She just watched the old man disappear from sight.
However, in her eyes, the old man's back did not look depressed, but rather relaxed...
"Everyone, I know that some of you worship me, believe in me, and regard me as an idol. I am surprised and very happy. Thank you all."
At this time, Zheng Zhi walked forward slowly, looked at Wan Jun, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Thanks to your love, I, Zheng Zhi, have the name I have today!"
"Of course, I also know that some of you are not convinced by me. It doesn't matter. I understand it, but no matter how you treat me, I will treat them equally."
Zheng Zhi said: "I, Zheng Zhi, have no other abilities, but I have a principle. What I say must be done, and what I do must bear fruit. Any merit must be rewarded, and any mistake must be punished, no matter who it is!"
Everyone was silent.
But between the expressions, it was obvious that he was not in a calm mood.
And many young soldiers, after hearing Zheng Zhi's words, all showed excitement.
Who joins the army not for military glory?
Who doesn’t want to honor their ancestors?
Become a marquis and worship a prime minister?
With this rule, they have hope.
Zheng Zhizhi's words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm for these soldiers.
The sense of loss at the departure of the old commander was instantly wiped away, and many imperial soldiers became passionate again.
That’s how people are!
You may have feelings, but you care more about your own interests.
It is certainly the duty of soldiers to protect their families and the country, but what makes them fight bloody battles is not only patriotism, but also fame and fortune!
In many cases, fame and wealth are far more stimulating to people's hearts than patriotism.
When Zheng Zhi came up, he did not talk about feelings, draw a pie, or talk about patriotic declarations. He focused on interests first.
Facts have proven that such actions are more popular and can revive military morale.
Whether in the secular world or in this world of blood and hell, joining the army is one of the few ways for children from poor families to change their lives.
Many people come here with enthusiasm, just to get ahead and change their destiny.
Give them a chance and they will work hard.
"As soon as you establish your prestige, you set up rules to facilitate your actions. This guy really has a way of controlling people."
Sima Yue smiled.
It can be seen that Zheng Zhi's move is quite commendable.
Not only Zheng Zhi, but also Yuan Hongtao and other powerful generals also looked surprised.
At such a young age, he has already lived so transparently?
But Zheng's move of coming down was even more clever.
Seeing that his words had an effect, a smile appeared on Zheng Zhi's face, and then he said: "Above the Great Wall, all border guards, come out!"
Hearing the sound, all the soldiers were slightly startled.
However, despite their doubts, the border guards still came out one after another.
"Those who have killed three zero-headed monsters should take three steps forward. Those who have killed four zero-headed monsters should take four steps forward. Those who have killed five zero-headed monsters should take five steps forward, and so on."
Zheng Zhi said again.
Everyone continued to do so.
The soldiers and generals who had killed the zero monsters all walked out of the crowd.
At most one of them even walked 104 steps.
This is a centurion who possesses the strength of Level 3 of the Star Realm. However, he has not been in the army for a long time. Although he is strong, he has not held any important positions.
"May I have your name?"
Zheng Zhi looked at the person at the front and asked.
"More money!"
So said the centurion.
Hearing this, Zheng Zhi had a strange expression.
This name... is so "wow".
However, no matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look like a rich man.
Of course, this is not the time to dwell on such small words.
Zheng Zhi immediately said: "You have a lot of money, you are brave in battle, you killed 108 odd monsters, and you are the best in the three armies. I have a special order from my commander to be promoted to the third level and to be named deputy captain of ten thousand men."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Deputy Captain?
This is a great general!
The empire's military system consists of one officer and two officers.
A captain of ten thousand men, commanding ten thousand soldiers.
Next are the deputy commanders of thousands, the commanders of thousands, the deputy commanders of thousands, and centurions...
Qianduo has been promoted to three levels in a row, which can be said to be a leap to the sky.
Everyone looked at the rich man with eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
The soldiers who took steps seemed to have guessed Zheng's move to come down, and they all became excited.
This is the time for great rewards!
In the Blood Hades Empire, almost all of the ten thousand captains had titles, belonged to counts, and held high positions of power.
The title system was created by the founding emperor Yuan Shikai, and the hereditary system continues to this day.
From high to low, they correspond to duke, marquis and earl.
Even the lowest Earl is a man of outstanding merit.
And with this much money, it can be said that he is only one step away from becoming an earl.
For subsequent ranks, you only need to establish some more military exploits and titles, and there is almost no big problem.
How can one not be envious of such treatment?
"Many...many thanks Zheng Shuai!"
Having so much money is like waking up from a dream, trembling and giving thanks.
Because he was so excited, he couldn't even speak incoherently.
He could only encounter such a scene in his dreams.
Even if you dream, you may not be able to achieve such a good dream.
And Zheng's immediate move did not disappoint those who were looking forward to it.
"All warriors who kill more than fifty zero monsters will be promoted to two levels. Those who kill more than twenty zero monsters will be promoted to one level. Those who kill less than twenty will be rewarded with Xuan Crystal, one zero monster, and one hundred low-grade heaven crystals.
, and so on."
Zheng Zhi announced the reward.
"Wow!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
All those who were promoted looked ecstatic and trembled with excitement.
Even those who were not promoted were rewarded with heavenly crystals, which made everyone happy.
It should be noted that one hundred low-grade heaven crystals are a considerable fortune for ordinary people.
Besides, there were many of them, and more than just one odd monster was killed?
Suddenly, there were loud cheers in the stadium.
And those soldiers who had not participated in the border battle were all extremely envious.
In addition to being envious and jealous, he is even more gearing up and eager to have a big fight.
And those who participated in the border battle and failed to kill zero monsters were all full of regrets.
Holding a breath in my heart, I secretly made up my mind to kill the enemy bravely in the next battle.
The military spirit that was originally a little sluggish was stronger than ever at this moment.
This kind of operation makes many powerful generals look down upon Yuan Hongtao.
It turns out that money and silk move people's hearts, and it's not just words.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Zheng Zhi looked at Yuan Yiyi with a smile.
Don't blame him for being so arrogant, but he has no intention of paying for it out of his own pocket. The bounty has to come from the treasury.
"Can."
Yuan Yiyi nodded.
How could she not see Zheng Zhi’s intentions?
At this moment, as the emperor of a country, he must not be stingy.
Not only that, she also announced in public: "Commander Zheng's words are my words. From today on, Commander Zheng's orders are my imperial edicts. At critical moments, Commander Zheng's orders, even mine, must be obeyed."
, until the end of the war.”
This can be regarded as supporting Zheng Zhi.
It also makes Zheng Zhi's words more authoritative.
Hearing this, the owners were stunned.
How much does His Majesty the Blood Emperor trust the young man in front of him?
Even the old commander has never had such treatment.
Now Zheng Zhi is like an emperor without wearing dragon robes.
Yuan Yiyi's move was equivalent to handing over the fate of the entire empire, and even the power and wealth of the entire empire, to Zheng Zhi.
How much trust is this?
Is His Majesty the Blood Emperor really not afraid of Zheng Zhisheng's betrayal?
