046 Primary military merit system
As for the promotion of officers in the first battalion, it is completely determined by the number of great merits, because the source of great merits is mainly obtained after the completion of the combat mission in the first battalion, and the officers and soldiers are treated equally, which reflects 'fairness' to a certain extent.
Of course, in the case of the same merits, the selection of officers depends on their personal combat performance, which actually mainly depends on the intention of the chief officer of Baron Jamai, Shu Zifeng's supervisor is only responsible for recording combat exploits, and all other management work is the business of Baron Jamaia.
The first camp is a platform for Shu Zifeng to stretch his ambitions for Baron Jamai, and it is also an example for him to set for the nobles who surrender in the future, the commander of more than a hundred soldiers, for a baron, it is not an insult, and the number of troops pulled out by a baron is only this number, which is also mixed with a large number of conscripted peasant soldiers!
All the logistical supplies, food and equipment of the Xiandeng camp were uniformly distributed by Shu Zifeng's people, which made the Xiandeng camp not have the slightest chance of mutiny, unless they suddenly broke out with their bare hands to defeat Shu Zifeng's direct musket team, otherwise as soon as there was a change, as long as Shu Zifeng did not send supplies to the Xiandeng operation for a day, they would be hungry!
The warrior battalion, the guard musket team and even the conscription militia that is regarded as a field force also have a similar military merit system, but Shu Zifeng set up a military merit reward standard for the conscription militia is that they can enter the warrior battalion with higher treatment after accumulation, as well as promotion to officer and a small amount of money and reward.
The treatment of the warrior battalion is high, not only does it have a stable regular army salary income, but the cumulative reward standard for military merit is land!
Shu Zifeng didn't give enough money to the higher-level warrior camp.
Shu Zifeng drew on the military system of the Qin Dynasty in his previous life and the military merit system of the Eight Banners, and formulated a strict system of awarding military merits.
For these militiamen from the bottom, land is everything!
Because Shu Zifeng's power is not justified, and he can't use the reputation of nobility to make soldiers die, Shu Zifeng himself is not recognized as a lord, and the knight and even noble title he rewarded is undoubtedly a joke......
Therefore, if Shu Zifeng wants to pull up an army with combat effectiveness, he can only rely on money and land, and it is easier to obtain land Shu Zifeng, the nobles and knights of this era have a lot of land, but because they are poor and not good at management, they are poor and scum, and they can't grab much rubles at all.
This is the main reason why Shu Zifeng used land to link military merits to win over the warrior battalion.
Like the common people of China, the white civilians of the European continent also have a crazy desire for land, and the militia can be promoted to the warrior battalion by recruiting enough meritorious service, and the warrior battalion can obtain land by establishing meritorious service, and the warrior battalion soldiers who have land will undoubtedly hope that Shu Zifeng's power will be stable and protect their vested interests in order to ensure that their interests are not damaged.
The benefits of this are innumerable for the collection of military hearts, but the harm to Shu Zifeng's forces is also great, and the distribution of land to civilian soldiers is equivalent to declaring war with all the nobles and knights who own fiefs!
Now the fledgling Shu Zifeng has not yet started large-scale field rewards, and the aristocratic class has not yet paid attention to this, and when Shu Zifeng's influence gradually expands, and the military merit field system is widely known, it is conceivable what kind of pressure Shu Zifeng will be subjected to.
It's not that white Europeans can't see the benefits of military merit and grasping people's hearts, it's just that because the aristocratic power is deeply rooted in Europe, those who dare to fight to the death with the aristocracy have either surrendered or become corpses!
However, Shu Zifeng has the foundation of the conquest system, and has the support of the entire territory of the Dehrim system, and is not afraid to confront the entire European aristocratic system.
For Shu Zifeng, expanding his strength in the shortest possible time and defeating the first wave of encirclement and suppression of Muscovy is the right solution!
Under the propaganda of military merits, Shu Zifeng safely took over the territory of those defeated nobles, and successfully recruited a group of conscription militia from those lords who had no concept of allegiance.
These conscription militias are divided into two parts according to their physical fitness: the town militia that maintains local law and order, and the conscription militia that serves as a supplement to the field troops and warrior battalions.
A town militia means a stable and unpromising future, while a conscripted militia means that you can work your way up through war until you get your own land.
Shu Zifeng did not expect the town militia to help him hold the territory he occupied, as long as it could stabilize the original local order.
When Shu Zifeng annexed the territory of the defeated nobles, except for the important positions held by the children of the aristocratic families, the other original order was not tampered with and replaced in the slightest, and Shu Zifeng did not have so many people to manage the place, so he simply retained the original system, as for the local corruption and exploitation, Shu Zifeng would not care, he just needed to ensure that his share of the tax was paid in full, what did he do with the life and living standards of white civilians?
Even Shu Zifeng wished that the poorer the white civilians, the better, and the poorer the civilians, the more young and strong people would not be able to live to join the army and be cannon fodder for Shu Zifeng to fight!
In fact, the urban militia and conscription militia under Shu Zifeng, in addition to the more advanced military merit accumulation system, the military salary treatment is to manage food, housing, and clothing, and the money and military salary are nothing, and you must wait until you enter the warrior battalion to receive the military salary.
Shu Zifeng, who is so slammed, is already a generous lord in the eyes of white civilians, you know, in the past, the conscripted peasants and soldiers had to bring their own dry food......
Not to mention the field conscription militia recruited by Shu Zifeng, you can also live in the barracks for a long time to train, eat and drink for nothing, I don't know how many poor men want to join such a force, not to mention, after the battle, there is still hope to enter the warrior camp with a stable income, and you can also get land for establishing military merits!
This kind of treatment is like heaven compared to the aristocratic forces of the rigid class.
Of course, everything Shu Zifeng can do is based on financial resources, and it is naturally not a problem for him to raise so many people in a short time, but it won't take long for the skyrocketing conscription militia under his command to eat Shu Zifeng down!
After Shu Zifeng completed the recruitment of field militia in the new territory, more than 3,000 people were expanded, not counting the urban militia that is half soldier and half peasant to maintain law and order!
If he wants to maintain such a large force, Shu Zifeng has only one way, war and plunder.
However, Shu Zifeng recruited so many field militias, but Moscow City didn't care, they knew too well how much combat power a group of farmers who took up arms had......
