Chapter 475 Military Rank System
After announcing the military reorganization plan, the next step is to reward merits and practices.
Wei Zhang was awarded the title of General Yanglie, and the other generals, including soldiers who were favorable to combat, each had their own rewards. Of course, all rewards were implemented according to the military merit system and military rank system formulated by the Military Affairs Office.
After a busy month, Du Ruhui led the Military Affairs Office and finally formulated the military merit system and military rank system in the territory a few days ago, and obtained Ouyang Shuo's approval.
This time, the reward for merits is based on the "Shan Hailing Reward System for Military Merits".
According to the regulations, the rewards of military merits in territorial areas are roughly divided into three categories.
First, reward wealth.
This is the most common and most common type of reward. Gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, equipment and armor, elite war horses, elite weapons, and martial arts secrets, etc. are all rewarded.
Among them, money is the most common.
In the system, there are clear regulations on "how much merit is made and how much rewards are received". From generals to ordinary soldiers, they are all rewarded.
Of course, the reward targets are limited to those with excellent performance.
In other words, the rewards in the army will not be large-scale or flooded. Only those who are the bravest in combat, those who kill the most enemies, and those who establish extraordinary achievements are qualified to receive rewards.
Only in this way can we stimulate the morale of the army and play its due incentive role.
Second, promotion to military rank.
According to the "Shan Hai Leading Military Rank System System", the ranks of territory are divided into generals, lieutenants, lieutenants, soldiers, and soldiers, with a total of five levels and eighteen levels.
The generals are divided into five ranks, the first rank is the highest and the fifth rank is the lowest. Each rank has a specific title and is unique. The lieutenant is divided into three ranks, namely the top rank, the middle rank, and the lower rank.
The lieutenant and the sergeant are both three levels, namely the captain, the lieutenant, the lieutenant, the sergeant, the sergeant and the corporal. The lowest level soldiers are four levels, namely the corporal, the first class, the second class and the private.
Military rank is related to position.
The rank of general is only awarded to the general commander of the division or above. The rank of lieutenant is corresponding to the first level of brigade commander; the rank of lieutenant is corresponding to the first level of battalion; the rank of sergeant is corresponding to the first level of team commander; and the rank of sergeant is corresponding to the first level of fire chief.
In addition, the rank of private soldiers will be awarded only to non-military soldiers. If all new soldiers in each department become regular and the soldiers whose ranks reach the fifth level, they will automatically obtain the rank of private soldiers.
Soldiers under the fifth rank are uniformly called new soldiers and have no military rank.
This standard alone shows the elite soldiers' strategies of Shanhai City. According to this standard, the meaning is very obvious. All the five-level and below are rookies, and they are not even qualified to go to the battlefield.
If you want to put other territories, the fifth-level soldiers can be regarded as elite soldiers.
Each officer has a basic military rank after serving, and the following ranks shall prevail. For example, a soldier is promoted to Fire Chief and automatically obtains the rank of Second Class Private. After making meritorious service, he can be promoted to First Class Private and High Class Private in turn.
Of course, the top corps will reach the top. Only by being promoted to the commander of the team can one be awarded the rank of corps. And so on, the division commanders will automatically obtain the rank of fifth-rank general after taking office.
Military ranks are marked by the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army. Lower officers must unconditionally obey superior officers, which is the iron law in the army. In this way, there will be no problem of command chaos in the war.
Take a battalion as an example. If the battalion is killed, as usual, no one is above the command, and the team has no authority to command, the entire team will immediately become a mess.
With military rank, the situation will be very different.
Once the battalion is killed, according to the military rules, the person with the highest rank in the battalion will automatically be replaced as the temporary commander. If the successor is also killed, the person with the highest rank among the survivors will be replaced. This cycle will continue to fight until it is completely defeated.
This alone is better than a thousand troops, and no territory is as good as a perfect system.
In addition to calibrating the relationship between superiors and subordinates, military rank is also closely related to military salary and salary.
Taking this opportunity, Du Ruhui also made a change in the military pay system of the territory. In the future, military pay will only be linked to military ranks, and will no longer be related to the ranks and positions of soldiers.
For example, before, the monthly military salary of Huo Chang was a unified gold coin. After the change, it was changed to 1 gold coin for the top-class military salary of Huo Chang, 80 silver coin for the first-class military salary of Huo Chang, and 60 silver coin for the second-class military salary of Huo Chang.
If so, the above-mentioned military rank corresponds to the previous standard military pay. In this way, the expenditure on military pay for officers will be reduced invisibly.
You know, the military pay group accounts for about 30% of the military pay expenditure.
But the officers can't say anything about this. The military is respected by martial arts, and they are also fire chiefs. If the second-class soldiers feel that the military pay is low, they will work hard and be promoted to the top-class soldiers.
In this way, it will stimulate the soldiers in the army to make contributions.
Du Ruhui's move is a masterpiece, which has cheated people and has nothing to say.
Correspondingly, the military pay standards for military ranks at all levels have been uniformly adjusted. The basic principle is to use 0.8 as the benchmark. This means that in the same rank, the military pay for military ranks at the next level is only 80% of the previous level.
