"Looks like I need to explain the military regulations to you." Long Qian said, "You think that the essence of a soldier is the most important, oh, what is the difference between a soldier and an ordinary person?" ”

"Needless to say? There are martial arts. Lu Shan said with a grin.

"There are many high-rollers in the rivers and lakes who are outstanding in martial arts, and they are by no means soldiers."

"Wearing a military uniform, there are guns and cannons......" Feng Guozhu scratched his head.

"You're wearing military uniforms now, albeit robbed. Well, you have a gun, do you think you are a soldier? ”

"You don't have to test us." Wang Mingyuan said, "It's better for you to tell us." ”

"The biggest difference between soldiers and civilians is obedience. Obedience is the duty of a soldier. Long Qian said in a loud voice, "What is obedience?" Even once the order of the superior is issued, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he will rush forward without hesitation or flinch! This is the military. ”

Everyone looked thoughtful.

"Get rid of the three laws of killing, the eight military laws I have drawn up, the most important one is the first. The remaining seven were all implemented to guarantee the first article. If you can't do the first one, individually, you are not a qualified soldier, and collectively, you are not a real army. Why do you say that? As far as an army is concerned, sacrifice is inevitable, war breaks out, it is impossible for individuals to undertake the same kind of task, there are those who fight in the vanguard, there are those who are behind, the task is difficult and easy, there are fat and thin, sometimes someone needs to charge, to break the rear, to send to death, otherwise the overall victory cannot be guaranteed. Without obedience, the army will disintegrate. Just like the battles we fought, let's say that we need to wait until after dark to evacuate, both for the sake of time for the brigade and for our safe withdrawal, which is necessary. But Tianmen is such a small place, there are too many people to open it, who will go? You can't draw lots, can you? Therefore, the troops guarding the gate of heaven are sacrificing for the whole, which is necessary and worthwhile. Also, Lao Song and others need to stay and take care of the wounded, otherwise the wounded will not feel at ease, they have something to run, they will run out desperately, if they are caught by the officers and soldiers, they will confess the time and direction of the withdrawal of the main force, and the main force will face great danger. But Lao Song and the others are also facing the threat of death, fortunately, everything is going well, Lao Song and they all live until everyone returns to the mountain to reunite, but think about it, if Lao Song does not obey my orders, what will it look like? ”

"That's right." Zhou Yi said, "Actually, everyone knows the Tao, but it is not as thorough as you say. ”

"Okay, I'll talk about the next seven for the sake of Lu." Long Qian sat down, pointed his fingers, and began to explain one by one, "Why are you not allowed to fight privately?" Everyone knows that even if they are brothers, they will inevitably quarrel, and in order to divide the family property, the brothers have many opposite purposes. The common people don't care, it's just that they don't get along with each other. But not the army. As you said just now, we have both martial arts and swords and guns, and if we don't agree with each other with swords and guns, it will be difficult for this team to lead. Zhang San and Li Si were at odds, so they took a break to be Zhang San, but Wang Wu happened to be Zhang San's friend, okay, you dare to kill my brother, and when I find an opportunity, I will definitely kill you. In this way, we are not armies, but quacks, bandits. Even if Sun Dewang is in charge, he is not allowed to do this! He admonished everyone with brotherly righteousness, but it was low-level and useless. Some people may say that it will not change lives, and the biggest fight will be. What if you get hurt? This side is going to start fighting, and there are a few more injuries due to private fights? Military discipline must be used to restrain everyone. At the beginning, the violent Qin cut off the Six Kingdoms, relying on the Shang monarch's change of law, and one of the Shang monarch's regulations was that private fighting was not allowed, so the history books evaluated the Qin people, that is, the people in Shaanxi and Gansu are now brave in public war and timid in private fighting. Because a private fight will be severely punished by law. Of course, not daring does not mean that it does not exist, everyone is together, there will always be tongues, there will always be contradictions, oh, there will be all kinds of conflicts, what if there are contradictions? Relying on the commander to mediate means relying on us officers to do the ideological work of the parties concerned and help them untie the knots. ”

"The third article is mainly aimed at the people. As I just said, the vast majority of our people are from a bitter background, so please think about the situation before you went up the mountain and fell into the grass, as long as your conscience is not completely broken, you don't need me to explain this article more. In fact, this article contains a lot of content, such as treating the people, not only a matter of not bullying and robbing, but also treating the people as our parents and relatives, speaking kindly to them, buying and selling fairly, and trying to help them do things if they have the opportunity, plowing the fields, building roads, building houses, and doing what they can do. ”

Long Qian looked at it coldly, and saw that more than a dozen people had different expressions on their faces, but almost none really understood him, "I know that you must laugh at me for being pedantic, don't you?" Shi Jun? Pedanty, such a thing can only be said by you, a reader. But I know your thoughts, and if this is true to the common people, we are not bandits, but bodhisattvas. I'm right, we're no longer bandits, since we reorganized our troops, we're called Mengshan Army! And not the Mengshan bandits! The difference between soldiers and thieves is not our own decision, but the common people, who will distinguish who is a thief and who is a soldier! You will still laugh at me, I buy and sell fairly to the people, and we have no one to pay, where will we get the money? If you don't loot or plunder, you will starve yourself to death! Let me let Lao Song tell you, since the cottage was broken, we have fought repeatedly, and we have not robbed the rich households around us, let alone robbed the poor households, are we more money and less food in our hands? In fact, there is no need for Lao Song to say it, you also know it! So, to feed yourself, is not to rob a road. In the future, we will not rob or rob, but we will not rob ordinary people, and I will not be polite to those rich people and bullies who run rampant in the countryside and are rich and unkind. I tell you that the people are not chickens and ducks to be slaughtered, and when the people support us from the bottom of their hearts, we will have food and soldiers. When the people hate us and want us to be finished, we will not be able to move an inch. The reason why Mengshanzhai has survived for so many years is because the government is corrupt and incompetent, does not provide relief in case of disaster, does not help in difficulty, only knows how to collect taxes and send workers, and does not care about the life and death of the people. If the imperial court regarded the people as its own children, we would not have a foothold at all, even if Mengshan was ten times more dangerous, we would have been wiped out by the officials and soldiers! You may not believe it, but I firmly believe it! I dare to guarantee that there will be many violations of this article in the future, and other military regulations may be negotiable, and this military regulation will neither be canceled nor condoned, I hope that everyone here will not take that lead, at least your future in our army is over! ”

