Chapter 40: Beyond Military Orders
Out of the Shuai's mansion, Wang Shougui hung his head down, and only felt that a boulder was pressed on his chest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe has been in the palace for many years, and he knows that Xu Ping's status in Zhao Zhen's heart is not something that can be shaken. This time he acted recklessly, and was caught by Xu Ping, and his future was uncertain. If you go up to the report, it's okay just to reduce your duties and punishments, but I'm afraid that I will lose my holy family from now on, and there will be no more future. Now his brother Wang Shouzhong can still take care of him, and when his brother is gone, life in the palace is difficult.
Walking horses do not have to be just one member, nor are they necessarily eunuchs, but they can also use three classes of envoys. If there are two horses along the way, one chamberlain and one military minister will be used, which is the rule that the Zhenzong Dynasty began to form. Qin Fenglu is such an important place, Zhao Zhen used Wang Shougui alone, which was a reward for his work during the fire that year, and an opportunity to give him. Originally, he also cherished it very much, and he had always been very disciplined, but when Xu Ping changed the class law, an opportunity to make great contributions was in front of him, and he finally couldn't bear it. Changing the ancestral legal system really brought down Xu Ping, and Wang Shougui soared into the sky.
The official position borne by the horse is not high, and the qualifications of the military ministers are the large and small envoys of the third class of court management, and the grade of the inner servants is also equivalent to the three classes of envoys. It is precisely because of the low official position that the general horse bears the responsibility of being determined to do things, always thinking of making a big news, making meritorious contributions, and getting promoted. Wang Shougui still made this mistake this time, and when the opportunity to make meritorious service was in front of him, he couldn't care about anything.
After this turmoil in the Shuaifu, Gan Zhaoji didn't even dare to say a word to Wang Shougui, and made an appointment for him to go to the Military Justice Department tomorrow to try the case, just like he didn't know him. Walking on the road, all the people under the Shuaifu's jurisdiction saw Wang Shougui as if they had seen the plague god, and they avoided him from afar. Xu Ping said that everything was done in accordance with military law, and the three people who were looking for Wang to abide by the rules in private, everyone knew that they were going to die. With such three people as role models, who would dare to say a word about Wang abiding by the rules?
Looking at the appearance of everyone, Wang Shougui felt that his mood was heavy, and he only felt out of breath in this sultry weather.
After sending Wang Shougui away, Xu Ping said to Zhang Kang and Jingtai: "Today, I beheaded the three commanders who privately met with Wang Shougui, and the army will inevitably be silent, this is not what I want." No matter how big or small it is in the army, I hope that everyone can contribute their own strength, instead of being like a puppet and only knowing how to do what is ordered. In ancient times, when marching and fighting, the commander would summon all the generals to gather in advance, and use the wisdom of the people to check and fill in the gaps. A wise man will have a thousand thoughts, and a fool will have a gain, and the ancients will not deceive me. Afterwards, you have to preach to the army to understand why you want to behead those three people. Not because they are dissatisfied with the system in the military, not because they talk about me, but because they talk behind their backs, especially because they talk to irrelevant people. If you have a different view on the system in the army or on affairs, regardless of your status, even if you are a pawn, you can discuss it, but you must follow the established procedures. Don't say nothing when the chief officer asks, and wait until the aftermath to be full of complaints. Doing so shook the morale of the army, and it was to cut off the head. If you have something to say, say it face to face, even if you are wrong, you will not be punished. If there is an invention and the idea proposed is really useful, the marshal will not hesitate to reward it. ”
Zhang Kang was a little disapproving: "Sergeants and soldiers in the army, just know how to carry out military orders, what do they know?" If everyone is talking about it, and the military order is questioned as soon as it is issued, wouldn't it be a mess! ”
"Military orders must be carried out, and this cannot be discounted in any way! However, there are many other things in the army that are not only military orders. If everything is made into a military order, then the military order will inevitably not be strict, and everyone will say one thing and do another, which will be very harmful. Gongshou, if you want to issue a military order, you must first think about whether this military order can be fulfilled and how it can be done. It is more prudent when issuing military orders, and it is easier for generals to carry them out, and only military orders that they can do will be taken seriously. This dynasty has always been the most reasonable, why did you forget this when you arrived in the army? Can you really bring out a strong army by fighting and killing? I don't think so. Don't be afraid of trouble when you do things, if you say a few more words, the soldiers will believe you more. ”
