Chapter 274 Military Merit
There must be a supporting system of military merits for granting military merits.

Qin Shangyang's reforms, farming and fighting to establish a country, from Gongshi to Chehou, each level has clear requirements for the head.

The food, etiquette, food town, and annual salary of each level are different.

There are also punishments such as whipping, beheading, and beheading to punish officials who are ineffective in combat and incompetent.

To imitate Qin's system, it is necessary to have a huge bureaucratic system as support, which is precisely Xiping's shortcoming.

However, in the long history, there is another system that can be used for reference.

Zhixun twelve turn, reward hundred thousand strong!
The twelve-turn military merit system passed down from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Zheng vaguely remembered that he rose from the lowest rank of Wu Qiwei to the twelfth rank of Shangzhu Kingdom.

It is simpler and clearer than that of Daqin. It is not based on the head count, but based on the process and victory of each war, the meritorious service is calculated uniformly.

According to the scale, strength, and equipment of the war, "going to the battle" means "going to the battle" with fewer hits, "middle battle" with more hits and less.

Killing more than [-]% of the enemy is "top gain", killing two enemies is "middle gain", and killing one enemy is "lower gain".

To sum up, it is five ranks for going up and down, and three ranks for going up and down, and so on.

Regardless of the fact that there are only [-] ranks, there are very few people who have truly reached the second rank of Shangzhu Kingdom through military exploits.

During the period of Emperor Li Er, famous generals like clouds, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Li Ji and other well-known generals fought for 30 years, and they were awarded the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom".

Can a dynasty have Qin Qiong and Li Ji?
How many Li Jings can a nation have?

The Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty was not obtained through military exploits.

The long river of history is rolling forward, and the twelve ranks of military merit itself are also improved from the military merit system of the Warring States Qin and Han Dynasties, which is much more in line with the times than the twenty-level military merit title system of the Great Qin Dynasty.

It is also easier to implement.

Xuan Yilang was sent to the village, and there were also positions such as Sima in the army, which could be used for examinations.

It's bright, and there's nine campers in the dark.

The triple examination system does not belong to each, and there is no way to hide the false report of military merit.

There will be no Qin army fighting each other for the first rank.

There will be no such thing as killing good people and pretending to be meritorious in the late Ming Dynasty.

Yang Zheng felt that the great martial arts in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties had a lot to do with the military skills of the Twelve Turns.

The passage for the soldiers to ascend was opened, and naturally everyone took their lives.

After Yang Zheng discussed with Du Yu for three full days, the Xiping version of the Twelve Army Merit System was released.

Jiashi, Warrior, Warrior, Yunqilang, Feiqilang, Xiaoqilang, Yingjilang, Huweilang, Yingyanglang General, Tiger Benlang General, Guarding Army, Shangguarding Army, corresponding to the first to twelve rotations, respectively, From the seventh grade to the second grade.

Of course, the grade is temporarily vacant.

Yang Zheng, a third-rank eunuch, and a second-rank guard, is a bit too sensational.

Each level has clearly marked annual salary, land property, and treatment.

One hundred acres for soldiers, two hundred acres for warriors, four hundred acres for warriors, increasing to ten acres for the guards.

One hectare in the Han and Wei dynasties was almost 240 mu.

In addition, Yang Zheng also stipulated that Yun Qilang and above must pay taxes to avoid the generation of a gentry class similar to the Ming Dynasty.

A victory in the battle has a clear number of enemy troops. Only by defeating more than [-] enemy troops with fewer victories can it be called a battle, and only when it kills or captures more than [-] enemies can it be called a superior victory.

So rank five military merit is not so easy to get.

In a victory, it is impossible for everyone to be Fei Qilang who won the fifth rank in the battle.

Instead, according to the size of the credit, from the main general to the deputy general, Yajiang, Quchang, Tuenchang, soldiers, etc., they are evaluated in order, and then awarded.

