Chapter 63
The New Year is coming to an end, and the short-term training of military cadets is coming to an end.

And today happened to be the fifth day before the end, and it was also the day when the official position was conferred.

It just so happened that today was another sunny day. Thirty officers and students stood straight in the small square near Qianqing Gate, waiting for the conferment of honors and official positions from His Majesty Zhu Youxiao.

According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, in order to facilitate the command and management of the army in the future, military ranks will be conferred uniformly.

These officers and students who have attended the class, as well as Lu Xiangsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and Liu Ruyu, who is also standing in front, already know the concept of military rank and what it represents.

What they are concerned about now is what military rank they can be assessed, because His Majesty Zhu Youxiao personally told them that the higher the position, the higher the corresponding military rank. As they know, the civil and military official ranks represent their own politics. level.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to directly define military ranks based on the military ranks of military officers, but when he thought about it, there is no way to simply reflect the ranks of military officers through epaulets and badges, and there is no way to reflect the complicated military officer ranks directly grafted onto the military rank.

Therefore, after discussing with officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Youxiao simply moved out the military rank, a modern product. , the former Minister of Defense who is also a high-ranking official, or a certain committee member.

"Confer Chang Yanling the rank of major general, the official worship of General Dingguo, and the command of the first infantry battalion of the Imperial Guard Army!"

The sharp voice of Liu Ruyu, the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, came, and all the officers and students subconsciously walked around, until they saw Chang Yanling standing up, and they were convinced that the first person to be awarded the rank of general was the former Qianhu Chang Yanling , not Qin Botong, the former commander, and Lu Jiayu, Lu Shilang's younger brother.

However, Qin Botong, Lu Jiayu and the others were not at all unconvinced. These days, Chang Yanling's military comprehension ability and calm demeanor were not only affirmed by His Majesty and Lu Shilang, but also admired by other officers and students.

Because of this, all the officers and students applauded at the same time, and Qin Botong couldn't help thinking to himself, even Chang Yanling, who dared to challenge His Majesty, could become a major general, or from a second-rank official rank, what should he do? You have to be like him too.

Chang Yanling walked up the steps under the attention of his comrades-in-arms, and solemnly gave a military salute to His Majesty Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao, who was dressed in military uniform, also added a bit of general demeanor. He looked majestic, but at the same time with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to shake hands with Chang Yanling like a spring breeze: "Congratulations, my General Chang Yanling!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chang Yanling was excited in his heart, it was the first time he shook hands with His Majesty who had always been determined to serve his country on the battlefield, and from this moment on, he decided to follow His Majesty the Emperor for the rest of his life and open up territories for him.

There was another burst of applause, when Chang Yanling put on the gold-plated military rank medal awarded by Zhu Youxiao himself.

At the same time, immediately after, the other officers and students all held their breaths and stared at the brochure in Liu Ruyu's hand with eagle-like eyes.

"Confer the rank of Major General to Fu Hai, the official salute to General Zhaoyong, and command the First Battalion of the Imperial Guard Artillery!"

When he heard Liu Ruyu's name was not his own name but Fu Dahai, who usually seemed a little honest and had the most ordinary family background, Qin Botong was slightly taken aback, but when he heard the other officers and students applauding together, he had no choice but to follow suit. clap up.

Fu Dahai never dreamed that he would become the commander of the third rank, just like a poor student who won the first prize in a day, he was so excited that he shed tears for a while, and forced himself not to cry and gave Zhu Youxiao a serious It's just a military salute, but although Fu Dahai has no father since he was a child and his family is poor, he is very fat. No matter how serious this salute gesture is, it looks a bit clumsy.

However, what Zhu Youxiao values ​​is Fu Dahai's honest and obedient character, who is different from ordinary people's sensitive and strong character in mathematics.

"Confer the rank of Major General to Oboi, the official homage to General Zhaowu, and command the First Battalion of the Imperial Guard Cavalry!"

Ao Bai stood up in shock. Although he always thought that no one in the Ming Dynasty was as brave as himself, he also knew that he was a Manchu after all, not my race, and his heart must be different. How much trust His Majesty Zhu Youxiao would give him, maybe he can only be a pro-army guard or a low-level general in his life.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty the Ming Emperor would directly let him be the commander of the cavalry battalion of the imperial guards after recruiting him!

Looking at His Majesty's frank and sincere smile, Oboi had never felt such a strong sense of admiration for an emperor as he did at this moment. He gave a military salute and shouted: "Your Majesty, from today onwards, Oboi is a man of Ming Dynasty. Death is the ghost of Daming!"

"General Oboi understands righteousness deeply, he abandons darkness and turns to light. Although he is not a Han Chinese, he also has a pure heart for my Ming Dynasty. I am very pleased!"

Zhu Youxiao also shook hands with Oboi. At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, if he hadn't appeared in this time and space and changed the direction of history, Oboi's hand more than ten years later would not be the same as his clenched hand. I know how many Han people I will kill with a butcher knife.

But now, one of his hands has been cut off, and the other hand will become his powerful arm against Houjin!

Even a tartar like Oboi was awarded the rank of major general, and at the same time, he was also a third-rank official rank like Fu Dahai. Qin Botong couldn't help but feel more restless. He didn't understand why Liu Ruyu hadn't read his own. The name, logically speaking, this roster should be read according to the official position from high to low, and I used to be a commander, and I also performed well in training. Although it is not as good as Chang Yanling, it is definitely better than Fu Haihai. At least not inferior to that Tartar Oboi.

However, I waited until now, and it was not yet the turn of the Yuma Supervisor to print Liu Ruyu's name.

He read the names of two officers in a row, and they were the commanders of the second and third battalions of the infantry respectively, but their ranks have been demoted to senior colonels, and their ranks will also be Dingyuan and Huaiyuan generals from the third rank.

Qin Botong was a little disappointed in his heart, he had already guessed that he might not be able to get the rank of general, and he estimated that his official position would be two ranks lower than Chang Yanling's, but he didn't understand why this was the case, but he still didn't fully admit the reality, Still listening to Liu Ruyu reading the roster seriously.

"Confer the rank of Colonel Qin Botong, the official salutes to General Guangwei, and takes charge of the command and envoy of the supply battalion!"

As soon as Liu Ruyu finished reading, Qin Botong felt like a thunderbolt on his head, and couldn't help but smiled wryly. Not only was he not on the same level as Chang Yanling, he was not even on the same level as Fu Haiaoboi, and he was even higher than the other two. The military cadets who didn't perform very well were half a grade lower, just a colonel!
 I checked the information again, and the range of the flintlock gun is indeed not that good, so I will change it immediately.
