Su He and civil and military officials determined the system.
The next step is the most important task, reward based on merit.
Su He has already determined everyone's rewards.
When discussing the title system, Su He made it clear that there would be no hereditary substitution.
All titles are reduced and hereditary, and the descendants have no ability. After a few generations, they can only be ordinary people.
The titles are divided into three major levels: king, duke and marquis. Each title is divided into three levels, making a total of nine levels.
The title has privileges, but no tax exemption.
There are rewards during the holidays, but there is no salary for the title.
The Ming Dynasty has now begun to default on the salary of the clan. Some of the Ming Dynasty clan members cannot buy food and starve to death.
Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants passed it on from generation to generation, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the clan had a population of hundreds of thousands.
Their salaries are a huge expense to the country.
Su He only granted the title of two county princes this time, and did not grant any large-scale titles to the king.
Su Xiong was granted the title of Marquis of Fengxian County, and Su Zhuang was granted the title of Marquis of Baoxian County.
When Lord Hong established the institution, he sealed a large group of princes, which eventually led to a situation where no one could be sealed and there was great internal strife.
Suhe used medals to reward those who had meritorious deeds, and made a total of five kinds of medals: jade, gold, silver, copper and iron.
Each medal includes certain privileges, but also does not include tax exemptions.
Those who receive medals have the most basic privilege and are given priority for promotion under the same conditions.
Anyone who can obtain three jade medals will be named a county marquis.
Officers receive the highest number of medals.
Su Hu and Li Fengming received the Jade Medal.
Su Ying, Zhou Kai, Li Dazhuang and Zhang Yuliang received gold medals.
Other officers who have made meritorious service at the regimental and battalion levels are awarded silver medals.
Grassroots officers who have made meritorious service will receive the Bronze Medal.
Ordinary soldiers who have made great achievements also receive bronze medals.
Most soldiers can receive an Iron Medal.
There is only one civil servant, Li Zhisheng, who received a gold medal for his meritorious service in logistics management.
Among those who received the silver medal were Wang Zhongce, Jin Yinhua and others.
The Bronze Medal is awarded to some officials who have made meritorious services.
The awarding of titles and medals was quickly completed, and Su He was ready to announce the major positions in the commanding office.
He himself served as the Governor of the Governor's Office, Li Fengming served as Chief of Staff, and Su Ying served as Minister of Military Police.
The army is undergoing a new round of expansion in order to prevent the army from being untrained and having its combat effectiveness weakened like Su He did in Lueyang City.
Suhe adopted the method of veterans leading new recruits to quickly form combat effectiveness of the army.
This time the army expanded, a total of two divisions and three special brigades were formed.
Su Xiong was appointed commander of the first division.
Su Hu was appointed as the commander of the first brigade, Su Shi was appointed as the commander of the second brigade, and Su Shan was appointed as the commander of the third brigade.
Su Zhuang was appointed commander of the Second Division.
Wu Jie was appointed as the commander of the first brigade, Wang Heshang was appointed as the commander of the second brigade, and Su Li was appointed as the commander of the third brigade.
Li Dazhuang was appointed as the commander of the Guards Brigade, Zhang Yuliang was appointed as the commander of the Artillery Brigade, and Li Qingmu was appointed as the Commander of the Navy Brigade.
Su He's appointment was issued, and the officers' eyes became hot.
They did not expect that they would also make great achievements and immediately seek a prince to secure a future for their children and grandchildren.
Su He ordered: "Chief of Staff Li Fengming, train a group of qualified brigade-level staff officers as soon as possible and add them to each unit."
To train staff officers, we need scholars who understand military affairs.
The current education time in the army is too short and it cannot train soldiers to serve as staff officers. It can only recruit scholars.
There are too few such talents, and now we can only ensure that each regiment has one staff officer.
Battalion-level staff officers, if there are not enough people, can only be cancelled.
"Vacancies for officers are recommended by each brigade, and those who are literate and have received medals are given priority. After being reviewed by the Governor's Office, they will be officially appointed."
After Su He announced the military appointments, he began to appoint civilian departments.
Wu Donglin served as the Minister of Dali Temple and concurrently as the executioner of Dali Temple in Hanzhong Prefecture.
