Chapter 6: The Spirit of the Army

Based on the "Commandery Order", Xiao He's "Nine Chapters of Law", the "Order in the Army" of the former Wei Dynasty and the "Law of Unauthorized Prosperity" of the Chu State, and other military laws that have lasted for thousands of years, He Wei and several people reformulated the military orders of the Cuiyu Battalion with their knowledge and understanding, including a total of 17 beheadings and 36 articles.

Although it has been greatly streamlined, the chaff has been removed, and operability and deterrence coexist, but it still seems cumbersome and dogmatic. Xu You frowned and looked at it, but did not speak, Wang Shibi and Lu Bozhi glanced at each other, and they couldn't understand Xu You's thoughts.

Wang Shibi turned his head to look at He Wei, and saw him lying on the pillow leisurely catching lice, knowing that this mastermind was lonely and unruly, he couldn't count on it at this time, so he had to ask tentatively: "Lang Jun thinks it's inappropriate?" ”

Xu You threw the new charter aside and said with a smile: "What do you think? ”

This is what we asked, and the articles of association we drafted must have been submitted in the right place. But of course, the reply can't be like this, Lu Bo's way: "The punishment of beheading is three out of ten, and the punishment of whipping and cane is also graded, which is much more lenient than before." If Lang Jun wants to be commuted, I am afraid that I will lose deterrence and easily arouse the arrogance of the soldiers. Over time, it may change! ”

"Strict punishment and strict law have never been the best way to restrain the subordinates!" Xu You said: "Bozhi, you have studied history books intensively, how many mutinies have occurred because of it?" It can be seen that killing and scourging alone is not enough to ensure that people's hearts are as stable as a rock. As for the lack of deterrence that you are worried about, I am ready to change the current old system of military law, no longer have a single military chief officer, let alone allow the chief officers at all levels below the military commander to control the power of life, death, punishment, reward and punishment, and set up a separate supervision department......

The army is the military attache set up by the Han Dynasty to be responsible for the marching law, and Wei Chu inherited the Han system, so there are also military officials who come to review military discipline and reward merit and punishment. However, due to various reasons, most of the time, it is the military commanders at all levels who really control the military law.

Lu Bozhi suddenly changed color, and took a step forward suddenly, Wang Shibi pulled him without holding it, and the foaming star sprayed directly on Xu You's face, and said, "Lang Jun must not!" ”

"Oh?" Xu You wiped his face, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Sit, sit, isn't this a discussion?" Don't be in a hurry, just talk about your thoughts first. ”

Lu Bozhi was shocked and lost his temper, hurriedly stabilized his body, and said: "Lang Jun, Wei has internal and external marquis, Chu has Sili Mansion, and Liang and Rouran also have espionage, but Liang Guo has a small fight, and Rouran is not a climate, so these two families will be left aside for the time being." Just looking at the internal and external marquis and the Sili Mansion, the egret and the eagle dog can directly accept the wishes of the superiors, act without taboos, supervise hundreds of bureaucrats, kill at will, from the nobles and relatives, and even the people on the streets, are all panicked, no one knows when they will be arrested and die in a secret prison that no one knows. If such an espionage organization is set up in the army and clearly does not trust the soldiers, how can the soldiers be allowed to use their lives? Therefore, since the founding of the Great Chu State, he only occasionally assigned the supervising army during wartime, and the power of the Si Lifu did not dare to enter the military camps openly. If Lang Jun wants to emulate Si Lifu, in my opinion, it is better to punish the law harshly......"

Xu You was noncommittal, looked at Wang Shibi, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Shibi mung bean's eyes rolled, and said: "Lang Jun's proposal is definitely not a whim, Bo Zhi is too impatient, the Supervision Department should be ......different from the internal and external marquis, Si Lifu, etc."

He Wei caught enough lice, stretched his waist, squinted his eyes and said, "Qilang, don't sell Guanzi, what is the Supervision Division?" ”

The Supervision Department is not a thing, it can be said that since the Qin and Han dynasties initially established the military supervision system, there has never been a special military supervision system in the land of the Chinese nationality. What is a system? Yi Yun: Heaven and earth festival, and four o'clock. Saving the system does not hurt the money and the people. The king takes the system as the festival, uses it in a way, and serves it at a time, so there is a system for rules and regulations, and there is a degree of action.

The army is a violent machine, and if the court holds it in its hands, the four seas will be peaceful; If the warlord holds it in his hand, he dominates one side; With a family name in hand, that is the confidence of a century-old family. However, the army is a double-edged sword, and if it is not properly controlled, it will not only hurt others, but also hurt itself. Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have supervised the army, the shape of the **, but it can be changed from its origin, which is roughly divided into two kinds: one is the civil official supervising the army, such as the original White Thief Rebellion, Wang Chun, who served as the imperial history of the supervising army, is a civil minister, and the other is the eunuch supervising the army, which is more common, so I will not repeat it.

The advantages and disadvantages of these two military supervision systems are as straightforward as a beautiful woman who does not wear a skirt, and civil officials and military generals have always been incompatible. And the eunuch is needless to mention, the slave who lacks roots, has been suppressed in the palace for a long time, once it is released, it will be a blessing, and the temperament is very different from normal, and the military affairs are mostly full of masculinity and murderous spirit, and even the aura is not compatible, how to unify the army and supervise the army?

