There are only two ways to be promoted as a general, recommendation and martial arts examination.
The martial arts examination is the same as the scientific examination. It not only tests the art of war, but also tests martial arts, riding and archery, etc. to win the top prize in martial arts.
No one in the court has any chance of being recommended. Martial arts training consumes a lot of money. Only high-ranking officials can learn it. Ordinary people don't have enough to eat. Where can they have the opportunity to practice martial arts?
As a result, military generals are virtually monopolized by a small number of people, making it difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.
Cheng Yaojin agreed: "What the King of Han said is absolutely true, it is true, but how can we change it?"
"Simple, cancel the recommendation system and introduce a military rank system. Military ranks are obtained based on military merit and are divided into privates, that is, recruits. Those who have been above one year are superior soldiers, and those who are above are sergeants. They need to kill the enemy to obtain them. They cannot be evaluated as non-commissioned officers if they have no merit.
Non-commissioned officers are divided into the lower, middle and upper grades in order, followed by lieutenants, and are divided into junior, middle and upper grades. Only second lieutenants are qualified to be captains. Lieutenants and above are colonels, followed by junior, middle, senior and senior ranks. Those above are colonels.
Generals are also divided into three levels: junior, middle, and upper. Above the general is the commander, the highest ranking, which is the commander-in-chief of the theater."
The words are clear and understandable at a glance.
Everyone chewed it carefully, and the civil servants felt nothing. But the generals were different. The more they tasted it, the more extraordinary they felt.
There are five levels of soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, commanders, and generals, and each level is divided into junior, middle, and upper levels. In this way, the whole army has its own rank, which is clear at a glance and is indeed easy to manage.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Qin Huaidao knew that they had little knowledge. It was indeed difficult to accept and understand a new thing, so he continued: "Everyone, from now on in the army, in terms of rank, if a battalion performs a mission, once the battalion commander dies in battle, the whole battalion will be killed.
It is a piece of loose sand, but it is different with grades. The battalion commander is at least a lieutenant, but there cannot be only one lieutenant in a battalion. He can be promoted immediately. If the lieutenant is not there, the second lieutenant will be the top. If the second lieutenant is not the sergeant, he will be the top.
The army will not be in chaos or lose command."
"hiss--"
The military generals took a breath of air-conditioning and suddenly realized the wonderful effect of this system.
According to the imperial court system, when the leading general dies, the army will instantly fall into disarray. But with this system, it is different. According to the rank, no one will be dissatisfied with whoever is higher in rank, and the army will never have to worry about being defeated.
"Great kindness, this move is indescribable. It is a great achievement of our military strategist. This move by the King of Han is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world." Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, thought deeply and thoroughly, and couldn't help but praise excitedly.
Cheng Yaojin also reacted and said excitedly: "In this way, you don't have to worry about the issue of command authority. Even if the army is scattered, the highest-ranking people can stand up and gather the troops. No one will be dissatisfied. However, the army has a large number of people.
, we don’t know each other, how to identify the grade?”
"This is even simpler."
Qin Huaidao smiled, with a relaxed and calm look on his face.
"Is this simple?" Everyone was surprised. Seeing Qin Huaidao's face full of wisdom, as if there was nothing he could do, their admiration suddenly became more intense, and they all pricked up their ears.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "I will make some objects that represent the grade, and then fix them on my shoulders so that people can see them at a glance. I will come back to the details later."
When everyone hears it, it is fixed on their shoulders. It is not only easy to identify, but also the key is to look majestic and dignified when going out. It can also arouse the comparison and competitiveness of the soldiers, thus forming combat effectiveness. It is like killing three birds with one stone.
"High, really high!"
"This is a great kindness!"
“Amazing!”
It took a while for the council hall to become quiet.
Seeing that no one objected, Qin Huaidao continued with satisfaction: "Non-commissioned officers are the lowest level force. If you want to be promoted to lieutenant, in addition to military merit, you also need to test military art, geography, arithmetic, etc. The higher you go, the more content you will need to take. The specific military department will take
Come out with the charter, everyone—"
At this point Qin Huaidao paused deliberately.
Everyone sat upright with eager eyes. The hall was instantly silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Qin Huaidao looked around and continued: "Everyone, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment. I will work with the Ministry of Law to introduce a set of laws, including civil law, military law, and official law. Civil law binds all people, military law binds the army, and official law binds hundreds of thousands of people."
Officials, everyone will abide by it, including this king, but if it breaks the law, it will be punished without tolerance."
"Follow the order!" Everyone felt Qin Huaidao's determination and warning and responded one after another.
"Is it true that everyone follows the instructions and has no privileges?" Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and asked. Having worked as a censor for most of his life, he knew very well that imperial power was supreme and scholar-bureaucrats enjoyed privileges, and he hated it to the core.
"I once again emphasize that everyone, including me, must abide by the law and never tolerate it. Once the law is enacted, stone tablets should be carved and placed in the city for people to see, and people should be sent to explain it so that everyone knows the law and understands it.
, everyone abides by the law." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, his eyes were clear and sharp, as if he could see through everything.
Seeing what Wei Zheng wanted to say, Qin Huaidao spoke first: "Master Wei, I will entrust the Ministry of Law to you. I hope you will do one thing. The law must be obeyed, the law must be strictly enforced, and the violations must be punished!"
"good!"
"A good saying is that the law must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted!"
"I thank the King of Han on behalf of the people of the world. As the King of Han said, I will risk my life to uphold the majesty of the law, uphold justice and justice!" Wei Zheng said excitedly and bowed solemnly.
Qin Huaidao nodded, having no doubt about Wei Zheng's character. As for raising the status of the law, he was taking precautions in the future. He would have fewer things to do in the future. His eyes fell on Luo Wu, and he had an idea and said loudly again: "You are officials, and you control the people.
We also need to accept supervision, so I withdraw from the official law. Don’t worry, even I have to act in accordance with the official law and will never punish anyone indiscriminately."
As soon as these words came out, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Act according to the rules, and there are traces to follow. Don't worry, everyone. If you are moody and deal with things at will, your life will be difficult.
Qin Huaidao had a clear view of everyone's expressions, and continued without criticizing: "In view of this, the king will establish a royal guard, who will wear royal clothes and supervise all officials. The guard group Luo Wu?"
"Arrived!" Luo Wu quickly stood up.
"The guard regiment will be renamed Jinyiwei from today on. It will be responsible for guarding the king, supervising arrests, issuing edicts to prison, beheading first and reporting later. It is authorized by the royal power. However, if there is corruption and perversion of the law, frame-up, or wrongful conviction of an enemy, no matter who is involved in the Jinyiwei,
, punish one clan, if serious, punish three clans.”
The words were full of murderous intent, and the whole audience was silent.
The council hall felt a little colder for no reason.
Luo Wu felt Qin Huaidao's trust. He killed first and then reported, and the royal power was granted. This was such a trust, but he also felt Qin Huaidao's worries and warnings. He was worried that everyone would abuse their power and scare all the officials into danger.
The next moment, Luo Wu stepped forward and said solemnly: "For the information of the King of Han, a certain Luo Wu hereby swears to all civil and military officials to act in accordance with the law. No matter who the Jinyi Guard belongs to, there is an enemy who made a mistake. Without the King of Han taking action, a certain Luo Wu will cut it off himself."
I’ll clear my head and give everyone an explanation.”
