Chapter 931 Establishment of the Military Rank System

"Yes, since I have promised, I should fulfill my promise."

"From now on, the East Factory will officially become the fourth special organization directly under our authority, and we will allocate two million taels of gold and some training resources as activity funds."

"In addition, among the many governors of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian, you have made the greatest contribution. Not only did you successfully complete the task that I gave to the East Factory."

"At the time when the two armies were at war, it was a huge contribution to countering the elite army of hundreds of thousands of the dynasty and cooperating with the main army in the rear."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I have specially promoted Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the East Factory, to be the governor of the East Factory, in charge of all matters of the East Factory, and the rest of the governor's positions will remain unchanged."

Under the watchful eyes of Wenwu and Wei Zhongxian of the Manchu Dynasty, Ying Ji not only fulfilled his promise, but officially promoted Dongchang to a special institution.

He also appointed and dismissed the powerful position of the supervisor of the East Factory, and the person appointed and removed was Wei Zhongxian, who made the most contributions among the supervisors of the East Factory.

"My minister, Wei Zhongxian, thank you for His Majesty's grace. Long live and long live Your Majesty."

After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's arrangement for Dongchang and his appointment and dismissal, Wei Zhongxian immediately felt that the sacrifices Dongchang had made over the years were all worth it.

And after putting in countless efforts, he finally got his wish to obtain the position of power as the director of the East Factory, and since then he has become the close friend of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Master of the Navy!"

"The minister is here!"

Hearing the call of His Majesty the Emperor, I saw Admiral Bismarck, the only white high-ranking minister in the imperial court and opposition, walking forward wearing a general's uniform.

"How's the job I gave you?"

Looking at Admiral Bismarck who came out of the group of ministers, Ying Ji's question made most of the imperial ministers puzzled, because they didn't even know that there was such a secret matter between His Majesty the Emperor and the Admiralty.

Of course, this is also limited to most imperial ministers.

Important ministers such as the presidents of the two houses, the prime ministers of the empire, and the ministers of the five ministries were all surprised when they saw His Majesty the Emperor calling the Minister of the Navy.

Because with their rank and authority, they naturally know what the Emperor's Majesty has handed over to the Minister of the Navy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after negotiating with the military generals such as Marshal Kong, Marshal Wu Lei, and General Bai Qi, we have finally developed and established a complete set of military rank system, which can be implemented only after His Majesty nods his approval."

Hearing the question from His Majesty the Emperor, Admiral Bismarck said so.

It was only then that everyone understood what the task that His Majesty the Emperor had entrusted to the Minister of the Navy was.

It turned out that it was led by the Minister of the Navy, assisted by many generals in the military, and jointly developed a military rank system to popularize the three armies.

For the military rank system, the civil and military officials who have read various books on technology and military for many years are not unfamiliar with it.

After all, the existing Imperial Navy and the Bauhinia Legion are an example.

Among them, Marshal Wu Lei, Marshal Sora, General Kizaru, General Akainu, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan and others all have military ranks.

By now, most of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have recovered.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor was going to promote the military rank system, which originally existed only in the Navy and the Bauhinia Legion, to the whole army.

"What is the level of the military rank system?"

Hearing that Bismarck had combined with the generals in the army to complete a complete set of military rank system, Ying Ji motioned for him to continue.

And Bismarck nodded, and then continued.

"After discussion with the ministers and the generals, the ranks of the generals from low to high are set as the third-level soldier, the second-level soldier, the first-level soldier, the third-level non-commissioned officer, the second-level non-commissioned officer, the first-level non-commissioned officer, the second lieutenant, the lieutenant, the captain, the major, There are seventeen grades of lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, and marshal."

A whole set of military rank system was born, and all the discussions in Xianyang Palace came to mind.

Admiral Bismarck and the generals in the army are veteran pillars of the military, and there is no big mistake in the setting of the military system.

The main discussion is whether the military rank system should be implemented in the military?

After all, this is already equivalent to a small military reform. It should not be sloppy. If it is wrong, it will affect the combat power of the three armed forces.

"There is no need to say more about this matter, I have made up my mind."

"This matter will be jointly responsible for the four people, Admiral Bismarck, Admiral Ying Ji, Admiral Bai Qi, and Admiral Kong. The rank system must be extended to the entire army within half a month."

"After half a month, I want to see that all the imperial soldiers can get this honor that matches their credit."

Glancing at the civil and military officials, Ying Ji said solemnly.

In fact, when Ying Ji was summoned to the navy many years ago, he was already thinking about whether to promote the rank system in the navy to the whole army.

Ying Ji came from later generations, knowing that the military rank system is an indispensable existence for a strong army, and that military rank is also the highest honor for soldiers.

Once the military rank system is popularized in the whole army, the soldiers of the army will definitely have a higher sense of belonging and honor to the army, and the combat power of the army will definitely go to a higher level.

This has been tested countless times in later generations.

The reason why the military rank system has not been popularized before is because the imperial army has undergone great changes in various strategies and tactics under the leadership of famous generals of the past dynasties.

However, it is still the model and soul of the ancient army in its bones, and the lack of a military rank system will not have much impact on combat effectiveness.

But it's different now.

With the continuous development of the empire, the emergence of various high-tech equipment and the innovation of tactics, the mode and soul of the imperial army must change from an ancient army to a new type of diversified army in order to adapt to the more complex needs of the wars of the heavens in the future.

The establishment of the military rank system is an important beginning and change, and Ying Ji must implement it.

Ying Ji's remarks made the court feel awe. From the remarks just now, all the Chinese military officials felt His Majesty's determination on this matter.

Now that His Majesty has made a decision, it is not easy for them to say anything.

However, if one day the military rank system causes adverse reactions in the three armies of the Empire, they will certainly advise against the abolition of the military rank system.

"I will obey your orders!"

Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's mission, the four named Bismarck, Bai Qi, Ying Ji, and Sora all stepped forward and said.

The tone is solemn and full of confidence.

They are all the framers of the military rank system, and naturally understand the importance and necessity of establishing a military rank system.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed necessary for the Empire to promote the military rank system that originally existed only in a small number of troops to the entire army.

As a result, a huge change for tens of millions of Qin soldiers is coming.

It is conceivable that once the news of the empire's plan to popularize the military rank system spreads, I am afraid that tens of millions of imperial troops will inevitably usher in a shock.

Of course, the shock will also bring huge benefits to the imperial army.
