When he entered the official hall, he summoned the generals and the head of the sect to introduce them to everyone and gave an overview of the military academy. The content set up and taught is not much different from the military academy in the capital, after all, it all originated from the training in Suizhou, and everything changes without a trace. Compared with the military academy in Beijing, the military academy in Hequ Road is more rigorous, but the management is much more relaxed. The most obvious difference is that there is no corporal punishment in the military school here on Hequ Road, and all the flogging canes have been abolished, not to mention the extreme punishment of beheading, which was common in the army in the past. The Beijing Military Academy is different, the system comes from Suizhou training, but the discipline comes from the Sanya Forbidden Army, which is extremely strict. The punishment for violating discipline starts with a military stick and ends with beheading.

Because it is not conducive to the party's war, the military regulations of ten kills and seventeen kills can be determined, and the style of the army can be imagined. In military theory, whether civilian or military attachés, they are afraid of war at the front line, do not listen to military orders, never ask why, and come up with how to punish and intimidate. The difference was so striking that everyone noticed it, and no one asked. Whether this distinction is useful or not is up to them to feel it for themselves.

When the river meandered and a large number of generals and soldiers were transferred, the court officials noticed this difference. There is only one kind of corporal punishment in the Hequ Road Army, which is beheading. There are very few offences that apply, most of them are wartime, disobedience to orders on the battlefield, running away or fleeing from the enemy, and so on. The crimes that would normally be sentenced to beheading are nothing more than murder, rape, and plundering people's property, but the crimes in the forbidden army at this time are not serious.

Di Qing defeated Nong Zhigao in the battle of Quy Nhinpu, due to the accidental death of the general Sun Jie, the soldiers were panicked, Jia Kui violated Di Qing's pre-war military orders and led his troops to attack without authorization. Jia Kui's attack quickly stabilized the morale of the Song army and brought a decisive victory. After the war, Di Qing not only did not cure Jia Kui for disobeying military orders, but praised him a lot, and one of the rewards was to let him receive Nong Zhigao's treasures. This is the inheritance of five generations to the army, and the generals and soldiers can enrich their own pockets after a great victory. Of course, Kui Jie was self-conscious and did not do this, but it was not that he was not allowed to do so in the army.

This is the fundamental difference between military concepts and theories, and many generals are dissatisfied with Du Zhongxiao's Hequlu army. For example, in the first battle of Quy Nhon Pu, when encountering the same thing, the river meandering road is a completely different style of painting. A general of Jia Kui's level, when he was arranged before the war in the Hequ Road Army, he would definitely add a sentence that he had the right to dispose of it on the spot. Without this sentence, there is no battlefield commander, and the commander must have this power. Di Qing's pre-war unwitting bootstrappers, such a military order will not appear in the army of Hequ Road. Military orders are given to subordinates to give combat tasks, not to maintain order on the battlefield, and whether in peacetime or wartime, military order and battlefield discipline are guaranteed by military law. If the death penalty is committed on the battlefield, then it will be beheaded directly, which is also one of the powers of the battlefield commander.

The commander has the right to deal with the situation on the spot, rather than mechanically executing military orders, so in the key position, in addition to the commander, there must be a supervisor sent down by the superior. Temporary changes to the assigned tasks require the consent of the supervising army in principle. If the overseers disagree and disagree with the commander, there are two ways to do it. One is to act according to the commander's opinion, and the supervising army will countersign the military order to oppose it, and each will bear the consequences. There is also a situation where the supervising army believes that it is absolutely necessary to carry out the orders of the higher authorities, but they oppose it and do not countersign the military orders, and directly dismiss the commander from his post and replace him temporarily by other generals in the army.

Whether or not a general can command on the spot is the most important reference in determining whether a general can be promoted. Those who have the courage to deal with the situation on the spot and can respond to the situation on the battlefield will be referred to a higher-level commander at a higher level. Relatively speaking, most of those who did not have this kind of courage and were promoted by virtue of their seniority and military merits were to serve as various deputy positions in the army, and to work as supervisors below during the war.