Wang Zhongce, the official minister, also served as the prefect of Hanzhong.
Li Zhisheng, Minister of Household Affairs.
Zhou Kai, acting minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
Zhang Dezhi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Su Wuniu, the minister.
Other positions are vacant.
Zhou Kai was the most special. He made great contributions to open up Chencang Road and bought valuable time for the army.
Later, as the injury worsened, the leg had to be amputated.
Zhou Kai studied hard in the army and has now learned to write.
Su He needed to find examples again to boost morale.
Let him act as Minister first to see if his ability can adapt to the position.
After the appointment, Su He said: "There are still many vacancies. I will then inspect suitable talents and let them fill the vacancies."
The vacant positions are the carrots placed in front of the scholars.
Attracting hesitant readers to join their ranks.
Magistrates in various counties have been appointed before, and some should arrive at their respective places.
There are two other important people, but Su He did not appoint them publicly.
Zhang Wansi, the former commander of the reconnaissance battalion, was ordered to form a cavalry battalion.
Su He finally managed to collect 500 healthy horses, all of which were given to him for use.
In this era, the role of cavalry was very important.
Su Chang wins over Su Ergou. His current position is a regimental commander of the Guards Brigade, but this is only a temporary position.
His true identity is that he is the leader of a secret service unit and is engaged in intelligence work.
After Su He appointed the official positions, he led the officers out of Lingyun Palace.
There were many soldiers standing outside the hall. These soldiers were all soldiers who had made great achievements in this war.
They are all recipients of the Silver or Bronze Medal.
The soldiers stood outside Lingyun Palace in neat military appearance.
Su He stepped forward and said loudly: "Soldiers, our cause has initially been successful, and I want to share the fruits of victory with everyone.
Winners of the Silver Medal will be awarded two hundred taels of silver, and winners of the Bronze Medal will be awarded fifty taels of silver.
Winners of the Silver Medal will be rewarded with a private house in Hanzhong Prefecture.
Winners of the Silver Medal and Iron Medal can let their families borrow land near Hanzhong Mansion.
These are fertile fields and irrigated fields.
Tomorrow we will arrange blind dates for the unmarried medal winners so that everyone can find a wife. "
Suhe now mainly rewards soldiers with money and honors, and no longer rewards land.
However, the salary of soldiers has not changed. It is still one acre of land per year. Only with this salary can we recruit enough soldiers.
Junior officers heard about this treatment.
He excitedly waved the military flag in his hand and shouted: "Long live, long live."
The soldiers were led by them and shouted together: "Long live, long live."
Su He came to a special military formation amidst a cry of long live.
Most of them are disabled soldiers with missing arms and legs.
After a lightly wounded soldier is healed, he becomes an excellent veteran.
These disabled soldiers, they can't become a soldier again.
“Soldiers, you have received your pension.
But that doesn't mean I will give up on you.
My promise is always valid and will support you throughout your life.
I hope that a person who knows Chinese characters can become a grassroots official.
People who find literacy too difficult can also become a grassroots patrol inspector or village chief.
You don’t have to worry about not being able to get a wife, there will be dedicated helpers to help you get on a blind date until you succeed.
I, Su He, will never abandon you. "
After listening to Su He's words, the wounded soldiers' eyes once again showed the light of hope.
Su He personally distributed medals and silver rewards to the soldiers and encouraged them with a few words.
He handed out all the medals from day to night.
These soldiers are the backbone of the army. As long as they have their heartfelt support, they can control the entire army.
…
"Mr. Li, how is the construction of the Pavilion of Heroes?"
Su He asked Li Fengming about the construction process of the Pavilion of Heroes.
This is the place where fallen soldiers are buried and heroes are paid homage.
Li Fengming immediately replied: "This time we lost a total of 863 soldiers, including 26 with Silver Medals and 138 with Bronze Medals.
I have notified the family members of the medal recipients to come to Hanzhong City to receive the martyrs' rewards.
The pensions were also distributed in batches, and Su Ying sent people to monitor the distribution.
The Pavilion of Heroes will be built in three days. "
"The pension must be arranged properly without any mistakes." Su He solemnly ordered.
