On the second day, all officers and soldiers from the first and second towns gathered on the training field. Wearing a big-brimmed hat, a gray-green straight military uniform, and a silver-white sword, Li Zhongyi appeared on the coaching field riding a sweaty BMW. At today¡¯s rally, Li Zhongyi will personally award the First Class Iron Cross to the warriors who have won first class merit. According to the medal regulations, the Iron Ten Medal is only available to military personnel, and will not be awarded to those without military merit. The Iron Cross medal designed and finalized by Li Zhongyi himself is a cross-shaped medal formed by a black inner plate and a white edge. The ribbon is based on black and is supplemented by two narrow white strips. The Iron Cross of the Third Reich was also divided into the Knight's Iron Cross. It was too complicated, so Li Zhongyi simply simplified it. The Iron Cross Medal of the Li Han Empire is divided into eight levels, among which the first-level Iron Cross Medal is extremely rare. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to obtain it without dying in the line of duty. However, during the winter counterattack against the Khitans, five captains, platoon leaders or tent leaders led the soldiers deep into the enemy's rear and destroyed at least 500 Khitan tents. According to the regulations of the medal, warriors who have won the Iron Cross First Class will be crowned with the supreme honor by the Emperor himself. It is difficult for an army without a sense of honor to win a war. Today¡¯s imperial army has gradually transitioned from the old-style Forbidden Army to the new-style Army, which emphasizes the sense of honor of soldiers more than before. When Li Zhongyi reined in his horse in front of the three armies, the commanders of the first town and the second town galloped to the front of the emperor's carriage, raised their swords and saluted. Li Haodong, the military judge, took the emperor's look and took the initiative to clap his horse and read out the order for the conferment of honors aloud. In a short time, five decorated warriors stood proudly in front of 60,000 soldiers and saluted the emperor together. Li Zhongyi solemnly returned the gift, then took a medal and hung it on the chest of the first warrior with his own hands. "My warrior, I hope you will continue your efforts and make new achievements bravely." Li Zhongyi looked at the tough warrior and liked him sincerely. He couldn't help but adjust his military cap for him, hugged his arm hard, and shook it vigorously a few times. "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you and the empire till my death." The warrior shed tears of excitement. Li Zhongyi raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said solemnly: "I hope you can live forever and witness the military power of the empire with your own eyes." "In addition, I would also like to congratulate you on your future service. When you take office, all the yamen in the empire, including Tiqisi and Jingzheng Temple, will be available for you to choose." Li Zhongyi's words made all the five warriors smile. ¡°If they had not achieved first-class military merit, how could yamen such as Jingzhengsi and Tiqisi, which have real power, allow officers with grassroots backgrounds to choose freely? "I swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death." The warrior swore loudly and forcefully. Nowadays, as the grassroots official positions in the empire are basically filled, not everyone can transfer officers after their service period expires. Officers who are eligible for transfer will adopt a rating system after twenty years of service. For example, if you are stationed in a big city, there will be no bonus points. Those stationed at border posts will receive an additional 100 points per year. Those who achieve first-class merit will receive an additional two hundred points. No bonus points will be given to officers at the town headquarters, association headquarters, standard headquarters, battalion headquarters, and team headquarters at all levels. Li Zhongyi was originally an emperor from a grassroots background. Naturally, he knew very well that officers who had the ability to stay in the town, association and standard departments could not be ordinary people. Adopting a scoring system is relatively fair. It is unlikely that an officer who relied on nepotism to live a good life in a big city would still occupy the best position when he transferred. "If injustice continues for a long time, the morale of the military will definitely be unstable. Then how can we make the soldiers do their best?" "Whether it is the people or the army, they are not worried about the lack of numbers, but only about the inequality. When facing the second first-class merit winner, Li Zhongyi¡¯s mood became particularly complicated. Damn it, this bastard Li Jixiao actually risked his own life to get a first-class military honor. Should the emperor's father be happy, or should he be afraid? "Congratulations, my warrior." Li Zhongyi personally placed the Iron Cross First Class on his son's head, and couldn't help but caress his still slightly immature face. "I will strive to make new achievements and be awarded the Iron Cross as soon as possible." Li Jixiao's heroic words made Li Zhongyi have mixed feelings, and he didn't know what he was feeling. Second-class merit medals are awarded by the town leaders themselves. The third-class merit medal is awarded by the association leaders. Li Zhongyi stands tall in the Great Cao CaoIn the middle of the room, his eyes glanced at Li Jixiao from time to time. So far, Li Zhongyi has seven sons in total. Except for Xiao Qilang, who was born to the Dazhou family, he has no right to inherit the throne at all. The remaining six princes are all candidates for examination. "If something happens to Li Jixiao, Li Zhongyi's choice of successor to the empire will be much narrower. ¡°Li Jixiao, this bastard, is really such a bastard. Continuing to put Li Jixiao on the front line of the war, Li Zhongyi had a hunch that it was very likely that the white-haired man would send the black-haired man away, so that the relatives would hate each other. Although he knew that Li Jixiao might not be happy, Li Zhongyi couldn't afford to lose. Therefore, he