The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 85
In terms of age, Marshal Zuo is more than enough to be Randy's great-grandfather, and calling him a good nephew is based on Zeng Shan.The holy commander had something to "discuss" with him, Randy quickly bowed, "But according to the commander's order."

"This—" Marshal Zuo scratched his head, "I offer a reward of [-] gold coins for Huck's head, and this reward must be fulfilled."

Randy understands that whenever a leader says something like this, there must be a "but" behind it, and Randy can't make things difficult for Marshal Zuo, "Marshal Zuo has a heavy responsibility for the country, and everything is in the interests of the country."

Randy said so well, Zuo Dashuai felt relieved, "Zeng Zicheng is a good student, young people nowadays don't think so much about the court, it's rare, rare."

The two seem to have a good chat, but Randy actually sensed the generation gap between the two.Randy said "country" and Zuo Dashuai said "court".Of course, in the Western Regions, there is not much difference between these two concepts when facing Yagubo and orcs.

Randy doesn't agree with Zuo Dashuai's words.He has seen a lot of young people nowadays who betray their own class and serve the country wholeheartedly for the country and the people.But it is true that those considered for the "court" are relatively rare.

Commander Zuo put his hands behind his back, "It's hard for me to be a commander. Barbarians are good at fighting, and Agubo has the support of elves and Lucia behind him, and his weapons are also advanced.

Our new army doesn't even have enough military uniforms, so I had to set up the Jincheng Weaving Bureau in Jincheng.In order not to lose money on weapons, capable firearms technicians were dispatched from Guangzhou and Zhejiang to imitate Krupp's breech-loading screw cannons of the Demon Race at the Jincheng Manufacturing Bureau. This is all money. "

Marshal Zuo cupped his hands toward Dongfang, "Thanks to the great support of Lafayette, the household department allocated 200 million taels, and the provinces paid 300 million taels, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

I put down my old face, borrowed more than 800 million taels from overseas Chinese businessmen, and borrowed nearly 400 million taels of foreign money, which led to this Western Expedition.In the future, the need for military expenditures will continue to flow, and in the end there will be no 4000 million taels of silver.

Ten thousand gold coins is not a large amount, but now we are about to take all the Western Regions, and we are at the critical moment of showing force to Lucia and forcing them to return our occupied territories. Every copper coin must be used wisely.

Nephew, I am very pleased that you can consider the difficulties of the court. "

I heard that Marshal Zuo meant to renege on his debt?Randy was a little embarrassed.He doesn't need money himself.But Huck was captured by the team members, and he couldn't get the reward. How can he explain to his comrades when he goes back?

Seeing that Randy's face was not very happy, Marshal Zuo smiled slightly, "I don't want to renege on the debt, it's just that the military expenditure is a little tight. What I mean is to reward you with something more valuable instead of the [-] gold coins. You can understand."

It's all about this, and it's the righteousness of the family and the country, and it's a good nephew, Randy can't force Marshal Zuo to ask for money, and bows again, "Marshal Zuo decides everything."

Zuo Pucun waved his hand, and a set of armor appeared in his hand.The stainless steel is hand-polished, gilded with gold, and inlaid with various gemstones. The magic on it fluctuates continuously, and it looks like a top-notch product at first glance.

"This is the holy gold armor bestowed by the Holy Lord before I set off. It must be worth more than [-] gold coins. It is useless for me, a formation master, to wear this, and I am surrounded by an army. This set of holy armor, follow me Blind for nothing.

You have made meritorious service for the country, and as the imperial envoy, I will issue an order on behalf of the heavens and reward you with this set of armor.In the future, this set of armor will be useful in fighting for the country. Are you satisfied? "

Is Randy satisfied?So satisfied.This is a set of holy-level steel armor. In fact, swordsmen no longer need to wear armor when they reach the holy level. This is for master-level swordsmen.

Although Randy can't wear it now, he has full confidence in his promotion to the Great Swordsman in the future, and he will definitely be able to use it.

