"Okay, each arm is different, and specific conditions are set for specific arms. Don't worry about this now. You can read the content of Part 8 first."
Chongzhen knocked on the table, waking up everyone in a daze.
Part 8?
Everyone was reluctant to leave, but the emperor asked them to do it anyway.
Part 8: Commendation levels for military meritorious service;
Commendations are divided into five categories: medals, honorary titles, awards, commendations, and commemorative medals.
“Meals represent the highest honor, honorary titles highlight role models, rewards reflect meritorious achievements, and commemorative medals reflect honorary experiences.
The above five types are further divided into three types: wartime, peacetime and major non-war military operations.
Sun and Moon Medal, Star Medal, Mountain and River Medal, Four Seas Medal, Dragon and Tiger Medal,
The Sun and Moon Medal is taken apart from the name of the Ming Dynasty. Everything the sun and moon shine on is the Ming Dynasty. It is the highest honor of the Ming Dynasty.
For everyone in the Ming Dynasty, selections are made once every three years, with one to three people each time. It is better to have fewer than to waste more. Anyone who gets this medal..."
…
Although the content of this part was only a summary, and even just mentioned a few sentences in some places, everyone still watched it for nearly half an hour.
For the first time, everyone was a little confused when watching it. Too many new things appeared, such as medals, medals, etc.;
The second time I looked at it, I seemed to understand it, but when I thought about it carefully, it was like a lantern in the dark night, always separated by a layer of fog.
The third time, everyone was sometimes confused, sometimes enlightened, and sometimes shocked;
The fourth time, everyone looked at each word for fear of missing it;
…
It took half an hour for everyone to finish reading it, at least eight or nine times.
Everyone was enjoying themselves watching, and felt that all they had learned in this life was in vain.
This military merit system has subverted their understanding of the military merit system, but there are also many doubts.
The biggest doubt is that although it is very rich, what does it have to do with military honor and maintaining combat effectiveness?
But when they were about to ask the emperor for advice, they found that the emperor was not in Wuying Hall, and only Wang Chengen was waiting.
"Wang Zhongguan, where is your Majesty?"
"My lords, you are so mesmerized by what you are watching. You can't just keep your majesty waiting. Your majesty has gone to accompany the queen. I will send someone to invite your majesty right now!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
After Wang Chengen finished arranging the young eunuchs, Hou Liu, the Minister of War, looked at Wang Chengen: "Zhongguan Wang, is this really done by your Majesty?"
"Other than Your Majesty, who else has such insight? I researched the ink for Your Majesty and looked at His Majesty's writing word by word!"
After Wang Chengen finished speaking, his face showed a look of recollection: "You sirs don't know something. You see that this booklet only has twenty or thirty pages, but Your Majesty wrote it continuously for four or five days.
In addition to reviewing memorials and dealing with court affairs, I was writing this until midnight every day. I wrote one or two hundred pages of drafts alone.
After writing and scratching, I finally have this booklet in your hands.
Moreover, His Majesty has also painted all the medals mentioned above, dozens of times. Thank you for your hard work! "
"It's our fault for eating the emperor's salary but not sharing your worries!"
Listening to what Wang Chengen said, everyone was filled with shame.
"Zhongguan Wang, you said that His Majesty has painted the medal? What kind of medal is it? Can you describe it to us?"
"Your Majesty has thousands of ravines in his chest, which are beyond our reach!"
"Your Majesty is truly a talented person, and his various fantastic ideas are truly eye-opening."
"Hey, compared to His Majesty, we are basically useless except that we are older!"
"I'm getting older and can no longer keep up with His Majesty's ideas. It's time to consider giving way to young people!"
…
"Hahaha, dear friends, you are being too modest, but you must not have such thoughts.
Now that the national power of the Ming Dynasty is recovering, many things require your advice and suggestions. I still want to witness the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty with you! "
"I asked your Majesty to work hard day and night. Please forgive me for my sins!"
Hearing the emperor's voice coming from outside the door, everyone saluted towards the door.
Chongzhen waved his hand: "My dear friends, please excuse me. Now that you have finished reading, please tell me what you think."
Everyone laughed bitterly.
Although they understood it, they wanted to make suggestions, but for a while they really couldn't do it. The emperor's idea was really too advanced.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Chongzhen also understood, and immediately changed his words: "If you have any questions, you can ask them.
I will tell you about it, and then you will perfect the specific conditions and so on according to the idea! "
"Your Majesty, in the area of rewards, I can understand that there are rewards in war.
But there are also rewards for daily training, and the highest level can reach the Star Medal. This minister is a little confused! "
"Yes, the purpose of training is to improve their survival ability. This is what they should do. This..."
The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Rites raised doubts at the same time.
Chongzhen looked at the two people, and then at the others, and found that there were more or less doubts in their eyes.
"Dear sirs, this training is just a summary, such as normal training in military camps, martial arts exercises, research on tactics and tactics, etc.
Let me give you an example, let's take the firearms soldiers as an example. A certain soldier had a sudden idea while training the musket, and increased the reloading speed of the musket by two or three times. The final result was that the combat power of the entire army increased many times. ,
For another example, during training, someone mistakenly lit a firearm, and another sergeant risked his life to eliminate the danger and saved the names of many soldiers. Do you want a reward?
Not only must rewards be given, but the whole army must be notified, and the Ming Dynasty Daily must also be synchronized so that the people of the entire Ming Dynasty can know.
In other words, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty are staring at him. Will he demand himself more strictly?
Will all this make the soldiers train more diligently, treat the military camp as home, and give them a sense of belonging and honor?
With these two, will the combat power be improved? "
Everyone suddenly realized that they did not expect that there was such a Tao inside.
They seemed to understand the logic of this set of military honors to enhance soldiers' sense of honor and combat effectiveness.
"Your Majesty, take the increase in reloading speed that Your Majesty mentioned as an example. What if that sergeant was blind and met a dead mouse?"
"Don't worry about the process, just look at the results. Whether it's true strength or a coincidence, the fact is that the combat power has been improved, and that's enough!
Many inventions are accidental flashes of inspiration, which in itself is a manifestation of strength! "
"Your Majesty, if you say that a sergeant has an expert's guidance behind his back, is this considered cheating?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Chongzhen nodded, with a mysterious smile on his lips: "But if they knew the value behind the medal, I guarantee they would not do this!"
