You know, among all the third-grade generals, General Zuo is only lower than the former general!
It is definitely an important position among important positions!
Who is Zhang Xun?
Daqian's first martial arts meritorious service!
If Liu Qing hadn't suddenly appeared this time, Liu Jing would have had no chance to stand up in front of him!
Looking at the entire Daqian, only Liu Gong, the King of Zhongshan, could outdo the only Duke who was awarded a title based on his military exploits in terms of official position!
But even so, Zhang Xun is the lowest-ranking general in the second rank!
There are three levels of auxiliary country, town country and auxiliary army on it!
Even though they are all from the second grade, their titles are different and their meanings are different. Naturally, they are superior and inferior.
After Zhang Xun accumulated so many years of meritorious deeds, he could only reach the level of General of the Zhenjun Army. The difficulty of Wu Xun's promotion can be seen clearly!
And this is actually related to the ancestral system of Daqian.
Emperor Gao, Taizu of Daqian, was a genuine Emperor Wu!
It can be said that martial virtue is abundant!
Although he came from a humble background, he relied on his ability to rise from troubled times and from humble beginnings to sit on the throne!
The hardships involved in such a legendary class leap cannot be explained to outsiders!
But even if you don’t say it, you know that I’ve probably fought countless battles!
So a rule was set at that time: if Wu Xun wanted to be promoted, he had to earn military merit!
If you have enough, you will be promoted!
If you don’t get enough, it doesn’t matter whose son you are, or how good you are in fighting, just stay in your original position!
But is the military success so easy to come by?
The period of Emperor Taizu Gao, including the period of Emperor Taizong Wen, was a time of chaos!
There are more wars than one!
It was also from that time that the majesty of Da Chu as the Kingdom of Heaven gradually disappeared, and disputes continued among the countries in the four directions, and Beiyuan took advantage of the situation to rise!
Born in that era, it was relatively easy to gain military exploits, as long as you were not afraid of death and were willing to fight.
But it's different now. The pattern of the four countries has been decided. In addition, Beiyuan is eyeing it, so the countries need to unite to deal with the outside world.
So large-scale conflicts rarely break out!
It’s really not easy to gain military exploits!
Who is Liu Gong, the King of Zhongshan? He can be called the white jade pillar holding up the sky and the purple golden beam across the sea!
He has been stationed in Daqianbei Xinjiang for more than ten years, but can this be regarded as military exploits?
In fact, it can be counted, but without killing the enemy, it can only be regarded as a small achievement in the end.
Therefore, even if the King of Zhongshan can mobilize almost all the troops of Daqian, his official position is only the temporary first-class governor!
The general who is further up is still hanging in the air!
On the other hand, for civil servants, promotion is relatively easy.
Just make political achievements!
Although this political achievement is difficult, it is still much better than military exploits!
War may not always happen, but the various state capitals in Daqian always need people to govern.
And as long as you have real talent and practical knowledge and make corresponding political achievements, you will be promoted.
Therefore, there are nearly ten first-grade civil servants in Daqian!
The three elders in the cabinet are even more dominant!
There are even more second-grade civil servants, including all six ministers!
On the other hand, for the generals, there is only a Zhongshan King in the first rank, and he is also a temporary titular governor, which is equivalent to none!
In the second rank, the only serious general is Zhang Xun, who is still at the rear of the crane in the second rank.
This shows how difficult it is for Wu Xun to get promoted!
Under such a premise, Li Zhufeng's meridians are obviously dead, and his martial arts skills are 10 or 10, but he still ranks among the third-level General Zuo!
It’s really enviable! Even a little jealous!
After all, how many marquises and counts have worked hard all their lives, and their official positions have only reached the level of General of Four Ans and General of Four Towns.
Compared with Li Zhufeng, he is far behind!
But envy is envy, and there is absolutely no jealousy. Even if there is, it is kept in the heart, and no one dares to say it on such occasions.
After all, Li Zhufeng's performance in this battle to defend Qiandu was obvious to all.
That's really risking your life to fight!
If he hadn't stood up at the critical moment, the building that had been supported would have collapsed, and the one that had turned the tide would have collapsed.
I'm afraid Daqian is really in danger of national subjugation.
This military achievement was paid for with one's life, so no one can say anything about it.
Li Zhufeng was a little surprised when he heard Liu Yu's reward. He was stunned for a while, quite at a loss.
"Marquis Wuling, do you have any objections to this promotion?" Zheng Ying coughed twice and reminded him loudly.
Li Zhufeng woke up and hurriedly fell to the ground, shouting: "Thank you, Your Highness! I have no objection!"
Just kidding, how dare he and how could he object?
Since twenty years ago, he originally thought that this would be the case for his life.
As long as he can raise Changkong well and watch him grow up, get married and have children.
From now on, if I go to Jiuyou, I can have an explanation to Xin'er.
As for himself, his meridians have been destroyed and his strength has declined. In addition, he has lost the trust of the emperor and has been excluded from the inner circle of power in the court.
What hope is there?
However, things are really unpredictable!
Who would have thought that he would be promoted to the third rank of Zuo General twenty years later.
"I will hold a ring of grass in my hand and die ten thousand times to repay the kindness of the court and His Highness." Li Zhufeng said solemnly.
Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded and continued: "There is something really urgent. I urgently need to go to Li Qing's house."
"Your Highness, please tell me that I will never give up even if I die!"
"Today's civil strife in Daqian is surrounded by wolves. The Northern Yuan and Western Jin Dynasties have already shown their fangs and launched an offensive."
"Who would have thought that even Nan Chen would try to get in the way!"
"A few days ago, there was a battle report from southern Xinjiang. It was said that on the Xiangjiang River, Nanchen Navy could be seen training every day. The intention to go north is obvious!"
"I, Da Qian, have just suffered a big change. I am already unable to cope with the Northern Yuan and Western Jin Dynasties."
"But Nan Chen also has to guard against it."
"What I mean is that the Li Qing family has fought against Nan Chen before and wiped out all its navy."
"Why don't you just go to Li Qing's house and work for me to defend the southern border?"
Hearing this, Li Zhufeng was about to agree. Liu Yu lamented and continued: "However, the imperial court will not send any reinforcements to you this time when you go south. Everything can only rely on the southern Xinjiang defenders and the Li Qing family themselves."
"What do you think of Li Qing's family? If you can't accept it, I can also find someone else."
As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers immediately started talking.
They knew that Daqian was in a difficult situation now, but they really didn't expect that Nan Chen, who had even wiped out the navy, wanted to take a piece of the pie.
Seriously, Longyou was teased by a shrimp in the shallows, and a tiger was bullied by a dog when it fell to Pingyang!
A feeling of resentment welled up in my heart for no reason.
It's just that they are angry, but this lack of soldiers and horses, relying only on the original defenders of southern Xinjiang, still made many people murmur.
You know, after Nanchen's navy was wiped out, the imperial court felt that Nanchen was no longer a threat, at least not a big threat in a short period of time, so it withdrew a lot of troops back.
There are not many defenders in southern Xinjiang now!
This is obviously not a good job, but a chore!
The civil and military officials had different expressions, and their eyes were all focused on Li Zhufeng, wanting to see how he would choose.
