Youngest General in Fei Yang Kingdom
Youngest General in Fei Yang Kingdom
And with this, there were already two people among the younger generation who had reached the rank of general.
And Long Qian Xing was the youngest.
He's only 20 years old since it would take a few more weeks for him to turn 21. Yet, he had reached the rank that many people might never be able to reach in their entire life.
Nan Luo's mouth was agape. "Is his nobility rank has risen so high?"
Their nobility rank could indeed be passed to one of their children for these commanders. However, their children would only have one rank lower and it would only apply when the person in question died.
In other words, everyone started from commoner.
But with this increase in nobility title, Nan Luo knew that Long Qian Xing would have high nobility ranking. And that was excluding the fact that he might have already achieved more nobility increase in the past because of his achievement in the military aside from what he knew.
Long Qian Xing stepped forward calmly and arrived before Emperor Yang Zhou. He knelt on the ground with one knee.
"Keep up the good work," Emperor Yang Zhou said in a low tone.
"I will." Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile as he received the scroll given from Emperor Yang Zhou.
Looking at the smile on Long Qian Xing's lips, Emperor Yang Zhou smiled lightly too. For them, this ceremony was nothing more than a farce because the two of them were close to each other. He knew that Long Qian Xing was not satisfied with just this.
His goal was to become like his grandfather and become the great general of Fei Yang Kingdom.
Right now, he had finally become a general but becoming a general was only the first step.
After receiving the reward, Long Qian Xing went back to his position. The others around him congratulated him for a while before things settled down.
General Long looked at his son and snorted, yet there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
Now that Long Qian Xing had become a general, there might be some difference in their titles.
It couldn't be that the two of them were called as General Long, could they?
That would be strange.
He would talk with Long Qian Xing to discuss about the title that would be suitable for Long Qian Xing.
Oh wait, the Emperor was going to announce the revival of the Great General systems, which meant that his title would be Great General Long.
Thinking that he could finally use his father's title, General Long felt somewhat apprehensive.
Old Master Nan sat on his seat, looking at Long Qian Xing and sighed deeply. While there were not many people in Long Family, the existence of Long Qian Xing alone was enough to tell them that Long Family will not fall easily.
Each generation in Long Family was very accomplished.
"At the same time, the Great General System will be implemented. For the time being, General Long and General Wei will be both permanently promoted to become Great General. Alongside Great General Nan, the three of them will have the freedom and responsibility that come as Great General."
Old Master Nan narrowed.
Great General system was somewhat simple yet complicated. It was the idea that was started by Emperor Huan because Fei Yang Kingdom was getting wider and vast. It would be hard for communication between the frontline and the Capital City.
While Emperor Huan himself also participated in some battles, he definitely couldn't be at several frontlines all at once.
If the decision to move or not were to fall in his hand completely, it would be very difficult.
Thus, he made his three old friends as great generals.
First of all, it was not just a title that easily misused because it represented the great trust that Emperor Huan placed on them. Secondly, this title allowed them to wage war and made their own decision at the frontline.
They were allowed to make appropriate decision while considering Fei Yang Kingdom as a whole.
Only those who were truly capable should be allowed to wield this title.
So far, General Wei and General Long were both the people Emperor Yang Zhou was willing to trust. The two of them were loyal to Fei Yang Kingdom and at the very least, they would not do anything that will harm the kingdom.
General Long stepped forward and knelt in front of the Emperor. "I'll not disappoint Your Majesty's wishes."
"I trust you, Great General Long." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at General Long and nodded.
The ceremony was simple.
It was even more so because General Wei was not here at this moment. There will be an Imperial Edict sent to him later on to inform him about this matter.
After a few more words from the minister, the reward ceremony was done. Aside from the generals who performed spectacularly, everyone was talking about the two new generals and also the revival of Great General's system.
Yu Jin being named a general was not exactly a surprise.
A lot of people had already speculated this when they saw her leading army that have more number than ordinary generals.
The revival of Great General's system was something that had been discussed for some time. This time, they finally heard the final conclusion that there will three Great Generals in Fei Yang Kingdom once more.
But with Great General Nan already so old, would it be time for them to find replacement soon?
This was what they were thinking.
But it might be for later in the future.
What surprised them the most was Long Qian Xing as they didn't expect this young man to truly be named a general. With his young age and many other capable people, it was indeed a big achievement.