Moreover, this kind of national treasure cannot be calculated from the cost.

Just for the gimmick of "Marshal Zuo's Imperial Gift Golden Armor", it is not a problem to sell it for tens of thousands of gold coins, and of course Randy is not willing to sell it.

The problem is that I can't ask for it myself, "Marshal, this is your personal property, it's a matter of business. Military expenses are tight, I'd rather not reward you, and you can't pay for it yourself."

"Hey, Zuo has already committed himself to the country, there is no distinction between public and private here.

Randy, your handsome left is old.When I was in JYG, I said, "The strong man will sing long songs, no longer suffer from going out of the fortress, and grow old and strong." This may be the last time that I, an old guy, will go out for Daxia.

I am not a few years younger than Zeng Zicheng, and the day when I will see the God of Light is not far away.It was rumored that when Zeng Zicheng was about to die, he scattered all the artifacts at the graduation ceremony.

The future of Daxia lies in you young people, if the treasures are given to you, it is not considered as a secret investment of pearls.Zeng Zicheng can do it, but someone from Zuo can't?Are you looking down on me, Zuo Pucun? "

How could Randy look down on Marshal Zuo, took the golden armor with both hands, and knelt down on both knees, "Thank you for the generous gift, Marshal. Lan will definitely live up to the Marshal's expectations and fight for the country with this armor in the future."

"Okay! I'm not mistaken, your kid will definitely be promising in the future."

Marshal Zuo shook his head, "Huck's account has been settled, but that of Agubo and Hu Li has not yet been settled. You have made too many achievements at one time, and rewards will make me, an old fellow, scratch my head."

The commander-in-chief Zuo now looks like a businessman, Randy couldn't bear it, "The commander-in-chief has already awarded the golden armor, Lan is extremely honorable, and there is no need for more rewards."

"That won't work. If Zuo can't be rewarded for his meritorious service, how can he command the army? Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you."

This time Marshal Zuo stretched out his hand, and Meng Gen, the new assistant behind him, handed over an ivory card, and Marshal Zuo rubbed the ivory card in his hand, "This is the idea that Meng Gen helped out, I heard that you are old acquaintances?
You captured Hu Li and got the body of Yagubo. I want to reward you. I don’t have any money. You can be promoted to your official position. You have this tooth card. "

The golden armor in Randy's hand has been received in the space, and he took a look at the tooth plate, and it was engraved with "Wu, the fourth grade."

"I will appoint you as the fourth-rank supervisor, and assign a battalion to you to command. You can promote those comrades of yours by your side. Wouldn't it be a good thing to get promoted and get rich together with you?"

ah?Randy is stunned, and it's Sipin Guandai again?I have a relationship with the battalion commander, right?
In all honesty, Randy is quite willing to be the Guan Dai under Zuo Dashuai.This is completely different from working with the bandit-born warlord subordinate Zhang Dashuai in Xiangping. This is the most elite army in Houxia.

However, as expected, the battle in the Western Regions was over.If I am the management representative, the most likely thing is to lead the soldiers back to their hometown, and go back to southern Shonan to show off their might.

Of course, if you can't fight and get promoted, Sipin Guandai is not small.The old acquaintance Meng Genbao Li highly judges others by himself, thinking that he also wants to be promoted, isn't this a disservice?
Immediately, he told Marshal Zuo what he told his teacher, Master Li Jinglin.

Marshal Zuo twisted his beard with his hands, "Don't want to lead the army? That's easy to do. The teeth cards are all ready for you, so you can keep them.

The two credits for capturing Agubo and Huli are each worth a Yunqi Lieutenant.I'm going to tell you the Holy Majesty, combining the two merits into one, and recommending you the title of Captain Rider, which happens to be the fourth rank.

Since then, you have the status of a nobleman, even if you roam the rivers and lakes, you are still respected, aren't you? "

"Thank you sir."
