085 A Confession of Military Merit

"Your Majesty, according to recent investigations, the fighting enthusiasm in the Greek legion was very sluggish, especially those auxiliary soldiers, who were almost unwilling to set foot on the battlefield, and stayed in the army entirely for the sake of making a living, and this emotion inevitably infected the formal Greek warriors.

A terrible idea has begun to prevail in the army--the Greeks should not fight bloodily for the Han king."

After listening to Daji's report, Xiao Yunyang's eyes turned to the other four cabinet members.

Mulan of the Ministry of Military Affairs looked at the nose and nose, but the Greek legion was not under her control. The Ministry of Military Affairs was mainly responsible for the Han military households and local garrison troops. Due to the complex composition, the Greek legion was divided into a team that belonged to the Greek kings alone.

Of course, Mulan's attitude is not because it doesn't matter, but because she only knows how to train and fight. This issue of regulating ethnic conflicts goes beyond Mulan's knowledge...

Xiao Yunyang knew Mulan very well and did not stop looking at her.

"The Kingdom of Macedonia has stopped its attack on Persian orcs. We must speed up the pace of the attack on the Kingdom of Macedonia. The Kingdom of Macedonia is vast and cannot be compared with the Greeks. The war cannot end in a short period of time.

Therefore, we need a lot of human resources. If the Greek legion has weak fighting will, it will be difficult for us to occupy the entire Macedonian Kingdom by relying solely on our summoned soldiers and Chinese soldiers. Even if we win many battles, we cannot occupy the enemy's territory and end the war.

I hope there is a way to boost the morale of white Greeks."

Minister of Finance Kong Ming frowned and replied: "Your Majesty, our treatment of war soldiers to the Greek legion has been raised to the highest level. No matter how high it is, it is easy to cause a serious fiscal deficit. Moreover, the fighting will of Greek war soldiers has declined, not because of the low treatment, but because there is not much room for improvement.

The subordinates believe that we should clarify the promotion system in the Greek legion, clearly divide officers and honors at all levels, and then artificially divide them into different levels by settlement of military merits."

As soon as Kong Ming finished speaking, Jia Xu immediately continued: "Your Majesty, the number of military positions is limited, one carrot and one pit. It is easy for multiple heroes to compete for one position in a battle.

Therefore, we cannot simply use military positions as military merit rewards, but we can list honorary and military merit titles that enhance the military and social status without real power.

We divide this military title into levels and we will be promoted several levels in a row to be qualified to become an alternate officer in a certain position and serve as a deputy.

In this way, the position of the full officer will not be affected, and a large number of substitutes can be selected by using military merits to fill the gap after the officers are killed when the battle is fierce.

The subordinates suggested that each level of military merit title can be divided into 1 to 9, and a policy of profit-making is implemented. All non-Han civilians and soldiers can only be promoted through military merit.

From then on, within our Han system, ethnic groups that were not Han people were not allowed to be officials, including civil and military officers.

If you want to become an official, you must join the army and fight and win the title of honor of the Han people.

The title of honoring Han people is to be promoted to 9th level and then further obtained.

We don’t have to be too rigid in this promotion mechanism. When the battle is fierce, we can use the level of honor to tempt a large group of white people to die.

Of course, after becoming honorary Han people, these white people remained in the army, and even if they became officials, they would serve as military positions. Unless they could live until they retire, they would never be able to get involved in civilians in this life.

The civil servants of our great Han Dynasty only selected from the white nobles and Han people who surrendered. The whites and even the soldiers of the whites must pass military merits to implement class leap.

When the ascending channel is limited to one path, those white people will be happy when they have a little bit of motivation!

In addition, we must also make the lower-level white people have contrast and not let them have enough food.

However, our great men have always done a good job in this regard. Now even Athenian citizens are unable to eat enough because of the heavy taxes. This can inspire them to join the army and contribute to the expansion of our great men."

The last remark sounded a little familiar to Xiao Yunyang. After thinking about it carefully, isn’t this the so-called house slave remark he had in his previous life?

However, in that era, everyone could have a full meal, and there was no war that required death. Therefore, the conditions that inspired young people to work hard became to put a lot of loan pressure on them, so that young people would not dare to resign or pursue the so-called freedom when they repay their loans every month...

Xiao Yunyang, who has memories of his previous life, knows very well that this trick is very useful!

Otherwise, how could the motherland in the previous life be built so strong?

The working people at the grassroots level are the greatest contributors!

By the same token, the extraordinary individuals in this world have not yet reached the point where one person becomes an army, so the war still relies on most people. The mere 5,000 Han people alone will not be able to rely on for a while.

Therefore, the indigenous whites must mobilize the enthusiasm for war.

"Okay, that's it. Military merits can be used to correspond to five major levels, including soldiers, soldiers, lieutenants, and school. Each level is divided into nine levels, with a total of forty-five levels. From the ninth level to the first level, the first level can be obtained as honorary Han people.

There is no specific position for military merit titles, but the selection of military officers and the filling of deputy-level official positions are promoted from those with high military merit titles. In addition, each large-level military merit title can receive additional rewards of varying degrees in terms of military pay.

In terms of officers, those with low-level military meritorious titles must salute those with high-level military meritorious titles, but there is no superior-level command relationship.

Well, you can plan the specific etiquette and rewards in detail and make a charter for me to see.”

"Yes, your Majesty."

Facts have proved that human beings attach great importance to dignity and status, not to mention that this status is also linked to treatment.

As soon as the system of military merits and titles was released, the entire Greek army was in an uproar, and the atmosphere within the army suddenly changed.

Even those auxiliary soldiers who are ordinary people became eager to try.

Because what determines their military status is no longer personal strength, but military achievements made!

The sluggish morale of the Greek Legion first spread from the auxiliary troops, mainly because they could not see hope for a rise.

As a preferential treatment for Greek warriors, they received the title of First Class Military Merit from the very beginning. As long as they make a great contribution, they can be directly promoted to honor the Han people!

Naturally, officers at all levels in the Greek legion also obtained military titles of varying status, and such titles that add to the income are naturally very popular.
