My fate is mine (please vote)

Late August.

The nearly 300,000 troops of the Red Army returned to Chen County one after another.

Chen Sheng held a grand military parade outside the south gate of Chen County and awarded a number of meritorious generals.

Chen Ji, the second lieutenant and platoon leader of the fourth platoon of the second battalion of the ninth regiment of the second army of the red army, made great achievements in defeating Luoyi. He died in a fierce battle. He was awarded the title of Zhongyong Hou of the Han Dynasty. He established a Han temple and was entitled to enjoy blood food after entering the temple!

It is worth mentioning that Chen Jinai was the first meritorious minister of the Han Dynasty to be granted the title of Marquis, and he was also the only general to be granted the title of Marquis during the Chenliu Battle.

Chen Sheng carefully thought about it, if it weren't for the issue of promoting titles and rewarding meritorious ministers.

But he was really not sure that he could change the established impression of the title among his civil and military officials in a short period of time, and weaken the aristocratic title that has been linked to status, power and shadow for future generations for thousands of years, and weaken the honor that only symbolizes meritorious service.

If anything went wrong, the backbone of the Han court, which was supported by the spirit of struggle that "the princes, princes, generals, and ministers should be contented with each other" would fall apart.

Even the foundation of Kyushu Datong, which King Zhou Ping worked so hard to lay, will be destroyed in one day, and he will embark on the road of self-destruction that reverses the course of history!

But if he did nothing and watched Chen Laoliu disappear into the long river of history, Chen Sheng would be distraught!

Human death occurs twice.

Once the heartbeat stopped.

Once was forgotten.

Chen Sheng failed to save Chen Laoliu's heartbeat, but could only protect him from being forgotten.

At least Chen Sheng was the King of Han for one day, and Chen Laoliu lived in the Han Dynasty for one day!

After repeated deliberation, Chen Sheng finally came up with this method to establish Chen Ji as a model.

A person is granted the title of a marquis after his death, and the title of a marquis cannot be hereditary and replaceable, nor can it protect the family members.

I just want to use this example to tell the arrogant soldiers under my command: Want to be knighted? No problem. As long as your contribution is great enough, I will definitely give you a knighthood after your death. Anyway, the ugly words have been said before, even if you can

Even if you are granted a royal title, your title has nothing to do with your descendants. At most, the royal court will provide money and food to ensure that your wife and children have food, clothing, and a decent life.

To be fair, a title that can only be awarded after death has lost 80% of its appeal. If it loses the two characteristics of hereditary substitution and shading of relatives, the title will not be as beneficial as a pension from a feudal prince.

, at most it can leave a resounding name to future generations...

Chen Sheng took this into full consideration and created a Han temple linked to his title.

A real man wants nothing more than glory and wealth for the rest of his life, and nothing more than a good name and a good name!

The existence of the Han Temple is to clearly tell the civil and military ministers of the Han court: If you hang out with me, Chen Sheng, you will not only live a vigorous life, but also die with an eternal reputation!

There was such a thick and big carrot standing at the highest point of the Han court. Chen Sheng did not worry that the carrot could not be rolled up inside the Han court.

…

Under the loyal and brave Marquis Chen Ji.

Meng Tian, ​​commander of the Second Army of the Red Army, was promoted to acting commander of the Red Army and the rank of general based on meritorious service.

Li Xin, commander of the fourth division, was promoted to commander of the Huben Corps and commander of the Third Army with the rank of general based on meritorious service.

Chen Dao, commander of the Second Division, was promoted to commander of the Fourth Army of the Huben Corps with the rank of lieutenant general due to his meritorious service.

Ji Bu, commander of the fifth division, was promoted to acting commander of the first army of the Red Army Corps and to the rank of lieutenant general based on his merits.

Chen Ying, commander of the Sixth Division, was promoted to the acting commander of the Second Army of the Red Army and the rank of lieutenant general due to his meritorious service.

Wu Guang, deputy commander of the 9th Regiment of the Second Division, was promoted to commander of the Second Division with the rank of major general due to meritorious service.

Lu Chen, the commander of the second battalion of the ninth regiment of the second division, was promoted to commander of the fourth division with the rank of major general due to meritorious service.

In addition, Fan Zeng, the chief of staff of the red army, was promoted to the chief minister of the royal court, taking charge of grain administration and horse administration. Together with the right prime minister Han Fei, the left prime minister Li Si, and the imperial censor Gongsun Bai, they were ministers of the four pillars of the Han Dynasty!

In addition to these general-level promotions, there were also many names that Chen Sheng found familiar to him. They also stood out in this battle and came into Chen Sheng's field of vision.

For example, a regiment leader named Guan Ying emerged from the Fifth Division.

A division commander named Zhong Lihuan emerged from the Second Army.

Li Si's son Li You also rose to prominence in the Second Division and was promoted to colonel.

In addition, Wang Bi, Wang Li, Chen Yu, who are still studying in Jixia Academy, and Zhang Er, who is forming an independent division and running around...

