Chapter 69: Instructors
Chairman Mao, who was called Taizu by later generations, actually didn't fight much, and he relied on his subordinates to fight, such as Lin Biao and Su Yu. However, it was the form of the army that he single-handedly created that set the tone of the entire organization, and after many rectifications, it formed a combat effectiveness. Therefore, Yuan Xi counted several strong armies in Chinese history, but in the end, they were not comparable to the communist army. The management ideas contained in it are even more exemplary. Almost all outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs read the Mao Zedong anthology.
After Yuan Xi proposed the concept of "People's Army", there was a buzz of discussion around him, obviously very strange about the name.
"The people, the people in the army come from hundreds of family names, which means that it is not my Yuan Xi's army alone, but everyone's army. We all come from the people and go to the people, and in the future, the people's army will be the people's army, and it is a team that takes it as its own responsibility to protect the people. ”
"I announce that Zhao Yun will be the company commander. The three platoon commanders are now chosen by yourselves. Lu Fang! ”
"In!"
"You will be the instructor of the first company from now on, and you will directly obey me. The company commander has the final say in the march to fight, and the company commander has the final say. The instructor has the final say on everything else. In addition, there are three classes under each platoon, and everyone jointly elects the squad leader. Each class leader should develop excellent backbones and form study groups. In the future, when cadres are appointed, priority will be given to the selection of cadres from the study group. ”
As a party member in later generations, this set is naturally seen a lot. Although it is rigid, it is also a solution. The reason why the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army could not be defeated or dragged down during the Long March was that the branch was built on the company and the party commanded the gun. This is also one of the most important initiatives in the adaptation of Sanwan.
"Disciplinary norms are now announced. When Han Gaozu entered Xianyang, there were three chapters of the law, Chairman Mao had three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and countless great organizations started from some small places. The People's Army is no exception. ”
The so-called discipline, in the eyes of later generations, is something ridiculous. For example, Liu Bang proposed to pay for life for killing, judging from common sense, doesn't it take life to kill people? It can be seen how chaotic Xianyang was at that time. For example, when Zhang Ruimin took over Haier, he proposed thirteen factory rules, one of which was not to defecate in the factory, which is unbelievable from today's point of view. Starting from these subtle points, people's behavior can be more and more standardized, and after the formation of norms, people have a sense of organization, and after this sense of organization is integrated into the blood, other major disciplines can be implemented without emphasis. This forms the culture and genes.
"I now declare three disciplines: 1. Obey the command in all actions. Second, do not take a stitch from the people. 3. All seizures are handed over. ”
There is no need for additional creativity, it has already been summarized and sorted out in later generations, and it is enough to use it at this time. These are three major guidelines, and the detailed rules of them need to be emphasized repeatedly. The reason why only three articles are mentioned is because the human mind can only remember the content within three, and if it is four or five, it is likely that there will be omissions. These big-headed soldiers are rough people, most of them are illiterate, and it is good to be able to say it and let them remember it at this time. The rest can only rely on daily propaganda.
To this end, he specially asked Gao Mian and Lu Da to be responsible for propaganda work, regularly organize all staff to study, and the literacy rate must also be improved. These 93 people are the first batch of seeds, and if they are trained and sown, they will be the backbone of the second batch of personnel, so that they will gradually be able to cultivate a high-quality army.
That's the question of the team for now. And the leadership team at the top is really short of people at present. Don't talk about people like Yuan Xi, even if it is an insightful strategist like Tian Fengfu, he doesn't have one. If he hadn't been dragged down by his life experience, he really wanted to go south in person and go to Nanyang to find Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is a great strategist, his judgment of the situation is extremely accurate, and he is the only one who can put forward a strategy of dividing the world into three parts in the grassland. At the same time, he can focus on the small and has a very strong tactical execution. But people like Zhuge Liang are probably disdainful of him, otherwise they would not have lived in seclusion under Liu Biao's rule.
Talent is not something that can be recruited overnight, and even if a talented person recommends himself to him, he has to look at it for a period of time before he can make a conclusion.
Everyone was in an uproar, and finally three platoon commanders were elected. Xu Dayan became the platoon commander of the first platoon, and the platoon commander of the second platoon was the former Wu Commander He Daniu, and the platoon leader of the third platoon was called Li Qi.
Then the squad leader of each squad was also elected, and Li Ping and Fan Yang both became squad leaders in Xu Dayan's platoon. This is also a long-term role in the first camp.