As for the fact that some dynasties made a name for themselves by leading troops in wars with civil officials and eunuchs, it is a very small probability in the huge number of supervising troops, which is not very valuable for reference from the perspective of mathematical statistics, and is almost negligible.

At its root, from the day of its birth, the system of supervising the army has been full of suspicion of the army, the power of the master to clamp down on the leading generals and the remote command, and the blunt fusion of two different systems that are completely opposed to the military system, so it is destined to do more harm than good and will be eliminated by history.

What Xu You wants to do is to completely integrate the prison army into the army!

"The Supervision Department is different from all the previous supervision of the army, that is, the Supervision Department belongs to the internal establishment of the army, and the people of the Supervision Department must first be brave soldiers, fearless when facing battle, and serve to the death when it is critical, rather than holding the power of supervising the army, acting as a prestige, and overriding the soldiers and commanders. In addition, they also have more duties than ordinary soldiers to monitor and reward punishments, perform the duties of investigating violations, and undertake many other affairs that originally belonged to the commanders, such as indoctrination of military law and evaluation of military merits. ”

"For example, the new military law that will be promulgated this time will be taught by the Supervision Department to the soldiers, understand and understand it, and then hand it over to the commanders at all levels for rigorous training. In the event of a violation, the chief officer has no right to impose any punishment, but must be subject to a preliminary assessment by the Supervision Department in accordance with the regulations on military law, make a punishment opinion, and submit it to the Supervision Department at the next higher level for approval and reconsideration, and then may apply military law. For example, after the war, with regard to the promotion and selection of meritorious personnel, the chief officials at all levels put forward the list of recommended personnel, and then the corresponding supervision departments at all levels are responsible for investigation and verification, and they also need to be submitted to the higher level for examination and approval and reconsideration. ”

"In addition, in peacetime and wartime, the Supervision Department has no right to interfere with the command of the commander-in-chief, and can only obey and carry out all orders.

As long as the chief officer does not rebel and does not disobey the order, they must protect the chief officer from harm with their lives, and they will fight endlessly, even if they die, they will all die in front of the chief officer."

"The Supervision Department must not only be aware of the merits and demerits, but also accept all kinds of complaints from the soldiers against the chief officer, appease their emotions, solve their troubles, and find ways to boost morale, so as to truly achieve the love of the robe, which is greater than heaven and earth!"

…………

"And the most important and important point is that the tentacles of the Supervision Department go directly down to the level of tithes, with one supervisor for every tithe, one cantonment for every cantonment, one superintendent for every 500 people, one superintendent for every thousand people, and one superintendent for each army, and the person in charge of the Supervision Department is the superintendent of the army! The Supervision Department is integrated into the military and operates independently, from the bottom up, and is accountable only to its own superiors. ”

He Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu?" Is there a separation of powers? Good, very good! He clapped his hands excitedly and said: "In this way, no general can raise troops for self-respect, let alone rebellion, and before the camp gate is out, he will be taken down by the Supervision Department for questioning." However, the Supervision Department cannot interfere in the command and promotion nomination of the military, and naturally there is no way to hinder military affairs and delay the fighter plane. The best thing is that the Supervision Department is located in the middle of the army, and there is no end to it, and the leaders can no longer be deceived by the overseers or bribing the prison army as before. Qilang is really a celestial, such a method, I think even Shen Du, who is known as the military god of the Chu State, will bow down! ”

Ignoring He Wei's sycophant roar, Xu You said in a deep voice: "It's not a simple division of power, the three provinces are to divide the power of the prime minister and consolidate the position of the emperor." The original intention of the establishment of the Supervision Department is only to prevent the commanders at all levels from holding the sharp blade of rewarding and punishing the promotion of the soldiers under their command, committing the evil thing of enslaving **, colluding with associations, colluding, and being greedy and greedy. ”

Lu Bozhi said: "Military spirit? ”

"Yes, the military spirit! All things are born with souls, and the same is true for the army, I hope that the military soul of the Cuiyu Battalion is brave, fearless, confident, and loving the people. If you really forge such a military soul, you can win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, block a hundred with one, and defeat the domineering with the royal road, it will be a male army countless times stronger than the Nandu Army of An Shiyu, which is enough to compete with the Ghost Fang Army, Xiliang Dama, and Baibao Xianbei. ”

Xu You's words were full of inflammation, and he said: "Only the new Supervision Department will sweep away the malpractices in the army throughout the ages, and then let the rewards and punishments of each soldier be fair, and the promotion of each level of chief officer fair, so that the living will have glory, and the dead will have honor, cultivate the spirit of war, cultivate the heart of courage and determination, cast the bones of indomitability, and forge the soul of constant victory!" ”

The scene depicted by Xu You appeared in the minds of everyone present, and they all felt their blood boiling, and even the most opposed Lu Bo was instantly persuaded by Xu You, and couldn't help but say: "If this can really be the case, it is a change that has not been seen in a thousand years......

Wang Shibi said: "If you want to realize Lang Jun's great strategy, the selection of the military envoy is very important, I don't know if Lang Jun has someone he wants?" ”

Xu You smiled: "It's you, Wang Shibi!" ”
