Chapter 137: One More Move
His fortune is different from any one of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, and he is a warlord of the grass king, what else does he rely on if he doesn't rely on the army! Thinking of this, Jin Liang's heart gushed with incomparable pride: "Those princes and magnates of those big families, which one puts the emperor of the Han family in his eyes, for the majesty of the imperial power of the Han family, I want to conquer one by one to declare the great Han Mingwei, as a result, wars are frequent, and the old tradition of hereditary military positions based on family origin is destined to die, and it is replaced by a new system of obtaining officer positions according to military achievements."

However, those officers from poor civilian backgrounds who were selected to be selected, because they did not have a title to mark their personal status, and their honor, status and treatment were not recognized, so they could not raise their heads in front of those big families, just like me before, I felt inferior to them in front of Yuan Shao, and I no longer allow this kind of thing to happen!
From this day forward, I will establish a rank corresponding to the rank of those officers of civilian origin, to affirm that their status is equal to or even superior to that of the hereditary nobles! I let people all over the world understand that the rank of a soldier is an honor, a right, much better than family origin, and what is respected is that military merit is a battle record, and it is no longer a bullshit ancestral family! ”
Chen Lin's face turned pale, and he forcibly persuaded: "The lord said that those officers do not have a title to mark their personal identity, this is not true, don't we have a knighthood?" The first level is called the public scholar, the second is made, the three hairpins are curled, the four are not changed, the five doctors, the six official doctors, the seven public doctors, and the eight public passengers. Ninety-five doctors. Ten left long. Eleven right long, 12 left watch, 13 middle change, 14 right change, 15 less up, 16 up, 17 car long, 18 big long. Nineteen levels of marquis, twenty liehous. ”
Jin Liang looked in the direction of Luoyang and said indignantly: "Except for Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and a few others who were knighted for their military merits, the rest of the officers are still knighted?!" The first emperor sold the official mantle, who did the title sold, all those rich and powerful families, to this step of the field, basically the title is equivalent to the ancestral family, those civilian generals who shed blood for the Han have almost all been forgotten! ”
Speaking of this, Jin Liang shook his head. He was ashamed to say: "I am a martial artist, and I have no reputation." can't control the government and politics, nor can he control the unreasonable unhealthy tendencies in the world, but he rarely cares about military merits for this title, and he has no way, and he can't set up private titles for the generals under his command. The plan for the present is to set up this military rank, firstly, to use the military rank to fairly evaluate the military achievements, highlight the honorary status of the soldiers, and to stimulate the morale of the soldiers, and secondly, to clarify the command relationship in the army, once a number of armies that are not subordinate to each other want to cooperate with each other, they will be commanded by the person with the highest rank; Third, it can enhance the sense of responsibility of soldiers, and soldiers with military ranks will naturally be more attentive than soldiers without military ranks if they are worthy of the military rank on their shoulders.
Moreover, the establishment of the military rank system, there are also ancient books for reference, "Zhou Li-Xia Guan Sima" once said, "A hundred people are pawns, and the chief of the pawns are all sergeants." Twenty-five people were two, and both Sima were sergeants. Five people are in a team, and they all have strengths. The sergeants and sergeants inside look like knighthoods, but they actually play a role in the ranks. ”
Jin Liang's words clearly reached the ears of the hundreds of generals present, most of these generals were from civilian backgrounds, and they were thunderous when they heard this, and they were grateful to Dade and more loyal to Jin Liang for thinking about them so carefully.
