To build a strong army, we first need proper military discipline.

Different military disciplines create different armies. The Qin army's military law was the most stringent, such as; The soldiers who surrendered to the enemy in battle were punished by "exterminating the three tribes". Leakage of military secrets is punishable by death.

Regardless of whether they are deliberately staying or unintentionally being late, as long as a combat unit fails to arrive at the designated place on time and delays the fighter plane, it is a violation of military orders and constitutes the crime of defaulting on time. The Qin Law stipulates: "If you miss the deadline, the law will be cut." ”

"Qin Law Miscellaneous Copy" has "Dun (Tun) Table Law": "The new army talks about attacking the city, the city falls, and there are still perched (late) not to the battlefield, suing the Japanese to die in the siege, and those who are sneering (false) are resistant; Dun (Tun) chief, Shi Wu Zhi (Zhi) Fu Xuan, Gan Yijia; Wu Erjia. "If there is a city that has not yet reached the battlefield and lies that he has been killed in battle, he shall be punished with a sentence of endurance, and those who know about it shall be fined first-class, and those who are in the army shall be punished second-class. The crime of failure to comply with the combat order and enter the combat post in a timely manner was punished by Qin Law according to the severity of the circumstances, ranging from the death penalty to the endurance of punishment.

"Shang Junshu Territory": "The people who are trapped in the team, face eighteen people...... can't die, thousands of people ring rules, admonished under the city. "Trapping the squad is a death squad, and if the death squad does not fight to the death, it will be punished with a stab in the face and a nose cut.

The cruel military law certainly made the Qin army powerful, but the disadvantage was that it was difficult to last.

A strong army is forged in a certain period of time, but this model is fatal - this mode of reckless militarism for a long time will one day exhaust the last bit of the country's foundation, and the tyranny of the law will eventually lead the people to the point of intolerability, so that the country will fall into a depression and collapse from within.

The military law of the Qi family army is also extremely harsh, except for the first offense, which can be exempted from punishment, and the slightest mistake in ordinary times will be tied up to 20 to 100. Singing is not allowed before going to bed; It is forbidden to incite nostalgia; Even prohibit all entertainment! Those who show fear during the battle are almost always executed; Gross negligence is also executed. If the use of a bird gun (arquebus) in an exercise or actual combat does not conform to the curriculum, it will be beheaded; If the captain finds that he does not report it, he will be executed together with the prisoners; Not only will you be beheaded for your own mistakes, but you will also be beheaded for dereliction of duty; After the war, if civilians and women are killed, including unassigned "thief women", they will be executed.

Not only discipline, but also strict hierarchy, in peacetime soldiers report to the officer, listen to orders, all kneel; The lower officials must also kneel down when they report to the higher officials and listen to orders. The soldiers sued the officers that in addition to deducting military salaries and rations, they would be tied up for 20 regardless of whether they were justified or not. However, if an officer commits a crime, an officer must be beaten if his subordinates commit crimes, and if their subordinates' grades are below the middle and lower levels, they must be beaten up. The severity of discipline is rare in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

This model is destined to only exist for a period of time and disappear later.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people wanted to reorganize the Qi family's strong army, but they failed one by one. "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training" are must-read books for warlords of the Republic of China or Kuomintang officers, who tried to create a new Qijia army to fight the Japanese invaders, but the ending was tragic.

There is destined to be only one Qi family army in the world, and there is only one Qi Jiguang in the world. The copycat version of Qi Jiajun, the copycat version of Qi Jiguang is destined to be beaten by the Japanese invaders.

Military discipline and military law are a double-edged sword, which is too harsh and difficult to persist for a long time, increasing the pressure on soldiers, and even inducing soldiers to rebel; However, if it is too lax, the army will easily lack combat effectiveness and even become beasts.

There is no such thing as the best military law, only the most suitable one.

…………

As soon as he thought of how to formulate military law, Zhao Pu was extremely sad in his heart.

Among military discipline, there is nothing better than the Red Army's "three major disciplines and eight points of attention." The three major disciplines, obey the command in all actions, do not take a stitch from the masses, and all seizures must be returned to the public. Eight points of attention, speak kindly, buy and sell fairly, repay borrowed things, compensate for damaged things, do not beat and curse people, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse prisoners.

Because military discipline is just a few dozen simple words, even if you are illiterate, you will remember it if you read it several times in a row.

It's not like the seven forbidden and fifty-four slashes, which are as complex and difficult to remember. There is no such harshness as the Qin army, or the Qi family army, which trains people into killing machines, and even destroys the cruelty of human nature, which can be carried out for a long time.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious.

