Statistics of military exploits are mainly the responsibility of the General Staff. When the meeting officially began, Liu Pu handed Li Mingyuan a thick record book and said: "Your Majesty, based on the size of the military exploits and the official rank of the personnel who performed the meritorious service, the statistics of military exploits are divided into four categories.
Categories, the first category is the statistics of military exploits of those with military ranks above generals. There are fewer people at this level. There are only four division commanders of the Chinese Independent Army, the cavalry brigade commander, the first mixed brigade, the second mixed brigade, and the special commander.
The General Staff Headquarters, including its subordinates, has nine chief officers.
The second category is school-level officers, including battalion and regiment-level officers and divisional subordinates, mixed brigade-affiliated assistant officers, with a number of meritorious service of 585, and the third category is captain-level officers, with a number of meritorious service of 2,647
, the last category is ordinary soldiers, the number of meritorious service is 50,000."
"It is an effective method to classify military merit categories according to military rank. However, it is too unfair to classify soldiers with significant military exploits and ordinary soldiers just because of their low military rank. I think it is better to do this under the General Staff
A combat merit review department is specially divided, and the combat merit statistics reported by each unit are reviewed and judged by the review department. At the same time, the merits of the soldiers are determined based on the significance of the combat merits to the battle."
Li Mingyuan took the four war merit record books handed over by Liu Pu. He first opened the one that recorded the war merits of ordinary soldiers, read the records of soldiers who had made meritorious services in the previous sections, and then roughly looked through the other three books that recorded the meritorious service records in front of them.
Said: "Sniper Sergeant Squad Leader Wang Chenglin killed one Brazilian major officer and three captains during the storming of Oricin. When capturing the armored warship, he killed the Brazilian officer on duty who wanted to report the news, thus avoiding the failure of the unit's sneak attack:
During the pursuit of Garcia, a Brazilian colonel and two majors were killed.
The combined effort of so many attacks is more significant than the destruction of an enemy battalion. However, Wang Chenglin, who has made great achievements, has a record of meritorious service with that of ordinary soldiers, and his meritorious service rewards are lower than those of most school-level officers. This is too important for Wang Chenglin.
It’s unfair. There are also artillery brigade corporal Gao Dahai, who blew up the enemy’s headquarters with one shot during the Battle of Oricin, causing the Brazilian defenders to lose their command and were finally annihilated by our army. There are many such examples, so I won’t list them all.
Example.
The role played by Wang Chenglin, Gao Dahai and others in a certain battle had a huge impact on the battle situation. We cannot reduce their credit because of their low positions. This is unfair to the soldiers who fought bravely and to the development and growth of the entire Chinese Independence Army.
It is also very unfavorable, so I hope that when the officers of the staff evaluate the soldiers' combat merit, they will take into account the impact of their combat achievements on the battle situation, and make a comprehensive assessment to determine the size of their combat merits."
There are more than 100,000 people in the Chinese Independent Army. Liu Pu is only responsible for the general standards for assessing military merit. The specific work is handled by the staff officers below. With more than 100,000 people in the accounting work, some mistakes are inevitable. The problem pointed out by Li Mingyuan
, Liu Pu also felt that it was one-sided to solely rely on soldiers’ ranks to calculate military exploits, but it was easy to find problems, but it was another thing to find appropriate solutions.
Liu Pu listened carefully to the questions raised by Li Mingyuan and said awkwardly, "It is not fair to some soldiers to evaluate the military merits based solely on the rank of officers and soldiers. However, the achievements of the two soldiers mentioned by the prince just had a huge impact on the battle at that time.
Logically speaking, it is not an exaggeration to promote them to battalion commanders or regimental commanders based on their merits, but their strengths are that they are particularly good in a certain aspect. For example, Wang Chenglin, whose sniper skills are among the best among 100,000 Chinese troops, let him execute
There is no problem with the sniper mission at all, but if he is promoted to battalion commander based on his merits, his advantages will not be brought into play, and it will be difficult for a battalion to exert its original combat effectiveness under his leadership."
What Liu Pu said is also very reasonable. It is not reasonable to divide the military merits according to their military ranks, and it is not reasonable to promote them to the command position. These words are useful, but Liu Pu is the chief of staff, and his duty is to make suggestions for Li Mingyuan.
, the problem raised by Li Mingyuan has not been solved, and even though the explanation he gave is reasonable, he still feels a little embarrassed.
Li Mingyuan did not complain about Liu Pu's unfavorable performance. He thought about the difficulties Liu Pu encountered in the practical operation of determining the size of the soldiers' combat merit. After a while, he had a clue in his mind.
"Chief of Staff and all of you here, I have come up with a way and let you know."
Li Mingyuan paused and said, "Soldiers like Wang Chenglin have special skills, but it is not appropriate to promote him to a command position. Therefore, I want to design a medal system that is specially issued to individual soldiers or soldiers with important military exploits.
officer."
The implementation of medals in the mainland was relatively late, but the senior generals of the Chinese Independence Army who had had a lot of dealings with people of European descent were no strangers to medals. When Li Mingyuan talked about designing the Chinese Independence Army's own medals, some officers couldn't help but show their eyes.
Light, dreaming about what kind of medal I can get.
"I have come up with some general levels of medal design, which are divided into four levels and thirteen levels, respectively.
First Class Taiping Medal: The highest medal of honor, which means that the Chinese Independence Army developed from the Taiping Army. It is made of precious jade.
