Chapter 24: Massive expansion!

"Sir, your current military achievements..." Fu Liang glanced at the military merit list. "Theoretically it can only be expanded to two hundred and twenty-one people."

"So few?" Shen Zhui frowned.

"Your Excellency, you don't know something." Fu Liang said. "According to the rules of military merit, between zero and one thousand, they are first-class sergeants, ordinary soldiers. They are usually acquired seventh-level to ninth-level warriors, which is also the basic requirement for Wu'an Army to recruit people."

One thousand to ten thousand are second-class sergeants, who can serve as corps commanders. However, it must be done by acquired peak warriors. Of course, there are also innate warriors.

Ten thousand to one hundred thousand is the third level. It must be in the innate realm and can serve as a team leader.

One hundred thousand to one million, that's the commander level.

The first three, even if their military merit is not enough, can be appointed by their superiors and promoted exceptionally.

But the commander-level, even the captain, has no right to promote. It must be reported to the Tianxin Palace and confirmed by Marquis Wu'an. If the military achievements are sufficient and the combat power meets the conditions, then he can become the leader.

Because the commander is the official position of the military attache and is authorized to be appointed, no one can overstep it except the Marquis of Wu'an.

As for the school captain, Marquis Wu'an must also report to the imperial court and ask for a central decree before he can be appointed.

To be a captain, the emperor must personally issue an imperial edict. Marquis Wu'an is only qualified to be awarded the title and does not have the right to directly appoint.

"My lord's military merit is 16,900 points. Normally, I can only have 169 soldiers under my command and receive a fixed share every month. But my lord also brought us with him on this trip, because the five of us also received We have received military merit, so your Excellency will receive an additional 20% of the military merit from the five of us."

Fu Liang cupped his hands towards Zixuan and said, "Thanks to brother Zixuan for their great contribution, there are only two hundred and twenty-one people under your command."

It turned out to be like this, Shen Zhui knew it in his heart.

Fu Liang continued to explain, "These two hundred and twenty-one people can be regarded as the 'regular' army under your command. The monthly resource rations and the soldiers' pensions are all distributed by Tianxin Palace. In other words, even after the First World War, your Majesty Due to the shortage of staff, these two hundred and twenty-one resources will also be distributed to adults."

"For example, now, if we don't count the people we brought back this time, although my team of 72 only has 82 people, Tianxin Temple will still issue quotas based on the theoretical number of adults."

"Of course, the rations for the eighty-two people must be distributed in full, but how to distribute the rest is entirely up to your discretion. However, the gap period for this personnel cannot exceed three months. Because every three months, Tianxin Palace It will be automatically calculated once. If there are more, we will not care, but if the number of people under your command is still less than 221, the Heart Palace will only distribute resource rations based on the actual number of people that day."

Shen Zhui frowned and said, "What about the more than two hundred people I brought back?"

Fu Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. Soldiers who are beyond the establishment should enjoy the same benefits. If they die in battle, Tianxin Palace will also provide pensions. However, resource rations will not be issued. It is up to you to be responsible for their cultivation resources." That’s all.”

Shen Zhui wondered, "What's the difference between the two?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Fu Liang said. "Soldiers in this organization, if their accumulated military merits and cultivation meet the requirements of a higher level, if they do not meet the original level, they can apply for the corresponding reward from above. If they cannot reach it, once they officially join the army, sir His subordinates, then without your consent, he will always have to obey your orders. At the same time, every time he obtains military merits and trophies, part of them must be handed over to your Majesty. Usually, it is 20% of the military merits and 10% of the spoils."

"The extra people do not have this restriction. Unless they sign a divine contract, they can come and go freely. Of course, this only refers to before and after the war. Once on the battlefield, they will also be subject to military law and must obey the orders of adults."

Shen Zhui nodded. No wonder Yun Wu told him that it was up to him to recruit as many people as he wanted.

The existence of this supernumerary system must be due to the fear that one general will be incompetent and the entire army will be exhausted. That's why some soldiers were given the right to choose.

For example, a general only cares about his own development, sending soldiers to charge into battle every battle, and taking a lot of benefits for himself. Could such a general be a good leader?

The soldiers under the supernumerary system will not receive the resource rations issued by Tianxin Temple and can come and go freely. This also limits the unlimited expansion of a general and suppresses this competition within a healthy range.

