Chapter 112: Learn about the new ranks

……………………………………

Finally shocked.

Although he saw the words on the wall of his house, Guo Jia was excited; Although he saw Zhu Dong's thunderous methods, Xun Yu secretly praised it; Although the gentleman who drinks a meal is not a gentleman, a minister is not a minister, it is very unreasonable and has no manners, but there is the familiarity and casualness of an old friend reunion. But Xun Yu and Guo Jia were still stunned by Liu Hanshao's only two words, and looked at him stupidly, puzzled.

Take the palace to exchange land? This business is bigger than his father's! You emperors really know how to play......

The two calves who had not yet grown into big cows stared at Liu Hanshao with a demented expression, just waiting for him to explain the following, who would have thought that Liu Hanshao's painting style would change abruptly, and reprimanded Xun Yu: "Shave your hair tomorrow, wear neat clothes, and report to my brother!" Also, don't make yourself like a sachet all day long, do you think you are the princess of Xiangxiang? ”

How much of a secret is it to exchange the palace for land? Liu Hanshao just has such a whimsical inspiration, and he has no plan at all, how can he continue to talk to them?

Your Majesty can't be a psychopath, right, why is it a little moody?

Xun Yu secretly looked at himself and said secretly: Am I not good to clean up? Look at Liu Hanshao's Han Zhengjun uniform, and said secretly: It's really not so neat! Why do you still have to shave your hair? Didn't Your Majesty make me the emperor's bookkeeper, but the supreme commander's bookkeeper?

Guo Jia gloated on the side and said: "I told you to shave your hair with me a long time ago, you still don't do it, now you are comfortable, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Hanshao squinted his eyes, and Xun Yu immediately said resignedly: "Weichen, obey the edict!" ”

"You, get up, follow my brother!"

Liu Hanshao had already stood up and kicked Guo Jia, who was still lying on the ground.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find you a place to stay, and I'll see you again. As a brother's little fox, Lai eats and drinks at other people's homes, does he have a lot of face? ”

Guo Jia knew that Liu Hanshao had seen his predicament, so he deliberately expressed his concern in this way of roaring, which was quite novel, so he didn't have any hypocrisy, and immediately got up, bent down and followed Liu Hanshao, looking ready to be a dog at any time.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you haven't given me an official yet! What kind of position is the little fox, and what do you do? ”

"What kind of official, let's see how long your baby can jump, in case you don't live for three days, drag it out and feed the dog."

"Don't, living for a day is also living, so I can be an official for a day, so that I can also have a good time!"

"If you want to play, you have to play well, do you think my brother will let you play around?"

Seeing this pair of strange people gradually walking away, Xun Yu sat down on the ground as if deflated, reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and took a long breath, and then suddenly remembered that he didn't send the emperor off, and he couldn't help but feel nervous again.

…………

Maolong Garden, a partial hall somewhere.

Because of the permanent residence of the general class, this is now Liu Hanshao's temporary office. He had once met an old fox here, and now he had brought in a group.

In front of a large rectangular table, on the left sat Xi Zhicai, Gao Jie, and Xun You, and on the right sat Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Xun Yu. They were passing to each other looking at the beveled and parallelogram-shaped small plates in their hands, and Liu Hanshao said that these were epaulettes and collar badges.

The military rank system of later generations varies from country to country, but the benefits are obvious. For example, promoting the regularization of the armed forces and strengthening the coordination of command, management, and support among various services and arms also represent the rank of military personnel, which is combined with the factors of remuneration and position. In addition, the military rank is the honorary title of a soldier, which can enhance the sense of responsibility and honor of a soldier!

This was also Liu Hanshao's original idea of rushing to come up with a set of military rank system, but he planned to use the name "military rank".

Liu Hanshao patted his head and came up with the military rank system, which can be called the fourteenth rank for officers and fourteenth rank for soldiers. First, the "new recruits" are called "privates", then "first-class, second-class, third-class", while veterans are called "sergeants", then "first-class sergeants, second-class sergeants, third-class sergeants...... up to the ninth sergeant".

In fact, regarding the rank of soldiers, Liu Hanshao thinks that he still thinks about it in the long run. One day the battle will be over, and at that time, compulsory soldiers who serve in the military are "soldiers", and it may only be two or three years, while those who voluntarily stay in the army as professional soldiers are "sergeants", which may be many years. Of course, they are also the main force of the army, the most valuable resource.

The fourteenth rank and eighteen ranks of officers are:

Fourth class: brigadier, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant.

Third class: warrant officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, first lieutenant.

Second class: Colonel, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Colonel.

First class: Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, Admiral.

There is no "general" level, lest those warriors associate it with the position of "general" in the late Han Dynasty, and the closer they get, the more they want to climb up.

The soldier's epaulettes are the simplest, with a red background and black edges for privates, a black vertical bar for the first class and two for the second class; The sergeant is a red background with a yellow edge, and the first-class sergeant draws a yellow vertical bar, and the second-class two, but when it reaches the third-class, it will become a yellow vertical bar twice as thick, the fourth-class one thick and one thin, the fifth-class one thick and two thin, the sixth-class two thick, and so on, even if it is a ninth-level sergeant, it only needs three thick bars.

