After talking about the setting of troops and individual equipment, let's talk about military salaries.

In ancient times, soldiers were not paid silver, but when they were fighting, they had to bring their own weapons and food. At that time, serving in the military was called military service, and someone from every household had to participate.

Later, some people awakened their martial souls and became soul masters, and their combat power exploded ordinary people.

There are more and more soul masters, and they are getting stronger and stronger, and ordinary people who have not awakened are on the battlefield, even if they fight to the death, they can't help much, and they waste food in vain.

As a result, war gradually became an exclusive game for soul masters.

The appearance of the soul master made ordinary people no longer have to serve in the military, but only had to bear forced labor and taxes. The country also made a rapid transition from conscription to conscription.

Since it is a recruitment, it is natural to pay military salaries.

Those who are qualified to join the army are all soul masters. Soul masters have strong abilities and high social status, and if they can't earn more than ordinary people, they can't attract them to come and join them. Therefore, the salary in the army is generally more generous.

Of course, the so-called abundance is also derived by comparing it with the income of ordinary people.

The soldiers in the Tianjia Army have a huge gap in soul power cultivation, the highest are Gong Luoluo and Yun Tianjia, both of whom are already more than seventy levels, while the lowest ones are only eight or nine levels, and they have not yet awakened their martial souls.

In the face of such a situation, how should the military salary be determined?

As we all know, the awakening of martial spirits has a certain inheritance.

If the parents are soul masters, most of the offspring will be able to awaken. Families that are not soul masters are difficult to awaken from generation to generation.

In this way, soldiers can be soldiers for generations, while most civilians can only be civilians for generations, and the strong families are getting stronger and stronger, and the weak families are getting weaker and weaker.

A class division gradually developed in society.

In the Tuhao Empire, the royal family, princes, and princes were the privileged class and were looked up to, and the large and small families, landlords, generals, officials, and soldiers were the upper class and were respected. Foreign merchants, refiners, animal trainers, monks and nuns, Taoist priests, witch doctors, professors, etc., are considered to be middle-level, and some of these people are soul masters.

The most bitter are the craftsmen, farmers, miners, fishermen, medicine pickers, vagrants, beggars, the most numerous, but the least status.

The Tuhao Empire did not have the imperial examination, and all official positions were monopolized by the upper class. Civil officials above the seventh rank must not only be a soul master, but also need to have the qualifications of a one-star instrument arithmetic or above certified by the Ministry of Rites before they can take office.

If the people can't awaken the martial spirit, then they can't join the army and get their salaries, and they have no way to become officials.

The labor they themselves engage in is exploited at all levels, and their income is not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing, so they can only struggle on the line of life and death forever.

If one of the descendants of ordinary people suddenly awakens or is fortunate enough to join the army, it will be a very joyful thing for them. This means that the whole family is expected to change the status quo and become a human being.

In the Tianjia Army, there are almost a hundred soldiers who have not awakened the martial spirit. As far as they are concerned, even if they are not paid, they will be more than happy to do it. For high-level soul masters, the military salary is less, but it will affect the combat mood. Many of them also have wives and children to support a family.

The Tianjia Army is supported by 20% of the taxes of Hanyuan County, and has the wealth and constant industrial support brought by Luo Erniang, so there is no shortage of money and food. With Yun Tianjia's original intention, he was more inclined to take the same salary for everyone, but in this way, it became a big pot of rice, and no matter how much or how little it was, it would cause dissatisfaction among high-level soul masters.

And if the salary is pulled out of the level, isn't it another tacit acquiescence in the soul master's discrimination against civilians?

After thinking about it, Yun Tianjia finally chose to compromise.

The Tianjia Army was only a very small combat unit, and it had no ability to subvert the secular concept that soul masters were superior. Forcibly reversing it through equalization of military pay would be counterproductive.

If we want to completely change the situation of civilians, we need to think of something else.

When Yun Tianjia was just a heavy soldier at Eagle's Beak Pass, he enjoyed the treatment of miscellaneous soldiers, 6 silver soul coins a month, and Long Yuandong and He Dali were treated as fierce soldiers, 36 silver soul coins a month.

The border guards at Eagle's Beak Pass are paid entirely on the basis of military rank.

The situation of the Tianjia Army is different.

The same is an ordinary soldier, a war battalion and a logistics baggage battalion, and the cultivation is far from the same. If you take the same military salary, it obviously won't work.

After careful consideration, Yuntianjia finally determined the following system:

The basic military salary of all warriors is two gold soul coins for one month, and the soul power cultivation is calculated from the zero level, and one gold soul coin is added every month to the next level, and two gold soul coins are added when it is promoted to two levels, and so on.

Under this premise, those who hold military posts are subject to additional pay.

Add one to the captain, two to the chief, three to the team leader, four to the captain, and five to the battalion commander.

In addition, military positions and ranks are different, and those with official military ranks are given additional salaries.

As for those who have made meritorious contributions to the enemy in battle, there is another set of reward methods.

In other words, this is a comprehensive military salary system based on the superposition of four factors: soul power cultivation, position, military rank, and military merit. This is quite fair to all soldiers, there is nothing to fault with.

Yun Tianjia did what he said, and ordered Ge Zheng and Ge Yi to take out two large baskets of golden soul coins on the spot, and distributed the first month's military salary in full. Many of the soldiers did not know how to read, nor did they know how to count, but they were originally in a fog, and when they really received the money with their hands, they immediately had an intuitive experience of the latest military salary system, and they all smiled happily, and secretly vowed to train hard, kill the enemy bravely, and get promoted and rich in the future, and get more money.

Finally, with regard to military discipline and military law, Yun Tianjia basically followed the Western Frontier Army's policy of not making much of a difference, except for emphasizing the point that the people should not be disturbed.

The troops, lists, equipment, salaries, and military laws are all clarified, and Yun Tianjia announced the official start of the army's training!

The main attack of the giant axe battalion, Xiong Zhuangzhuang focuses on training the charging formation, running pace, alternating rhythm, physical fitness, combination skills, and fusion skills of the team members;

The main defense of the heavy shield battalion, Zhong Ding and the main training team members' combination skills, fusion skills, formation changes, and the ability to carry the beating;

The three teams of the wind battalion have different functions: Gong Luoluo teaches according to his aptitude, and the special forces train guerrillas, assassination, raids, and use; the air supremactury team trains speed, archery, gliding, and flying; and everyone in the spy team knows how to read, and more training is given in disguise, concealment, intelligence, observation of words and feelings, and evasion.

Gong Luoluo is in the Star Calculation Tower, and he is practicing the art of war, formation, alchemy, divination, physiognomy, and acting, and has reached the realm of a three-star adjuster.

Although Zhong Dinghe and Xiong Zhuangzhuang failed to enter the Star Calculation Tower, after all, they are the inheritance of the Jiangmen, the origin of family learning, and they also have attainments in the art of war, formation, and criminal name, and easily passed the two-star arithmetic assessment of the Ministry of Rites, which is rare among military generals.

The third battalion of soldiers was led by Gong Luoluo, Zhong Dinghe, and Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Yun Tianjia was very relieved and let them toss.
