Chapter 135 Rewards for Military Merit

"First of all, I suggest that the name of Xingtu Army be cancelled and modified to Nanchuan Army."

As soon as Lin Chuan said this, a sensation suddenly caused a stir in the conference room.

Even Katon and Lin Nuoyan were shocked. You should know that Xing Tu's military name has been used since the imperial tomb. There are countless Xing Tu soldiers who have been in charge of this battle, and they sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

The commander of the 11th Banner Regiment stood up and objected: "I object, our Xingtu army was changed to the Nanchuan army, so what have we become? Are we worthy of the dead brothers?!"

"Yes, our Xing Tu Army is fine, why did we change it to Nanchuan Army?!"

The first thing they stood up to oppose was the veterans from Xing Tujun. They already had feelings for Xing Tujun. Now they suddenly wanted to remove Xing Tujun's number, which made them unable to accept it.

Even Xia Ge, Gangyu and other officers who have always supported Lin Chuan were silent and obviously disagreed with this proposal.

In the end, Lin Nuoyan stood up and suppressed the discussion and asked Lin Chuan to continue speaking.

Lin Chuan did not expect that the modification of Xingtu Army's military name would be subject to such great resistance, but he did not retreat and continued: "Xingtu is the dynasty's contempt for us, and it is because he looks down on us. Xingtu always is like a shackle, which makes us unable to become normal people. Who would be Xingtu soldiers? In the past, it was the dynasty that made us Xingtu. Today we will break this shackle and become dignified people, not the inferior Xingtu, so Xingtu Army's military name will no longer exist."

"We had resisted the dynasty in order to survive. Now we have broken away from the control of the dynasty. Why do we still retain the title of Xingtu imposed on us by the dynasty? From today on, let us use the sword in our hands to fight for a better life, Xingtu! Let it become history!"

Lin Chuan's words silenced the Xing Tu generals who had just opposed it. In the past, they used to call themselves Xing Tujun, but now if you think about it carefully, yes, who is willing to be Xing Tu? Who is unwilling to live a normal life?

Xia Ge stood up first and expressed his support to Lin Chuan: "I agree to modify the name of Xing Tu's army. We are not the lowly Xing Tu in the dynasty people. We were also ordinary people. Now we want to become ordinary people again."

Lin Chuan smiled slightly for Xia Ge's support and expressed his gratitude.

"Go to him, damn, labor and capital have long been no longer Xing Tu, why do you still have to be Xing Tu? People look down on me?" Someone stood up to express his support.

Lin Nuoyan spoke at the right time: "Agree to modify it to the Nanchuan Army's raising of hand."

As soon as Lin Nuo's words fell, he first raised his hands and agreed with both hands.

The Xingtu soldiers have carried too much hatred, and it is time to let it go.

It is always uncomfortable to be called Xing Tu. The civil servants raised their hands to agree without exception. After pondering for a while, the officers raised their hands to express their agreement.

"Although we changed to the Nanchuan Army, we are still charging under the black battle flag. One day, our black battle flag will be planted on the top of Wangjing City!"

"Long live the Nanchuan Army!" [31 Novel Network] Xia Ge raised his right fist and raised it over his head, shouting loudly.

"Long live the Nanchuan Army, long live the Nanchuan Army!" Everyone shouted excitedly.

In Lin Chuan's military outline, the purpose of revising the military name is to eliminate the inferiority in the hearts of the Xing Tu soldiers, fight with a normal mentality and enjoy life.

"The second rectification is that our army implements the compulsory military service system."

Although Xing Tu's army now controls dozens of towns and the entire northern part of Nanchuan Province is occupied by them, with a population of nearly one million under their command, not many people actively join the army. In order to have enough reserve troops, Lin Chuan thought about it and finally decided to implement the compulsory military service system.

Lin Chuan had discussed the idea of ​​the military service system with Katon and Lin Nuoyan before, and got their unanimous agreement, so now Lin Chuan said that they were not surprised.

"What is the military service system for the conscript?" A civil servant stood up and asked.

The generals were all rude and had no idea, so they looked at Lin Chuan with a confused look on their faces.

Lin Chuan smiled. The compulsory military service system is the military service system of later generations, so just explain it yourself.

"The so-called conscripted military service system is that within the territory controlled by our army, all young and strong men over 16 must serve in the army for three years, and then automatically discharge the army and return to their hometown after three years."

A civil servant immediately asked dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Lin, as you say, all the young and strong men have joined the army. Who will cultivate the land and who will guarantee the huge military rations they consume? Do you want them to go to the army to drink the northwest wind?!"

Xia Ge also stood up and asked worriedly: "If we retire after three years, how can the military's combat effectiveness be guaranteed?"

Lin Chuan smiled. He was prepared for these things.

"First of all, I want to answer the question about who cultivates the fields. All young and over 16 years old join the army does not join the army at all at once, but is carried out in batches. The first batch will be discharged and the second batch will enter the military camp, so there is no need to worry that no one will cultivate the fields."

"It's even simpler about how to ensure combat effectiveness. Our army will establish a full-time recruit battalion. All recruits who enlist in the army will undergo three months of intensive training before they will be assigned to various combat troops. I here guarantee that you will get qualified soldiers, not like the current stragglers."

Gangyu asked worriedly: "But will the enforcement of this system cause dissatisfaction among the people? After all, when fighting in the army, the head is tied to the waist of the pants. Who would be willing to send their children to the army to fight?"

Lin Chuan smiled and replied: "This is related to the other system I will talk about next."

"In the past, our army did not have military pay, but after implementing the military service system for compulsory soldiers, all soldiers will receive a silver coin military pay every month, and the brave warriors will receive more rewards."

"But that requires a huge amount of money, where does it come from?"

Consul Katun said, "No need to worry, since we have proposed it, we will have enough military pay."

The words of the consul Katton were very convincing, after all, he always had a word of everything.

"In addition to the military pay system, our army will also implement a military rank system, and officers of different levels will receive an extra reward when they are discharged from the army."

Someone asked curiously: "What is that reward?"

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Ordinary soldiers will receive ten gold coins for retirement. The whole family will be exempted from duty for one year. In addition to ten gold coins, ordinary soldiers will also be distributed to ten acres of land for life. Senior sergeants will receive more. Of course, you must have enough military achievements to be promoted..."

"Hiss!" Hearing this, the officials in the conference room took a breath. This reward was too great.

You should know that one gold coin is enough for a family of three to live for a year, while ordinary veterans have ten gold coins.

More importantly, becoming an ordinary soldier will receive ten acres of land, and it will be tax-free for life, which means that if you have been in the army for three years, you will not have to worry about your whole life.

This reward is too great, so great that many people are jealous and breathing rapidly.

In fact, such generous rewards also encourage more people to join the army. After all, the Nanchuan Army is too weak now and will be swallowed by the beast of the Dynasty at any time.

Land is no problem at all. The Nanchuan Army eliminated the great nobles, and the land was more than ten thousand hectares, even if it was given to each soldier for fifty acres, it would be more than enough. (To be continued)
