Chapter 53: Discipline
Li Shiba's embezzlement of money and salaries and the robbery of people's daughters are both major events. Although Li Guo also strictly ordered this kind of thing to happen in the past, he did not clearly and systematically rectify it. Li Guo suddenly thought of a very familiar military song, that is, the three disciplines and eight points of attention. When the school holds sports meetings or military training, there is often a big chorus, and Li Guo remembers it very clearly.
The three disciplines are:
1. Listen to the command of a qiē action. 2. Don't take a stitch from the masses. 3. A qiē seizure must be returned to the public.
Eight points of attention: 1. Speak kindly. 2. Fair trading. 3. Borrow things and pay them back. 4. Compensation for damaged things. 5. Don't hit or scold people. 6. Do not damage crops. 7. Not ** women. 8. Do not mistreat prisoners.
It has to be said that the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention cover all the things that the military should and should not do, and they are extremely comprehensive. If the army can continue to carry out this way, it is inevitable that it will win the support of the masses. An army that enjoys the support of the masses is almost invincible if its own combat effectiveness is strong enough.
So, Li Guo took the lead and trained the soldiers to practice singing every day, singing the three disciplines and eight points of attention. The lyrics of this song are smooth, the melody is majestic, it is very easy to learn, and the purpose is very strong, and the soldiers learn it quickly.
Seeing that Li Guo did not kill Li 18 immediately, but led the soldiers to sing military songs, Li 12 was a little relieved.
Li Twelve went to Nie Xin, "Brother Nie, I think the Tiger Master will not kill Li Eighteen, if he wants to kill him, he will have to kill him a long time ago, and he still has to wait?" ”
Nie Xin shook his head, "It may not be possible, the matter was not dealt with immediately, but it seemed that the matter was strict." ”
"Can you?" Li Twelve said suspiciously, "But when Brother Tichun comes, he will presumably intercede with Master Hu." ”
Nie Xin shook his head and didn't answer, Nie Xin remembered the lyrics of that song very clearly.
The reason why Li Guo didn't kill Li 18 immediately was actually waiting. Li knew early that Li Twelve had already sent someone to the old camp to invite Liu Tichun and Huang Xiu, and Huang Xiu, as a sister-in-law, wanted to save Li Eighteen was just a gesture, but Liu Tichun's opinion was quite important.
After Li Guo set up his own door, there were Liu Tichun, Li Twelve, Gu Ying, Li Qiang and others who followed Li Guo from Mizhi. These people are loyal to Li Guo, but because of this, Li Guo has to consider their feelings, because these people are the backbone of Li Guo. If they have a pimple in their hearts, it will not be conducive to Li Guo's future development.
Therefore, Li Guo is actually waiting for Liu Tichun, he wants to persuade Liu Tichun, he wants to sue sù for this kind of strict violation of military discipline, if Li Eighteen cannot be severely executed this time, then how to deal with other people who commit it again? How can a ban be done? How can such an army compete in the world?
Liu Tichun finally arrived, very quickly. There was Huang Xiu with her, Jiang Yingrong accompanied her, and Huang Xiu was already very visible.
The generals received orders and came to the meeting.
Before the meeting, Li Guo called Liu Tichun to the inner hall.
"Body pure, what do you think of this matter of Li Twelve?" Li Guo looked at Liu Tichun.
"Brother." Liu Tichun's eyes were a little moist, "Actually, I really want to persuade you not to kill Xiao Eighteen, I really want you to leave a chance for Eighteen." ”
"Why wouldn't I want to! However, the eighteen crimes are all capital crimes, and if I can't handle them impartially, the impact will be too bad. If you really kill Eighteen, it's really a little unbearable. In addition, I was afraid that the brothers who followed me would say that I did not miss the old feelings. Alas! Li Guo sighed, "Body pure, how can this be good for me?" Li Guo shed a few tears, this is not Li Guo's coy posture, then Li Eighteen is what Li Guo has always wanted to cultivate, and he is indeed reluctant to kill him.
