Chapter 115, Standardized Army (4)
Of course, compiling a complete code of conduct and supervising its implementation is not something that Liu Jiexuan, Xuan Yi and Niu Juming can do. Liu Jiexuan transferred almost all the literate people in the general, and even several of Shang Xiuying's goddaughters were pulled over by Liu Jiexuan from the women's camp and became the female supervisor. And the reason is still very sufficient: "Your women's battalion must also have its own set of drill codes, and the preparation of this code must be carried out by the people of your women's camp, otherwise, our big men are not clear about a lot of things, and they can't use one of them, right?" Besides, even if it is compiled, there must still be female soldiers to supervise the implementation, or it is inconvenient, isn't it? ”
But in fact, because there are few soldiers in the women's battalion, (many of the women's battalions are actually just the families of the army or something, and they are not expected to fight in battle, so their training and other tasks are limited) can be used to read and write, and as a result, the proportion of literate soldiers in the women's battalion is actually a little higher than that of male soldiers, so many female supervisors were actually sent by Liu Jiexuan to study how to compile a code of conduct for male soldiers with those male soldiers.
For example, now, the reconnaissance battalion has been assigned two female supervisors to compile a drill code with them.
At the meeting of the reconnaissance battalion, a round-faced girl about fourteen or fifteen years old was speaking: "Battalion Commander Hu, how to train this scout, what rules should be in daily life, we two little women don't understand anything at all, the chief army said, we are here, just to be a secretary." You negotiated what the terms were, and we'll just write them down. So you let us talk, we don't really have much to say. It's just that, there is one point, the director army told us to say it again, and according to his words, we can't change a word of it. While speaking, the little girl also took out a folded piece of paper, slowly unfolded it and said: "You all know the chief army, he speaks very straight, not very good, the following words are what he said, not the little woman intended to offend." The superintendent said: "As for the rules, you set them yourself, and you control the scales. Anyway, you are the only one of the reconnaissance battalions in the whole army now, and there is no comparison with other places, right? But keep in mind that this scale can't be too low. It's too low, and if the gangsters can get through, then what do you have to do? What do you want to do with the prison army? What else do you officials do? What else do you want this reconnaissance battalion to do? If you come up with a drill code, the standard is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers, I will drag you out to the whole army camp to show the public! This code, the above standard, must not be something that you can get without raising your hands, and it is certainly not something that you can get by raising your hands, it must be that you have to honestly take a few steps back, and then rush forward, jump up and step on the wall with your feet, and then you can touch it. Of course, if it's too high, it's so high that you can't reach it, and Lao Tzu has no opinion, anyway, if you can't do it then, Lao Tzu will beat your ass with a knife! Of course, after Lao Tzu has spanked your ass, you can also go and spank the butts of those brats below. Well, that's what the Superintendent said. I don't have much more to say. ”
With that, the round-faced girl nodded at everyone again, smiled, and sat down.
Hu Yidao saw that the round-faced girl's words were finished, so he stood up and said, "Zheng Jianjun just relayed the words of the chief army, everyone heard it, right?" Now I'm going to assign the task. Well, we're going to meet today to set our training standards. First of all, we have already notified you a few days ago that we have carried out testing. Now this first item is the standard for joining our reconnaissance battalion. We said last time, what about this standard, according to the last time we tested ourselves, the lowest score as the entry line, those who did not reach this score, want to enter our reconnaissance battalion, it is a dream, even if it is reached, we can't ask for anything is just enough for the entry line, right? Above the entry line, we divide it into several grades, and each grade is converted into a certain score. Then determine a score, and only those who reach this score can join us. And then there's our goal......"
And not only in the reconnaissance battalion, but in other units, the same thing is being done. In the Director's Military Department, Xuan Yi was also discussing his ideas with Huang Zide, Liu Jiexuan, and Niu Juming.
