The so-called "King James Constitution of the Great Chu" is by no means that Ning Yu wants to limit himself, let alone the set of cults in later generations, but a strengthening of monarchy in this era, to put it bluntly, it is to divide part of the gentry's meat to industry and commerce by strengthening the monarchy, on the one hand, to achieve the need for checks and balances, and on the other hand, to achieve prosperity and strength.

The direction of change during the Ming and Qing dynasties has always been developing in the direction of self-weakening, so Ning Yu needs to change this, the premise is to stabilize the development of the monarchy, get rid of the influence of the gentry group, so that the king can concentrate more resources and power in his hands.

In order to demonstrate this determination, Ning Yu soon held a Huguang industrial and commercial conference in Huguang, based on the Jiangnan model, the industrial and commercial circles of Huguang were concentrated, and the words were naturally hinted at if they wanted power, so they would support the "King James Constitution"!

For Ning Yu's move, the scholars are naturally a little tired, the scholars of Huguang and the scholars of other provinces gave Ning Yu a so-called "Congratulations of the People of All Persuasions", the purpose of which is to respectfully ask Ning Yu to succeed to the throne as emperor as soon as possible, but the actual intention is to let Ning Yu sit on the emperor's seat as soon as possible, and then they can make Ning Yu compromise in the name of the world.

Even if Ning Yu Wencheng Wude is not good at fooling, the next emperor may be fooled in the future, and everything will naturally return to the original state when the time comes.

The gentry and many officials reached an agreement at this time, they must be enthusiastic about Ning Yu's succession, together with Cheng Yuanzhi, Ning Zhongjing, Li Fu and other ministers, they also changed into red official clothes, bowed three times and bowed nine times in front of the palace, and persuaded Ning Yu to ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

"The world is divided into three parts, one of which is in my hands, the king is the current Yao Shun, and he should ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world."

The scholars claimed to praise Ning Yu's exploits outside the palace of the King of Chu, but it was really difficult to associate them with the gang before, maybe in front of them, they would have been blown to the heavens and the earth.

Ning Yu was playing chess with Ning Zhongyuan in the mansion, turning a deaf ear to the mountains and tsunami outside, just studying the chess game in front of him, and Ning Zhongyuan was almost tired of hearing this set, and he was no longer moved at all, but he was a little curious about Ning Yu's calmness.

"Yu'er, don't you have a little fluctuation in your heart because of this persuasion outside the door?"

Ning Yu put a chess piece on the chessboard, and then said with a smile: "They are too familiar with this set, no matter who is the emperor, they will do it, Kangxi, Yongzheng and you, aren't they all cheering?" It doesn't matter who is the emperor, it is important to have the emperor. ”

Hearing that Ning Yu's words seemed to mean something, Ning Zhongyuan just smiled, "You can sit firmly on this Diaoyu Tai, which really shows that you have grown." It's just that if this ancestral family law wants to come out, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns. ”

A wry smile appeared on Ning Yu's face, "There is no way to do it now, it is easy to be the emperor, but it is too difficult to clean up the things that follow, if you wait until the Great Chu establishes the country, I am afraid that there will be no way to make such a big move." Now it's better to be in a better state, and I can see it more clearly. ”

"As for those who oppose it, those who really dare to do it have already been killed in the past, but now they are just some speculators and rotten people, it's okay for them to use their mouths, but it's not okay to really hold the gun."

If Ning Yu's words are circulated, I am afraid that it will make the scholars embarrassed, and the most important thing is that Ning Yu is not slandering out of thin air, but a real word.

The so-called literati style bones, after entering the customs in Manchuria, were beaten into a falling flower, among which a few Confucians, such as Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others, who are more stylish, have now gone west, and the rest of the literati are almost all born in the Qing Dynasty, and this style and bones naturally have to put a question mark.

"That is why this constitution is necessary, and it would be too risky to put the future of the country only on these literati and gentry. My emperor of Dachu must jump out of the circle of monarchs and ministers of Confucianism in order to truly make a statement. ”

The noise outside the door continued, but Ning Yu's mind was no longer on it, he wouldn't care about the saliva, but he also had to prevent the other party's dog from jumping off the wall, so at the moment, the army had to be firmly held in his hands, which was not a problem for Ning Yu, who had greater merit than Li Er.

