The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 259
The policies implemented cannot be written according to the script, but must meet the actual needs, and must be suitable for the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Road.Thorough consideration must be taken, otherwise good governance may even turn into tyrannical and evil governance if it is implemented rashly.

And now Xu An thought of a policy that was followed during the Warring States Reform Period, flourishing in Qin and extending to Han, but later on, the system of military merits gradually ceased to exist in name only.

And it just fits the development needs of the current Yellow Turban Army - the military merit system.

The military merit system originated from the period of the Warring States Reform, and the reforms of various countries have military merit systems.

The Qin State is the country that implements the military merit system most thoroughly.

Qin's military merit system mainly includes two contents: first, "those who have military merits will receive the title at their own rate."

Anyone with military merits, regardless of family background, class and class, can enjoy Juelu.Military merit is the most necessary condition for accepting Juelu rewards.

Second, "the clan cannot be a member unless it has the theory of military merit."This is the abolition of the hereditary privileges enjoyed by the clan and nobles. They can no longer obtain high-ranking officials and titles and titles just by blood relationship, that is, "belonging" as in the past.

However, the reform of Qin State has a large reserve of talents and strong national power as support. The current Yellow Turban Army is much weaker than that of Qin State before the reform at that time.

There are more than a thousand capable officials in the state of Qin who can be used by the king of Qin, and there are only a few people who can read and write under Xu An's current rule.

Most of the cities even had to retain the original officials of the Han court, use eagle wolf guards to supervise, and implement military control, so that they can be maintained.

Reforms, plots, and governance must proceed from reality, not fantasies. Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is not a big country, it cannot use strong medicine.

With strong medicine, the Yellow Turban Army may even face the risk of defeat.

Although the current Yellow Turban Army has won successive battles and advanced all the way, it has controlled the five counties and has tens of thousands of troops, but in fact only Shangdang County and Taihang County are barely counted as the basis, and the rest of the place is still unstable.

Moreover, Xu An can temporarily rely on his personal prestige and the way of peace to control the development of the forces under his command. If the Yellow Turban Army can really unify the world in the future and become a behemoth like the Han Empire, if he wants to change direction at that time, I am afraid that he will have to pay for it. How much effort.

So Xu An is just taking a small step now. Xu An is not going to implement the title, salary, etc., but just link the military merit with the land first.

If the salary is really issued, even the entire Bingzhou will not be able to support the nearly [-] troops under Xu An's command.

It is already an astronomical sum for tens of thousands of troops to eat horse chews every day, and if the salary is issued, then Xu An is really looking for a dead end.

And because it is not linked to the title and salary, Xu An cannot directly copy the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, and must modify it on the original basis.

Speaking of which, Xu An's reformed military merit system, called the military merit granting system, is more appropriate.

Xu An plans to continue to use the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, which has two points.

One: If the army can kill more than [-] enemies when besieging a city, and if it can kill more than [-] enemies in a field battle, it is considered a complete meritorious service. All troops who have made complete meritorious service will be rewarded to the entire army.

Ordinary soldiers are rewarded with [-] mu of land, [-] mu for a special commander, [-] mu for a team leader, [-] mu for a village chief with [-] mu or more, and [-] mu for a military commander.

Second: Rewards and punishments go hand in hand, meritorious deeds are rewarded, those who fail to perform are punished, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

The original military regulations stipulated by Xu An:
Facing the enemy, the sergeant retreats and kills the sergeant. If the whole army retreats, only one of the chief will be beheaded. If the chief does not retreat and dies in battle but the sergeant retreats, resulting in the death of the chief, all the sergeants will be beheaded, and so on, up to the leader of the army. .

If the chief general, army Sima and other high-ranking officers leave their parts and run away privately, beheading themselves, the guards and their relatives, the system of consecutive sittings will be implemented.

Originally, there were only punishments and no rewards. At that time, the only reward was to be promoted to a military position by killing the enemy.

At that time, Xu An's promotion system was very simple.

Killing two people on the battlefield, confirming that they are correct, and there is no false report, can be promoted to Shizhang.

A total of five beheaded people will be promoted to the team leader, those who beheaded fifteen people will be promoted to the head of the army, those who beheaded thirty people will be promoted to the military marquis immediately, and those who beheaded a hundred people will be promoted to the rank of army commander, and the left ear will be cut off to count. Certainly, more stringent.

Among them, beheading enemy officers and the like is another method of calculation.

In the Yellow Turban Army, quite a few middle- and lower-level officers were promoted to the top in this way. As for killing the enemy, there are no officers who have been promoted to the commander of the army for the time being.

But now in the Yellow Turban Army, most of the generals and schools are still the chief generals of various ministries, who appoint cronies and follow them.

There are also the children of the three families who followed Xu An first, and the team left by Taihang Yellow Turban, as middle and lower rank officers.

Xu An also consciously transferred all these officers who were promoted by virtue of their military exploits to his own subordinates as direct subordinates. This is one of the reasons why Xu An's immediate subordinates are now so powerful in combat effectiveness.

Xu An, who witnessed Xiaquyang and Guangzong, has always been more convinced of the policy of elite soldiers.

Xu An was indeed shocked by the Han army commanded by Huangfusong. The sharp soldiers of the Han army led by Sun Jian, the Luoyang cavalry led by Cao Cao, and the knights of Sanhe all left an indelible impression on Xu An's heart.

Now Xu An happened to rely on the establishment of the military merit granting system to perfect this military regulation again.

Qin's military merit system is to set the army to use Wu as the basic combat unit.

According to the "Shang Junshu · Territory", if one member of the army dies in battle, the other four will be convicted; if two or three die in battle, the crimes of the others will be more serious.

The only way to make meritorious deeds is to kill the enemy: for one person to die in battle, one must kill the enemy.Two people died in battle, two enemies must be killed.Therefore, if the soldiers of the Qin Army want to get the reward of "killing one head and one rank", they must deduct the number of their own deaths from the number of enemies killed.

But this does not apply to the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the Qin Army was very powerful, so this method could be used.

However, although the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command had acquired the military equipment of the Han Army in Bingzhou and Hedong County, it was still inferior to the Han Army.

The reason why the Battle of Kuicheng was won was mainly because Hanoi County had recruited some recruits at that time, the military equipment was poor, and the command of the generals was weak.

At that time, Xu An had finished reorganizing the army, concentrated the military equipment of the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Taihang Mountains, and escorted the entire Taihang Mountain elite troops.

There was also Yan Zhong, a counselor who was familiar with Sun Jian's tactics, and at the beginning of the battle, he greatly weakened the cavalry of the Han army, and then killed Han Dang and Zu Mao, dampening the spirit of the Han army.

In the end, with huge casualties, the battle of Kuicheng was won.

But now the Han army has received the threat of the Yellow Turban Army, and the bloated giant of the Han Empire has also begun to act.

Facing the turmoil in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, the motivation for the war of the Han Empire was also aroused.

During the Battle of Fenshui, Xu An noticed that the armor rate of the Han army had increased significantly.

The quality of ordinary Han army soldiers is better than that of ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, so if you directly follow Qin's military merit regulations, then I am afraid that after the first battle, not only will they have no merit, but they will all have faults, which is not conducive to military spirit.

Therefore, Xu An's tentative decision is:
Ordinary soldiers who kill one enemy will be rewarded with ten acres of land, and those who kill the enemy's leader will be rewarded with twenty acres of land.

Fifty mu at the brigade level, [-] mu at the village head level, [-] mu at the military marquis level, and [-] mu at the army Sima level.
