"Sir, your current military achievements..." Fu Liang glanced at the military merit list. "Theoretically, it can only be extended to 221 people."
"So few?" Shen Zhui frowned.
"Your Majesty, I don't know something." Fu Liang said. "According to the rules of military merit, if you have zero to one thousand, you are a first-class sergeant and an ordinary soldier. Usually you are a seventh-level to ninth-level warrior, which is also the basic requirement for Wu'an Army to recruit people."
One thousand to ten thousand are second-class sergeants who can serve as corps commanders. However, they must be held by peak acquired warriors. Of course, there are also innate warriors.
Ten thousand to one hundred thousand is the third level. It must be in the Xiantian realm and can serve as a leader in the team.
One hundred thousand to one million, that’s the leadership level.
The first three, even if their military merit is insufficient, can be appointed by their superiors and promoted exceptionally.
However, the commander-level, even the captain, does not have the right to be promoted. It must be reported to Tianxin Palace and confirmed by Marquis Wu'an. Only if the military merit is sufficient and the combat power meets the conditions can he become a commander.
Because the commander-in-chief is the official position of the military attaché, he is authorized to appoint, and no one can override it except the Marquis of Wu'an.
As for the school captain, Marquis Wu'an must also report to the imperial court and ask for a central decree before he can be appointed.
To be a captain, the emperor must personally issue an imperial edict. Marquis Wu'an is only qualified to be awarded the title and does not have the right to directly appoint.
"My lord's military merit is 16,900 points. Normally, I can only have 169 soldiers under my command and receive a fixed share every month. But my lord also brought us with him on this trip, because the five of us also received We have received military merit, so your Excellency will receive an additional 20% of the military merit from the five of us."
Fu Liang cupped his hands towards Zixuan and said, "Thanks to brother Zixuan for their great contributions, there are only two hundred and twenty-one people under your command."
It turned out to be like this, Shen Zhui knew it in his heart.
Fu Liang continued to explain: "These two hundred and twenty-one people are regarded as the 'regular' army under your command. The monthly resource rations and the soldiers' pensions are all distributed by Tianxin Palace. In other words, even if you fight in a battle, After that, if there is a shortage of staff, these two hundred and twenty-one resources will also be distributed to the adults."
"For example, now, if we don't count the people we brought back this time, although my team of 72 only has 82 people, Tianxin Palace will still issue quotas based on the theoretical number of adults."
"Of course, the rations for the eighty-two people must be distributed in full, but how to distribute the rest is entirely up to your discretion. However, the gap period for this personnel cannot exceed three months. Because every three months, Tianxin Temple It will be automatically calculated once. If there are more, we will not care, but if the number of people under your command is still less than 221, the Heart Palace will only distribute resource rations based on the actual number of people that day."
Shen Zhui frowned and said, "What about the more than two hundred people I brought back?"
Fu Liang smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. Soldiers who are beyond the establishment should enjoy the same benefits. If they die in battle, Tianxin Palace will also provide pensions. It just won't issue resource rations. This is up to you to be responsible for their cultivation." Resources will do.”
Shen Zhui asked in confusion: "What's the difference between the two?"
"Of course there is a difference!" Fu Liang said. "For the soldiers in this establishment, if some of them have accumulated military merit and cultivation that meet the requirements of a higher level, if they do not meet the original level, they can apply for corresponding rewards from above. .If he cannot achieve this, once he officially joins the lord's command, he will always have to obey your lord's orders without your lord's consent. At the same time, part of the military merits and trophies he obtains must be handed over to the lord. Usually two military merits. If it’s done, 10% of the spoils will be given.”
"As for the extra people, there is no such restriction. Unless they sign a divine contract, they can come and go freely. Of course, this only refers to before and after the war. Once on the battlefield, they will also be subject to military law and must obey the orders of the adults."
Shen Zhui nodded, no wonder Yun Wu told him that it all depends on his own ability as to how many people he wants to recruit.
The existence of this supernumerary system must be due to the fear that one general will be incompetent and the entire army will be exhausted. Therefore, some soldiers were given the right to choose.
For example, if a general only cares about his own development, letting his soldiers charge into battle every battle, and taking a lot of benefits for himself, could such a general be a good leader?
The soldiers under the supernumerary system will not receive the resource allocation issued by Tianxin Temple and can come and go freely. This also limits the unlimited expansion of a general and suppresses this competition within a benign range.