Of course, the strong are always strong. For example, Baiyunfeng has so many innate realms. He is clearly qualified to be a team leader elsewhere, but he is willing to be a team leader here. This is the power of Yun Duo. For such a commander-in-chief, the more troops the better. But even without the supernumerary system, this is a universal truth.

"Fu Liang, you are the old captain of team 72. How many people do you think I should expand?" Shen Zhui decided to ask Fu Liang for his opinion.

"This..." Fu Liang muttered. "It depends on how much effort you are willing to put in."

Shen Zhui smiled slightly, "You can talk about it more seriously."

"If you aspire to be a leader, then the more the better. One hundred million can buy you a thousand acquired ninth-level warriors, enough to support them for a month, including the basic training and daily expenses of these warriors. There is even a little surplus."

"If it's the innate realm, it's hard to say." Fu Liang shook his head. "Usually, for the price of a hundred acquired ninth-level warriors, one innate-level warrior can be recruited, but in fact, innate-level warriors not only consider money, but also the future prospects."

"For example, I, Baiyun Peak, have many innate realms. I would rather not have the few cultivation resources, or even spend money to trust connections, but have to put in the effort to get in."

"But for some unknown commanders, even if they are solicited with huge sums of money, for ten days and a half, no one may join."

"In other words, my reputation is still shallow, and I have no money to spend it on?" Shen Zhui sighed.

"That's the truth..." Fu Liang coughed lightly.

"However, my lord's performance in this battle is amazing. I can't guarantee how it will be elsewhere, but in my Baiyun Peak, it should be considered famous." Fu Liang said with a smile. "If your Excellency releases the news and offers a lot of money, I'm afraid there won't be many people coming to invest."

Shen Zhui nodded, "How many people did Team 72 originally have?"

Fu Liang said slightly sadly, "Seven hundred and sixty-four people!"

"How many of the original brothers are still in Baiyun Peak?"

Fu Liang's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "After my subordinate made a mistake, there were less than 400 people in the 72nd team, and about a hundred of them were new recruits. The old man who has been following me is about three hundred years old. After that, my subordinate stripped me The commander transferred more than two hundred people to supply the remaining teams."

"If I give you enough money, can you persuade them to come back?"

"Sir, what do you mean..." Fu Liang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Shen Zhui to make this suggestion.

Qian Jiang, Gao Ziqiu and Fu Bo were also slightly stunned.

"You don't have to think too much, it's just superficial, not testing you." Shen Zhui waved his hand. "Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't trust the people you doubt. Since I believe in you, I will believe it to the end."

In this regard, he learned a lot from his old boss Wei Wenhe. And he also believed that with his own strength, Fu Liang would not be able to miss the gap.

Fu Liang is a sensible person. It can be seen from the drumming meeting that he knows what he should do.

"My subordinates, do it immediately!" Fu Liang's voice was trembling. Reuniting Team 72 was something he had been thinking about day and night since his failure. He didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly.

Watching Fu Liang take out his identity token and go out to contact the old deployment, Shen Zhui looked at Gao Ziqiu again, "Ziqiu, when you return to Baiyun Peak, you will immediately collect information on each peak to see which innate realms are most likely to win over. Target Set at the innate middle level, and going up, the more the better.”

"Yes, I will take your orders." Gao Ziqiu also exited the cabin excitedly.

"Fu Bo, Qian Jiang. Your mission is to reach the Xiantian Realm in Baiyun Peak. However, you two must pay attention to communicating with each team beforehand. Business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. Even if it has no effect, don't offend anyone. , but to build a good relationship.”

Shen Zhui chuckled and said, "If it doesn't work out today, maybe it will be different tomorrow. This is the foundation of our relationship."

"I understand." Fu Bo and Qian Jiang also ran out in a hurry.

Zixuan had been quietly listening to Shen Zhui's orders. When the four of them had left the cabin, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Shen Zhui, what are your intentions in recruiting troops so aggressively? Do you want to unite with the people from Baiyun Peak to fight another Sihaimen battle?"

Shen Zhui glanced at Zixuan, a little surprised by the young man's exquisite mind. However, he did not answer directly, but shook his head mysteriously. "Can't say, can't say~"

"Humph, it's mysterious. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. If you don't want to say it, I'm not happy to listen to your chatter!" Zixuan curled her lips, moved her body, turned her back to Shen Zhui, and closed her eyes to practice.

