Daqin Engineering Corps

"Thunder God can split the frozen river, but what can the Mother of Lightning do?"

"That's wrong. Without Mother Lightning's help, how could Lei Gong open the frozen river alone?"

Everyone said "oh" in a half-understandable way.

People in this era do not understand some natural phenomena, so they use myths to explain them.

For example, thunder and lightning in the sky can be interpreted as the quarrel between Thunder God and Lightning Mother.

So the meaning of "helping each other" is that a slap can't be slapped. If there is no Mother of Lightning to make Lei Gong angry, how can a thunderbolt strike down...

Then passed on to a few more people, and it became that Dianmu intentionally provoked Lei Gong to be angry, and various plots were interspersed from beginning to end.

Shen Bing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard these rumors.

However, Shen Bing didn't bother to explain, and these things were often described in black and white, and the explanation could not be explained clearly.

The city wall was not repaired until five days later, and then the engineering soldiers organized the dredging of the city and the construction of houses... This is to ensure normal life in the future, and naturally it cannot be saved.

At this moment, Jian Yushi came with bamboo slips.

Unlike usual, he congratulated Shen Bing first, and then spread out the bamboo slips and read:

"The stingy man sinks the army, and he has meritorious service in attacking the girders and flooding the Chu army with water, and he will be promoted to a noble official!"

The soldiers around cast envious eyes.

Shen Bing didn't know what it meant to be an official official, so he didn't feel much about it, but others knew: If it is said that a five-rank doctor is Yuyuelongmen who gave a high-ranking status, then an official official can be said to be a senior official. A real nobility.

As the saying goes, "doctors and above eat towns, and scholars eat fields".

Starting from the sixth-level noble official, you can have the same "food town" as other nobles.

The so-called "food town" is also "fiefdom".

If it is the "food city" of the other six countries, the power will be greater: all the resources and people in the fief are yours, and in principle you can do whatever you want, including people, which is equivalent to a small feudal lord.

However, the system of prefectures and counties adopted by the Qin State is different from that of the other six countries.

The system of prefectures and counties weakened the power of the "employees" to a large extent and protected the interests of the common people.

For example, Shen Bing was promoted to the sixth-level noble and had seven hectares of land. In the Qin State, he did not have the right to control and manage the people in these seven hectares of land. The people still belong to the country.

The power Shen Bing had was to collect taxes and food from the people in the seven hectares of land according to the law.

When Jian Yushi put away the bamboo slips, he confessed again:

"Official officer, General Yang asked you to go and discuss something important!"

Shen Bing responded, and walked towards Yang Duanhe's mansion with a few personal guards.

The reason for bringing personal guards is not to say that Shen Bing is timid, but that this place was the territory of Wei State not long ago. Then... that would be a big deal.

Shen Bing didn't want to end the game in such a baffling manner, so he usually brought his personal guards with him when he traveled.

At this time, Yang Duanhe's handsome mansion has been moved from the edge of the city to the county government.

This is to better handle the beam affairs.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Yang Duanhe's guards were busy sorting out various documents in the warehouse... The most important thing after the war is to check the household registration of the people so that they can be managed.

From this point of view, being a general in charge of one's own is really not an easy task.

At least Shen Bing couldn't do it. If Shen Bing was asked to do it, it would be better to kill him.

Seeing Shen Bing coming in, Yang Duanhe put down what he was doing and greeted him, and said with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations to the stingy man for being promoted to a noble official."

Shen Bing hurriedly said a few words of humility, for example, it was the general who led well, and it was the king who was wise enough to make Shen Bing what he is today.

Yang Duanhe just smiled and replied:

"At this time, there is a position that needs to be taken over by a miser. I don't know that the miser..."

Shen Bing looked around, and he also said that Yang Duanhe asked him to take over the county magistrate.

He can't do this!

Chapter 156 Soldier Selection

Yang Duanhe couldn't help laughing "haha" when he heard it, and replied:

"How could the old man let the stingy man be the county lieutenant?"

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be an overkill to embalm heavenly objects?"

Shen Bing asked suspiciously:

"The general's implication is..."

Yang Duanhe explained:

"After the First World War, Your Majesty thought that our army lacked a navy, so he ordered us to form a navy."

"The stingy man once trained soldiers to build pontoon bridges in Handan, so he seems to know how to swim."

"So the old man wants you to form the navy. I don't know what the stingy man wants?"

This was confessed by Ying Zheng, and there was no need for Shen Bing to know what he meant.

