Zhu Pingjin's establishment of a system of collective leadership in the new army is not only a practical need, but also a historical conclusion. During the Spring Festival, Zhu Pingjin devoted himself to the study, stealthily researching and comparing the control methods of various armies in Chinese history. The conclusion is amazing, the commissar system is the most superior solution to control the army!

China's methods of controlling the armed forces have varied from dynasty to dynasty. The central government of the Western Han Dynasty implemented the system of two armies, the north and the south. The southern army is within the palace walls, and the soldiers and generals are weak, and all outsiders are used. The riots of the Beijing people did not affect the southern army. The northern army was outside the palace walls, the soldiers were strong and strong, and all the locals were used. If the outer town rebels, the powerful Northern Army can be put down in one fell swoop. In the Tang Dynasty, the central government implemented twelve guards, and the other towns implemented the government military system. With the method of internal and external control, it has created the brilliance of Datang.

After the secession of feudal towns in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, China carried out major rethinking and adjustment at the level of the military system, and greatly strengthened the control of the imperial court over the army. Military generals and even warriors are regarded by the monarch as a major threat to themselves and the country, which must be used and guarded against. Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the status of a senior general of the forbidden army to add a yellow robe, and he turned to the gentle strategy of "releasing military power with a glass of wine", and sent those generals who threatened the imperial power to retire one after another, which greatly weakened the potential of the army's rebellion. After that, the Song Tai Group continued to strengthen the control of the imperial power over the army through the system, which was specifically implemented in the system of "internal and external ministers" and "soldiers without dictatorship". The "internal and external phase system" is to divide the army into the forbidden army and the box army, and the forbidden army is the central army, which is the elite; The Xiang army is a local army, and it is a miscellaneous brand. prevent local rebellion through the method of strong cadres and weak branches; "Soldiers without a monopoly" means that the fixed units of the army are reduced to battalions, and each battalion has only about 500 people. When the army is dispatched in wartime, according to the order of the Privy Council, the general is temporarily appointed and organized into an army. Senior generals usually have no soldiers on their hands, and it is difficult for them to rebel. However, a major military operation may require the temporary mobilization of dozens or even hundreds of battalions, resulting in a situation in which "the general does not know the troops" and greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The Ming Dynasty made changes to the practices of the Song Dynasty. In addition to the establishment of the garrison system of the metropolitan guard and the conscription system of the world military system, the most important change was to use civil servants to lead the troops. The basic unit of the Ming Dynasty army was also a battalion, but the scale of the battalion was larger, at least on paper there were more than 5,000 people. The four battalions of Zheng, Qi, Aid, and Yougu are led by the general soldier, the deputy general (deputy general soldier), the staff general, and the guerrilla, but the battalion system is much the same. On the surface, the general army can command the battalions, but in reality, the general army cannot deploy the battalions. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of Wenchen was much higher than that of military ministers, and "Wenchen leading troops" had become a system, and military generals completely lost the status of the chief officer of the army and became the vassals of Wenchen, who regarded military generals as pigs and dogs. Civil officials such as the military department, the superintendent, the governor, the governor of the provinces, the military preparation road, and the military supervision road often held the holy decree in one hand and the sword of Shangfang in the other, and directly commanded the army to fight. Wenchen was able to completely overwhelm the generals, and did not completely rely on the strength of the imperial power. Wenchen had an important means of controlling the army, and that was food. Once the imperial power weakened and the army itself had a relatively stable source of food and salary, the Ming Dynasty's hereditary military system, which was linked by blood relations, was easier to form the primary form of warlords like "Jiangmen" than the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty. For example, for the famous Liaoxi General, Wenchen's command was ineffective. Once the gate stirs up trouble, the life and safety of Wenchen are threatened. In addition, the generals' family system in the Ming Dynasty actually allowed the generals to have a private armed force with combat effectiveness. Once the generals were out of the control of the imperial court, this private army could immediately ferment into a large private army. At present, not only the Liao army, but also the Chu army and the Qin army, there is already a clear trend of warlordization. The imperial court has lost command over some generals.

"Soldiers, murder weapons!" In Zhu Pingjin's view, in order to prevent the double-edged sword of the army, successive dynasties have made great efforts on the fatal issue of army control, but the effect is very poor, resulting in a decline in the army's combat effectiveness to varying degrees. Because these control measures are all about exerting restraining forces on the military from the outside. This external constraint of limited strength not only restricts the combat effectiveness of the army, but also immediately rebounds once it is weakened, the force of the army out of control.

Only the army under the leadership of the communist D, through the establishment of branches at the company level, established the "division of labor and responsibility system of the chiefs under the unified collective leadership of the D committee" of military units at all levels, formed a dual military-political leadership mechanism, and ensured D's absolute leadership over the army; Through ideological education, the self-restraint of military personnel has been strengthened, the loyalty of the army has been guaranteed, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been enhanced. Therefore, when Zhu Pingjin was forced by the situation to create an army, in order to strengthen his personal control over the army, the political commissar system he was familiar with immediately became his first choice.

