Chapter 156: The Military Rank System
The property rights of some ships cannot be regarded as a leader, these ships were originally Zheng Yiguan's private property, and when the leader of the ship decided to turn his back on Zheng Yiguan, after obtaining the consent of the other people on the ship, he collectively turned against the water and took refuge in the sea wolf, so the property rights of the ship are the owner's own, and the leader can take the lion's share, but the other people on the ship also have to share some profits.
In this case, the ship was sold directly to everyone on board, and some people were dissatisfied, even if it was the leader who brought the ship, there was nothing to say, after all, they still took the lion's share, and it was already considered to be a advantage.
In this way, these dozens of boats were quickly eaten by Yu Xiaotian, and the appearance was not ugly, and in the end, everyone was happy.
These people were re-screened and selected, and the unsuitable personnel were eliminated and arranged to become farmers on the farms in Tamsui City.
The young and strong stayed, and were good at making the ship be assigned to serve on the ship of the sailor, but they had to report to the new barracks of the sailor first, and after retraining, they could be assigned to the ship.
Some of the personnel who are not good at handling ships are assigned to serve in the combat barracks, of course, they must first be trained by the new military battalions before they can be assigned.
And those boat owners, some of them are tired of doing it, and they don't want to do this kind of bloody business on the ship anymore, so Yu Xiaotian also generously asked them where they wanted to go.
If there are those who are willing to settle in Tamsui City, they can be assigned to Tamsui City and settled in some immigrant villages, and with the money they get from selling boats, it is no problem to be a little rich man.
If you don't want to stay in the territory of the sea wolf to make a living, there is no problem, the sea wolf can use various means to whitewash their identity on the land, let them be incognito on the land, use their silver to buy some land, and become a small landowner.
As for those who are willing to stay and follow him Yu Xiaotian, he raised his hands to welcome, but he must first go to the naval division recruit camp and receive advanced training, advanced training is to train the captain and first mate, and the main training is their command ability, so that they will not be directly appointed as the captain, and they will not know the way of commanding the waves in the fleet, and they can only add chaos when the time comes, so all those who are selected by the sea wolf as the captain and first mate must first receive such training, and then they can enter the sorting and wait for the ship.
Moreover, Yu Xiaotian assured these people that after they passed the training, they could be put in the front, and they would get on the ship earlier, so that they would not have to sit on the cold bench for a long time, and they would also be paid during the cold bench.
It wasn't until this time that these people basically understood how the sea wolf controlled his subordinates, and doing things here in the sea wolf was based on ability, and it seemed a bit unworkable to talk about seniority here, and the competition pressure was very high, and being a captain was not a one-time thing, and if you didn't do it well, you would go down immediately, and some were captains who didn't have a ship, waiting in line at the back to get on the boat.
Yu Xiaotian didn't make too much effort, he digested and absorbed this group of new Zheng Yiguan's original subordinates, and he believed that after training, these people could be well integrated into his sea wolf system and become his subordinates in the future.
However, Yu Xiaotian was not satisfied with the current structure of his military system, and decided to carry out a large-scale reorganization of his sailors and soldiers.
In mid-August, all the heads of the various departments of the Seawolf were gathered, and Yu Xiaotian announced the reorganization plan of the Seawolf military system at this meeting.
First of all, he announced that in the future, the Seawolf's sailors and soldiers will be officially formed into an army, that is to say, in the future, the name of the Seawolf's sailors will be changed to the navy, and the combat battalion will be renamed the army in the future, formally forming two major branches of the army, the sea and the land.
Second, it turns out that although there are classes within the sea wolf, the classes are not clear, especially the classes in the military system are not clear, and they are only called by the leader, but many people can't figure out who has a higher status.
However, it is difficult for the army to guarantee that there will be no casualties among the commanders in wartime, and once the commanders are killed or wounded, if there is no clear distinction between ranks, the entire army may be confused.
In the event of a casualty on the battlefield in which the commander is unable to continue to command the troops, it is not clear who is responsible for taking over the command, and under normal circumstances, the highest-ranking officer will automatically take over the command.
Sometimes the troops may be scattered or scattered in the middle of the battle, and may even be scattered, and the personnel who are separated from the main force will often come into contact with each other, according to the practice of later generations, it is also the highest rank of the military who is responsible for collecting the lost or straggling personnel and directing them.
