Chapter 19 Dian Military Commander
Ding Yi and Zhang Xiaowu were both stunned. It was unprecedented that Ding Yi said in a trembling voice: "General - this - is not in line with the military system, right?" Even the emperor's son needs to be promoted step by step after joining the army. How could he be promoted to three levels to be a lieutenant? Even if he is a Dianjun lieutenant, he is also a lieutenant. Even if he is a lieutenant Chen Tai, he will salute him when he meets Zhang Xiaowu in the future, and his old boss, Wang Jian, will be his colleague in the future.
Ding Yi thought he could reward Zhang Xiaowu as a chief lieutenant, or be promoted to two levels to be a school assistant, but he was at a loss. He turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaowu, but saw that Zhang Xiaowu was confused and couldn't help but smile in his heart. This kid probably didn't know how old the school lieutenant was.
Zhang Xiaowu thought that he was promoted from deputy company commander to battalion commander. This step was a bit too big. As the saying goes, if he steps were too big, it would be easy to pull the ball. Later, when Shao Zifu, Feng Bin, Chen Tai and others saw him, they could not bow and say, "Hello, the lieutenant." Thinking about the former commander's respectful look in front of him, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but feel a toothache. This was too irritating.
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said, "General, I am humble and can't accept it."
Shi Jing was stunned at first, then laughed. It seemed that this young general was not a reckless person or a greedy person. It was extremely difficult for ordinary soldiers to have such a mind. He was determined to teach and said, "Tell me, why can't you?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I am lucky enough to drive the enemy with great force. However, the officials and generals killed countless enemies, but I have never given me such rewards. If I am so rewarded, it will cause unfairness in the army. I am humble to have a future and lead to resentment among the people in the army. Humiliation is the sinner of Tucheng and the enemy of the 27th Regiment."
When Shi Jing listened to Zhang Xiaowu's words, he frequently nodded with other deputy generals, military officers and recorders. He admired the young general even more, and even raised the idea of keeping the young general by his side to cultivate. Ding Yi is such a smart person. Seeing the faces of several people "fly camping and dogs", he thought to himself that he was wrong. General Shi wanted to steal talents from him. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What can't you? The general said you can, you can! You boy, the general is promoting you, ignorant, ignorant, ignorant, I have to clean up you well. By the way, go back to practice arrows now, so as not to be embarrassed. I, Ding Sanyan, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I can't shoot good arrows? Get out!"
Zhang Xiaowu was scolded and bowed in shame.
Seeing the two of them answered and responded, Shi Jing reacted after Zhang Xiaowu left and said, "Okay, you Ding Sanyan, block my mouth, right?"
Ding Yi smiled wickedly: "I dare not, since the general has also been awarded the reward, the official will surrender."
Shi Jing cursed and turned around and smiled when Ding Yi left. Wang Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "This Ding Sanyan has always been very protective of his calf." Shi Jing said, "Tomorrow, this matter will be announced to Yucheng. I want all the soldiers to see that they will make contributions to the city and reward them. Everyone will protect the city and everyone will have rewards."
"Here." The crowd joined the army.
Zhang Xiaowu stood at the gate of the general's mansion waiting for Ding Yi. Several Ding Yi's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward to congratulate him and said with a smile: "Young general, how can the general be rewarded?" Zhang Xiaowu said in embarrassment: "This...this...this...dianjun Captain."
"What? Dianjun Academy Captain?" Several personal soldiers opened their mouths wide, and naturally they couldn't believe it.
Zhang Xiaowu blushed and said, "I refuse."
"You still-reject?" Several personal soldiers were even more surprised, thinking that this kid was really bragging, and he still refused. Why don't you go to heaven? At this time, he saw Ding Yi walking out. When Ding Yi saw Zhang Xiaowu, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Person Zhang, don't belittle himself, do a good job as Dian Jun." The personal soldiers couldn't help asking, "Mr. Junhou, this young general has really become a Dian Jun captain?" Seeing Ding Yi nodding, the personal soldiers hurriedly respected Zhang Xiaowu.
Back at the Xicheng Defense Zone, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly stepped forward and returned the Divine Arm Bow to Ding Yi. Ding Yi waved his hand and refused to answer, saying, "You use it, only you can use this bow in the entire Tucheng. If this Divine Arm Bow was not given to the emperor and could not be given to others easily, I would rather give it to the hero with a sword. If the war is over, I will ask a craftsman to create a five-stone bow and give it to you, and now this bow can only be used by you."
Zhang Xiaowu did not refuse the divine arm bow and said, "I am so humble that I thank you for the military waiter, and I will live up to everyone's expectations."