However, in addition to the revamped political commissar system, Zhu Pingjin also prepared a second line of insurance for the loyalty of the army, that is, the personal allegiance of the soldiers. The imperial court may try to woo and tempt a certain general, but it is impossible for the court to woo and tempt all the soldiers. As long as the soldiers are unwilling to go with the imperial court, the probability of the generals pulling away the troops will be much smaller, and the losses after pulling away will be much smaller. Therefore, Zhu Pingjin took many measures to ensure the loyalty of the soldiers. First, a large number of royal slaves were selected as soldiers; the second is to give personal favors; the third is to take family members as hostages; Fourth, the kidnapping of interests. The last point is political mobilization and ideological enlightenment, which is called brainwashing to put it mildly, so as to gain the support and trust of the soldiers from the heart. Zhu Pingjin believes that this last point is the most important. Most of these soldiers are seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen years old, bitter and bitter, and their world outlook and values have not yet been fully formed, so there is a lot of room for plasticity. Just put them in a group, and their minds will be influenced by the surroundings. After their minds solidified, they became Zhu Pingjian's die-hard class.

Ancient, modern, and modern, the political wisdom of the upper and lower two thousand years of military governance is strangely mixed together to form a bizarre four dissimilarities, like a hodgepodge eaten by sumo wrestlers, which may give birth to a terrifying monster.

It was late at night, the cool air in the mountains hit people, and the sky was full of stars. After a day of tossing, the soldiers were already sleepy and fell asleep. Zhu Pingjin stood under the eaves of the small courtyard, breathing and feeling the breath of this era. A figure came in from outside the door, alarming Zhu Pingjian.

"Wechen meets the prince!" It turned out to be He Youyi.

"Sir's loyalty is commendable, but today's mention of sir's allegiance to this son is a bit out of place." Zhu Pingjin sat in the room and said slowly to He Youyi.

"Wechen knows that he is wrong, and Wechen is here for this." He Youyi lifted his shirt and knelt in front of Zhu Pingjin, "Please punish the prince!" ”

Zhu Pingjin smiled and said, "Mr. doesn't have to blame himself. Those soldiers were the house slaves of the son of this world. Mr. donated his family to the palace, and we are also a family of master and servant. It is a matter of course for a house slave to be loyal to the head of the house, so why make a big fuss? Still worried that others won't hear? ”

He Youyi listened to Zhu Pingjian's words, suddenly realized, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The prince is very smart, and Weichen is far behind." Please show the prince, what should Weichen do in the future? ”

Zhu Pingjin said: "The soldiers are all homeless people who are struggling to survive in the market. The Son of Heaven did not give them food, but the Son of this world did; The hundred officials did not treat them as human beings, but the son of this world regarded them as human beings; The thieves took them captive, and the son of this world gave them a home. They don't regard their son as a benefactor, are they still human? If they are not loyal to the son of this world, are they still worthy to be soldiers of this world? You are also the leader of the soldiers now, and you are also the deputy battalion commander, the deputy battalion supervisor, the company commander of the fourth company, and the company supervisor of the third company. You are also the battalion chief of staff, and the battalion's combat training plan will be your own......"

He Youyi said: "Weichen understands. It's just that Mr. Shu's side ......"

"Mr. Shu is a talented person, and this world will be of great use in the future. You are from Master Shu's discipleship, and Master Shu has the grace to preach and teach you to solve your doubts. Mr. Shu, Mr. Li, and Mr. Gao are all from Master Shu's disciples, and they are all your classmates. You must unite sincerely, learn from each other and help each other, and work together to assist the son of the world, and jointly build this earth-shattering cause of relieving the people from hanging upside down! ”

After beating He Youyi, Zhu Pingjin said again: "When there is chaos today, this thief doesn't know where he is now." The little soldiers in our hands are the capital for us to live in troubled times. Mr. must do his best to assist General Song and Mr. Shu, and train the little soldiers we have at hand well, so that we can do something in the future! ”

He Youyi knew that the "doing something" in the mouth of the prince was by no means his own so-called "living and living", but must be a "big event". The fire in He Youyi's heart burned again.

"Soldiers must be trained, and they must be pulled out to fight, so as to get an elite soldier who dares to fight and can fight! Now these 300 people are the seeds of the future army of this world, and several of you are also the seeds of the pillars of the ministers. This son of the world is to treat this Mengding Mountain as a martial arts, and everyone will use it after they go out. What Mr. is thinking and doing now is how to train this soldier well. Don't go to the battlefield, like a mouse sees a cat! This son has high expectations for Mr., and Mr. must not mistake himself! ”

He Youyi paused again and said, "Thank you for the order!" Wechen will definitely smear the liver and brain of the prince! ”

Zhu Pingjin smiled and said, "It's good that Mr. understands." It's late at night, and it's cold and humid in the mountains. Would you like to go to the ward with this son to see if the soldiers are sleeping well? Can you catch a cold? They are all miserable people who are floating in troubled times. This caravan will be their home from now on. This Shizi and Miss Luo are their parents, they are siblings, and you are their elders and teachers. Parents should discipline and educate their children, and children should be filial and obedient to their parents; Brothers should love and help; Elders and teachers should be strict with their disciples and students, and disciples and students should respect and love their elders......"

He Youyi said: "The son of the world regards the army as his home and loves the soldiers like a son. Presumably they will come to the battlefield, and everyone will be able to work together and swear to die! The ability of the prince to lead the army, the micro-minister is admired, and he is ashamed! ”
