"Today, the palace is ready to be reorganized, but this king is young, and everything in the future needs to rely on you. But the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, since you want to serve the house, you also need to follow some rules, if you feel that you can't tolerate it, you can leave, this king will not be reluctant. "In the middle of the hall, there are people with heads and faces in the palace of the king of Wei, please look at the people in the hall and say.

"What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, it is difficult to make a circle without rules, and the lower officials should abide by it." As soon as the prince's voice fell, Cai Wanyi immediately got up and saluted, but seeing the seriousness of His Royal Highness, he was a little bottomless in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what kind of moth this kid had made, and everyone felt that it should be so, and no one objected.

"Okay, let's read it!" Zhao Yu nodded, and at the same time motioned for Wang De to read out.

"Ahem!" Wang De raised his voice lightly, raised his eyes and saw that everyone was respectful and focused, and he was in a trance, as if the person in front of him was already a ninety-five body, and all the ministers below him were bowing down, and he was already the first person beside His Majesty, "First, respect the class and obey the order; 2. Do not plunder or disturb the people; 3. Joining the army voluntarily and not tattooing; Fourth, it is forbidden to match the subject and be fair; 5. Prohibition of military debts, private service sergeants; 6. Prohibition of lynching, clear rewards and punishments; 7. Prohibition of private possession and prohibition of theft; 8. It is forbidden to defecate anywhere and prevent diseases. This is an iron law in my house, but if it is violated, it will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. ”

Zhao Yu looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and their faces changed from relaxed to surprised and solemn as the law was announced, so that they had not yet reacted after the reading was completed, and there was no noise in the hall except for the slightly heavy breathing of everyone, and they obviously had not reacted yet. And his sudden declaration of discipline before the appointment was by no means a whim, it was deliberate and thoughtful.

In the experience of his previous life, Zhao Yu knew that any political party or group would have its own program and purpose, but he was now the first to save his life, and now that it was the ancient times when the imperial power was supreme, it was not his turn to put forward his own political program, otherwise what was waiting for him would be the crime of 'rebellion'. But he also knows the current situation in the house, gathered around him is a group of rabble, birds and beasts may scatter at any time, if you want to keep them, in addition to the interests of the court, you must also have discipline to achieve the goal of making them not want to leave and dare not go.

Now the announcement of discipline first also means that there are ugly words in the front, telling them that I am very reasonable, and that I will follow me voluntarily and will not be forced. But if you choose to stay, you have to abide by my rules, and if you break it, you can't blame me, you have to follow the rules. And in this way, you can also eliminate a group of people who are not determined to want to play soy sauce in the palace, which is not a bad thing for yourself, everyone is good to say and scatter without hurting their faces, and it is not ugly to see you in the future.

As for these eight disciplines, Zhao Yu learned from the experience of successful people in his previous life, and also out of consideration for the specific situation of the current era, there are several prohibitions that are aimed at the current evils, as long as his grass-roots army can survive in this troubled world, and of course he can save his own life.

But some people will think that you, a person from a modern civilized society, should lead the ancient people to get rid of ignorance, eliminate classes, and establish a democratic and equal society, how can you ********** and strengthen class differentiation? Zhao Yu also thought about this problem, but he felt that he couldn't do it with his current self, especially in a feudal society with strict hierarchies, paying attention to the level of birth, and science prevailing. And class has not really disappeared even in a highly democratic modern society.

In fact, the class nature in the army is stronger, and in modern times, it is just called "emphasizing the concept of superiors and subordinates", otherwise everyone is equal, and who will listen to whom in the war! If you don't talk about class and blood, who will pee on him, this little child, only in this way can you consolidate your precarious position, which is conducive to future rule, strengthen your control over the imperial court, and make your ideas become reality step by step.

But Zhao Yu is not without a little consideration for everyone, at least he canceled the tattoo tattoo on the soldier. One of the major characteristics of recruiting soldiers in the Song Dynasty was to tattoo characters on the faces and hands of soldiers, so recruiting soldiers was often called "recruiting soldiers". At that time, only certain criminals, government craftsmen, and slaves were treated in this way, which was undoubtedly a sign of shame. Isn't it also a kind of progress for him to do this, and it also improves their status in disguise. In addition, Zhao Yu also knew that these few articles alone could not change the status quo, but he also wanted to try to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings in the army and establish an iron army.

The Great Song Dynasty is known as the richest dynasty in history, but the country is rich and the army is weak but it is criticized by later generations, and some people attribute this to the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin brothers, who emphasized literature and light martial arts; Some people also think that the Song lost the land where they raised horses and failed to build a strong cavalry; Some people even think that the Song Dynasty is in the land of four wars, and has lost the defense line of the Great Wall, so that there is no danger to defend; Some people think that Song was born at an inopportune time, and since its establishment, it has faced the invasion of powerful Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, Mongol and other nomadic peoples, and has finally been exhausted by repeated wars.

