A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 634 Uproar
"Huang Yujin, posthumously awarded the rank of Captain of the Right...Sun Xuesheng, posthumously awarded the rank of Captain of the Left..."

In the White Tiger Battalion, Zhao Rongsheng, Lai Dexiang, Luo Liangzuo and others showed sad and happy expressions on their faces. The old Jia always regarded Jia as his nephew and nephew. In the battle of Liaodong, he was cut in two by artillery and suffered a lot. and die.

He used to be a team officer, posthumously conferred the title of Zuo Xiaowei, who can be bestowed with general talents, I think he should be gratified under the nine springs, and may his heroic spirit live forever.

On the martial arts stage, Wen Fangliang, the ambassador of the General Staff Department, commemorated the casualties of the Jingbian Army one by one.

The family members below are also proud in their sorrow. In the Ming army, they eat military rations as cannon fodder. It is not bad to have a tomb after death, not to mention pensions. of.

Amidst the faint sobs, the atmosphere on the court was solemn and solemn. Wen Fangliang finished reading one by one, and finally saluted Wang Dou.

Wang Dou nodded, stood up, and slowly said to the audience: "Protecting the family and the country is our business. When we go to the battlefield, we should have the determination to sacrifice everything and be full of benevolence. However, I have fought hard and made great achievements. All officers and men should also receive the glory and honor they deserve!"

He unfolded a file and said loudly: "As approved by the Zhenfu Department, after the Liaodong War, the honored officers and men of each battalion of our Jingbian Army are as follows."

"Conferred, Wen Fangliang, Han Chao, Gao Shiyin, Zhong Xiancai, Zhao Xuan, Li Guangheng, Wen Daxing, Sun Sanjie, deputy generals, rank of captain!"

"Conferred, Zhong Tiaoyang, Xie Yike, Shen Shiqi...to join the rank of general, Zuo Duwei rank!"

"Professed, Wu Zhengchun, Gao Xun, Lei Xianbin, Yin Yijin, Tian Zhijue, Yang Guodong, Xie Shangbiao, Tian Qiming, Gao Gui, Long Er, Long Aotian, Jie Yifeng, Lin Jugen... Guerrilla military rank, right Du Wei Xun rank !"

"Conferred, Huang Wei, Zeng Yiyi, Yang Hu... the rank of Qian Zongjun, the rank of Du Wei!"

"...Conferred, Li Zhengjing, Sun Daguan, Zhao Rongsheng, Zhang Rengang, Wang Mingzun, Lei Size, Ye Biao, Yi Shunqu, Yi Youxin, Xie Chenpeng... the rank of commander-in-chief, Zuo Xiaowei!"

"Professor, Wu Dingguo, Liu Lie..."

"Provide..."

"Provide, praise Qin Yi, praise Wen Shiyan... Zuo Xiaowei Xunjie..."

"Professor, Lin Daofu, Ambassador of the Military Training Department, Qi Tianliang, Ambassador of the Logistics Department, Chi Dacheng, Ambassador of the Zhenfu Department...You Duwei Xun Rank!"

……

"Start receiving honors!"

The magnificent military music played: "When all people are united, the mountains can be shaken. Only loyalty and righteousness, and the bullfighting. The lord will kiss me, which is better than parents. If you violate the military law, you will not be free. The orders are clear, and the rewards and punishments. Go Water and fire, dare to stay late! Report to the emperor, and rescue the head of Guizhou. Kill all the Japanese slaves, and find a feudal lord."

It was Qi Shuai's triumphant song.

On both sides of the martial arts stage, the sun, moon, wave and wave flags were densely tumbling in the wind, and the soldiers of the guard battalion held guns and guns. Amidst the music and the attention of the crowd, the honored soldiers came to the stage, and they all saluted with guns.

Wang Dou, give them coats of arms, badges, and sabers one by one...

Han Kaihui strode towards the front desk, and the three handed over to him were all heavy, with exquisite heraldry, made of silver and copper, with patterns of eagles, sun, moon and waves, which could be pinned on the chest to distinguish the order of honor and waist. The plaque is made of copper, which is also solemn and generous, and the saber is made of fine steel, and the scabbard also has eagles and sun, moon and waves floats.