This is written into the military regulations, and when the province appears, no one will listen to anyone, and everyone wants to obtain command and command the troops, but in the end there can only be a situation in which there will be chaotic command and multiple commands, and no one can command whom, and everyone understands what the result is.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian decided to officially introduce the military rank system of later generations in the military system of the sea wolf.
As long as there is a military rank system, these situations will be much easier to handle in the future, whoever has a high rank, the troops will listen to whom, unless before the departure of the troops, the Wolf's Den Headquarters designates someone to be the commander, in this case, the senior officers will obey the command of the junior officers, otherwise, according to the new regulations, the junior officers must obey the command and dispatch of the senior officers.
For Yu Xiaotian's point, everyone has no opinion, now everyone is dressed similarly, there is no obvious sign, although the officer's clothing is better than that of ordinary ministers, this is just to let people know who is the officer, who is the ordinary minister, or it is not clear who is the bigger rank, this will inevitably cause some confusion, so they have no opinion on setting the military rank.
As for the military rank plan proposed by Yu Xiaotian, it made these subordinates a little dizzy, because Yu Xiaotian proposed a third-order officer system for generals and captains, which they had never heard of.
According to the military rank of the Ming army, generally the highest is the general soldier, but the general soldier generally has to listen to the command of the governor, the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are the same heavy on literature and light on military force, don't look at the military attache grade to the general army, it is considered the second grade of the military attache series or from the second grade, but in front of the civil officials, even if it is in front of the four or five grade of civil officials, they have to carefully call themselves humble with their tails, and it was not until later in the Chongzhen period, after the collapse of state affairs, that these generals began to support the army and their own tail, and they did not buy the accounts of civil officials.
Under the general army, there are generally adjutant generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals, thousand generals, general generals, and then there are general flag officers and small flags below, but they have never heard of such an official rank as a general and lieutenant.
Moreover, the military rank system proposed by Yu Xiaotian divides officers into three ranks, and each rank is divided into four ranks, and a total of twelve ranks are set from top to bottom, which are generals, generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, colonels, colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, captains, captains, lieutenants and second lieutenants.
These twelve-order military ranks, so that they couldn't figure out for a while, how to compare with the military rank of the Ming officers, and which order could be roughly equal to what rank of the Ming army.
Seeing that the group of people below were confused, Yu Xiaotian knew that they would definitely be confused, so he simply made a chart and compared it with the people under him and said: "Look at this, everyone will understand, the general army of the Ming Dynasty is the highest military rank!" Among our military ranks, it is probably the two ranks of lieutenant general and major general, but it does not reach the general and general, and the general and the general will basically be similar to the military department! So you should get the idea!
If you are a deputy general, you should be regarded as a major general and a colonel, and then a general, in our military ranks, should be in the two ranks of colonel and lieutenant colonel, according to the number of leading soldiers, different qualifications, and different meritorious deeds.
And guerrillas are almost considered majors and captains, generally regarded as captains, and when they enter the school, they are middle and senior generals, and so on, Qian is a captain and a lieutenant, and a general is a second lieutenant.
Let's put it more simply, at present, among our sailors, like ordinary patrol ships, a ship with a dozen to twenty sailors is awarded the rank of second lieutenant and enters the officer rank!
Captains of ships such as bird boats and canopy boats can be awarded the rank of lieutenant, and the captain of the second fortune ship is also awarded the rank of lieutenant, but the promotion is faster than that of captains on other ships, and can be promoted to the rank of captain.
Detachment commanders like you are now should be given the rank of captain or captain.
And Ma Xiao, Hu Cheng, Liu Yidao, One-Eyed Dragon, Luo Xianbin, and you, you can be awarded the rank of major and captain!
As for the soldiers, that is, the army in the future, the current chief and deputy detachment leaders are awarded the rank of second lieutenant, the chief and deputy squadron leaders are awarded the rank of lieutenant, and the chief and deputy captains are awarded the rank of captain.
Like Li Dazui and Meng Fei, you can be awarded the rank of captain or major!
When I say that, you should probably understand! ”
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's explanation, the leaders of these military systems basically understood the rank and rank "invented" by Yu Xiaotian, so they all grinned.
Although none of them can be awarded the rank of major or above, let alone a general, they are still very satisfied with their current rank.
Because compared with the military rank mentioned by Yu Xiaotian, compared with the military rank of the official army on land, like Ma Xiao, Liu Yidao, and Hu Cheng, they are basically regarded as guerrilla officers now, and at present, the Ming Dynasty has not completely reached the end of the world.
