Chapter 625: The meritorious training comes out, and the lord comes from the frontier
Chongzhen finally began to accept Zhu Cixuan's military merit title: "If he had military merit title, what would the military merit title of the Ming Dynasty be like?"
Zhu Cilang said confidently: "The Ming military merit system planned by the son minister summarized in one sentence, "My merits will be trained and the title will be born from the border."
The titles were divided into Duke of Zhen, Duke of Ding, Duke of County, Duke of County, Duke of County, Duke of Wanhu, Duke of Wei, Bo of Zheng, Bo of Ping, Bo of Kai, Bo of Kai, Bo, first to third-class viscount, first to third-class baron, and sixteenth grade. The titles can be inherited, but must be reduced to one level for each generation.
After all titles are finally reduced to Lords, they will no longer be reduced. In addition to their fame, Lords will no longer enjoy national salary.
But every five years it can recommend a student to the Royal Academy, who can be the heir to their family’s title or someone else.
The Lord is the lowest title. Except for the reward when he is awarded, the Empire will no longer bear the remaining rewards and salary, but all Lords have a place to recommend a student to study at the Royal Academy every five years.
The title above the Lord will increase according to the level of rewards and salary.
A title must be obtained by the merits of expanding territory. Without the merits of expanding territory, a title cannot be obtained. Only merits can be obtained.
The meritorious deeds are divided into fifth grade, fourth grade of general, fourth grade of lieutenant, fourth grade of weiwei, fourth grade of sergeant, fourth grade of soldier, and fourth grade of soldiers. A total of twenty-one levels.
Among them, merits are not only linked to merit, but also to the commanding military-level army, but titles are not linked to military-level army.
When the army commands war, the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels is determined based on the meritorious position, and the title can only be used outside the army.
If the court is appointed during the war, it will be divided into subordinates according to the appointment of the court. If the court has no appointment, or the troops are disbanded, the commanding organs are lost, etc., the subordinates must obey the command of the superiors.
Meritorious positions are lifelong, but they cannot be passed down to the next generation. Meritorious positions are mainly rewarded with corresponding position allowances and one-time rewards, and generally do not reward land.
Only by obtaining a title and having the credit for expanding territory can you receive certain land rewards.
In this way, it can avoid the situation where there is no reward in the future due to insufficient land.
The meritorious positions are obtained when they are excellent in combat or training exercises, and are linked to money and not inherited. This will ensure that they are enterprising and will not be over-produced.
The reason why the command of the high and low position is determined by meritorious positions rather than by titles in the army is that some heirs of title may not have corresponding command skills.
The army naturally needs to use professional talents, and the meritorious position can best represent its talents, because the title may come from the bride of ancestors, but the meritorious position must be made by themselves with one sword and one shot."
Chongzhen scratched his head a little: "You are a title, a meritorious position, and a corresponding official position. Isn't it too complicated? Why not simplify the complexity?"
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Father, save money like this!"
Chongzhen was stunned: "Save money?"
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Father, you think that if a person makes meritorious service, we can not only promote his official position, but also give him a title, or give material rewards.
As long as you give four things, these soldiers will be satisfied. If you are united, you will not be able to do so many levels."
Chongzhen thought in his mind: "But you don't seem to solve the disadvantages of the Qin army's merits and title system. If the armies launched endless foreign wars in order to obtain titles, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty also consume national strength?
Then when wars are everywhere, how can we ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not be empty?"
Zhu Cixuan explained: "Because the Ming Dynasty had a general staff, formulating combat plans and national strategies was no longer based on one person's preference, but dozens or even hundreds of people continued to analyze and summarize the optimal solution.
This can not only ensure that a few people make mistakes when they are in a hurry, but also ensure that "a wise man will make mistakes in a thousand mistakes."
As for the endless foreign war, there are two main restrictions. One is the imperial edict of the father. As long as the father keeps his mind clear, there is naturally no need to worry about them doing things randomly.
The second is budget restrictions. The annual military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty was planned in advance and was limited. It was not as usual, as I did before, I spent as much as I wanted. Without tax increases, I would like to submit a complaint.
The budget is not what they want to make as much as they want. The budget is based on the balance of income from Daming and various demands.
Therefore, if the Ming army wanted to launch a war, its scale and war plan would be approved by the father's emperor, and would be subject to budget restrictions.
This will prevent these people from fighting blindly."
Chongzhen squinted his eyes. Chongzhen felt that the more the army changed, he was less able to understand. The prince seemed to be playing a big game of chess, so big that he, the emperor, felt that he was just a piece on the board, and no longer a chess player.
In fact, in Chongzhen's view, the military system of the Ming Dynasty was perfect enough, so he, the emperor, felt that he had no idea how to start if he wanted to interfere in the military.
A large group of young officers in the General Staff were respectful to him, the emperor, but none of them were loyal and obedient.
Chongzhen knew that human hearts could not withstand temptation. Once he started temptation, it might lead to a gap between the emperor and the prince.
Before Chongzhen could study and understand the operating mechanism of this system and find a place to intervene, his son came over and told himself, "The system is not perfect and needs to be reformed!"
Chongzhen was panicked. He was still young and was not yet in his thirties. He was only twenty-eight years old this year and he didn't want to retire.
Even if the average life span of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is about 40 years old, he can still work for more than ten years.
But now, even though the Ming Dynasty is stable and stable, he feels like he is in turmoil as an emperor.
My son is so outstanding, he is not as a down-to-earth emperor!
I was unwilling to agree with the military reform, but thinking about the prince's eager appearance, the staff members formulated detailed policies for the military reform.
If you disagree, will the people waiting eagerly on the army be disappointed? Will the army be further disinterested?
There were waves of calls against the crown prince in the court, and people who opposed the military and militia one after another. In fact, if there was no emperor's tacit consent, how could this be?
Maybe when Chongzhen himself didn't know that, those who were good at guessing the will of the saint had already seen the emperor's mind.
But it is obvious that so many people have jumped out and have not suppressed the prince. Even now, the prince has a tendency to leave the court's own system.
Once others don’t need you, you can’t threaten others even if you are clamoring.
Chongzhen had a complicated expression: "Emperor, do you still have to go north after the New Year?"
Zhu Cixuan glanced at Chongzhen strangely. Didn’t he talk about the military merit system? Why did he go north again?
Zhu Cilang bowed: "In the next five years, the Ming Dynasty will minimize wars, and the only frictional location will be in northern Xinjiang.
Northern Xinjiang needs to be built and fought against Tsarist Russia. Moreover, these wars often determine the ownership of millions of miles of land. If the sons do not go, they will not be satisfied.
In addition, the principle of going to America has been opened up, and I want to take care of it there."
