Vol 4 Chapter 156: , The rise of military aristocracy

"The World War is over!"&1t;/p>
As soon as this amazing news spread, the whole world caused a sensation. There were countless people celebrating it, and countless popularity jumped. &1t;/p>
Ferdinand does not care about the disturbances from the outside world, it is nothing more than a matter of interest! &1t;/p>
Now he is busy dealing with the aftermath. The world war has been fought for two and a half years, and the number of casualties in Bulgaria as the main participating country is naturally an astronomical figure. &1t;/p>
So far, the total number of casualties in the Bulgarian army is up to 4,868,400, (the number of casualties = the number of casualties + the number of casualties) of which 1,275,200 were killed, 3.5932 million were injured, and (including 885.4 million disabled due to injuries) local civilian casualties 216 people, 1.86 million civilian casualties in the colonies, there is no doubt that this is a masterpiece of the Ottoman Empire. &1t;/p>
The number of casualties in this army is only comparable to that of the Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and German Empire during the World War! &1t;/p>
According to the estimates of the Bulgarian staff, the casualties in various countries are as follows: &1t;/p>
British Empire: About 10,000 people were killed in battle, about 210,000 people were injured, and between 30,000 and 40,000 civilians were killed or injured. Most of them were colonial forces. The British local forces may be less than one-fifth. &1t;/p>
French Republic: About 130 thousand people were killed in battle, about 40 million people were injured, and about 60 thousand civilian casualties. The casualties were about the same as in history, but the proportion of colonial troops increased, and the casualties of local troops were nearly three points less than in history. one. &1t;/p>
Russian Empire: Approximately 20,000 people were killed in battle, approximately 50,000 people were injured, 260,000 to 30,000 civilian casualties, and approximately 440,000 were captured. &1t;/p>
Belgium: Approximately 56,000 killed, approximately 43,000 injured, and 150,000 to 20,000 civilian casualties. &1t;/p>
Japan: Approximately 13,000 people were killed and approximately 30oo people were injured. &1t;/p>
Portugal: Approximately 700 people were killed and approximately 13,000 injured. &1t;/p>
Italy: About 130,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 260,000 people were injured, and 20,000+ civilian casualties were caused by food shortages. &1t;/p>
German Empire: 210,000 killed, 430,000 injured, and 10 million civilian casualties. &1t;/p>
The Austro-Hungarian Empire: about 1.25 million killed, about 3.87 million injured, and more than 80,000 civilian casualties. &1t;/p>
In addition, the kingdoms of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire were naturally ignored by Ferdinand, otherwise their casualties would be an astronomical figure. &1t;/p>
Of course, this figure is shown to the outside world. Except for it at the negotiating table, the Bulgarian government will not recognize it at other times. &1t;/p>
Even for half of the people killed in the battle, the Bulgarian government does not even have to pay pensions. A~Third has no human rights, and John Bull will not stand for them. &1t;/p>
Although mercenaries have to pay pensions, but some of them have no family members, or cannot find family members, naturally they don't need to pay! &1t;/p>
Any family members who are not in Bulgaria are not found. If you want to receive a pension, apply for immigration first! &1t;/p>
Bulgaria's statistics for itself are different. The main force and the mercenary forces are separately counted, and the colonial forces are also counted. &1t;/p>
Main force: 92,700 killed and 328,700 injured; &1t;/p>
Mercenary troops: 314,500 killed and 1,368,100 injured; &1t;/p>
Colonial forces: 436,900 killed and 1,588,400 injured; &1t;/p>
(Note: Injuries can be counted repeatedly) &1t;/p>
The remaining casualties were contributed by the Indian divisions. The war pensions Ferdinand now needs to pay are mainly pensions for the main force, mercenaries, and colonial troops. &1t;/p>
The war is over. The sooner this casualty pension is released, the better. The standard has been formulated long ago, as long as it is implemented. The problem is the geographic location of the military field. &1t;/p>
Now the territory of Bulgaria is so big. From the perspective of national defense and security, it is best for the nobles of military service to be entrusted to the border. Once there is a war in the future, they are the best border guards! &1t;/p>
Ferdinand asked with concern: "Chief of Staff, how many officers and soldiers want to be eligible for military merit awards?"&1t;/p>
Chief of Staff Krisnov thought for a while and replied: "A total of 386,600 people, including 844,100 dead soldiers and 823,600 disabled soldiers who need to pay pensions.&1t;/p>
Among the soldiers killed in battle, we are still not sure how many pensions were unclaimed, so we can only plan all of them!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. The military field system is the guarantee of the Bulgarian army’s combat effectiveness. Naturally, it should not be sloppy. Even if it is just for a show, everyone must be divided up and left unclaimed. When a daughter buys bones! &1t;/p>
"Well, according to the old rules, let the soldiers freely choose whether to receive cash or land. In areas with long distances and poor conditions, the land can be divided a bit more. If the conditions are good, follow the normal procedures!" Ferdinand said again. &1t;/p>
"Yes!" Chief of Staff Krisnov replied&1t;/p>
Ferdinand continued to ask: "Sang, does the cabinet have any requirements?"&1t;/p>
Prime Minister Constantine thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Cabinet recommends that this secession should be tilted towards Asia Minor as much as possible, including Syria and Palestine, which are the focus of our post-war operations.&1t;/p>
