Chapter 128 Reform of the Military Rank of the Han Kingdom
"The original commune was changed to a township, the commune office was changed to a township office, and a village was set up under the township, and the Baojia system was retained in the village. This was just a change to the original system, not abolishing."
Wenren Weiyang immediately understood Xu Boju’s meaning when he heard this, and went out and said, “The king of the country is wise.”
"Oh? Then please explain in detail to all your dear friends." Xu Boju didn't know whether he really understood or falsely.
"Yes, the king."
"My understanding is that a village must have more than twenty households, and this is one family. If there are forty households, it is two family members. And so on. The bigger the village, the more people there are, the more A family members, and the more A family members, the more A family members, and the village becomes a protective village in disguise, but it is more flexible than the previous insurance that requires twenty A family members."
"The same applies to the village."
"Well, Wenren Shangshu said it well. The three-level system of counties, townships and villages will be more flexible and convenient, and the nine counties will be more convenient for the unified management of the central government." Xu Boju said.
Zeng Ping'an, the Minister of Rites, asked: "Master, in this way, will some villages be very different? Are there any difference in power between villages and village officials? "
"Yes, there will be this problem in the village, and there will be these problems in the township and counties. Will everyone want to go to better places in the future? Those who have poor development and fewer people will get worse and worse?"
After discussion, we found some hidden dangers again.
"What are the suggestions of Master Ge?" Xu Boju asked.
"Reporting to the king, this problem is actually not difficult to solve. Villages are divided into Xiacun, Shangcun, and Township is divided into Xiacun, Shangcun, and County is divided into Xiaxian, and Shangxian can be set. A standard is lower than the standard line and higher than the standard line is upper." Zhang Tianchen suggested.
"There is also that the upper and lower levels are half a grade higher than the lower levels. For example, the officials in Shangcun are the eighth rank, so the same officials of the lower grade are from the eighth rank. If there is a difference in the official rank, it will naturally not happen that everyone wants to go to a good place."
"Yeah, it makes sense, okay." Xu Boju nodded and agreed very much. This idea is very good.
"What do you have any other opinions?" Xu Boju asked.
Everyone stopped talking, and basically the administrative system was finalized.
"Okay, the three-level administrative division of counties, townships and villages in my Han Dynasty will be determined." Xu Boju finally made the decision and ordered:
"Ge Lao Zhang."
"I'm here."
"Although the system has been determined, how to divide the four counties in Beiyue area and the three counties in Daliang area require the cooperation of your six ministries. You must conduct on-site inspections and cannot draw on the map casually. You may even have any increase or decrease in the Beiqi area and Chang'an area, but you must give convincing reasons."
"There are also the standards you have proposed to distinguish the upper and lower levels. Where is this standard line, you also need to formulate it. The division of official ranks and functions of officials at all levels also requires your cabinet to give a detailed report, giving you a month. In one month, I need a complete plan and will be officially implemented in one month." Xu Boju gave the time limit.
Plan first and then act, and the efficiency will be higher.
"Yes, the king." Zhang Tianchen received the order.
"Okay, then the first topic is over here for the time being. The next major dynasty will give a detailed plan and then discuss the implementation details. Let's start the second topic, the military rank system." Xu Boju started the second topic.
Xu Boju has been thinking about the military rank system in private for a long time, and has discussed it with Zhang Qing and Zhang Tianchen several times, and finally convinced them to use the military rank system on the other side of the earth, which is simple and clear.
"I have discussed the military rank system with the general. Let the general explain it to you below." Xu Boju said.
"Yes, the king." Zhang Qing stepped out of the line to receive the order.
Then he turned to the ministers and said, "The military rank system is divided into six levels and twenty-fourth levels."
"The sixth level from low to high are soldiers, soldiers, lieutenants, soldiers, generals, and marshals."
"Soldiers from low to high are private, third-class, second-class, first-class, and top-class level five"
"Private is a new recruit. In the future, our Han Kingdom will set up a new recruit battalion. All soldiers who are recruited will enter the new recruit battalion first. The new recruit will be trained for half a year and will be assessed every six months. Those who pass the assessment can join the army. If they fail the assessment, they will either return or continue to stay in the new recruit battalion for training. If a new recruit fails the assessment for three consecutive times, they will be forced to return."
"Those who pass the assessment scores enter the garrison army, those who are good at the assessment scores directly enter Chang'an Guard, those who are good at the assessment scores can enter the Qingtian Army, and those who are good at the assessment scores can choose each army to join by themselves. As a leader, he should have his own choice."