"It is forbidden to molest women" means that it is forbidden to molest women of good families. Don't you want me to talk about this, right? Who doesn't have a mother? Who doesn't have a sister? Who wants bandits to insult their loved ones? I've always stressed that you can't harm the people, and if you can't even do it without molesting the women of good families, this group should have been disbanded. Note that the women mentioned in military discipline refer to women of good families, which has already been made clear in my explanation. Long Qian said this, paused, "As for what is not allowed to prostitute for Lu, let's talk about it here." I have long known that I don't go to a brothel for what I said, and the words are very vicious, and I don't care about that kind of person, not to mention that they are all rumors. It's not that I don't want women, it's that I'd never share a woman with another man! It's not that I look down on those women, they all fell here for various reasons, I know this. If you had a choice, how many of the bitches in the world were voluntary? The fundamental difference between humans and animals is that they have a sense of shame. I advise you to also have a sense of honor and disgrace, what should be done and what should not be done, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, isn't it? In the future I will marry a daughter-in-law, and you will marry a daughter-in-law. Will you give birth to a lot of sons, and you will tell your son the story of your visit to the kiln? So, that's how the military regulations prohibiting prostitution are considered, and if you think it's inappropriate, you can also remove it! However, the prostitution money is paid for by itself, and the Mengshan Army does not encourage officers and soldiers to go to prostitution. ”

In fact, everyone was deeply dissatisfied with this article, but they were embarrassed to say it, Zhou Yi smiled, "The commander's intentions are good, but let's remove the prohibition of prostitution." We don't encourage it, and we don't have to block it all at once. Just like the rule that gambling and drinking are not allowed, I think you can also be flexible, just now the commander said that everyone will please their wives, so is it okay to go home? So, do you add the word 'in the army' to this article? ”

"Yes, yes, Captain Zhou is right." Feng Lun was the first to support. This military rule is too ruthless, drinking, gambling, and prostitution are all stopped, what is the fun of being a person? Zhou Yi added the word 'in the army' to this article, and the meaning is much more flexible.

Long Qian saw that half of the people present were concerned about Zhou Yi's proposal, so he said, "Since everyone agrees with Deputy Commander Zhou's opinion, you can add the word 'in the army'." ”

In this way, they were discussed, and the most important thing was to focus on the article that was not allowed to privately divide the spoils of war, "I know that you are actually most concerned about this article, and I want to see that it is also for the sake of the military order not to be false and difficult to enforce." So I think everyone's opposition is also out of good intentions, out of the interests of our group,"

This is the first time that Long Qian has explicitly used the word group, "I admit that selfishness is an innate nature that is difficult to change, at least I don't expect my subordinates to become selfless." But everyone must understand that we must learn to settle accounts and know how to maximize benefits. Now we are an army, with hundreds of guns, and we can be kings within a radius of 100 miles, and if we do a good job, we can develop from a few hundred to a few thousand, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and it is not impossible to dominate the world. But if we are defeated and destroyed, the vast majority of us will be killed or captured, and even if we save our lives, we will be rich and noble, and we will have nothing to do with you in this life. Therefore, everyone's selfishness and self-interest can only be guaranteed on the premise of the continuous victory of our army, otherwise it will be a dead end. But how can the army in battle be restrained if it is not forbidden to privately divide the spoils of war? How is victory guaranteed? There are countless examples of the victorious side in history being defeated by the enemy because of looting. Only when everything is seized and returned to the public can the soldiers abandon their temporary selfish interests and concentrate on fighting, because even if I don't rob them, my share will not be less. It's as simple as that. ”

"If you don't say it, do what the captain says." Wang Mingyuan, as before, took the lead in responding to Long Qian.

"There are some problems with what Mingyuan said." Long Qian smiled and said, "Once the military regulations are established, they are something we abide by together, and I, as a member of the Mengshan Army, will never be an exception." I hope that all of you will never ignore military regulations. Well, what else do you guys think? ”

There are no opinions for the time being, and everyone knows the reason for drinking and making mistakes, and it is difficult for people who are addicted to alcohol such as Lu Shan and Erhu to raise objections. Lu Shan pursed his lips, "Grandma's, I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye to wine in the future." ”

Lu Shan was demoted, Long Qian ignored him, but Wang Mingyuan privately persuaded Lu Shan to fight for his breath, "Not really." Wang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Didn't the captain say just now, there is an opportunity to drink, and it is forbidden to drink in private." Besides, at the moment, our cottage lacks this and that, and I don't want to drink it. ”

"Without further ado, are we going to discuss the matter of the military court?" Zhou Yi is very concerned about this, he doesn't have much contact with Long Qian, but Zhou Yi is a scheming person, since the cottage is dominated by Long Qian, and Long Qian is a person who talks about rules, then this court must not fall into the hands of Long Qian's cronies, in that case, his own power will be slaughtered.

"That's what Deputy Commander Zhou said." Long Qian nodded, "This is an important organ, and an iron-faced and selfless person must be selected as a military law referee." When you go back, think about who is suitable for this errand? ”