However, the population of these areas is too small, and there will be a large number of immigrants in the future. Now we must insert some of our own people in to strengthen our control of the place!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Chief of Staff Krisnov said with a smile: "You have to worry too much. There are so many soldiers who are eligible to receive military merits this time. Our homeland alone cannot be settled!"&1t;/p>
Constantine was very surprised and asked: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, how much land do we need to pay for this time based on your current military exploits?"&1t;/p>
You must know that the land area of ​​Bulgaria has doubled this time, and there are tens of millions of hectares of newly-added cultivated land. He actually said that he could not settle down! &1t;/p>
Krisnov proudly said: "Your Excellency, this world war has been going on for more than two years, and the Bulgarian army has also experienced many battles.&1t;/p>
In Asia we wiped out the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans we defeated the kingdoms of Romania and Montenegro, in Southern Europe we defeated the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the Mediterranean we defeated Italy, in Central Europe we occupied a third and the German Empire! &1t;/p>
After two and a half years of conquests, our soldiers have naturally accumulated a lot of military merit. Therefore, in theory, the maximum total land area that can be exchanged this time is about 10,000 hectares!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Not only was he squeezed, even Ferdinand was also squeezed. This is equivalent to the cultivated area of ​​Asia Minor Peninsula, or two Romanian cultivated areas. Fortunately, the income this time is large enough. Otherwise, he will now worry about the premature collapse of the Bulgarian military field system! &1t;/p>
No way, the land reward standard in Europe must be high, otherwise people will not look at it. Now the annual income of one hectare of land in Bulgaria is almost the same as the income of a worker. Of course, farming in this era is definitely more comfortable than working. . &1t;/p>
Therefore, the pension standard he set starts at two hectares, which is to let people see that fighting is better than work. Even if you die on the battlefield, your family's income will increase in the future! &1t;/p>
At the end of this astronomical figure, Ferdinand is not surprised, besides soldiers, there are officers? &1t;/p>
In theory, as long as the land reward accumulates to 15o hectares, you can get the title of knight. When you reach 100 hectares, you will be a baron, 8oo hectares will be a viscount, 50,000 hectares will be an earl, 30,000 hectares will be a marquis, and 10,000 hectares will be a duke! &1t;/p>
These are clearly marked, and as long as you have achieved military merit, you will be knighted. Even if you are just an ordinary soldier, you can still become a nobleman. &1t;/p>
As a country with a military merit granting system as its core, everything naturally follows military merit. Moreover, the fiefdom nobles in Europe can be hereditary, and theoretically they will not be abolished! &1t;/p>
And all the military aristocrats in Bulgaria are all sealed, without any moisture! &1t;/p>
With the current situation, I am afraid that it will have to do with many officers and soldiers in the army. Before, they felt that their military service was not enough and did not exchange their land. Now everyone has finished watching the war and has to exchange it all at once! &1t;/p>
Of course, it is not ruled out that it was inherited from the father's generation. There are always a few people who have gained military merits before they are idle. They look down on a few hectares of land, so they keep it, and when the number is too large, they will exchange it all at once! &1t;/p>
After all, the place where the military merits are given is different each time. Even if [31 Novel Network] can apply for government redemption, it will be troublesome enough, and it is also impossible to guarantee that your land can be connected to one piece! &1t;/p>
Of course, if the accumulation is not enough, Ferdinand can also be awarded the title in advance, but this is all a lord, not hereditary! &1t;/p>
For example: your military service is only enough to become an earl, and then the king is bestowed the duke, you can enjoy the treatment of the duke, but your offspring can still inherit only the earl! &1t;/p>
In order to ensure that the descendants of the nobles are not raised and abolished, Ferdinand also formulated a very strict inheritance system. It is inevitable to join the army and enlist in the army. At the same time, there are a lot of personal ability and moral training tests. If you fail to pass, you cannot inherit the title. &1t;/p>
Coupled with the European eldest son inheritance system, once the eldest son is abandoned, wait for the eldest grandson. Don’t worry, the land will not be recovered anyway, but the noble status will not be given to you! &1t;/p>
This is the only way Ferdinand can ensure that the Bulgarian aristocracy is not infamous. As long as you dare to behave, then you are not a noble, and it is not caused by the noble. Naturally, you can't let the noble class take care of you! &1t;/p>
Anyway, it is better to let the people scold the prodigal son than to let them scold the entire aristocratic class! &1t;/p>
This was the limit that people could accept at that time. As for the abolition of the title of nobility, unless it was the crime of treason and conspiracy, other charges could kill him, and could not deprive others of their noble status. &1t;/p>
Although Ferdinand’s inheritance system is stricter, don’t all the titles of the nobility remain? Even if the son is not good, don’t he still have grandsons? Anyway, the meat is still in the pot, and no one thinks that his offspring are waste snacks! &1t;/p>
Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "This is also a good thing! Our army performed well this time, and so many people have won awards.&1t;/p>
In addition to their family members, at least tens of millions of people, it seems that we are going to open Asia Minor peninsula, half of the problem has been solved!
