Chapter 53: Military Tribunals (II)
In the Chinese tradition, the official who decides the case is a high-ranking being. Therefore, when Wei Ze told everyone that the military court was an institution hired by the Taiping Army to decide cases, this confused the generals.
Although it is not clear what the difference is between the power to decide cases and the body that adjudicates cases, one thing is very clear, and that is that no one wants to raise objections this time.
Lei Hu, who had tried to save Li Guangfei, had the intention of killing Li Guangfei with his own hands at this time, and after Li Guangfei escaped, he actually went to Tianjing City to sue Wei Ze for rebellion, and the result of this behavior was that Li Guangfei must die. This has nothing to do with whether Weeser really rebelled or not. If Wei Ze thought that Lei Hu was behind the instigation of Li Guangfei to Tianjing City to sue Wei Ze for rebellion, Lei Hu jumped into the Yellow River and could not wash it away. At this time, no matter what new system there is, Lei Hu only hopes to solve the matter as much as possible.
And the mood of his personnel may not be more relaxed than that of Lei Hu, and the relationship between everyone and Lei Hu at this time is far from the point of using this matter to step on Lei Hu. And everyone has been under Wei Ze for so long, and when they heard Wei Ze's tone, they didn't want to expand the matter. In addition, everyone felt Weeser's strong determination to establish a military tribunal. At this time, even if it was to avoid touching the mold, no one was willing to do it against Wei Ze.
Weize has always adhered to the tradition of large state-owned enterprises, and he must unify his thinking before doing big things. If it is a war, it still involves everyone's lives, and everyone still has a relatively strong spirit of learning. At this time, everyone is trying to get this unpleasant chapter over, and secondly, they really don't understand what a military tribunal is. As a result, everyone has an attitude of "boss, as long as you can stop mentioning this, what do you say".
This negative attitude made Wei Ze quite helpless, looking at a group of extremely cooperative brothers, he couldn't kick the silent stone three times. In the end, Wei Ze could only pick up the important thing and say, "In the future, you can send those soldiers who break the law to a military court, but you can't intervene in the court." ”
No matter what others think, Lei Hu stood up and said loudly: "I support the opinion of the Chief of the General Staff, this is really not to talk nonsense!" ”
As soon as Lei Hu, a rogue proletarian with broken jars, came out, several people in the General Staff burst into laughter. Lei Hu's face was burning uncomfortably, but at this time he had to stand up and make a statement.
Wei Ze waved his hand to let Lei Hu sit down, and continued: "Since you asked me to set this rule, then I will also explain the rules clearly. This military tribunal is not something they can try as they want, and it must be done in accordance with the code. And who will determine this code? Let's make sure! The truth we agree with is the law, and the truth we don't agree with, even if it is said to be out of the blue, it doesn't count as a fart! ”
"Well said! I'm for it! Wei Changrong immediately got up and shouted, "I thought it would be great to be able to judge the case, but now that I have listened to the words of the chief of the general staff, I can be regarded as transparent!" They can do what we ask them to do. It's not like we'll listen to what they do! ”
Everyone was not interested in this matter at all, purely to quickly fool the past of this. And after listening to Wei Ze's words, the brothers felt that they really didn't suffer a loss, and seeing that Wei Ze was not angry, they gradually became interested.
Seeing that the tension had eased, Wei Ze said to everyone: "It's not that no one cares about these cases, if they dare to bend the law for bribes, accept bribes, and don't enforce the law impartially, everyone can come to my side to complain about them, if it is found out that the matter is true, then they will be killed!" Don't worry, you can boldly come to me in the future to report these guys from the court-martial. We pay for this group of guys from the military court, and they still want to be uncles. That can only say that they are just like this Li Guangfei! ”
As soon as Lei Hu heard Li Guangfei's three words, he immediately lowered his head. The other brothers laughed. However, Weeser interrupted the brothers' laughter again, "But I have to make it clear that we have set up military courts to enforce the law impartially, not to let you use military courts to do whatever you want. If you let me hear what you've done here, don't say you're welcome! ”
"This is natural! This is natural! Wei Changrong took the lead. As long as the military tribunal was not able to bully Wei Changrong, he was quite supportive.
After talking about the general significance of the military court, Weeser felt that he had reached a consensus from the upper echelons on this matter. And he let it go. Weeser knew that the generals did not understand the meaning of the military tribunal at all, and they could not understand for the time being how this modern institution would have a subversive effect on the military system of the feudal era. However, Weeser was too lazy to educate the generals in advance. He said: "I will handle this matter, and there is another matter, we should hurry up the rest and training of the troops, and the war will be fought soon." ”
At the mention of war, the generals immediately became excited. Like Weese, there is nothing better than war now. In terms of war, everyone also has plenty of self-confidence. Lei Hu immediately said: "Chief of the General Staff, please make me the vanguard." ”
Lei Hu's impatient attitude led to a burst of good-natured laughter.
