Chapter Seventy-Four: Hair Cutting Acting Chief
When everyone heard what Li Tian said, they all hurriedly stopped: "Lord, how can there be a reason in the world for subordinates to punish the lord. How can the Lord be hurt by the fact that the Lord has all the opportunities and the body of a thousand gold? It is all unfavorable for our supervisors, and we should be punished for our crimes and be punished with a righteous military style!"
Guo An was even more anxious and cried: "Lord, I want to be born again when the lord is immortal, and I have been given the exercises by the lord and taught cultural literacy, since ancient times: 'The grace of saving lives, the grace of the father is equivalent to regenerating parents, passing on the knowledge of the exercises to us, and it is our teachers, teachers, and parents!' No matter what it is, there is a responsibility to be a child, how can there be a sin for the parents? Let me bear this matter!"
Hei Laosan shouted even louder: "Lord, recently, I have been in the majority of my orders! My lord, you are very grateful to all of you here, and you are like our parents, and you can't take it for me. I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and I'm beaten up! Punish me, or behead me with proper military law."
Jia Yu and Xu Shu have just arrived, and they have not yet entered the military academy for transformation, but they have been ordered to attend this meeting, which shows that Li Tian attaches great importance to it, but after all, they are newcomers, and they have official positions, and they are humble and light, even if they have ideas in their hearts, they will not speak out, so as not to offend these arrogant generals, and Huang Zhong and they dare not speak out!
Guan Ning originally only wanted to be in charge of education, which of the great Confucians of the Han Dynasty had never studied the art of war and strategy, but he couldn't bear Li Tian's repeated persuasion, so he had to concurrently serve as a senior staff officer of the General Staff Department and a senior staff adviser.
Guan Ning was originally sitting in the staff seat, and when he heard Liu Ming and Liu Ming's remarks, he secretly praised him.
Hearing the generals crying and begging for punishment on behalf of Li Tian, of course he knew Li Tian's kindness to the generals, and he knew that most of the people in his sphere of influence were favored by Li Tian. It was the bystander Qing, who had already seen that not only the lord but also all the generals were full of arrogance, despising everything, thinking that they were invincible in the world, and the destruction of the first brigade of the fourth division was not a good thing, and it was this incident that reminded the lord and reminded the generals that it was not yet time to be proud.
Once the lord is righteous in military law, alerts all soldiers and soldiers, and keeps military discipline firmly established in his heart, he must always be in awe and cautious about military discipline, and the forces of Immortal Island will be smooth sailing in the future.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Li Tian: "The lord is high. The rule of the king is also good at understanding the law and observing the order. Those who have the law will be rewarded for their merits, and they will be punished for their mistakes, regardless of whether they are high or low. It is indeed a blessing for us to want to make clear his decree with the body of ten thousand gold! Military discipline, the decree must be so solemn and incomparably solemn. Only in the name of punishment still needs to be considered. ”
Li Tian listened to Guan Ningyi, and he was so angry in his heart. Li Tianxin said: All the generals are blocking themselves and don't want me to suffer, but your Guan Ning's words have made you sit down. However, who made himself willing to do so? This is no wonder Guan Ning. It's just that how can Guan Ning's words sound so familiar?
After hearing Guan Ning's words, some of the generals understood and some did not, but all the generals knew that the lord was going to lead by example this time. Now what the generals should study is how to convict the lord of the crime. If this crime is light, it will lose the meaning of the Lord to correct the Fa. But if this is too heavy, and it can't really wipe out the lord, it won't have much effect!
After the generals were in trouble for a while, the military discipline regulations made it very clear that those who drank alcohol in the barracks and caused serious consequences should be killed! Those who underestimated the enemy and caused serious consequences were killed! Finally, Li Tian was convicted of favoritism, conniving at his subordinates' drinking, belittling the enemy, and whipping 80 times.
The plan has been decided, and just as he made it clear to Li Tian, Guan Ning gently lowered his beard and stopped him: "No! Although the crime committed by the lord is indirectly caused, as the commander-in-chief, the crime is increased by one degree, and it is extremely serious, and not killing is not enough to deter the morale of the army and not enough to boost military discipline!"
When the generals heard this, their eyes were red, and they stared at Guan Ning as if they were eating people, as if to say, if you can't say a ugly man, beware of your dog's life.
Zhou Wen, the commander of the second division, was furious, rushed forward and grabbed Guan Ning's collar with his hand, and shouted: "If you want to kill the lord, I think you are looking for death!"
Seeing this, Li Tian shouted angrily: "What are you doing, quickly put down the official education department! How can the official education department harm me!"
Li Tian hurriedly walked up to help Guan Ning, Guan Ning was shocked, and glanced at Li Tian gratefully, he thought that the generals had torn him alive.
Guan Ning tidied up his clothes and arched his hand to Li Tiandao: "Since ancient times, the criminal law has not been used on the most honorable people, and the lord naturally cannot commit suicide, but he can punish himself, cut his hair and act as the head, and use the military law!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals smiled slightly, and praised Guan Ning one after another, but the prince Zhang Liang could not live again!
As soon as Jia Yu and Xu Shu heard this method, their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Guan Ning, secretly thinking, this is not without wisdom!
When Li Tian heard Guan Ning's words, his heart was secretly refreshed, since ancient times, the criminal law has not been used against the most honorable people!
