In the following days, Tiance Mansion was still lively.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhou came to Tiance Mansion every day with the female family members of Wuhou Mansion and the female family members of Han Family respectively.
Liu Hongxiu and Li Shishi learned that Bai Yuxian begged the emperor for mercy, and the emperor decreed that the two girls were officially promoted from Bai Yuxian's concubines to Bai Yuxian's wives. The news spread, and it also caused quite a stir.
Especially among the daughters of the Wuhou Mansion and the Han Family.
The result was that in addition to the congratulations from the girls to the two girls, the other girls such as Bai Feifeng, Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue, Bai Lan, etc. also looked at Bai Yuxian with increasingly hot eyes.
Even Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Zhou and others all looked at Bai Yuxian with increasing intensity.
Because Bai Yuxian has a precedent of asking the emperor for the favor of Liu Hongxiu and Li Shishi to be promoted to their wives. Doesn't that mean that even if she only marries Bai Yuxian as a concubine in the future, as long as Bai Yuxian can always get it? If the emperor values and performs meritorious services again, he can continue to ask the emperor for mercy and promote his concubine to his wife.
In this case, it doesn't matter if she marries Bai Yuxian as just a concubine for the time being.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but become more eager to bring together the four girls Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue, Bai Lan and Bai Yuxian.
Even the Zhou family could not help but have some thoughts of bringing together their daughter Han Lin and Bai Yuxian.
After all, although Bai Yuxian is the uncle of their Han family, Han Shiyin is not her biological daughter, so Bai Yuxian cannot be regarded as her son-in-law.
But it would be different if his daughter Zhou Lin also married Bai Yuxian.
Although this may be criticized by others, after all, Han Shiyin and Han Lin are half-sisters.
But in ancient times, there was the Ehuang Nüying. As long as the son-in-law was good enough, it didn't matter if the sisters and colleagues had the same husband.
And Mrs. Zhou herself could see that her daughter's heart might have been trapped in Bai Yuxian for a long time.
Bai Yuxian still doesn't know the specific thoughts of Mrs. Bai, Zhou and others, but even if he knows, he won't care too much.
Anyway, Bai Yuxian's rule has always been not to take the initiative or refuse.
But if you are willing, he can be responsible.
——
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
"General!"
"General!"
"."
Early that morning, Bai Yuxian rode his horse to Beiya Tiance Camp.
At this time, a few days had passed, and the news of Bai Yuxian's promotion to general had finally slowly subsided, allowing Bai Yuxian's life to finally calm down.
At the same time, after the past few days, the imperial military department finally issued rewards for the entire Tiance Army.
First of all, Gao Shi, Li Siye, and Feng Changqing, the most prominent members of Bai Yuxian's command, were all canonized as Zhonglang General, the fifth rank.
Secondly, most of the generals who were proficient in martial arts in the army were officially pardoned and given the rank of captain or captain. In addition, other generals also received rewards based on their merits.
Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou were also pardoned and conferred the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army because they performed outstandingly and made many military exploits after their surrender in the Battle of Hongqingshan, and their own strength was also strong. Even their martial arts strength is still at a high level in Gaoshi. , Li Siye, and Feng Changqing.
However, the two of them were demoted generals after all, and had performed meritorious service, so naturally they could not be compared with Gao Shi, Li Siye, and Feng Changqing in terms of position.
Others in Hongqingshan who followed Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou to surrender were also pardoned or given minor promotions according to the circumstances and officially entered the Tiance Army.
The total number of returnees in Hongqingshan, headed by Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou, is about three thousand, and they are all very strong. There are forty or fifty martial arts masters who are advanced in martial arts, and the rest are at least beginners in martial arts. A warrior who has entered the realm of martial arts and qi and blood.
The military positions in the Tang Dynasty were roughly as follows, starting from the general level and going from low to high.
Duwei, Xiaowei, Zhonglangjiang, general, great general, general, certain general.
The captaincy is the lowest military official position among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, but it is a hurdle. Becoming a captain means that you have officially entered the general level in the Tang Dynasty army and have a rank, but the rank is uncertain. The lowest level may be ninth rank, and the highest rank is It could also be level seven.
Above the captain is the captain, and the ranks vary, but the lowest is seventh rank.
