Chapter 272 Military Merit

To confer military merit on land, there must be a supporting military merit title system.

Qin Shang Yang's reform, farming and war established the country, from Gongshi to Chehou, each level has clear requirements for the head.

The food, etiquette, food, and stipends of each level are different.

There are also punishments such as flogging, mutilation, and death to punish incompetent and incompetent officials.

To imitate Qin's system, it must be supported by a huge bureaucracy, which is exactly the shortcoming of Xiping.

However, in the long history, there is another system that we can learn from.

Twelve rounds of Ce Xun will reward hundreds of strong men!

The twelve-turn military merit system inherited from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Zheng vaguely remembers that he was promoted from the lowest rank of Martial Cavalry Lieutenant to the twelfth rank of Shangzhu Kingdom.

It is simpler and clearer than Da Qin's. It does not count merit by head, but calculates merit uniformly based on the process and victory or defeat of each war.

According to the scale of the war, the strength of the troops, and the equipment, the "entering the battle" is to attack more with less, the "middle formation" is to be evenly matched, and the "down the battle" is to attack more with less.

Killing more than 40% of the enemies is considered a "high gain", killing two enemies is a "medium gain", and killing one enemy is a "low gain".

To put it all together, the upper level gain is five turns, the lower level gain is three turns, and so on.

Even though there are only twelve ranks, there are only a few who have truly reached the second level of the Zhuguo Kingdom through military merit.

During the period of Emperor Li Er, famous generals such as Yun, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Li Ji fought for 20 to 30 years, and after recording successive honors, they were awarded the title of Zhuguo.

Can a dynasty have Qin Qiong and Li Ji?

How many Li Jings can a nation have?

The Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty was not obtained through military merit.

As history rolls forward, the twelve-level military merit system itself was improved from the military merit system of the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, and is much more in line with the times than the twenty-level military merit title system of the Great Qin Dynasty.

It is also easier to implement.

Xuanyi Lang was sent to the village, and there were still Sima and other positions in the army, which could be used for merit examination.

This is light and dark and there are nine campers.

The three levels of examination system are not unified, and there is no way to falsely report military merit.

There will be no Qin troops fighting each other for their heads.

There will be no such thing as killing good people and taking credit for merit in the late Ming Dynasty.

Yang Zheng felt that the great martial arts during the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties had a lot to do with the military achievements of the Twelve Revolutions.

The passage for soldiers to ascend was opened, and naturally everyone took their lives.

After Yang Zheng discussed with Du Yu for three full days, the Xiping version of the merit system of the Twelfth Revolutionary Army was newly released.

Armored Soldier, Warrior, Mengshi, Cloud Cavalry, Flying Cavalry, Xiao Cavalry, Eagle Striker, Tiger Guard, Ying Yanglang General, Tiger Ben Lang General, Protector, and Upper Protector respectively correspond to turns one to twelve. , from the seventh grade to the second grade.

Of course, the grade is temporarily vacant.

Yang Zheng, a third-rank governor, was granted the title of second-rank superior guard, which was a bit too sensational.

Each level has clearly marked salary, land and benefits.

One hundred acres for soldiers, two hundred acres for warriors, four hundred acres for men, increasing to ten acres for the superior army.

In the Han and Wei dynasties, one hectare was almost 240 acres.

In addition, Yang Zheng also stipulated that those above Yunqi Lang must pay taxes to avoid the emergence of a gentry class similar to the Ming Dynasty.

A high reward for going into battle always has a clear number of enemy troops. Defeating more than 50,000 enemy troops with a smaller number can be called a battle, and killing more than 20,000 enemies or capturing more than 20,000 enemies can be called a high reward.

Therefore, rank 5 military merit is not so easy to obtain.

In a victory, it is impossible for everyone to be a flying knight who has achieved rank five in battle.

Instead, according to the merit, from the chief general to the deputy general, tooth general, commander, camp commander, soldiers, etc., they are evaluated in order, and then awarded.