Wei Ze waved his hand, and the conference room immediately fell silent, "The Jiangnan Jiangbei camp of the Qing Demon has been besieging Tianjing City for more than a year, and our goal in the next half a year is to level the Jiangbei camp." My idea is this, according to the path of Anhui, first expand the territory to the east, and pay taxes everywhere. The camp in Jiangbei relies on the canal to transport grain and grass, and as soon as the canal is cut off, the Qing demon will jump out and fight us. What do you think? ”
When it came to logistics, Lin Asheng reacted extremely quickly, and he immediately put forward his opinion, "We don't have enough soldiers. This time, the three prime ministers took 30,000 soldiers from us. Although we picked these soldiers and leftovers, the elite remained in our own troops. However, these troops can always be stationed in the local area on weekdays, and if our main force goes out to fight, it will be difficult for the troops in various places. The three prime ministers don't know if they can be relied on. ”
"Here, give everyone the map!" Wei Ze ordered. The staff officer quickly rushed up and put a few maps of the area between central Anhui and the Grand Canal on the table.
Wei Ze said: "Now the troops that our army can really afford are only 20,000 people, 15,000 infantry, and 5,000 cavalry. At present, most of the 60,000 people we have are still replenishing troops. Whether it's the parts of the guns, the gunpowder, or the artillery, until we can completely build our own kind of army, we will at most maintain an army of this size. Therefore, there are 30,000 people missing from 60,000 people, which has little impact on us. During the time that the three prime ministers were stationed in Anhui, I ordered them to help in the war, and they should be willing. Everyone also knows that if they are only allowed to defend the city and confront the Qing army. They should be able to do a good job. ”
"Chief of the General Staff, you've always looked up to friendly forces like this!" Lin Asheng replied with deep feelings, and this sentence caused a laugh. In everyone's opinion, Weese never expected the allies to really help, so the allies never let Weser down.
Wei Ze hurriedly waved his hand, "If our friendly army is a Qing demon, let them defend the city and let them confront the enemy, can we rest assured?" We've fought so many battles with the Qing Demon, and I'm definitely not at ease with the appearance of the Qing Demon we've seen. Leading troops to hold their positions on the battlefield also requires kung fu. ”
This is also true, although it did not improve the generals' recognition of the friendly forces, but at least everyone could not laugh at the friendly forces. Compared with the Qing army, the Taiping army is really a very reliable comrade-in-arms.
While everyone was laughing, Wei Changrong kept looking at the map. At this time, he said: "Chief of the General Staff, going east to cut off the canal may not be able to mobilize the Qing Demon to the north. If you really want to kill the Qing demon, why don't I send troops to take Yangzhou directly. As far as our army's artillery and current equipment are concerned, the Qing Demon should be easy to defeat. ”
Weeser replied, "I don't think so. It's already May, and if we set off to fight the Jiangbei camp now and relieve the siege of Yangzhou, we may not be able to do it before September. Even if it is done, it will definitely not be possible to pay taxes on a larger territory. But if we expand our territory to the east at this time, the worst situation is that we can't defeat Jiangbei and can't collect taxes. But there is a high possibility that in addition to collecting taxes, we can also kill tens of thousands of Qing troops in the north. Do you think that of these two possibilities, which situation is more likely to arise? ”
The Qing army's Jiangbei camp is in the southeast of central Anhui, hundreds of miles away from Luzhou. If you want to cut off the canal, you only need to hit it directly to the east, which is much closer to Luzhou.
The generals trusted Wei Ze's judgment on the form, and after having a map, at least a look at the map, the general situation could be figured out. Nguyen Hee Ho, chief of staff in charge of operations, asked: "Can we also make full use of the forces of the three prime ministers who are being reorganized?" ”
Wei Ze smiled: "That's right, I do have this plan. They can't be allowed to eat and drink for nothing here, and they can't be less than the work they should do! ”
After listening, everyone looked at the map again, Chuzhou, Dingyuan, and Wuhe, although these three places are not areas where the fighting is fierce, but if the several strategic points that Wei Ze is defending have a battle, these three areas can effectively support several strategic points. If Wei Ze sends troops to the east, these three regions can also send troops to defend Anhui. There is indeed a tendency to harness its power.
"Let's first capture Xuyi, the state city of Sizhou, Jiangsu, and see how the Qing Demon reacts. Based on their reactions, let's respond too! Wei Ze ordered.
"Who's the vanguard?" Lei Hu asked.
"Oh, don't talk about who's in the vanguard. Lei Hu, you should first be the president of this military court. Deal with Li Guangfei's case. After saying that, Wei Ze looked at Lei Hu's shocked cousin on his face. He smiled: "It's like opening a shop, since there is no way to find the shopkeeper immediately, then our own brother has to come out first to act as the shopkeeper." You say, don't you? ”
"......, yes!" Lei Hu finally replied embarrassedly.
"Well, let's establish a law now, steal the map without permission, give it to outsiders, and the death penalty! What do you think? Wei Ze turned to the brothers and said.
"It's all up to the Chief of the General Staff!" Wei Changrong took the lead and said.
"Okay, let's judge Li Guangfei according to the law!" Weeser made a substantive verdict.