Many years later, Han Kaihui still remembers the scene of receiving the honor this time, and clearly remembers the general's words, and the expectant eyes of the general when he bestowed the sword appeared in his mind: "Strengthen China, strengthen me, and I am the only mission of Jingbian soldiers. Propriety, integrity and shame are the only spirit of a soldier. Dearness and sincerity are the virtues that a soldier must possess. Propriety and righteousness lead to trust, integrity and shame lead to courage, love leads to benevolence, and sincerity leads to wisdom. All soldiers in Jingbian must always keep this belief The four virtues of virtue, courage, benevolence and wisdom are enough to create a sacred force, protect the country, and fulfill the bounden duty of our soldiers!"

Facing the words of the general, Han Kaihui only knew how to shout in accordance with military law: "Sacrifice, devotion, loyalty!"

When Chi Dacheng came to the stage, his coat of arms, waist plate, and sword highlighted the style of appeasement, all of which were embellished with exquisite silver chains and sharp sword patterns.

Chi Dacheng usually has a cold and serious expression, but when he received the instruction, his hands trembled slightly and his expression was agitated...

……

The tenth day of the first day.

The two rows in the lobby are full of officers wearing three mountain caps, all wearing brocade clothes, and wearing swords around their waists. On their right breasts, each has their own coat of arms representing their order.

The same is true for Wang Dou, but he does not have a coat of arms of other ranks.

With a calm gaze, he looked around at everyone present, and said slowly: "Masters."

With a "wow", the people on both sides waited, and all stood up in unison.

"From today onwards, our Jingbian army will start to expand and reorganize. In accordance with the old rules, the first-class army will serve as officers at all levels, and the young and strong will be recruited as second-class soldiers from all forts. The priority will be given to the soldiers. Lieutenant Lin You, the training department needs to increase More instructors will go down to the various forts. Every year during the slack season, all the reserve troops need to be trained in rotation. In order to strengthen their centripetal force, the reserve sergeants who participate in the rotation training may be given certain meritorious service!"

Lin Daofu shouted: "Yes!"

The meritorious deeds of the Jingbian army are precious, and a little meritorious service can be exchanged for one mu of fertile land outside the Great Wall, or five acres of grassland and mountains. Fields have been the lives of Chinese people for thousands of years. This temptation is enough to make all the reserve sergeants in rotation training cheer. .

Wang Dou looked at Qi Tianliang: "Captain Qi You!"

Qi Tianliang also stood up straight and shouted: "This subordinate is here!"

Wang Dou secretly sighed, Qi Tianliang's military temperament is still not good enough.

He said: "At the same time as the expansion of each battalion, new types of self-generating guns will be replaced. You will go to the military factory to vigorously build Lai's self-generating guns and make more artillery. Of course, the production of Li's guns does not have to stop. In the future , our Jingbian army will use the strongest firepower to wipe out all opponents!"

Qi Tianliang shouted: "Yes!"

Wang Dou nodded: "It is not a problem that the military factories need money and food to build weapons. Of course, they must not be used indiscriminately. They need to be carefully calculated!"

Looking at everyone, Wang Dou said: "The expansion of the army is not something that will happen in a short period of time. It is better to be short than to be indiscriminate. You need to be cautious in selecting soldiers!"

He said: "Also, some soldiers responded that my Jingbian military flag needs to be adjusted slightly?"

Everyone looked at Gao Shiyin, and Gao Shiyin cursed in his heart: "These turtle grandchildren, they don't say what they have to say, they just let themselves be this early bird."

He said: "Yes, the general has an opinion. The general thinks that in my vanguard battalion, apart from the sun, the moon, and the waves, a big red bird on the flag is good, and white tigers, Xuanwu and others are not necessary."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Shiyin immediately received several angry looks, especially Zhong Xiancai.

Wang Dou pondered and nodded. Judging by human senses, the simple color of the flag is more eye-catching and impressive. In the Jingbian barracks, apart from the sun, moon, and waves, there are also patterns of green dragon, white tiger, and red bird on the flag. Divide people's attention.

and so……

Wang Dou made a decision: "Okay, after gathering the opinions of all the soldiers, I will slightly adjust the general flag, such as the vanguard army. In the future, except for the sun, moon and waves, there will only be Suzaku on the flag. If the vanguard camps on the left, the Suzaku will be on the left and right. In the camp, Suzaku is on the right, in the middle camp, on the bottom..."

