478, military rank (below)

"Since you said that the third product is a general, what is the second product and the first product? My current highest military position in Datang is the Jiedu envoy of the three products, and the chief of the three general departments. There are no other military positions, there is no one or two grades, how do you plan to arrange the first and second grades? Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen was speechless, the actual military position of the Tang Dynasty was Sanpin, which used to be called General Wei, but now it has become a festival envoy. The knots are generally the third grade, and the deputy envoy is the fourth grade. However, there are no military attachés of the first and second grades, and they are all used to increase their status in the nature of honor. But now that he asked, Jingwen immediately began to think about it.

"Your Majesty, why don't we set up a title general again. In the Han Dynasty, wasn't there a miscellaneous general and a heavy general? We might as well canonize those generals who have made great achievements in the war as a lifelong honor. Those veterans with great achievements, we canonize a lifelong title, then they are enough to leave a name in history, and they will be passed on forever with this title. is like the horse aid of the Han Dynasty, although there are not many people who know the horse aid directly, but many people know General Fubo, and if they know General Fubo, they naturally know the horse aid. And if I can restore the title of general in the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid that many generals will be able to pass on to future generations with the title, and they can be remembered and remembered by the history books. This is the role of the ban, and anyone will want to get the ban. Jingwen said.

After Jingwen said it, those veterans couldn't help but feel a little moved. Because the title represents the merits of your life, and if you can get the title, it means that your title will inevitably be recorded when history is recorded in the future. And even, it can be specially divided into a biography of a titled general in the history books. When it comes to high-level generals, what they pursue is no longer to receive awards for meritorious service, but to obtain merits that will go down in history. General Yi Lao, this is known to everyone. As a military general, what I hope most is to be able to pass on to future generations. However, a military general is not like a civil servant, who can write his own books and speak for future generations. Many generals do not have the ability to write books and speak, and how can future generations reflect his bravery? At this time, if there is a ban. That's probably your identity, your exploits. In later generations, a Water Margin was passed on, and as a result, everyone remembered the "bandits" of those Liangshan heroes. Although the regular army will not have bandits, the principle is the same. If future generations can understand themselves through their own titles, wouldn't the honor they have won in this way be even greater?

"By the way, Your Majesty, we can come up with a few titles. The Jiedu envoy of the Eastern Army can be canonized as the general of the Eastern Army, and other armies can also obtain the corresponding titles. For example, if you are good at cavalry, you are a cavalry general, and if you are good at sailors, you can be a building boat general. General Fubo. Even, there can be General Zhenhai. The one who has the merit in crusading against the thieves is the general of the crusade. If you are the chief of the military affairs headquarters in the Central Committee, you can be canonized as a military general. Wait, there are many more that can be banned. These titles will only canonize one person at a time, and when the veteran has not died, they all belong to him. Jingwen continued.

Li Shimin then asked: "What about the first product?" ”

Jingwen immediately wanted to say: "One product, you can be qualified to add a big character to the title of general." For example, if you want to ask for a general, or other generals, you can add a 'big' word. ”

Li Shimin nodded. This title Mr. General is even more personalized and can be accepted by the generals. At the top, if you can get a personalized title, it means that you have not lived in vain in your life. These are all benefits of personalization. It's easier for people to remember. Only those who are different from most other people are the ones who can really be remembered. A lot of people don't have that kind of charisma, so they can only find ways to dress themselves up in a more distinctive way, and as a result, all kinds of personalized things come out. In the end, the tiger will not become an anti-dog.

"Then what if a product can't be recognized for merit?" Li Shimin asked.

Jing Wen scolded in his heart: "Lao Li! You're going to die! ”

The emperor actually asked what kind of product could not be commended for merit, so didn't this let Jingwen solve a deadly problem? If a meritorious person can't even meet his merits with a first-class official position. Isn't this a reward for high merit? But Li Shimin actually wanted to ask this question, not because he doubted Jingwen's loyalty, but because he wanted to ask casually if he could solve this problem. But this problem can't be solved by many Mingjun, where can Jingwen solve it?

"Your Majesty, then add a marshal again. Adding a marshal rank above the general represents the highest military rank in our Tang Army, and it is a super military rank. Once you have the rank of marshal, you have to retire from active service and then receive honors. Jingwen said.

Although Li Shimin was not very satisfied with Jingwen's answer, he could only do so. Where is it so easy to solve. If you want to solve this problem, you can't do it unless you have a republic. But this is even more absurd, so Li Shimin has absolutely no way to solve it.

"And what rank should I get?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen asked: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, not an officer." ”

"Nonsense, when I led the Tang Dynasty army to conquer the world, you boys hadn't gotten up yet! If I'm not an officer, then what are you? If you dare to say that I am not an officer, then I am afraid that those veterans will be able to tear you down. Li Shimin said arrogantly.

Li Shimin has this arrogance, because the Tang Dynasty army can be said to be formed by Li Shimin, and no one can erase it. If Li Shimin is not an officer, then I am afraid that no one in the entire Tang Dynasty will dare to be an officer. Moreover, in a certain way, if the emperor is also an officer, it means that he is close to the army and not too distant. Military power is the most core right in ancient times, so if the emperor can obtain a military rank, it means that he is close to the army.

"Your Majesty, you formed my Tang Army, and the rank of marshal can't be commended. Your Majesty, it is better for me to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and set up a generalissimo military rank, which can only be awarded by the emperor in office. This represents the emperor's supreme leadership over the army, and represents that the emperor is the highest officer, and no officer can exceed the emperor's position. Jingwen asked.

"Hmmm! In the future, I will be the biggest generalissimo of my Tang Dynasty! Li Shimin said. (To be continued......)