Above the school captain is the Zhonglang General, and the ranks of the Zhonglang General also vary, but the lowest is at least the sixth rank, and the highest can even reach the fourth rank, which is higher than the ordinary general rank.
In addition, Zhonglang General is often the highest official and powerful person in a large army besides the leading general. Even most of the time, the main leader and manager of an army is Zhonglang General.
Above the generals are generals, with the lowest rank being fifth. In theory, after becoming a general, you can lead an army and become the chief general of an army. However, this is only theoretical. In fact, many generals in the Tang Dynasty have only empty names. But in fact, the rank power is not as good as that of some powerful generals.
Above the general is the great general, the third rank.
Above the general is the general, the second rank.
Above the general is a so-and-so general, the first rank, and so-and-so is mostly named after the commander of the army. For example, Chen Xuanli, the highest-ranking commander of the Longwu Forbidden Army among the four imperial guards in the capital, is currently a second-rank Longwu General. If he is further promoted to the first rank, he will be General Longwu.
However, it is very difficult to move up the official ranks in the Tang Dynasty after reaching the third rank. After basically reaching the third rank and then reaching the second rank, it is already the top level. It is almost impossible to reach the first rank. Even the now powerful Prime Minister Li Linfu only has the second rank. Just a product.
After this canonization by the Ministry of War, the entire Tiance Army has basically received a promotion from top to bottom.
Now the structure of the entire Tiance Army has changed from top to bottom.
Chief General: Bai Yuxian, the third-level imperial general of the imperial army.
Lieutenants: Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, the fifth-rank Tiance lieutenant generals in the imperial court.
Other generals: Li Sanlang, Sun Wuzhou and many other military lieutenant colonels and captains with advanced martial arts abilities.
Finally, there are the armored soldiers under the generals.
"General."
"General."
"."
"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
Bai Yuxian stepped into the commander's camp and summoned all his generals including Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, Li Sanlang, Sun Wuzhou and above.
At this time, all the faces of the generals were beaming with joy.
After all, after receiving the rewards from the Battle of Hongqingshan, they have basically all been rewarded and promoted. Many of the generals present were promoted because of their achievements in the battle at Hongqingshan.
Even Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou, who were demoted generals, are no exception. Although in terms of strength, the two of them are definitely the strongest in the field besides Bai Yuxian, and are higher than Gao Shi, Li Siye, and Feng Changqing, but the two There is no dissatisfaction because the position is lower than that of Gao Shi.
After all, as a surrendered general, they were not only cleared of the original crime of banditry, but also transformed into a general of the imperial imperial army. They were already satisfied.
Don’t you see what happened to everyone else in Hongqingshan besides them.
"This time, the Hongqingshan incident in Xiangzhou has been settled, and the imperial court's reward has been issued. Now let's talk about the subsequent development of our Tiance Army."
"A few days ago, His Majesty summoned me to the palace and ordered our Tiance Army to continue to expand. He asked our Tiance Army to expand its strength to 50,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, in the coming time, our Tiance Army will continue to recruit troops. , increase the number of troops to 50,000, Chang Qing you will be mainly responsible for this, Zhong Wu you and Si Ye will assist Chang Qing, as will the other generals."
After sitting down in the coach's position, Bai Yuxian spoke.
"promise."
Feng Changqing and other generals immediately agreed.
His face couldn't help but show joy again.
After all, if the strength of the Tiance Army continues to increase, the strength of the Tiance Army will inevitably grow again. As a general of the Tiance Army, their rights will naturally increase accordingly.
"However, there is no rush to recruit troops. We can wait until half a month before starting this matter. When I returned to Beijing in triumph, I said before that after the imperial court has announced the specific reward, everyone will have a holiday to rest for a period of time. Now the imperial court has announced the reward. We have already come down and everything is done, so I decided to give the entire army a half-month holiday."
"In this half-month period, apart from not doing anything wrong, everyone is free to decide on any other matters and time. If you want to go home and have enough time, you can also go home and visit."
"As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking in brocade at night. With this reward, everyone has achieved initial success and it is time to go home and see."
"Okay, I won't talk too much about other nonsense. However, during the holidays, the camp guard cannot be left behind. Chang Qingqing will make arrangements for this."
"promise."
All the generals responded in unison.
Immediately after Bai Yuxian ordered him to disperse, many generals couldn't wait to walk out of the camp quickly.
