Chapter 619: Difficult Requirements
Qin An continued: "This is not enough, the three disciplines and the eight points of attention are only a part of military discipline, and there are many more military disciplines.
As I just said, military discipline includes political discipline, organizational discipline, personnel discipline, propaganda discipline, secrecy discipline, mass discipline, battlefield discipline, foreign affairs discipline, financial discipline, and so on.
And these disciplines require every soldier to do the following: obey commands, orders and prohibitions; Strictly abide by the post and perform duties; Respect and love soldiers, unity and fraternity; The military appearance is strict and well-behaved; Be vigilant and keep secrets; take care of weapons, equipment and public property; Be honest and do not seek personal gain; support the government and love the people, and protect the interests of the masses; Abide by social morality, pay attention to civility and politeness; seized and returned to the public, and no prisoners were mistreated, etc."
Ying Zheng and the others were a little confused, if they were to obey the command, order and prohibit other requirements, they could still understand.
What is the proper manners, abide by social morality, pay attention to civility and politeness; They will not understand if they are captured and returned to the public, and if they do not mistreat the prisoners, etc.
They can understand and care for weapons and equipment, because this is the life of soldiers, and when they go to war, they have no weapons, they are lambs to the slaughter.
But they can't understand what this official duty has to do with war.
Ignoring the reactions of Ying Zheng and others, Qin An continued: "The replaced military discipline is a strict discipline based on political consciousness, an important factor in the army's combat effectiveness, and a guarantee for upholding the nature and purpose of the people's army, uniting oneself, defeating the enemy, and accomplishing all tasks.
To maintain and consolidate discipline, it is necessary to adhere to the principles of unanimity among officers and men, unity from top to bottom, strict management, strict demands, persuasion and education, enlightenment and self-awareness, impartiality and selflessness, and strict rewards and punishments.
Only by doing this can the Chinese army overcome the difficulties and finally defeat the army that is stronger than itself."
"What a hard request." Guiguzi said.
The knowledgeable Guiguzi can also be regarded as a member of the military family, and there are apprentices like Pang Juan and Sun Bin.
So he saw at a glance the difficulty of the new military discipline in Huaxia in Qin An's mouth.
There are some requirements that can be implemented, and some requirements that are difficult to do, not that they can't be done at all, but the general environment makes it difficult for them to do.
Let's just say that the trade is fair, and you don't need to think about it to know that once the money is handed over to the army, someone will definitely deduct the military salary and the food for buying and selling grain.
Everything is based on the interests of the common people as the highest requirement, which is even more impossible, whether it is the common people or the nobles, they all feel in their hearts that all interest should be dominated by the emperor, and then the nobles.
And the people were born to live for them.
As for the rest, it is even more needless to say.
Huang Shi sighed and said, "Although the military discipline mentioned by Mr. is very good, it is too difficult, and it is almost impossible to do it."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "It's really tricky, Lao Bai, do you have a way?"
"Take the good, remove the dross." Bai Siqi said.
"Old White." Qin An immediately said, "These are the essence, but there is no dross, these are all formed by the experience accumulated by the ancestors of Huaxia, how can there be dross."
Bai Si smiled and said, "Sir is right, if it is placed in the outside world, there is indeed no dross, and it is still very suitable.
However, for ten miles and eight towns, some conditions in military discipline are difficult to meet, since they cannot be met.
That's dross, and since it's dross, there's no need to keep it, sir, do you say?"
Qin An frowned slightly, and said, "I really haven't thought about this, what you said may be reasonable.
But in that case, let's change the status quo."
"Change the status quo?" Everyone was stunned.
Gan Mao said: "How difficult it is to change the status quo, I thought about it left and right, and finally thought of using money to develop ten miles and eight villages, and after having money, I can slowly change the status quo."
"It's not just business that's going on, it's agriculture and education. Why is military discipline so strict?
It's not just about military discipline, it's about people, it's about soldiers.
What about the military?
will accept such strict military discipline, it is because the soldiers are reasonable.
If you want people to be reasonable, then you have to read, and if you read more, people will be reasonable. The second is that the laws of the court should be fair and strict, and at the same time, the prestige of the court should be sufficient.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin also needed to whisper to the families to help solve the problem of food shortage.
Why did Tang Taizong keep his voice down? It's not because more than half of the officials in the imperial court are from families, and many of the country's lands are family.
In addition, whether it is an emperor or an official, there are only the people in their hearts, and they cannot be selfish, of course, even if they have selfish intentions, but they cannot undermine the security of the country, then they can also open one eye and close one eye.
Father-in-law, if you directly take over the ten miles and eight towns within two years, I can help you straighten out the officialdom and let you live the addiction of the first emperor through the ages."
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "I have long been an emperor through the ages. Do you still need to have an addiction?"
But he said, "Qin An, how will you rectify the officialdom?"
Qin An said, "I will remove the official position of imperial history."
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.
Others also frowned, but they knew the role of the imperial history, which was to complain about the injustice of the world, to put it bluntly, it was to hear the wind and do things, and sometimes when they saw the emperor doing something wrong, they reminded the emperor.
Sometimes officials do something wrong and are impeached by them.
Therefore, this emperor of the imperial history did not necessarily like it, but the officials definitely did not like it, so everyone was shocked.
Qin An explained, "The duty of the imperial historian is to impeach officials casually when they hear some rumors. If the impeachment is right, it will be a great achievement, and if the impeachment is wrong, there is no responsibility.
We are not afraid that they will impeach right, but we are afraid that the impeachment will be wrong, and once it is wrong, it will be a loyal and good general of the court, which will only lead to fewer and fewer loyal ministers and good generals for the court.
What is the use of keeping such an office?"
"Without the imperial history, how can the imperial court know about the affairs of the people?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Just set up an inspection court." Qin An said, "After the procuratorate receives news such as news or reports from the people, it can analyze these news.
For example, Lao Zhang was reported by someone and said that you accepted bribes, then the procuratorate got the news, immediately analyzed Lao Zhang, then secretly monitored, and finally directly arrested and interrogated, etc.
Of course, there is one point, you can't arrest people for too long, at most two days and two nights, that is, forty-eight hours, twenty-four hours.
Secondly, during the interrogation, the criminal law must not be invoked, and once the person is released, and the other party asks for an examination, then the person from the procuratorate will be responsible."
"How do you get people to tell the truth?" Gan Mao asked.
"With evidence." Qin An said, "If you can't find evidence for twenty-four hours, you can investigate for a month, if you can't investigate anything, either the procuratorate is incompetent, or the other party really didn't commit a crime."
