Chapter 13 Rewards based on merit
"Captain Shen will lead the vanguard camp for the time being. After reporting to the emperor, he will be rewarded according to his merits." They did not enter the city just for show. They caught the enemy by surprise. The main combat force was in the military camp. Who knew that Nan Qing would use the same trick on them? They are all old foxes.

This time when he entered the military tent, the layout was still the same as last time, but it was obvious that everyone was much kinder to him. Shen Qingzhou had thought that since he had succeeded in killing the general this time, there would definitely be no punishment, but rather a credit. However, he did not expect that he would be directly promoted to the highest commander of the Cannon Fodder Battalion.

Although rewards will be given based on merit in the future, under normal circumstances, temporary receipt is basically a reward based on merit in advance.

Today we defeated the enemy's cavalry, which is much more useful than killing thousands of their soldiers. It costs a lot to train a cavalryman.

The results of this battle are more useful than the last one. It can be said that the loss of such a team of a thousand people is a loss for many tribes on the grassland, and they are very likely to retreat early.

"Report, a great victory at the border." There is another war report from Kyoto. In fact, the officials in the court may not care about this. Although it is a war, it happens once a year and they have become accustomed to it.

However, the border guards still have to ask for credit, which is a sign of respect for His Majesty. Of course, only the results of the battle should be written down. Shen Qingzhou's merits will not be heard directly by the emperor, but many people are paying attention to him.

"Joining the army has had a huge impact on this boy's growth. He is like a fish in water on the battlefield." Fan Jian found Chen Pingping.

"If you feel a sense of crisis, you can ask the Tiger Guards to test it out." Chen Pingping still smiled. Although Shen Qingzhou was out of his control, he was just a private.

"It's ridiculous! How could they put their own soldiers in such a situation? I thought he wouldn't survive on the battlefield. Now that he's alive, it all depends on his luck." Fan Jian said.

He didn't kill them all, not because he was kind just because he belonged to the protagonist Fan Xian's camp, but simply because he didn't want to interfere.

The only way was to send the Tiger Guards directly into the military camp, but that would be a provocation to the military and the Kingdom of Qing. However, he also knew that he had an extra enemy in the military.

However, he had never seen Shen Qingzhou in person and did not know his current combat capability. After all, reaching the fifth rank was considered a small achievement in martial arts. The other party was born with supernatural powers, but that was all he could do.

The opponent's general was at the peak of the fifth rank. Shen Qingzhou had already done the limit of what he could do. Without true qi, there was no future. This was an iron rule. Shen Qingzhou, who broke the rules, had not grown up yet, and no one thought of him in that direction.

In fact, it is just everyone's misunderstanding of the battlefield. On the battlefield, let alone a fifth-grade, even an eighth-grade warrior would be killed if he was trapped in it. The battlefield and the martial arts world are two different concepts. The battlefield is surrounded by enemies, and you can't escape if you are trapped in it.

Many people thought that Shen Qingzhou cooperated with the army to kill the enemy, after all, not many people saw it with their own eyes.

royal palace.

"Haha, you are worthy of being my son, Qingzhou. Your aunt wishes you good luck in military affairs." The queen raised the wine glass and pointed to the west, where Dingzhou was located.

She had never expected that her junior could actually become a mid-level officer in a place like the cannon fodder camp, and even reach the top.

She has already received the news that her younger generation is only one step away from becoming a general. In other words, the border army is also a good place to accumulate military merits.

Their younger generations have become officers and no longer have to be in the front row, so the casualty rate has dropped significantly. It can be said that if they were a little more despicable and stayed in the barracks, it would be unlikely for Chen Pingping and Fan Jian to kill Shen Qingzhou without taking action themselves, unless they are willing to pay the price.

She took out the information that Shen Qingzhou brought back this time.

"Everything is fine. I'm just worried about you, my elders." There was no signature or title. This was how the Queen and Shen Qingzhou communicated. They were used to it.

"Qingzhou, be careful."

……

At this moment, Shen Qingzhou looked at the stack of silver bills in front of him. After a careful look, he found that there were more than ten thousand taels. This was not a reward, but was brought to him by the Queen.

He was a little confused. Didn't the queen give all her salary to him? Although in movies and TV shows, anyone can come up with 10,000 taels of silver, it is not a small amount for any single individual. He estimated that the queen's annual salary was only about 1,000 taels of silver. Of course, apart from rewards, there was no place to spend money. The palace took care of it.

Of course, it is impossible to say that all the nobles in the palace live on annual allowances. Cats have their own ways, but the queen may not have much.

Her mother's family was massacred, which meant that all the people outside the palace who provided her with money were gone. She lived in the harem all the time, so she certainly could not form a clique for personal gain. In terms of money, she might not be able to compare with the concubines whose families were outside the palace.

As for the old capital, of course there was some, and quite a bit, but it was definitely given to the prince. The prince had much more expenses than her, and he only had this little salary in hand. He wouldn't have given it all to himself, right? I'm grateful.

Now that he had money, he started by making a better weapon. After experiencing several battlefields, he found a weapon that was quite suitable for him.

"Double hammers, of course they can be customized." He came to the blacksmith shop in the military camp and started making weapons.

That’s right, it’s the hammer, and it’s also a weapon that can bring out his strength. Killing people with a knife is too slow for him now, and he is not afraid of the attacks of ordinary soldiers. The hammer is shorter, but it can bring out his advantages.

Time passed quickly and the hammers were soon made. They were a pair of eight-edged silver hammers weighing 160 kilograms.

The hammer is made of black iron. Even though black iron itself is heavy, the hammer looks a bit scary because of the increase in weight.

However, this horror is for ordinary people. To Shen Qingzhou, none of his weapons are as big as the one Li Yuanba uses in the TV series. It's just that people who use hammers on the battlefield usually use small hammers weighing a few pounds, so his own is a bit impractical.

But that was for others. He picked them up one in each hand and they fit perfectly in his hands. The old soldier in the blacksmith shop also looked at him strangely.

Many people can lift it, but on the battlefield, it is seeking death. It can only be said that it is incomprehensible to be born with supernatural powers.

Shen Qingzhou is also somewhat famous, and many people know that he is born with supernatural powers.

With the weapon, Shen Qingzhou also planned to practice hammering. He knew that he didn't have much talent, but he did have a way with hammering.

He already had mastered the basic boxing skills and was familiar with the moves and routines. He originally planned to use the hammer as an extension of his fist.

Don't say it.

[Hammer Technique: Level 0 (10/)]

He used skills directly, which was really unexpected. He also had his own martial arts. Before, he relied on his body on the battlefield, and war did not require any fancy moves, so it was enough. Now it's different.

……

On this day, the imperial court was rewarding people for their merits, and Shen Qingzhou also came. When he arrived at the big tent, he heard the voice of Shenhua.

"Appoint Shen Qingzhou as the Cloud Cavalry Captain."

We also know who this young man who is rewarded based on merit is. He is the son of Qin Ye, a member of the Qin family and the head of the military.
