However, it was only a few days of work, and a brocade box was sent to the government office.

When he was sent to Zhu Mingzhong, he was discussing with Qian Lei, Wu Pinhong, Qu Dajun and others about the implementation of the "A Soldier System." After all, now that the Loyal and Righteous Army has gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei, it is even more inevitable to implement the "A Soldier System."

Some people advocate the immediate implementation of the "armor system" by taking advantage of the great victory, while others advocate that the armor should be protected first, and then the armor should be implemented. In short, each has its own reason, but it is also controversial for a while. The reason why everyone insists on their own views is very simple, because the "first-class military system" is a matter of great importance, involving millions of people in Jiangbei and also involving the future of Jiangbei, so they cannot afford not to be cautious.

Zhu Mingzhong, who knew that the "armor system" was a matter of great importance, did not make a decision immediately, and the more the truth was debated, the clearer it became, and it was not a bad thing for everyone to debate for a while longer, but it was necessary to control the rhythm. lest this debate turn into a dispute, into a contradiction between the two sides.

So after the brocade box was delivered, Zhu Mingzhong directly took this opportunity to change the topic.

Looking at the medal in the box, although it is not ingenious, but it is also very exquisite, the corners of Zhu Mingzhong's lips are slightly raised, and a bright smile overflows on his face,

Honor!

Compared with the ancients, Zhu Mingzhong believed in honor more, and the combat effectiveness of an army with a sense of honor was by no means comparable to that of mercenaries stimulated by money.

And what can represent honor?

Medal!

There is nothing more appropriate than a medal, not only because of its cheapness, but because of its special meaning, which makes it bear a special honor, almost a symbol of military glory.

After all, it is the nature of "a good name", and wealth does not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes at night. Chinese people are equally famous, and they will also be fascinated by the special meaning contained in the medal.

After all, compared to any other reward. A medal is something that can be worn on the body and can be seen by everyone as long as they see their medal. You will understand what they have done. can let them show their merits in front of everyone.

The medal in the box is a cloisonné cloisonné object with a copper tire, which looks very ordinary, but it was designed by Zhu Mingzhong himself, and he knows that this seemingly ordinary cloisonné medal only needs to pass a piece of paper to give it a different meaning, so as to make it a symbol of honor.

It was a little too late. Luckily, it's not too late! It's still too late. In fact, it is best to issue this kind of medal during the Battle of Suqian, after all, the iron should be struck while it is hot. But it's okay now, and it's too late to distribute it now.

"Okay, let's put the "A Soldier System" first, no matter when it is implemented, slowly we can always discuss a result, it just so happens that a few days ago I ordered people to send the whole Yangzhou system of things......"

With the medal in his hand, Zhu Mingzhong, who interrupted the debate, smiled.

"Look at this "medal"! ”

Taking the medal from Jing Liu's hand, Qian Lei asked with some puzzlement.

"Jinglu, what is this?"

"The medal, hence the name, is a medal that shows meritorious service, and this medal is the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery, which is to commend the soldiers of our loyal and righteous army for their courage to kill the enemy!"

Seeing that everyone had a somewhat puzzled expression, Zhu Mingzhong, who understood that the Chinese people of this era did not have any understanding of medals, explained with a smile.

"You see that the center of this medal of loyalty and courage is a picture of the samurai, surrounded by light, symbolizing that the winner of this medal, in order to defend the country, to be loyal to the imperial court, such as the ancient samurai, the head can be broken, the knot is unyielding, the light of loyalty and courage is shining, and the people admire it. Awarded the ...... to soldiers who defended against foreign aggression, fought bravely, did not retreat from wounds, or commanded battles in the face of danger, and thus won the battle"

This medal is the "Order of Loyalty". In the medal system formulated by Zhu Mingzhong, it is a universally issued medal, and almost every soldier who participated in the Battle of Suqian can get him.

Of course, this universal award. It also has a specific meaning, not just to recognize the sacrifices of those soldiers on the battlefield. It is also to highlight their bravery and promote their military exploits. Explaining the meaning of the awarding of the "Medal of Loyalty and Bravery", Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"The reason why the medal was awarded is to commend the loyalty and courage of my loyal and righteous soldiers, don't underestimate this small medal, this medal symbolizes the honor of the soldier and proves his meritorious service to the country!"

Maybe these people present don't know what the medal is, but they only need to listen to the scripture and understand the purpose of the medal immediately.

