Normally, the commandant didn't need to meet a soldier just because of a good report.
But who cares? As for the specifics, they would know once they entered.
Lin Yi walked into the Middle Army tent just as Qin Hu left.
"Greetings, commandant."
"No need."
Lin Yi looked up and saw a man in his forties sitting on the table. He was wearing black armor.
This was the first time Lin Yi had seen such black armor, and this armor represented its grade.
In the military camp, all positions below the rank of commandant were ordinary military positions.
However, a commandant was already an eighth rank military officer with a salary and military power.
"Lin Yi, did you write that report?”
The commandant finally raised his head and glanced at Lin Yi.
"Yes."
"Well written. You are better at handling things than Qin Hu. In the future, the documents, reports, and letters of the 3rd Battalion will be handed over to you.”
The commandant was afraid that Lin Yi didn't understand, so he said directly,"Especially when it comes to good news. When we submit it to the higher authorities, we have to submit the original copy that you sent."
”
With just this sentence, Lin Yi understood why that idiot Qin Hu was still a centurion after seven years.
The commandant had already made it very clear.
The original copy of every victory of the 3rd Battalion would be submitted to the higher-ups. The news of victory would eventually be reported to the General, who would then report it to the Imperial Court.
Qin Hu's report was written like dog shit, and the higher-ups were extremely arrogant. Such a good report would embarrass the commandant's men.
Moreover, the higher-ups only mentioned the soldiers and did not praise the commandant's achievements. How could the commandant feel good?
As a commandant, he also needed a good reputation.
Therefore, Lin Yi's victory report was to the commandant's liking, and he was directly rewarded with a warhorse and a large jar of wine.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi already knew.
"I understand. I wish the commandant a steady promotion. I know how to write this good news in the future.”
"Good, good, good!"
"You're a smart man." The commandant clapped his hands and laughed.
"Go to the registrar and get twenty taels of silver. It's a special reward for you. I heard that it was you who led the soldiers to take down the dam this time. Not bad!”
"You're a talent, I can't bury you. Be a commander first, and you'll be promoted in the future. Your 3rd Battalion has beheaded 42 enemies this time, and each head will be rewarded with two taels of silver.”
"Yes."
"Alright, I have work to do. You can go out now.”
Lin Yi went to the registrar's place and took out a pile of white silver. It was especially dazzling under the sunlight.
"Brothers from the 3rd Battalion, where did you get so much silver?”
"After this battle, the commandant will count the heads and give us the reward.”
Lin Yi said.
"Let me ask you one more time. Since your 3rd Battalion has already paid, is our 2nd Battalion going to pay as well?”
"Who knows? You guys continue to wait.”
After Lin Yi left, the people of the Second Battalion discussed softly,"Strange, why did the Third Battalion receive the silver earlier than our Second Battalion?
”
"I even ate horse meat yesterday. I'm afraid the 3rd Battalion is going to have a change!”
Lin Yi handed the money to Qin Hu. After distributing the rewards, Qin Hu also announced the news that Lin Yi had become the chief.
Generally speaking, if a new recruit worked for more than half a year and performed well, he would be promoted to a sergeant.
However, to be promoted to a sergeant, one had to be a veteran with more than two or three years of experience. However, Lin Yi was good. He directly skipped the rank of sergeant and became a sergeant, managing 10 people at a time.
However, there were only 55 people left in the entire Third Battalion. Lin Yi was only a commander in name, so he could only manage the five of them.
"Brother, I knew you weren't a mortal!" Qin Hu said.
”
"We don't have enough manpower now. We can only wait for the new recruits to be replenished. Then, we'll allocate a team for you to make up 10 people.”
Lin Yi nodded. When he returned to the 7th rank, he had a short knife hanging on his waist that symbolized his status.
And this short knife represented his identity as a commander.
"Greetings, Chief Shi!"
Lin Yi helped San Niu, Er Jia and the others up.
”
Qi Dazhu also stood up to greet him. With Lin Yi around, his position as a sergeant was basically nonexistent.
"Brother Dazhu, how's your injury?”
"Aiya, it's really long. Your medicine is too magical. The swelling has subsided by half today, and it doesn't hurt anymore. I can feel the itch in the wound.”
"Yes, if you feel that your wound is itchy, it means that you're gaining weight. You'll be able to get up in about four days.”
"This…isn't this too fast?" Qi Dazhu was shocked.
"Hurry up and recuperate. I'll teach you a formation. It'll be much easier to fight in the future."
”
"Yes, sir!"
The 3rd Battalion had obtained 27 pieces of armor this time. Lin Yi had already been promoted to the rank of a ten-year-old, so he naturally got one piece.
With this armor for self-defense, the chances of survival on the battlefield increased by quite a bit.
Lin Yi asked Qin Hu for a shield and two excellent machetes. After returning, he immediately changed Li Kui and Qi Dazhu's weapons.
"If the five of us want to survive on the battlefield, we have to work together. I have prepared a formation. During training time every day, you will practice with me.”
"Yes, Chief Shi."
Lin Yi suddenly wanted to rehearse the formation, which was also from the content of Han Xin's Training Methods.
There was an offensive and defensive formation inside, called the Five Extreme Formation.
The two shield machetemen were responsible for defense and counterattack. The archer in the middle was responsible for long-distance killing. The left spear man was left to break the enemy cavalry, and the right podao man was responsible for killing the enemy and protecting the archers.
The Five Extremes Formation could kill enemies, protect themselves, and even fight with many troops.
Since Lin Yi wanted to train his soldiers, he had to train a powerful army. Although this powerful army only had five people at the moment..."He still lacks a podao. Only the first battalion has a podao, and I just beat up the people of the first battalion this morning..." Thinking of this, Lin Yi had a headache...
