Chapter 620
Princess Ni Huang, Mu Qing, and the others were all greatly surprised!
They never expected.
Jia Hui had actually received so many rewards!
Although he was not promoted in rank again.
But the quantity was large!
First, Deputy Regional Commander, this was a real position!
This was a resident military official title, usually held by Dukes, Marquises, and Earls as Regional Commanders, Deputy Regional Commanders, etc., without a grade, because the former's title itself was Supra-Rank.
And generally held by military officials as Regional Commanders and Deputy Regional Commanders, it was discussed based on the military official's honorary rank; a Regional Commander with a seal was second grade, and a Deputy Regional Commander with a seal was associate second grade.
Although Jia Hui was an Earl, he was also a Regional Commander with a seal.
Although there was a "Deputy" character.
However, in reality.
There was no relationship of superiority or inferiority between the two, both could lead a regular army, being the highest military official in the locality!
In Great Gan, there were even individual phenomena where Regional Commanders did not hold troops, and Deputy Regional Commanders took charge of local military and political affairs, because some local military forces were rotten and loose, mostly vulnerable, so there was no actual military power in non-wartime, and in wartime, they were the highest nominal military officials in the locality, and actual military power was generally held by the Deputy Regional Commander appointed by the court.
To enable the Deputy Regional Commander of the region to exert authority, they would generally be granted titles such as Imperial Envoy, second-grade General seal, etc.
And specific troops, compared to Jia Hui's previous third-grade Assistant Regional Commander, specifically had three to five thousand troops in a regular state, and a maximum of ten thousand in wartime.
And because there was no fixed number for Deputy Regional Commander, there was no specific number mentioned.
Theoretically, they commanded around ten thousand troops in regular circumstances.
But this was also a temporary military position.
When assigned to a locality, they could command over a hundred thousand!
A typical high-level general, it could even be said to be a top-level general!
Compared to a second-grade Regional Commander, there was no difference.
Added to Jia Hui's status as the Earl of Wushuang, ordinary military Regional Commanders had to obediently give up management rights when they saw him!
Under his command, there were several Assistant Regional Commanders he could command.
Therefore, Jia Hui directly commanded troops of about ten thousand scale.
And could command even more troops!
It could be said.
The gold content of this Deputy Regional Commander was the highest among the above rewards!
It had a very high improvement for Jia Hui's authority and power in the military.
"I previously guarded the South for my younger brother for ten years, commanding troops for ten years, and the Emperor's official position was only Deputy Regional Commander! The Marquis of Wushuang rose up in less than half a year!"
Princess Ni Huang thought.
Then she secretly thought: "General of Pacifying the Army and my General of Pacifying the Army, although both are second-grade Generals, they are still much better."
Deputy Regional Commander was a specific position.
And General of Pacifying the Army and others were real positions in dynasties like Han, and now in Great Gan, they were equivalent to military ranks or honorary titles.
Currently in Great Gan, first-grade General and Grand Marshal were Three Excellencies-level Generals!
Second-grade Cavalry General, Chariot General, Guard General (the above were Three Excellencies-level Generals)
General of Pacifying the Army, General of the Central Army, General of the Upper Army, General of Pacifying the Army, General of the State, General of the Southern Central Army (the above were second-grade Generals)
General of Conquering the East, General of Conquering the South, General of Conquering the West, General of Conquering the North (those with seniority in the four conquests were all Generals. The above were four conquest Generals)
General of Pacifying the East, General of Pacifying the South, General of Pacifying the West, General of Pacifying the North (the above were four pacification Generals)
Third-grade Central Commander (those with seniority were Commander Generals. The above were Imperial Guards)
Below there were also four peace Generals, four pacification Generals, third-grade miscellaneous Generals, etc.
The previous Earl nobles like Niu Jizong were only third-grade miscellaneous Generals.
And Jia Hui's General of Pacifying the Army belonged to the most top-tier kind among second-grade Generals, much stronger than Princess Ni Huang's General of Pacifying the Army.
One step further would be Cavalry General, Chariot General, Guard General, these Three Excellencies-level Generals!
It could be said.
Jia Hui was now only one step away from the Three Excellencies and Grand Marshal level.
Of course.
This one step away was actually as difficult as ascending to heaven for many officials!
Many people would be stuck at one grade for a lifetime.
But Jia Hui was so young.
No one believed that Jia Hui would stop here.
After decades of grinding, he would eventually reach it!
Moreover, no one believed.
Jia Hui's ability would need to rely on grinding seniority to rise!
It could be said.
With Deputy Regional Commander and General of Pacifying the Army!
Jia Hui had already won big!
Princess Ni Huang felt inferior.
However.
This was not the end!
The first two were military positions and military honorary ranks.
Later, Jia Hui was also additionally granted Crown Prince's Tutor!
You have to know that Grand Tutor, Grand Master, and Grand Guardian were collectively called the Three Excellencies.
Also established were Junior Master, Junior Tutor, and Junior Guardian, collectively called the Three Solitaries, as deputies to the Three Excellencies.
Junior meant deputy, they were special official positions second only to the Excellencies and higher than the Ministers.
The above Three Excellencies and Three Solitaries were collectively called Master Guardians.
The latter were collectively called the Three Juniors of the Donggong.
Crown Prince's Master, Crown Prince's Tutor, and Crown Prince's Guardian were all official positions of the Donggong, all responsible for teaching the Crown Prince.
Among them, the Crown Prince's Tutor was mainly responsible for teaching martial arts.
After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Six Tutors of the Crown Prince were already famous in name but different in position, only serving as honorary titles for bestowed official ranks, approximately equivalent to current military ranks, not real positions.
Generally used as an honorary official title granted to important ministers and close ministers.
A few days ago, Xu Lingyi returned after making contributions.
He was granted Crown Prince's Master.
Now Jia Hui's Crown Prince's Tutor was of the same grade.
However, Jia Hui also had a second-grade General-level General of Pacifying the Army, so in reality, his status was clearly higher than Xu Lingyi's!
"What is Jia Hui's situation now?"
"How many identities does he have!"
Princess Ni Huang didn't know until she counted, and she was shocked when she did! 【428】 The power-admiring Princess Ni Huang, sends a gift to Yang Huan
"Title, First-Rank Marquis of Wushuang and First-Rank Cloud Cavalry Lieutenant!"
"Civil and military honorary ranks, second-grade General-level General of Pacifying the Army, associate second-grade Crown Prince's Tutor!"
"Civil and military real positions, associate second-grade Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War! Associate second-grade Deputy Regional Commander, regular third-grade Commissioner of the Five Cities Military Horse Division!"
This title, honorary rank, and real position.
Each was close to the top tier, and the number of titles was outrageous!
In formal occasions.
Just introducing them would take half a day!
Just the introductions alone would take half a day—!
