Chapter 1397 Twelve Revolutions of Honor

After Huan Xuan reported on the enlistment of soldiers, it was Zhang Tan's turn to report on the dispatch of rations.

Although Zhang Tan is called the prefect of Wei County, Wei County, where Yedi is located, still has no administrative structure. Naturally, he has no government affairs to do as a prefect. He mainly cooperates with military operations. There is also the presiding over the reorganization and recruiting of surrendered people and captives.

Living in this world requires a certain amount of luck. Zhang Tan didn't feel too deeply about this before, but now he firmly believes it.In just over a year, he has turned from a general of the Jie Kingdom to a high-ranking official, and his encounters are not uncommon.

With the full launch of the Northern Expedition, quite a number of Hebei Shiliu sects took the initiative to take refuge in Xingtai, unwilling to die for the Jie Kingdom.Among them, there are many people with family reputation and prestige, including those who were far above him in the old days, but these people lack great achievements, but Zhang Tan has made great achievements in following the Fenwu Army to destroy the Xiangguo, and he will be rewarded for his achievements. , becoming Hebei's current No. 1 Yuxingtai, and it was also very beautiful for a while.

Steeply approaching the high position, he has access to more Xingtai military and political secrets, and Zhang Tan also has a deeper understanding of Xingtai's heritage and power.

Not to mention anything else, since the start of the war alone, the amount of grain and grass that has been transported to the front lines has reached millions of hu.And the prefect of Weijun where he lived was only one of the supply bases for the king's division in the middle road. In addition, there were also Dunqiu, Jijun, Hanoi and other counties that were all in charge of affairs, and at the same time accepted the governor of millet. of temperance.

In other words, since the war started in May, the grain and grass transported northward by the middle road alone has reached more than 15 million hu. If the grain and grass that need to be invested in local reconstruction are not considered, the grain and grass transported to Hebei at the moment are enough to support the middle road. The [-] army spent two full years.

Xingtai has such a strong endurance for war, even if it is hard to stand still, it is enough to kill the country of Jie!

After explaining the logistics, Zhang Tan took a peek at the general's expression, and said boldly: "Recently, I have been wandering around in the army to appease and appease, and there are many rural models among them. To be able to donate to the country, and to help the war bravely..."

"This matter is not in a hurry. At present, the situation in southern Hebei is still fierce. You can't be an enemy unless you are brave. Although Xiangyi is kind and generous, you can't ignore the danger and rashly gather troops to fight. It's not a good thing."

Before Zhang Tan finished speaking, Shen Zhezi raised his hand to veto the matter.

On the one hand, it is natural that the current king's division is fully dominant. Whether it is the number of soldiers, morale, or the direction of the war in the future, there is no need to enlist soldiers from Hebei counties and counties to participate in the war.

On the other hand, he still doesn't trust these captives. If they are armed, it is not ruled out that they will take the opportunity to cause chaos.Right now these people seem to be obedient, but once they have swords and guns in their hands, their thoughts and plans will naturally be different.

Of course, when it comes to the real governance of Hebei, these rural righteousness cannot be completely left aside.At present, the tens of thousands of troops of the Central Route Army are distributed among the counties and counties that have been recovered, and it is still impossible to cover everything and have no loopholes.

Afterwards, the war continued, and more territories were recovered. Local guards and purges were difficult to achieve with the strength of the Wang Shi headquarters alone. Part of the power needed to be delegated to the local township justice to be responsible for local guards.

However, Shen Zhezi did not intend to attract these Hebei rural households into the ruling structure before destroying Xianguo.Even if you need to absorb part of it later, you must have a choice of rules.

"The righteousness of the township should not be let down, but the task of rehabilitating the government is heavy, and it cannot be chosen without talent. Later, I will dispatch some of the secret courts to follow Mr. Zhang to be responsible for the selection of talents. The strategy test is essential. The Five Soldiers of Houxingtai will go north to preside over it, and teach according to their talents."

In Hebei right now, rules and regulations have been completely abolished, and old laws are completely absent. Although the countryside has grown wildly, under the pressure of the army of the king, there is no trouble at all.Faced with the ruins of this system, Shen Zhezi will naturally not be polite. If he wants to join the order of the stage, he must follow my rules.

At this moment, Xie Shang hurried in again outside the big tent. First, he was late in apologizing, and then he asked people to carry several large boxes full, and reported to the front: "Military honors are reformed, the strategy is drafted, and in May Afterwards, the affairs of the Northern Expedition have been covered here, and I respectfully invite the general to read Fuzheng."

"We have already done?"

After Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, and when he saw that Xie Shang looked haggard and thin, he also nodded and said: "It's really hard work for Renzu."

While speaking, he got up and went down, flipping through some of the books presented by Xie Shang, with a wider smile on his face.

Xie Shang was mainly responsible for the meritorious service reform during this period, that is to change the count of first-class merits performed in the Wang Shijun into twelve-rank military merits.

