Chapter 171: I want to—clearly—whitely—
The second day's meeting was known as the "Small Station Meeting". Although this meeting only lasted for one morning and was not too long, it occupied a very special position in the history of the Xuan Army, just like last year's "Tianjin Conference." Later commentators thought that the "small station meeting" was actually "a clear source and a continuation of the past and a new future", and its importance was not under the "Tianjin Conference".
Guan Zhuofan made it clear from the beginning: In the case of the squad leader surnamed Feng beating a soldier surnamed Li, the "soldiers' committee" has the right to report to the "military committee."
"There are indeed regulations that the only matters submitted by the 'soldiers' committee are 'whether the commander has tortured the soldiers in addition to training and combat' and 'whether the commander has deducted the soldiers' food and clothing', and the rest of the matters are 'inadmissible in principle.'" But you have to understand—"
When Guan Zhuofan said this, he paused slightly, and his eyes swept the audience. The generals sat upright, not squinting, but they all felt the sharpness of his eyes, and their hearts couldn't help but drum.
"This regulation is to avoid weakening the authority of the commander to discipline the soldiers and command the battle, but it does not mean that the commander will lynch or torture the soldiers in the name of training!"
The hearts of all the generals are all in the same place.
"What is proper discipline? What is lynching? ”
"It is difficult to avoid physical contact 100% during the proper discipline process. I did say, 'During training, some soldiers are a little stupid, some soldiers are lazy, and it is inevitable that they will kick their feet in a hurry'; however, Feng repeatedly punched Li and knocked him to the ground, but he still did not stop, and then repeatedly stepped on him, causing several of his ribs to break and his organs to be damaged. Vomiting blood is getting worse and worse - this is called 'getting up and kicking your feet'?! Kick - fuck it. That's supposed to be a kick in the ass, the thickest part of a person's flesh! ”
The generals closed their lips tightly. No one dared to laugh out loud.
"Proper discipline and lynching, the difference is obvious, just like the sun and the moon, there is nothing wrong with the eyes, which one can't see it? - Don't expect the soldiers to see it! Pretending to be confused, but with ulterior motives! ”
When the words "ulterior motives" came out, there was more than one of the generals present. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was red and white.
Guan Zhuofan snorted and said: "A certain duke here, don't be so nervous, talk by yourself, I'm too lazy to hide it with you, today I'll clear the confused thoughts in your mind for you, and lead troops to fight in the future, a lot!" Got it?! ”
"Yes!"
The generals are all like thunder.
"It doesn't matter if you have ulterior motives, or if you want to be confused. To put it bluntly, it's just that the big head soldiers have more rights than before. The officials are not convinced! ”
"A certain male", sweat continued to break out on his forehead, and his face continued to be red and white.
"Some people are confused, they don't know how to settle accounts, and they don't understand: if the big soldiers have more rights, whose benefits are they? -- I tell you that the big head soldiers have more power, and it is not the big head soldiers themselves who have lost the most benefits, but the 'leaders' of your gang -- the officials! ”
The generals were shocked in their hearts.
Guan Zhuofan calmed his tone: "You join the army, some want to make meritorious contributions, and some want to be promoted and make a fortune - it's all good!" However, whether it is to make meritorious contributions or to be promoted and make a fortune, there is a premise, that is, to win the battle! If you can't win a war, all you can get is a military court, only the ruthlessness of national law! What else do you want to make a contribution, get promoted and make a fortune? Hum! ”
"How can I win a battle?"
Guan Zhuofan slowly glanced at the generals and said word by word: "Everyone knows: this is the first place, it is the soldier who is willing to work hard and is not afraid of death!" ”
"How do you make a soldier willing to die and not afraid of death?"
Guan Zhuofan raised his voice: "You have to treat them as people!" ”
"You treat them as human beings, and when they start a battle, the trumpet blows, and there is a soldier who is willing to hide behind?! You don't treat them as human beings, let alone charging into battle, there are black guns that hit you in the back! This truth is so difficult to understand?! ”
"Of course, you must be strict with the soldiers - as long as you follow the rules, no matter how strict you are, no one will be unconvinced, and no matter how strict you are, no one will be able to say anything!"
