Chapter 252： Military payment system

Compared with Liu Han three, Wang Dayong is progressing more smoothly here.

The Qing army in Jingdezhen, Yingtan, Shangrao and other places did not deploy heavy troops. When they encountered the main force of the Wu army, they were quickly defeated.

After occupying these places, Wu Changqing gained a lot of tax revenue.

Jingdezhen's porcelain is famous all over the world, especially now that ocean trade has started, the porcelain here has become more in short supply. At the same time, Jingdezhen also made a lot of wealth by selling exquisite porcelain.

Now, the tax here belongs to Wu Changqing.

In addition to porcelain, the farmland around Poyang Lake is a very important grain-producing area.

After taking control of this place, the people in Wu Changqing's jurisdiction can not only have enough food, but there are also grains that can be sold to other places.

Wang Dayong left thousands of people to garrison these places, and then began to return to Nanjing with the main force.

Their combat plan this time has been completed, and the next step is to return to Nanjing to rest, then cross the river north to start the Northern Expedition.

After eliminating the army of Luck Dehun, the Wu Jun no longer threatened much in the south.

Whether it is Zhu Yihai or Zhu Yujian, or He Tengjiao in the west, their strength is not enough to shake the foundation of Wu Changqing.

In this way, he can rest assured of the Northern Expedition and go straight to the Central Plains.

At the beginning of June, all the army returned to Nanjing.

At this time, the number of Wu's troops has reached 220,000, of which 150,000 are the main force and 70,000 are the second-line troops stationed in the local area.

The larger the size of the army, the more detailed its division.

If this is not the case, the military expenditure is simply too much.

A main flintlock soldier has a monthly salary of three taels of silver. If they all follow this standard, then their monthly army salary will cost 660,000 yuan, plus the cost of materials, 1 million a month is not enough.

No one can sustain this kind of expenditure. Zhu Yujian raises a soldier, and he doesn't even get one or two dollars a month. Among Zhu Yihai's army, only the main army's salary can reach one or two.

In the Qing army, the monthly salary of the main force of the Eight Banners can reach two or two, and the other second-line troops have only one or two or even less.

Among all the armies, Wu Changqing's military salary is the highest, which is also an important reason for their strength. People are willing to sell their lives only if there is a lot of money.

Many soldiers who surrendered were very willing to work for Wu Changqing, relatively safe and making money.

In order to solve the problem of military expenditure, Wu Changqing also subdivided the army.

Among them, the miscellaneous troops stationed in small places such as Yingtan Fuzhou have only eight yuan per month. The average monthly payment for the second-line troops stationed in important places such as Nanchang, Jiujiang, and Suzhou is one or two yuan.

Among these units, the cold weapon unit has a monthly salary of one or two, the firegun army has a monthly salary of one to two, and the grenadier and other technical arms also have a monthly salary of one to two.

The main force in the field, the lowest-level cold weapon unit, also has a monthly salary of one to five dollars. These are the main forces in the siege of the city, and they often need to work hard, and soldiers who do not have such a high salary will inevitably have resentment in their hearts.

There are two or two matchlock troops, three and two flintlock troops, and other technical arms are higher.

The basis for the formulation of these military rates is mainly determined from the risk, effectiveness, and technical difficulty.

The more dangerous the place, the higher the military pay. For example, hard fights are based on the main force, so the main force’s military pay is higher than that of the second-line troops stationed there.

The more effective the soldier, the higher the military salary. For example, snipers, their role is much greater than that of ordinary soldiers, and their military pay is also much higher.

The higher the technical requirements, the higher the military pay, such as artillery, the captain of the navy, and so on.

After subdividing, Wu Changqing can save nearly 300,000 military expenses every month.

The most important thing is that this kind of military payment system can convince the soldiers without feeling unfair.

If you feel unfair, you can try to climb up.

In order to give these soldiers an ascent path, Wu Changqing also formulated various methods of transfer.

It is very simple for second-line troops to enter the main force, train hard, and then apply for assessment. Individual quality, all skills can be passed the assessment.

In the main force, the cold weapon unit wants to be transferred to the firecracker army, only need to perform well in the battle, the next time the advanced weapons will be given priority.

With the continuous production of flintlock guns, many cold weapon units that have done a lot of work have been replaced with shotguns, and they have successfully transferred to become the core force.

And if you want to become other technical arms, you can only rely on their own learning and talents.

People who think they are talented can apply for assessment.

After passing the assessment, they can be transferred to artillery, cavalry and navy.

The only special thing is the sniper company. At present, there is basically no way to enter the sniper company. You can only wait for the sniper company to suffer casualties.

However, this wish is difficult to realize. Among the entire army, the sniper company is the safest.

Having fought so many wars, the Sniper Company has killed one person at present, and they are still accidentally shot in the head by Liu Ya. It is sheer luck to get home.

If you want to become a sniper, you might as well use snacks when you go to night school, learn to measure and recognize words, so you can at least be transferred to an artillery.

The army began to rest and reorganize in Nanjing, and Wu Changqing also wanted to reward the generals for their merits and conduct some military personnel changes.

Army reorganization is a very delicate matter, and there are many aspects that need to be considered.

For example, improving the military's combat power, facilitating command, changing the power of officers, and so on.

In order to complete the adaptation, Wu Changqing even stayed up all night.

The next day, Wu Changqing held the highest-level military conference. In the main force, officers above the regiment commander were almost all present.

In a large living room, there is a rectangular wooden table in the middle, which can seat about thirty people on both sides. These are the positions of the division commander, the chief of staff, and some special brigade commanders.

There are wooden signs with names on them, tea, fruits, and people with names can sit on both sides of the wooden table.

The other regimental commanders, brigade commander-level officers, sat on the chairs around them, and didn't even have a cup of tea.

In the army, there is no saying that everyone is equal. The most important thing in the army is the hierarchy. Regardless of official position, military rank, clothing medals, etiquette, every detail emphasizes the hierarchy.

In the army, it is important to obey the command of the chief.

An army without absolute obedience is a mob, because in battle, sometimes it is always necessary to sacrifice the ego and some people to die.

Without absolute obedience, who wants to die?

This is cruel to individuals who are asked to sacrifice. But in order to win, in order to reduce losses, for the benefit of most people, this kind of cruelty is necessary.
