After they undergo simple treatment, they will be sent to Shanhaiguan behind for further treatment.
After recovering from their injuries, some people are not suitable to continue fighting due to their disability. Unless the soldiers actively request to continue serving, they may be assigned to some non-combat positions in the rear.
Otherwise, people will usually be directly arranged to retire from service and change careers. Most of them will be arranged to work in local yamen, such as being a patrol officer or other positions. In short, public employment is indispensable, retirement pay is indispensable, and military merit fields are indispensable.
The Great Chu Empire has always treated its soldiers generously.
This is true when you are in service, and the same is true for retirement arrangements!
Otherwise, why do you think so many young people are lining up to sign up to join the army? Even if the conditions for joining the army of the Chu Army are getting higher and higher recently, they cannot stop the enthusiasm of young people...
It's not because of how great Luo Zhixue is, nor how patriotic the young men are, it's simply because of the good treatment as a soldier in the Chu Empire...
For many children from poor families, joining the army may be the best and only opportunity to change their life trajectory and get ahead!
You can serve as a soldier for a few years, and while you have enough money, you can also attend literacy classes to read and write. After you retire, you can be assigned to local government agencies or enterprises affiliated with the Ministry of Industry.
How can I put it, the future of being a soldier in the Chu Empire is more reliable than 211 in the future!
If you go to 211, I can't give you an iron rice bowl, but you can serve as a soldier in the Da Chu Empire!
Unfortunately, the Chu Empire's army is now very large and it is impossible to continue to expand the army on a large scale. The number of soldiers recruited each year is also limited, and when spread equally across the country, the number of soldiers recruited in each place is actually very limited. It's not what you think. You can go if you go.
This is true for ordinary soldiers, but it is also a generous pension for the fallen soldiers!
The current pension system of the empire will pay a one-time salary for three years, and then a certain amount of pension will be paid every month.
Arrange for one of the immediate family members of the fallen soldiers (priority to the eldest adult son) to work in a government office or government-run enterprise, or to be exempted from agricultural tax for fifteen years (land limit), choose one of the above two!
Underage boys are arranged to attend government-run elementary schools for free for three years.
If there are multiple minor children, additional living allowances will be provided until they reach the age of sixteen.
Basically, the Da Chu Empire military ensured that the fallen soldiers would have no worries!
The reason why the pension is so high is purely because the number of Chu army casualties is very small... It is not that easy for you to die in battle as a soldier in the Chu Empire!
The Chu army has always had a relatively large advantage. It fights a war with superior firepower and rarely uses the lives of soldiers to fight. Therefore, combat casualties have always been relatively low.
At the same time, Chu Army's battlefield treatment was pretty good, and it also had a complete battlefield treatment system. It also used shochu to purify and disinfect with alcohol to prevent infection, so there were relatively few casualties after injuries.
Unlike other armies, the mortality rate after injury is extremely high.
Therefore, when fighting in the Chu army, there are few injuries. If you want to die in battle, it is really not easy!
As for death during non-combat time...the superiors will not give you a place to die in battle!
Death in battle represents additional military expenditures, and the bosses are not stupid, so how can they give it casually?
——
After visiting the injured soldiers, Zhu Xingfa summoned several generals under his command to discuss today's combat situation.
Brigadier General Qi Lianghou just made a self-examination with a calm face!
Today, a cavalry sentry under his command drifted away while chasing the enemy, and was almost outflanked by the enemy... It made his head hurt just to look at him!
Because the superiors will definitely criticize him again!
Sure enough, in the post-war meeting that night, he was scolded again. After being scolded, he had to reflect on it. After saying something, he had fully realized his mistake, corrected it immediately when he got back, and would never do it again in the future.
This is frustrating him!
Seeing Qi Lianghou like this, Zhu Xingfa smiled and said nothing!
He valued Qi Lianghou, and he also believed that he could subdue this powerful general so that he could fight according to his own fighting intentions and not act randomly.
For no other reason than because he, Zhu Xingfa, was one of the oldest cavalry generals in the Chu army and also the most decorated cavalry general.
In terms of qualifications, except Wang Xiazi, no one among the cavalry generals could suppress him.
Zhu Xingfa was born in the Yulin frontier army. He was among the more than 100 Yulin frontier soldiers who followed Li Tonglin's rebellion and became bandits.
Later, he followed Sun Mazi to Funiu Mountain.
