Chapter 148: Military Discipline and Military Song
A rebellion finally ended in blood, Liu Yan used Dai Jingbin's stupidity to wipe out the old forces in front of the Qianhu in Xiahezhai almost wiped out, and now everywhere in the Qianhukou in Xiahezhai, except for the new army, there is no old army.
After Dai Jingbin, Zhang Xueyi and others were ambushed, Hu Zongming, the integrity officer of the Lingshan Guard, also sent an official document, posthumously recognizing all the decisions made by Liu Yan, and asking Liu Yan to strictly govern the army to prevent similar things from happening.
Subsequently, Liu Yan ordered to appoint Zhang Lei, one hundred households of Wangjiazhuang, as the official of the former thousand households of Xiahezhai, and appointed Zhao Min, the copywriter of the one hundred households of Wangjiazhuang, as the commander of the former thousand households of Xiahezhai, and was responsible for all civil and official affairs inside and outside the thousand households.
Yue Ming, one hundred households of Wangjiazhuang, was appointed as the money and grain officer of the former thousand households of Xiahe Village, and was in charge of the money and grain reserves of the thousand households.
At the same time, Liu Yanping transferred Song Gongming, a hundred households, to be the commercial official of the former thousand households in Xiahe Village, specializing in the business of business.
After some personnel adjustments, Liu Yan completely controlled the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village, and in the Qianhu City, the original officials of the Qianhu City are now only one Baihu Tian Huixu who took the initiative to take refuge.
Liu Yan saw that he was in power, so he started the next step and began to reorganize the military discipline of the new army.
Liu Yan was determined to build the new army into a modern army, which was different from the old army at this time. The biggest difference between the new army and the old army is that the soldiers of the new army must know what they are fighting for and have iron discipline.
Therefore, after Liu Yan completed the personnel transfer, he did not rush to gather a group of subordinates to meet, but stayed in the Qianhu official hall by himself and began to draft the military discipline of the new army.
At this time, Wang Yunhe's body was already a little inconvenient, and under the service of Shang Shan and Ruoshui, he was also comfortable.
On this day, he saw that Liu Yan did not go to the office on business, but stayed in the warm pavilion and worked hard to write, so he curiously pushed the door in.
"What is my husband writing?"
Liu Yan watched his wife and concubines enter the house, smiled and beckoned them to roast the fire, and then said, "I am formulating the military discipline of the new army. ”
Shang Shan helped Wang Yunhe to sit down, and Ruoshui went to prepare the stove.
At this time, Wang Yunhe leaned over and looked at what Liu Yan wrote, with curiosity in his eyes.
When Wang Yunhe was in Wanfu Oil Mill, he was literate and open-minded, so it was not difficult to read.
"Three disciplines, eight attentions?"
Wang Yunhe asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?" ”
Liu Yan directly borrowed the discipline requirements of the Red Army in later generations, but the specific content was still modified.
"This is the new military discipline I have drawn up."
Liu Yan pointed to the written draft and said: "The three disciplines are the three iron laws of my Xiahezhai New Army: all orders are under my command, do not take the people's property, and all battlefield seizures must be returned to the public!" ”
"Whether these three iron laws are soldiers or officers, once they are violated, they will be killed!"
Wang Yunhe said with a smile: "You are too general, you should refine it, such as not obeying any orders to kill the head, how much property the soldier took from the people before he was killed, and how much he captured on the battlefield before he was killed." If you generalize like this, how can the soldiers in the army be convinced? ”
Liu Yan said: "Madame thinks that the imperial army should obey the order? ”
"Yes."
"Then should the court soldiers take the people's property?"
"Naturally, it shouldn't be."
"Should battlefield seizures be privately stolen?"
"That's not allowed."
Liu Yan smiled and asked, "In that case, what is the difference between taking more and taking less?" There is no point in not listening to any orders, as long as you violate it, you will violate the principle, and you will be killed! ”
"Madame doesn't know, most of the soldiers in the new army are illiterate, they don't know what the big truths are, and the military discipline is too complicated, not only is it very difficult to implement, but it will also be difficult to implement."
Liu Yan said: "So everything must be simple, as long as I draw the red line, as long as anyone crosses the red line, whether it is a foot or the whole person, there is no difference, according to the military law, beheading!" ”33
Wang Yunhe was dumbfounded when he heard this, it turned out that governing the army could still be like this.
So Wang Yunhe asked again: "Then what do these eight points of attention mean?" ”
The eight points of attention of the Red Army in later generations were: 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.
At this time, Liu Yan basically modified it and became: not to oppress the people, not to force people to buy and sell, not to destroy property, not to beat and scold soldiers and colleagues, not to damage crops and livestock, and not to molest, rape ~ adulterous women.
The first seven points of attention were all modified according to the original, but the eighth item: not to abuse prisoners, Liu Yan directly canceled it.
Who will the new army face in the future?
Is it the thieves and grass cowards inside the pass, or the Manchu Tartars outside the pass, such enemies are all crazy beasts, and they are treated preferentially? Liu Yan's brain hasn't rusted off yet!
So Liu Yan directly removed the eighth item, and then added an article: Be proud of being a martial artist of the Han family.
At this time, the status of martial artists in the late Ming Dynasty was very low, and there was a saying that a good man was not a soldier, and he would rather starve to death than go into battle.