The basis of the "three disciplines and eight points of attention" is to fight local tyrants and divide the land, although there is no military pay for being a soldier at that time, but there is land to divide.

But this is the Great Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is the era of scholars, and it does not inhibit land annexation, and land annexation is extremely powerful. If he fights local tyrants and divides heaven and earth, without the Jin army, the surrounding ministers and soldiers may kill him to the ground. In this era, they fought local tyrants and divided the land, but they got nothing but death.

Why did Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty have such a bad reputation? It was because he promulgated at that time that the gentry would pay for food in one piece, and the privilege of exempting bureaucrats and even scholars from taxation was abolished.

"It's hard, it's hard!" Zhao Pu sighed, it is very difficult to formulate military discipline.

…………

At this moment, it is already a day before the end of the battle. After the end of the war, the rapid evacuation, the battle was very rewarding, the 5,000 gold army was completely annihilated, and the 200,000 loads of grain escorted were harvested, which was enough to support the 100,000 army for two months.

This battle can be regarded as a great victory,

After the war, the whole army quickly withdrew into the mountains, and some of this food was reserved for military use, and some of it was buried in some mountain cols.

It was night, and while resting, the clerk came in and gave an account of the results of the battle.

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "Read it!" ”

The clerk stepped forward with excitement and began to remember the results of this battle. Among them, the seized armor, weapons, flags, war drums, horses, grain and grass, etc., are all recorded. Then he began to say that this time, the combat exploits of various squadrons, squadrons, brigades, and even various brigades should be punished, and some of the meritorious battles should be rewarded............

How to distribute the spoils of war and how to calculate military merits, Zhao Pu has also heard these stories from the seed master.

Beheading is only suitable for the ancient Qin State, or some scouts, or a small army to fight. When a large army fights, tens of thousands of troops, or even hundreds of thousands of troops fight, there is no time to cut off the head and count the merits, and the battle merits are often calculated after the war on the corpses of enemy soldiers on the ground, or counting armor, flags, etc. Most of them are demarcated by generals or supervisors and handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court is issuing rewards.

As for how many of them are greasy, it is needless to say.

And the junior soldiers, or low-ranking officers, have almost no military achievements to speak of, at most they are rewarded with some coins, or they eat and drink a lot, unless they kill high-ranking generals. Most of their credits are attributed to the superior generals, and the imperial court rewards these merits to the generals, and these generals occupy the lion's share, which is only a symbolic gesture of favor and buys people's hearts.

This clerk, named Cao Lei, is a down-and-out boy.

In the Great Song Dynasty, talent is everywhere. But Xiucai is not just anyone who can be admitted. He started studying at the age of eight, studied for fifteen years, and took several exams in the middle, but Lian Xiucai still did not meet the standard. In desperation, he walked through his uncle's relationship and became a clerk of the forbidden army.

This time, to rescue Taiyuan, he also became one of the troops who rescued Taiyuan.

In that assessment, relying on the hard life of his childhood, he exercised more on weekdays, and became one of the 8,000 elite soldiers. Because he was literate and hyphenated, he was appointed as a clerk by Zhao Pu.

And this time, the prison army asked what the seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings were, and no one could answer it, only him. Because of his good answer, he was reused, and he was responsible for checking the results of the battle and recording the spoils of war, and he also became one of Zhao Pu's henchmen.

Soon, Cao Lei finished telling the content.

Zhao Pu took the battle book, opened it and looked at it carefully, but asked in his eyes: "Secretary, I don't know how to distribute the spoils of war in peacetime!" How to tell the difference between battle exploits! “

"In this army, the distribution of spoils varies from army to army. For example, in the border army, most of them fought fiercely in Western Xia, and they were divided into three sevens, and the spoils were handed over to the public in seven layers, and the three layers were returned to the soldiers; For example, in the forbidden army, most of them are mainly bandits, and all the spoils of war go to the soldiers! As for how to distribute the merits, it is decided according to the armor, horses, tents, etc., or the rank of the generals killed........."

Cao Lei said with some hesitation, most of these things about the distribution of combat merits are done by the battalion generals or cronies in person, and they will not let him, a marginal figure, interfere at all. These things, the first time he intervened, he didn't know too well.

Suddenly, Zhao Pu shouted: "When recording the trophies and military exploits, have you ever been greedy for ink and accepted bribes?" ”

Cao Lei was immediately shocked, his heart trembled, and he immediately said: "Wronged!" ”