After Luo Zhixue took office, Wang Xiazi was the commander of the cavalry post at that time, and Zhu Xingfa was the captain of the cavalry post. He was later promoted to deputy commander of the cavalry post, ranking below Wang Xiazi.
Later, the director of cavalry was established, and he served as deputy director. For a while, Wang Xiazi went to the army to serve as the commander of the cavalry brigade. He also served as the director of cavalry for several months.
This qualification is quite sufficient!
And military achievements... In the Battle of Jiangbei and the Northern Expedition, it was not Wang Xiazi who was commanding the cavalry, but Zhu Xingfa who was commanding the cavalry!
In the Battle of Tianjin, he brought thousands of Chu army cavalry cobbled together here and there to defeat Zu Dashou's cavalry, forcing Zu Dashou to make a long detour before escaping back to Shanhaiguan.
So unlike Wang Xiazi who rose through the ranks by relying on the rising tide, Zhao Hongshu relied solely on Luo Zhixue's personal trust and loyalty to rise up.
He, Zhu Xingfa, rose through the ranks based on his solid military exploits!
Now there are three main cavalry generals in the Chu army, namely Wang Xiazi, Zhao Hongshu, and Zhu Xingfa. Each of them is different.
Wang Xiazi, this man was already one of the most important generals even during the Funiu Mountain period. In his early years, he was even qualified to compete with Luo Zhixue for the position of general after Sun Mazi died of illness. He just had the self-knowledge and voluntarily quit. In order to avoid competition, he not only withdrew voluntarily, but also supported Luo Zhixue's rise to power.
Since then, Wang Xiazi has been the leader of the cavalry in the Chu army. In the early days, he was the cavalry sentry commander. After the establishment of the cavalry director, he served as the cavalry director three times. In the early stage, he also served as the only first cavalry brigade in the Chu army. The position of brigade commander was not until the Northern Expedition, when the size of the cavalry gradually expanded, that Wang Xiazi gradually stopped serving as the commander of the cavalry brigade.
But now, Wang Xiazi is already an army general and has the title of Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Academy. At the same time, he is also one of the few dukes in the empire.
It's just that the current Wang Xiazi is mostly symbolic to the Great Chu Empire, because every general who has no actual position as Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Academy has such a name!
This is just a name. If Luo Zhixue doesn't arrange actual tasks for them, he actually has no rights.
Those who really have real power are the ministers, deputy ministers, directors, and deputy directors of various ministries, and the real military bosses are the minister on duty and the co-organizing minister.
In fact, blind Wang's situation was very common among the founding heroes in the early days. There were dozens of military ministers, co-organizers of military affairs, and ministers of the Military Affairs Council in the Military Academy...all of them were founding generals who got mixed up in the early days.
These early founding heroes all made great contributions...
However, as the empire developed and the situation changed, their abilities and vision could no longer keep up with the development of the empire.
Therefore, Luo Zhixue is also more cautious about arrangements: in principle, he will be given full glory and wealth, and he will be given prestige, but he will not be given actual power.
Blind Man Wang is such a typical example!
As for Zhao Hongshu, although he started his career by hugging Luo Zhixue and was looked down upon by many people in the army, this was only one side of him.
Another aspect is that Zhao Hongshu is easy to learn and can endure loneliness.
Zhao Hongshu was born as a soldier of Luo Zhixue. He didn't do well in the early days, but he was somewhat ambitious and willing to learn. At the same time, he did not limit himself to cavalry.
Early on, like many early generals, he was sent to the garrison to lead troops. But everyone knew that if you go to the garrison, you can't expect to return to the field army, let alone climb up. Got a high position.
But Zhao Hongshu is different. Although he went to the garrison, he didn't give up and was thick-skinned. He wrote to Luo Zhixue to increase his presence when he had nothing to do. He also showed an open-minded and studious attitude, and forced himself to be rubbed several times. Opportunities for further study courses.
He himself also hired a teacher to read and read, and also learned various military books and the like.
Later, the garrison force was disbanded, and many generals of the garrison army were directly arranged to retire at that time, but he wrote to Luo Zhixue again, saying that he wanted to continue serving in the army to kill the enemy...
As a result, he was assigned to serve in the second-class division. At that time, his military rank had become an army brigadier general.
