Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Alternative Military Merit System

After the badge was awarded, the earth was already asleep, but the barracks of 100,000 people were still lively, and the breeze blew gently, saying "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" Roll up and fly into the distant night sky, so that the whole world can feel the proud endorsement of the Han family!

The night is still so charming, the stars in the sky are bright and faint, blinking shyly, so far away from human beings, and so as if they are within reach.

Holding an iron badge in his hand, Liu Xie looked at the distant night sky, and his thoughts went with it.

I don't know about Nizi, how is it now?

Hey~~~ Let her touch the dirty things of intelligence too early, it's just that I didn't think it through!

Looking up at the starry sky, Liu Xie felt a little guilty in his heart.

If Nizi's heart is not clear, she can't control many dark methods! Now she is likely to be gradually degraded in her heart・・・・・・

However, at present, the Gong Weisi still needs Nizi to manage, and the gunpowder and other things I gave her are almost developed now, right?

As soon as Niko completes the last major thing I have given her, I will then keep him out of the matter of intelligence, away from those dirty methods.

If I can make you dark, I can also make you light!

"Your Majesty, the night is cool! Let's go back to Dajiao~~~"

Bai Jie took out a black cloak in his hand and put it on the body of the Son of Heaven, which warmed Liu Xie's heart, and at the same time pulled him back to his distant thoughts.

"Well, call Mr. Gongda."

Returning to the big pot, sitting on the dragon chair, playing with the badge in his hand that made 100,000 soldiers shout, even crazy, Liu Xie's mouth emitted a smile that was imperceptible to ordinary people.

This iron badge is very simple to make, and on the back is a snap button, like a pin, which can be fastened to the top of the garment; On the front is my head, and below is the line of words, which is this line of words. Triggered tonight so the soldiers went crazy.

"Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!"

This sentence has been rated as one of the top ten bold words in Chinese history, and it can even be said to be the first.

It has achieved the blood nature of the Han people. The blood and strength in the bones of the Han people are revealed, and its voice resounded throughout the world, suppressing all ethnic groups!

"Step, step"

Looking up, it turned out that Xun Yu had arrived, and he was holding several badges in his hand. They are made of bronze, silver, and gold.

Taking the three medals from Xun You's hand and holding them in the palm of his hand, Liu Xie smiled with him.

"Gongda, you say, can these few small medals replace the military merit knighthood system of the Qin people in the past?"

Xun You stood aside and replied respectfully: "Holy Lord, I'm afraid this is difficult. But the effect will not be inferior to it, and may even surpass it~~~"

"yes!" Liu Xie looked deeply at the several medals in his hand: "Don't look at its smallness, the power that erupts." It's going to be huge. ”

The military merit system is the most prominent content of the Shang Dynasty reform, and there is a complete set of 20-level knighthood system.

The principle of knighthood, all people in the army, regardless of their origin, will be rewarded according to the size of their military exploits, and all soldiers who can cut off a head of the enemy can obtain a knighthood, as well as the corresponding field house and concubine.

The more heads you kill, the higher your title. If you can cut off five enemies. It can also serve as a subordinate to five families.

In addition, those with high titles are rewarded heavily, and those with lower titles are rewarded lightly. All teams that have made full contributions can be rewarded by the whole army. For those above the five doctors, in addition to the promotion of officials, there are also "bestowed", "taxed", "taxed", etc.; For those below the five doctors, only the rank of official is rewarded, or at most a few thousand dollars and a few slaves.

The benefits of the military merit knighthood system are in addition to boosting morale and improving the combat effectiveness of the army in war. The greatest benefit is the establishment of a channel for the circulation of wealth and power up and down.

It deprived the old aristocracy of hereditary privileges and vested interests, so that the lower classes of society, even slaves, could rise to the upper echelons of society by virtue of their high military merits.

In this way, the whole country will open up channels for rights and wealth, and the vitality of the country will also burst out.

The military merit knighthood system, while bringing great benefits, will inevitably bring disaster, it will lead to the reckless use of military force, the rampant use of military people, so that the whole country can not move towards civil rule, and then there will be tyranny; At the same time, attention was paid to the number of enemy commanders, resulting in the destruction of military discipline and the intensification of contradictions between the military and the people.

The most important thing is that it will make the military rule the entire country, and the monster born of the military merit system will constantly urge the entire country to expand.

When one day, when it can't expand, it's when the whole country is in civil strife.

In the early Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Han family needed the world to recuperate, and the military class became a very headache.

When Chao Cuo was still the crown prince, he seized the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and suggested in "On Guisu Shu" that Emperor Wen Nasu should be knighted, as long as he sent grain to the border plug, he could exchange it for a certain title or use it to atone for his sins.

