Great Song Dynasty Military Discipline

Article 1: Do not harass civilians in Liao, and do not rape women.

Cai Dao also made a special note on the meaning of commoners in the military discipline, which specifically referred to the peasants, craftsmen, merchants who were willing to give half of their household wealth, poor scholars, and gentry with a very good reputation in the local area.

In the remarks at the end of the military discipline, a list of gentry in need of protection is also recorded in the area around Yanjing Xilufu.

The officers originally complained, this one can't be moved, and that one is not allowed to touch, so where do they, the officers, make money from?

Pan Xiong explained to them again, the four people are farmers and businessmen, and the farmers and businessmen do not talk about him, and the scholars in today's Liao State specifically refer to the civil officials and military generals of the government, but these people's homes can be raided.

Second, all seizures should be returned to the public.

Cai Dao made a note later, the meaning of returning to the public is not that the imperial court should return all the seizures of the army on the battlefield to the three envoys and the inner treasury, and not leave a little money for the officers and soldiers who participated in the war. The capture and return to the public was only temporary, and after the things were transported back to Bianliang City, Cai Dao would value them, and then, in proportion, distribute all the captured treasures to all the soldiers and officers who participated in the war.

In this process, except for all the things in the palace of Yanjing Liaoguo, other seizures, whether it is the imperial treasury or any yamen, will not intercept these seizures.

After reading this note, everyone's hearts were completely settled.

Cai Dao's move was to stabilize the value of the Qilin silver coins, and there must have been a large amount of silver stored in the Yanjing Xilu Mansion of the Liao State, if the officers and soldiers hid it privately and circulated it to the market, those who secretly minted the Qilin silver coins would become even more rampant.

Nowadays, there are stolen Kirin silver coins on the market, after all, when Cai Dao sets the price of this kind of silver coin, it is still a little inflated.

However, the workmanship of those unicorn silver coins circulating in the market is really poor, and they can only deceive ignorant women and children in remote places, anyway, if someone takes this kind of copycat unicorn silver coins to Bianliang City to swindle, it will definitely be unlucky. Because, in Bianliang City, even three-year-old children can now distinguish the authenticity of the Qilin silver coin.

What's more, the groups that can really use a large number of Qilin silver coins are the forbidden army and merchants, and the forbidden army is paid by the military, not to mention, Cai Dao also opened royal department stores in the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as Chang'an, Hangzhou and Chengdu, so in today's Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the entire group of the forbidden army, or the Xiang army in those important cities, this new currency is not excluded.

This is especially true for merchants, as the unicorn silver coin is not only convenient to use, but also has a more value-preserving effect than Jiaozi. If those who make counterfeits can make Qilin silver coins that can deceive merchants, Cai Dao will not kill such a copycat master, but will take it into his pocket.

In fact, he has already mastered the vast majority of the groups that make fake unicorn silver coins, and has not arrested one of them so far, Cai Dao is raising fish, and when the fish are fattened, they can get greater benefits when they are caught, and they can also use this to eliminate the masterminds who have been hiding in the shadows.

After that, the military discipline is some specific regulations that should be killed and punished, and Cai Dao draws on the ancient military regulations that have been handed down from ancient China to the present, which is commonly referred to as 'seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings'.

For example, those who do not obey orders are to be executed, soldiers who flee without authorization are executed in battle, and all soldiers who are wounded in the back are not given bereavement benefits to their families when they die, and those who are alive are driven out of the ranks of the forbidden army.

Of course, the soldier who was injured in the back can also complain, and if he was injured by his own people, after being identified, the relevant soldier and his commander will be held responsible.

……

Existence is reasonable!

Cai Dao did not change any of them, although the ancient military regulations were stricter, but the generals of the Song Dynasty would instill these military rules in their soldiers when training their soldiers.

"Huang Keqi, why does Ben Shuai seem to have heard that during the day today, when you received Ben Shuai's military order, you wanted to disobey the order. By the way, you're still scolding Ben Shuai's mother behind your back, yes or no? Pan Xiong glanced at Huang Keqi with slanted eyes, and then looked in the direction of Luanhe, but the words that came out of his mouth frightened the commander of the Xiangdu, who had always been known for his outspokenness and boldness.

Huang Keqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly defended: "Bu Shuai, this is definitely a rumor, this must be the conspiracy of those Khitan Han people, they are dividing the relationship between the lower officials and the Bu Shuai." ”

"Hehe, in this way, your kid is very famous, even Yelu Yanxi attaches so much importance to it, and he actually sent a secret agent to separate you and me!" Pan Xiong suddenly sneered twice, and then said: "Anyway, Huang Keqi, when did Ben Shuai have something to do with your kid!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, ......!" For such a question, Huang Keqi just kept touching his head and smirking, and he didn't dare to continue to defend it now.

"Remember, if there is a battlefield disobedience in the future, Ben Shuai can't spare you, and he can't even have this kind of thought. If you have any opinions, when the war is over, at the military meeting, you will put it forward in a dignified manner, and the commander will not blame you. Speaking of this, Pan Xiong let out a long sigh, as if he was talking to himself: "Alas......! It's still handsome and soft-hearted! If Master Taishi was here, your kid would have been taken down by adults a long time ago. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for your love, the lower official will do as you tell me tomorrow, and I will go to the soup and go to the fire." Huang Keqi hurriedly patted his chest and said loyally.

He knew that what Pan Xiong said was the truth, in the process of going out, what Cai Dao said was a holy decree, and no one was allowed to disobey it, and if he hesitated, he would be taken down by the gendarmerie.

The so-called military conference was also initiated by Cai Dao during his southern expedition to the Great Yue Kingdom, which was divided into a pre-war military conference, a war-in-war military conference, and a post-war military conference.

At the pre-war meeting, Cai Daohui asked the troops, from generals to ordinary soldiers, to give suggestions and suggestions, and for this reason, he also specially selected many eighteen-year-old young people who could write to serve in the army, that is, to serve those soldiers who were illiterate but wanted to give advice.

At the beginning, whether it was a low-level officer or an ordinary soldier, the enthusiasm to participate was not high, but as a result, no one expected that Cai Dao would select a lot of soldiers and low-level officers with ideas from those suggestions, and the selected soldiers would be immediately promoted to officers, and the low-level officers would be given higher official positions.