Of course, the strong will always be strong. For example, Baiyunfeng has so many innate realms. He is clearly qualified to be a team leader elsewhere, but he is willing to be a team leader here. This is the power of Yun Duo. Such a commander can lead Naturally, the more soldiers the better. But even if there is no supernumerary system, this is a universal truth.
"Fu Liang, you are the old captain of team 72, how many people do you think I should expand?" Shen Zhui decided to ask Fu Liang for his opinion.
"This..." Fu Liang pondered. "It depends on how much effort you are willing to put in."
Shen Zhui smiled slightly: "You can talk about it more seriously."
"If you aspire to be a leader, then the more the better. One hundred million can buy you a thousand acquired ninth-level warriors, enough to support them for a month, including the basic training and daily expenses of these warriors. Even a little surplus."
"If it's the Xiantian realm, it's hard to say." Fu Liang shook his head and said. "Usually, the price of hundreds of acquired ninth-level warriors can recruit one Xiantian primary level warrior, but in fact, the Xiantian realm warriors don't only consider money. , and also look at the future prospects.”
"For example, I, Baiyun Peak, have many innate realms. I would rather not have the few cultivation resources, or even spend money to trust connections, but have to put in the effort to get in."
"But for some unknown commanders, even if they are recruited with huge sums of money, for ten days and a half, no one may join."
"In other words, my reputation is still shallow and I have no money to spend it on?" Shen Zhui sighed.
"That's the truth..." Fu Liang coughed lightly.
"However, your Excellency's performance in this battle is amazing. I can't guarantee how it will be elsewhere, but in my Baiyun Peak, it should be considered famous." Fu Liang said with a smile. "If your Excellency releases the news and offers a lot of money to support it, I'm afraid you will come to vote. There will be no shortage of them."
Shen Zhui nodded: "How many people did Team 72 originally have?"
Fu Liang said slightly sadly: "Seven hundred and sixty-four people!"
"How many of the original brothers are still in Baiyun Peak?"
Fu Liang's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "After my subordinate made a mistake, the Seventy-two Team had less than 400 people, and about a hundred of them were supplementary recruits. The old man who has been following me is probably in his early 300s. After that, my subordinate After being stripped of their posts, the commander transferred more than two hundred people to supply the remaining teams."
"If I give you enough money, can you persuade them to come back?"
"Sir, what do you mean..." Fu Liang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Shen Zhui to make this suggestion.
Qian Jiang, Gao Ziqiu and Fu Bo were also slightly stunned.
"You don't need to think too much. It's just superficial. I'm not testing you." Shen Zhui waved his hand. "Don't trust people you employ, and don't trust people you doubt. Since I trust you, I will trust you to the end."
In this regard, he learned a lot from his old boss Wei Wenhe. And he also believed that with his own strength, Fu Liang would not miss the gap.
Fu Liang is a sensible person. It can be seen from the time when he beat the drum to gather that he knows what he should do.
"My subordinates, do it immediately!" Fu Liang's voice was trembling. Reuniting Team 72 was something he had been thinking about day and night since his failure. He didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly.
Seeing Fu Liang take out his identity token and go out to contact the old deployment, Shen Zhui looked at Gao Ziqiu again: "Ziqiu, when you return to Baiyun Peak, you will immediately collect information on each peak to see which innate realms are most likely to win over. The goal is set at the innate middle level, and the more you go up, the better.”
"Yes, I will take your orders." Gao Ziqiu also exited the cabin excitedly.
"Fu Bo, Qian Jiang. Your mission is to reach the Xiantian Realm in Baiyun Peak. However, you two must pay attention to communicating with each team beforehand. Business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. Even if there is no effect, don't offend anyone. , but to build a good relationship.”
Shen Zhui chuckled and said, "If it doesn't work out today, maybe it will be different tomorrow. This is the foundation of our relationship."
"I understand." Fu Bo and Qian Jiang also ran out in a hurry.
Zixuan had been quietly listening to Shen Zhui's orders. When the four of them got out of the cabin, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Shen Zhui, what are your intentions in recruiting troops so aggressively? Do you want to unite with the people from Baiyun Peak to fight another battle at Sihaimen?"
Shen Zhui glanced at Zixuan, a little surprised by the young man's exquisite mind. However, he did not answer directly, but shook his head in a mysterious manner. "Don't say it, don't say it~"
"Huh, it's mysterious. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. If you don't want to say it, I'm not happy to listen to your chatter!" Zixuan curled her lips, moved her body, turned her back to Shen Zhui, and closed her eyes to practice.
