Han Khan

Chapter 41: The Emergence of Class
After returning to the big tent, Zhang Sheng smiled slightly as he looked at the three sleeping women.

Then he fell into deep thought with a simple quill pen, and then wrote and drew on paper. He was sorting out his thoughts and the current arrangements and plans for the Jinhan tribe.

“The Royal Guards will become the core force of the entire Jinhan army in the future, and they will play a vital role in future wars.

Whenever we encounter a crucial battle, this elite division will be led by me personally and deployed to the most critical battlefield to play a decisive role.

In peacetime, the Imperial Guards are responsible for protecting my safety. They are responsible for the daily guard work in my tent and need to follow me closely at all times. In addition, with their outstanding talents, members of the Imperial Guards have the opportunity to serve as Zhang Sheng's secretary or staff. "

“So I have to improve their status and treatment!

More importantly, having such a powerful direct force can effectively maintain my ruling position in the Jinhan tribe.

With such a powerful military force in hand, I am fully capable of checking and balancing any of the centurions and tribes I appoint.

Whether now or in the future, the centurion system and the guard system will ensure the absolute loyalty of the Jinhan army to me.

The orders I give must be able to be transmitted to every corner of the army without any hindrance and be implemented 100%.

The original Jinhan tribe was a tribe that conquered many small Uighur and Tibetan tribes. Now, because I have divided it into 100 households and established the 100-household system, it has been completely transformed into a highly unified and powerful organization."

Looking up at the moon and the blue sky outside the tent, my heart is filled with infinite pride.

“The Jinhan tribe that I control now can be called the Jinhan Army or the Holy Army.

The construction of the priest system, the hundred-household system, and the guard system is sufficient to provide strong support for the construction and implementation of the basic systems of the Jinhan tribe, and also lay a solid foundation for a day in the future. Forget it, let's go to sleep!"

……

Zhang Sheng attaches great importance to obeying orders and the punishment for disobeying orders is very severe.

The commanders of each century and guard were required to act strictly in accordance with the pre-arranged action plan.

If an army failed to show up at the designated time and place, the centurion would be punished immediately, no matter what excuses he made.

For those soldiers and commanders who violated orders, no matter how far they were from Zhang Sheng’s camp or how many troops he controlled, Zhang Sheng only needed to send one person to announce the punishment order. If he wanted their hands, they would automatically chop off their hands, and if he wanted their heads, they would offer their heads without any complaints.

If one of the soldiers of a group of ten households abandoned his injured comrade during a battle, the other nine would be put to death without mercy. This shows how strict Zhang Sheng was in treating military orders.

But it was precisely because of such strict military orders that the Jinhan army had efficient discipline and a fearless combat state.

In fact, not only the Tang people were excellent fighters, but all nomadic tribes and clans also had excellent and brave fighters. What they lacked was organizational discipline and the habit of coordinated actions. Once these people were effectively organized, they would inevitably burst out with terrible energy.

Now Zhang Sheng is reorganizing these people into a mixed unit using the system of one hundred households, and incorporating the elite into the central army guards, thus forming an efficient and complete organizational management system.

In the future, when we defeat other tribes, we can break up the surrendered tribesmen and reorganize them into various hundred households.

Among them, those soldiers who made meritorious contributions were promoted to the Guards and became his Guards.

At the same time, he also thought that it was necessary to require both the centurions and the guards to abide by a strict hierarchy.

The people of the tribe obeyed the head of ten households, the head of ten households obeyed the head of a hundred households, and the head of a hundred households obeyed Zhang Sheng.

The guards obey their squad leader, the squad leader obeys the captain, and so on, and finally to Yin Shanxiong and other four guard commanders. They are the pillars of Zhang Sheng's management of the guards.

At the same time, the status of the royal guards must be definitely higher than those who serve as heads of ten households or hundreds of households, so that the elite soldiers will be willing to serve as royal guards.

This hierarchy is very strict in the Imperial Guards and everyone must abide by it. Therefore, the Imperial Guards are usually treated with special respect, and the centurions need to be cautious and respectful at all times so as not to offend the Imperial Guards.

Although such regulations seem unfair, they are actually intended to maintain the discipline and order of the Guards and ensure their efficient operation.

Only through clear hierarchical divisions and a strict system of accountability can the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the Guards be guaranteed.