Jin Liang then announced the military rank system: "There are five military ranks: soldier, samurai, captain, captain, and general. The ranks are divided into quasi-soldiers, column soldiers, middle soldiers, upper soldiers, and great soldiers, and there are no epaulettes on their clothes, only embroidered with accurate, column, middle, upper, and large characters; The ranks are divided into quasi-samurai, column samurai, middle samurai, upper samurai, and great samurai, and the clothes are embroidered with iron sword stars on horse shoulders; The rank of lieutenant is divided into quasi-lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant, lieutenant, and grand lieutenant, and his clothes are embroidered with leopard shoulders and bronze sword stars; The school rank is divided into quasi-captain, lieutenant lieutenant, lieutenant colonel, colonel lieutenant, and senior colonel, and the clothes are embroidered with lion shoulders and silver sword stars; The ranks are divided into quasi-generals, column generals, lieutenant generals, generals, and generals, and the clothes are embroidered with tiger shoulders and gold sword stars. ”
Gao Shun immediately asked a question: "Will the positions originally appointed by the imperial court such as captains, captains, lieutenant generals, and generals all be abolished?" ”
Jin Liang shook his head: "The original appointment will not be canceled, and those appointed by the imperial court now and in the future will not be affected by this military rank, because it is a military position given by the imperial court, we are discussing the military rank, which is used within our Central Army, and there is no correspondence between the two. ”
Zhang Liao asked again: "How to determine the military position, how to determine the military rank, please make it clear to the lord." ”
Jin Liang smiled: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, these are the questions I will talk about soon." First of all, determine the internal military position, this is very simple, for example, you turned out to be a lieutenant of the ministry, which is the external military position that was reported to the imperial court and let other princes know, and the real corresponding internal military position of the Central Army is the commander of the Fourth Division of the First Army of the Central Army, and so on. ”
Zhang Liao nodded: "The last general understands, so how to determine our military rank?" ”
Jin Liang replied: "The internal military rank is related to the military rank, and each military rank corresponds to the third-class military rank: the commander corresponds to the samurai, the middle samurai, and the upper samurai; The two chiefs correspond to the samurai, the great samurai, and the brigadier lieutenant; The captain corresponds to the brigadier lieutenant, the lieutenant lieutenant, and the lieutenant lieutenant; The battalion commander corresponds to the lieutenant lieutenant, the captain of the upper capital, and the lieutenant of the majority; The brigade commander corresponds to the lieutenant, brigadier, and lieutenant colonel; Division commanders correspond to lieutenant colonels, colonels, and colonels; The commander corresponds to the colonel, brigadier general, and general. The rank of the deputy position is one level lower than that of the main position, such as your deputy Qin Yi, whose military rank corresponds to the lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel, and colonel lieutenant.
In this way, Wen Yuan's initial military rank should be lieutenant colonel lieutenant, you killed the thief Kou Hucai, and led the subordinates to break the Black Mountain thieves, according to the original system, you have to be promoted to the military position, but because the money, food, and people are not in place now, you can only be the commander for the time being, so that you can make compensation in the military rank, you should have been promoted to a colonel and captain, but because you lost the Jiguan, the merits and demerits are offset. Therefore, it will not be promoted. Still lieutenant colonel. And do you understand now? Zhang Liao nodded gloomily.
Jin Liang looked back at Gao Shun: "Zhongping, you have made great contributions to leading the camp these few times, and you have been promoted to military marshal, commanding the second army of the Central Army, and your military rank is captain, how about it?" ”
Gao Shun thanked Jin Liang for the reward, but he was puzzled: "The lord set up the battalion as a first-class combat unit, with 500 people. Then my trap camp has 2,000 men, and it should be called the trap brigade, my lord, should I change this name? ”
Jin Liang shook his head: "No need, in fact, the brigade can also be called a large battalion, and the battalion is a small battalion, and there are four battalions under your brigade, all of which are trapped camps, and together they are also called trapped camps. ”
Xu Huang asked anxiously, "My lord." What should be the rank and rank of me and my men? I'm commanding the Shanyue Barbarian cavalry, are they going to enter this system too? ”
Jin Liang nodded in affirmation: "In the future, regardless of the ethnic group." Regardless of background, regardless of background, as long as you are willing to obey the Han Dynasty and agree with the brand of our Central Army, as long as you are incorporated into the Central Army, you will use your internal military positions and ranks. The 2,000 Shanyue barbarian cavalry under your command were incorporated into the Fifth Brigade of the First Division, and you served as the brigade commander, because you had the merit of killing Yang Feng, the head of the White Wave thief, and were promoted from the original Dadu Lieutenant to the warrant lieutenant, as for the Shanyue Barbarian Cavalry under your command, it turned out that they were all newly promoted and surrendered, and they all started from the quasi-soldiers. ”
Xu Huang's question reminded Jin Liang, and he turned to Zhang Liao and said: "The Baibo thief soldiers under your command are also newly recruited, and they all have no combat merits, and they all started from quasi-soldiers. ”
Xu Huang and Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.