At this time, ordinary people basically don't bother. After two years, you can hint to your superiors that you are retiring. Then your superiors should arrange for you to have the rank of Army Major General. You can be promoted today and retire tomorrow.
Staying decent can also ensure better transfer arrangements.
But Zhao Hongshu is different!
He worked hard in the second-class division and trained a cavalry battalion in the second-class division. He participated in several battles in Shanxi and performed well.
Only then did he re-enter the high-level vision!
Of course, everyone knows that he is one of Luo Zhixue's four earliest soldiers... somewhat of an old friendship.
Your Majesty won’t say it or do it, but your ministers must do it well!
As a result, Zhao Hongshu was soon transferred to the Shanxi Campaign Command as the commander of a cavalry brigade, still holding the rank of Army Brigadier General.
After the victory of the Shanxi Campaign, the Shanxi Campaign Command was abolished, and many troops and generals were incorporated into the Xuanda Border Defense Command. He took advantage of the situation and became the Chief of Cavalry Staff of the Xuanda Border Defense Command, and was promoted to Army Major General at the same time.
He took the lead in the reorganization of many cavalry units under the Xuanda Border Defense Headquarters, and successively reorganized the 4th Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division.
At the beginning of the year, after several years of hard work, he was finally promoted to Army Lieutenant General and served as commander of the newly established Second Cavalry Corps.
Zhao Hongshu took a different path from many generals in the early Funiu Mountain period.
He did not rest on his superior status as Luo Zhixue's soldier in his early years, but continued to enrich and learn, and finally became a senior general of the army step by step.
You can say he's thick-skinned, but you can't say he doesn't work hard!
——
and other early generals of his time. Especially the early soldiers of Luo Zhixue, most of them have disappeared from everyone. Although they basically have the title of a school officer or even a brigadier general or major general, that's it.
Most of the military ranks were promoted today and transferred to the local garrison headquarters tomorrow. They were arranged to retire and change careers soon.
For example, Lin Dongsheng and Xu He, the sentry commanders and even battalion commanders from the Funiu Mountain period, are no longer visible in the field troops, the four major departments and the two directors.
Lin Dongsheng was transferred to the garrison commander of Jiangnan Province the year before last. After one year in office, he was transferred to the reserve force with the rank of Army Lieutenant General. Now he lives a wealthy and relaxed life in Jinling City, and he no longer even wears military uniforms.
Xu He, he was also transferred to the garrison division a long time ago, and then spent two years in the second-class division, but he was never able to get involved, and he always held the rank of Army Major General.
Last fall, when Luo Zhixue summoned a group of founding veterans, Xu He went to Luo Zhixue to complain. Although he didn't say it directly, he also hinted that he hoped to move up his military rank before retiring.
Among the important generals in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, as long as they were still alive, they were all lieutenant generals and above. Xu He, the only major general, could not afford to be embarrassed.
Faced with such a veteran's request, Luo Zhixue naturally would not reject it and comforted him on the spot. A few days later, an imperial edict was issued and Xu He was transferred to serve as the garrison commander of a certain province.
The garrison commander of a province in the Da Chu Empire was assigned the rank of Army Lieutenant General as standard, so Xu He was promoted to Army Lieutenant General.
But Xu He actually didn't take up the post at all. Instead, he complained of illness in Jinling City... because he knew very well that the position was not his at all, but was only lent to him for a period of time to solve the military rank issue.
A month later, Xu He wrote to beg for the bones. After Luo Zhixue refused twice, he formally approved the third time.
As a result, Xu He retired with the rank of Army Lieutenant General and was granted the title of Marquis. However, this Marquis could not be inherited for three generations. It could only be Xu He alone. After his son inherited the title, he would be inherited as a count for two generations.
This kind of title is a bit special, unlike the previous titles awarded by the Great Chu Empire, where the original title was inherited by three generations of marquis, and the reduced-level inheritance system of baron was hereditary.
In the past two years, Luo Zhixue has been dedicated to placing some founding heroes who have made great contributions but whose abilities cannot keep up with the military circles.
Specifically, the hero himself was awarded the title of marquis, the second generation inherited the title of earl with a reduced degree, the third generation continued to inherit the earl, the fourth generation inherited the title of viscount with a reduced degree, the fifth generation inherited the title of baron with a reduced degree, and the sixth generation inherited the title of baron with a reduced degree. To the Lord, the Lord can be hereditary.