Ding Yi said again: "In the future, if you want to change your claim, you should be a subordinate, not a humble person. Remember, you are the lieutenant of Yingdian Military Academy from now on, and are responsible for the military discipline and rules of the army. But now you don't have subordinates in the Dian Army."
Zhang Xiaowu was still embarrassed: "The army waiter is just a small soldier who has been enlisted for a short time. What kind of virtue is the so-called military captain? He recommends one person, the humble chief lieutenant, Lord Chen Tai, he..."
Ding Yi interrupted: "How can I change the general's decision? You can clean up after returning to the camp and come to the camp to report tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaowu had no choice but to take the order and return. After he went back to tell Chen Tai about this, Chen Tai scolded him, "Boy, why would you refuse? If it weren't for this disaster, you would never be a lieutenant in your life. If you refuse, that would be a fool." He also told Zhang Xiaowu not to tell others about this matter for the time being. Zhang Xiaowu didn't know how to tell Shao Zifu and others, so he nodded and agreed. When he returned to the barracks to rest, everyone was already asleep, but Shao Zifu was still waiting.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing, so they took a break early.
The next day, Zhang Xiaowu was disturbed by others. After hearing that General Shi Jing had eaten morning, he paid homage to thirty-six Han soldiers who had been cut off and were distracted at night. Shao Zifu asked him to sleep for a while. Zhang Xiaowu learned that there was no sleepiness in this matter, so he went to the market in the city to bury his comrades in the sacrificial robes.
The memorial ceremony was not complicated, but the song of horse-breasted corpse sings by Shi Jing was a little shocked by Zhang Xiaowu. The Holy Han Shangwu was proud of his death in battle, but he didn't know how many parents, brothers and sisters were crying in their hometown behind him, and how many wives were eager to see them. How many successes are laid on the corpses of ants. Perhaps for these soldiers, they are just a number in the military book, but for their families, they are everything.
"well--"
Zhang Xiaowu stood behind Ding Yi and felt a daze in his heart when he heard Ding Yi's long sigh. He might not have much recognition of this world before, and even his life was a bit dazed and he didn't care. But today when he saw the thirty-six corpses, he couldn't stop feeling sad for no reason, as if the thirty-six corpses were his arm and body.
After the memorial service, Ding Yi and other military officers followed General Shi Jing to conduct military service. The captain Luo Zhen of Zuojin led the others back to their respective defense areas. The other five captains naturally learned that Zhang Xiaowu was promoted to Dianjun lieutenant last night. They looked at him with interest, which made Zhang Xiaowu at a loss.
Fortunately, Wang Jian, the leader of the Fourth Fortress, was his old boss. He laughed and stepped forward and punched him, saying, "I will be my colleagues in the future. Take care of me more and take care of me more and more."
Zhang Xiaowu bowed and said hurriedly: "Sir, I will always be my official position."
Wang Jian was extremely comfortable by this flattery. He laughed loudly, held his hand and said, "Let's go back to the camp and celebrate for you."
Although everyone slept last night, the incident of Zhang Xiaowu being promoted to third-level as a military captain today triggered the topic of the soldiers in the army, and they all felt lucky for this soldier. Under the intentional clamor of Wang Shen, Zhang Xiaowu shot away a million Yuan Yi with three arrows, and the little king of Wuhuan was almost killed, causing the morale of the military and civilians in Tucheng to be greatly boosted. Some children actually compiled a song: "In May of the Han Dynasty, the thief besieged the city, the young general Zhang, the three arrows of the Shenjun, the King of Wuhuan, were scared to be dismissed, and the canopy carriages and fire camps, and all the million Yuan Yi retreated their troops." Soon the nursery rhymes spread throughout the full name, and Zhang Xiaowu's nickname of the magic arrow was leaked out. Even the brothers of the fourth formation sang this nursery rhyme back to the camp and congratulated Zhang Xiaowu around.
Although the Fourth Fortress had some criticism in private, most people thought that Zhang Xiaowu was honored for being promoted to three levels in a row. After inspecting the city wall, Wang Jian also came to congratulate him personally. After all, this kid came from his own hands and was his Wang Jian's small follower. In the future, he had a stronger voice in the army. After all, Zhang Xiaowu had been involved in government units in his previous life, he knew that although he was also a lieutenant, he needed support from others. If his old boss took him with him in the future, he would definitely not be troubled.
After receiving Wang Jian's support, the generals of the Fourth Fortress came to congratulate him one after another, and even Wang Jian had to allocate several of his subordinates to serve as a military officer. Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly refused to say that he should obey the army and be low-key so as not to be jealous.