"Take this case as an example, the 'thorn head' doesn't listen to the discipline of the chief, so he has to be beaten violently? Can't you follow the rules? What a! ”
"On the 'rules', there are too many tricks to treat this kind of 'thorn head'! Practice, punish running laps, punish push-ups, can't you? How many soldiers who have been punished for running in circles have run until they foam at the mouth, and even have died of running with bad bones! -- All of them have died, and I haven't seen the 'soldiers' committee' report! What are the rules, what are the unruly, the heart of a soldier is clear! ”
"It's not enough, you can report to the military law, and naturally someone will beat him with a military stick and whip him, until he is expelled from the army! Need you to punch and kick? ”
After a pause, Guan Zhuofan shouted: "This reason-have you figured it out?" ”
"I want to be clear-white!"
The generals shouted in unison.
"That Feng, whip fifteen lashes, expel from the army, and repatriate to his hometown!"
"Yes!" Wall replied.
"Also, Ixan, Bai Qiwen!"
"Here!" With a swipe, Ixan and Bai Qiwen stood up and stood firm.
"You two, one of you will submit me a review! The number of words should not be less than 1,000, and I wrote it myself—I heard? ”
"Yes!" Iksan and Bai Qiwen yelled.
"Sit down!"
"As for the case of Ma Jinzhong, the 'rules' are clear, what should be done! Don't think that he was born in the infantry army and horse team, and don't think about whether he is a Han or a banner man - when did you pay attention to these things in the Xuan army? ”
"In the Xuan Army", it is not that they have never "paid attention to these", but the marshal is righteous and strict, and everyone has to pretend to be stupid.
In short, the marshal said so, Ma Jinzhong is bound to be demoted, and his position as company commander cannot be kept.
"Ma Jinzhong's absurdity is not pitiful, but rules are rules!"
"Perhaps, some people will have some thoughts about this 'rule': why are we locked up every day if there is no war now? Why train endlessly every day? ”
Guan Zhuofan flattened his tone again: "If you want to explain this matter clearly, you have to go a little farther." Well, where's the? Let's just talk about the time when I just reported to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, and took charge of the Nanying horse team! ”
Pulling so far? All the generals pricked up their ears, and the two old subordinates of Guan Zhuofan's infantry team, Daniel Zhang and Yixan, especially woke up the spirit of the twelve.
"I remember that on the first day I reported to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, I gave people one hundred and twenty taels of silver, plus the more than three hundred taels of silver that I spent on this matter two days ago, and I spent almost five hundred taels of silver. At that time, I thought, Lao Tzu's entire net worth, only a thousand taels of silver, only a few days, half of it was spent, how did you get it? ”
Unexpectedly, what the marshal said was such a thing, and the generals were all surprised.
"Who would have thought that as soon as I took the position of the Nanying Yinzi team manager, the four sentry commanders below each stuffed a red envelope over. I secretly opened it and looked, hey! A red envelope is fifty taels, a total of two hundred taels! At the end of this day, one hundred and twenty taels went out and two hundred taels came in. ”
Hearing this, others were fine, but Daniel Zhang "brushed" his face red all of a sudden. With the thick skin of Deputy Commander Zhang, this expression is rare to see - he is one of the "four sentry commanders" back then.
"But, being a soldier like this is really doing business - a soldier who does this kind of business, can the fuck fight?!"
Guan Zhuofan stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and knocked on the table hard.
The generals' hearts trembled.
However, the marshal's voice was still calm: "As you know, I have long since stopped accepting gifts. Well, what about other people who don't know what? Zhang Keshan! ”
With a "snap", Daniel Zhang got up and stood up: "Here!" ”
"What about you?"
Daniel Zhang yelled: "I don't accept gifts under the mark for a long time!" There are a lot of regular salaries, incorruptible silver, and military salaries under the mark, plus the rewards of the marshals and the regular sharing of the wars, and the marks have already made a fortune! There is no need to receive any more gifts! ”
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, I can trust you, sit down." ”
After Daniel Zhang sat down, Guan Zhuofan put away his smile: "The atmosphere of our Xuanjun is the best, but what about outside?" -- I mean, what about places outside the 'military exclusion zone'? ”
"You all know this, it's still five years ago - when I first joined the infantry army to lead the yamen!"
