"How is the situation of each team, isn't it a little unkind for the Holy Lord to do this?" Lu Jiude, who had a lot of experience in the border army, actually disagreed with many mechanisms of the Yongwei Battalion from the beginning, which seemed to be conducive to strict military discipline, but in fact, they were simply overdrawing the vitality of young people. The excessively strict hierarchical system and intolerant law and discipline have even used various means to curb exchanges between soldiers and between officers and soldiers to the greatest extent.

Many of the squadron leaders in the Yongwei Battalion are young people who have been promoted, and they are not Lu Jiude's henchmen, which is also determined by the rules of the Forbidden Brigade of the Son of Heaven. However, as a lieutenant colonel in the army, Lu Jiude still has some personal soldiers who are responsible for passing orders and understanding the situation of the army.

"What else? After this round of punishment, even in the dormitory after the lights out, there is no whispering sound, maybe only the same team and the same team can talk in the bed? I always feel that it is okay to go on like this for a year or two, but after three years, there will definitely be problems. Alas, this is also relying on the relatively simple source of soldiers... ”

Lu Jiude doesn't see it that way, although it seems that with the simplicity of the military source and the limited number of years of service, he may not make too much trouble. However, in the end, this will be harmful to the further enhancement of the army's cohesion and combat effectiveness. In fact, many people who have been in the army have heard of some legends of excellent armies in ancient times, and they also believe in their experience that only when officers and soldiers are harmonious and the cohesion of small collectivism is not fast can it become a truly strong army.

Although Lu Jiude knew that the current saint did not attach importance to rank and seniority, but for the sake of insurance, he still told Zhou Yuji his opinion, compared with other martial artists pulled up by Cao Huachun, Zhou Yuji seemed to be stronger than Huang Degong and others because of his brain, and he was also a person who took the initiative to ask to see Xiao Xuan without being too abrupt.

At this time, Xiao Xuan had a wider range of internal military intelligence channels, and of course, he had more understanding of the situation of the team at this time like Lu Jiude. Those teenagers who are still young and have only been in the army for about a year and are in their peak state have nothing. However, the three views and habits have been difficult to improve through training, and the auxiliary camp is different. Many of the strict disciplines and regulations in the auxiliary camp are difficult to enforce no matter what. Although the requirements for the daily discipline of the craftsmen are different from those of the teenagers, there are still those who feel that this kind of management is a bit too unhumane. Let Xiao Xuan manage the problem of what kind of standard, or be silent alone in the temporary study in the camp for a long time.

Zhou Yuji also waited outside the room for a long time, because he understood that when the saint was alone at this time, it was often when he was thinking and deciding on some issues, and he didn't want others to disturb him at this time. The wait lasted for less than half an hour or so, and when Xiao Xuan thought through many questions, he let Zhou Yuji walk in.

"Do you think that many of my practices after returning from the team's victory are a bit out of line with the rules and habits of experience?" Xiao Xuan asked tentatively.

Zhou Yuji replied without much hesitation: "Of course, the army should severely punish the matter of not being subordinate." Of course, some other violations of discipline that are harmful to combat effectiveness should also be dealt with after a big victory, so as to avoid the formation of arrogant troops. However, I feel that some of Qi Shaobao's practices in the "Actual Record of Military Training" were only suitable for the appropriate requirements, and were not suitable for strict implementation. For example, the so-called food is silent, and there is no sense of home among the soldiers, so I am afraid it will be difficult to further become a strong army in the true sense... ”

"Of course I understand that. But I don't want to gamble, I am very self-aware, I am not a military general with great personality charisma, and I can mobilize the cohesion of the team to the greatest extent through traditional means. Nowadays, this method has been proven in actual combat, although it is not the best, but it is the most secure. If a military general loses a gamble, as long as the background is hard enough, he will not necessarily be punished in history, and if the talents of the court are limited, he may be reused. But if I lose the bet, I'm afraid it will not only be a matter of losing the world, but also the possibility that Huaxia will completely fall to Jiannu and repeat the disaster of Mengyuan back then... Of course, Xiao Xuan didn't habitually talk about it after thinking about it, and he could only explain all his thoughts to Zhou Yuji like this.

In any case, although Zhou Yuji is still young at this time, the cronies who have been educated by other young backbones in the same camp are still very different. A lot of words, after weighing them, are still not easy to say clearly.

Xiao Xuan also thought of the following: small collectivism, family-oriented, small collectivism in China or many other places since Confucius, and clanism or relationalism that control the upper and lower levels and make them happy, although they can burst out with considerable combat effectiveness when properly managed, they are mediocre in most cases. "Martial virtue" has a high ground, but "high ground" does not necessarily have to be "martial virtue"? Although there are many shining examples of "primitive bravery" in the modern colonial wars of the West, there are also many examples where the Qing army is not much stronger than the Opium War. Just as the Jianzhou army is very bright in military performance, but how strong are the young people who can be crushed by the late Ming army of the same period in the Lu'an Rebellion? Not to mention some of the examples of the Indians or Burmese in the face of British invasions, in military terms, the traditional culture born in the era of natural economy may be good and bad, sometimes good and sometimes bad. However, it will hinder the process of industrial and scientific progress, and the modernization of the whole society.

For example, in the first-tier developed areas of modern China, although the social rhythm and social environment are very uncomfortable, the disadvantages of human governance civilization or relationship culture are actually much less than those in the seemingly "comfortable" second- and third-tier small counties in 200X. If the functions undertaken by one's own army are not merely warfare or tools, but also an embryo of a new society, there must not be too many disadvantages in terms of human favor or human governance. The shortcomings brought about by this must also be solved by the politicization of universalism, not by the strengthening of petty collectivism within the military.

Thinking that the army's performance in the battle of Qingyuan Nanyuan was also quite good, Zhou Yuji also felt that Xiao Xuan's words had some truth, so he agreed: "The words of the Holy Lord are enlightened, and the ministers will ... ”

"There is no need for these false gifts! I will also let more people in the whole team understand this truth," Xiao Xuan also smiled at this time.

After determining the direction of the army and solving some problems, Xiao Xuan also felt that before going on the expedition, it was time to compete against some people when he looked through the issues related to government affairs and army finances. At the same time, this is also a touchstone to test the team and further clarify military discipline.
