Chapter Eighty-Three: The Supremacy of Military Discipline
Zhou Shixian and Zhang Hong had just said a few words in front of the battalion office, and Zhou Shixian noticed the movement on the school ground, and immediately took the group of officers from the Wu'an battalion to come over to see what was going on.
He paid special attention to discipline in the army, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Zhang Hong, whom he valued, treated the military discipline he formulated.
He does not need to despise, or even ignore, generals who disregard military law and military discipline.
Zhang Dong and Chen Yu had already been controlled by the military lawyers, and the two did not dare to resist anymore, let alone look up at the battalion officers and horses, and they were even worried that they would be beheaded.
After all, it was just a matter of Zhang Yingguan and the concubine.
Zhang Hong asked a few simple questions, and quickly figured out what was going on, he didn't just listen to the words of the military lawyers, but also asked Zhang Dong, Chen Yu, and Huang Fa.
"Go look at the wound on his back." Zhang Hong turned his head to look at his guard, and then ordered.
"You two, don't you remember the military discipline when you beat the military lawyer?" Zhang Hong turned his head and asked in a cold voice.
Zhou Shixian asked every battalion officer to memorize the discipline and conduct in the army he listed, and to strictly follow the military discipline to govern the army.
For this reason, he also recognized hundreds of words, and now he often claims to be a cultural person, and even asked Zhang Huangyan to find some books to read to him, but in the end, because of his busy military affairs, he never turned it over, and one of them was also used to pad the corner of the table.
After Zhang Hong finished interrogating the three soldiers who committed the crime, he immediately turned around and asked Zhou Shixian's opinion, but Zhou Shixian did not give an answer after figuring out the situation, but asked Zhang Hong: "In military law, what is the punishment for beating a military lawyer?" Also, what is the punishment for the military judge who shoots too hard and injures the soldier? ”
"If you go back to the horse, if the soldier beats the military judge, the first offense is eighty sticks, one month's salary will be deducted, and the team will be placed on probation, and if the offense is repeated within a month, it will be beheaded for public display." Zhang Hong has already memorized military law very well, although he has not yet reached the level of thinking of governing the army with military discipline, but he has gradually developed this awareness.
"If a military judge loses weight and wounds a soldier, according to the condition of his injuries, he will be slightly injured with 40 military sticks and will be deducted from his monthly salary of 5 yuan, and if he is seriously injured with 80 military sticks, he will be removed from his post as a military lawyer and turned into an ordinary soldier and deducted from his monthly salary for two months. Zhang Dong was slightly injured, so he should be beaten with forty military sticks and deducted five yuan from his monthly salary. ”
Zhou Shixian listened and nodded: "Since there is a military law, then follow the military law." Otherwise, wouldn't this military discipline become an ornament? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dong and Chen Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and they were even more surprised that they had escaped death, they felt for the first time that military discipline also had a good side, otherwise according to those military law soldiers from the Ming army, they would have died a long time ago.
In fact, Zhou Shixian's punishment is already light, if it is really according to Qi Jiguang's art of war, all three of them will have to be cut.
Of course, if that were the case, a month ago, dozens of people would have been cut, and no one should make such a mistake today.
But after all, he is a modern man, and he does not approve of such a cruel method, so many of the acts that were originally going to be beheaded have been changed to fines and military sticks.
Of course, those particularly serious, especially wartime discipline, Zhou Shixian did not relax at all. Whether it should be loose or tight, whether it should be soft or hard, he has a standard in his heart, and he is not fooling around according to the only bit of humanism in his heart.
"Yes, colt."
Zhang Hong clasped his fists, and then asked: "According to military law, the corresponding army commander did not manage his subordinates well, and he should also be punished. ”
"All training is as usual, wait until the training is over."
After Zhou Shixian finished speaking, he looked around, looked at the soldiers and officers who looked over, and said loudly:
"You have all remembered that in this army, military discipline must be remembered, it can punish you, it can protect you, and whoever violates military discipline must be punished. But how much to punish and how to punish does not depend on the mood of the general, nor on the mood of the horse, but on the military discipline. ”
As soon as Zhou Shixian finished speaking, Xu Zhanghong immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Strictly follow the teachings of the horse, we will strictly abide by military discipline and never relax." ”
He was already a little shrewd, so naturally he would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Then, there was a shout from the mountains and the sea, and the other officers and soldiers in the school yard saw that the battalion officer Zhang Hong had already knelt down, so they naturally knelt down closely.
Zhang Dong and Chen Yu still didn't dare to raise their heads, but they were already impressed by the horse master standing in front of them.
"Those who should be punished will be punished immediately, and other unrelated people will continue to train, if they have just relaxed because of the excitement, they will also be dealt with according to military discipline!" Zhou Shixian said that, and then walked to the camp office, he still had something to tell Zhang Hong.
Zhou Shixian naturally came to inspect the military camp, but it was not only that, he had already instructed Lu Jiude to find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Dingguo, if it was done, he would directly lead his troops and horses to occupy Suizhou, Ningling and other places, and also give Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others a dismount, and casually win over and deter.
If it doesn't work, it will have to be attacked.
The strategic location of Suizhou, Ningling, Guide and other places is very important, it is the original history of Duoduo concentrated troops and horses, and then led tens of thousands of Qing troops to attack the south, if Zhou Shixian can take it in advance, it can also block the Qing army in these places and consume the morale of the other party.
And in any case, he must come out, Xue Lao Er sits in Yangzhou, coordinates the military affairs of the three governments, naturally cannot be sent, in addition to Xue Lao Er, the remaining seven battalions are Zhang Hong is the most suitable.
"Lao Zhang, your training is still good, and some problems are normal, after all, it's only been a month, and most of them are still recruits."
Zhou Shixian paused, and then continued: "If nothing else, in four months, take your soldiers and horses to the north." ”
"Horse, are you going to fight the tartar?"
Zhang Hong was surprised and happy in his heart, but he was also a little worried, after all, according to the current progress, his soldiers would only complete their basic training in four months, and they didn't even know if the weapons and equipment were complete, how could they fight with the Tartars?
He is not afraid of Tartars, but fighting a war is not a question of fear, it is a question of how to win.
"It's not about fighting Tartars, fighting rebels, practicing hands."
Zhou Shixian raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to worry about military discipline and training, equipment and supplies." In four months, you will be sure to have it all. ”
"Yes, colt." Hearing that it was a rebel fight, Xu Zhibiao's heart was relieved, and he hugged his fists again.
"What is still lacking in the army?"
After Zhou Shixian finished talking about sending troops, he immediately turned back to the issue of army training and supplies: "In addition to armor and firearms, can the soldiers' physical fitness keep up?" ”
