Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Bestowal of Rewards Arrives! Royal Edict from the King of Qin!

Upon hearing the call, Zhao Feng did not dwell on it. He slowly stood up and walked briskly out of the tent, feeling refreshed.

Outside the tent, Zhang Han was bowing respectfully. After the events of the previous day, Zhang Han and the four others had pledged their loyalty to Zhao Feng, establishing a much clearer hierarchy between master and servant.

”Did they say what it was about?” Zhao Feng asked with a wave of his hand.

”Capital Commandant,” Zhang Han said with excitement, ”it seems someone from Xianyang has arrived. It must be that your official reward is here.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared on Zhao Feng’s face.

”All of you, come with me,” Zhao Feng said.

With that, he led the Junhou toward the main camp area.

At that moment, inside the military camp, the one hundred thousand soldiers stationed there were assembled. On the Dianjiang Platform at the center of the army’s formation, Wang Jian stood imposingly in his Battle Armor, with Main General Wang Ben by his side.

”Where are the Sharp Warriors of Qin?” Wang Jian bellowed, drawing his sword.

”WIND! WIND! WIND!”

Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their weapons, their war cry echoing in all directions.

”BRAVO!” Wang Jian roared, then raised a hand to press down. The chorus of thousands of shouts gradually subsided.

”Today, we have gathered the army for a single purpose,” he announced. ”To bring all our Sharp Warriors a piece of good news.”

”Han has fallen! The King of Han has been captured by our Qin! The path for Qin’s eastern expansion has been opened! The Great King has decreed that our Lantian Camp is to return to its home garrison!” Wang Jian announced loudly.

Hearing this news, the entire army erupted into a frenzy once more.

”WIND! WIND! WIND!”

”Ten thousand years to Qin! Ten thousand years to the Great King!”

The war cries, mixed with shouts of ”Ten thousand years to Qin,” continued unabated, the army’s might shaking the heavens. For every Sharp Warrior, and for the entire nation of Qin, this was undoubtedly a moment worthy of celebration.

”On this momentous occasion, the Great King has decreed that rewards shall be bestowed upon those with merit. We shall now have the Royal Envoy read the Royal Edict!” Wang Jian announced loudly, turning to the side.

In response, a figure slowly ascended the Dianjiang Platform. He was dressed in the official robes of a Qin Civil Servant, wearing no armor. It was Meng Yi of the Meng Family, who, like the Wang Family, were of noble military lineage. But unlike the Wang Family, the Mengs had two sons. The elder, Meng Tian, was a Main General commanding the Northern Frontier. The younger, Meng Yi, served at Court as a Civil Servant.

Perhaps this was a sign of the Meng Family’s wisdom. With one son in the military and one in civil affairs, they could ensure the lasting prosperity of their house.

”A Royal Edict from the Great King!” Meng Yi announced as he stepped forward on the Dianjiang Platform, holding the edict in his hands.

At his call, every Sharp Warrior on the training grounds bowed deeply. ”Your subjects humbly await the Great King’s Royal Edict!”

”The Edict of the King of Qin! Six months ago, the Lantian army of our Qin marched to war. Its Sharp Warriors fought with courageous valor, broke the enemy’s gates, and succeeded in the annihilation of Han, achieving a great victory.

”All Sharp Warriors who marched from Lantian contributed indispensably to this success. All who have merit shall be rewarded.

”The Sharp Warriors of the main camp, who guarded the borders against other nations, have earned the merit of defense. Upon their return to the main camp, they shall be rewarded with a feast of meat and wine and granted three days of leave to recuperate.

”The Sharp Warriors who marched on the offensive campaign shall be rewarded according to their merits with promotions in rank and title.

”Sharp Warriors who were wounded or disabled while fighting for the state shall be cared for by the local government offices, which will also provide for their families.

”Qin shall not be ungenerous to any man of merit, be he soldier or official.

”For the Sharp Warriors who fell in battle for the state, their families shall receive three times their Annual Salary. Their families shall also be placed under the care of the local government offices.

”By this grace, we honor our soldiers! The state shall not forget the contributions of its generals and men!”
