Chapter 310: Serving the Nobility
"Obviously, once the 20-level military merit title system is implemented, all the soldiers of our Wu State will be brave and brave to kill the enemy."
Ji Za said eloquently: "Fang Cai is too servant to talk about it, this military merit title system is a big drawback, and it is too heavy? β
"Don't you know that the threshold for military merit is extremely high! Not to mention the hairpin, the first-class knight needs to kill an enemy soldier, which is easier? If the enemy army has 10,000 soldiers, there are probably no more than a thousand people in armor, only a few hundred! β
"If my sergeant can kill an enemy soldier, what does it matter if he has this treatment?"
"This ......"
Jiza was right in what he said.
As Shen Xi said before, if Wu Jun has 10,000 hairpins, the annual salary is 1.5 million stones.
Coupled with the daily consumption of rice, sauce, vegetable soup and other foods, it is incalculable!
But how can military merit be so easy to obtain?
The first-class title requires the killing of an enemy soldier, and the armor is not an ordinary soldier, but a warrior wearing battle armor, an elite in the army, and may be a low-level general (officer).
Generally a forward unit, it is not so easy to kill, and then it has to bring its head back to safety.
Although military merit can be obtained by killing the enemy, in principle, the reward for those with high titles is heavy, and the rewards for those with low titles are light.
The ninth-level title is a watershed, such as in the Battle of Handan after the Battle of Changping, the first general (Wang Ling) of the Qin army to appear was the fifth doctor of the ninth-level title.
"Moreover, the servant said that the twenty-level military merit title system does not follow the ancient system, and the title should not be inferior to the common people. What a big mistake! β
Ji Za said loudly: "Although the military title and Shiqing Shilu have the same work, they are fundamentally different. β
"The title of military merit is only applicable to the army, that is, the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Che, if there is no official position, he will also not be able to enter the house, and sit in front of the king with the second and third sons to discuss national politics!"
Ji Za's words are really a bit strong.
has already made great achievements and become the Marquis of Guannei and the Marquis of Che, how can he not be named a minister by Qingji?
"In addition, the servant talked about the 20-level military merit title system, which disrupted the national law. Miu! β
Ji Za blew his beard and glared: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a mistake, you will be punished." There are clear rewards and punishments, this is the truth of the ages! β
"Whether it is governing the country, the army, or even the family, there is no clear distinction between rewards and punishments."
"Since it can inspire soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, why not make it bless the whole family? Megumi Tsumiko? β
"If you kill two soldiers of the enemy's army, the soldier can be exempted from the sins of his parents or the slavery of his wife, so that one person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, why not?"
"Color!"
Fan Li, Sun Wu, Bo Biao and other ministers who have great power to speak in the court and are loyal to Qingji applauded one after another in solidarity with Ji Zha.
"Finally!"
Ji Za said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that the killing will be too heavy, and the soldiers will kill the good and take the risk." Why didn't the king appoint an overseer, and if anyone violated the ban, he would be killed? β
"Good!"
Qingji bowed slightly, agreeing with Ji Za's proposition.
Shen Xi, Zhu Li, Hu Yong and other ministers of the old family were also speechless by Ji Zayi.
Qingji then took advantage of the trend and said, "Da Sima! β
"The minister is here!"
Da Sima Sun Ping immediately stood up.
This 20-level military merit title system was promulgated in the army on the same day to boost morale. In addition, there are rewards and punishments, and then there will be punishments in the army as punishment! β
"Minister, obey the king's orders!"
Sun Ping immediately agreed.
Qingji, this is just throwing bricks and stones.
With the 20-level military merit title system, the most fundamental purpose is to be introduced - legislation!
Qingji then said: "The widow thinks that what the right Dazai and the servant said is reasonable. β
"The so-called military merit system refers to the system of rewarding titles, farms, and restaurants according to military merits, which is different from the Shiqing Shilu system!"
"Therefore, such a rich reward should also have a corresponding punishment system."
"First, the army practiced the law of joint sitting, and five people were organized into a team, and if one escaped in wartime, the other four were guilty. The punishment can only be avoided by killing an enemy's head! β
"Second, the soldiers who died in battle, and the soldiers who died in the war cannot kill their corpses, and the same soldiers have won their merits, and those who have no merit will be killed at the age of three, and their corpses will be forgiven!"
"Third, the people who are trapped in the team face eighteen people. Those who are trapped in the team, know how to fight, can't, beheaded! β
"The five members of the team are trapped in the team, and they are given the first rank. If you die, you can't die after one person, thousands of people are ringed, and the rules are admonished, and you can't die under the city! β
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as he heard this, the ministers suddenly realized!
It turns out that Qingji is painting a big cake for ordinary people!
For ordinary soldiers, there are three punishment systems.
If a soldier of a brigade is killed in battle or a member of the army does not recover the corpses of his comrades, all the merits of a regiment are deprived and negated.
If a comrade who died in battle has not yet obtained military merits, he will be directly sentenced to three years on the border.
In siege warfare, death squads called trappers are also sent on each side of the city.
If the death squad does not obtain the first level of combat merit, they will be beheaded, and a death squad will obtain more than five first ranks, and everyone who survives will be given the title of first level.
If they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and retreat, the whole team will be under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, and they will be humiliated by stabbing their faces and cutting their noses under the city!
Under such a strict standard, although ordinary soldiers can complete the title of first or second or third rank by fighting to the death, it is almost difficult to obtain a knighthood of level 10 or above by killing the enemy in battle formation.
This 20-level military merit title system has opened the way for Wu Guoli Shu to rise from slaves, commoners to nobles, and the hope of an ordinary person becoming a first-class "public soldier" because of his military exploits is still quite great.
But the hope of becoming a top-notch "Chehou" because of his exploits is almost zero!
In other words, it is almost impossible for an ordinary Li Shu to become an upper-class nobleman by virtue of his military exploits.
Historically, from the beginning of the Qin filial piety Gong Shang Martingale reform to the unification of the world by the Qin State, there were only a few people in the history books who obtained the highest level of "Che Hou", such as Shang Ying, Wei Ran, Fan Ju, LΓΌ Buwei, Chang Poison, Wang Qian, etc.
They are either rich or expensive, have they been promoted from the beheading of the first-class princes?
In the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was even directly stipulated that the title of the eighth level and above could not be given to the common people.
After the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, most of the high-ranking titles of the Qin State were given to those royal clansmen with military merits, and it was impossible for civilian-born generals to enter the upper class of society at that time.
And soldiers can be calculated according to individual merit, and generals must be calculated according to collective merit, which greatly reduces the military merit of generals!
"The king is wise!"
The ministers immediately shouted.
They basically figured out the essence of the twenty-level military merit title system implemented by Qingji-
Soldiers who want to achieve military merit and avoid punishment can only fight the battlefield.
Under these conditions, it is almost impossible to kill a soldier without any damage in battle.
Therefore, the road to promotion for ordinary soldiers is very difficult, and the military knighthood system is generally for the nobility!
From this point of view, there is no need for the ministers of the old clan headed by Shen Xi, Zhu Li, Hu Yong and others to prevent Qingji from implementing this military merit title system.