Zhang Jaw stood out and asked, "The lord just mentioned the sword star on his shoulder, what is the use of this sword star?" ”
Jin Liang said with a smile: "This is used to distinguish between high and low ranks." As I said earlier, there are no epaulettes on the armor and robes of the soldiers, but only the words "Quasi", "Column", "Middle", "Upper", and "Large"; The non-commissioned officer's robe was embroidered with a pegasus, and the epaulettes had an iron sword star; The captain's robe was embroidered with a clouded leopard, and the epaulettes had bronze sword stars; The officer's robe was embroidered with a war lion, and the epaulette had a silver sword star; The general's robe was embroidered with a flying tiger, and the epaulette had a gold sword star.
Let's talk about this sword star, the sword refers to the horizontal bar in the shape of a sword, a sword is accurate, two swords are in the middle, and so on, and the star refers to the pattern of the shape of the five-pointed star, from one star to five stars to distinguish the qualifications of the soldiers, if there is a military merit but not enough to promote the rank, you can be promoted to a star star, such as a meritorious escort, but compared with the soldiers who fought in front of you, the merit is not enough to promote the rank, you can be promoted to two stars as appropriate. ”
Chen Lin asked, "Then how should your military rank be determined?" ”
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Since my military position is tentatively set as the commander of the First Army of the Central Army, then my corresponding military rank should be a one-star captain." ”
Chen Lin shook his head: "The lord has become the general of Zhengnan, so he can no longer use the rank of captain, although it is used internally, but it will also be misunderstood, in my opinion, it is better to temporarily set the general's rank as lieutenant general, because the future establishment of the Central Army is by no means only two armies and 80,000 people." Other generals have also been asking Jin Liang to at least receive the rank of lieutenant general.
So, Jin Liang took himself a one-star lieutenant general. Now that the military system has been changed and military ranks have been established, Jin Liang decided to drastically transform the Central Army and make the Central Army his biggest help standing at the top of the Three Kingdoms.
Jin Liang thought that he had seen the success of the military and government in the age of information technology in his previous life, so he smiled and said: "I want to set up a military officer in a combat unit above the team level to be responsible for the military aircraft and ideological education. ”
Chen Lin was puzzled: "What is ideological education work? ”
Jin Liang smiled at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you also listen well." This ideological education work is the 'brainwashing' I mentioned to you last time, and it is not the heart that dominates people's thinking, but the brain. ”
Guo Jia and Chen Lin both nodded: "We have all heard about it. ”
The well-informed Chen Lin also quoted scriptures and said: "Su Wen? The pulse should be subtle" said: 'The head, the shrewd house. The shrewd, so look at all things, don't be black and white, judge the short and the long. "Spring and Autumn Yuan Life Bud" said: "The head is the dwelling place of God." The upper circle is like the sky, and the house of air is also. So, it's the brain, not the mind, that thinks about things. ”
Jin Liang nodded, then chuckled: "Since it is the human brain that is responsible for thinking about things, once people think about things wrong or are educated wrong by others' wrong concepts, we must strive to replace the wrong things in their heads with the right things, just like washing off the dirt with clean water." That's why it's called brainwashing. ”
Jin Conscience smiled in his heart. I'm not going to tell you. The true meaning of brainwashing is to use all means to instill wrong and false understandings and ideas that are in line with one's own interests to others.
Guo Jia exclaimed: "In this way, Sage Confucius taught three thousand disciples and taught them Confucianism, which is also brainwashing?" ”
Jin Liang held back the smile in his heart and nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”
In fact, Dong Zhongshu's "deposing the Confucianism of a hundred schools" is a bit like brainwashing.
Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case." ”
Jin Liang continued to elaborate: "In addition to the military aircraft of the counselor, the army is also responsible for telling all the soldiers below three things and why they are fighting. For whom to fight and how. Why fight, not only for the sake of monetary rewards, increase of officials and knighthood, glory and wealth, but also to further teach the soldiers to fight for the country, honor, mission, and faith; For whom they fight, they must not just fight for the sake of marrying wives and concubines, feeding their parents, and feeding their children, but must continue to teach them to fight for the lord, the main general, the comrades-in-arms, the fathers and elders of their hometowns, the gods of faith, and the descendants of all generations; How to fight, it is necessary to educate them how to fight intelligently, and within the limits of military discipline and discipline, to kill and injure the captured enemy to the greatest extent and minimize their own losses. It also includes boosting morale during hard training. ”
Seeing that Guo Jia and Chen Lin were at a loss when they heard this, Jin Liang laughed and said, "You don't need to do it all at once. Let's take the long term and take our time. However, all of this requires the full support of both of you. ”
Guo Jia and Chen Lin bowed and saluted: "I am willing to listen to the Lord's dispatch." ”
Jin Liang set up two battalions in the Flying Tiger Army directly under him, one called the teaching battalion and the other called the Xuanfu battalion. The training camp is actually a mobile military school, comparable to the Whampoa Military Academy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, all the non-commissioned officers with command potential, the grass-roots officers who are ready to be promoted, and the new generals are temporarily organized in the training camp.
This training camp has been following Jin Liang, deeply influenced by Jin Liang, Jin Liang every night to all the staff of the training camp, in addition to brainwashing, but also teaching ancient and modern military cases, and even the classic cases after the Three Kingdoms changed the characters of the times, and taught the soldiers of the training camp in the mode of storytelling. In non-war times, in addition to Jin Liang, military advisors such as Sima Hui, Hu Zhao, Guo Jia, and Chen Lin and other major generals would also come to attend classes. Moreover, after every major battle, all the commanders and generals at and above the battalion level of the army would come to the teaching battalion to observe and listen to Jin Liang and other military divisions and major generals analyze the battle situation, talk about how to avoid previous mistakes, and how to expand the results of the battle on the existing basis.
All generals, especially those who have surrendered, surrendered, recruited, and promoted, must be recruited or audited in Jinliang's training camp for three to six months in the absence of an emergency military situation, and after cultivating sufficient loyalty and common values, generals above the team level must be interviewed by Jin Liang, and only after passing can they be sent to the team below to take charge of themselves, and then they must gather together regularly and then do brainwashing exercises.
The Xuanfu camp is also a mobile military school, and all the people who are suitable for being staff officers and political commissars are incorporated into this battalion, of course, Jin Liang is not willing to call them political commissar instructors, because those two titles are too vulgar, Jin Liang called it joining the army, mixing the work of staff officers and political commissars, and pressing on the shoulders of these people, Jin Liang still finds time to give them lessons every day, but each class time does not exceed two quarters of an hour, which is about the same as the class time of the teaching camp, and the rest of the time there are Sima Hui, Hu Zhao, Chen Lin, Guo Jia and others to give them lessons, They also participated in the battle, but more time was spent as the propaganda team of the Flying Tiger Army, once Jin Liang led the army to occupy a place, they pasted notices in the streets and alleys of the city, telling the system of the Central Army, and at the same time supervising the military discipline of each army, yes, Jin Liang found that the intellectuals in his hands were scarce, so he added another burden to the army, supervising military discipline. Three or six months after the soldiers in the Xuanfu battalion were assigned, they had to go through interviews with Jin Liang and other high-level leaders, and only after passing the interviews could they be sent to units at all levels to take up the post of joining the army. Of course, Xuanyuan Xue also gave Jin Liang a few tasks.
Every morning, he made a speech to the whole army, telling about the ideas of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, such as Zeng Guofan's regiment training the Hunan army, such as Yuan Shikai's small station training, and the chairman of the Huangpu Military Academy, those ideas are all talked about every year, every month, every week, and every day, and the lie repeated a thousand times is the truth, not to mention that what Jin Liang said is not all lies, and many of them are related to the vital interests of the soldiers and soldiers.
Every time the food and salary are distributed, they are personally present, and they are personally distributed to the generals above the battalion level, such as when Yuan Shikai was training at the small station, someone shouted: "Who gave us food?" "Yuan Gongbao!" "For whom do we die!" "Yuan Gongbao!" Although Jin Liang didn't dare to be so naked, he also had to be subtle, so that the soldiers below could understand that it was definitely not the illusory son of heaven who could give them wealth and give them a future, but Jin Liang.
Eat with the soldiers every time, and strive to remember every soldier like Napoleon, and later Jin Liang found that he did not have such a strong memory, so he retreated to the next best, remember every general above the team level, as long as they are grateful to themselves, the more than 100 people under them will not deviate from virtue to themselves.