&Amp;1t;/p>
Although the heart is bleeding, these lands are all money! But Ferdinand still said very proudly, this is a good thing, you don't have to worry about it, and deliberately opened the Asia Minor Peninsula to talk about it! &1t;/p>
There is no doubt that his words will be spread to the soldiers soon, which is equivalent to telling them, rest assured that there will be no less rewards, and the great Ferdinand has affirmed your credit! &1t;/p>
As for the tens of millions of people behind, don't worry too much about this. Most of them are hired family members. I am afraid there are not many local troops who have to relocate with their families. &1t;/p>
After all, the West is different from the East. As long as the life goes on, parents seldom go to their children. If parents do not come, brothers and sisters will be even more embarrassed to come! &1t;/p>
This is not the same as in previous years. At that time, everyone's living standards were not very good. It takes a group to live better. Naturally, everyone is dragging their families away. &1t;/p>
Now, as soon as these soldiers retire and come back to get married, they should go out and stand on their own. This is also a European cultural tradition! &1t;/p>
And these Russian mercenaries are currently fighting a civil war in the country, and the people’s life is not easy. Many people find it difficult to survive, and there is no way to go to relatives and friends. &1t;/p>
In fact, not many of him have come to Bulgaria long ago. As a military member, even though he is only a mercenary member, Ferdinand still did not treat them as refugees. The government still gave them priority in resettlement, which is regarded as immigrants. &1t;/p>
Well, now there is only one standard for distinguishing refugees from immigrants in Bulgaria, that is, it depends on whether government assistance is needed. As long as you can survive without government assistance, that is immigrants. On the contrary, those who receive relief food are refugees! &1t;/p>
Chief of Staff Chrisnov thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, can the naturalization of these mercenaries be resolved? There is also the colonial army. Most of them are also interested in Bulgaria. Can they be granted citizenship?
&Amp;1t;/p>
Facing Bulgaria? Forget it, I guess it's the interest. It turns out that they are a bitter in the country. Now suddenly there is an extra piece of land as a reward. Can they not like it? &1t;/p>
Regarding the Bulgarian military award system, most of them may not have regarded it as the same thing before and did not think it would be honored at all, but now they are suddenly told that they are ready to receive land, can they not support it? &1t;/p>
It is also inevitable to join Bulgarian citizenship, otherwise they will not be able to enjoy the tax reduction policy of the military field. In the face of tangible benefits, any country or nation is imaginary, and only the land that is about to be acquired is real! &1t;/p>
Of course, 80% of them may not be able to distinguish the relationship between ethnic groups. The Bulgarian army never tells them which ethnic group they belong to. At most, they use the theory of ethnic origin as a teaching material. &1t;/p>
At this time, they must all be members of Bulgaria. Didn’t they say about the origin of the nation? Using textbooks as evidence, an officer was found requesting naturalization, and it was communicated all the way. &1t;/p>
Feidi thought for a while and said: "Yes, all soldiers who have made military merits can join Bulgaria as long as they identify with Bulgaria and are willing to join the big family. If their families have no ideological and moral problems, they can also join Bulgaria. !"&Amp;1t;/p>
In the end, Ferdinand decided to treat everyone equally. In any case, they were already trapped with Bulgaria in terms of interests. Even if it was for their own interests, they must also support Bulgarian rule. &1t;/p>
As for the national culture, those who can demand Bulgaria with the theory of national origin will not be fanatical national elements, a group of illiterate illiterates who do not know a large number of characters, UU reading www.uukanshu. com don't expect how much culture they have! &1t;/p>
Maybe now they can read, and the army still teaches simple Bulgarian script, but this has nothing to do with their national culture, right? &1t;/p>
It is no longer a problem to assimilate these people. The main reason is that the Ottoman Empire has helped a lot. Without their suddenness, these people would not have identified with Bulgaria so quickly! &1t;/p>
Constantine hesitated to say something and stopped. It is conceivable that once this military award is completed, Bulgaria will become the world of military aristocrats. This is the general trend, and no one can stop it. &1t;/p>
Similarly, in this context, Bulgaria’s military distinction will reach its peak, and it will not change in the next few decades. &1t;/p>
As the boss of a civil servant, he naturally didn't want this to happen, but Constantine didn't have the idea of ​​being a car, after all, he was also one of the beneficiaries. &1t;/p>
Even if there is trouble, it is also the trouble for the latecomers. His deterrent power as a "iron-blooded prime minister" is still very strong. At least his current government can suppress these arrogant soldiers. &1t;/p>
How could Ferdinand not consider these issues? &1t;/p>
However, the military aristocracy is his loyal supporter of the king, and the growth of this class can just check and balance the civilian clique, and at the same time suppress the rising bourgeoisie! &1t;/p>
Compared with maintaining the rule by himself, the rights of the civil servants are squeezed, and Ferdinand doesn't bother to control it! &1t;/p>