Shen Bing suddenly became nervous, is this to let him train and lead troops?

This is not a good thing!

Don't say I can't, even if I can, I will go to the front line in the future...

Just when he was about to say no, he thought about it and sighed secretly.

I have always hoped to have my own power, and there is an opportunity in front of me.

Because if you want to be powerful, you must lead troops to the battlefield.

Although taking engineers to the battlefield is also going to the battlefield, but there is still a difference between engineers and regular troops.

If it goes on like this, what if you work in the engineering army for a lifetime?

So what if he can continue to be promoted?

There is still no power in his hand.

As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if you want to gain a foothold in this world, you will have to face this moment one day.

Thinking of Shen Bing, he cupped his hands at Yang Duanhe and said:

"Subordinates follow the general's orders."

Yang Duanhe nodded with satisfaction:

"So good."

"From now on, you will be the Captain of the Navy."

"There are as many as 20 prisoners in the Wei army. You can choose them at will, and you can report here when the time comes."

Shen Bing couldn't help being stunned:

"General, what do you mean... this navy was selected from the captives of the Wei army?"

Yang Duan said "Oh":

"Didn't the old man just say that?"

"Oh, the old man lost his memory when he was old."

……

There was a black line on Shen Bing's face:

You old thief obviously forgot on purpose, okay?

You set up this trick because you were afraid that I would not agree, okay?

But now that he had agreed, Shen Bing couldn't change his words, so he had to bite the bullet and back down.

The guards around Ren will definitely not give up, especially Yu.

Just kidding, what Shen Bing has to face is a group of Wei soldiers, but he, Shen Bing, is the "mastermind" who offered to flood the girders and destroy the Wei state. If they had a chance, wouldn't they tear Shen Bing alive?

But... Isn't it not enough to rely on just a few people?

Thinking of this Shen Bing, he walked up and down in the camp and dared not move.

It wasn't until Yang Duanhe sent someone to urge that he had to go with a few personal guards.

However, along the way, he was still trembling with anxiety, thinking that he would not know how to subdue these Wei soldiers in the future.

However, the facts are not as Shen Bing thought...

As soon as the carriage drove into the valley, there were ragged and unkempt Wei army prisoners kneeling neatly on both sides.

As soon as Shen Bing got off the carriage, they heard them shout:

"Subordinates, I have seen my benefactor!"

Shen Bing froze in place for a moment.

That's right?

How could I be their benefactor?

At this time, Wei Wei stepped forward to bow to Shen Bing and said:

"Wei Xi sees the captain!"

"The subordinates brought 20 surrendered troops to welcome the captain."

"Ask the lieutenant to order troops!"

Seeing Wei Xun and Shen Bing, he guessed what was going on. It should have reminded Wei Xing that a few words had worked.

In fact, Shen Bing really didn't think it was a kind of "graciousness".

But since Wei Bing regards it as "graciousness"...then the relationship is good, Shen Bing also acquiesced.

At least he acquiesced in front of all the Wei soldiers.

In private, when Shen Bing and Wei Xi talked about this matter, Shen Bing was quite ashamed:

"General Wei, I just reminded you a few words, how can He De bear such a great favor?"

But Wei Wei didn't think so.

"The captain's words are wrong."

"Although the captain did say a few words, these few words allowed my 20 Wei soldiers to survive."

"There are even hundreds of thousands of family members."

"In addition, the captain flooded the Chu army and made my Daliang escape..."

"Such a great kindness, how dare the subordinates not remember it?"

After being said by Wei Xing, Shen Bing felt that it was really the case, so he felt a little bit elated again.

It's just that the water hits the beam...

Perhaps because he knew that Shen Bing had such concerns, Wei Xi continued:

"The captain doesn't have to worry about the water attack on Daliang."

"It's time for you and me to be the odd masters, and it's not the captain's fault to attack Daliang with water."

"What's more, the king of Wei is so unkind, the people of Daliang are not as good as dogs, but now it is a blessing in disguise."

Shen Bing was relieved after hearing this.

This is indeed the case in this era, and it is really impossible to sort out whether there is hatred or not on the battlefield.

Or, part of the reason why Wei Jun's captives and even Wei Xie turned into a positive mental state so quickly was that they knew the general trend and had to do so.

Otherwise... Who dared to rebel and didn't cut off his family members together?

Or, isn't being incorporated into the navy an opportunity to escape the prison of the mountain col?
