Chapter 156 Instructor
Of course, in addition to strict military discipline, the rewards are also very rich. Calculation of merit is no longer calculated by individual beheading, but by annihilation of the enemy and seizure, which can avoid the phenomenon of robbing the head on the battlefield, or even killing good people to make a fortune. A military merit system has been adopted, divided into four levels: third-class merit, second-class merit, first-class merit, and special-class merit. Killing one enemy on the battlefield can get third-class merit; killing more than two enemies can get second-class merit; killing first-class merit, fighting to the death in adversity, or killing more than ten enemies can get first-class merit; killing enemy generals or playing a key role in the battle, you can get second-class merit.
If you die on the battlefield, you can enter the cemetery of the Ming Dynasty, your family can get pensions, and your children can also give priority to errands such as the Jinyiwei to eat imperial grain. In the future, you will also build a monument to the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, set up a wall of fallen heroes, and carve the names of the heroes who died for the Ming Dynasty on the wall of heroes, so that future generations can remember them. This is a great honor for soldiers. Those who serve in the army can not be afraid of death, but they are afraid that they will die without any value, and will be bullied by the group of civil servants and gentry on weekdays.
These military rules and regulations not only strictly restrict the behavior of officers and soldiers, but also greatly improve the status of soldiers.
After reading out the military rules and regulations for soldiers, Gong Xiaoda read out the military rules and regulations for officers. On the basis of the military rules and regulations of soldiers, such as those who deduct military pay and drink blood, behead them; those who beat and scold soldiers for no reason and dismiss their posts; incompetent command lead to defeat and beheading! On the battlefield, the general took the lead in escapees, beheading, etc.
After Gong Xiaoda announced his dissolution, only a dozen soldiers came to give in, and most of the soldiers still chose to stay. After all, the military pay of three taels of silver a month was too considerable. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was enough for an ordinary farmer to live a year. During the Chongzhen period, although prices soared and the silver depreciated, one tael of silver was enough for an ordinary farmer to spend a year. The monthly salary of three taels of silver was indeed very considerable. Everyone knows that Emperor Shaowu was rich, but it was not the Chongzhen who was so poor that he was so poor at that time.
"Since the brothers have no objections, then go to work!" Gong Xiaoda gave an order.
After disbanding, the 100-man team where Shi Erniu was located gathered everyone together. Then a Jinyiwei came over, and exchanged greetings with the general manager for a while, and then the Jinyiwei gathered Shi Erniu and the others in a dilapidated barracks: "Brothers, my name is He Xing, I will be your instructor from now on! During training, I am the instructor of all the instructors. When there is no training, I will take you to swim and catch some fish and shrimps. On the one hand, I can improve our lives, and on the other hand, I can exchange some pork, chickens, ducks and other things with my brothers, which will also improve our lives. Every night, I will also take you brothers to read and read."
The name instructor was actually brought by Zhao Peng based on the term battalion instructor in later generations. Originally, the name of the hundred-man team should have been used as the instructor, and the number of people teams used as the instructor, and the larger staff was used as the political commissar. However, after thinking about it, Zhao Peng felt that the term instructor was used as the term instructor, regardless of the size of the staff, he still used the term instructor.
As soon as He Xing finished speaking, Shi Erniu stood up: "Sir, I can't read a big word, so why don't I still fight? What's the use of reading and literacy?"
"Brother, what's your name?" He Xing asked with a smile.
"My name is Shi Erniu." Shi Erniu replied with his head raised and his chest raised.
He Xing asked with a smile: "Will you write your own name?"
Shi Erniu shook his head vigorously: "No, I don't know the words, but I recognize me."
"Hahaha!" A group of soldiers burst into laughter.
He Xing smiled and said, "Shi Erniu, how old are you this year?"
Shi Erniu calculated silently for a long time with his fingers, and then replied: "Return to the sir, I'm twenty-six years old this year."
"Shi Erniu, you are twenty-six years old this year. Do you think you can fight a war for the rest of your life? Can you still ride a horse to fight when you reach your fifty or sixty years old?" He Xing asked with a smile.
Shi Erniu replied: "Sir, I never thought I could live for so long. Anyway, when I was in a military war, I worked with my head on my back. Maybe one day I would be knocked down if the ball died."
"If you unfortunately die, the court will naturally support your family. But have you ever thought about what if one day you are injured and disabled and cannot go to the battlefield again?" He Xing asked.
Shi Erniu smiled bitterly and said, "If there really is one day, I might as well die, so as not to suffer from it."
"What if you are disabled on the battlefield at the age of 30? Who will support your wife and children?" He Xing asked inducely.
"I, Shi Erniu, one of us, eat a lot and the whole family is not hungry. We are not worried about it. We just live for the sake of living. If we are disabled, we might as well die." Shi Erniu said sadly.
"You are only twenty-six years old this year, why don't you think about marrying a wife and passing on the family line?" He Xing asked with a smile, "I am about the same age as you. My family was so poor that I couldn't afford to marry a wife. Now I have made military achievements and have a wife, and soon there are children. Life is getting farther and farther and hopeful."
Shi Erniu said in horror: "Sir, you are the Jinyiwei. Do I dare to compete with the Jinyiwei?"
"Why can't you compare? The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not owe you all military pay. You can save three taels of silver a month, and in a year, it will be enough to marry a wife." He Xing persuaded.
"Get a wife..." Shi Erniu murmured.
"Yes, marry a wife and have children. When your life is settled, if you go to the battlefield, if you are disabled, you can give you a place to eat imperial grain when you retire. In the future, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for families of all sizes. But if you are illiterate, it will be difficult to arrange it. So, I will teach you how to read. Even if you don't join the army in the future, you can go to other places! The Ming Dynasty government will be expanded. In addition to the original six ministries, many departments will be expanded. At that time, people will be needed in all walks of life. If you are literate, the meritorious soldiers may be able to become county magistrates, inspectors and other officials after retirement." He Xing said with a smile.
"Can you still be an official?" A bright light flashed across Shi Erniu's eyes, "That's great, sir, I also want to read and read."
The troops under Zhao Peng, whether it is the Jinyiwei or the Nanjing New Army, all they lack are cavalry. Gao Jie's command is not short of cavalry, so Zhao Peng is still very concerned about these cavalry. Anyway, after training and brainwashing, he mixed sand into Gao Jie's army, gradually diluting Gao Jie's control over the army. After Gao Jie completely lost control over the army, he would just give him an idle title to support him. If it really doesn't work, send Gao Jie overseas to implement a colonial plan and enslave overseas people.
Next, the soldiers rebuilt the barracks based on the drawings drawn by Zhao Peng. The barracks that had not yet collapsed were already dilapidated, so they simply pushed down and rebuilt them, and built new barracks on the original foundation.
According to Zhao Peng's design, in addition to the soldiers' barracks and officers' dormitories, there are also auxiliary facilities such as canteens, classrooms, halls, bathrooms, clinics, etc. In addition to meetings, the halls can also act. After the barracks are officially completed, Zhao Peng will hire a troupe to act for the officers and soldiers.
Don’t think about watching acting, it is actually a way to brainwash. Through various drama performances, it can arouse hatred of the officers and soldiers towards the Qing army, and it can also make the officers and soldiers dissatisfied with the gentry civil servant group. Nowadays, the gentry civil servant group has firmly grasped the tools of public opinion, so Zhao Peng found a way to take away some of the public opinion from the gentry civil servant group, publicize his progressive views to the military and civilians, and trigger social changes.