"Oh, then this medal, isn't it similar to the "Danshu Iron Scroll"? ”

Wu Pinhong looked at the medal in his hand with some curiosity, this medal looked very exquisite, completely different from the imaginary "Danshu Iron Scroll", but he muttered in his heart, will this be a bit overstepping?

Almost a subconscious thought, Wu Pinhong felt that this medal seemed to be a little similar to the iron scroll of the Nadan book. And his reminder made the faces of the others change slightly.

"Danshu Iron Scroll?"

Muttering these four words to himself, Qu Dajun's eyebrows raised slightly, and his face instantly showed a hint of strangeness. His expression also became complicated.

The so-called "Danshu Iron Coupon" refers to a kind of privilege certificate awarded by the ancient emperor to meritorious heroes and important ministers, and it is also what the people often call the "free death card", which has been available since the Han Dynasty and has been further improved in the Ming Dynasty. And Zhu Mingzhong is just a Jianghuai envoy, so naturally he can't award the "Danshu Iron Scroll".

Of course, they are not only thinking about the passover, they are also thinking about who the medal is for? To whom?

"Danshu Iron Scroll?"

Wu Pinhong's words made Zhu Mingzhong stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"How can it be compared with the "Danshu Iron Scroll", the "Danshu Iron Scroll" is awarded by the ministers who have been named the duke, marquis, and uncle, and the medal awarded is a meritorious soldier, regardless of his official position, as long as he is my loyal and righteous officers and soldiers, as long as he has fought bravely on the battlefield, he can be awarded according to military merits, this medal is not a card to avoid death, but ......"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Mingzhong said slowly,

"It is only a symbol of the honor of his military service, and if he dies in battle, this medal will also be awarded to his family in recognition of his contribution to the country."

Honor!

For soldiers, the medal means honor, maybe they don't know this now, but Zhu Mingzhong, who has hundreds of years of insight beyond the times, knows very well that for soldiers, the meaning of the medal is priceless, especially when the situation in which the country passes the law gives the medal a special meaning.

Especially for those young people. They are even more famous, a medal that can show their military exploits, and even worth the incentive brought by a reward of dozens of taels.

"Oh, I see, this move will definitely make the loyal and righteous army feel the grace of the strategy!"

After understanding that this medal was completely different from the "Danshu Iron Coupon", but it was only a "plaque" used to commend ordinary soldiers, Qu Dajun and others did not say anything against it.

In their opinion, such recognition is undoubtedly cost-effective and inexpensive. It's just an ordinary "card", that's all, it's not a big deal.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhu Mingzhong, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.

"In fact, in addition to honor, this medal is also a symbol and a symbol of status for soldiers, and those who receive this medal can be exempted from conscription for life......"

Although in the "A Military System," it is stipulated that military families are exempt from conscription during their service, but it is limited to the "period of service," and now that this medal is conferred, they will be "exempted from conscription" for life. Doesn't that mean that as long as those who serve in the army get this medal? Is it equivalent to a scholar who has gained fame and become a talent?

It's almost a knee-jerk rejection mentality. Suddenly, it surged out in the heart of the big guy. After all, they who claim to be scholars, deep down, always have some contempt for those soldiers.

"It is very good to understand this method, if there is no soldier of my loyal army to kill the enemy bravely, how can I rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and those who oppose military merit will be exempted from conscription, of course!"

Qian Lei, who once presided over the Military Payroll Bureau and was responsible for the bereaved family's pension, immediately spoke out to express his approval, he had witnessed the grief of those people, and of course he could understand the idea of giving them some care as much as possible, after all, their families were loyal to the country and paid for their lives. Qian Lei's approval made those who originally intended to oppose think about it a little in their hearts, but they also expressed their approval.

"Well, exactly! If there is no preferential treatment for soldiers who serve their lives on the battlefield and make military contributions for the country, how can they be worthy of the blood they shed for the country? ”

Nodding in agreement, Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"In addition to being exempt from forced labor, there will also be other preferential treatments, such as some legal benefits, after his retirement, when the local officials pass the court, he can sit in the court, and then he will not be sentenced to prison......"

If it was said that everyone was not very resistant to the "exemption from conscription" before, then now, when they heard these legal preferences, their faces all changed, and they even immediately did not hesitate to speak out and oppose it, after all, in their opinion, this is equivalent to putting soldiers and scholars side by side, and it is naturally impossible for them to accept the little care they have received after ten years of hardship, so easily let that group of vulgar soldiers also enjoy it. And when everyone was shocked, Wu Pinhong almost immediately lost his voice.

"Jingluo, this matter must not be allowed, please also consider it in the long run......"