The sergeant team pays 5 gold coins, the sergeant team pays 4 gold coins, the sergeant team pays 3 gold coins. The sergeant team pays 20 gold coins, the sergeant team pays 15 gold coins, and the sergeant team pays 12 gold coins.
The military salary of the top-grade lieutenant brigade commander is 50 gold coins, the middle-grade lieutenant brigade commander is 40 gold coins, and the low-grade lieutenant brigade commander is 30 gold coins.
The rank of general is different.
According to regulations, the general receives an annual salary, and receives it once a year. The fifth-rank general has an annual salary of 1,000 gold coins, the fourth-rank general has 2,000 gold coins, the third-rank general has 3,000 gold coins, the second-rank general has 4,000 gold coins, and the first-rank general has 5,000 gold coins.
In addition to his annual salary, the general also enjoys other special treatments.
According to regulations, each general is given a general's Mansion in the mountains and seas. Depending on the grade, the specifications of the general's Mansion are different.
For example, Lin Yi is now a fifth-rank general, so he is given a Tiger Power Mansion. Bai Qi is a first-rank general, so he is given a special General.
Ouyang Shuo's arrangements are also to hope that the generals under his command can enjoy the warmth of home in addition to commanding troops and fighting. When returning to Shanhai City, he can have a place to settle down.
According to Gaia's arrangement, the families of historical figures will automatically appear in the wilderness after the dynasty joins the wilderness process, which can be found.
For example, Bai Qi's wife is like this.
Similarly, Sun Bin, Ei Lai, Zhang Han, Wei Zhang and other generals also came to Shanhai City one by one.
In the military rank system, in addition to the different treatment of generals, there are also different regulations on private and even new recruits. Similarly, because of the reduction of military rank and pay, the military pay of soldiers will naturally be lowered.
First to fourth level new soldiers, 20 silver coins for military pay. Privates of the ninth level and below, 40 silver coins for military pay. Elite soldiers of the ten to twelve levels and 60 silver coins for military pay, which is the same as the fire of the second-class soldiers.
Du Ruhui was also cruel. With this reform alone, more than 10% of the military expenditure was reduced. Previously, the average rank of soldiers was a battalion of the fourth level, and the military salary expenditure was 275 gold coins.
After the change, military pay expenditure was directly reduced to 237 gold coins.
By analogy, the military pay expenses of a division were directly reduced from the original 8,250 gold coins to 7,200 gold coins. The expenses of a full legion were around 36,000 gold coins.
The salary for three fully organized legions is roughly around 110,000 gold coins per month.
In order to reduce military expenditure, Du Ruhui took ruthless action this time.
Similarly, the Military Affairs Office also made clear provisions on the military pay of local security forces.
The military pay of the security forces is equivalent to that of the field army, and the military pay is calculated at 80% of the latter. As the security forces guarding the capital, the military pay is paid according to the standards of the field army.
If you have a military rank, you will naturally have corresponding medals.
According to Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the medal was made of dragons as a model and totem.
Generals will wear the Golden Dragon Seal.
The one who distinguishes the grade of the general is the number of golden dragon spitting beads. The fifth-grade general only has one dragon ball; the fourth-grade general has two dragon balls. And so on, the first-grade general is five dragon balls.
The first-rate general has six dragon balls.
As the commander of the entire army, Ouyang Shuo also wore a golden dragon seal when wearing military uniform. The difference is that his golden dragon is a nine-clawed golden dragon. The dragon ball he vomits is also an extremely large golden dragon ball.
Nine-clawed golden dragon, five in front and four in back.
The general's dragon ball is the white dragon ball. The golden dragon is only seven claws, four in front and three in back.
The lieutenant, the lieutenant and the sage correspond to the Silver Dragon Chapter, the Iron Dragon Chapter and the Copper Dragon Chapter respectively. The upper, middle and lower three ranks correspond to three dragon balls, two dragon balls and one dragon ball.
The material of each dragon seal corresponds one by one to the title.
For example, the Golden Dragon Chapter is made of gold.
As for the lowest level of military rank, they have no right to wear the dragon seal. Their medals are also made of bronze, and the marks are the intersection of Tang swords and heavy swords. If they distinguish the levels, they are bars.
Private, one bar; Private, two bars; and so on, Private is four bars.
There is no doubt that the formulation and implementation of military ranks marks another solid step in the Shanhaicheng army on the road to the professionalization of the army.
One of the major tasks of this military reorganization is to award ranks to all soldiers of the army.
According to the arrangements of the Military Affairs Office, the awarding ceremony will be held immediately after the military reorganization is completed.
At that time, Ouyang Shuo will personally preside over the title ceremony.
The last category of military merit rewards is the title of title.
Needless to say, in ancient times, titles were rewards that were heavier than military ranks, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were the greatest rewards. Anyone who obtained a title would be enough to glorify the ancestors.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo, as a Marquis of Lianzhou or a Protector of the Southern Xinjiang, did not have the power to grant titles to his subordinates or generals.
Only the lord of a country can award titles.
Therefore, the third type of reward can only be kept on the files formulated by the Military Affairs Office and cannot be implemented yet. You must wait until the founding of the country before you can be awarded the title.
Chapter completed!