In this world full of struggles and conflicts of interest, everyone must find their place and try to adapt to this cruel reality. Speaking of this cruel hierarchy, what level do ordinary tribesmen belong to in the Jinhan tribe? And what level do those tribesmen who were not recruited as soldiers after being conquered belong to?

Let’s talk in detail about the current personal rank divisions in the Jinhan tribe!

In the Jinhan tribe, the honorable tribal leader Zhang Sheng is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence. He is not only the leader of the tribe, but also the first priest and absolute leader of the Holy Church.

In the mouths of priests and those with the title of holy warriors, he is honored as the "Son of Heaven" and possesses supreme power. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Jinhan army and a highly centralized leader who integrates the three powers of military, politics and religion.

However, Zhang Sheng's position was not isolated. Under him, there was a cardinal who was responsible for assisting him in managing the affairs of the Holy Church and leading everyone in devout prayers.

In addition, there were two high priests who were responsible for finance and justice respectively, and they assisted Zhang Sheng to ensure the smooth progress of religious ceremonies.

In addition to the positions in the Holy Church, the Jinhan tribe also has centurions and ten-household chiefs. They are responsible for managing the daily lives of the tribe members, organizing production labor, and maintaining social order. Together with Zhang Sheng, they constitute the management of the tribe.

Finally, there are the four commanders of the Imperial Guards. They are the commanders of this elite force and directly obey Zhang Sheng. They lead the Imperial Guards to take on the important task of guarding Zhang Sheng and guarding his tent. On the battlefield, they are Zhang Sheng's confidants, following him to charge and fight to defend the Jinhan tribe.

Zhang Sheng and his team formed the ruling class of the Jinhan tribe, and each performed their duties and worked closely together. Only in this way could the Jinhan tribe develop steadily and grow stronger in a complex and changing environment.

They certainly did not need to engage in any productive labor, but instead specialized in war and looting, prayer, the spiritual and cultural construction of the Jinhan tribe, and were rulers who specialized in ruling the people of their own tribe.

In addition, there are a large number of producers. They are the people who make up the Jinhan tribe. They were originally slaves and subjects of Zhang Sheng.

Now they have been distributed among the hundred households and managed by the hundred-household heads and ten-household heads appointed by him. The civilians are engaged in production labor such as grazing, hunting, milking, shearing, tanning leather, making arrows and bows and swords, forging armor and weapons, etc.

Soldiers without positions are also civilians, but they can gain wealth and opportunities for promotion based on their merits. However, when going to war, soldiers participating in the battle must provide their own horses, weapons, and rations.

Anyway, the manpower, material and financial resources are all borne by the civilians themselves.

If you disagree, the Tenth Household Head will rob you and harm you and your family. If the Tenth Household Head or the Hundredth Household Head refuses to do anything, then it's easy. Just replace him with someone who obeys.

They will all be the targets of future taxation and military service by the Jinhan tribe.

In the end, they had nothing and could not even own their own slaves. They were called the Black Bones by their fellow tribesmen.

In the previous few days, a large number of people were captured during the attack and conquest of the Kucha Uighurs.

In addition to the tribesmen who were reorganized into centurions in various places, some of them were assigned to the priests guarding the camps, the centurions, captains, squad leaders and ordinary soldiers who had made contributions in the battle as household slaves and property.

They worked for their masters, such as herding, mowing grass, sewing clothes, milking cows, etc.

In the future of the Jinhan tribe, the number of slaves will certainly increase day by day. However, I need to let those who own slaves allow the slaves to marry and allow the male slaves to participate in the battle. If they die in the battle, it's fine. If they survive, they and their families will be given a promotion in status.

Otherwise, once the slaves escape, not only will there be a loss of manpower, but there will also be the worry of slave rebellion, which is truly not worth the loss.

Zhang Sheng rested his hands on his head, looked up at the top of the tent, but was still thinking about how to make his tribe better.

Then he sighed: What a sinful world! But even in the future, humans still live like this, so let's be more positive!

In a system like Jinhan, which is full of class differences and inequality, everyone's identity and status seem to be strictly divided, and their destiny is greatly affected by this.

Perhaps only by deeply exploring the rules and logic therein can one truly understand the far-reaching impact this hierarchy will have on the Jinhan tribe. However, Zhang Sheng was now extremely sleepy. He took his hands off his pillow, squeezed in between the three women, hugged them for a while, and fell asleep.

May tomorrow still be sunny, and may His Majesty the Heaven bless my career.
