Stimulated by alcohol, all the protons who had been given new names went into a state of madness of elation. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Ping specially instructed Chong Shiheng to pay special attention at this time, so that everyone should abide by the rules. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is not difficult to relax at the beginning, and it is necessary to make the sense of discipline an instinct of these people. Only after surviving the first painful days, can they have the capital to indulge in the future, and now no matter what they do, what emotions they have, they can't let themselves be.
After going around the camp, Xu Ping asked Chong Shiheng and Zhang Zai to stay here, and he and Li Zhang went to the nearby military camp of Gao Daquan. After arriving in Qinzhou, Gao Daquan's Guiming Shenwu Army was stationed in Qingshui County and Longcheng County, connecting Fengxiang Mansion, Longzhou and Weizhou to protect Qinzhou's back road. Sangyi's Xuanwei Army was stationed in Qinzhou to the west and north of Chengji County, west to Ningyuan Village, and north to Anyuan Village, mainly monitoring the raw and ripe crops around Qinzhou. The original garrison forbidden army in Qinzhou was all under the jurisdiction of two people, and the army under the administration of Qinzhou Prefecture was mainly the Xiang army, as well as a part of the infantry army of the Fan soldiers.
Jingtai was changed from the original Xuanwei Army to the deputy commander of the Ming Shenwu Army. This is the principle that Xu Ping has always adhered to, and both the army and the local government use the two-chief system. It turned out that the system of the forbidden army was too rigid, and once there were many politicians, there would be chaos, so the generals in the border areas always emphasized that they would be autocratic.
The military structure of the new army should be reformed and supplemented into command, training, organizational, political, logistical, and other functional organs, and it will be inconvenient for the commanders to exercise their authority. In the past, when he was in the capital, Xu Ping wanted to change the military system of the Xuanwei Army, which aroused the opposition of the generals of the forbidden army, but now that he has arrived at Qinfeng Road, there is finally no one to make a noise, of course, he must start very early.
According to Xu Ping's idea, in the first few months, the forbidden army in Qinzhou should be rectified and reorganized into two combat groups with the Xuanwei Army and the Guiming Shenwu Army as the core, mainly responsible for the offensive and the mobile force of Qin Fenglu. The Xiang and Fan armies were regrouped and combined with the local authorities, mainly for defense. The entire policy of Qin Fenglu has also focused on keeping things done in the past few months, not making big changes, striving to be quiet, and stabilizing the hearts of the people around him first.
Gao Daquan and Jingtai got the news, and waited in Yuanmen early to welcome Xu Ping and his party into the barracks.
As soon as I entered the barracks, I felt a state of heat, which was completely different from the scene just now. This is the permanent camp of the Guiming Shenwu Army in Qinzhou, and they are also building houses, but their progress is much faster. The two armies on the central avenue of the barracks erected a number of new wooden signs, on which were written slogans such as "Be organized, disciplined, and obey the command of the imperial court."
Xu Ping couldn't help but smile when he saw it, this is what he asked Tian Guo and Liu San to change, the soil is indeed some soil, but it is really useful for the army. Along with these slogans being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the new military system is being rectified and reformed in an orderly manner. Officers and non-commissioned officers in the army trained and built houses during the day, and learned to read and write at night. Discipline in the military is no longer guaranteed by harsh punishments, but is mainly based on understanding by officers and soldiers, supplemented by punishments. Xu Ping demanded that officers and soldiers who make mistakes should first feel ashamed from the depths of their hearts, and then be punished according to military law, not fear of military law.
People are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? What the army wants is soldiers who dare to fight and rush without fear of death, and if these people are to obey the rules, they are restrained by cruel punishments that they want to fight and kill at every turn, it is already a conflict with itself. The first is to let the soldiers know what to do and what not to do, to be proud of what is right and ashamed of what is wrong, and that is the army that is really for fighting.
Military law is only an auxiliary to the organizational discipline of the army, and organizational discipline cannot be maintained by relying on military law, but should be required to be consciously observed by officers and men in the army. On this basis, strict military law can guarantee iron discipline. If the time comes when basic discipline can only be guaranteed by relying on harsh punishments, then there is no way to talk about military discipline.
