Chapter 197: Battle Merit Reward, Heavenly Soul Lives in the Temple! (6K)(2/3)
"Open the volcano, lead the Sinong Camp to cultivate the fifth-level Earth Fire Lotus, and obtain 450,000 combat merits."
"The bombing of Full Moon City, coupled with the rewards for the Shenwei Army's breakthrough, totaled more than 100,000 battle credits."
"I originally thought that three to four hundred thousand for military merit would be enough, but I didn't expect that I would be given nearly six hundred thousand."
After stealing the seeds, Yu Ziqi, Chen Shijie, and Long Xiao all had about 20,000 to 30,000 military exploits.
The military world doesn't look at how much risk you take, only the results.
The third and fourth level Earth Fire Lotus seeds can bring back an average of 20,000 to 30,000 battle merits per person, which is considered too much.
Because the Earth Fire Lotus seeds are just seeds, only the third and fourth levels.
But for the merits of cultivating and planting, he was given 450,000!
Although Dong He also participated, there were also thousands of farmers who contributed their efforts in planting and cultivating the fifth-level fire lotus.
But there is no doubt that Zhao Xing has contributed the most!
It also happened to coincide with the announcement by the military community of tasks related to fire repellent materials.
Coupled with the fire-proofing robe, which is effective in breaking through the Fire Dragon Pass, it also contributes a lot to Zhao Xing's personal military exploits.
As for conquering Yuanyue City, this is also the main force. In addition, the Shenwei Army is the main force in conquering Huolong Pass.
All of them add up to nearly 600,000 military exploits!
You must know that during this period, there were no opportunities to make great achievements, except for the Shen Lei Army in the west, which broke through Yang Qilin's first line of defense, which was considered a great victory.
The main forces of the Xuanjia Army in the north, the Tiger Jiao Army, the Lieyang Army, etc. are all still in a stalemate.
Most of the troops in the Fire Demon Clan's war zone had a free period of time, but Zhao Xing earned nearly 600,000 in combat merit.
It is precisely because of this that the ranking skyrocketed in an instant.
In the seventh-level ranking list, it directly ranked 69th, and the overall ranking also reached more than 5,000!
Nowadays, the number of sixth-grade officers in the entire Pingman battlefield exceeds 60,000, and the number of seventh-grade officials exceeds one million.
Of course he is happy to be ranked 69th!
"As long as the military community carries out a phased truce, I can honor these military merit rewards." Zhao Xing said secretly.
What kind of rewards can there be for millions of military exploits?
First of all, there is the title. Zhao Xing did not have any title before, but now with millions of military exploits, he can jump 10 levels in a row, to the third level of Baron, the third level of Viscount, and the third level of Earl.
If the war were to end now, he would now have reached the threshold for being awarded a marquis.
Of course, now he is the lowest level marquis, with only a settlement and no fief.
So how much food can you get if you have millions of military achievements?
According to the rules established by the military community: 10 points of military merit is equivalent to 1 mu of low-grade farmland.
If a ninth-level soldier kills a ninth-level foreigner wearing armor, he can get one acre of square field. (In the Zhou Dynasty, one acre of square field was thirty paces long and thirty paces wide, about 200 square meters).
Zhao Xing now has one million military exploits, and it stands to reason that he can get 100,000 acres of low-grade farmland.
But in fact, the court generally did not give lower-grade fields because it was purely insulting and the yield of the lower-grade fields was too low.
So it needs to be converted.
The conversion of lower, middle and upper fields is based on decimal system, which means that Zhao Xing can now get a thousand acres of high-quality farmland, but usually the upper, middle and lower fields will each get a percentage of the reward.
But this is only a reward of land. If you are promoted to Marquis, you will also get a part of the food.
According to the Marquis's minimum standards, Zhao Xing can still have a food town for a thousand households, which means that he will find a place for you, where a thousand households will farm for you every year, and the land tax paid by these thousands of households will,
It all belongs to you.
As long as you don't make mistakes, the food can be inherited and your descendants can continue to eat it.
Qianhuhou is the lowest grade of Zhou Dynasty marquis.
Now Zhao Xing has reached this minimum standard.