Soldiers who do not meet the requirements for military merit will have military merit recorded based on their battle results. After accumulation, they can also receive military merit. If they do not want to accumulate, they will be given land, money or silk, depending on the soldier's personal wishes.

In short, with a victory, the soldiers will definitely gain something.

If you have accumulated military merit for five years, you will automatically be converted into a soldier, which is regarded as a consolation prize.

Those who are above the level of a soldier must have actual military merit.

In addition, for particularly brave soldiers and generals, there are also merits such as killing generals, ascending first, capturing flags, breaking formations, etc., and some additional warriors can be awarded.

Where there are rewards, there are punishments.

The military merit system of the Great Qin Dynasty was not limited to promotions but not downgrades. It involved executions such as beheading, gizzarding, palace punishment, burial alive, car-breaking, beheading, implicated, etc.

Once it is too cruel and the person is crippled, there will be no chance for correction next time.

Secondly, if you do this, once the soldiers make a mistake, they will panic and flee.

Du Yu suggested only five methods: whipping, reduction of honors, fines, beheading, and execution of clan members.

There are corresponding punishment measures for deserters, cowardice, hiding in hiding, incompetence of generals, defeats, loss of cities, loss of troops, rebellion, etc. Those who rebel are Yi tribe.

It was so meticulous that when Xuan Yilang died in battle, all the troops he belonged to were punished.

After writing nearly 10,000 words, I finally figured out the military merit system.

Du Yu reviewed it several times before he was satisfied, "As soon as this method comes out, our army will become a tiger and wolf army."

After Lu Zhi read it, she was also filled with admiration.

Then both of them surrendered to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng's face turned red and he laughed twice, "This is not my fault alone."

This military merit system went through improvements in the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was tested for five hundred years. By the time of the Anshi Rebellion, it collapsed with the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Yang Zheng summoned Pang Qing, "Before the autumn harvest, this system must be promoted to the entire army."

Pang Qing had a wry smile on his face, "The armies of Xuan Yilang have not yet been fully staffed, and recently Yongliang has been relocating its people and taking prisoners, all of them need Xuanyi Lang..."

"You only need to announce it to the four zhechong mansions in the river meander. After the autumn harvest, the other zhechong mansions will be slowly added." Du Yu suggested.

Yang Zheng nodded, it would be good to try it out in Hequ first, and said to Lu Zhi: "Qingying hopes that uncle will take more trouble."

At present, Qingying, Zhang Zhi enlightens, Lu Zhi teaches, and Yang Zheng personally focuses on ideological education.

Other martial arts, battle formations, art of war, arithmetic, etc. are taught by specialized personnel.

When Lian Du was free, he would also teach arithmetic and classics.

The six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and arithmetic, are not limited to Confucian classics.

Based on pragmatic considerations, Yang Zheng downgraded etiquette and music to one level, making them just like elective courses for later generations. Besides, Xiping did not have the conditions to engage in music.

Yu Ze changed it to riding. In the northwest, it's not enough if you don't know how to ride.

In addition, Yang Zheng also added doctors and farmers to the youth camp.

Farming is more important than anything else these days, and it is also the foundation of everything.

With frequent wars, the importance of medicine is self-evident.

However, it has been difficult to find a skilled doctor, and the Department of Recruitment has been unable to recruit anyone, so it can only leave the hospital empty and encourage private people to open medical clinics.

"This is inevitable." Lu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Du Kuan, the Prime Minister of Talent Recruitment, is also a well-educated man and can serve in the Qing camp concurrently."

Yang Zheng had a lot of opinions about Du Kuan, an old boy, and he was arrogant and arrogant. He also played one thing after another, but his work was completely messed up. He was engaged in some Chunqiu Zuo family interpretation every day, and he always pulled Du Yu.

The Recruitment Department has been working for so long, and it has only managed to recruit a few second- and third-rate people in Liangzhou.

If it weren't for Du Yu's face, Yang Zheng would have asked him to pack up and leave.

You should also find something for him to do.

Yang Zheng, Du Yu, and Lu Zhi have no objections, which means that this system can be implemented.