With the increasing number of Wang Shifu, the territory controlled by Xingtai is also increasing, and the original Jiagong system is no longer suitable. Shen Zhezi has long had the idea of ​​​​reforming the military merit system, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. .It coincided with this large-scale Northern Expedition, and Wang Shi and all walks of life gathered in Hebei, just taking advantage of this opportunity to carry out a relatively in-depth reform.

The original Jiagong system was specific to individual soldiers and based on Jiagong sending food.This method of counting meritorious service is more accurate, and can ensure the merits of each soldier in a more detailed manner.

However, such a method of counting work is too cumbersome and requires higher execution power.When this military merit system was formulated in the early years, Xingtai was only the Huainan Governor's Mansion, and even Yuzhou was not under control, and the army of the king was only tens of thousands of soldiers, so it was easy to implement.

However, as Master Wang became more and more powerful and the battle line became longer and longer, this method of counting merit was no longer reasonable.In the old years, the food sent by Jia Gong could be directly allocated by the villages in several counties in Huainan, but now most of the farms have been converted into military residences, and it is no longer possible to bear the burden of food sent by Jia Gong.

What's more, the Wang Shiyuan led by Yu Manzhi is far away in Longyou. Does Jiagong want to send food to Guanzhong or Heluo?This also involves the difficulty of coordinating military governments in various places, coupled with the huge consumption of food transportation, the cost of implementation is even higher.Therefore, starting from Xizheng Guanzhong, the original Jiagong no longer sent food, but directly distributed Jiagong into money and silk.

But in this way, there is another problem of price fluctuations. Although Xingtai has been monitoring the financial aspect well in recent years, prices have not fluctuated too much, and the original currency reform in Huainan has also been directly quoted in Xingtai to continue. However, due to the frequent occurrence of wars, fluctuations in specific areas are unavoidable.

When soldiers make meritorious service on the battlefield, they fight for their lives with their heads in their hands. If there is no fair and upright value scale to measure military merits, how can we talk about the morale of the army and the courage to fight against the enemy?The reform of military merits has been sworn to be done.

Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi did not try his best to be unconventional, and gave full play to the doctrine of borrowing, and directly used the twelve-turn official system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in later generations.Of course, it is not a complete copy of the system. After all, the basic organizational form of the Xingtai Wangshi is still different from the army of the Tang Dynasty. The basic military government system is also limited to the characteristics of the times and adapted to local conditions.

Therefore, this honorary officer system is also combined with the current world situation, and the details have been changed to a certain extent to make it more in line with the current situation.

Twelve ranks of honorary officers, with a fixed grade and clear military rank, this is a direct abandonment of the official rank and salary level since the Qin and Han Dynasties, making the grade more intuitive and accurate.

This is also the beginning of the overall reform of the official system. The reform of the official system is not just as simple as changing a name. It also includes many changes in ideology, division of duties, etc., which is the most superficial manifestation of a system reform.If there is no correct understanding from top to bottom, and a clear definition of authority, the reform of the official system similar to Wang Mang's is nothing but nonsense.

Compared with the all-encompassing and involved in government affairs, the changes in the military system have less impact on the world, and General Shen also has stronger control over the army. The reform of the honorary officer system is an attempt to reform the overall official system in the future. and foreshadowing.

Xie Shang has been in charge of this aspect of restructuring during this period of time.In fact, Shen Zhezi's preferred host is Jiang He, but Jiang He is still trapped in Liangzhou and has not returned. In addition, the original plan to let Xie Shang take over He Xi's Ministry of Rites has also changed a little bit, so Xie Shang will be temporarily appointed. Appointed as the internal history of the general's office, he presided over the reform of this system.

In terms of reform, in the current war period, the actions should not be too big.It's like preparing to abolish the miscellaneous general ranks that have gradually spread since the later Han Dynasty. This is not appropriate at the moment. Although the deprivation of the title does not affect the real power, but there are obviously no mistakes and even military merits. Suddenly the original general rank is Being deprived, after all, some people can't let go.

Therefore, the current reform is mainly in the calculation of merit. The original [-]-class merits below the captain will be converted into one turn, and the number of turns will be converted based on the actual situation if the captain is above.Afterwards, the Taiwan honors are mainly based on the meritorious officers.

For example, Shen Mu's great victory in southern Hebei last year, although the actual award has not yet been issued, but Shen Mu Jixun is the top guard, and his generals are awarded guards and captains for their merits, giving people a gradual acceptance process. The conclusion of this Northern Expedition is a complete and thorough reform of the military system, and all the strange and miscellaneous names of the old years are all abolished.

Shen Zhezi also had some expectations. According to the standards of honored officers, how many people under his command could be honored with the title of Shangzhu Kingdom after this battle is over.Afterwards, the restoration of the entire Hebei Province and the rural governance at the lower and grassroots levels will inevitably be selected and appointed from the collective of honored officials. The top rank is Zhu Guo, and the bottom rank is Bailihou. play its role.

Before the arrival of a prosperous age that is not fully unified and internal and external troubles are settled, the huge military system under his command is the biggest reliance behind Shen Zhezi.
