Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

Then the sergeants of Daqin began to cook the corn around the bonfire. Although there was little water in the desert, the sergeants could fight only if they had enough to eat, so Li Xin and Zhang Han were very concerned about the location of the water source.

If the trace of the water source is lost in the desert for a long time, it is basically no different from waiting for death.

Fortunately, Loulan now belongs to Daqin, and Daqin's iron cavalry can transport water resources to and from Loulan. In addition, there are occasional underground rivers in this desert.

With Zhao Tuo's previous method, the Daqin army discovered several dark rivers along the way. Although there was not much water, it was still enough to supply 100,000 troops and war horses.

The food in the Daqin army is still mainly corn, as for the milled rice, only the sergeants who have reached the hairpin and above are eligible to enjoy it. Daqin still encourages the sergeants to make contributions on the battlefield.

Among them, the military lords of Da Qin are divided into 20 grades, which are:

Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin, Buchang, Dafu, Official Dafu, Gongdafu, Gongcheng, Wufu, Zuo Shu Chang, Right 19 Shu Chang, Zuo Geng, Middle Geng, Right Geng, Shaoliang Zao, Daliang Zao Si Cha Shu Chang, Da Shu Chang, Guan Nei Hou, Che Hou.

All Daqin sergeants, as long as they capture an enemy on the battlefield, can obtain the first-class title of 'Kongshi', and when they become a sergeant, they can own an hectare of land, a house, and even a servant.

As for the promotion of rank, it still depends on the number of enemies killed. The more enemies you kill, the more military merit you will get. Once the military merit reaches the threshold of the next rank, it will be awarded by the military officer. A higher rank of sergeant.

In addition, the military merits of Da Qin can also be used in other places, such as releasing relatives who are prisoners, exempting corvée, converting slaves and so on.

In addition, every time a battle is won, the sergeant and the general who leads the army will also be rewarded for military merit.

In the army led by Li Xin and Zhang Han, most of the sergeants were still ordinary sergeants or public sergeants.

Only the core armies of the Guanzhong Army and other armies have many titles. This is also because these armies have fought the most times, and they are the most elite troops in Daqin.

However, the driving of a Daqin chariot requires at least a rank of nobility. In the Daqin army, everything is dominated by military nobility.

In addition, the military rank can also be passed on to his sons to keep the family safe. It is precisely because of this that there are so many people who enlist in the army. Otherwise, I am afraid that most of the people in Daqin will choose to farm in the countryside. After all, it is basically impossible to What would be life-threatening.

The laws before Daqin required that one person in each household must join the army, otherwise he would be stabbed in the face and pretended to be the leader of Guizhou. However, after Zhao Tuo became the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, this rule was changed, and it was changed to join the army according to the number in the village. .

In this way, it gives a way of life for those families who are only the old, weak and sick. After all, if some families without children are recruited, only the elderly can join the army.

In addition, Zhao Tuo also changed the Fu Ji who enlisted in the army, that is, the age of enlistment to eighteen years old. In Zhao Tuo's view, these teenage youths can wait until they become adults before enlisting in the army.

Although he would not go to the battlefield immediately after enlisting in the army, it was still a bit too heavy for a teenager to be a soldier.

Li Xin and Zhang Han were patrolling the army.

After noticing that some people fell on the sand dunes, the two people immediately called these people up.

"This gravel is so hot after a day's exposure to the sun, and it is still lying on it, and it is impossible to get sick!

After these sergeants were called up, they did not dare to fall down, they dug up the gravel honestly, and then sat in the cool gravel.

Soon, the fragrance of corn spread in the Daqin army.

In the evening in the desert, there was no wind around, and the smoke from the kitchen was rushing straight towards the sky. The blood-like sunset in the distance was already close to the horizon. The clouds were bright and beautiful. Many sergeants couldn’t help but think of themselves when they saw this scene. the village.

However, the cooking smoke in the village is different from the cooking smoke in this desert.

Once the smoke from the cooking in the village rises, it flutters and dissipates in the air soon. However, the smoke from the desert is straight, until it reaches the place where everyone can see it with their heads raised, and then it slowly disappears. dissipate.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Han and Li Xin also stopped. For some reason, they always felt that this scene was a little tragic, but Da Qin never needed to be tragic.

When the sun was about to go down, the sergeant in the army who was in charge of making rice finally came up with corn and other utensils.

Everyone sat on the spot honestly, even the newly recruited sergeant. Li Xin nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. It seemed that Zhang Han's training on the fort was not limited to horseback.

At night, there was a wind between heaven and earth, and the heat was quickly blown away, and only the ground still showed some warmth.

It was late at night, except for the patrolling sergeants, most people fell asleep, and a few people looked at the clear night sky of the desert and couldn't help but admire.

Above the night sky, the moon of the sixteenth moon is like a jade plate, and the scattered light illuminates the entire desert and the sergeant's dreamland. The beauty of the stars is amazing.
