Chapter 481: Joining the club is like iron
After the training of the two hundred members of the Martial Mourning Society, they all returned to the various units of the Tiance Army and began to carry out their mission.
These elders, mentors and disciples of the Martial Mourning Society will play the role of the mainstay of the various departments of the Tiance Army, guide the military spirit of the soldiers of each department, let the soldiers know what they are fighting for, and let the soldiers understand the debate of Huayi and understand the glory of being a Ming warrior.
The members of these first batch of mourning societies ranged from high to low, and they may be ordinary soldiers or generals at all levels in the army.
However, in all military units, all officers and soldiers, regardless of military rank, must salute to show respect as long as they see someone from the Martial Mourning Society.
At the same time, Liu Juntao also modified the military uniforms and armor of the members of the Martial Mourning Society, sewing cloth tassels on the shoulders, the armor and military uniforms of the elders were blood red, the teachers were black, and the disciples were white to distinguish them.
Making a distinction in the armor not only allows people to see at a glance that this person is a member of the Martial Mourning Society, and can see the level of the Martial Mourning Society, but also for the members of the Martial Mourning Society, it is also an honor that can make everyone feel that they are different from others.
A few days later, at the suggestion of Hu Dexing, deputy commander-in-chief, Liu Juntao also decided that in the future, all units of the Tiance Army would hold a selection every year, and all soldiers who wanted to join the military mourning society could participate in the selection.
This kind of selection is not an ordinary written examination, but is led by the instructor of the Martial Mourning Society, who observes, inspects, and interviews the soldiers who participate in the selection, and still sends some specific tasks to these soldiers who participate in the selection to complete.
These soldiers who participated in the selection can only enter the Martial Mourning Society and become a disciple of the Martial Mourning Society only after passing all the links.
Of course, in the Martial Mourning Society, if a disciple or mentor level soldier wants to be promoted to a higher level, he must also complete a certain number of difficult tasks, and only after completing a sufficient number of tasks and passing the collective vote of the elders of the Martial Mourning Society, can he be promoted to a higher level.
These tasks used to test everyone are all extraordinary tasks, and they have a huge psychological test for all the soldiers.
In Liu Juntao's words, when the ordinary soldiers of the Tiance Army were unable to pass the test of their own hearts when performing tasks, or when ordinary soldiers were confused and confused about a task and did not know whether it was right or wrong, the members of the Wu Mourning Society were about to appear.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and the same is true of the Tiance Army!
This sentence is what Liu Juntao said to the members of the Wu Mourning Society.
As long as the superior gives an order, the officers and men of the Tiance Army must carry it out, even if this order is wrong, there is no doubt.
Secondly, Liu Juntao has another purpose in setting up the Wu Mourning Society, that is, in the future, once the soldiers of the Tiance Army encounter tough battles and vicious battles, the soldiers of the Wu Mourning Society will be the backbone of the army, just like the party ~ members of later generations, and they must charge ahead and retreat behind.
After the Wu Mourning Society, these members of the Wu Mourning Society did play a huge role in the various armies, and together with the comfort officers who had been in place, they stabilized the morale of the army, and now the incidents of the soldiers of the Tiance Army fighting each other have basically disappeared.
Moreover, the officers and men of all departments were able to grit their teeth and persist under the rigorous training, which also benefited from the guidance of the consolation officers in the army to the officers and soldiers, as well as the leading role of the soldiers of the Martial Mourning Society.
Of course, Liu Juntao also ordered an increase in the salary of the soldiers of the Martial Mourning Society in the army.
Liu Juntao has always believed that the army should be strictly hierarchical, not only in terms of salary and silver, but also in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, so that the officers and men in the army can maintain a high-spirited and enterprising spirit.
If you want to eat well and earn more, you have to pay much more sweat and even blood than others, so that it is fair.
As a result, with Liu Juntao's order, changes began in all units of the Tiance Army, not only did the salaries of generals at all levels and the soldiers of the Wumourning Society increase, and the gap between them widened, but also the food of the generals and soldiers of the Wumourning Society at all levels was also better than that of ordinary soldiers.
Now the ordinary soldiers of the Tiance Army have three meals a day, two taels of meat for lunch, and a bowl of wine for three days.
After this adjustment, the meals of generals at all levels and soldiers of the Martial Mourning Society were changed to meat for lunch and dinner, and the amount of meat and the number of dishes were both higher and larger at the higher the level.
As a result, this system was implemented for less than a month, and the officers and men of all departments of the Tiance Army spontaneously began to go crazy~ drills.
Because after Liu Juntao formulated this hierarchy, he also promulgated a promotion system.
In wartime, there is no need to say more, as long as there are military merits, you can be promoted.
But when there is no battle to fight, the officers and men of the Tiance Army can get the opportunity to be promoted by challenging their direct superiors.
According to Liu Juntao's assumption, any soldier can replace him as long as he can beat his superiors in combat skills, challenge three times, and win two games in three games!
Of course, this mechanism of challenging promotion is limited to the sentry commander and the soldiers below the sentry commander, and after winning the challenge, they must also go through the study of the martial arts hall before they can take office.
Even so, after Liu Juntao's order was issued, all the officers and men of the Tiance Army were boiling, and all the soldiers below the level of sentry commander all began to practice day and night, and no one wanted to lag behind.
With Liu Juntao's series of reforms, the morale of the officers and men of all departments of the Tiance Army has skyrocketed, and the treatment of the officers and men of the Tiance Army has also been greatly improved, making all parts of Shandong extremely yearning for joining the Tiance Army.
So much so that many unmarried women's families are trying their best to marry their daughters to the soldiers of the Tiance Army.
For a time, the officers and men of the Tiance Army became a group of "stars" in various parts of Shandong, and even some scholars aspired to it.
In addition, the military schools in various places that have been put into use one after another, as well as the three higher military schools that are being built in Jinan Prefecture, Yushan Town, Wulie Hall, and Anton Wei Bibo Hall, for a time, the entire Tiance Army is advocating literature and martial arts, and the soldiers have truly achieved the sword killing with one hand and the education of poetry and books with the other!
Tiance Army is like this, and even the people in Shandong are masculine, and the people are also talking about it, and the folk martial arts halls have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Even the military uniforms of the soldiers of the Tiance Army have become the object of imitation by the people, and many tailors have begun to customize clothes similar to the regular uniforms of the soldiers of the Tiance Army.
When Liu Juntao listened to the report of Liu Zi'an, the minister of intelligence, and learned that the situation of the various departments of the Tiance Army at this time had been set off by the people in various parts of Shandong, he was very pleased.
For Liu Juntao, such an atmosphere is the atmosphere that China should have, advocating literature and martial arts, and striving for self-improvement, which is what Daming should promote!
The kind of culture and martial arts, the upper and lower levels are always moaning without disease, and the atmosphere of dancing and writing and making ink will only bring the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of no return, just like the late Ming Dynasty in later generations!
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Juntao will spare no effort to improve the status of the soldiers of the Tiance Army in terms of treatment, clothing and other aspects, and Ning Yuan asked the Ministry of Commerce to spend more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, and he must also do this.
Liu Juntao knew very well in his heart that no matter how strong the Tiance Army was, it would disappear sooner or later, after all, there was no army that would exist forever.
Therefore, Liu Juntao wants to make this atmosphere of advocating literature and martial arts to make the Ming Dynasty strong and unyielding, so that even if one day the Tiance Army does not exist, the Ming Dynasty can still stand tall in the East Pole and stand tall!
It's like a soldier who has entered the martial arts mourning society: the heart of joining the society is like iron!