There will be no contradiction faced by Quy Nhon Pu Jia Kui in the Hequ Road Army, and he has made great contributions, but he has violated the military order. Therefore, in the Hequ Road Army, as long as the military order is violated, it will definitely be investigated. It's just that whether the commander or the supervising army is being investigated, it's hard to say.

Jia Kui violated the military order, and Di Qing's treatment of him after the war showed that Di Qing was an excellent general, and the people at that time and later generations also praised him like this. This is true, but this contradiction shows that there is something wrong with the military system.

When it comes to systems, concepts, and theories, contradictions are not as harmonious as they appear to be. With his military exploits, no one dared to say anything to Du Zhongxiao, and other generals of Hequlu Road may not. A large number of Hequlu generals and non-commissioned officers were transferred back to Beijing, resulting in a large number of conflicts, and on many occasions those who were transferred back preferred not to be officials or to other military affairs. This incident made the emperor and the courtiers extremely angry, and originally transferred them back to disrupt the formation of the Hequlu army, and then gathered together to lead the troops, wouldn't it expand the power of the Hequlu army? In the end, most of the personnel who returned to Beijing on the Hequ Road were arranged to be military academies or to other armies as instructors, and did not hold military power.

This time, the lineup that came to Hequ Road was so large, led by the privy envoy and the privy deputy envoy, and the three generals joined the army, and the reason is here. The soldiers trained by the Beijing Military Academy can fight well, and slowly dilute the soldiers on the meandering road, and everyone is harmonious. However, Zhang Qi hit the big luck and stunned the courtiers and the generals of the capital with a slap, and the matter became serious all of a sudden.

Only the army on Hequ Road is the most capable of fighting, and no one dares to move Du Zhongxiao's position. The more this is the case, the more uneasy the DPRK and China are, and the lessons of the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty are there. The generals are here to learn, and Wang Gongchen, who is a pure civil official, is here to find out the reason. The reason is not clear, the emperor can't sleep, and the ministers of the court and the central government have no way to start.

Du Zhongxiao knows this, but there is no way, who let them not do it, is it their own fault? After the establishment of Hequ Road, Du Zhongxiao rarely interfered in military affairs, deliberately distanced himself from his subordinates, had no personal friends, and tried his best to make an appointment with himself, what else could he do?

Listening to the introduction of the situation, Di Qing said: "Jinglu, if there are generals and soldiers in the military academy who are not disciplined, what should we do?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the regulations of the army, you can do what you want, and everything has rules. ”

Di Qing said: "The sergeants of the army have already practiced standing, arraying, walking, running, etc., and have violated discipline, so let them do more, is it any punishment?" can't be punished severely, the generals and soldiers have no fear, how can they be strict in military discipline! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Taiwei, there is a saying, it is called that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death." Entering the barracks as a soldier and bleeding at any time should not be afraid of death. They are not afraid of death, what kind of fear should they have? The so-called brave are fearless, and the soldiers and generals in the army are all brave, and military discipline is used to scare them, which is completely unreasonable. People are not only afraid, but also ashamed. Soldiers have many qualities and skills, and the only thing that is not allowed is despicable and shameless! No matter how big the ability is, if you commit this article, you can't stay in the army, so you can only leave. In addition to beheading, the most important punishment in military discipline is to make the generals and soldiers repent, not to make them afraid. I'm afraid of a few sticks, how can such a person go into battle to kill the enemy? Therefore, in the army of Hequ Road, there is also here, except for beheading the capital, there is no corporal punishment, and there should not be such a punishment in the army. ”

When Di Qing heard this, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. He was born as a brave general, and he was quickly promoted because of his combat bravery, but he never thought that bravery was just the most basic requirement in the army. He stood out not because of bravery, but because of the victories and military exploits that bravery brings.

Du Zhongxiao's remarks are equivalent to overthrowing the most basic things of the current military system, and he was silent for a while.

The Song army was inherited from five generations, and they regarded it as minions of the regime, demanding that they kill people and set fires. In the tradition of the five dynasties, idle people joined the army, and those who were chaotic by nature joined the army, and they were made to serve the imperial power with strict military discipline. The natural love of killing sung in the Water Margin is a portrayal of the understanding of the army in this era, which is completely different from the military soldiers of later generations.