Shen Zhui also closed his eyes and concentrated, lost in thought.
He and Zixuan had plundered more than 3 billion in loot, plus 4.6 billion from the profit share of military merit, and 2 billion donated by Lin Ze, and now he has a net worth of nearly 10 billion!
Money is just a dead thing if you don't use it. How to quickly turn these things into your own hard power is the top priority.
He had already inquired that Li Chengfeng was a peak martial artist in the Lingqiao Realm, and he was a titled captain. That was not the end of it. By late April, he would officially become a captain, and he would also be a titled captain!
what does that mean?
It means that even if Li Chengfeng has not yet become a supernatural power, he definitely has the strength of a supernatural power! It means that even if Li Chengfeng is not in the army now, he will definitely return in April!
In just two months, it was impossible for Shen Zhui, no matter how talented he was, to develop a magical power in just two months!
He has no ability to fight against Li Chengfeng!
But military merit is different!
With one hundred thousand military merits and a combat power reaching Lingqiao realm, you can become a leader!
If Li Chengfeng becomes a captain, then it will be a piece of cake to recruit him as a small captain. Not even Baiyunfeng can stop him!
But if it is a commander, it is completely different!
The commander is a seventh-grade military attaché, an official officially conferred by the imperial court, not a chess piece that can be discarded at will!
Any peak that loses a leader will be devastated. It is a huge event.
Baiyunfeng will definitely not sit idly by and watch!
"Lingqiao realm combat power is not difficult, but it is quite difficult to accumulate 100,000 military merits in the past two months." Shen Zhui thought to himself.
It should be noted that in the battle at Sihaimen, he killed many Xiantian realms, and even participated in the killing of a Lingqiao realm real person, but his military merits were only more than 10,000. Although Fu Liang and other five people jointly contributed some military merits, Let him reach 20,000, but this kind of war is something that can only be met but not sought.
It seems simple. Fighting this kind of war four or five times is enough.
But how many commanders and lieutenants are there in the entire Wanfeng City? I’m afraid there are more than tens of thousands!
But according to his experience in the slave camp, there is such a war only every seven days!
It sounds common, but it can be divided equally among all parties, and the number of times is considered to be very small.
From collecting intelligence, to confirming the location of the barrier where the sect is hiding in another dimension, to deploying all parties, nothing is easy.
Lin Ze still has news about the sect, but it is obvious that he will not fight a second battle to destroy the sect in the short term.
"If I can't participate in this kind of battle within a month, then I will have no choice but to take the risk and go to the 'Blood Demon Battlefield'..." Shen Zhui thought.
There are actually many ways to gain military merit, but this Blood Demon battlefield is an extremely dangerous place.
There are not only people from the sects of the Jiuyou Mountains, but also many great demons, barbarians, and dangerous places.
Even the Spirit Bridge Realm can easily perish in it.
After the innate peak has passed, if there are few people, it will be difficult to even protect oneself.
However, the risks are relatively high, and the rewards are also high. If you can survive on the Blood Demon battlefield, it is still very possible to accumulate the remaining 80,000 military merits.
"I hope we don't have to go to this point." Shen Zhui sighed slightly. Whether he was using the life-saving bag left to him by the county magistrate or going to the Blood Demon battlefield, it meant that his situation was extremely dangerous.
"It's so good, why are you sighing?"
Shen Zhui was stunned, looked at the young man who turned around, and shook his head: "It's nothing."
"Is everything okay? Shen Zhui, I always feel like you have something on your mind. You seem to be tensing up for certain things or people. If this continues, it's not good."
Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows, Zixuan's intuition was simply astonishing. From showing amazing treasure hunting abilities in the Four Seas Sect to now guessing his own thoughts, what is the origin of this young man...?
"It's true that I have some troubles, so don't mention it." Shen Zhui touched his nose. "Zixuan, is there anything you want?"
Whether it is the profits from military exploits or the spoils of war, the other party should share half of it. He should really ask the young man what he needs.
"No need." Zixuan shook her head. "I am only interested in making money, not spending it. Besides, you can't afford what I really want."
"Really or not..." Shen Zhui said suspiciously. "You don't look down on me even if you have billions? You are a high-ranking innate, and this money is probably enough for you to break through to the Spiritual Bridge Realm."
"I don't want to break through so early."
"Why?"
"Where do you get so many? Why, Shen Zhui, you are so wordy..."
