After attending Wu Dengke's wedding, Chen Wen returned to the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion to continue his work, but seeing the marriage around him, Chen Wen suddenly had the urge to find a girl to fall in love. www.biquge.info It seems that he remembers every time he attended a wedding in the past and had such an impulse, but it is not clear whether this is the same this time.

At the beginning of February, the newly trained recruits had begun to be integrated into the various barracks and garrisons in various places in batches, but it would take at least a month for the recruits to fully integrate themselves in spirit and in cooperation with other comrades. Taking advantage of this time, Chen Wen decided to solve the problem of hereditary military positions in the army at one time.

This problem stems from the system of the Ming Dynasty itself, with hereditary officers plus military household status passed down from generation to generation, which constituted the most important military force of the Ming Dynasty. Although by the time of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the three battalions had begun to be formed as the core force of national defense, and even later, with the destruction of the three battalions in Tumubao and the rapid corruption of their derivatives, the Ming Dynasty even came up with a conscription system to replace all this. But even so, the taxation of the guard system, the output of soldiers or officers, and the duty of the guards throughout the country to protect the local area were still an integral part of the Ming dynasty's ruling system.

However, now is the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for many years, and has begun to digest the system reform of the health system, although the series of work to change the guard to the county and the army to the people has just begun, but the Ming Dynasty's own system has been decayed and collapsed, in order to oppose the Manchu Qing Dynasty and use the original system to the whole can only tie their hands and feet, and even play themselves to death in it.

Institutional reform was necessary, and Chen Wen had already begun to carry out it, but unlike the reform of military towns and guards that he had carried out before and was still ongoing, the hereditary military position was originally a product of feudalism, and feudalism was what he always tried his best to eliminate in the army. However, in the context of feudal society, he can deprive himself of his feudal interests, and he can also get rid of some bad feudal habits through rich rewards and brainwashing in exchange, but hereditary military positions are related to the well-being of their children and grandchildren for the officers and soldiers in the army, and Chen Wen has no price that can be exchanged at all.

In this case, compromise is the only way to go. However, compromise is compromise, and Chen Wen did not intend to let his army be restored to feudalism, which is a matter of principle and does not allow the slightest compromise.

After a month of consideration, Chen Wen decided to come up with a system similar to the Wusan rank as a hereditary standard, rather than continuing to use the original system of hereditary guards in the Ming Dynasty.

The Wusan rank began in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not without it in the Ming Dynasty, from the highest level of Zhengyi to the special Jin Guanglu doctor to the lowest level from the sixth rank of the first lieutenant of Zhongxian, a total of thirty levels. But this system was originally a title, and now the Ming Dynasty continues to use it, Chen Wen doesn't plan to leave any more loopholes for anyone in this, whether it is a civilian official in the supervising army, or other noble generals, even if it is the emperor, it is not a problem.

Chen Wen never wanted to be a loyal minister, and the expulsion of the Tartars was the most important thing, and many things could be compromised on this issue, but the power of life and death represented by the emperor and the inequality of personality could not be compromised at all.

Whether to stand on his own or not is a matter for later, after all, he must first beat the Manchu bear to death before he can have a chance to share the meat, otherwise why did he come to such a situation. But even if there must be an emperor of the Zhu family, he will deprive the emperor of his rights and be a mascot in a proper manner, just like the Queen of England, whose main business is to walk dogs, and the side job is to be a queen so that it will not threaten the future of him and his descendants, and future generations of Chinese naturally do not have to worry about jumping out of the problem of cholera in the world.

Chen Wen has done a lot of things to change the ancestral system without permission, and the military town and the guard center are still being improved, but no matter how they are changed, it is impossible to change back to the original set.

In fact, Chen Wenxin's newly planned system similar to the military rank is actually a military rank system, but the name will not use anything like a lieutenant general, major, captain, etc., but will borrow the name of the military officer in the Tang and Song dynasties as a military rank, and will be awarded some marks such as epaulettes, collar badges and other marks to be indicated, so as to further clarify the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army.

It's just that the day when the Tartars are really expelled is still far away, at least Chen Wen can't come up with any plans similar to "five years of Pingliao". In this case, making all the military ranks in one go would only tie his hands and feet, so he just made a dozen or so from low to high and used them for the time being.

According to Chen Wen's plan, the lowest rank was called the lieutenant of the piano, which was similar to that of the Tang and Song dynasties, and was used to award low-level officers such as the captain of the firearms team and the cavalry commander of the war barracks; At the top of it is the captain of the chaperone, and the junior officers such as the captain of the infantry of the battalion can have it. By analogy, when it comes to the command level of the combat battalion, it can only be held by the captain of Zhiguo, and the officers of the quartermaster, military law, and superintendent of the battalion are demoted by one level.

These are all military ranks used in the military, and the hereditary ones are no longer official positions or missions, but military ranks. The reason why this is so is because the official positions, dispatches, and honors of the Ming Dynasty have all been rotten, such as Chen Wen's current ally Zhang Zisheng, who has only more than 10,000 men, women and children in his army, but there are more than 50 general officers alone, and an average of 200 people are in charge of one person. If it is changed to the apocalypse or the early years of Chongzhen, an officer in charge of 200 people is just a thousand generals, at most a garrison. At that time, a general military officer, even if it was just a regimental training chief soldier, was larger than this number.

The phenomenon of low official positions is too alarming, and Chen Wen can only manage his own territory. However, as soon as the hereditary military rank came out, in addition to the military rank system being developed in the army, and the concept of superiority and superiority in the army began to be used as a dam to resist the torrent of feudalization, he did not have to take out so much land to reward if he won a battle in the future, after all, although there is a lot of wasteland in various places, there is always a limit.

Of course, the premise of the hereditary military rank is that the age and other conditions meet the standards, and after the assessment of the corresponding level, those who do not reach it will not enjoy this right. As for bribery, there is no need to worry about it for the time being, because there are not too many officers who can obtain hereditary military positions, and their heirs are even more distant from hereditary military positions.

As soon as the system of hereditary military ranks was announced, the army was a voice of jubilation and praise, and now the Zhejiang Ming Army is in full swing, and each of them seems to see that one day in the future, their children and grandchildren will be able to inherit the positions in the army, and they will no longer start from scratch like them.

As for why it is complicated, Chen Wen's explanation is very simple, that is, the hereditary guard post has been rotten on the street, and it continues to flood, not to mention what kind of hereditary thousands of households, hundreds of households, even if it is the hereditary guard commander, what can be done, is there really so many official positions in the guard to give you hereditary?