Zhao Hao thinks that these views are reasonable, but he thinks that the problems of the Great Song army, as the country's cadres, are equally serious, and that top-down corruption and failure of military discipline have degenerated this army that was once able to fight well, and even if there were short-lived glories in it, it was not able to make fundamental changes in the end.

Song Taizu claimed that the law enforcement was still strict, and he would never tolerate and accommodate, he said: "I am raising soldiers today, and I will not hesitate to reward them, if I violate my law, I will only have sword ears!" In fact, he was strict in enforcing the law, limited to sergeants and ordinary generals. The generals Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin and Wang Renzhen broke the law in Houshu, and were convicted by a hundred officials, and unanimously agreed that they should be executed, but Song Taizu specially ordered pardon. After pacifying the Southern Tang Dynasty, Song Taizu promoted Wang Quanbin to the envoy of the festival, saying: "I took the left of the river to be peaceful, and I was worried that the generals in the south would not abide by discipline, so I suppressed the Qing for several years, and legislated for me. "This kind of emperor's southern technique is a precedent for favoritism with law.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, due to the various illegal acts of greedy men and generals, they were very tolerant of leniency, impunity, improper punishment, and reuse of crimes, so there were endless cases of violations of laws and prohibitions. As a result, the corrupt will be passed down from generation to generation. The people of the time commented on the style of the Southern Song Dynasty, "foolish and jealous, greedy and hunting pawns, guarding the border is the infant city to protect itself, going to aid is a detour to avoid the front, courage is not enough to advocate the three armies, wisdom is not enough to predict ten miles, the public is not enough to serve the public, the power is not enough to conquer, the small battle is defeated, the big war is run, the actual defeat is the victory, the merit is rewarded, this covers the disadvantages of a hundred years, there are not easy to reform." Although this passage is not enough to summarize the whole situation of the corrupt generals, it is not very similar.

The fact is that there is no way to get rid of the shortcomings of 300 years. In addition to annexing land, engaging in commerce, running wine shops, etc., there were also various methods of enslavement and exploitation of soldiers:

Deducting the money and food of the sergeants is one of the most common malaise, "the army warehouse officials pay to the rice Hu", "the month is reduced by the year", "the envy of the surplus for a long time, it is a wide surplus, although it is not taken openly, in fact, it is a hidden accumulation, every time it encounters loose clothes, grain, material money, etc., when it is invited, it relies on the jurisdiction of the ministry and goes straight to it." Civilian officials and military generals not only deducted money and food from the soldiers, but even "cut grass in the market for war horses, often suppressed the equivalence, and did not have three-quarters of it."

The forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, native soldiers and archers of the Southern Song Dynasty were generally stationed locally, and the garrison soldiers had the problem of going out to fight and fight. During the period when the sergeants are out in battle, their salaries should be collected by their families to support their families. That is to say, the sergeants who went out of the army issued vouchers, and the families in the village received military rations, but even the survival funds of these military families and the soldiers' life money would be reduced.

Then there is the "false name", which has now become an empty salary, and the use of "there is a name but no one, there is a so-called false coupon; If there is a person but not a real person, there is a so-called false name. In fact, the officers in charge of the army may use their own food and clothing with the military academy seniors, but they will keep them private, which in fact means that they are deliberately retaining the shortage of the army, so that they can steal the shortage of money and food as if they were already there.

There is also "buying labor", that is, "sergeants sell workers outside and pay money to the camp so as not to be reviewed." In addition, the colonels also sent sergeants to engage in profit-making operations such as returning to trade and solicit huge profits. It is also common to issue military debts, either to "rebuild the interest money", or to deduct the military salary, or to pay the debt, so that the sergeants become their debt slaves, and even force their children and grandchildren to pay. The practice of enslavement and striving of non-commissioned officers has seriously damaged the morale and combat effectiveness of the army and caused very acute contradictions between officers and men.

The contradiction between the army and the common people is also very acute, except for every major military operation, which requires the requisition of a large number of men and cattle without exception. Tao Bi in the poem "Weapons", describing the Northern Song Dynasty's war against the Western Xia, the science and the people, rushed to make weapons: "The imperial court is in a hurry to the county, the county is in a hurry to officials, the officials have no other skills, and they are responsible for the generations." Ploughing oxen pluck their horns, and birds fly with bald wings. The interception will be empty, and the iron will be crushed. For a little later, whip out other crimes. "This is evident in the harassment of the people.

In addition to using the means of harmony to collect all kinds of military materials at low prices, there are often generals who plundered civilian property and women, so that a considerable part of the dependents of the army at that time were actually taken captive, and there will be more in the years of war and chaos. Even now, the number of women who have been taken captive by the family members of the exiled court is still blind to the purpose of 'stabilizing the morale of the military' during this extraordinary period......