To a certain extent, Ning Yu now has a lot of hole cards in his hand, first of all, he launched an anti-Qing uprising as Huaxia Zhengshuo, plus this army was pulled up by him, and the battle was fought by him, and even the only threatening father also chose to take the initiative to abdicate, which is really a manifestation of destiny.

Not to mention Li Er, who made the change of Xuanwumen, even Zhu Chongba, who started with a bowl, is difficult to compare with Ning Yu's status, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point is too low, and many people in the Huaixi Group were colleagues with Zhu Chongba before, plus Chang Yuchun, these Huaixi bigwigs, cannot completely ensure Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute prestige.

"Destiny is impermanent, only the virtuous live in it, this sentence is the source of chaos in the world. What I want to do is to fix this mandate of heaven, in order to avoid this source of chaos, and this constitution is the best carrier, in the name of the constitution, with the people, both inside and outside the court are based on this law, in order to maintain the stability of my great Chu country forever. ”

Ning Yu finally threw out the greatest ambition in his heart, only when everyone in the world thought that the destiny of heaven was unshakable, the Ning family and Da Chu could avoid repeating the mistakes of the past...... And this is also Ning Zhongyuan's greatest pursuit.

Ning Zhongyuan looked at the surging emotions outside, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The award of honors and titles in the army can begin."

At the beginning of February, the Fu Han army took advantage of the current gap in the war to basically cease, and recalled many generals to Wuchang, on the one hand, they wanted to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Ningyu, and on the other hand, it was an important matter related to their own future - the award of medals and titles.

In the current Fuhan Army, the attempt to make medals has already existed, and the response in the army is also very good, but after all, it is in the initial stage and there is no system, so this will introduce a systematic medal, and on the other hand, it will also introduce a military rank system for soldiers and officers in the army to ensure that the upper and lower are respected and orderly.

In the previous time, the Fu Han army was more based on the position of the high and low, but this practice is not accurate and objective enough, so it often causes some problems, and the introduction of the military rank system, not only can clarify the status, responsibility and mutual relationship of the military in the army, but also the honor given by the state to the soldiers, will be subdivided for the current military rank, but also a move to accommodate the hearts of the people.

Of course, this time, the awarding ceremony will be held directly in Wuchang for high-level officers, while the middle- and lower-level officers will be carried out within each division and regiment to avoid confusion caused by army transfers.

Ning Yu wore a clean and tidy military uniform, accompanied by the privy deputy envoy Ning Zhongyi, and walked into the big tent that had been set up long ago, and at this time hundreds of generals and officers had already sat in the tent, in fact, there were many people left in the army, so there was no appearance in this grand ceremony.

Ning Zuyi, Dong Ce, Cheng Ming, Cheng Zhien, Xu Chengliang, Ning Tieshan, Qian Ying, Li Shihu, Yue Lingfeng, Xu Mingyuan and others were already sitting in the tent at this time, and some other middle and low-level generals were also sitting in a row, all of them dressed in neat new-style military uniforms with smiles on their faces.

"The duty of a soldier is to protect his family and defend the country. You are all the elites of my Fuhan Army to the present, and the honors and titles are the testimony of your meritorious achievements in the past few years. Without you, there would be no current Fu Han Army, and there would be no current Great Chu. ”

Ning Yu's face was slightly solemn, he raised his hand and gave a military salute to the officers below in a dignified manner.

"You deserve my Ning Yu's gift!"

The officers of the Fu Han Army sitting below looked a little excited, some of them were veterans of the Eagle Battalion of the Fu Han Army, some were elites from the martial arts hall, and some of the generals who defected from the Qing army, but now they only had one thought in their hearts, what is the death of a soldier for a confidant, this is it.

Compared with the Qing army, the Fu Han army is really very good in treating the low-level officers and soldiers, each person enlists in the army and gives ten acres of military merit fields, and every time he is rewarded for meritorious service, he will also be rewarded with a large amount of land, and in contrast, the Ning family itself does not take much land as their own, and in this regard it is really stronger than the eight banners that entered the customs at the beginning, so everyone is loyal to the Ning family, and it is not a lie.

