Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 286 The First Anti-Bandit Alliance ([-])
After Qiu Tianxing took his seat, the meeting began.

The first to report was Ni Zhan from the Military and Political Department.After the war of 10 people was fought, the casualties of the troops, the reward and punishment plan for the soldiers, the subsequent retirement of the regiment members and the recruitment of new members, etc., should also be counted.Such a heavy workload can keep the staff officers of the Military and Political Department very busy. Fortunately, they have enough time now, and they don't need to work around the clock like before when the war was raging.However, the current military and political department is still the busiest department after the regiment office.

Regarding the statistics of soldiers killed and injured in battle, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had already reported to Qiu Tianxing before, so this time Ni Zhan mainly reported the reward and punishment plan.

After a great battle, many people were killed and injured, and many people were rewarded for their meritorious deeds.In particular, the Security Corps has implemented the sixth-class system of Dukes, uncles and men, and it is also a troublesome thing to convert general merits into title rewards.Now, the soldiers are all watching helplessly. If the title is not rewarded well, the soldiers will have objections.

"Chairman, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is going to reward the soldiers who have performed well in this battle. There are three kinds of rewards. The medal of merit has been transformed into a title." Ni Zhan stood up and said.

After hearing what Ni Zhan said, Qiu Tianxing nodded.In fact, increasing the number of job fields means increasing the number of owned lands. Of course, these lands are just use rights.If you don’t use it or don’t rent it out, the Military and Political Department will take care of it in a unified way. At that time, the owner of the job field only needs to collect the rent on time.Although the income in the workplace is not much, the advantage is stability, just like an annuity.

Meritorious medals are medals for commending military merits, which are divided into individual and collective.Whether it is an individual or a collective, there are fourth-class merit medals, which are divided into special merit medals, first-class merit medals, second-class merit medals and third-class merit medals.Of course, the honor of individual merit medals is higher than that of collective merit medals.

The post-war seizures with generous rewards had already been distributed at the end of the war, and this was all done by the main battle troops themselves.

After a pause, after Qiu Tianxing digested what he said, Ni Zhan continued to report.

"This time military merit is converted into titles. The Military and Political Department has decided to adopt a military merit point system. Individual special merit points will be awarded four points, personal first-class merit will be awarded three points, personal second-class merit will be awarded two points, and individual third-class merit will be awarded one point. Collectively, it will be halved."

Nodding his head, Qiu Tianxing signaled Ni Zhan to continue.

Seeing that Qiu Tianxing agreed, Ni Zhan looked at the document in his hand and continued to read.

"Now it is tentatively determined that the points required for third-class honors are [-] points, for second-class honors is [-] points, for first-class honors is [-] points, and the points for honors above are to be determined."

"So strict?" Qiu Tianxing asked in surprise.

It takes five times of personal special merit to exchange for a third-class lord, and it takes ten times of collective work, which is extremely difficult.

"Chairman, titles are not mortal weapons and cannot be rewarded easily. Only those officers and soldiers who have made great achievements can get them. Every soldier who receives a title is a well-deserved leader in the army. This will prevent the title from being given indiscriminately, and will let the The title reward is valuable! Since ancient times, things are worth less if they are less, and they are worthless if they are too much."

"But it's just so difficult for a lord, what about titles above a lord?" Qiu Tianxing asked after thinking for a moment.

If the title of the security regiment has been kept low, I am afraid it will also violate the original intention of establishing the title system.At that time, everyone will be swarming with the title of Lord and Baron, not even a Viscount, it will not look good to go out.

"Chairman, please rest assured. If the meritorious service is too great, the chairman can directly confer the title, so that the process of exchanging military merits can be bypassed. After all, the main target of exchanging military merits is middle and low-level officers." Ni Zhan quickly explained.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Tianxing nodded his head, which means he has uncovered the matter.So Ni Zhan continued to report.

"Since titles are rare, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has also formulated a slightly more flexible policy, that is, soldiers can use the commission of income captured after the war or the rewards of the field to convert meritorious points, so that they can get the title earlier. It depends on how the soldiers choose."

"Well, that's good, it can save some money. But you can't just use honor to fool the soldiers. After all, they can't be replaced by a mere empty title! You can't eat or drink something like a title. Yes, but there is no such thing as money and food." Qiu Tianxing said with a frown.

Seeing that the chairman of the committee seemed a little dissatisfied, Ni Zhan hurriedly explained.

"Chairman, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has formulated a solution, but it needs the cooperation of the government."

"Well, let's talk about it first." Qiu Tianxing looked at Ni Zhan and said.

"Chairman, the preliminary plan formulated by the Military and Political Department is that titles can be promoted with extra points. If two military officers have similar abilities and qualifications when they are promoted, the one with the highest title will be promoted first. In addition, the Military and Political Department recommends that those with titles There are discounts on stock purchases and tax payments."

After saying this, Ni Zhan stared closely at Qiu Tianxing's face.In fact, the first half was okay, but the second half suggested that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had exceeded its authority. It is a taboo for the military to intervene in government affairs.But Ni Zhan can't help it. He has to do this for the welfare of the soldiers.Otherwise, what can a mere title do after leaving the army?
Not only Ni Zhan, but also Liu Jincai, Zhao Rong, Wang Fu, Wang Yanxi and others present here also looked at Qiu Tianxing eagerly. After all, this is a matter closely related to the big guys.

After pondering for a while, Qiu Tianxing spoke slowly.

"Tax reduction and exemption is not acceptable, otherwise you will follow the old path of the previous Ming Dynasty. Those with titles do not pay taxes. What is the difference between officials and gentry in the previous Ming Dynasty who did not pay taxes? However, it is still possible to implement the reduction and exemption system for stock purchases. I will look for them at that time. Minister Li said, let the Ministry of Industry and Commerce formulate a reasonable reduction ratio according to the rank of the title. Well, the title should be implemented in the army first. If the implementation is good, it will be extended to the government. "

After hearing what Qiu Tianxing said, everyone became happy.Now most of their income is related to dividends from stocks, who still lives on that meager salary?After the knighthood system is implemented, they will definitely have knighthoods. If they can buy stocks with a discount, it will be a big profit!
When the committee members were immersed in joy, Qiu Tianxing said again.

"It's almost a month after the war, and your military and political department should distribute the rewards as soon as possible, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers. But at the same time, you should also be stricter in the review of military merits, and beware of false claims and false reports. Minister Ni , Has the defense area of ​​several battalions been divided now? There are also new battalions and what establishments will be established on the battalions, and what plans does the Military and Political Department have?"