In addition, Zhao Xing will also be awarded San rank and Xun rank, which are even more diverse. For example, Gongyi Dafu, this is the eleventh level of San rank. If you get this San rank, you will be qualified to make suggestions to the state government.
If you continue to move up to the level of [Court Councilor], you can even write letters directly to the emperor and make some suggestions related to the country.
What other functions does it have? First, with the San level, even if you don't have an official position, you can still upgrade and practice.
Second, we can discuss government affairs openly and honestly.
There are also many ways to improve your rank, but in the final analysis, there are two words: more money.
It will increase the salary of soldiers while they are alive. Even after they retire, their pensions will be linked to this.
Here we can take Tian Hou’s grandfather as an example.
Tian Yan's grandfather reached the highest level of a second-grade official, but his rank reached the forty-fifth level.
It is only one level lower than the highest level 49.
His annual salary, converted into common points in the military world, reached an astonishing twelve million!
Even after retirement, he will still receive 6.34 million per year.
Tian Hou's father had lived for about two hundred years when he received this rank.
Although this honorary rank disappeared after his death, he still accumulated an astonishing wealth while he was alive.
So it was no joke when Lu Bang introduced Zhao Xing and said that Marquis Tian was "quite wealthy".
They are really rich, and they have serious, clean money.
Of course, in this period, even the rank is not that easy to upgrade.
There are a lot of loose ranks, and as long as you reach the fourth rank, you are basically qualified to write letters to the emperor and go directly to Tianting.
There's just no real benefit.
However, now that the battle is not over, these military merit rewards will not be honored immediately.
If you win the battle in the end, the various rewards will be upgraded to a higher level.
If you lose the battle, the reward will be deducted.
When will it be closed?
Zhao Xing remembered that in the eighteenth year of Jingxin, there would be a periodic award.
Because this was the first time Emperor Jing considered ending mid- and low-level military training and starting a high-end war.
However, certain rewards will be cashed out immediately as long as the battle merit reaches a certain limit.
That is the qualification to become a Yin Shen.
"The soul of life lives in the womb, and the two souls of heaven and earth are always outside."
"If you want to turn into a Yin God, you must first take the heavenly soul into the temple. Otherwise, it will be difficult to summon the soul after you die." Zhao Xing thought.
The heavenly soul is called the "Past Soul". He now has millions of military exploits, and the court will send the Yin God to question him.
At that time, Zhao Xing can choose to give up the rewards of the rank and rank brought by the 'millions of military merits' and seek a 'posthumous name'.
"I still have to buy insurance, and the heavenly soul is useless to my cultivation. Even the intersection of the three souls of Dream Spring and Autumn actually has little to do with the soul of the past. It is mainly the soul of 'karma'."
The soul of heaven is the mark of each person’s existence in heaven and earth.
No one can see the existence of Heavenly Soul until it reaches the first level.
Even if you want to cultivate the Earth Soul, it is a matter of the third-grade Yuan Soul realm.
Dameng Chunqiu, currently cultivating the soul of fate, but the soul of cause and effect occasionally intersects, which can provide early warning, but the soul of heaven actually does not play much role.
Living in a temple is safer.
"In case of death, you can still summon the soul of life and the soul of earth through the heavenly soul, and be resurrected as a Yin god."
"You still have to buy this insurance."
The military merit assessment will end on September 20th.
Even if there are still some fragments, it has nothing to do with Zhao Xing.
The three armies were also resting at Huolong Pass.
Because Lu Yuanwei's Divine Thunder Army has not yet penetrated Yang Qilin's second line of defense, their army is not in a hurry to move westward.
Liao Rulong's tribe, Wen Shaoyang's tribe, Xia Jing's tribe, and Jiang Ming's tribe totaled 150,000 people.
This still includes the personnel in the supply city behind.
The manpower dispatched by the Golden Feather Royal Court, from various tribes and the Fire Demon Clan, guarded the Qinggang Mining Area at least four million!
Naturally, we have to wait for Lu Yuanwei to fight first.
"The fifteen armies outside are crossing the river with our Shenwei Army."
"Let's cross the river by following Lu Yuanwei, the son of luck."
Zhao Xing looked at the fifteen miscellaneous armies outside the pass and couldn't help but smile.