The brigadier epaulette is yellow on a black background, with a thin yellow horizontal line in the middle, and the minor, middle, and sergeant add stars to it respectively. The warrant officer's epaulettes are also yellow-edged on a black background, but there are only two horizontal lines, and the warrant colonel is three horizontal lines. Starting from the brigadier general, it is a yellow background with gold edges, and this "edge" has a floral pattern, like a small branch like a branch.

The "four quasi" epaulettes are all only bars and no stars, and the stars used in military ranks at all levels are also different, "non-commissioned officer" triangular diamond star, "lieutenant" four-pointed diamond star, "school officer" five-pointed diamond star, "general" six-pointed diamond star. However, the general's hexagonal rhombus is not called a star, but a "general"!

Therefore, one bar and one star are a sergeant, three bars and four stars are colonels, and those who carry flowers on their shoulders are generals, which are simple and clear and easy to identify.

Holding the epaulettes in his hand, Cao Cao secretly thought: Finish, I used to want to be a general of the expedition to the west, but now it seems that even if I can enlist in the army, I can only be a "flower general" at most......

The collar badge only represents the military branch, for example, if you are an archer, you draw a bow and arrow; He is a sword and shield hand, and he draws a sword and shield; If it's a pikeman, draw a spear.

If you want to say that it is still the superintendent, staff officer, and the collar badge that needs to be prepared, it is the most bizarre, such as the larger "X, H, U", but Liu Hanshaofei said that it is a ring knife, a telescope and a rice bowl. The telescope could not be said to be a telescope, so Liu Hanshao had no choice but to talk nonsense in a serious manner again, saying that staff officers should first see far and hear far, and both were indispensable, and finally synthesize intelligence and analyze the enemy's situation, so he drew two vertical lines and one horizontal line. And the "U" that needs to be prepared, to be honest, really painting a rice bowl on it, it doesn't seem to be very beautiful.

Compared with the trouble of commentary, it is really not easy to make these seemingly simple things. Xingxing is good to say, the use of "stamping technology", in fact, is to put a small copper sheet in the mold for the craftsmen to smash out, anyway, the copper is relatively soft, and it is not too laborious to smash it. But the fine pattern can't be smashed like this, whether it is cast or silk embroidery, it will become a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and huge project. parentheses, which is also the reason why there is no cockade on the military cap of the Han Zhengjun.

Liu Hanshao asked Cai Yan for help, and according to the method of stick figures in later generations, he drew the simplest and most recognizable figures, and then carved out the template to print and dye it. As for whether it will fade, it can only be applied to see if it needs to be improved, and how to study and improve.

…………

Liu Hanshao sighed for a long time, and finally explained the epaulettes and collar badges one by one, thinking that everyone would cheer and say a few words "Your Majesty is wise".

Pity...... Not really.

Several people fell into deep thought, some of them could still be more and more happy the more they thought about it, and some of them became more and more worried the more they thought about it.

"Commander!"

Because the meeting was held in the Maolong Garden, although it was not a military camp, there was a class of generals, so Gao Jie called Liu Hanshao "commander", because Liu Hanshao once said, "There is no emperor in the army, only the commander!" It seems that he took Liu Hanshao's words and sentences as holy decrees and put them in his heart.

I only heard Gao Jie say: "This move is like the military merit system of the pre-Qin Dynasty, although it can inspire soldiers and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions at the beginning, it also has many drawbacks, and there are endless troubles in the future." First, with the advancement of military merits, generals will want to fight constantly, and it is inevitable that they will be reckless; Second, they will be rewarded for their military merits, given a fief, exempt from tax and exempt from service, and more and more soldiers will be rewarded in the future, but I am afraid that there will be no land to reward and no taxes to collect; Third, the head of the merit is easy to kill the good and take the merit, and even lead to the chaos of fighting for merit and fighting each other, corrupting military discipline, and being bad and difficult to cure! ”

Gao Jie's throat was smoked, and he usually doesn't like to talk much, but at this moment he can express his worries bluntly, completely out of public heart. What is even more valuable is that as the deputy commander of the Han Zheng Army, he spoke with an obvious tendency to "control the force", which shows his sincerity to Liu Hanshao.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the military merit system of the Qin State was used, but later the society was stable, there was no war to fight, and the country needed civil governance, and the wealthy literati took the opportunity to suppress the martial artists and regain power, and gradually declined.

In fact, there is another drawback of the military merit system, there were very few professional soldiers at that time, and most of the soldiers were ordinary people who were recruited for battle. "Pick up knives and guns, kill people and receive merit, put down knives and guns, and farm to support your family." The people have taken killing people as the norm of life, and there is no difference between hunting and killing chickens. It's like Dong Zhuo, he goes out for a walk, has nothing to do to kill a group of people to play, and can pretend that he has made meritorious contributions.

Previously, when explaining the new military ranks, Liu Hanshao said that "everyone can make meritorious contributions, and everyone can receive awards", so Gao Jie linked this set with the military merit system as a warning.

A few people present, some shook their heads, some nodded, but Cao Cao secretly looked at the ugly and terrifying Gao Jie, and secretly praised: It is worthy of being a strong festival, my model!

I saw Liu Hanshao shaking his head and waving his hand and said, "Our military rank is not that thing. Let's reward the merit or the land, and win regardless of the head! ”