Gao Daquan followed behind Xu Ping, not surprised by all this. He has been by Xu Ping's side for more than ten years, and he has long been accustomed to this practice. Jingtai was a little uncomfortable, in his eyes, this Guiming Shenwu army always looked weird, many of them were like a box army, but the strict discipline was better than the forbidden army, and there was always a weird taste.
When he arrived at the handsome tent, Xu Ping'an sat in the handsome position, and Gao Daquan led his generals to sing a promise. After the order, Xu Ping asked the generals to retreat, what should they be busy with and continue to be busy, leaving Gao Daquan and Jingtai behind.
The soldier served tea, several people sat down, Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan: "I've been in Qinzhou for a few days, how do you feel?" ”
Gao Daquan said: "Since I arrived in Qinzhou, I have basically stayed in the barracks, and I haven't even been to Qinzhou City a few times, and I feel that it is not much different from being in the capital." Moreover, there are no other forbidden troops here, no three officials and the Privy Council pointing fingers, but they are more comfortable. Don't hide it, the current life is much better than in Yongzhou. ”
Listening to Gao Daquan's words, everyone couldn't help laughing together. Jingtai said: "Of course, in Yongzhou, the marshal is only a general judgment in one state, and his power is limited. And at that time, the military owner was only a box army, of course, it cannot be compared with now. ”
Gao Daquan shook his head: "Not only that, although I was humble at that time, I was still happy. In particular, there are seven brothers and Huang Jinbiao mixed together, drinking and enjoying every day, which is also a way to live. ”
"Yes, now the identity is different, there are more people under control, and it is inevitable that there will be more worries." Xu Ping also sighed, "Back in Yongzhou, you were not court officials, so you didn't have to bear a heavy burden on your shoulders, so naturally you didn't have to worry about everything." It's different now, you are in charge of thousands of people, you are the general of the front, life is good, and you naturally have more things on your mind. ”
After a few words of gossip, Xu Ping turned the topic to the right thing: "When we arrive in Qinzhou, there are no more constraints, the military system change of the Xuanwei Army in the capital has not been done before, and now we have to pick things up again." The last time they tried martial arts, because Sanya did not have a position to arrange them, most of them went to the forbidden army to be the lowest-level commander, and they were all unhappy. This time I came to the west, I went to the court and asked these people to come over. They marched in formation, counted the days, and it was time for them to come. When these people come, they will all be incorporated into the various capitals in the army, and they will be the deputy heads, and their powers will be similar to Zhou Qing. ”
Gao Daquan and Jingtai agreed together.
Xu Ping said again: "When the ancients talked about soldiers, they often said that military discipline should be strict, and tens of millions of people are like one person. Today's forbidden army, the head of the army, the commander of the army, and the head of the command and management seem to have a distinct hierarchy, but in fact, once the battle is about to be fought, they are often clueless. Of course, there are reasons for the arrangement of the imperial court, the garrison forbidden troops are stationed according to the command, and they hurriedly organize the army to meet the enemy before the battle, and temporarily appoint the main general, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts about what to do. However, if you foresee it, you will do it, and if you don't plan it, you will be wasted, and the root cause is actually that the army is not ready for war. Marching and fighting, there are a thousand things, how can it be that when the commander gives the military order, the subordinate troops will follow the order? You asked him to go up the opposite mountain for half a day, but there was no road at all, what if he had to walk for three or five days? In the event of defeat in this kind of thing, the commander can be inferred that it is the responsibility of the commander-in-chief, but the military order cannot be carried out, so how wronged is the commander-in-chief? The boss ordered that he could not rely on a whim and let his subordinate generals do things, and he had to know how to do it in his heart. If you ask him to march thirty miles in half a day, then how to march, how to rest, how to eat and drink, all aspects must be considered. Manpower is sometimes poor, and to do this, the coach alone cannot do it, so there must be wingmen and staff. This is the case with the Shuaifu, and what about the commanders at all levels below? There is a specialization in the art industry, and each ministry has its own duties, so each level of military commander must have a left and right hand to help do things, so as to be foolproof. The wingmen are reduced layer by layer, and when they reach the team level, they can say no. ”
