Chapter 970: Strict Military Discipline

readx; Generally speaking, in a 'chaotic' world, the probability of death is of course much higher than that of the common people in the rear because they have to go to the battlefield. www.biquge.info So being able to disarm and return to the field alive is the luxury dream of the vast majority of ordinary soldiers.

However, the exception of the three major battalions after Zhu Youzhen's reorganization was made. Because of the disarmament and non-disarmament, the treatment is too bad!

First of all, in terms of food and salary, the current salary of the three major battalions directly inherited the policy of the Qin soldiers, and the monthly salary of the most ordinary non-commissioned officers was 10 taels, and the monthly salary of 100 households of grass-roots officers was 25 taels.

The 100 households of the three battalions are military attachΓ©s of the sixth grade, and the standard in the past was 10 stone per month. It seems like a lot, but when the salary is paid, it is converted into rice with money, and it is converted according to one stone and one tael. And the market price of one tael of silver can't buy a stone of grain at all, which is equivalent to a big discount.

What's even worse is that the money issued is not all cash, but "half of the money". The treasure money is basically waste paper, so the monthly salary that a hundred households actually got was only five taels of silver. In the end, the silver lost by the imperial court because of the empty salary greatly exceeded the silver saved by issuing treasure money, which seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers.

Now, however, the soldiers received all the real cash, and their income was much higher than in the past. Moreover, the salary is only one aspect, and the military rations are also provided in full according to the standard of two catties per person per day, and they are not included in the salary. According to the current price of rice in Jingshi, this is almost three taels of silver.

Compared with the "armored soldiers", the treatment of the "disarmed" soldiers who were eliminated in the martial arts competition was miserable. The monthly salary is one or two, and even the temporary workers recruited in the expansion project of the Beijing Division are not as good, and the food supply standard has also been reduced to one pound per day.

And the monthly salary of these two is not taken for nothing. The camps of the three major battalions were in disrepair, and the fortifications were in vain, so Zhu Youzhen asked these people to repair the fortifications.

In the beginning, these officers and soldiers were accustomed to being "old soldiers" and did not want to engage in such hard manual labor at all. There are many people who do not contribute to their work, those who are lazy when the commander is out of sight, and those who say strange things, and there are even a few ruffians who openly disobey orders and do not do anything by relying on their own affinity with a certain official of the DPRK and China.

If you want to put it in the past, the officer often has to weigh whether the person behind the soldier can afford to provoke himself. If you can't afford to provoke it, you have to coax these "soldier masters", otherwise maybe one day, you will lose your official position in a daze.

But now it's different, many officers have been replaced by Qin Bing's company and platoon commanders. Qin Bing's military discipline is so strict, besides, they don't know any officials at all, no matter who your third uncle and fourth uncle are, you can't disobey my military orders! First-time offenders will be severely punished with 20 military sticks, and a very small number of those who refuse to change their ways will be directly arrested and 'handed over' to the chief general.

The three generals were not polite, and they chose a day to beat drums and gather troops, and escorted more than 20 non-commissioned officers of the three battalions who repeatedly violated military discipline to the school grounds. Xie Sheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, said on behalf of Li Dingguo and Hao Yongzhong: "The three battalions are the army under the control of the Holy Lord, and they should be the most 'elite' in the country's official army. But the day before yesterday, at the martial arts competition, more than 60,000 of the 100,000 people were brushed down, and the third was gone! It shows that you used to take the country's money for nothing, but you did not have the quality of a soldier at all, shouldn't you be ashamed?

"If you want to be replaced by a general, all those who are laid off will be expelled from the army, what should you do! However, the emperor is 'dang', I am afraid that you will have no food and clothing, and you will still retain your military status and pay as usual, so you should be 'excited' in your heart. Shame is almost brave, if you strictly abide by the military order and behave well, you will have a chance to put on your armor again in the future.

"But there are so many scum who think that they can just 'mess' with the same life as in the past, and they openly disobey military orders repeatedly! Don't forget, you are not ordinary people, you are officers and soldiers, and you are the officers and soldiers of the three battalions! In the barracks, how can you wait for the wilderness? Chinese officers, what should these criminals be guilty of? ”

The lieutenant officer immediately replied in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, according to the military regulations 17 forbidden laws and 54 4th laws: complain more, anger the main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach more difficult to control, this is called building an army, and the offender will be beheaded!" ”

"Military orders are like mountains, since you are waiting to ignore them, you must not forgive!" Xie Sheng's face was like frost and said, "Fire the cannon and enforce the military law!" ”

Only then did more than twenty criminal soldiers know that they were going to cut off their own heads today. At this time, they panicked, most of them wailed and begged for mercy, but one of them shouted in extreme panic: "General, it is true that we have violated military discipline, but it is nothing more than laziness in work, and the crime will not lead to death!" Besides, the villain's uncle is a member of the military department, for the sake of his old man..."

"Shut up!" Hao Yongzhong, who was originally sitting behind Li Dingguo, said angrily, "I don't care who your uncle is, even the king of heaven!" If you violate military discipline, you must be punished according to the law, otherwise the order will not work, the ban will not stop, what kind of war will you fight? Back then, there was a battalion commander named Yang Maolin under Lao Tzu's account, who was a good man on the battlefield, and one person could top a hundred of you! But because he insulted the people's 'daughter', the saint who was still the king of the vassal at the time found out. The result? is still beheaded, and even Lao Tzu was demoted in rank because of negligence! …”

Li Dingguo on the side hurriedly stabbed Hao Yongzhong, which means that the emperor commanded the army when he was the vassal king, and it is better to say less about this matter. Hao Yongzhong came to his senses at this time, coughed embarrassedly twice, and said, "It's too late to say anything now, General Xie, please give the order!" ”

Xie Sheng bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "Execution!" ”

At the sound of an order, more than 20 heads fell to the ground one after another, and the officers and soldiers present were all terrified. Since then, no one has dared to disobey military orders, the speed of construction of fortifications has been greatly accelerated, and the arrogance of these "disarming troops" has also been washed away.

In addition to rectifying the military establishment of the three major battalions, how to deal with the military fields to which the officers and soldiers of the three major battalions belong is also a thorny and big issue. There are more than 200,000 registered military households in the three major battalions, with an average of ** mu of land per household, totaling nearly 2 million mu, and they are all in the vicinity of Beijing, which is a very important resource.

According to the original regulations of the military household system, military land was not required to pay land taxes to the household department. Correspondingly, the household department did not allocate military rations to the army, but only paid a small amount of silver, and the army's rations had to be self-sufficient.

However, now, the military household system has violated the original intention of the design, and the good role has not been retained at all, but the disadvantages have become more and more serious. The eunuchs and high-ranking generals of the supervising army used their power to annex a large number of lands of ordinary soldiers, causing many military households to lose their land and property, and they could not support the soldiers at all. However, the soldiers had no food to eat, so they would definitely not be able to fight, so the imperial court had no choice but to allocate food from the treasury to the officers and soldiers. In the end, they could not collect the land endowment, but also had to pay for the food, and they could not fall at both ends, and only those who held great power were cheapened.

Therefore, it is imperative to reform the military household system! ...