"The embroidered patterns of Suzaku and others are black, and the color of the flag is still red. In the Chinese army, the sun, the moon, and the waves..."

The Han armies of the past dynasties were all red, and so were the flags, and the red base can stimulate people's emotions more, similar to a hormone secretion, without the hemming, it seems that when the flag is rolling, it has a feeling of passion and sacrifice.

Wang Doudao: "Not only that, each banner flag, on the top of the flagpole, there will be a silver and bronze flag crown, Zhuquejun, Zhuque silver and bronze sculpture, White Tiger army, white tiger silver and bronze sculpture..."

"On the day of becoming an army, the general will personally hand out the flag. If the flag is there, the battalion will be there. If the flag is lost, the regiment will be punished."

Gao Shi smiled happily with silver eyebrows: "Silver and bronze sculptures."

"Next, I appoint."

"Shangdu Lieutenant Zhong Xiancai is the chief general of the White Tiger Army, Chong, the guard general of the East Road. Shangdu Lieutenant Gao Shiyin is the chief general of the Suzaku Army, Shangdu Lieutenant Han Chao is the chief general of the Xuanwu Army. Shangdu Lieutenant Wen Fangliang is the chief general of the Qinglong Army ..."

……

After the Wangdou shogunate was reorganized, although it was not well known, it spread to the outside world, especially outside Xuanfu Town, which caused a lot of uproar. , let alone share the fruits of Wang Dou's development. Isn't this forcing people to pay taxes? Also, is it loyal to Wang Dou?

Under the various forts on the East Road, isn’t there no old literati acting as scribes, and if they don’t pay taxes in the future, they will be deprived of their duties as officials?
Also, Wang Dou will set up Xuanzhen Civil Affairs College, what is this for?Cultivate officials by yourself?If you want to sneak into the shogunate in the future, there is no way?After Wang Dou's territory grows bigger and bigger, they don't need their help to manage it anymore?

Many people already have this feeling. After the soldiers of the Jingbian Army retire, because everyone has read books, they are no worse than those professional officials in the management of the forts. Now... as the last reserve and No sense of superiority?
What a thief!

As the news spread more, the government and the public became more uproar, and a new wave of attacks was launched. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became colder in his heart.

Only Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, pondered for a long time, and let it out, saying that Marquis Yongning's move has advantages and disadvantages, but he has the confidence to let the talents cultivated by the civil affairs college become the pillars of Ming Dynasty!

Of course, for Wang Dou’s direct lineage, the Chinese people on the East Road are all happy. They pay taxes and food to the shogunate every year. Many gentry from households under their rule do not pay food, but enjoy many of the same treatment. Many people are dissatisfied. Well, we can finally tell the difference.

They firmly supported the general's decision, as the general said, only with corresponding contributions can there be corresponding treatment, no contribution at all, and still want to enjoy it?There are no doors!

In addition, many interested people are quite interested in the new structure of the shogunate. They analyzed them one by one, and one after another, some people began to follow suit, such as Wang Pu. , the same order of honor is established.

Although he tried his best to appear different from Wang Dou, but because of laziness, it was nothing. The establishment of ranks, in addition to corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, was divided into three levels: lieutenant, school officer, and general. Captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general.

After Wang Dou heard about it, he felt quite strange.

Moreover, in the Datong Army, only Wang Pu can be called a general now, and others are not allowed.

In addition, there are still many people asking: "Who is Zhong Xian, the new general guarding the East Road?"

No matter how the outside world is, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Civil Affairs Department and the Naturalization Department of the shogunate began to approve the East Road, and later the household registration of the entire Xuanfu Town. There are three types of household registration, Chinese registration is red, naturalization registration is green, temporary residents , for blue.

Because, only the naturalized nationality can live in Donglu, the future Xuanfu Town for a long time, otherwise, after the limited time, it will be illegal entry and expulsion!

Therefore, obtaining naturalization has become the primary goal of many foreigners in the future, and because the household registration is green, it is called a green book.
