Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Hao said respectfully.

Being able to be received by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, who has the overall situation in mind, swallows the world with anger, and works hard to govern.

Wei Hao was both nervous and excited.

"You have made great achievements, and the imperial court will definitely reward you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Er signaled Wei Hao to join the line, and his eyes moved to Changsun Wuji.

"Duke Zhao!"

"Chen is here!"

Changsun Wuji hurried out.

"Read out the reward edict on my behalf!"

"According to the order!"

Changsun Wuji stood in front of the civil servants and generals, straightened his body, and read out the reward edict on behalf of the Tang emperor...

Originally, it was Li Ji who received the award first.

However, because Li Ji did not follow the imperial court's deployment, he changed his combat strategy privately, led his army to pursue the enemy without reporting the battle situation to the imperial court, and went deep behind the enemy's rear alone, almost in danger.

Considering that he thus defeated the enemy, his merits and demerits were offset.

The previous titles and positions remain unchanged.

Li Ji did not raise any objections to the court's decision.

Although Li Ji did not receive a direct reward, he has already made a name for himself.

He knew that his position in Datang had already been established.

What's more, his son Li Zhen was named county magistrate.

It also shows the court's affirmation of him.

After the grandson Wuji read out the rewards from Li Ji and his family, it was Wei Hao's turn.

This was deliberately arranged by Li Er, and Wei Hao's reward was arranged first.

He wanted the ministers to remember Wei Hao, and he also wanted the subjects of the Tang Dynasty to know that he, Li Er, was an eclectic employer, and he used talents to an extremely high level.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Hao, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
"Wei Hao, although he is the brigade commander of Yanmen Pass, he is not afraid of powerful enemies, takes the lead, and bravely wins the three armies.

He rushed to help Dingxiang with dozens of recruits first, and rescued the king of Huaihua County and the Khan of Monan.

Later, he assisted Shuozhou Road, the general manager of the march and the Minister of the Ministry of War, in the battle of Nuozhenshui, killed the enemy's commander-in-chief, Dadushe, and defeated Xue Yanjun!
He also helped Monan put down the rebellion of the Sijie tribe, which is a great contribution!
Specially conferred the title of Zuowei Zhonglang General, Xun Qingche Duwei, Jue Kaiguo Bo, and the title of Zhuangwu General for his military exploits!
Reward two hundred bolts of silk, five hundred households in the food town, and one mansion! "

"Chen Wei Hao thanked the Lord for his grace! May my emperor be blessed!"

Wei Hao bowed and bowed.

He couldn't restrain the joy in his heart and smiled.

Such a big reward had to make him happy and excited.

Not only has he been promoted to several ranks in a row, but he has also been awarded a lord and given a fief.

It is rare to be able to obtain such honors at a young age by virtue of military merits in the Tang Dynasty!

What's more, he still enlisted in the army as a crime.

In his capacity, he was able to receive such an honor because he met the Mingjun of Datang.

Met the right dynasty.

Datang established the country by force.

Has always been advocating force.

Martial arts are favored among the people, and knight-errants are popular.

The reason why Datang is strong is inseparable from its powerful military power.

Even scholars are required to be proficient in the basic skills of horseback riding and archery.

If it were another dynasty, I am afraid that Wei Hao's military achievements would have been buried long ago.

General Zuowei Zhonglang, under the fourth rank of the official position, is a senior general in the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, Wei Hao is about to command part of the imperial guards.

A person who can become a general of the Imperial Guard is not qualified to be a general.

The main duties of the imperial guards are to guard the capital, defend the palace, and be responsible for the safety of the emperor.

The importance of its responsibilities can be imagined.

Due to the particularity of the Imperial Guard, all its soldiers are elite.

At the same time, you must be absolutely loyal to Datang and the emperor.

Wei Hao's promotion to Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General shows the imperial court's recognition of his military exploits and abilities.

It also shows Li Er's trust in him.

Many ministers expressed surprise that Wei Hao was promoted several levels.

Some ministers expressed doubts at the beginning.

But after learning about Wei Hao's military exploits, the voice of doubt disappeared immediately.

Even Wei Zheng, who usually likes to play against Li Er, was embarrassed to question Wei Hao's great military exploits.

The other ministers had nothing to say.

Every contribution made by Wei Hao alone is worthy of being promoted.

What's more, he made several great achievements in a very short period of time.

He deserves several ranks!

It must be known that defeating Xue Yan's army and driving them back to Mobei has great strategic significance.

On the one hand, Datang continued to control Monan;
On the other hand, the tribes in Mobei did not dare to go south easily.

If it weren't for Wei Hao's enlistment from the body of a sinner, his title would be higher and his rewards would be even greater.

Changsun Wuji continued to read out the edict of rewards, rewarding other meritorious officers and soldiers, recorders and enlisted in the army.

Zhang Jian, Xiao Siye, Xue Wanche, Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, Zhang Shigui and other generals who participated in the war were either promoted or awarded.

Among them, Zhang Jian was promoted to the governor of Yingzhou and also protected Dongyi School.

Mainly control the northeast region, including Gaoju, Xi, Qidan and other foreign countries.

Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded.

Yes, punishment.

Wang Wendu, the former deputy general of Yanmen Pass, impeached the meritorious general for no reason, and was timid and cowardly, so he shrank in the pass.

Therefore, he was stripped of his post as deputy general of Yanmen Pass and exiled to Lingnan.

Li Er hated this kind of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death all his life, and he didn't show much mercy to Wang Wendu's punishment.

After Changsun Wuji read out the edict of rewards and punishments, Wei Hao suddenly came out to play:
"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Er looked at Wei Hao suspiciously.

"I ask your Majesty to exchange the silk cloth and land rewarded by you into silver taels..."

As soon as this remark came out, the minister was in an uproar.

There were many ministers whispering to each other and talking about it.

Li Er motioned the officials to be quiet, and then asked Wei Hao:
"Why do you want to exchange the materials rewarded by the imperial court into silver taels?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I want to donate the silver taels to the soldiers who died fighting for the court and the Tang Dynasty in this battle." Wei Hao said neither humble nor overbearing.

Wei Hao's response was unexpected.

Most of the ministers present at first thought that Wei Hao was greedy for money, relying on his military exploits, and wanted to bargain with His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, he was a soldier who died for the battle.

Li Er frowned slightly: "As for the soldiers who died in battle, the imperial court will order the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to issue pensions."

After a pause, he showed a little smile:

"You voluntarily exchanged the materials rewarded by the court for silver taels, and gave them to the soldiers who died in battle. I am very pleased!"

"I have decided that all the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle will be distributed by the imperial court, and the imperial court rewards you will remain the same!"

"British Duke!"

Li Er's eyes moved to Li Ji.

"Chen is here!"

Li Ji immediately stepped out and bowed.

"Now you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you will lead the Ministry of War to be responsible for the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle!

Be sure to implement it carefully, and don't miss any soldiers who died in battle! "

"According to the order!"

"Liang Guogong!"

Li Er's gaze moved away from Li Ji and landed on Fang Xuanling.

"Chen is here!"

Fang Xuanling also hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"You draw up a decree for me, regardless of whether you have made meritorious service or not, as long as the soldiers who participated in the campaign against Xue Yanjun, the family will be exempted from taxes for one year.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, the court will issue pensions, and their families will be exempted from corvee labor for ten years and taxes for three years! "

"According to the order!"
