125th Military Reform (II)
Then the rank exists in name only, and all kinds of complicated and incomprehensible recognition flags, from the general army down, the general flags of each deputy general and staff general are also different. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not only are there no obvious signs between military schools at all levels, but there is also no distinction between artillery, cavalry, bird-fired soldiers, and other military branches, and even the flags used for command are not quite the same among battalions.
This is still the result of Qi Jiguang's sorting out, and the military department is also improved according to Qi Jiguang's rules, which shows how chaotic the camp system of the Ming Dynasty is, and the green battalion military system of the Qing court is the improved version of the Ming Dynasty's military system, and the military system reform is ahead of the Ming Dynasty.
At present, Jiangbei and Jiangxi are vigorously rectifying, dismantling, and reorganizing the armed forces, and the specific battalion system has not yet been determined, and it is an excellent opportunity to reform the military system.
Zhu Youhua discussed this matter with dozens of important ministers of the cabinet and the military and other ministries for three days in light of the current situation, and finally drafted a plan to carry out a series of reforms to the titles of the Ming Dynasty, the ranks of military generals, the battalion system, military positions, banner orders, and so on.
First of all, the title of the Ming Dynasty, the different surnames of the Ming Dynasty are: Gong, Hou, Uncle, all three ranks, in order to seal the meritorious heroes and relatives, all have a good life. The meritorious heroes will be given iron coupons, and the title will be fourth: Zuo Taizu will set the world, and he will be said to be the founder of the country and the auxiliary luck; From Chengzu to the army, it is said that it is difficult to push sincerity from Fengtianjing; Yu said that Fengtian Yiyun pushed sincerity, and said Fengtian Yiwei pushed sincerity. The military minister said that the military minister of Xuanli was a military minister, and the civil minister said that he was a civil minister.
The new Ming Rank is no longer a simple duke, marquis, and earl, in view of the fact that there are many marquis and earls in the army, so it cannot simply be revoked, and the title is sent out, it cannot be withdrawn casually, otherwise the reputation of the court will not exist, which is not conducive to the stability of the army. It's just that if there are only three titles of dukes and earls and it seems too few, the prince should be more cautious in rewarding, except in special circumstances, not to the living, generally posthumously gifted.
The imperial court is about to have a decisive battle with the Tartars, and the generals will have many opportunities to make meritorious contributions.
Zhu Youhua Junchen expanded the title from the third level of the prince and the prince to the ninth level, from the highest to the bottom of the prince, the prince of the county, the prince of the country, the prince of the county, the marquis of the county, the marquis of the county, the county uncle, the son of the county, and the male of the county. The new title is not tied to the rank of the official.
Among them, the prince is the exclusive lord of the royal family, and those who have no royal blood shall not be awarded, and the prince of the county is the highest honor of civil and military officials, and those who have not made great contributions to the dynasty are not awarded, and the two lords of the county and the prince of the country are the unique titles of meritorious heroes, and the children of the clan who have no great merits shall not inherit.
Considering that the Qing army was about to go south, and the war was about to break out, the Ming Dynasty could not mess up by itself, and needed a stable and united interior, so the subject and object of this reform were temporarily limited to military ministers and military affairs, and the treatment of the clan remained unchanged, the treatment of honors and nobles remained unchanged, and the treatment of scholars and scholars remained unchanged.
There are three kinds of titles: knighthood, hereditary and hereditary replacement, the liujue is withdrawn from generation to generation, the hereditary succession is reduced from generation to generation, and the hereditary revocation can be passed on from generation to generation, and the country is retired. The title is the nature of honor, there is no real power to govern the people, according to the different levels, there are some corresponding privileges, there are also some public privileges, such as the title in the body, the entrance examination can be given priority, the commander does not kneel to the minister, can face the Emperor Chen, etc., there are different amounts of land, and the reward is not to split the soil, not to divide the grass is the principle, and the meritorious civil and military officials can be rewarded, which is different from the ancestral system of conferring military and not awarding literature. The reform of this system was a great benefit to the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so the emperor's proposal was unanimously approved by the cabinet ministers almost without the slightest resistance.
The marquis who has been sealed out is automatically listed as a county marquis, and the earl is automatically listed as a county marquis, the treatment remains the same, and there are even additional privileges, and the new title system of the fifth class and eight levels has left them enough room for promotion. After the Zhangwu Dynasty, a new batch of nobles was sealed, such as the four towns of Jiangbei and the like, who also died and fell, and there were only a few left. The total number of nobles has always been controlled within a certain range, not too much and not too little, while stabilizing the imperial power, trying to minimize the impact on the social order.
The Ming Dynasty has always been cautious about the reward of the title, in the original history even when the official position of the Longwu Dynasty was flooded, the title was still not flooded, there were still not many military ministers with titles in the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were earls, and only a few people who got the title of marquis Li Guo, Gao Yigong and Zheng Zhilong of Fujian.
Among them, Zheng Zhilong was also imprisoned by the Qing court and went to Beijing. In history, the title of Daming began to flood to the late Yongli period, at that time, not to mention that the Duke of the Kingdom was all over the street, and even the prince of one word was sealed out of several, that was also forced to be really helpless, but unfortunately no matter how high the title is, it is just a dying struggle, and it cannot save the gradually losing national fortune.
Following the title, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty have also been readjusted, linked to the rank, as a sustenance, the rank is the embodiment of seniority and merit, similar to the modern military rank. The purpose of rebuilding the scattered rank system is to determine the specific rank of military ministers, clarify the dignity and inferiority, and facilitate command and dispatch.
At the same time, the loose ranks were separated from the military ranks, and in order to facilitate the rectification of the local armed forces and reduce resistance, the middle and high-ranking generals and colonels who had been dismissed from their military posts were given loose ranks of corresponding ranks. The price of moderate reform is to break the bank, and you have to have money to implement it. If the center has no money, it will rectify the garrison troops in the provinces, and in the end it will only force everyone to rebel together and cause chaos in the world!
The new Ming Sanjie is divided into three ranks: general, captain, and captain, of which the first to third rank is the general, the fourth to the sixth rank is the captain, and the seventh to ninth rank is the captain.
Specifically, it is the general of Zhengyipin Zhenguo and the general of the auxiliary country from Yipin; is the second rank of the general Wuwei, from the second rank of the general Zhenwei; General Zhaowu of the third grade, General Xuanwu from the third grade;
is the fourth product Dingyuan captain, from the fourth product Huaiyuan captain; Captain Ningyuan of Zhengwupin, Captain Zhiyuan from Wupin; is the sixth grade of the Ming Yuan lieutenant, from the six products of the Guangyuan captain;
is the seventh rank of loyalty, from the seven products of loyalty and faithfulness; is the eighth rank of the loyal and brave captain, from the eighth rank of the loyal and brave captain; is the captain of the nine pins of loyalty, from the nine pins of loyalty and righteousness;
The military academy has a total of nine grades and eighteen levels, among which the general of the Zhengyi Town National University is not awarded to the living person unless it is a special case, and it can be posthumously sealed after death, and the highest military rank is from the first rank of the auxiliary general of the country.
