"Of course, this is the most important value of the medal!"
Chongzhen smiled: "So, what Huang Aiqing just said was behind the guidance of an expert. After they know the value of the medal, we will see if they are still willing to give guidance."
It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to be promoted based on military merit, because the four paths of hereditary military attachés, favors of civilian officials, the right path of scientific and professional advancement, and grassroots selection exclude civilians.
There are only so many military attachés, otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds of people with martial arts background waiting to be promoted for more than ten years.
Any vacancy for a military attaché is basically a dead end.
Not to mention getting promoted, it's already pretty good to be able to give out the reward in full.
Nowadays, as long as you perform well, you can enter the martial arts hall for further study. Further study means the possibility of becoming a military attache. Becoming a military attaché has unlimited possibilities in the future.
Even the lowest Xiaoqi is from the seventh rank. From then on, the entire family may be able to get rid of the status of civilians.
This is a great temptation for anyone.
We already have money, honor, and a future. If we don't give it a try, it would be a shame for us as a soldier.
"When the military and political affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty are reorganized, if you want to enter the army again, you must meet the requirements. If you don't meet the requirements, you will not be allowed to do so.
Today... do you really think that the military is a place where they can come and leave as they please? "
Chongzhen originally wanted to say, if you ignore me today, I will make it impossible for you to climb up tomorrow, but after thinking about it, this is not appropriate.
I go……
Everyone was shocked again.
What the emperor said was simply unimaginable.
Throughout the entire dynasty, only the common people were afraid of the army. How could the common people rush to join the army? Are you going to be picked on by the court?
If one day comes, everyone who joins the army will be the best in the villages and towns. After training, they will be the strongest.
Having elite and strong soldiers is no longer a dream.
Looking at the silent crowd, Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "What do you think of this military merit system?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I dare not say that this military merit system is unprecedented, at least it is unprecedented."
"Yes, although it has not fundamentally changed the shortcomings of the battle merit system and the first merit system, it has shaped the honor of soldiers so that they will not embezzle other people's military merits or deceive superiors and subordinates."
"What Mr. Liu said is absolutely true. Such a significant honor will definitely make all soldiers supervise each other. I dare not say that it will be completely cut off, at least it will be reduced a lot."
"Your Majesty, once this military merit system is fully implemented, it will definitely greatly enhance the motivation of the soldiers, allowing them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the army and regard the military camp as their home, and they will naturally protect their home."
"Your Majesty is a sage, I cannot praise you in words, but I seem to have seen the future when our Ming Dynasty's powerful army will conquer all the countries!"
"Your Majesty, if I could be thirty years younger, I would definitely join the army. Then I might get the Star Medal and the Sun and Moon Medal!"
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request you to implement this military merit system!"
"Liu Shangshu, why do you, the Minister of Rites, interfere in the affairs of our Ministry of War? Do you understand the affairs of the army?"
"Hou Shangshu, this is wrong. Although I don't understand the specific affairs of the army, I am well-read in military literature.
Besides, these medals are honors and must involve etiquette. This is my duty! "
"Hou Shangshu, what Liu Shangshu said is absolutely true. Your Ministry of War should avoid suspicion for this kind of matter. It is best for our Military Discipline Inspection Department to implement it.
We have the right to supervise and have full investigation rights on the winners. "
"Inspector Li, I think our household department is the most suitable. Do you need money to make medals? Do you want to give out rewards? "
"You want to say that, our staff is also important. Do we need to arrange vacancies after the soldiers are disarmed and return to their fields? Or..."
…
Everyone was originally praising the military honor system, but they got sidetracked while chatting and started fighting over who should implement it.
If it weren't for Wuying Hall and the emperor was still there, the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet would have quarreled.
They are not stupid. Once this military merit reward system comes out, the name of the person who implemented it will definitely go down in history.
They have become similar to the examiners of the imperial examinations, and those who win medals are considered their disciples.
When Chongzhen saw this, he smiled. He was not afraid that the ministers would not fight, but that no one would care about him.
cough……
Chongzhen coughed, and everyone fell silent instantly, looking at Chongzhen with burning eyes.
"Dear sirs, honorary recognition cannot be handled by a single institution. It involves etiquette, money, review, etc.
What I mean is that for each selection, a temporary evaluation team is established to cooperate with each other and perform their respective duties.
And we have never done anything like this before. There are less than ten days left before the award ceremony on August 15th.
You still need to improve the content of Part 8 and do the process, etc.
This time, I will take the lead, and all ministries will cooperate. Once everything is sorted out, which ministry will be responsible will be discussed in the future. What do you think? "
"I obey the order!"
"Okay, do you still have any doubts about the content of the eighth part? If not, I will arrange the things that each department is responsible for!"
After waiting for a while, Hou Liu, the Minister of War, spoke out: "Your Majesty, I still have a doubt."
"Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, these medals involve some specific values and are also linked to the martial arts hall.
Can a certain sergeant get it twice, three times, or even more?
If multiple blocks are obtained, what should be done with the corresponding values? "
"How many pieces can be obtained is up to the soldiers' own ability. There is no limit on the number of times.
As for the corresponding values that can be superimposed, they will be superimposed, and those that cannot be superimposed will be converted into other rewards, such as cash, priority, etc. You will discuss this later. "
Regarding this kind of situation, it also happened in later generations. Some people achieved all the first, second and third-level skills. There must be a difference, but he really didn't know the details.
"If someone really has obtained all these medals and has several honorary plaques hanging in his home, even if he goes to Wu Chang, he has to salute before leaving."
The ministers laughed loudly. Although what the emperor said was a bit exaggerated, anyone who could win a few medals was definitely a powerful person. The gangsters would probably have to take a detour after seeing it.
"Your Majesty, I just heard from Zhongguan Wang that you have painted several kinds of medals. I am really curious. I wonder if Your Majesty can let me take a look first?"
After Hou Xi finished speaking, he looked at everyone again: "My lords, you must have the same idea as me!"
Looking at everyone who nodded in unison, Chongzhen smiled: "Not only have I finished the painting, but I have also asked Yinzuo Bureau to make samples.
Since you all would like to take a look, it just so happens that you can also give us your opinions and improve it! "
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Chengen: "My dear companion, go to Dongnuan Pavilion to get those medals and show them to all of you, dear friends!"
