Seeing Tanning's lonely expression, Zhu Cixuan decided to talk about the military rank in advance to prevent the talents under his command from losing their enthusiasm for work.

"I have read the Ministry of War for more than ten years and found an interesting thing." Zhu Cixuan slowed down and said, "Where are any major wars, whether it is a defeat or a great victory, there are few cases of retreating after a stalemate. What do you think is this?"

This time the problem tends to be technical, and everyone expressed their opinions, mostly focusing on morale. Although morale is invisible and intangible, it is indeed a very important hidden factor. Once morale collapses, no matter how powerful the army is, it can only choose between surrender and being annihilated.

After hearing everyone's words, Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "I think that morale collapse is just an appearance, and the fundamental reason is that he lost his courage. What is a courage? Generals are bravery! The soldiers practice with you commands every day and obey your orders. Once they get on the battlefield, their lives are fighting, but they suddenly can't find you, and they will naturally lose their courage. Once they lose their courage, they will naturally not be able to use their daily practice."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Although the prince spoke briefly, it was definitely not the opinion of the scholar.

"However, the battlefield changes rapidly, especially when the two armies are connected, who can guarantee that the commander will be safe and sound?" Zhu Cixuan said: "So I thought of a way to mark the officer's armor. Even if the soldiers can't find their command, they can know whose orders they should listen to."

This method is military rank.

Strictly speaking, this is not an original system by Zhu Cilang.

As early as the Warring States Period, Shang Yang customized the 20th grade title in Qin State, mixing the entire civilian, military and officials into one, including soldiers in the rank system, and formulating a class system that was popularized throughout Qin State. At that time, the differences in the class in the army were demonstrated through different forms of armor.

"Embroider the ranks of each officer on the battle robe and helmet. As long as you still wear armor, you can recognize the soldiers around you and quickly line up to continue fighting." Zhu Ciyang said: "What do you think?"

Everyone did not realize that this was a title and did not expect it too much.

"In the future, the position and salary will be determined by military rank, and the position will be determined by additional salary." Zhu Cilang added.

As a result, everyone became nervous.

Zhu Cilang had already considered the military rank system in detail in the Danei period. However, he was not a military fan and could not be able to do it easily. Fortunately, his specialty is internal control of the enterprise, and the basis of setting the grading salary of internal employees is the basis. With the common sense popularized in military dramas, it is not difficult to formulate a military rank system.

"The specific military rank system will be sent from the instructor to individuals. After the three major battalions are integrated, the military chiefs at all levels will be fully staffed, and then a ceremony of rank awarding will be held." Zhu Cixuan announced.

The military discussion soon ended with everyone's expectations. Everyone gathered together in groups of three or three to discuss what the rank of the military would look like and whether they could get the rank of general. This is not because they were very determined, but because they understood the so-called rank of the prince as a scattered rank.

According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the military position was first awarded the Zhongxian Captain from the sixth rank, and was also awarded the Zhongwu Captain. Then go up to the first level and reach the sixth rank, you can be awarded the General Zhaoxin and promoted to the General Chengxin. In addition, most of the Thousand Generals in the army are sixth rank, and the guards of the East Palace jumped to the first level, so it is not impossible to be awarded the General Zhaoxin.

Zhu Cilang did not think that he could use the scattered officials as the mother of the military rank system, so that he could have a natural sense of intimacy with the generals of the Ming Dynasty. If it was just a boring and monotonous arrangement of "upper, middle and lower" obviously lacked the cultural tradition of the imperial Ming Dynasty.

However, for miners and boatmen who have never been in contact with the officer class, the complicated general ranks will make them dizzy, let alone identify senior officers from the chaos and obey their leaders.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Cilang decided to use the third-level and ninth-level military rank of the lieutenant as the officer rank, and also formulate the fifth-level non-commissioned rank, mainly to award soldiers from squad leader and other technical branches. Whether officers or non-commissioned ranks, the ranks will be upgraded one year in three years. If the military position cannot keep up with the speed of rank promotion, then the officer will be transferred to local miscellaneous positions, and the soldiers will be demobilized to farmers.

If you want to raise a military position, you must meet the promotion conditions and make enough merits, and also see whether there are vacant seats on it. So when the new military rank system is issued to individuals, everyone is happy about the salary increase once every three years, but they are worried about whether they can be promoted.

The Eastern Palace Guard Camp is all bachelors, and they have no permanent property. They work hard for Taiweixingjun and eat well and wear warmly. Who would like to go mining and pull fiber again?

It’s just that if you want to make a contribution, it’s not just about isolating a house!

——I really want to go into battle to kill the enemy, maybe I can really win a general back to Guangyao Gate.

Looking at the new military rank regulations, She An thought of making contributions for the first time in his heart.

Officers and even soldiers who thought like She An were not uncommon, but were really motivated. For a while, the army was motivated, and the morale during training was obviously higher than before. From the news of the ten-man regiment to the training results reported by Tanning, all urged Zhu Cixuan to integrate the Beijing camp earlier and catch some battles such as bandit suppression.

Faced with this situation where the morale of the army is available, Zhu Cilang is naturally very happy to see. When he was electing soldiers, he wanted those bachelors, and it turned out to be effective. If he was a little drag on his family, the military rank alone would probably not be enough to motivate them to go to the battlefield.

Since Sun Chuanting's death last year, Tongguan fell into Li Zicheng's hands, and entering and leaving the Central Plains was like entering a state of no one. The situation in the Ming Dynasty had become extremely bad. Zhu Cixuan was not from a history major, and he didn't know why Li Zicheng would delay the troops until March next year before the army arrived in Beijing. If you just look at it from the map, going from Tongguan to Henan to the capital would be as simple as an autumn outing.

Under this situation, the sooner the new army was trained, the more we could retain the vitality of the Ming Dynasty and seek recovery. As long as the Zhu family was still sitting in the world, Wu Sangui would naturally not lead the Qing army into the pass, and the tragic encounters of China should be avoided. In fact, although the Qing Dynasty was first established, it was still a barbaric nation and could not be compared with the Liao and Jin during the Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the Empress said that today is the end of the quarantine date of Duke Cheng's Mansion. Please enter the palace to pay your respects." Yao Tao is not only Zhu Cilang's account, but also a channel for the female officials in the palace to convey informal orders.

Zhu Cixuan then raised his head from the military ambition, looked at the calendar on the case, and said, "Is it today? So fast?"

"The Empress misses Your Highness. She has lost weight a lot after having a meal every day." Yao Tao lowered her voice, as if she was so moved that she was about to cry.

Zhu Cixuan was very grateful to Zhou Hou and Chongzhen for the body he created for him, and he had nothing to complain about his living environment. Although the two saints had hundreds of years of ideological gap with him, their love for their son was exactly the same as in later generations.

Zhu Cixuan shook the instructions that had just been written on the case and handed them over to Tian Cunshan for him to forward them. He got up and pulled the bell that summoned Liu Ruoyu, and said, "Then let's enter the palace now, and see if you can still have a meal."