At first, the low-status merchants were crazy and sent grain to the border to get the title, but when they returned home, they found that everyone around them had the titles of five doctors or more, and the chief of the concubine also grabbed a handful, and he instantly understood that he had been cheated, but it was too late to regret it.

The erroneous Nasu knighthood is not only to satisfy the border food, but also to attack the military meritorious knighthood class.

Back then, when the Han Court did this, except for the nineteenth-level Guannei Marquis and the twentieth-level Chehou, the chief and below were all abolished.

In this way, the military class was abolished, and the early Han Dynasty was able to recuperate, and the rule of Wenjing began.

"Your Majesty, although this thing is small, it can encourage soldiers to kill the enemy, and second, it can prevent the warriors from dominating the country!" Xun You said admiringly: "The saint created this thing, which shows that the mind is wise and insightful, it is really heaven and eloquence, and the micro-ministers are obedient!" ”

"Hehe, Gongda~~~"

Liu Xie, who was on the dragon couch, laughed and said, "I and you are not only monarchs and ministers, but also confidants!" These words need not be said much. ”

After talking with Xun You for a while, Xun You saw the yawning Son of Heaven, and after gently advising the Son of Heaven to take care of the dragon's body, he retreated.

"Ha~~~ Huh"

Today, I haven't rested much, it's really tiring to be an emperor!

Holding the three medals in his hand, Liu Xie couldn't get up from sleep.

These three medals of bronze, silver, and gold are not as ordinary as the iron badges tonight, and there is only one way to obtain them, and that is military merit.

If you behead ten people on the battlefield, you can get a bronze medal, and at the same time, you can get 100 acres of fertile land, 50 yuan of money, and only one person can be exempted from service, and you can be given priority to be an alternate for the post of pavilion chief after being discharged from the army.

Those who have decapitated 50 people in total, and have obtained more than five full merits during the war, can get a silver medal, be promoted one level below the school captain, and at the same time obtain 500 acres of fertile land, and the three generations of direct families can be exempted from service, and get 300 yuan, and after retiring from the army, they will be able to obtain the post of pavilion chief or above, and the priority is to be the township chief.

The gold medal is not calculated by the head, but by the victory of the battle, winning five consecutive battles, the lieutenant colonel and above can get the gold medal, in addition to promotion, good land, reward, exemption from conscription, the most important thing is that you can appoint one son as a lang official.

Three small medals will rejuvenate the military class, but it is difficult for them to have the power to influence the court with a single gold medal.

These three medals not only allow the recipient to exchange wealth and power, but also contain great significance, it symbolizes the highest honor of the soldiers, and will allow the soldiers to fight bravely for honor and wealth.

And the portrait of the Son of Heaven on the medal will imperceptibly change the minds of the soldiers, so that their minds will have the idea of fighting for the Son of Heaven, which is equivalent to a kind of brainwashing in disguise.

Of course, there is also a big killing weapon, that is, after the soldiers are discharged from the army, they can go home and get the position of pavilion chief or above.

Liu Xie calculated a little, the bronze medal, the soldiers are relatively easy to obtain, and after retiring from the army, he returned to his hometown to serve as the pavilion chief with a hundred acres of fertile land and a reward.

At the same time, he also planned to set up a martial arts hall in every pavilion in the country in the future, so that young people over the age of seven and under the age of fifteen could receive militarized training in the morning and evening under the leadership of the pavilion chief, a retired veteran, so that the heroic spirit of the empire would be aroused once again.

As long as Liu Xie persists, the Han Dynasty in 20 years will have millions of male soldiers, and it will be a piece of cake to beat the world in the future!

Bai Jie, who was on the side, saw that the Son of Heaven had not washed and rested for a long time, frowned, asked the little eunuch to bring hot water, put it on the gold bath bucket, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to wash and sleep~~~"

Under Bai Jie's delicate service, Liu Xie comfortably took a hot bath.

Back on the dragon couch, Liu Xie hugged the nephrite-like white white in his arms and kissed away.

"Hmm~~~"

After the long kiss, Liu Xie took out fifteen bamboo slips and taught her how to translate secret letters.

"Do you know everything?"

Liu Xie's hands were restless and scurrying around, Bai Jie only felt that her whole body had fallen into magma, and she was about to be melted by the heat of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty~~~" Biting her cherry-like lips, Bai Jie gently grabbed Liu Xie's strange hands that were about to pull her clothes, a little disgusted, and even more excited nodded in response: "The slave knows!" ”

His Majesty taught her the method of translating secret letters, which shows that she will be the real confidant of the Son of Heaven in the future, just like Liu Shangyi.

Thinking of this, Bai Jie was overjoyed in her heart, raised her perfect face, and her pink lips took the initiative to meet the Son of Heaven・・・・・・ (to be continued.) )
