The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and always replaces the new charm with the old one.

It's another year and New Year's Day.

Yuande four years, the first day of the winter and October, the age is in Xinmao.

The annual grand court meeting was held as scheduled.

This year's grand court meeting is even more special, because this year will be Liu Che's first national plan since he ascended the throne.

The dozens of counties and thousands of county governors of the Han Empire had to list their administrative achievements and taxes in the past three years to Chang'an.

Some people will leave gloomily and bid farewell to their careers, while others will be favored and promoted, and they will leap into the dragon gate.

Of course, this matter does not need Liu Che to have a headache for the time being.

The performance appraisal of the officials of the county and state of the world will continue throughout the winter, and will not end until summer and April.

At that time, whoever has done a good job in the past three years should be punished, and everything will be clear.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the main topic of today's great court meeting is to reward the meritorious generals in the battle of Mayi.

I didn't say that.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

In ancient China, wanted to keep the army fighting at bay?

The best way, of course, is to reward!

Even the civil officials of the Song and Ming dynasties knew that if the reward and military salary of the Eighth Master Qiu were shortened, they would mutiny to you in minutes.

And in the Qin and Han dynasties, why did the best men and the best talents in the world squeeze their heads out and squeeze into the army?

Isn't it that if you join the army, as long as you are not bad luck and return victorious, you can get a ticket, a house, a sister, and even land, a knighthood and honor?

Sima Fayun: The military reward does not exceed the month, and the people want to quickly get the benefits of good.

As early as the Spring and Autumn period. China's military aristocracy and rulers already knew.

I want my soldiers to fight for themselves.

Then be sure to reward it again.

And after the victory. Implement the reward immediately.

Let the house ticket girl and the land title really fall into the hands of the soldiers and officers of the army.

Such. The people will join the army enthusiastically, and the soldiers will be very brave in battle.

If you don't give it in time, or if it is too light.

Hehe......

Song Taizong is looking at you......

Therefore, after Liu Che waited for the completion of the routine court ceremony, he spoke first and said: "I have heard that merit will be rewarded, and if you pass it, you will be punished, and this holy act of the former king is also!" Battle of Mayi. Hussar general column, former general gallop, former general do not doubt and so on led the army to try to kill the enemy, there was the victory of Ma Yi, so that the shame of Emperor Pingcheng of Zhenxue Gao, the merit is in the community, its order has a division, and the name of the meritorious soldier is reported, and it has its military merits. Played in front of me, I should not hesitate to pay the marquis! ”

The imperial historian Chao made a mistake and went out to worship and said: "The minister is careful about the battle of Mayi, there are meritorious soldiers, one hundred and forty-five people." Respectfully presented to Your Majesty, please visit the Holy Majesty! ”

This records military exploits and summarizes meritorious soldiers. It is indeed the duty of the Imperial Doctor.

In this battle of Mayi, almost half of the military judges were attached to the army. They are all the imperial history of the imperial history of the Yamen.

At this time, the imperial history of China. It's not a clear stream of later generations, only a mouth cannon, and a waste without any actual ability.

Most of them can ride strong horses, drink strong wine, and are familiar with the military law system and military regulations.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Qing Dynasty of the Song and Ming dynasties, in front of the Qin and Han dynasties, there is no one who can fight!

In the Battle of Mayi, there were even examples of Yu Shi making military exploits and beheading the Hun cavalry.

And thanks to the large-scale production and popularization of white paper.

For the first time, the military judges of the Imperial Historian Yamen and the Shangshu Supervisors appointed by Liu Che were able to record the merits of all meritorious soldiers and officers in detail to the individual, and to summarize them to the individual and report them to the imperial court.

The 145 meritorious soldiers reported by Chao Cuo are only the 145 people who have made the most contributions in the army participating in the war.

Moreover, high-ranking officers above Sima are not included.

Because, according to Liu Che's improved new military law system.

The calculation of military merit between senior officers and middle- and low-ranking officers in the Han army adopts two different sets of standards.

Among the middle and low-ranking officers and non-commissioned officers, the past is still used, and military merits are calculated according to the number of military exploits and beheadings.

And the merits of the senior officers are calculated in a completely new way.

It includes the degree to which he executes the orders of his superiors, the degree to which he completes the tactical tasks assigned by his superiors, and the number of beheadings.

Personal heroism, unruliness, relying on his own bravery, he is a frizzy officer who does not listen to orders.