"Of course, the Imperial Guards, the Detachment of Women and the Shenji Camp are not listed here. These are the personal guards that only belong to the king of the country." Zhang Qing added.
I won’t talk about the Detachment of Women. In addition to a certain strength, the Imperial Guards and the Shenji Camp need more importantly, loyalty is indispensable.
"Soldiers who leave the recruit camp will be awarded the rank of third-class private. After one year of service, they will have no major mistakes in the army or kill one enemy, or manager three wars can be promoted to second-class private. After three wars, they will have no major mistakes in the army, or kill three enemies, or go through five wars can be promoted to first-class private. First-class private can serve as team leader."
"The High-ranking Private is also called a elite soldier of a hundred battles. It has nothing to do with the time of joining the army. Those who kill more than 100 enemies or still survive more than thirty wars can obtain this rank, which is also the highest honor for soldiers. The High-ranking Private will have four places in the army in the future."
"First, law enforcement team, second, personal soldiers, third, no retention at night, fourth, commando."
"The soldiers are at the first level and are at the third level, and from low to high, they are at the third level."
"The corporal may serve as the deputy squad leader or squad leader, the sergeant may serve as the squad leader or deputy platoon leader, and the sergeant may serve as the platoon leader or deputy company commander."
"The first rank of the lieutenant is the fourth rank, from low to high rank, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, and captain."
"A second lieutenant can serve as the company commander or squadron leader, a lieutenant can serve as the deputy battalion level, a captain can serve as the battalion level, and a captain can serve as the deputy regiment level."
"The first-level lieutenant is the school, and from low to high is the fourth-level rank of major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, and colonel."
"The major can serve as the regiment level or brigade leader, the lieutenant colonel can serve as the deputy brigade level, the colonel can serve as the brigade commander or corps commander, and the colonel can serve as the deputy division level."
"The first level of the school is a general, and from low to high, it is a major general, a lieutenant general, a general, a general, and a five-star general."
"The major general serves as the division commander or detachment commander, the lieutenant general serves as the deputy army level, the general serves as the commander, and the general is deputy army level, and the five-star general can serve as the commander of the army."
"The next level is the third level of Marshal, Young Marshal, Marshal, and Grand Marshal."
"The young marshal can serve as the commander of the front army. The marshal will not be established unless the National War will be temporarily added. The Grand Marshal can only be the head of the Han Kingdom. If others cannot do it, the rank of Grand Marshal will be awarded to the National Marshal after the throne."
Zhang Qing explained the general situation of the military rank that Xu Boju and him discussed. Although the Qingtian Army has only reached the regiment level and even the brigade-level unit has not been established yet, it does not hinder the preparations for the future.
With the brand new Han Dynasty, the country has increased so much that it will definitely require more soldiers to guard it, and expanding the army is imperative.
The ministers even saw the ambition of the king from this military rank system.
However, Zhang Qing did not return to his position, obviously he had not finished speaking.
Sure enough, Zhang Qing continued: "In addition, there are also 12-level sergeant chiefs, and the rank of first-level sergeant chiefs is equivalent to that of corporals, and so on, the rank of highest 12-level sergeant chiefs is equivalent to that of major generals."
(ps: Don’t apply reality to this. The sixth-level non-commissioned officer in China State Affairs is different from this.)
"We all know that not everyone has the talent for command. Some soldiers just don't know how to command, but they are strong, dare to fight and kill, and charge forward. It's a pity that these people sent them out of the army, but letting them serve as commanders is irresponsible to the soldiers below, but they have to make meritorious contributions, so the king thought of the setting of the chief of the sergeant, which is also a path for soldiers to improve their status in the army, and this path may be even more difficult."
"In addition to the people who have no command talent but are strong, there are also some soldiers with technical types, such as medical soldiers, and different functions, such as logistics soldiers, militias, garrison troops, and sergeant commanders. This development route is prepared for them."
All the ministers were impressed by the fact that this would be equivalent to two development routes, which could be said to have taken all the soldiers in the army into consideration, and everyone would be more motivated.
"You have also heard the explanation of the general. I am adding that on the battlefield, if the army is disrupted or the superiors are killed, then the benefits of the military rank system will come out at this time. The soldiers gathered together will directly obey the person with the highest rank. The superiors will be killed. The remaining soldiers with the highest rank temporarily hold the command power, so as not to be defeated like a mountain of defeat." Xu Boju thought for a while and said.
"The king of the country is wise." After hearing Xu Boju's addition, the ministers were shocked. This one was really great.
