Chapter 31 Rewards, withdrawal of troops
Zhang Quan indeed kept his promise. Less than ten days after giving him benefits, Liu Zheng was promoted to the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the 702nd Standard.
The battalion was hit by a stray bullet and died, and the second battalion suffered heavy losses. With Zhang Quan's operation, Liu Zheng led his team to rebuild the second battalion.
Half a month later, the Song army organized a full-line attack on the Iron Eagle Man's position, which was regarded as a counterattack of the previous large-scale attack by the Iron Eagle Man.
The 702nd Batch King Jin personally led the guards to supervise the battle, but unfortunately, a round of artillery shot down on their heads, and more than a dozen shell bombs in the King Jin's body hung on the spot.
Liu Zheng led the Second Battalion to successfully break through the Iron Eagle Man's position, opening a breakthrough for the army, so that a built-in division of the Iron Eagle Man was crippled, and the Song army seized the position, and he made great contributions.
With Zhang Quan's re-operation and this contribution, Liu Zheng was promoted to the 702nd Prize and entered the ranks of intermediate officers.

"Biaotong, we have caught a priest!"
A surprise sound came from outside the command post, and soon a few soldiers arrived with a tied iron eagle man with red hair and yellow eyes.
""The Red Armor kept cursing, and even though the soldiers behind him were slammed by the guns, he still kept scolding him.
"Ha, you all know this kind of thing. Even if you want to interrogate, you can't find anything. You're very hard."
Liu Zheng turned around and looked at the iron eagle man who was beaten to the point of being bruised and swollen and covered in blood. He smacked his lips and said.
The officers in the command post nodded and agreed very much.
The Iron Eagle Empire is a country where the powers and kings coexist. Their kingdom believes in gods, and the authority of the church can even influence the crowning of the emperor.
Especially these priests who went on the expedition with the army were the hardest bones among the captured soldiers in the local area.
"Okay, pull it down, peel it, open the hole, chop off the head and put it on the pole."
Liu Zheng waved his hand and said happily.
At first, he was very willing to do this kind of thing, which not only vents anger, but also leads to emotions.
But now, as the one-target system in charge of more than a thousand people, he loses his share of doing this.
"Okay! Look!"
Several soldiers were ready to take the captured unlucky ghost away with a grin.
"It seems that the brothers are very resentful."
Chen Zhuang was wearing a brand new military uniform and wearing officer white gloves on his hands, and Yu Liuzheng said.
As the saying goes, the water rises and the ship rises, Liu Zheng is promoted to an official position, so he naturally cannot forget his old subordinates.
The second battalion was vacant and Liu Zheng asked Wu Wenkang to replace him. Chen Zhuang was transferred to be his chief of staff. Other trustworthy brothers also had their own positions and were promoted.
He understood what Chen Zhuang said, and immediately whispered: "It's been more than two years, more than two years. If you continue, it's another year. Not only us, but other brothers are the same, and their spirits have dissipated."
Hundreds of thousands of troops fought in foreign lands. This is not a life, but a stay in trenches every day, either building fortifications or fighting against the enemy. There is not even a decent residence, and anyone will feel resentment.
After Liu Zheng became the Biaotong, he was no longer a low-level officer who simply led the team to charge. He learned more and more. In the entire 26th Association alone, hundreds of people have committed suicide by swallowing guns and even shot at the robes with red eyes.
"Sir, are the ones above here coming?"
After looking outside the command post, Chen Zhuang leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Liu Zheng's eyes and he replied, "Here, I've come yesterday, wait, I guess there will be news soon."
"That's really great."
Chen Zhuang was very excited. This kind of life was finally over.
"Yes, that's great"
Liu Zheng also sighed, but this was not what he felt.
Zhang Quan helped him operate twice before, and it was already considered a "transaction", but Liu Zheng did not want to stop there. He met his uncle, the chief army of the Western Expedition Army through Zhang Quan.
It was another process of offering treasures, and he was promoted, just wait for peace of mind.
When the war is over, what will he do if he survives and returns to the Song Dynasty? He had thought about this question before he was summoned by the infinite reincarnation land.
All the ideas were limited to his previous shortage of money, and now he naturally could not let it go if he had the opportunity!
···
A few days later, the soldiers on the front line found that the Iron Eagle Man opposite had no movement. After touching him, a few brave enough to find that the position was empty. The Iron Eagle Man had quietly left at some point.
Before they could tell everyone the good news, the Song army received an order to disarmament and withdraw its troops!
This suddenly seemed like a hornet's nest. The soldiers were talking and talking endlessly. Many people were still clamoring for injustice. After fighting for almost three years, withdrawing troops is a good thing. What do you think of disarmament?
However, before things could go a long way, the imperial envoy from the capital appeared with the generals of the Western Expedition Army.
The imperial envoy announced that he would reward the soldiers of the army with the order to show the achievements of the soldiers in fighting for the country. Whether those who were laid off or not, they would have made merits and rewards.
In this way, the soldiers were comforted and the soldiers of the army began to receive rewards.
Originally, there were only more than 100,000 people going to the front line battlefield, but later, there was not enough troops, so I recruited them from all over the country. If I didn’t recruit enough, I caught the strong men and gathered hundreds of thousands of people.
Including Liu Zheng's 39th Town, they all belong to the later army, and they were tempered and formed at a huge price in the war.
Now that the war has been completed, the expenses of maintaining such a large army are naturally unaffordable for the court, so we have to disarmament!
Of course, the one who was laid off could not be the "good family" army that first expeditioned the West, but the troops that were later formed by "strong men", "prisoners" and "beggars".
In order to appease these people, the court has invested a lot of money. No matter what crimes he committed before, as long as he survives now, he will be exempted from punishment and will be paid a lot of disarmament expenses. Those who have made meritorious rewards will be rewarded.
These people put down their weapons, changed into military uniforms, and sat on the army leading to the Song Dynasty. They were the first to withdraw.
The remaining troops will obey the arrangements.
"Liu Zheng, the commander of the 26th Biaobiao in the Thirty-Nine Towns, was properly commanded and led his troops to defeat the barbarians. He made great achievements. He was promoted to the 26th Assistant General, and returned to the court with the army and headed to Haizhou to become a town."
The things given to the chief military officers played a role. After such a letter of publication, the officers under Liu Zheng's command immediately made the bleak officers who were sad and smiled as if they were clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.
Although the 39th town was laid off, the 26th town was retained and reorganized as an independent town, which was considered a mixed-building system.
In this way, even if the officers and soldiers at the Twenty-sixth Bill can eat food and pay, even if they don’t fight, this is a great thing for many soldiers.
Chapter completed!
