Of course, although the current population of Xinghai Kingdom has reached 7.3 million, there are actually 5 million people who have not yet been fully mobilized. This requires a full complement of naturalized civilian officials and technical personnel who go to Zhejiang, Jiangshu, Anhui and other places. Only after they become familiar with the work can they be gradually mobilized to allow these people to join the industrial and agricultural construction of Xinghai Kingdom.
Compared with the first-line troops, it is more troublesome to create second-line garrison troops and third-line reserve troops.
After all, the second and third lines are completely re-framed.
Well, in order to better implement this military strategy, under the chairmanship of Fang Xiaoyue, the Senate passed the "Regulations on the Service of Soldiers and Officers".
To put it simply, after an officer has served at the rank of lieutenant for eight years, if he is unwilling to continue serving, he can withdraw from the front-line force, or transfer to a garrison force, a reserve force, or social employment.
After serving for thirteen years at the first level of a school officer, he can withdraw from the front-line army and transfer to the garrison force, reserve force, and social employment.
There is no limit to the rank of general officer and he can retire.
Officers at all levels above can receive generous annuities of corresponding levels after retiring from active service or retiring.
The same is true for soldiers. If a first-class soldier cannot be converted into a sergeant after serving for three years, he can retire from active service and be transferred to the garrison force, reserve force, or social employment.
The service life of sergeants and sergeants is from five to thirteen years. The fifth-level sergeants have the same treatment as major generals and can retire.
Of course, if you are injured in battle, you can be directly transferred to the garrison force, reserve force, social employment, etc.
After the service regulations for soldiers and officers were passed, Xinghai Daily made a large announcement on the masthead.
The imperial merchant envoy sent by the Qing court was worried about how to complete the task assigned by his master, when he saw the propaganda in Xinghai Daily.
After reading it, his eyes bulged.
Simply incredible!
absurd! absurd!
This was his first intuitive feeling.
In his opinion, when did soldiers enjoy such good treatment?
If I no longer serve as a soldier, can I still receive money every year?
This simply subverted his three views.
Well, for Huang Shang, this is simply unacceptable.
It's like how uncomfortable the landlord would feel when he saw that the beggar was full of food and had big fish and meat for every meal.
However, the emperor merchant also understood something from this. No wonder the Star Navy was so good at fighting. Even the invincible Eight Banners soldiers were beaten to death in front of them.
This also made his inner anxiety become more intense.
The people of Xinghai have a completely different view on this than the imperial merchants. On the streets, the people are in a happy mood.
Because in Xinghai City, it is probably the city with the highest recruitment rate in the entire Xinghai Kingdom.
It can be said that almost every household, or relatives and friends, have children who are soldiers. There are even many children who have been promoted to sergeants and sergeants because of their outstanding performance in combat. Some of them went to the Army Academy and Naval Academy to study and become officers. They abound.
After all, there are only two hundred veteran officers in total, and many of them work in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
This makes the number of veteran officers extremely scarce, and it is basically impossible to arrange them at the company, platoon level, and even the battalion level officers to have some naturalized civilians.
Under such circumstances, Xinghai Kingdom has improved the treatment of retired soldiers and officers, which undoubtedly makes them feel happy.
The first batch of soldiers from the Xinghai Kingdom to retire and join the garrison and reserve forces also made their choices based on this premise.
After all, not every soldier wants to fight until old age.
Besides, when the time limit is up, you must make a choice.
After all, as you age, your physical fitness and other aspects will continue to decline.
This requires younger soldiers to replace them and maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.
Soldiers with rich combat experience will be promoted in rank after retiring and entering the garrison and reserve forces.
A private first class is promoted to sergeant, a sergeant first class is promoted to sergeant second class, and a sergeant major first class is promoted to sergeant major second class.
Well, in fact, among this group of retired soldiers, there are very few first-class sergeants. After all, for the Ministry of Military Affairs, as long as they are sergeants, they are very valuable command talents.
Even though their educational level may be very low and they cannot meet the threshold to enter the Army Academy or Naval Academy, their existence can make it easier for platoon commanders, company commanders and even battalion commanders to command operations, and even check for leaks and fill vacancies, preventing some An accident happened.
Of course, like sergeants, there are very few officers in this batch.
This gives many senior sergeants the opportunity to study in military academies. After their three-month short-term training, they can be promoted to officers in the garrison or reserve forces.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
As for soldiers who want to completely leave the military system and find employment in society, there are basically no soldiers.
Everyone is not stupid. Although you will get an annuity when you are employed in the society, you still have to adapt to society again. Compared with directly transferring to the second or third tier, many people find it difficult to accept psychologically.
When more than 20,000 soldiers were being decommissioned and transferred to second- and third-line troops, the imperial merchant envoy finally found the opportunity to meet with the new chief veteran Fang Xiaoyue.
Well, Fang Xiaoyue knew quite a lot about this imperial merchant envoy.
This guy is actually a big traitor, well, the kind recorded in history books.
Before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, this guy had been delivering various materials to the Qing court for a long time, thereby making huge profits.
It is precisely because of this that after the Qing government captured the country, this guy and his group were given a banquet by the Qing emperor, granted official titles, and were naturalized in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They became the so-called imperial merchants and were loyal to the Qing government for generations.
Take this guy as an example. He was given the rank of Fengzheng, a second-grade top wearer, and it can be described as a moment of glory.
Fang Xiaoyue naturally felt uncomfortable looking at such a traitorous guy seeking glory.
But for the next strategy of Xinghai Kingdom, he had to meet him and fool the Qing court.
In fact, due to the division of the first, second and third lines, a large number of soldiers were transferred to the second and third lines, and a large number of new soldiers were added, making it impossible for the Xinghai Kingdom to launch a large-scale attack on the Qing court in a short period of time.
But naturally it was impossible to tell Huang Shang the reason.
Fang Xiaoyue's general idea was that Xinghai Kingdom was willing to discuss peace with the Qing court, but the specific details depended on the Qing court's sincerity.
Hearing this, Huang Shang was overjoyed.
I didn’t expect that with my own efforts, Xinghai Kingdom could be solved so easily.
It seemed that the heavy gift he gave to the chief elder had an effect.
Of course, he didn't know that Fang Xiaoyue didn't appreciate his generous gift at all.
