In fact, their suppression only prevented Wu Yucao and others from getting too dazzling promotions.
Normally, this kind of promotion is similar. After all, Wu Yucao and others just went to Northern Xinjiang to make soy sauce.
Only Song Shaopeng really followed Lin Yi through the bloody sea of corpse mountain, and his promotion rate was slightly lower.
Including the surviving officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion, in terms of merit, every one of them could at least get the rank of General. In the end, except for Song Shaopeng, they basically only got the rank of Colonel.
If you think about it carefully, if all the guard battalions were given the title of unified general with various titles, such as General Polu or something like that...
Should the Eight Hundred Polu Generals and the Guards Battalion simply be renamed Polu Army?
Then everyone greeted each other when they met: "Hello, General Polu!"
"Has General Polu eaten?"
"General Polu, did you sleep well last night?"
…………
Hmm...the picture is too beautiful to think about.
Sima Yunfei was the most anxious among all the people.
The battle for the crown prince with his second son Sima Yunqi was about to be completely defeated because of Lin Yi's sudden appearance. Now he wanted to kill Lin Yi right away.
But the reality is that he still has to put on a sincere smile to congratulate Lin Yi, the newly appointed general of the country, Shenyonghou!
Facing Lin Yi, who had returned from a great victory and was unparalleled at the moment, Sima Yunfei's mind was racing. He definitely couldn't fight head-on. He had to find a way to use a soft knife to deal with Lin Yi!
"Father, nephew Zhongda has already achieved such amazing achievements at such a young age. He is truly a rare talent in our Hongshang County!"
After Sima Yunfei congratulated Lin Yi, he turned around and greeted Sima Zhengxin with a smile on his face: "A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Titled Kingdom of Long State sent an invitation letter, inviting the young talents of our Hongshang County to go to Long State. The title of the kingdom is to participate in the Young Masters Association, and nephew Zhongda is the most suitable candidate!"
"With Zhongda's virtuous nephew's literary, Taoist and military strategies, we will definitely be able to exalt our country's prestige in the Long Kingdom, and make the heroes of the world dare not underestimate our Hongshang County!"
What Sima Yunfei said was righteous and impassioned, but when others heard this, they couldn't help but have some weird looks on their faces.
The structure of Fuidao is that of dynasties and empires competing for hegemony. Hongshang County is just an insignificant place in the entire Fuidao.
Above Hongshang County is the Longbang Kingdom, whose leader is the prince named by the Baishan Empire.
In the entire Baishan Empire, there are more than two hands with such princely title kingdoms.
There are also more than a dozen subordinate counties under the Longbang title kingdom, such as Hongshang County.
Including the directly affiliated Titled Kingdom, the entire Longbang Titled Kingdom’s territory is almost fifty times that of Hongshang County!
Not only are the two countries different in terms of land area, but also in terms of resources, they are as vast as heaven and earth.
The counties are actually some relatively poor areas of the feudal kingdom, which are enfeoffed and given to others to take care of.
The truly wealthy places are the territories that directly belong to the titled kingdom itself.
Therefore, if a war breaks out between the counties under the title kingdom, the title kingdom will basically ignore it.
You can fight however you like, as long as you don't cross the border into your direct territory!
War can cultivate a strong and elite army. Only when war breaks out between titled kingdoms can good soldiers be recruited.
Therefore, in wars between counties, the title kingdom will not only not intervene in mediation, but may also secretly add fuel to the flames.
To put it bluntly, these counties have no status at all. The Baishan Empire will not pay attention to these counties at all, and they are not even registered in the empire. They are all managed by the titled kingdoms themselves.
If measured by the standards of the secular world, empires are provinces, titled kingdoms are cities, and prefectures are counties or even townships.
The Longbang title kingdom mentioned by Sima Yunfei is the suzerain state of Hongshang County.
And the princes of Long Bang's title kingdom held a gathering of princes, in fact, to recruit a prince-in-law!
The head of the Longbang title kingdom loved his daughter very much and was unwilling to marry her away to another country, so he wanted to select a young handsome man in the country and call him his consort.
In addition to the territories directly under it, there are also many young talents in various subordinate counties.
Therefore, the head of the Longbang title kingdom simply sent out invitations to all the territories including all counties, inviting young talents of the right age to attend the Young Master's Banquet.
Although this matter was not stated explicitly, everyone who should know it also knew it, such as Sima Yunfei and most of the senior officials of Hongshang County, including Sima Yunqi.
"Father, I think this matter needs to be discussed. Zhongda is now also an important minister of our Hongshang County. It will be a bit of a loss of status to attend such a gathering of unpretentious young people!"
Of course, Sima Yunqi couldn't let Lin Yi go to the Long Kingdom to claim the title. His son was so outstanding, there was a high chance that he would be chosen as his son-in-law!
It would be a great thing if I could marry the princess of the Long Kingdom, but this is clearly impossible!
If you stay in the Longbang title kingdom as a consort, you will not be able to come back and inherit the throne of the Hongshangjunguo!
This was Sima Yunfei's idea. Without the threat of Lin Yi, he and Sima Yunfei would compete for the position of crown prince, and the outcome would be hard to say.
Of course, if Lin Yizhen really becomes the consort of the Longbang Titled Kingdom, he may not be able to support Hongshang Commandery and give Hongshang Commandery some benefits.
It's just that Sima Yunqi thought that his newly found son was still such a brave and famous general, and he was forced to be a prince-in-law from now on... How could he be willing to do so?!
"Second brother, what you said is wrong! My nephew Zhongda brought honor to the country, so why did he lose his identity? Being able to show his face in front of His Highness the Prince is also of great benefit to our Hongshang County. Isn't this a good thing? ?”
With a proud smile on his face, Sima Yunfei felt that his entry point was very good, so he blocked it with a big hat, and then sent Lin Yi to Longbang to claim the kingdom!
It would be great if we could really keep this boy as our consort!
Even if you can't, it actually doesn't matter. If you spend some time, some things will be easier to do!
"Taking a step back, what's the point of having Nephew Zhongda trapped in a small place like ours, Hongshang County? Through this young master meeting, Nephew Zhongda can go to Longbang Title Kingdom to broaden his horizons and increase his horizons. Being widely informed and making friends with talents from all over the world will be of great benefit to future development!"
Sima Yunfei said that he was a little excited, as if this thing was really good!
Hongshang County is a small country with few people. If we have the opportunity to establish good relationships with young talents from various countries, it will be a great network!
Otherwise, let Zhong Xiao also go and experience it?
But what if Zhongxiao is attracted by the prince and princess of the Long Kingdom?
Sima Yunfei was hesitant for a while. Sima Zhongxiao was his most outstanding legitimate son and one of the important weights in the fight for the crown prince. He could not be given away casually to be his consort.
