Chapter 2 Haotian Continent(1/2)
Seeing Wei Qiwu's expression changed drastically, Chen Ze felt no emotion at all.
He is not from here.
To be precise, he is not from this world.
Chen Ze, a native of Shuilan Star, comes from a military family. When he was two or three years old, he sat in his grandfather's arms and played sandbox deduction games. Growing up, he was interested in everything related to the military.
However, Aquamarine Star has already entered a peaceful era, and Chen Ze often laments that he was not born at the right time and could not fight as hard-blooded as his father's generation.
But despite this, joining the military is still Chen Ze's only unchanging persistence.
He joined the army at the age of seventeen and passed the military academy at the age of eighteen. His goal is to become the Grand Marshal of the Empire like his grandfather!
However, just when Chen Ze's future was bright, fate played another big joke on him.
He has traveled through time.
Just ten days ago, Chen Ze woke up and found that he was no longer on Aqua Blue Star, but had traveled to Haotian Continent, a different world similar to the ancient Aqua Blue Star.
Although the Haotian Continent is only one continent, its area is twice as large as that of Aquablue Star, and it is not as densely populated with countries as large and small as Aquablue Star. Here, the entire continent is only occupied by four major empires.
controlled.
Qingyang in the east, Bailie in the north, Zhuyan in the south, and Xuanjia in the west. Each of these four empires has a large amount of resources, strong soldiers and horses, and strong strength.
The place that Chen Ze traveled to was the Anluo Province under the Qingyang Empire. At this time, his identity was that of a young follower of the Wei family in Bo'an City. Coincidentally, he was also called Chen Ze.
In the past few days, Chen Ze carefully concealed his identity as a time traveler, and at the same time, he was rapidly absorbing everything about this world. At this time, he had gradually gained insights.
The four great empires in the southeast, northwest and northwest are equally powerful and have great ambitions to unify the continent and dominate the world. Therefore, wars have been raging on the Haotian Continent for many years, and the fighting is in full swing.
Because of this, there are two types of people who are the most respected in Haotian Continent, and whom the four major empires are deliberately cultivating.
One type is a peerless general who is extremely powerful in terms of force and can defeat a thousand warriors.
One kind is an all-powerful adviser who has a thousand tricks and can kill the enemy invisible.
In order to encourage their people to fight on the battlefield, the four empires even established generous reward mechanisms.
Just like that Mr. Yang.
In his early years, he also passed the assessment of the Military Aircraft Department of the Qingyang Empire in Bo'an City, and was promoted to the third-class counselor based on military merit. Since then, he can receive a monthly salary of 150 taels of silver from the Military Aircraft Department, regardless of the
Whether he participates in the war again, this salary will follow him for the rest of his life until he dies of old age.
In addition, the third-class counselor can recruit up to fifteen disciples. For each disciple recruited, the Military Aircraft Department will give an additional five taels of silver per month as a subsidy.
You know, in Haotian Continent, five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to have food and clothing for a month. If you save some, you can even save some money.
This shows that the empire rewards military talents generously.
Counselor is the lowest rank among counselors. There are nine ranks from one to nine. The first rank is the lowest and the ninth rank is the highest. The monthly silver reward for a first-class counselor is fifty silver, and the number of disciples he can recruit is five.
By the time he was a ninth-level counselor, he could get as much as 450 taels of silver per month, and the number of disciples had soared to 45, making him a small force.
Of course, to be promoted to the rank of ninth-class counselor requires a lot of military merit, and there are many people like Mr. Yang who are just waiting to die in a low-level military rank.
Above the counselors are the counselors, and in order, there are the assistant leaders, counselors, supervisors, generals, and even the highest level of national advisor. There are seven levels in total. In addition to the national advisor, each level has nine levels.
Military rank promotion is entirely determined by military merit. In addition to issuing corresponding rewards, the Military Aircraft Department will also release various war missions for people to take. As long as they are completed, you will be able to obtain combat merit that matches the difficulty of the task. The Military Aircraft Department will then determine the level of military merit according to each mission.
The accumulated combat merits of the individual are used to upgrade the level.
Each of the four empires provides two paths for advancement for their subjects.
Those who are outstanding in intelligence but weak in force can take the path of counselors, and those who are excellent in force and good at fighting can also develop in the direction of generals.
The lowest rank of a general is called a commander, and the number of soldiers he can command is equivalent to that of advisers. A first-class commander can only recruit five people.
From the captain to the next, he is the tooth general, the partial general, the captain, the governor, the commander-in-chief, and the general.
The military ranks of generals correspond to those of counselors, and they are also nine ranks except for generals.
The Military Aircraft Department's rewards for generals are no different from those for counselors, but their roles on the battlefield are quite different.
Indispensable for marching and fighting is a leading general with superior force. A powerful general with charisma will play a great role in the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire team.
No soldier is willing to go to the battlefield with a weak scholar who has no strength. If he is, he is kidding with his own life.