Shen Zhui also closed his eyes and concentrated, lost in thought.

He and Zixuan had plundered more than 3 billion in loot, plus 4.6 billion from the profit share of military merit, and 2 billion donated by Lin Ze, and now he has a net worth of nearly 10 billion!

Money is just a dead thing if you don't use it. How to quickly turn these things into your own hard power is the top priority.

He had already inquired that Li Chengfeng was a peak martial artist in the Lingqiao Realm, and he was a titled captain. This was not the end of the story. By late April, he would officially become a captain, and he would also be a titled captain!

what does that mean?

This means that even if Li Chengfeng has not yet achieved supernatural power, he definitely has the strength to achieve it! This means that even if Li Chengfeng is not in the army now, he will definitely return in April!

In just two months, no matter how talented Shen Zhui is, it is absolutely impossible for him to develop a magical power in just two months!

He has no ability to fight against Li Chengfeng!

But military merit is different!

With one hundred thousand military merits and a combat power reaching the Lingqiao realm, one can become a leader!

If Li Chengfeng becomes a captain, then it will be a piece of cake to recruit him as a small captain. Not even Baiyunfeng can stop him!

But if it is a commander, it is completely different!

The commander is a seventh-grade military attache. Officials officially ennobled by the imperial court are not chess pieces that can be discarded at will!

Any peak that loses a leader will be severely injured. It is a huge event.

Baiyunfeng will definitely not sit idly by and watch!

"Lingqiao level combat power is not difficult, but it is quite difficult to accumulate 100,000 military merits in the past two months." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

It should be noted that in the battle at Sihaimen, he killed many innate realms, and even participated in the killing of a real person in the Lingqiao realm, but his military merits were only more than 10,000. Although Fu Liang and other five people jointly contributed part of the military merits, Let him reach 20,000, but this kind of war is something that can only be met but not sought.

It seems simple. Fighting this kind of war four or five times is enough.

But how many commanders and lieutenants are there in the entire Wanfeng City? I'm afraid it's more than tens of thousands!

But according to his experience in the slave camp, there is such a war only every seven days!

It sounds common, but it can be divided equally among all parties, and the number of times is considered to be very small.

From collecting intelligence, to confirming the location of the barrier where the sect is hiding in another space, to deploying all parties, nothing is easy.

Lin Ze still has news about the sect, but in the short term, it is obvious that there will not be a second battle to destroy the sect.

"If I can't participate in this kind of battle within a month, then I will have no choice but to take the risk and go to the 'Blood Demon Battlefield'..." Shen Zhui thought.

There are actually many ways to gain military merit, but this Blood Demon battlefield is an extremely dangerous place.

There are not only people from the sects of the Jiuyou Mountains, but also many great monsters, barbarians, and dangerous places.

Even the Spirit Bridge Realm can easily perish in it.

After the innate peak has passed, if there are few people, it will be difficult to even protect oneself.

However, relatively speaking, the risks are high and the rewards are also high. If you can survive on the Blood Demon battlefield, it is still very possible to accumulate the remaining 80,000 military merits.

"I hope we don't have to go to this point." Shen Zhui sighed slightly. Whether he was using the life-saving bag left to him by the county magistrate or going to the Blood Demon battlefield, it meant that his situation was extremely dangerous.

"It's so good, why are you sighing?"

Shen Zhui was stunned, looked at the young man who turned around, and shook his head, "Nothing."

"Is everything okay? Shen Zhui, I always feel like you have something on your mind. You seem to be tensing up for certain things or people. If this continues, it's not good."

Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows, Zixuan's intuition was simply astonishing. From showing amazing treasure-hunting abilities in the Four Seas Sect to now guessing his own thoughts, what is the origin of this young man...?

"It's true that I have some troubles, so don't mention it." Shen Zhui touched his nose. "Zixuan, is there anything you want?"

Whether it was the profits from military exploits or the spoils of war, the other party should share half of it. He really should ask the young man what he needed.

"No need." Zixuan shook her head. "I am only interested in making money, not spending money. Besides, you can't afford what I really want."

"Real or false..." Shen Zhui said suspiciously. "You don't even care about billions? You are a superior innate, and this money is probably enough for you to break through to the Spiritual Bridge Realm."

"I don't want to break through so early."

"Why?"

"Where do you get so many? Why, Shen Zhui, you are very long-winded..."

"..." Shen Zhui was speechless for a moment.