Chen Sheng thought about it and found that the only outstanding person in the late Qin Dynasty who had a deep impression on him but who had not yet appeared, seemed to be Chen Ping!

But he couldn't remember who the guy was from, and he didn't know where to look for it. In the end, he could only casually send the name to the Special Operations Bureau and Qianji Building, asking them to pay more attention. Once they found out, he would be kidnapped directly.

Wang Ting... After that, he put the matter behind him.

In general, all the generals and officers who participated in the Chenliu Battle gained more or less from this military parade.

As for the Red Army's First Division and Second Division, which had 50,000 troops and had not accumulated any military merit because there was no fighting on the Yuzhou defense line, Chen Sheng also sent them south to take over Yangzhou to create opportunities for them to accumulate military merit and make up for them.

After the military parade, Chen Sheng rushed all the promoted generals into Jixia Academy to rebuild it.

Those who have classes, such as those who were promoted from Lieutenant to Colonel, will go to the Colonel's class honestly, and if they don't get a diploma, they will go back to where they were promoted!

This sounds harsh, but for these top students who started in the military, most of the content in the textbook is just their daily life. As long as they are serious, they will not worry about not getting a good grade!

As for senior generals such as Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Chen Dao, Ji Bu, etc., there is currently no class suitable for them in the military department. Besides Chen Sheng, there is no second lecturer in the Han court who is qualified to teach them.

Chen Sheng naturally didn't have that much time to teach them slowly.

Since you can't be a student, then be a teacher and compile teaching plans for general officers!

Each general must compile a general officer teaching plan based on his own experience in commanding troops and submit it to Chen Sheng for review!

When you are qualified, when will you go back to command the troops?

As the saying goes, you can learn the new by reviewing the past. This is just the way to fill in the gaps in the teaching plan for the military officer class.

After Chen Sheng sent all these arrogant soldiers to Jixia Academy, he finally had his hands on cleaning up the mess caused by Chen Liu's battle.

The Battle of Chenliu lasted for more than three months.

During these more than three months, the Han court suspended all development, and all manpower and material resources, including Chen Sheng, the Han court's primary productive force, revolved around the Chenliu battle.

In other words, in the past three months, instead of moving forward, Hanting has been retreating... How big of a mess is this?

The biggest problem is that during the Chenliu Battle, Chen Sheng had no time to go to the counties to spread clouds and rain, so that this year the grain fields in the counties under the Han Dynasty were severely reduced.

By now, the grain reserves in each county are running low, and there are signs of food shortages rising again.

If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there will be chaos after winter!

Although other issues are not as urgent as the food issue, they still require Chen Sheng's intervention.

This busy work lasted a whole month without even touching the ground.

to early October.

Chen Sheng finally managed to smooth out the affairs of the Wang Ting, large and small.

The 1st and 2nd Red Divisions led by Chen Shou and Chen Shan took over the entire territory of Yangzhou without any bloodshed.

The large number of officials dispatched by the Weng Weng Palace Committee also successfully brought the entire Yanzhou under the rule of the Han court.

Massive amounts of luck flowed back to Chen Sheng like a blowout, with the upper limit breaking through the 800,000 mark!

…

The third day of October, the beginning of winter, in the Chen Family Courtyard.

After nightfall, light snow like fine salt drifted in the sky.

Chen Sheng, who was still reading official documents with an oil lamp lit in the hall, heard the "clang, clink, clink, clink" sound of the door being lifted by the cold wind. When he looked up, he saw the snowflakes falling outside, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

'The first snow this year came earlier than last year!'

He sighed heavily in his heart, pushed away the short table in front of him, stood up and walked slowly to the eaves outside the hall, spread out his palms and caught a few falling snowflakes.

The snowflakes, which were no bigger than sesame seeds, were melted by the astonishing heat contained in his palms as soon as they landed in his palms, leaving only a slight and almost imperceptible coolness.

He is a great innate warrior, and the true energy in his body is constantly circulating, keeping external evils at bay. Not to mention a few snowflakes, even if he sleeps deeply in the ice and snow for three days and three nights, there is no worry of catching wind and cold!

But just this insignificant hint of coolness made Chen Sheng's heart extremely heavy!

He is an innate warrior, but the millions of people under his rule are not.

In just two to three months, the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded several times like a balloon. There was no time to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the counties to build greenhouses and gather the people to fight the cold like last year!

I don’t know how many people will never see next spring again.

The hemp rope is cut at the smallest point, and bad luck only seeks out the poor... They just want to live, they don't ask for dignity and dignity, they just want to live. Is it so difficult?

Chen Sheng raised his head with a heavy heart, looked up at the pitch-black sky where he couldn't see his fingers, and murmured to himself: "You are so damn black!"

He closed his eyes in pain and stood alone in the cold wind for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no joy or sadness in them, they were as tough and cold as a rock.

"Someone is coming!"

he whispered.

A royal guard with a helmet and armor appeared in the courtyard, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty."
