Qin King’s control of the entire army.
"Below the deputy generals, many brothers also advance according to military merit."
"Later, a general will read the decrees."
After reading all the royal edicts, Zhao Feng slowly began to speak.
At this moment!
"General."
"When you went home on vacation to get married, brothers didn’t get to drink your wedding wine."
A bold sharp soldier shouted loudly.
As soon as these words fell.
They immediately attracted many eyes.
"Drink the wedding wine."
"Drink the wedding wine."
...
The sharp soldiers on the entire training ground all started shouting enthusiastically.
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng smiled, immediately waving his hand.
Only then did the training ground quiet down.
"How could I forget my brothers."
"Don’t worry."
"I’ve been back today and have long prepared enough good wine."
"Brothers can drink to their hearts’ content."
"Besides the good wine, there’s enough meat to go around."
"Today I shall celebrate with all the brothers."
Zhao Feng waved grandly, laughing aloud.
"General mighty."
"Mighty..."
