Chapter 2443 2119. Award Ceremony
"This award of medals..." Wen Tianxiang smiled and said loudly: "There are a total of 1,085 awardees.
The Grand Marshal had eight, the commander of sixteen, the commander of thirty-six, the commander of one hundred and twenty-six, and the commander of eight hundred and ninety-nine.
Six hundred and twenty-three participants.
Next, I will read the list of the eight marshals to you, and there is no ranking."
"Wen Tianxiang, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Shi Kaiji, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Huang Hua, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Yue Peng, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Liu Hongyi, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Liu Zhuwen, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Zhang Jue, awarded the title of Grand Marshal."
"Zhong Jian, the Grand Marshal."
Among these eight people, the only one who is slightly unexpected is Zhong Jian, who is currently the deputy military commander of the official position.
Needless to say, Wen Tianxiang has the seven people in front, the other five are military marshals and veterans of the Song Dynasty.
Over the years, they have already had extremely high prestige in the army.
It is reasonable that they can award the Grand Marshal's merits and are expected to be the most popular.
As for Zhang Jue, he was also a tiger general of the Song Dynasty. Although he has retired now, no one can erase the great contributions he made to the Song Dynasty before his retirement.
He was originally called the two heroes of the Song Dynasty with Wen Tianxiang, and his prestige in the army was almost comparable to Wen Tianxiang. If he did not award the Grand Marshal's honor, it would be unreasonable.
Only Zhong Jian, who was from the imperial examination, was not very old and had very little qualifications in the military.
Although he was a member of the Ministry of War and later as the deputy military commander was remarkable, compared with the first seven people, this Grand Marshal's Honour is really a bit humid.
This matter has spread a long time ago, so there was no discussion in the lobby.
The emperor is trying to promote Zhong Jian and cultivate Zhong Jian’s prestige in the army! As for the reason why the emperor did this, most people cannot figure it out and dare not think about it carefully.
I only know that although the military machine Ling Wen Tianxiang has to retire for a few years, someone will eventually have to take over.
The ones who were most likely to succeed in the past were Yue Peng and Su Quandang.
Now Su Shuai is dead, but as for whether it would be Yue Shuai's take over as the military commander, it is hard to say.
Everyone in the court knows how Zhao Dongting values Zhong Jian.
First, the six divisions were tempered, and then the important tasks were directly given.
After several officials in the court, who else has such treatment?
However, it is well known that Zhong Jian has the ability. No matter which position he is in, he is remarkable. Everyone is convinced of this from the bottom of his heart.
All seven marshals except Wen Tianxiang came to the stage.
Zhao Dongting personally awarded the medal.
Bright red certificates of honor, golden marshal's medals, and the national protection medals symbolizing the highest honor of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Dongting personally handed these medals to Wen Tianxiang and others.
The dark blue marshal's costumes and the embellishments of these medals make people so majestic and solemn.
Then there were sixteen commanders.
Zhao Da, Wen Qi, Liu Zijun, Zheng Yihang, Ren Wei, Zhao Hu, Gao Xing and others have the status of the army, and their prestige is only the only ones in Yue Peng and others. They are the sixteen elders around Zhao Dongting on the list.
They are all the best among the general president and even the deputy commander.
Not every deputy commander has been awarded the title of commander, but there is no objection to this.
Their official ranks are indeed higher than those of Zhao Da and others, but they were able to become deputy commanders at the time because Zhao Da and others were all commanders and were inconvenient to easily transfer them.
It can be said that among the deputy commanders of various military regions, most of them have less military achievements than Zhao Da and others.
Of course, a veteran like Miao Cheng is now at the level of deputy commander as the marshal of the Tubo military region, but his military achievements among the deputy commander were quite outstanding, and he was also awarded the title of the commander.
Then there is the Grand Commander Xun, which includes the remaining generals at the general commander level and deputy commander level.
None of them are left out.
The names of the general commanders of the Tiangang Army and the Earth Demon Army are all on it, and there are also deputy commanders of each military region.
At this point, the list seems so compact.
There are many people who are actually qualified to be included, but only so many places can only start from the front.
And then at the level of vice president and general and those who performed very well in the level of the general were awarded the title of the Central Commander.
Most of the general level, as well as the following performances, are the young commander honors.
Each name can be said to be well-known in the army.
Every time a group of awards is awarded, thunderous applause will sound in the lobby.
After the award ceremony was completed and it would take more than two hours to come, the generals in the lobby were still excited and excited.
Even though I was a little dissatisfied with my medals before, I felt a sense of pride in my heart when I looked at the medals hanging on my chest.
This will become famous in history, and even after the death, your descendants will always be proud of themselves.
It brings glory to the ancestors and blessings to descendants, but that's all.
"I... are proud of you. You are all capable people and heroes of our Song Dynasty. It is because of you that the Song Dynasty is today.
But in my heart, I actually want to award medals to many people. They are all people who have made great contributions to our Song Dynasty. However, I have no such opportunity anymore."
Following Zhao Dongting's words, the lobby that was just lively just now suddenly became silent again.
Everyone knows who the emperor is talking about.
They are those who have sacrificed their lives for the Song Dynasty over the years.
The most well-known name is of course Su Quandang.
Names and faces appeared in my mind.
In the lobby, someone suddenly showed shame.
Chapter completed!