"Brother Li, in fact, I didn't come to intercede. I have always understood your mind best, and I can see that only by doing this like you can I achieve great things. In ancient times, which of the Ming Junliang generals was not strict in military discipline? Therefore, Li 18 should not only be killed, but also killed immediately! so as not to float the morale of the army. Liu Tichun clenched his fists.
Li Guo nodded, his worries were gone. As long as Liu Tichun supports himself, that qiē will be easy to do.
"Brother Li, let's go out, lest everyone wait for a long time and have doubts in their hearts. It's up to me to make a statement. Liu Tichun looked at Li Guo.
"Okay, pure body, that's it!" Li Guo's eyes were red, not only for Li Eighteen, but also for Liu Tichun's ability to understand his own painstaking efforts.
In the lobby, the general of Mi Zhi knelt on the ground, and Nie Xin and others also helped to intercede.
Li Guo didn't say anything, and Liu Tichun faced everyone.
"Li Shibai is our good brother, he has been with us since he was a child, and Master Hu and I care about him very much." Liu Tichun looked at everyone.
"However, for the mistakes committed by Li Eighteen, you should be killed!" Liu Tichun said, "Although Master Tiger can't bear it, he also agrees with my idea. We are the army, we are the army that fights the world! It's not a bandit, military discipline is a first-class thing! In the future, although he dares to violate military discipline again, Li Shibai will be the end. ”
So, after the proclamation of the whole army of Hequ, Li 18 was tried in Zhaozhen and publicly executed.
The repercussions of this incident were very great, and from then on, Li Guo's soldiers and even the members of the land protection regiment were able to consciously abide by military discipline, and who could be closer to Li 18 than Li Guo. Li Eighteen's head has fallen off, and others are not a problem.
However, Li Guo also increased some rewards, such as killing an enemy during the battle, rewarding ten big money, and so on. For officers, they were also given certain policies that allowed them to marry if certain conditions were met. For example, 258 ginseng, that is to say, when you are 25 years old, you have been in the army for eight years, and you can get married when you reach the level of a general.
In this way, while strengthening military discipline and giving policies, the army has taken on a new look.
Liu Tichun waited for Li 18 to come to an end and then returned to the old camp, where Liu Tichun reorganized the troops and prepared to cooperate with Li Guo's upcoming Fugu bandit suppression operation.
Going to Fugu to suppress bandits is actually an adventure, because that is tantamount to crossing the line. Fugu is not as good as the county seat of Hequ, and the civil and military generals of Hequ are all Li Guo's subordinates, while Fugu is stationed with another Ming army, which is also a thousand general garrisons. This is not easy to do, unless there is a reason to go to Fugu.
Bandit riots are a reason. It is a reason for the bandits of Fugu to make trouble in Hequ, and it is also a reason for the bandits of Hequ to go to Fugu to make trouble.
Therefore, the purpose of Liu Tichun returning to the old camp to train the troops was that they wanted to be bandits, and they wanted to go to Fugu to make trouble, they were chased by the officials and troops of Hequ and fell to Fugu to make trouble!
Li Guo was planning, but the bandits from Fugu came to Hequ first to make trouble, and it was none other than Zhang Ermazi, the younger brother of Zhang Da*zi.
Why did Zhang Er Mazi come to Hequ to make trouble, didn't he want to avenge his brother's murder? Of course not. Zhang Er Mazi sent someone to inquire about the situation of the river meander, and gasped in his heart. Therefore, when Li Guo gave Zhang Da*zi's head to him, Zhang Er Mazi thought about it for a long time and decided not to move.
Zhang Er Mazi is waiting, if Zhang Er Mazi sends troops immediately, Li Guo will definitely take precautions, and now things have been going on for a long time. Li Guo's vigilance will definitely relax.
So, Zhang Er Mazi ordered all the people and horses, day and night, and marched towards the river meander, their purpose was a small village in the river meander, and Wang Zhuang who had defeated his brother Zhang Da * Zi!