Soldiers who do not meet the requirements for meritorious service will record military merits based on the results of battles. After accumulating, they can also be awarded meritorious service.

In short, after a victory, the soldiers must gain.

After accumulating military merits for five years, they will automatically be converted into soldiers, which is regarded as a consolation prize.

Above the military ranks, you need real military merit.

In addition, for particularly brave soldiers and generals, there are also merits such as beheading generals, ascending first, capturing the flag, and breaking the formation, which can be awarded to some brave men.

Where there are rewards, there are punishments.

The military merit system of the Great Qin Dynasty is not only promoted but not degraded, such as punishment, punishment, castration, life burial, car splitting, beheading, implicating and so on.

Once it is too cruel, if people are useless, there will be no chance to correct it next time.

Secondly, in this way, once the soldiers make mistakes, they will flee in panic.

Du Yu suggested that only the five methods of whipping, lowering honors, punishing salaries, beheading, and killing clans should be adopted.

There are corresponding punishment measures for deserters, cowardice, private hiding, incompetent generals, defeats, lost cities, lost troops, mutiny, etc., and the traitors are Yi people.

It was so detailed that Xuan Yilang was killed in battle, and all the troops he belonged to would be punished.

Yangyang scattered nearly ten thousand words, and finally got the military merit system out.

Du Yu repeated the review several times before he was satisfied, "Once this method comes out, our army will surely become the army of tigers and wolves."

After reading it, Lu Zhi was also amazed.

Then both of them bowed their hands to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng blushed and laughed dryly, "This is not my fault alone."

This set of military merit system has undergone improvements in the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, tested for 500 years, and collapsed with the collapse of the prosperous Tang Dynasty until the Anshi Rebellion.

Yang Zheng summoned Pang Qing, "Before the autumn harvest, this system must be publicized throughout the army."

Pang Qing smiled wryly, "Xuan Yilang is not yet fully staffed in all the armies, and the people and captives who migrated to Yongliang recently need Xuan Yilang..."

"You only need to announce the four folds in the meander of the river. After the autumn harvest, the other folds will be filled slowly." Du Yu suggested.

Yang Zheng nodded, it would be good to try it out in Hequ first, and said to Lu Zhi, "Young Ying also hopes that Uncle will take care of it."

Currently in the Youth Camp, Zhang Ting enlightens, Lu Zhi teaches, and Yang Zheng personally focuses on ideological education.

The rest of martial arts, battle formation, art of war, arithmetic, etc., are taught by specialized personnel.

Even Du would teach some arithmetic and classics when he had spare time.

The six arts of a gentleman, rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, do not just cling to the Confucian classics.

Out of pragmatism, Yang Zheng downgraded etiquette and music to one level, which are like elective courses for later generations. Besides, Xiping does not have the conditions to engage in music.

Yu Ze changed to riding, and it is impossible to know how to ride in the northwest.

In addition, Yang Zheng also added doctors and farmers to the youth camp.

Farming is more important than anything these days, and it is also the foundation of everything.

With frequent wars, the importance of medicine is self-evident.

However, it has been unable to find a good doctor, and the recruiting department has been unable to recruit people, so it can only be left empty and encourage the private sector to open medical clinics.

"This is inevitable." Lu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Du Kuan, the Prime Minister of Recruiting Talents, is also a well-educated person, so he can concurrently serve in the youth camp."

Yang Zheng was full of opinions on Du Kuan, an old boy, and he was arrogant and arrogant. He also played a set game, but he was a mess in his work.

The recruiting department has been working for so long, and only a few second- and third-rate figures from Liangzhou have been recruited.

If it wasn't for Du Yu's face, Yang Zheng would have told him to pack up and leave.

Find something for him to do, too.

Yang Zheng, Du Yu, and Lu Zhi, no one objected, which meant that this system could be implemented.

As soon as the various details were finalized, Meng Guan shouted out of the hall in a hurry: "Report to the general, there is military information!"