Zhang Kang said: "Those who have been good at governing the army since ancient times will inevitably be like a mountain, and they cannot be discounted in the slightest. Commander, I still think that you don't put so much effort into the soldiers, as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, the rewards for listening to the orders are heavy, and the violators are severely punished, it is enough. ”
Seeing Zhang Kang insisting on his opinion so much, Xu Ping couldn't help laughing: "You still don't understand what I mean, there are not only military orders in the army, but also other orders, general orders, temporary commands, and so on. Military orders must be strictly enforced, there is no problem with this, but it is the commander-in-chief who issues military orders in the army, and it is Sang Xiucai who issues military orders in your army, understand? In the past, military orders were too general, and every order of the boss was regarded as a military order, which is not right. In order to be strict in military orders, it is necessary to be lively in other matters, and the combination of the two can ensure that military orders are carried out without discount. ”
Zhang Kang scratched his head: "Jie Shuai, I'm a little confused by what you said." Why do military orders still have to be classified, and why are there still some that are not military orders? Those soldiers are simple-minded, and they are so complicated, how can their brains think about it? ”
"Don't be confused, it's just because we have a rough military system now, and many things have not been refined, that you think so. Have you noticed that since you arrived in Qinzhou, all matters directly related to military affairs, such as combat, training, and marching, have been drafted by the Military Department of the Counselor of the Marshal's Mansion, and sent to you by the Department of Opportunity? ”
Zhang Kang looked at the other people and shook his head: "Is that so?" I didn't pay attention. ”
"The Counsellor's Military Department is the commander's yamen of the Marshal's Palace, and only they can issue military orders, and they must be indicated. What other yamen sent to you is just ordinary official documents, and you don't have to treat them as military orders. In the future, your army will do the same, and military orders can only be issued by one yamen, and they must be issued by the commander-in-chief, and the others will be treated as official documents. The military counsellor and the one who drafts military orders are the commander's yamen, which must be established from the marshal's office to you, with clear responsibilities. As for which level to go to, I haven't thought about it, you guys will help you come up with ideas, and in combination with this exercise, you must think it through. Just now, you and Jingtai preached to the generals and soldiers, and they can put forward opinions and ideas, and these are not military orders. That's why I've repeatedly said that the implementation of military orders cannot be discounted in any way, but there are not only military orders in the army. ”
Zhang Kang can be regarded as understanding Xu Ping's meaning, just like there are many kinds of orders from the imperial court, some of which must be implemented immediately regardless of whether they agree or not, but some can put forward their own opinions. This is not the case in the army, where the orders of the superiors are pressed by the first, and the orders of the superiors and the subordinates cannot be discounted in any way, otherwise it will be regarded as disobeying the military order. Disobedience to military orders should be beheaded, but the reality is that there are too many military orders, and many of them have no possibility of enforcing them at all, and this military law cannot be enforced. As a result, they can only selectively enforce the law and become a tool for superiors to clean up their subordinates. Look at who is not pleasing to the eye, arrange a task that cannot be completed at all, and then cut off his head in accordance with military law. When it comes to strictly enforcing the law, such as fleeing from the battle, afraid of not fighting, because selective law enforcement is used to it, but because someone covers it up and does not receive the punishment it deserves.
It is better to have laws and rules and regulations that do not take into account the feasibility, and to make a mountain of vigorous and resolute action first require the science of the decision-making process, not to work decision-making, and to blindly emphasize the executive power, which is not only stupid, but also deliberately evil. A large number of rules and regulations that cannot be enforced have been formulated, and everything is a military order, which on paper seems to be a strict management of the army, but in fact the rules and regulations have been abolished. Every regulation must be enforceable, and that is the right attitude.