Second-class Yunlong Medal: It is divided into first, second and third-class Yunlong Medals, made of gold.
Third-level Renaissance Medal: divided into three levels, made of silver
The fourth-level Baoding Medal: divided into three levels, made of copper.
The specific criteria for awarding each medal will be formulated later by the staff."
"It is most appropriate to use medals to reward meritorious officers like Wang Chenglin. After the meeting, my subordinates asked the staff of the staff department to formulate a medal plan."
Li Mingyuan solved the problem he raised, saving Liu Pu trouble. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Li Mingyuan's decisive thinking. After a while, he thought of borrowing Western medals to reward soldiers with outstanding military exploits, but others did not think of this.
.
"The medal system is not unique to the West. In the Han and Tang dynasties, the python robes and swords awarded by monarchs to their ministers are essentially similar to medals. The only difference is that the python robes and swords are awarded to court ministers. Unlike medals, they are faced with all
Soldier."
"Medals made of gold and silver are a good thing. If we don't go to war in the future, it would be good to keep the medals awarded by the crown prince as family heirlooms." Chen Guozhu said with a smile.
"Medal made of gold is good, but it is not so easy to get. Although the Chinese Independence Army has not fought a war for the time being, Brazil will not sit back and watch us occupy Rio Grande do Sul. War will be inevitable in the future. If you want to get a medal made of gold, you still need to
You have to work hard to gain military exploits.”
Li Mingyuan made a joke with the generals sitting there. After the generals below laughed, he continued, "It will take some time to design the medal, but the matter of dividing the fields cannot be delayed. Twelve thousand Paraguayan women have been placed in Alegre."
In the West District of Ligang, soldiers from outside the city run towards the West District several times a day. I think if we don’t find husbands for them early, the overly excited taxis will make a mistake.”
"Twelve thousand women of working age are still less than the Chinese Independent Army, and they cannot be distributed evenly. It is better to first determine the number of people who have won various medals, and then let the soldiers who have won the medals give priority to the women they like, and then based on military merit
According to the military rank, they will be retired in order from high to low until all 12,000 women of the right age have been allocated."
Liu Pu suggested.
"The design of the medal and the selection of candidates for the medal must be completed as soon as possible. Paraguayan women who marry home must be treated well and cannot be beaten or abused without reason."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, all men and women in the world are the children of Heavenly Father. It's too late for brothers to marry them home and love them. How can they abuse them?"
"In the Kingdom of Heaven, many sisters fought side by side with their brothers, especially Su Sanniang. The women's army under her was not inferior to the men. Our old Taiping Army brothers are not like Qing Yao who looks down on female sisters."
"Qing Yao is so hateful. More than 100,000 sisters in the Kingdom of Heaven were raped and abused by Zeng Shatou's men, and died of torture. Such great revenge must be avenged!"
"The Qing Dynasty is unruly, and the demons and traitors are killing brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Heaven. One day they will have to pay with their blood."
Most of the top brass of the Chinese Independence Army were former remnants of the Taiping Army. When it came to the Manchu and Qing armies, the topic couldn't help but veered from the discussion of Paraguayan women to the Qing army's mutilation of Taiping women. Although Li Mingyuan did not truly understand the tragedy of the Taiping women's deaths.
, but from the mouths of the old Taiping soldiers around him, he could also feel the brutality and bloodshed of the Manchus. He didn't understand how many innocent people the Manchus had killed. When they raised their butcher knives, they didn't even have a trace of mercy. Facing such a group of hands,
The Tunguska wild boar skin stained with the blood of the Han people, how could the experts and professors of later generations sing their praises!
Tweet old Qin, restore our rivers and mountains. The blood will not be shed dry, and there will be no truce until the death. There is the great Qin in the west, and it will rise like the sun. The hatred of the country for hundreds of years, the sea will be difficult to calm down.
Don’t you see, the army of the Han Dynasty has ended, and the weak crowns tied to the prisoners are asking for long tassels.
Don’t you see, Ban Ding is far away, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhan Yun!
The smoke and dust of the Han family are in the northeast, and the Han generals will resign and destroy their families.
A man's self-respect is rampant, and the emperor gives him a lot of color!
Where are the dignified Han family members who used to be confident and masculine, with angry eyes, and who adhered to the hatred of their parents and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period?
As time goes by, thousands of years change, perhaps the Zhengzheng warriors have been buried in the yellow sand, and the burial place of the Han soldiers who went on an expedition has become the territory of other countries. Time has worn away the distant civilization and spirit, leaving only weak sheep who humbly call themselves
The slaves talked well with the barbarians. Li Mingyuan could not change the entire Han Chinese nation, but he would never allow such slaves and slaves to appear in the Chinese Independence Army under his rule.
Waving his hands to stop the excited officer, Li Mingyuan said, "The brothers and sisters of the Kingdom of Heaven have sworn hatred. The Manchu and Qing Tatars, Zeng Shatou and other Tatar traitors will not let them go. When our Chinese Independence Army becomes stronger, I will definitely lead it."
The brothers caught the heads of the Manchu and Tartar thieves and Zeng Shao. At that time, they used what they used against their brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Heaven!"
"The Tartar emperor was skinned alive, and Ling Chi had his head shaved." An old Taiping Army officer shouted, and the others roared in response.
The crowd was furious, and the subsequent land division was not as enthusiastic as at the beginning. The land areas of each department were roughly divided, and the meeting ended.