Liu Yan just wants to use this article to remind the soldiers of the new army under his command at all times, as a warrior of the Han family, not only is it not a bad thing, but it is still a very glorious thing.
Of course, this sense of honor must also be based on material, so Liu Yan gave the officers and men of the new army enough arable land, sufficient supply of money and food, elite armaments and high military salaries, each of which is to tell the officers and men of the new army that you are the elite of the superior rank!
After listening to Liu Yan's explanation, Wang Yunhe only felt that he didn't know the husband in front of him, why could he see these things so thoroughly?
"Of course ......"
Liu Yan is still saying: "The original military law will not be abolished, but I will revise it, remove some unreasonable clauses, and add some new content." ”
"These three disciplines and the eight points of attention are the general guidelines, which are to demand the officers and men of the new army ideologically, and the other military disciplines are specific rules and regulations, so that the officers and men of the new army know what they can do and what they cannot do."
"What does it mean to think?"
Liu Yan looked at the studious Wang Yunhe and said with a smile: "Thought is, what kind of truth a person should understand." ”
"And what should these New Army soldiers know?"
Liu Yan also fell into deep thought, and after a long time, Liu Yan said firmly: "They should know, no!" It is we who should know that the soldiers should defend China and save the common people! ”
Wang Yunhe was infected by Liu Yan's momentum, and his heart jumped for a while, and then asked, "What is the husband going to do with the soldiers of the new army?" ”
Liu Yan chatted with Wang Yunhe for a while at this time, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds, and understood the direction of his future struggle: "That is to calm the thieves inside, destroy the Tartars outside, go up to the Kuang government, and go down to the people!" ”
At this time, Liu Yan wrote down these sixteen words while speaking, hugged Wang Yunhe, and said with a smile: "Haha, from today on, I will be tired of running around for these sixteen words as a husband!" ”
Wang Yunhe looked at Liu Yan stupidly, his heart was full of pride and admiration, although Shang Shan and Ruoshui on the side did not speak, but the two looked at Liu Yan's eyes, and they were also full of admiration and tenderness.
Three days later, Liu Yan summoned all the hundred generals, as well as Bai Tian Huixu, who was in charge of the camp drills in the army, and Xun Jingyun, the town control officer, to discuss the meeting in the Thousand Households Official Hall.
Liu Yan took out the new military discipline he had drafted and distributed it to everyone.
"From today, this new military law will be enforced. All the general soldiers and horses, up to the hundreds, down to the soldiers, everyone must strictly abide by it. ”
"This official has given you a month, and everyone is familiar with the new military discipline by heart, and they all have to memorize it. A month later, the magistrate led people to check one by one, and the soldiers did not memorize it, and the captain was fined three months' salary, and the captain did not take it down, and the flag commander was fined three months' salary. As for all of you, as long as someone under your command fails to pass the spot check, you will be fined three months' military salary, and you will lead the army with twenty sticks! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a wail.
But this is not over, Liu Yan continued: "A month later, I will inform the commander Zhao Min, and ask him to bring someone to teach you to write military law, you will have to spend two months to be able to write military law proficiently, and then the suppression officer will still lead people to spot check one by one, and the punishment regulations are the same as above!" ”
At this time, everyone wants to cry without tears, although Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Shen Tuo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming also know some words, but they are not too much, and it is difficult to memorize and write down thousands of words of military law.
But Liu Yan's attitude is unquestionable: "Let you memorize and write, so that you can keep the military law in mind, and you can consciously act in accordance with the military law when you practice and go out on weekdays." If anyone can't do it, they can't memorize it or write it down after three months, no matter who it is, they will be expelled from the new army, and the cultivated land will be recovered, and they will be driven out of the Qianqian Household in Xiahe Village together with their families! ”
Then Liu Yan added: "Including officers at all levels, no matter who it is, it will not be tolerated!" ”
Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Shen Tuo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming immediately cheered up and hugged their fists one after another.
"Tian Baihu is specifically responsible for the specific implementation of military discipline, and Xun Zhenfu is responsible for inspection matters."
Tian Huixu and Xun Jingyun hugged their fists together to lead the order.
But then Tian Huixu and Xun Jingyun glanced at each other, and both of them saw that Liu Yan was going to rectify military discipline, and they were both puzzled in their hearts: "Is this going to war?" What is this for? ”
But before the two of them could figure it out, Liu Yan took out another piece of paper and said to everyone: "This is the military song I wrote, and the tone is also marked with the five tones of the palace merchant Yu emblem horn, all the generals up to the hundreds, down to the soldiers, must also learn to sing, and the town officer is responsible for inspection, and the time and punishment are equivalent to military discipline!" ”
After speaking, Liu Yan even demonstrated and sang for everyone:
"You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying,
You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!
The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?
The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!
Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime,
More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.
An Bangguo, clean the dust, swear to sweep away the East slave without regard for himself! ”
After listening to Liu Yan's song "The Final Army of the Han Dynasty", everyone was enthusiastic, although everyone still couldn't sing, but in the end, they all sang along with the melody, Xu Ming and Miao Shao even waved their arms, playing the rhythm vigorously.
"After I go back, I will immediately teach this song "The Final Army of the Han Dynasty" to the soldiers, and a month later, I will hear the soldiers of the whole army singing war songs in unison!"
Some people died, but not completely......