Of course, the children of the Ning family are not saints, but they all know one thing in their hearts that only by ensuring the army can the wealth of the Ning family be maintained, and the temporary grievances will be rewarded more in the future, so in this regard, the Fu Han army is really much stronger than the Qing army.

"The Ceremony of Honouring and Conferring Begins!"

Ning Yu's current design of this set of medal system, mainly divided into three categories, the first category is the Jiuding Medal, which represents the highest honor of soldiers, which means that to protect Jiuding with blood, can not be obtained unless people who have made great contributions to China, and this kind of medal has not yet been obtained, after all, the current generals of the Fu Han Army, there is really no one with such qualifications.

The second category is the Baoding Medal for ordinary meritorious generals, the Baoding Medal is mainly divided into three classes, the first-class Baoding Medal is mainly to reward the meritorious generals who lead major battles, of course, no one can get it at present, the second-class Baoding Medal is to reward the meritorious generals who lead the general campaign, and the current masters and commanders have obtained this type of medal, as well as Dong Ce and others from the General Staff Office. The third-class Baoding Medal is a reward for meritorious generals in general battles, such as the current deputy division commanders of divisions and the commanders of the main forces.

As for the third category, which is for low-ranking officers and ordinary meritorious soldiers, it is mainly divided into third-class Loyal and Brave Medals, which is not much different from the previous ones, and the medals in this category are expected to be awarded in the thousands throughout the army, so they will not be awarded directly today, but will be awarded by each division and regiment itself.

These medals basically cover the entire current Fu Han Army, and Ning Yu did not add too many medals, which would make the medals depreciate, so it is reasonable to control the number of medals is also a very important means.

Of course, for the meritorious soldiers who have been awarded, Ning Yu is not only given a medal to finish, but also all aspects of treatment that match the medal, and there are political preferential treatment in the fields.

In order to better shape the sense of honor of soldiers, Ning Yu also specially stipulated that the children of those who have meritorious service can be allowed to directly join the Eagle Battalion, and after relevant training, they can directly enter the lecture hall for further study, and they will also have the opportunity to serve as officers in the Fuhan Army in the future.

Ning Yu will not play fairness in this era, as long as he can firmly pinch the hearts of the people of the Fu Han Army in the palm of his hand, what can the benefits of the release be counted? As for those soldiers who have just joined the Fu Han Army, there are really such talented figures, and they also have the opportunity to stand out in the current Fu Han Army system, so it will not affect anything.

In front of so many carrots, the loyalty of the Fu Han army to Ning Yu can naturally be imagined, to put it mildly, even if they commit suicide and martyrdom directly at this time, I am afraid that many people will be willing to do so, because they have already sold their lives to Ning Yu.

Before the medal was issued, Ning Yu also introduced a new military rank system, at present, the Fu Han Army has launched a five-class fourteen-level military rank for generals and officers, divided into marshal, general, school officer, lieutenant officer and non-commissioned officer five, of which the marshal is currently fictitious, there is only one generalissimo of the whole army, by Ning Yu himself, this military rank has very strong requirements, that is, non-royal and Jiuding medal winners, can not receive this rank, after all, in name, the generalissimo of the whole army is currently in command of the entire Fu Han army.

In addition, Ning Yu also specially vacated a military marshal, the purpose of which is naturally to prepare for the future field marshal and naval marshal, of course, the current Fu Han Army, no one can reach this military rank, and it is also in a vacant state at present.

The marshal below is divided into generals, lieutenant generals and major generals, mainly for most of the current generals, among which Ning Zhongyi, as the privy deputy envoy, is currently tentatively awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and the commanders of other divisions are all major generals, like Ning Zuyi, Dong Ce, Xu Chengliang and Ning Si of the Metropolitan Guard Brigade, all of whom were named major generals.

At the bottom is the rank of colonel, which is mainly divided into colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, and major, and these four levels are oriented to the deputy division commanders of each division, the chief of staff, and the regimental commanders, battalion commanders and other middle-level officers, and then the lieutenant officers, which are divided into captains, lieutenants, and second lieutenants, mainly some low-level officers of each company.

In addition to these officers, Ning Yu also proposed to award titles to soldiers for the first time, and specially set up the rank of non-commissioned officer, but everyone was a little surprised.
