I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Zeng Yi was impeached, and naturally he could not take office immediately according to the rules.

Regardless of whether he is guilty or not, he has to go through the process first and conduct some investigation.

In the end, it was proved that he was innocent before taking office.

Sometimes this kind of thing goes on for a long time, and the emperor may find it troublesome and simply change someone else. After all, an important department cannot have a leading person for a long time.

However, the establishment of the Ministry of Public Security will take some time, so there is no need to hurry.

Therefore, Wu Changqing did not think about other people, but urged the people in the inspectorate to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Like the Minister of Public Security, the struggle for the position of Shilang will also alarm the emperor.

However, Wu Changqing was unaware of the competition for some official positions under Yuanwailang.

In the process of this competition, all parties are doing their best. In the end, it was the Donglin Party that made the most profit.

No way, who made Gu Yanwu the Minister of Officials? Although he can't speak a word about the appointment and removal of low-level officials, he has the greatest right to speak.

As long as he is partial, he can seek greater benefits for the Donglin Party.

The Ministry of Personnel has always been the most important department.

When these people were busy fighting for power and profits, Wu Changqing held the first award ceremony for the army, in order to recognize some people in the army who made great contributions.

The scale of this award is very large, and it involves a lot of officers and soldiers.

Because, this time, it is a unified award, which means that from the beginning of his uprising to the present, those who have made great contributions in the whole process will be awarded.

Even some people who have died in battle will be awarded posthumously.

For example, during the expedition against Xuancheng, the soldier who used his last strength to report the news before his death was posthumously awarded the Second Grade Silver Sabre Medal this time.

For example, in the battle of Xuzhou, Zhao Xincheng, the head of the 213 regiment who led his troops to withstand the attack of Hauge's main force, had also died in the battle, and was the highest general in the Chinese army who died in battle.

He was posthumously awarded the second-rank Golden Sabre Medal.

The benefits attached to their medals are received by their families.

Of course, the benefits are relatively low, and the more important thing is honor.

The medals awarded by the emperor himself are of extraordinary significance.

With such honorable families, corrupt officials would not dare to bully them.

Otherwise, they will find a way to go to the emperor and cry. In order to create a loyal and good image, the emperor will definitely punish those corrupt officials severely.

This time, no one has been awarded the first-grade golden sword for the time being. There are only fifteen people who have won the second-rank Golden Sword Medal, and the number is very small. The three elders, plus Wu Yi, accounted for four places here.

The other winners are all with illustrious military exploits.

For example, Tang Guozhen's thousands of miles of raids, alone went deep.

Another example is Yan Chonglou. The sniper company he commanded has killed hundreds of enemy officers after dozens of battles.

For another example, the commander-in-chief of the grenadiers who took the lead many times and rushed to the front line was also awarded the second-rank golden sword.

There are many winners of the third-grade golden sword, the main division commander who has a little record, the regiment commander and brigade commander who has made small achievements, and the company battalion commander who has made great achievements.

These people have all won the medal of the third-grade golden sword, and the number of them is as many as sixty.

Compared with the entire army, the number is not much, and it is very precious.

Those who received the medal walked more sluggishly.

As for the soldiers, none of them have obtained the first-rank silver sword medal, and there are eight second-rank silver sword medals, all of whom have made great contributions to the army.

For example, reporting a letter before death, shooting Boluo, anti-dynamite bombing the city wall, and being the first to climb the city wall of Nanjing...

It is more difficult for soldiers to get medals than for officers, and they basically cost their lives.

There are more recipients of the third-grade silver sword medal, a total of 100 people, which can be regarded as a hope for ordinary soldiers, after all, the second-rank is too difficult to obtain.

Even if he is willing to sacrifice his life, he must have the opportunity to make merit.

The list was negotiated by many military officers, and Wu Changqing finally made the final decision and awarded the medal in person.

The second-grade golden sword and the second-grade silver sword were brought by him personally, and the third-grade one was brought by three military veterans, Li Shaobin, Liu Hansan and Wang Dayong.

The award ceremony was held in the main square, and people could also come to watch.

Wu Changqing wanted to use this method to tell the people who conquered this world, and to make the people show more respect for the army.

At the same time, it also stimulates the desire of ordinary people to join the army.

Those who take the initiative to join the army are definitely stronger than those who are forced to join the army in terms of will to fight.

When a few ordinary soldiers took the medal from Wu Changqing, the tears flowed non-stop.

This was awarded by the emperor himself. How could such a thing happen in the past.

They were even patted on the shoulders by Wu Changqing, what a great honor.

When the people below saw that scene, their teeth were shattered, and they only regretted that it was not themselves who were awarded the award.

And the people watching. It is especially excited, as if they also share the honor of those soldiers.

This is all because people at the bottom group the soldiers into the same category, thinking that the soldiers represent them. Soldiers are honored and they are happy.

And some big businessmen, men of gentry families, are staring at the officers who have been awarded the Golden Sabre Medal.

"Running thousands of miles and going deep alone, that's what a man should be."

A young man said excitedly that he had already decided to apply for the military academy, and then

After joining the army.

After all, only the military can have the opportunity to earn this honor.

When you become a civil servant, don't ever count on it.

The current Dahua is quite disliked by civil officials. Some civil officials have achieved the position of ministers, and they cannot even get the lowest title.

If you want to become a noble, it is still the most practical to join the army.

After all, the road of scientific research, not everyone can make it through, that stuff depends on talent.

"What, women can be honored too?"

Suddenly, a shocked voice sounded.

It turned out that the head nurse Tong Yan was also awarded the title of 'Women Hero' and was awarded the third-grade golden knife.

The reason is that this head nurse has saved more than 300 soldiers in the previous wars.

Of course, the rescue of more than 300 people is exaggerated, and some people would not have died without her treatment.

However, Wu Changqing wanted to establish a model, step by step, and subtly improve the status of women, so he exaggerated her achievements and made her a hero in women's high school.

It's just to award a medal to a woman. It is estimated that the ministers are not good at making a fuss about it and opposing it.

And as long as the ministers acquiesce, grant two more next time, or go further in other areas, the resistance will be smaller.

In short, everything Wu Changqing does has deep meaning.

Some of the rich ladies who came to watch the excitement were greatly shocked when they saw this scene, as if they had been opened to a new world.

It turns out that the most envied thing in life is not marrying a good husband, but relying on one's own hands to obtain honors, honors that most other men can't get.

This change in perception cannot be underestimated.

As long as women have the idea of ​​​​actively wanting to change, it will be easier to liberate women in the future.

The impact of awarding honors to female nurses is far-reaching, and at the moment, the most obvious impact is that some wealthy women are clamoring to be nurses.

Of course, Wu Changqing didn't care about how their family stopped them, whether they gave in or ran away from home.

He is only responsible for guiding the general direction, and the rest depend on society to evolve on its own.
