Chapter 475: The Military Rank System
After announcing the plan for the reorganization of the armed forces, the next step is to reward meritorious deeds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wei Zhang was awarded the title of General Yanglie, and the rest of the generals, including the soldiers who were advantageous in battle, were rewarded. Of course, all awards are carried out in accordance with the military merit system and military rank system formulated by the Military Affairs Administration.
After a busy month, Du Ruhui led the Military Affairs Bureau, and finally a few days ago, the military merit system and the military rank system of the general territory were formulated and approved by Ouyang Shuo.
This time the reward for meritorious deeds is based on the "Shanhai Leader Reward System for Military Merit".
According to the regulations, the rewards for military merits in the territory are roughly divided into three categories.
First, reward money.
This is the most common and common type of reward. Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, equipment armor, elite horses, elite weapons, and skill books are among the rewards.
Among them, it is also rewarded with money, which is the most common.
In the system, there are clear regulations on "how much merit you have made and how much reward you will receive". From generals to ordinary soldiers, all of them are among the rewards.
Of course, the reward is limited to those who perform well.
In other words, the rewards in the army will not be large-scale and extensive. Only those who are the most brave in battle, those who kill the most enemies, and those who have performed miraculous feats are eligible for rewards.
Only in this way can the morale of the military be stimulated and play its due role in motivating the army.
Second, promotion to military rank.
According to the provisions of the "Shanhai Rank System System", the territorial military ranks are divided into generals, captains, lieutenants, sergeants, and soldiers, with a total of five orders and eighteen levels.
The general is divided into five grades, with one being the highest and five being the lowest. Each general has a specific title, and it is unique. The school captain is divided into three grades, namely the upper grade lieutenant, the middle grade lieutenant and the lower grade lieutenant.
Lieutenant and sergeant are all three grades, i.e., captain, lieutenant, and private, sergeant, sergeant, and corporal. The lowest rank is the fourth rank, which is the Private, the Private, the Private, and the Private.
Military rank is linked to position.
The rank of general is only awarded to divisional commanders and above. The rank of lieutenant, corresponding to the first level of brigade commander; The rank of lieutenant corresponds to the first rank of the battalion; Sergeant rank, corresponding to the first level of the team; The rank of soldier corresponds to the first rank of fire commander.
In addition, the rank of private is only awarded to non-officer non-commissioned officers. All recruits in each department are regularized, and the rank of non-commissioned officer reaches the rank of fifth-order soldier, and they automatically receive the rank of private.
Non-commissioned officers below the fifth rank are uniformly called recruits and have no military rank.
This criterion alone can show the elite strategy of Shanhai City. According to this standard, the meaning is obvious, all rookies below the fifth order are not even qualified to go to the battlefield.
This has to be put aside in other territories, and the fifth-order warriors can already be regarded as elite soldiers.
Every officer has a basic rank after taking office, and the following grades shall prevail. For example, if a non-commissioned officer is promoted to fire chief, he automatically receives the rank of private. After meritorious service, they can be promoted to first-class private and first-class private in turn.
Of course, the superior soldier is at the top. Only if he is promoted again to the rank of corporal can he be awarded the rank of corporal. And so on, the commanders of the divisions, after taking office, will automatically receive the rank of general of the fifth grade.
Military rank, which is demarcated by the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army. Junior officers must unconditionally obey their superior officers, which is an iron law in the army. In this way, in the war, there will be no problem of confusion of command.
Take, for example, a battalion. If the battalion is killed, according to the usual practice, there is no one to take it at all, and the team has no command authority, and the whole team will immediately become a plate of scattered sand.
With military ranks, the situation is very different.
Once the battalion is killed, according to military regulations, the person with the highest rank in the battalion will automatically replace him as the temporary commander. If the replacement is also killed, he or she will be replaced by the highest-ranking of the survivors. In this way, this team can continue to fight until it is completely defeated.
This alone is better than thousands of armies, and no territorial characteristics can compare to a perfect system.
In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, military ranks are also closely related to military salaries.
Taking this opportunity, Du Ruhui also made a change to the military salary system of the territory. In the future, military pay will only be linked to military rank, and will no longer be linked to the rank and position of non-commissioned officers.
For example, the previous monthly military salary of the fire commander was a uniform 1 gold coin. After the change, it was changed to 1 gold for the Superior Soldier's Salary, 80 Silver Coins for the First Soldier's Salary, and 60 Silver Coins for the Second Soldier's Commander's Salary.
If it is said, the above military rank corresponds to the previous standard military salary. In this way, the expenditure of officers' salaries has been reduced invisibly.
You must know that in the expenditure on military salaries, the officer group accounts for about 30 percent.
However, the officer could not say anything about this. In the army, martial arts are respected, and he is also a fire commander, and if the second-class soldier feels that the military salary is small, he will fight hard and be promoted to a first-class soldier.
In this way, it will stimulate the morale of the officers and men in the army to make meritorious contributions.
Du Ruhui's move can be described as a stroke of genius, which has deceived people and made people have nothing to say.
Correspondingly, the salary standards of military ranks at all levels have been uniformly adjusted. The basic principle is to use 0.8 as the benchmark. That is to say, in the same rank, the salary of the next level of military rank is only eighty percent of that of the upper level.