"If you want to talk about the idea of poor Dao, poor Dao wants to make a well-organized army. Since ancient times, the army has been based on how the soldiers are, and the so-called 'one soldier will be a nest of bears'. It was originally a weak army, but if you change to a good general and take it for a while, it will be powerful. It was originally a strong army, but it turned out to be a personal belt, and then it was scrapped. It's all there. Why is this so? Poor Dao thinks that this is mostly a difference in the way the army is governed. When an army is led by a good general, the military law is strict, and there are rules for every move, and the army can naturally fight. But as soon as the good generals were gone, the military law was immediately relaxed. This is because people want to be lazy, in fact, there is a lot of difference between good generals and mediocre generals. There are always very few people who can really be 'cautious' and do the same thing that someone looks at it and no one looks at it. Even if no one is watching, when you do your homework, you will have some lazy thoughts from time to time. If you can't do it, you can't be completely like anyone and no one, so how can you ask a soldier to do this? In fact, most soldiers are naturally lazy once no one is watching. If you are lazy up and down like this, this strong army will naturally be weak. ”
"So the Taoist chief thought of such a way," Huang Zide said with a smile, "List the regulations, and divide the things that a good general has to take care of to many people to do, everyone's things are limited, and they are not too tired in themselves, and everyone stares at each other, so it is not easy to be lazy." In this way, the Taoist chief is to divide the things that were originally in the hands of another general to everyone. In the future, the general will be changed, and as long as this set of things is still there, the rules of the army will not follow and will be gone. Speaking of which, in the past, a general always brought his own soldiers, and if he changed teams, it often took a lot of time to use them well. But like the Taoist Chief, every army, as long as it is qualified, then there is no big difference between them, and wherever the general goes, which army he takes can be used the same. It's a lot more convenient and flexible. ”
Niu Juming nodded secretly when he heard this, in his opinion, this kind of "standardized" army that is all made of one mold actually has another great advantage, that is, it will be easier for the king to control the army in the future. Since the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the warlord division of the Five Dynasties period, the Song Dynasty adopted the practice of separating the generals from the army, which did avoid the warlords of the Five Dynasties, but also brought about the problem of the generals not knowing the army and the weak combat effectiveness of the army. The Jokhang Dynasty also did not solve this problem well, and now the situation of warlordization is very obvious. If it succeeds, then in the future, on the basis of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army, the possibility of the generals relying on the army to make trouble will be greatly reduced.
"How could a king not like this?" Niu Juming couldn't help but think like this.
Thinking like this, Niu Juming couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Liu Jiexuan. Liu Jiexuan is the number one general under Huang Zide, generally speaking, it is difficult for a dynasty to be the number one general in the world, especially when the world is defeated, the number one general is unlucky, and the chance of being killed is definitely not small. Of course, there were many rebellions among the first generals. The former, such as Han Gaozu killed Han Xin Peng Yue, and the latter, for example, Tang Taizu failed to kill the first general (General Tiance), and was rebelled by the first general. Niu Juming thought that Xuanyi's measure now, in a sense, is not only a restriction on Liu Jiexuan, but also a protection for Liu Jiexuan, but I don't know what Liu Jiexuan himself thinks.
Liu Jiexuan actually didn't think about so many things, now it's still early to win the world, and it's a little too early to think about these things so early. Liu Jiexuan is concerned about the impact of this set of things on the combat effectiveness of the army.
"I think it's okay, but more importantly, this set of methods can make people clearly see how the army is training, and when they fight, they have a spectrum in their hearts. And usually rely on this set of methods to let the teams compare with each other, so that they can train more seriously. Well, I think the evaluation should be linked to the generals who command the troops, as well as the rewards and punishments of the soldiers under his command, so that it is good. ”
"That's what General Liu said. Otherwise, if there is time, the Supervision and Military Department will organize an evaluation every once in a while, and then report the results to the marshal, who will then reward and punish them. How is it? Niu Juming hurriedly said. He knew that joining the Ministry of Supervision was the first time that Huang Zide had entrusted him with important affairs, so he naturally had to actively participate and make some achievements. Although he also knew that if he made achievements, it would also improve Xuanyi's status.
"That's another expense." Huang Zide frowned and said, "But you still have to use it." ”
"The reward and punishment could be simpler." Xuan Yi said, "For example, a title, such as the order of eating, can be a measure of reward and punishment. Higher rewards and punishments are still placed on things related to warfare. The Ministry of Supervision of the Army dispatches supervisors to each unit, and they cannot interfere with the command of the operation, but they can record the situation of the operation, and then they can also be used as a reference for the marshal to improve the tactics and evaluate the merits of the battle. ”
"Now the teams below are preparing for the drill and assessment standards, and these things will have to be repeated several times before they are finally formed. The imperial court may not leave us so much time, we can only fight and improve at the same time. It's about to take shape in the end, I'm afraid it will have to wait for us to take Huguang. Huang Zide finally said.