No matter how great the merit is, under this system, there will not be much military merit.

As for the generals, they completely departed from the old way of calculating military merits.

Their merits, achievements, and rewards will be publicly displayed in the court, and only after the ministers are publicized can they be evaluated and rewarded.

Liu Che read the list of 145 people submitted by Chao Cuo, and then said: "I have already seen what the Imperial Doctor has played, so I will reward all meritorious soldiers in accordance with the system stipulated by the military law, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"No!" Chao Cuo bowed down when he heard this.

The 145 people he reported were all middle- and low-ranking officers and non-commissioned officers with outstanding combat performance in the Han army.

According to the current military law system, these people are the heroes of the Han army who successfully broke through their own birth restrictions and ceilings in this battle of Mayi.

They will all enter the Wuyuan for three years of further study as Sima, receive military training and education, graduate after three years, and then go to the northern and southern armies for one year, and finally according to their performance, they will be assigned to field regiments or local counties.

Even the worst performers can end up earning a position as a county lieutenant.

The best of them, ten years later, may even be a county lieutenant sitting alone in a county or a lieutenant or lieutenant of a field army.

The future is expected to be feudal, and even Jiuqing is not impossible to look forward to.

This, in peacetime, is almost unimaginable.

It is only in war, through meritorious service and performance, that they can take this green road, carp leap into the dragon gate, and enter the sequence of the ruling class and aristocracy.

In addition to this, in terms of knighthood, wealth, and land rewards.

They will also reap a lot of benefits.

Even if you are at the bottom of the list, you can be among the Zuo Shu Chiefs who have entered the tenth level.

And the lucky ones in the top 10. even jumped into the sequence of feudal monarchs.

Earn the rank 18th rank of the Grand Lord.

The chief is already a top-level nobleman, and he is the entry threshold for the lords.

You can eat 300 or 600 households. You can raise a priest, you can have your own retainers. Household soldiers, you can legally own some weapons.

Of course, compared with the Marquis of Guan Nei and the Marquis of Liehou, they are just little brothers.

Moreover, titles cannot be hereditary and will be reduced from generation to generation.

In addition, if the future battle fails or suffers a loss, it will be very powerful.

During the Qin Dynasty, there were often soldiers. Since the cloth clothes, it has become the left chief and the big chief.

Then, in the next battle, the operational command made a mistake and was beaten back to its original shape.

But......

The Han family is different from Qin!

Especially today, special attention is paid to cultivating new military nobles.

Therefore, a martial arts garden was set up to train officers.

These people entered the martial arts and studied for three years. When they appear in front of the world again, who dares to say that they are not a qualified officer?

Like the time of the old Qin, a pawn was lucky, and he suddenly soared. Then, the possibility of being eliminated from the next war is already unlikely.

As for wealth or something......

It is only the number of rewards that the Shaofu is already listed. It's enough for these guys, and they won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Other than that. Each of them will also receive a corresponding land reward.

Those in the top 10 even directly own their own food places.

Although it seems. The Son of Heaven planned to assign them to the reclamation group on the Huaihua side.

But this is still the foundation that can support a future family of military generals.

As a result, their children and grandchildren will have access to good education and living conditions, as well as good training and growth opportunities.

As long as they do not commit stupidity and do not die, the future of these 145 middle and low-ranking officers and non-commissioned officers on the list will be completely changed from now on, to the future of their families, and to the future generations of their children.

They entered the class of 'scholars'.

It has become the object of encouragement in the New Year's edict of the Son of Heaven every year.

And the other meritorious soldiers and officers, although not as good as these one hundred and forty-five lucky ones.

However, the reward and the encouragement of the knighthood are enough to change their lives.

Many of the soldiers who participated in the war may have had nothing before the war.

But after this war, he has been able to let his family and wife live a well-off life and enter the middle class.

…………………………

Liu Che gently put aside the list of meritorious soldiers in his hand and handed it to Wang Dao, and then, he looked at Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and asked, "Prime Minister, has the list of meritorious soldiers been counted?" ”

Zhou Yafu immediately came out of the queue and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to read and inspect the siege list played by the hussars and former generals, and found that there was no omission, so it was played before Your Majesty!" ”

"Sima Qin Mu of the Southern Army, from the hussar general out of Wuzhou to attack the Hun Zhelan King, took the lead in the battle, beheaded the Hun Bone Marquis, won the first four hundred and eighty-three levels, and in the west of Mayi, gave birth to the Hun Aries King......" Zhou Yafu held a seal and read: "Sima Zhang Fu of the Northern Army, from the Hussar General out of Wuzhou, followed Qin Mu, fought with the Huns Zhilan Department, broke it, first gave birth to the Hun Bone Marquis, captured more than 100 ......"