The sergeant's team is paid 5 gold coins, the sergeant's team is 4 gold coins, and the corporal team is 3 gold coins. The captain's battalion is paid 20 gold coins, the lieutenant's battalion is 15 gold coins, and the lieutenant's battalion is 12 gold coins.
The salary of the high-grade captain brigade commander is 50 gold coins, the middle-grade captain brigade commander is 40 gold coins, and the low-grade captain brigade commander is 30 gold coins.
The rank of general, again, is different.
According to the regulations, the general gets an annual salary, which is received once a year. The annual salary of the fifth general is 1,000 gold coins, the fourth rank general is 2,000 gold coins, the third rank general is 3,000 gold coins, the second rank general is 4,000 gold coins, and the first rank general is 5,000 gold coins.
In addition to the annual salary, the general also enjoyed other special treatments.
According to the regulations, every general is in Shanhai City, and a general's mansion is given. Depending on the grade, the specifications of the General's Mansion are also different.
For example, Lin Yi is now a five-grade general Huwei, so he will give General Huwei a mansion. Bai Qi is a first-class general, and he will be given a general's mansion.
Ouyang Shuo's arrangement is also to hope that the generals under his command can enjoy the warmth of home in addition to commanding the troops to fight. Back in Shanhai City, there is still a place to stay.
According to Gaia's arrangement, the family members of historical figures, after the dynasty joined the wilderness process, will automatically appear in the wilderness and can be found.
For example, Bai Qi's wife is like this.
Similarly, the families of generals such as Sun Bin, Evil Lai, Zhang Han, and Wei Zhang also came to Shanhai City one by one.
In the military rank system, in addition to the different treatment of generals, there are also different regulations for privates and even recruits. Similarly, because of the reduction of the rank and salary of the soldiers, the salaries of the non-commissioned officers will naturally be reduced.
Recruits from the first to the fourth rank will receive a salary of 20 silver coins. Private of the ninth rank and below, the military salary is 40 silver coins. Ten to twelve rank hundred battle elite soldiers, military salary 60 silver coins, the same as the second-class soldier commander.
Du Ruhui is also ruthless, and with this reform alone, he has cut military spending by more than 10 percent. Previously, the average rank of non-commissioned officers was a battalion of the fourth order, and the cost of military pay was 275 gold coins.
After the reform, the cost of military pay was directly reduced to 237 gold coins.
By analogy, the military salary expenditure of a division and regiment has been directly reduced from the original 8,250 gold coins to 7,200 gold coins. The cost of a fully formed legion is around 36,000 gold.
The three full-fledged legions, a month's salary, is roughly around 110,000 gold coins.
In order to reduce military spending, Du Ruhui made a ruthless move this time.
Similarly, the Military Affairs Administration has made clear regulations on the salaries of local garrison forces.
The military salary of the garrison force is the same as that of the field army, and the military salary is calculated according to 80% of the latter. As the garrison of the city guard division, the military salary is paid according to the standard of the field army.
If there is a military rank, there will naturally be a corresponding medal.
According to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the medal uses the dragon as a model and totem.
Generals, all wearing gold dragon medals.
What distinguishes the rank of a general is the number of golden dragons spitting beads. General Wupin, there is only one Dragon Ball; Four generals, two dragon balls. And so on, a first-class general, is five dragon balls.
The first rank of the general is six dragon balls.
Ouyang Shuo, as the commander of the whole army, also wore the Golden Dragon Medal when he wore a military uniform. The difference is that his golden dragon is a nine-clawed golden dragon, and the dragon ball he spits out is also a huge golden dragon ball.
Nine-clawed golden dragon, five in the front and four in the back.
The General's Dragon Ball is the White Dragon Ball. The golden dragon is also only seven claws, four in the front and three in the back.
Captains, lieutenants and sergeants correspond to the Silver Dragon Medal, the Iron Dragon Medal and the Bronze Dragon Medal respectively. The upper, middle, and lower frets correspond to three dragon balls, two dragon balls, and one dragon ball.
For each type of dragon medal, the material is corresponding to the title one by one.
For example, the Golden Dragon Medallion is cast in gold.
As for the lowest rank, they are not entitled to wear the Dragon Badge. Their medals are also made of bronze, marked by the cross of Tang swords and heavy swords, and the distinction between ranks is a bar.
private, a bar; Private of the second class, two bars; And so on, the superior soldier is the four bars.
There is no doubt that the formulation and implementation of military ranks and grades marks another solid step forward for the army of Shanhaicheng on the road to the professionalization of the army.
A major task of the current reorganization of the armed forces is to confer titles on all officers and men of the armed forces.
According to the arrangements of the Military Affairs Administration, the ceremony will be held immediately after the completion of the reorganization of the armed forces.
At that time, Ouyang Shuo will personally preside over the award ceremony.
The last category of military merit rewards is knighthood.
Needless to say, in ancient times, a knighthood was a heavier reward than a military rank, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest reward. But if you get a knighthood, it is enough to glorify your ancestors.
It's a pity that Ouyang Shuo, whether as the Marquis of Lianzhou or the protector of Southern Xinjiang, does not have the power to grant titles to his vassals or generals.
Only the head of a country can confer titles.
Therefore, the third type of reward can only stay in the file drawn up by the Military Affairs Administration for the time being, and cannot be carried out yet. You must wait until the founding of the country before you can be knighted.
Du Ruhui listed it, but also to give a thought to the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
