Chapter 100: Sima Zhonglang, the common man’s general
The "Team" level in the Celestial Empire's army can bring fifty to five hundred people, most of whom are from the ninth level, with very few ninth level ones, and even fewer who are above the ninth level. At the "tun" level,
It can bring 200 to 5,000 people; but because the affairs and positions at this level are too complicated, there are everything from grades 6, 7, 8, and 9, and sometimes even grades 5 and 4 are mixed in.
The "Ministry" level can manage about 2,000 to 10,000 people. Positions such as miscellaneous generals, lieutenants, lieutenants, etc. are almost all above this line. However, there are very few people at this level who are above the fourth rank, let alone from
Third grade, let alone third grade.
That's why General Lancheng highlighted that he was a third-grade man, that's why he had this special meaning; but he wasn't even a general, just a lieutenant with no real power, so it was even more embarrassing to talk about it.
But these are just regulations. Special situations can be treated specially. Just like the three thousand people of the Sharp Army, whether they are seconded or helping, they are not regular operations. They don't need to be so rigid. They can completely follow the authority when the situation arises.
It is not a formal action, and it does not need to be so rigid. It can be done in a hurry. What's more important is that the Sharp Force Army also asked for conditions from the other party, so they dare not do it seriously. Of course, doing so will require a greater responsibility.
The risk is too high. If something goes wrong, the sharp edge army can only bear the responsibility, or even swallow its anger and admit that it is bad luck.
When they reach the "army" level, they are extremely powerful. These genuine generals can command about 50,000 troops at most. There are very few of them who have even graduated from the fourth rank. Most of them will soon be the same when they reach this level.
A big shot above the third rank, just like Huang Huai. Why is it said that the fourth rank is easy and the third rank is difficult? It's because a general's leap to this level is just like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate. It depends on ability but also on chance.
Genuine generals are divided into four towns and four Ans, such as which generals are to be suppressed and which generals are to be installed. Huang Huai is a genuine General An Hai. Although he does not have the right to have so many troops, he has King Jing as his backing
With the imperial power, there was nothing to talk about. And when King Jing won Huang Huai the title of General Zhengdong, he immediately dispatched an army of 130,000 people, and his possession became more justified.
Because the generals who lead armies on an expedition are different from the generals who are stationed there. They can mobilize three or five armies, up to dozens of troops and horses, and even the more the better. These generals who send troops to fight have a saying that four conquers and four equals, whether it is to conquer the east
, whether they conquer the south, conquer the west, conquer the north, or conquer the east, conquer the south, conquer the west, or conquer the north, they are all generals with real power.
The higher up the real generals are the generals, and these people are even more extraordinary. Their titles are all generals with national titles, such as protecting the country, Fuguo, Zhenguo, Weiguo general, etc.
The titles above the general level are mostly honorary titles. For example, the Great Sima (commander-in-chief) mentioned by Wei Wuzu is directly ranked among the three nobles. Although it is also the first rank, for these people, rank is no longer important.
.
The rank only represents the amount of salary. The ninth rank is equivalent to the seventh rank to the stone; the first rank general is generally about one thousand shi, but when a person becomes a great Sima, who cares about this little salary! For those who can build their own yamen
People in the government, in their own small world, can turn their hands into clouds and rain, and money is no longer a problem!
On the basis of these six levels, the five armies are divided into infantry, horse, water and other armies. They are so complicated that no one can summarize them in one word.
In fact, even among the guards, they are also divided into team leaders, team officials, cavalry captains, cavalry capital, Yamen, Lingli, Xunxing, Buqu, etc. There are all kinds of professional titles.
The generals with mixed names are even more numerous. They have general names such as Wei, Wu, Fen, Ning, Shuo, Ji, Qiang, etc., which are inexhaustible.
Except for ordinary people who are ignorant and will uniformly address these generals with various names by the name of generals, they must call themselves assistant generals, partial generals, deputy generals, or generals with any specific name in front of their own people in the army.
In addition to this general and that general, there are also various lieutenants and captains in the army, as well as diansao, dianjun, secretaries, officers, captains, dubo, and many different positions.
Of course, these positions do not exactly match those grades. Not only do they not exactly match, but they rarely match perfectly.
It is said that the level of a third-grade military general is not low, but why are you laughing? Because General Lancheng’s military position is Zhonglang! If he calls him some general, or even a school captain, it will be fine, but this Zhonglang is different from those bastards.
It's the same as being a clerk or a secretary, but it's a military position that's mostly civilized in the military!
Of course, there is one kind of lieutenant that no one dares to laugh at, and that is the Tiger Guard Lieutenant General. This military rank is a special case. Generally, it is only after a civilian official is forced to go into battle and returns victorious in the end that he may be awarded an exceptional reward.
But Sima Lancheng didn't say the word "huben", and besides, he didn't really look like a civil servant; he was still a third-rank official, so it didn't matter if he didn't say it, but if he did, it would add another thorn in his inferiority complex.
After everyone had finished laughing, they all silently looked at Wei Wuzu, who was becoming more and more uninterested; the person he could favor was probably not a weakling, but what was the use of the old man favoring him? He was not the king of the vassal kingdom.
, he said it and it didn’t count.
One look at this Sima Zhonglang, and you can tell how unpleasant he is in their military system. He is a standard, living example of a poor man who has no use in peace.
What's even more hateful is that the princes, generals and ministers even made fun of them by giving this poor guy a third-grade military rank and salary, and letting him hold a civilian military position with no real power. If not, what is this called sad? It's insulting.
?
"Who is the great Sima of your White Jade Kingdom? Do I know him? Forget it, let's not talk about this, just talk about what he is doing now." Wei Wuzu asked.
"Our Grand Sima has been here for inspection and study with generals of third rank and above. They must all have unfortunately died in the war."
What this Sima Zhonglang said seemed to be true, but Wei Wuzu didn't give any face and roared: "What a martyrdom for the country! You don't care about military affairs and come here to have fun. This is also called misfortune in your White Jade Kingdom."
Martyrdom for the country?
Sima Lancheng, tell me, they died well, they died right, they died so right, so lucky! Oh, by the way, how many people did you bring this time? One thousand or two thousand?"
There is nothing wrong with the question of the old general Wei Wuzu. Zhonglang is a top general, and he can usually mobilize more than a thousand people at the ministry level. According to Sima Zhonglang's situation, he can ask him up to 2,000 people.
I've already given him enough face.
