Chapter 4 Rank Reform
"Zhao Yun, the commander of the Weichen Praetorian Guard, is now twenty years old and commands 80,000 Praetorian Guards. Zhao Yun replied.
"Zilong has worked hard, when I was still the prince, you saved my life. ”
"It was Zilong's duty to protect the safety of the imperial city, and it was Zilong's fault that His Majesty was frightened at that time. ”
"Zilong doesn't have to blame himself, back then, you guarded me and fought to the death with the enemy, killing seven in and seven out, I have a glimpse of your demeanor. ”
"Your Majesty, Zilong is terrified. ”
"Generals, what do you think of our country's military rank system?"
"Your Majesty refers to this?" Zhang Liao stood up and asked.
"To put it simply, what is the morale of the soldiers of each army, what is the combat effectiveness, and how is the cooperation between the various armies?"
"Your Majesty, now in Xinhan, there are no large-scale wars, but the surrounding countries harass the border from time to time. It doesn't hurt either. Li Guang replied.
"Dare to ask the old general, what are you saying is that there is no war in Xinhan now, but what if there is a war in a year or half a year?"
"This is the last general's lack of thought. ”
"It's not your fault, the entire Eternal Continent has been stable for almost ten years, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Eternal Continent will fall into war. "This is like ancient times, which dynasty and which generation, not all of them must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. Stability is relative, and interests are eternal. Where there are interests, there will be disputes, and where there are disputes, war will inevitably break out.
"Your Majesty, according to you, war is about to break out in the Eternal Continent, but the morale of our soldiers is generally low, and some of them can't even hold their guns steadily. ”
"It is said that we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, but what about our soldiers, this is called passable, and it is a day to live a day, and such a soldier is to give his head to the battlefield to die. It doesn't matter if he gives his own life, the key is that there are tens of millions of Li people behind him, and it is said that he is defending the country, I am afraid that by that time, these people will become enemies of the country. ”
"Your Majesty's anger is due to the incompetence of your ministers and their failure to share your Majesty's worries. The generals immediately fell to their knees and shouted.
"I'm fine, I just have to take care of the ancestors' inheritance for all generations, the ancestors' inheritance can't be destroyed in my hands, and besides, nearly 10 million people in the Xinhan Kingdom rely on us to protect them, so I decided to implement the reform of the army and military ranks. ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to change the army and rank?" Huang Zhong stood up and asked Liu Fei. Hearing Huang Zhong ask the question that everyone wanted to know, everyone looked at Liu Fei one after another, and they all wanted to know how the army and military ranks proposed by His Majesty the Emperor would be restructured.
"First of all, I want to set up eight army corps, each of the generals will lead one, and they will guard the eight directions in peacetime, and they will become the main combat force in wartime. Secondly, the promotion system of the army is too rotten, and the promotion of military ranks is not awarded according to the number of military merits, but according to the wishes of the family, which seriously restricts the development of the army, so I want to abolish this outdated thinking, moreover, the current military ranks seem to be imperfect, generals and soldiers compete for merit from time to time, and there are loopholes in the management level, I want to create new military ranks to replace the old military ranks. Here's a copy of my draft ranks, and you'll see how. Liu Fei turned around and handed Huang Zhong a written book on several cases.
Huang Zhong hurriedly bowed down and took it with both hands, and the generals also approached. The first thing that caught their eyes was the military rank system of the Han Empire, and when the generals saw this, they all raised their heads to look at Liu Fei, their eyes were full of all kinds of strange colors, some were uneasy, some were excited, some were impulsive, but they were not afraid.
Looking at everyone's eyes and expressions, Liu Fei's heart was full of hope, in fact, Liu Fei deliberately named the country as the Han Empire, just to see if these generals who would follow him in the future are heroes or bears, sure enough, they did not let themselves down, although they saw a trace of uneasiness in their eyes, but they were not afraid, it is normal to be uneasy, only a superpower can be called an empire, and the current Xinhan State is just a small country in the lower middle range.
The cover was just swept over, no one bothered, kept looking down, when I saw that the military ranks were classified into: generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Zheng Yipin, Hussar General, from the first product, Auxiliary General, Zheng Erpin, Zhenjun General, from the second grade, Champion General, Zheng Sanpin, Huaihua General, Zheng Sanpin, Yunlu General, from the third grade, Guide General. From the third grade, the loyal general, the fourth grade, the strong military general, the fourth grade, the Xuanwei general, the fourth grade, the Mingwei general, the fourth grade, the Dingyuan general, the fifth grade, the Ning Yuan general, the fifth grade, the ranger general, the fifth grade, the guerrilla general, from the fifth grade, the Zhaowu lieutenant, the sixth grade, the Zhiguo lieutenant, the seventh grade, the Xuanjie captain, the eighth grade, the Renyong lieutenant, the ninth grade, the halberd chief, from the ninth grade, down to the ordinary soldiers. Originally, the generals thought that His Majesty the Emperor said that the army and military rank reform should be discussed with everyone how to reform, but I didn't expect His Majesty to have all sorted it out. There is also how to calculate military merit, how soldiers can upgrade their ranks, and the military expenses received by the corresponding ranks, etc. It can be said that all the system construction is included in it.
After reading it, Huang Zhong passed the book to the generals.
After all the generals finished reading it, Liu Fei asked: "Generals, how is this military rank system that I have drafted? Are you satisfied?" In fact, there is no need to ask more, it can be seen from the bright smiles on their faces that everyone is very much in favor of this system.
"Your Majesty, you are really a genius through the ages, the gods descended to earth, the military rank system written by Your Majesty can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, covering everything in the army, and the ministers admire it very much. Huang Zhong knelt on the ground and said respectfully to Liu Fei.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the most perfect military rank system that Lao Chen has ever seen. Li Jing also stood up and knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty is wise, and your ministers admire you. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. The generals fell to their knees and shouted.
"Since everyone thinks that the military rank system I have drafted is acceptable, then all the armies of Xinhan will be determined according to such ranks. ”
The ministers agreed. "The congregation will agree.
"Next, what the generals have to do is to remove the old, weak, sick and disabled from the army, pay them a settling-in allowance, and must not make the retired soldiers sad, they must maintain the vitality of the army. Only an army with a young contingent is the strongest in combat effectiveness. Then you have to secretly recruit troops and expand the army, I only ask for 100,000 troops per army, but it must be done in secret. ”