And this Lord is also an honorary title created by Luo Zhixue to appease heroes. This title does not even come with a title, salary, or any privileges. It is only an honorary title, specifically awarded to the descendants of non-hereditary high-ranking nobles.
There are currently two types of titles for heroes in the empire: hereditary inheritance with reduced rank to baron, and hereditary inheritance with reduced rank to baron.
As for whether the original title has been inherited for three generations, this is a special grace. It is only awarded to a few dukes and marquises with outstanding military achievements. It is not a routine matter.
In the case of reduced-level inheritance, some high-level nobles, such as all earls and some marquis, may be reduced to civilian status after a few generations because there are no original barons who have inherited the title for three generations, and there are no hereditary hereditary titles after reducing the rank to baron. , if each generation changes faster, it may not take a few decades to disappear from the aristocratic sequence!
This will obviously greatly reduce the gold content of the title, and the title is an important incentive and symbol of honor in the Chu Empire, so Luo Zhixue still wants to increase the gold content of the title as much as possible.
Various practical privileges, especially political privileges, cannot be given, let alone fiefdoms, and this is even less possible. As for titles and salaries, they cannot be given too much in order to control financial expenditures.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhixue could only find a solution through honors, titles and the like.
As a result, a Lord was created who did not even have a title or salary. He was nominally under the Baron, but was not technically a noble.
Specially awarded to non-hereditary nobles above earl level.
Generally speaking, you can think that the person who holds this title has an ancestor who was a high-ranking noble above the earl level, and is a direct bloodline of the person, not a collateral lineage.
Because of the collateral lineage, he cannot inherit the title of Lord.
Because the aristocratic inheritance law of the Great Chu Empire is very strict on inheritance, it must be a direct heir, and a strict heir system is implemented. If there is no direct son, the title will be reduced.
Do not recognize the inheritance rights of so-called bastards...
Because the Da Chu Empire did not recognize concubines of any nature, and at the same time strictly prohibited human trafficking, servitude, etc.
Under such circumstances, in order to further correct social trends and ensure the seriousness of inheritance, all inheritance laws only recognize the inheritance rights of children born to the wife.
Illegitimate children have no inheritance rights... Well, gifting property to yourself during your lifetime is another matter.
How should I put it, there is no genetic paternity test these days. You can’t ensure whether your son is your biological child, and the official can’t determine whether this person is a blood heir...
In order to ensure the strictness of the law and avoid making more mistakes, in the absence of a will, the Dachu Empire only recognized the inheritance rights of legitimate children in formal marriages!
Strictly speaking, this inheritance right does not come from blood, but from marriage!
Because you can't confirm bloodline, and the official can't confirm it either. In a lawsuit, it's impossible for you to get a blood test and your inheritance will be awarded, so we just have to cut it across the board and only recognize the inheritance rights of legitimate children.
Of course, it is okay for you to give a large amount of money to your illegitimate child during your lifetime, but this also involves the issue of marital property management. If your wife finds out, she will probably go crazy and sue to recover the common marital property. But this is a matter of marriage law and inheritance. The law has nothing to do with it.
Bloodline cannot be confirmed either privately or officially, but marriage relationships can be legally confirmed.
To take an extreme example: the Noble Succession Law directly stipulates the inheritance system of eldest son, and the nobles themselves have no authority to change this inheritance order.
This also means that if a noble's wife cheats and gives birth to a son, and the noble husband has no clear evidence to prove that this is not his son, and at the same time the noble's wife insists that this is the noble's son.
So neither the noble nor the official can actually determine whether the child is the noble's son...well, unless the person involved personally admits it, such as the child's mother!
But the mother of the child does not admit that this is the son who was caused by cheating. If this son is still the eldest son, then the title will have to fall on him!
It doesn’t matter whether you object or not!
Because his inheritance rights came from the legal marriage between his mother and his father, and were confirmed by the Imperial Noble Succession Law, not from his father's gift!
Whether you inherit or not has nothing to do with the attitude of the noble. It will not change just because you like it or dislike it, or doubt whether he is your own son. Everything must be in accordance with the law.
Although it sounds ridiculous, the law only talks about rules and not about human relationships!
Who made your wife cheat on you and give birth to someone else's son...and he is your eldest son! Who can you blame...
Of course, I believe that with the methods of the military nobles of the Great Chu Empire, this kind of thing should not happen... After all, they are all used to life and death.
Well, probably!
