On the tenth day of the fifth month of the third year of the Qin Dynasty, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty solemnly issued an edict in Xianyang Palace, the most important law among the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the "Laws of War", to inform all the people of the world.
In fact, in the past year, Da Qin has successively promulgated twelve laws and regulations covering various aspects including people's livelihood, state affairs, government orders, etc. These laws and regulations are all part of the laws of Da Qin and have been printed in volumes and sent to all counties in Da Qin.
When all the laws and regulations of Hu Hai's plan are officially sorted out, these laws and regulations will be compiled into a book called "Da Qin Law". Obviously, Da Qin Law will be a collection of all the laws of Da Qin.
The first twelve laws, involving stable laws, granary laws, field laws, etc., are mainly laws related to people's livelihood. These laws already have the basis in Da Qin, but the above provisions are removed from the original laws.
severe punishment and became greatly humanized.
The previous twelve laws can actually only be regarded as minor laws, because they all involve laws from relatively remote areas of the empire. The "Laws of War" should be the first one since Hu Hai issued an edict to the world to rewrite the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
This is an important law, and similarly, the "Laws of War" is also one of the most important laws for the empire.
This was also the first time in more than a year that Hu Hai personally issued an edict to inform the world. Before the cabinet appeared, the previous twelve laws were jointly signed by three provinces and six ministries and published in each county. After the cabinet, they were jointly signed by
The cabinet issues documents directly to each county.
It is precisely because of the importance of the "Laws of War" that Hu Hai personally issued an edict to inform the world.
The new "Military Code" still continues the basic content of the previous Da Qin Military Code, which is the system of conferring titles based on military merit. In this aspect, Hu Hai wants to change, but obviously it is not the time to change the Da Qin Military Code based on military titles.
when.
While retaining the military nobility system, the new "Military Code" emphasizes the provisions on the beliefs and disciplines of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. This belief should actually be faith. The new "Military Code" has an extra sentence before each section. That is
All soldiers of the Great Qin must be loyal to the Emperor of Great Qin, with the highest mission of safeguarding the empire and safeguarding the glory of the Emperor. Fighting for the Emperor of Great Qin, this sentence appeared for the first time in the official laws of the Great Qin.
Military discipline regulations not only specify what the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty cannot do, but also detail the punishment measures for each illegal act. At the same time, a new military law department was established in the Ministry of War, responsible for reviewing and handling disciplinary violations by generals and soldiers at all levels.
.
This also means that from now on, only the Military Justice Department can convict and sentence registered regular soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and local counties and counties no longer have the right to arrest and try the regular soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
These changes were only minor changes in the military regulations. The impact was not too big. However, the new military regulations proposed for the first time the Great Qin military system that combined professional soldiers and compulsory soldiers.
Professional soldiers, as the name suggests, are soldiers who serve as soldiers as a profession.
Since the "Law of War" was issued to the world, it includes the Yulin Army, the Huben Army, the White Tiger Army, the Qinglong Army, the Suzaku Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Jiuyuan Army, the Longxi Army, the Pingyi Army, the South Navy, the South Vietnam Army, the Guilin Army, and the Tengshe Army.
Sixteen legions, including the army and so on, became the first batch of professional soldiers officially registered in the Qin Dynasty.
Only the twelve armies were actually announced, and the other four armies were obviously kept secrets of Great Qin and did not appear among the named legions.
The South Vietnamese Army is the one hundred thousand troops under Feng Jie who are building the road from Nanhai to Xiangjun; the Guilin Army is the one hundred thousand troops under Han Xin who are building the road from Nanhai to Minzhong County.
The household registrations, relatives, property, etc. of all soldiers under these sixteen legions will be transferred directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of War, and will be jointly managed by the Military Law Department of the Ministry of War and the Supervision Department of Zongzheng Prefecture, in coordination with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
From now on, the Military Justice Department and the Supervision Department will control and manage the pensions of all registered regular army professional soldiers who are killed or disabled in battle, as well as the taxation and labor service of their families. The Ministry of Household Affairs is also only responsible for coordination.
After serving for ten years, all regular soldiers will automatically retire and return to their place of residence. The Ministry of War will then be responsible for arranging to serve as inspectors or government officials in inns or counties.
Inspector Yamen, which is later known as the police station and public security bureau, is responsible for public security in various counties and counties, detecting theft and catching thieves.
After ten years of service, if you do not want to retire, you can submit your application for continued service to the Military Justice Department of each army. The application will be reviewed by the Ministry of War. If passed, you can continue to serve in the major legions.
The regular soldiers of the sixteen legions are exempt from all labor service of their immediate family members during their service, and the tax is one-twenty. If the land produced is divided into twenty parts, they only need to pay one part, and the remaining nineteen parts are their own.
.
This tax rate can be said to be the first of its kind.
The Qin Dynasty established the country based on law and laid the foundation for unifying the world with the military nobility system. The new military regulations perfectly combined the two. Not only did the regulations give regular soldiers the honor and care they should enjoy, but they also clearly stipulated that they
Responsibilities and boundaries that must be observed. Those who cross the boundaries will be severely punished. Without good discipline, it is absolutely impossible to have an elite and invincible army.
The emergence of the compulsory military system, also called the county military system, laid the foundation for the true long-lasting prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.
The new military regulations stipulate that all adult males between the ages of 18 and 24 in all counties of Daqin must register to join the army at the Military Law Department of the Ministry of War in each county after the coming-of-age ceremony.
Not everyone can pass this registration. The Military Justice Department will carefully examine the body of each adult male who signs up and select the best. There are 10,000 people in each county.
These 10,000 people will be stationed in each county as soldiers in each county, responsible for dealing with emergencies. As for the generals who will command these 10,000 soldiers, they will be reported by the Ministry of War after selecting them from sixteen regular armies.
Appointed by the emperor. They are not only the commander-in-chief of the tens of thousands of soldiers, they are also responsible for the task of training the soldiers of these thousands of counties.
County soldiers only need to serve for three years before they can retire and go home. They can do whatever they have to do.
County soldiers are also managed by the Military Law Department of each county. However, the household registration of county soldiers will not be transferred during their service. County soldiers, like the regular army, need to abide by the regulations on the conduct, words and deeds of soldiers in the military law.
Of course, county soldiers also have the opportunity to become regular soldiers. In the second half of the third year, the Military Justice Department will issue an application form to each soldier. If you want to continue serving, you need to fill out the application, and then the soldiers will send personnel to conduct an assessment.
If you pass, you will be randomly transferred into the sixteen regular armies as soldiers. If you fail the test, you will go where you came from.
As soon as the "Laws of War" was promulgated, the world was immediately shocked. From this series of reforms in laws and regulations, people all over the world clearly felt the determination of the second emperor Hu Hai to reform and his people-oriented and concern for the country.
The first recruitment of county troops will officially kick off on the day after National Memorial Day. Except for the newly established counties in Da Qin, the remaining 46 counties will open their doors at the same time on the fourth day of June.
Accepting registration from adult men of appropriate age. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