At this time, he remembered the allusion of cutting his hair to act as the head, and Cao Cao stipulated when he sent troops to Wancheng in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "Generals and colonels, all who cross the wheat field, but there are tramples, will be beheaded." So all the men on horseback dismounted, and carefully helped the wheat across. However, Cao Cao's horses were frightened and trampled the wheat fields. He took it very seriously to let the officials of law enforcement convict themselves. According to the reasoning in the Spring and Autumn Period, the magistrate believed that those who held honorable positions could not be punished. Cao Cao said: How can I win the trust of the army if I make my own laws and regulations but I violate them? Even if I am the commander of the whole army, I should be punished to a certain extent. He picked up his sword and cut his hair, and told the three armies: "The prime minister stepped on the wheat, and he should have been beheaded as a beheader, but now he will cut his hair to act as the head." ”
The ancients paid attention to the fact that the parents who received the hair and skin of the body should not be damaged, and cutting the hair can be regarded as a major crime of unfilial piety, so Cao Cao cut the hair in front of the army to show military discipline.
Hehe, this is no longer Cao Apu's patent, but my Li Tian's patent, maybe the future generations of this world will also record the allusion of my Li Tian cutting his hair and acting as the head!
At the same time, I laughed secretly in my heart, the allusion to the head of the hair cutting has evolved into a ridicule of the punishment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in modern times, but from a modern perspective, what I see is the manifestation of privilege.
This method is exactly what I thought of, I didn't expect Guan Ning to actually propose this strategy, yes, promising, it seems that you have to squeeze him a lot!
In modern times, many privileged people have also played the game of cutting their hair and acting as the head, and when discipline or even the law is violated, they only symbolically apologize or replace the punishment of the law in the form of internal punishment. Under this privilege, the general public is naturally very dissatisfied, but there is nothing to be done. Just as Cao Cao's horse was frightened and excusable, who doesn't have the extenuating "love" of "cutting the hair and acting as the head"?
Li Tian thought of this and said: "As the lord, I violated the military discipline order, and I should have been beheaded, but since ancient times, the criminal law has not been used on the most honorable people, and now I cut my hair to act as the head." ”
After speaking, he paused and continued: "In order to demonstrate military discipline, deter the morale of the army, and educate all the officers and soldiers, the execution will be carried out in the military academy, and the results of the execution will be passed on to the three armies!"
Guan Ning, Jia Yu, Xu Shu, He Ze and other resourceful people were bright-eyed, and they secretly admired this wave of operations of the lord, which not only shocked the soldiers, but also deeply penetrated the weight of military discipline into the hearts of military cadets, and then naturally spread forever in the military academy and became the school motto.
Li Tian came to the military academy with a group of generals, and at that moment Li Tian gave an order, beat drums and gathered the crowd, and gathered all the cadets of the military academy to execute in person
Before the execution, Liu Ming said loudly to the soldiers and trainees in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the army, I, Li Tian, have been in order to protect the people from harm and to protect ourselves from being infringed upon, so that all of us, men, women, and children, old and young, can afford to go to school, learn cultural knowledge, and even provide for the old and have something to rely on! Today, however, we are already a full-fledged army! If the army is unable to do so, it will be in chaos. However, the concept of underestimating the enemy that I have formed over a long period of time and taking the lead in violating military discipline has led to the formation of an unhealthy trend of underestimating the enemy in the army, resulting in the total annihilation of the 1st Brigade of the 4th Division. And I've committed military rules. At this time, we have summoned everyone here to let everyone see that our army will strictly enforce military discipline in the future, and from now on, starting from me, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, regardless of whether the high or the low will be treated equally. ”
"As the lord, I violated the military discipline and caused serious consequences, and I should have been beheaded, but since ancient times, the criminal law has not been used on the most honorable people, and now I cut my hair to act as the head. ”
Li Tian spread his hair out, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Execution!"
As a result, after waiting for a while, the executing soldiers were trembling beside them, and they did not dare to upload the circumcision execution!
Seeing this, Li Tian shouted angrily: "Someone come, drag this executioner aside, whip him ten times, punish him for the crime of not obeying orders, and then another person will be executed!"
A few people immediately came over next to him, and they happily dragged the executioner aside and whipped him, but the new executioner pounced, knelt down in front of Li Tian and said: "Lord, parents who have suffered from the hair and skin of the body must not be damaged, cutting hair can be regarded as a great crime of unfilial piety, you should let people cut my hair instead! Or kill me to replace him, and I dare not touch the lord." If it weren't for you, my family would have died a long time ago. How dare I cut off my lord's hair, it's a matter of thunder and thunder!"
All the students, instructors, and soldiers on the martial arts arena also knelt down and said: "Please don't punish yourself, my lord, I will definitely abide by military regulations in the future!"
When Li Tian saw this posture, he was almost moved to tears, what a good soldier! He was playing tricks on them just now, he really shouldn't have been! Li Tian said with tears in his eyes: "I Li Tian has appreciated the kindness of all the soldiers and students. But this military regulation, whoever violates it is the same. Since I have committed it today, I should be punished. Get up, all of you!"
After saying that, Li Tian pulled out his sword, wiped it on his head, and suddenly a bunch of hair fell into his hand, holding it high!
The soldiers and students who knelt down suddenly had tears in their eyes and shouted: "Swear allegiance to the Lord, swear to defend the Lord------"
To be honest, Li Tiandu's impact on the first sentence of this hair cutting is estimated to be light. After all, none of these people have really cut their hair, which is a big unfilial thing. However, Li Tian's punishment this time was not unsuccessful. Later, not only the discipline of Li Tian's army was extremely strict, the military orders were like a mountain, and there were no disobedient people, but also the previous generals really grew up because of this incident and became a qualified general, strictly abiding by the general's orders, not impatient or impatient, all of which were influenced by Li Tian's hair cutting and acting head this time.
The next day, after Li Tian received the good news that Yuan Qing and Xiao Wan had defeated the Goguryeo attacking army, the opposing army was indeed mixed with Gongsun Du's army, and began to order, capture the four counties of Liaodong and the Goguryeo campaign began.