"Zhang Feng, the captain of the Huben Guard, and Yang Kang, the captain of the Yulin Guard, went out of Wuzhou from the hussar general, lined up outside Wuzhou, and broke the Xiongnu Zhelan King Daxu in front of him, and then moved to the horse with the hussars, and beheaded the right Xian King of the Huns, and gave birth to several Hun bone marquis......"

Every time Zhou Yafu read a name, there was a Han army officer with his head held high, kneeling behind Zhou Yafu, they used the ancient Shili of the Zhuxia nation, bowed their heads, and said solemnly: "The last general Qin Mu (Zhang Fu), relying on the authority of His Majesty, the spirit of Sheji, fortunately not dishonored, although there is a small merit, I dare not be a hero!" ”

When Zhou Yafu finished reading the last name.

In the center of the main hall, thirteen meritorious senior officers had already knelt down.

Some of them are generals who are fighting in the front, leading their troops to perform well, and have repeatedly made meritorious contributions.

Some of them are civilian officials who do support work on the flanks, lead and command the young and strong people, and ensure the supply of the army in a timely and reliable manner.

There were even cavalry officers who went on expeditions of thousands of miles, went deep into the grassland, and eliminated Yin Zhixian's lair.

This is also the first beneficiary of the reform of the new method of calculating combat merits.

In the past, only generals who fought bravely on the front line could be glorious, profitable, and reap benefits.

And those who do support work in the rear and cover the flanks of the army can only get a little soup.

This, of course, is very unreasonable.

Generals and soldiers who fight head-on should certainly be rewarded.

But do the logistical work, flank cover, and containment of troops and officials deserve to be eaten and drunk?

In the long run, who wants to do logistics and cover tasks?

Moreover, it is not conducive to the stability of the army.

Liu Che looked at these people, stood up, and asked the ministers: "What do you think of the merits of the Sima Lieutenants in this hall?" ”

Although, Liu Che himself had already discussed with his confidants how to canonize and reward.

But it still has to be done.

Anyway, Liu Che now has a sycophant who is willing to be a trust for him.

Sure enough, the Shaofu Ling Liu She, who had already known Liu Che's thoughts, and the people of Wuyang Hou Fan City, as well as Fuyang Hou Chen Jia and Zhongshui Hou Lu Qing, jumped out almost at the same time and bowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others all think that Sima Xiaowei, in accordance with His Majesty's edict and the command of the general, fights to kill the enemy, assists with his heart, and has meritorious service. ”

In the Han family, the princes belonged to the Great Honglu in the register, recorded the names of the ancestors and the names of the main members of the family, and then reported to the Taimiao and told the ancestors that today, the Han Empire has another capable general.

Therefore, the meaning of Liu She and the others' words is very clear.

That is to be a marquis!

Suddenly, up and down the hall, there was silence.

Especially the thirteen officers, they only felt that their hearts were beating wildly.

O liehou!

This is a liege!

The pinnacle of the ministers, the highest point of the Han family's title system.

Once they are feuded, they can enjoy the feudal food, can legally support their retainers and soldiers, and have the priority to serve as generals, county guards and important positions.

At the same time, in the Han Dynasty, the prime minister, there was and could only be chosen from the liehou group.

Not only that, but becoming a liege also means that you can fight for your parents, wives and children and be born.

His own children and grandchildren, since then, have been a big step ahead of other peers at the starting line.

Others still need to work on their qualifications step by step and make military achievements, they have already skipped these steps directly, and they can become captains, captains, and even county guards and generals!

What's more......

If they are indeed made princes.

Then, they immediately became the absolute henchmen of today!

The reason is very simple, in the four years since Jinshang ascended the throne, theoretically speaking, he and others are the real heroes who have been entitled and appointed to Jinshang.

This kind of relationship is inherently closer than that of other princes.

Because, in the future, after a hundred years, according to tradition, he will inevitably be buried with Maoling.

He was born as a courtier, and died as a servant. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's a bit of a Kavin today~~~~~~ although it's been delayed until now!

But wait!