made up his mind to withdraw Li Jixiao from the front-line troops. Li Jiyi among the crowd looked at his heroic second brother with mixed feelings in his heart. Li Jixiao made great military exploits through life and death, and showed his face in front of his father. The battle for the throne in the future will definitely become more complicated. ??An old proverb says, Mother is the eldest uncle, and father is the eldest uncle. ??Actually, this sentence is only half correct. Among the relatives in the natal family, there is no conflict of interest between the uncle and the nephew, so the relationship between the uncle and the nephew is naturally much closer. However, the relationship between uncle and nephew is much more complicated. If the family property passed down from grandpa is not much, it is possible for father and uncle to negotiate peacefully. According to the experience of later generations, in any family with an inheritance exceeding tens of millions, there will basically be a drama between brothers and sisters fighting for the family property. Why? The interests involved are simply too great. One-tenth of the inheritance is worth a million. Whoever doesn't fight for it is a fool. Father and uncle have a falling out. In most cases, the relationship between uncle and nephew will become estranged or even turn against each other. This is still a fight for family property among common people. Li Zhongyi conquered a vast territory of thousands of miles. It was a blessing that brothers and fathers and sons did not kill each other with swords. In the era of imperial autocracy, the struggle for the successor to the empire is the most deadly struggle! After the medal ceremony, the senior generals of the General Logistics Department distributed military awards for the Northern Expedition in public. For first-class military merit, a reward of 10,000 guan will be given. When you transfer to another position after serving, you can choose the yamen and location of your placement. Second-class military merit is rewarded with five hundred guan. Two second-class meritorious services will give priority to placement when the service is completed and transferred. Third-class military merit is rewarded with one hundred guan. There are only bonus points when changing jobs, there are no other benefits. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Distribution of rewards in public, fair and open, no one can say anything. Whether it is in the old Forbidden Army or the new army, the commanders are not responsible for managing money or property. Military pay, supplies and rewards are all distributed in public by officers from the Logistics Department. The army general, once you master the money, eat cards, deduct the army, and misappropriate public funds, it will definitely not be avoided. After the meeting, the officers and soldiers of the first town and the second town began to take turns to take vacations. The reason why we need to take turns to take vacations is mainly because of the lessons learned last time. Tens of thousands of wealthy people suddenly poured into the streets and alleys of the capital. Good guy, the price level on the market has suddenly increased several times. Some are happy and some are sad. Brothers Li Jiyi and Li Jixiao received their transfer orders almost at the same time. The order clearly stated that they would be transferred to the chief mountain chief's office and serve as staff officers. "Father, I don't want to leave the combat unit." Li Jixiao endured it again and again, but he couldn't bear it anymore and finally burst out. Li Zhongyi had already thought of a countermeasure, then waved his hand and said: "My son is not only a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, but also needs to be proficient in government affairs. Therefore, the reason why I am transferring you back this time is not to let you stay in the capital and enjoy happiness. , but will send you to a small county in the west to serve as the county magistrate." The two Li brothers were stunned at the same time. Don't you need to take the new imperial examination to be qualified for the county magistrate? Li Zhongyi saw the doubts of the two brothers and couldn't help but smile: "I have compiled the file information for you. It is perfect. You just go and take office." "Remember, the prime minister must start from the state and county. County officials only If you are an official who cares for the people, but you are not a county magistrate, how can you thoroughly understand the people's sentiments? If you don't understand the people's sentiments, the imperial court and the kingdom will issue decrees, which may ultimately harm the people." Li Zhongyi raised three fingers and said seriously, "Here. If you can't manage a county in three years, you can only come back and serve as my staff. "Without competition, how can the survival of the fittest be achieved? According to Li Zhongyi¡¯s training process, all his sons will go through the entire process. The first to join the grassroots training of the army??, understand the sufferings of ordinary soldiers and master the shortcomings of the military. Then he was transferred to the county magistrate to revitalize commerce, develop education, maintain public order, and learn the essentials of caring for the people. This so-called, mount the horse to manage the army, dismount the horse to care for the people, is the complete imperial education. In fact, after the sons had served as county magistrates and achieved political achievements, they would be enfeoffed to the Philippines in Southeast Asia. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Objectively speaking, the education of princes in history is really done best by the Qing Dynasty. However, the education of Tatar princes was still bound to the Confucian classics of agricultural civilization and did not integrate into advanced industrial civilization, leading to the tragic situation of being left behind and beaten. The two eldest grandsons quietly left the capital and rushed to their respective counties. When Empress Dowager Xue found out, she had no choice but to slap the table and hit the chairs to find fault. After all, the emperor is cultivating the successor of the empire, how could he not do it with caution?