This competition challenge is actually an experiment done by Yuan Xi, he found that most of those who dare to stand up and challenge are flat-headed soldiers who have no rank, and most of those who are waiting for the captain and the team are not challenging their superiors. One explanation is that they are content with their current position, and the other is that they are accustomed to obeying the orders of their superiors and do not dare to rebel against the existing class.
It's not that he doesn't want veterans who are willing to obey commands, it's just that at this time, the organization he wants to build is the kind of army with a democratic style, and it needs people who dare to speak out, even if they don't have official positions, they have to think and participate in discussions together. Only by forming such an atmosphere can soldiers exert their own subjectivity and regard the affairs of the organization as their own. And those who blindly obey their superiors have long recognized the reality of the hierarchy, and their hearts have become numb. He didn't want bureaucratic habits and twilight to be brought into the nascent organization.
After the platoon leader and squad leader were elected, everyone dispersed in a commotion. Only Zhao Yun, Lu Fang, Xu Dayan and others stayed.
"A few of you will be my core team in the future, and you can discuss anything. It's okay to have arguments, but it's not okay to make personal attacks. As I said just now, the situation in the world is almost clear, and the division of the princes is about to end. But this organization is in the ascendant, and everything has to be started from scratch. We don't have much time left. It's a road full of dangers, and if anyone wants to quit, I will definitely not keep him. ”
Lu Fang raised his hand and asked, "I just want to ask, what does this instructor do?" Didn't understand ...... at all."
Yuan Xi explained: "You just need to make sure that the movement of the army is in the hands of the Supreme Commander, that is, me. ”
Lu Fang said: "Isn't that just as long as the company commander obeys?" ”
He has been following Yuan Xi for a long time, and he knows that the more he asks, the more he can learn, and Yuan Xi is also willing to explore and explain in depth, so that he can sort out his thoughts clearly.
"An organization with less than 30 people can be managed by the charisma of the leader alone. And above that number, it depends on the organizational hierarchy. Now you only see a company commander and three platoon commanders, and later there will be battalion commanders, brigade commanders and division commanders. With such a huge level, how can you ensure that it is not out of shape in the middle when the order is issued from above? How do you make sure the whole team is in command? That's why I need you as an instructor. You just need to be sure that the company commander is executing according to the organization's orders, and that's it. Otherwise, you have the right to remove the company commander. ”
Zhao Yun, Xu Dayan and the others sighed one after another. This instructor seems to have more authority than the company commander.
"In addition, you also have to develop your downline, if you leave, there is no suitable person to take your place, then you will be a company instructor for the rest of your life."
Lu Fang nodded again and again and said, "I will definitely work hard." His excited voice trembled a little, originally he felt that he was a scholar, and he couldn't go to the battlefield for the rest of his life, but now he actually has a position of a scholar in the people's army, and he has a great responsibility, he seems to see a golden avenue.
Yuan Xi said to Zhao Yun and Xu Dayan again: "Even so, the instructor will not interfere with your battle, if you have different opinions, you can discuss and solve it privately." If you can't solve it, you can report it upwards. ”
Xu Dayan also raised his hand and asked, "I have a question, aren't we all under Yuan Gong?" What is the purpose of setting up the People's Army now? ”
Yuan Xi said: "Very good, you are asking about strategic goals. Lenovo Liu Chuanzhi once said a very famous sentence, 'Build a team, set a strategy, and lead a team'. With the organizational framework in place, the next step is to set strategic goals. But in fact, we don't have a leadership team yet, and I wanted to wait for this matter to be announced, but now that you have asked...... What do you think we can do? ”
Xu Dayan suddenly stumbled, and Li Ping, the smiling tiger, interjected: "Do we want to occupy the mountain as the king?" ”
Yuan Xi smiled: "Think bigger." ”
Xu Dayan said: "Do you have to be independent from Jizhou Mu and become a prince?" ”
"Bigger."
Lu Fang's heart beat violently, he steadied his breathing, and asked carefully: "Do you have to compete in the Central Plains and win the world?" ”
Xu Dayan immediately said, "Just us?" ”
Zhao Yun said: "Whether I fight for the world or not, I just want to ask for a military horse, go north out of Yin Mountain, and calm the border troubles." ”
Li Ping said: "If the second son becomes the emperor, we can also be a general." ”
Yuan Xi said: "When the emperor fights the country, it is too old-fashioned, what can he do when he fights the country?" This is also inconsistent with the name of our people's army. As a new army in this era, we have a farther vision and a more lofty ideal......"