At this point, military commanders have an unparalleled advantage over advisers.
But the adviser is not useless.
In fact, the final outcome of a battle often depends on the adviser.
Although most of the hot-blooded men in the iron-blooded battlefield don't like these weak and cunning guys who can only hide in a dark corner and watch with cold eyes, it is undeniable that every army is indispensable for counselors and assistants.
No advisers to advise?
No adviser to see the overall situation?
It is impossible to win a tough battle with just a moment of bravery and personal force!
If an army is compared to a giant, the soldiers are the body of the giant, the generals are the heart, and the counselors are the brains. All three are indispensable!
In this world, a peerless military commander is often surrounded by a group of people who advise him, and a cunning and demonic adviser is also surrounded by many generals who are willing to go through life and death for him.
Military generals charge into battle, and advisers make plans. In this world, as long as you have one of these talents, you can be admired by all people, and you can get money, status, reputation, etc. at your fingertips!
This is the information about the world that Chen Ze has collected silently in the past few days.
After experiencing the initial confusion when traveling through time and being certain that he would not be able to go back for the time being, he quickly accepted this reality.
Even a little excited.
Haotian Continent, this world, isn't it where he has always regretted it?
Iron-blooded battlefield, where the heart desires!
Since God has allowed him to travel to this war-torn world, instead of feeling sorry for himself, he might as well accept it and use what he has learned in the first half of his life to build great achievements here!
Here, in Haotian Continent, Chen Ze wants to imitate his grandfather and become a peerless general that everyone respects!
This is the goal he set for himself after he recognized the reality.
What gave him the confidence to set such a goal was not only his rich military knowledge, but also the sudden addition of strange objects in his mind.
From the moment he traveled through time, Chen Ze found a silver-white star floating in his mind. After several days of trying, he finally understood the role of the silver-white star.
And this is his biggest reason to stand up and expose Mr. Yang’s true face!
His eyes returned to reality.
"You...how did you know?"
When Wei Qiwu was told by Chen Ze, his expression changed drastically. At the same time, he subconsciously covered his chest with his right hand. At the same time, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
"So, your guess is correct?"
Chen Ze was not interested in explaining his speculation to him, and just smiled lightly.
Wei Qiwu was silent.
Yes, just as Chen Ze thought, he spent all the strength of the Wei family to come to Senhu Town to purchase purple-scaled fish. It was just a pretense, and the real purpose was for a treasure.
Half a month ago, the Wei family arranged for Fei Ge, a confidant in Senhu Town, to report that a fisherman salvaged a heart-protecting mirror that was neither gold nor jade while fishing. It looked very similar to the heart-protecting mirror of a famous general a hundred years ago.
Qikong Mirror.
When the famous general charged into battle, this invulnerable Qikong Mirror saved him countless times. It is truly a rare treasure.
Later, as the famous general retired to seclusion, the whereabouts of Qikong Mirror were also unknown, but at that time there was indeed news that the place where the famous general retired was near Nasenhu Town!
Although the Wei family was not involved in the military, Wei Qiwu keenly sensed business opportunities.
If that piece of breast-protecting mirror is really a Qikong mirror, not to mention the fame and blessing of the legendary famous general, its invulnerability alone is enough to make people excited.
If you can prove your identity and buy it back, there will be many famous nobles willing to pay a high price for it.
When the time comes to hold an auction, it will not be a problem to increase its value several times or even dozens of times.
Therefore, while Wei Qiwu asked his confidants to stabilize the fisherman and block the news, he also led the people to Senhu Town in a hurry.
After all, God was kind to him. That breast-protecting mirror was really the Qikong Mirror!
Wei Qiwu then ordered a large amount of purple-scaled fish to be purchased, and used this as a pretense to transport the Qikong Mirror back to Bo'an City. However, he saw an announcement from the government.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with waiting for a few days, and he didn't feel bad if all the purple-scaled fish were destroyed. But after all, he was carrying a heavy treasure. Wei Qiwu wanted to go back quickly, but he didn't want to be ambushed on the Heluo Ancient Road.
Although Mr. Yang was not the only one who knew about the purchase of the Qikong Mirror, the other doubts mentioned by Chen Ze pointed to this person. Suddenly, Wei Qiwu looked at Mr. Yang with even more suspicion.
"Master, please don't believe this kid's nonsense!"
When Mr. Yang saw it, he immediately shouted anxiously: "I have been in the Wei family for more than ten years and have already regarded the Wei family as my own. The Wei family is my relatives, how can I be a spy who is worried about ghosts?"
Wei Qiwu was about to speak when suddenly from the bushes in the distance, a frightened scream came from far away and very close.
"Master, it's not good!"
"He...he, he, they are coming in!"
Everyone in the Wei family, including Chen Ze, looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was the follower Wei Qiwu sent to verify Chen Ze's words.
At this time, he was rolling around, running towards the crowd with a look of horror on his face.
