It is the fourth level among the twenty-level titles in the Qin Dynasty.
It means just like its name.
If you don't do it, you don't have to serve for one year and one month, which is also commonly known as corvee.
For men, this is a great thing.
Qin's military service was very arduous, even heavier than taxes.
The soldiers not only carry out some simple military training, but also undertake the construction of various projects, such as building city walls, building roads, digging canals, transporting grain and grass, maintaining horses, etc.
Moreover, the Qin government has extremely strict requirements on the quality of service. If the city wall built does not meet the requirements, not only will you be punished, but the officials in charge of the soldiers will also be punished.
Moreover, the city wall built must have a one-year warranty. If it is damaged within one year, the officials will punish the city wall, and all the guards who originally built the city wall will have to be recaptured for repairs, and the repair time will not be counted. During service time.
In addition, the soldiers must obey the call of the country at any time. Whenever the war requires it, they can be called to participate in the war. The time to participate in the war is uncertain and depends on the length of the war. Generally, they will not be replaced midway. They may be replaced as soon as they go to the battlefield. , and will never come back.
This situation lasts until the men reach the age of retirement. Those without titles retire at the age of sixty, and those with titles up to the age of fifty-six must work until the age of fifty-six.
Now that Zhao Tuo has been promoted to the fourth level, at least he no longer has to work as a free laborer to build the city wall every year. This is a real benefit brought by the title.
Of course, this does not mean that there will be no need to fight if the title is upgraded to a certain level.
Although the battle of guarding soldiers is exempted, the battle of guarding soldiers is still indispensable. If you really want to go to the battlefield, you have to pack your bags and follow.
"Okay, Chief, you already wear a crown. I wonder when I can wear a crown and go out to show off."
Black Butt stared at the plate crown on Zhao Tuo's head with envy. He had just been upgraded to Shangzao. His hair was tied into a right bun and covered with a red scarf.
"Bah, your black ass has turned into a dick, and you're still so dissatisfied." Xiaobai said with a sour taste in his mouth.
Black Buttocks laughed loudly: "Master Xiaobai, your title is lower than mine. From now on, you must be more respectful to me, Black Buttocks. Do you hear me?"
Xiaobai rolled his eyes and shouted: "You black ass, who hasn't seen anyone yet? This time you were just lucky enough to follow the village chief. If it were me who was guarding the north gate, I would have become the superior this time." I am the one who made it.”
Black Hips laughed and said: "It's not because of my Black Hips ability that I was favored by the village chief. No, what kind of village chief is this? When A Tuo gets promoted this time, I'm afraid he will be promoted to Hundred Generals. "
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that I will call him Zhao Baijiang from now on."
Xiaobai, Xiqigu, Heihipu, Shejian and other Gengshi elders gathered around Zhao Tuo who had just put on the trapezoidal plate crown, and they all praised him.
Even Shejian, who rarely spoke, kept nodding to Zhao Tuo with a faint smile on his face.
Xiaobai and Xiqigu both still hold the title of Duke, and their eyes are shining with stars.
Zhao Tuo looked at his few cronies and said with a smile: "If you work hard, you will be promoted to an official rank sooner or later."
"Okay, I will definitely follow in the footsteps of General Bai."
Xiqigu said seriously. He was extremely envious when he looked at the black buttocks and the red scarf on Shejian's head.
When he first joined the army, he still had the pride of a public servant, a village official, and a member of the Xiqi family, and looked down on these white-skinned soldiers with poor family backgrounds. But now, all his pride has been severely shattered by reality.
Seeing that all the white soldiers of Gengshi in the past have become superiors, even Zhao Tuo, who was once a public servant with him, suddenly became Bu Geng, which is three levels higher than him. .
Moreover, Zhao Tuo has indeed made a real contribution, which makes people have to admire him.
Xiqigu now understood clearly that the young man in front of him would definitely be capable of reaching the sky if he did not change his title, and his title would definitely not be his pinnacle. If you follow him closely, you might have a bright future.
Just when Xiqigu fell in love with Zhao Tuo completely.
Zhao Tuo also looked forward to Shu in his heart.
"Sure enough, the battlefield upgrade is the fastest. In less than half a year, I have already been promoted to the third level. If Brother Tingzheng says that I may not be able to advance to the first level even if I sit in the school for three years."
"But the most you can get is one level by beheading a team. Once you reach the fifth level, the title of doctor is not so easy to upgrade. If you want to quickly raise the title, besides participating in the war, you have to think of other ways."
Just as Zhao Tuo thought, without changing the fourth-class title, he can already hold the position of a hundred generals in the army. This position can be upgraded to the rank of doctor by relying on the thirty-third level of beheading.
But further up, it can’t be upgraded simply by killing people.
You cannot upgrade unless you participate in a battle of this level such as the Battle of Yishui and the capture of Wuyang. Ordinary battles can only accumulate some merit, and it is difficult to meet the upgrade standards.
After all, the title of the Qin Kingdom in this period was still very precious, and a fourth-level title was enough to make people fight over it.
How could it be like more than ten years later, when Emperor Qin Shihuang bestowed titles on several occasions, and the title of Qin Kingdom began to be abused.
Even among the laborers who built the Qin Mausoleum, there were many debt-payers who did not change their jobs and had no title. These noble men worked together with the prisoners during their lifetimes. After their death, they dug a hole and were buried with the prisoners.
However, no matter how frivolous Qin's title was, it was much better than the eight-level civil nobility system introduced by the Han Dynasty later.
For example, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty granted thirteen levels of nobility to men in the world during his eighteenth year in power.
Even children of a few years old can have the title of eighth-level public knight, so the people are not happy to get the title, but they are not afraid to lose the title. Just thinking about it is outrageous, and it has completely destroyed the military merit system.
Just when everyone was overjoyed to receive the title.
Suddenly, Li Xin's soldiers came.
"Captain Zhao Tuo, General Li orders you to go."
Everyone was stunned, wondering why Li Xin, as General Pi, went directly to Zhao Tuo. After all, there are still five levels of leaders between them.
Zhao Tuo said thoughtfully, "No."
Zhao Tuo did not dare to delay and followed Li Xin's short soldiers through the camp and tents and entered Zhuoyi City.
Now with the arrival of Wang Jian's army, Zhuoyi City has implemented military control, and there are almost no pedestrians on the wide streets. After a while, Zhao Tuo came outside Li Xin's residence.
There were several personal guards outside the house. They were holding weapons and standing upright.
Seeing Zhao Tuo approaching, their eyes exchanged with each other, full of surprise.
Zhao Tuo smiled at them, straightened his clothes a little, straightened the crown on his head, held his head high, and walked straight in.
Li Xin was the only one in the room.
He knelt down on the couch, holding a piece of silk book in his hand to read, which was full of words.
Seeing Zhao Tuo come in, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The young man wearing a crown and armor has a well-proportioned body shape and a handsome face. He can be called a beautiful young man no matter where he is placed.
"Meet the General."
Zhao Tuo saluted quickly.
Li Xin looked at Zhao Tuo and spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"Starting today, you will be transferred to my short-term soldiers, and you will be a hundred generals."
