Chapter 15 Military Reform
Under the stimulation of alcohol, all the protons who were given new names entered a state of madness.
Xu Ping specially ordered Zhong Shiheng to pay special attention to this time, so that everyone can abide by the rules. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is not difficult to relax at the beginning. It is necessary to make the sense of discipline the instinct of these people. Only after enduring the painful days at the beginning can one have the capital to indulge. Now, no matter what matters or emotions, they cannot let themselves.
After walking around the camp, Xu Ping asked Zhong Shiheng and Zhang Zai to stay here, and he and Li Zhang went to the nearby Gaodaquan's military camp. After arriving in Qinzhou, Gaodaquan's Guiming Shenwu Army stationed in Qingshui County and Longcheng County, and connected with Fengxiang Prefecture, Longzhou and Weizhou to protect the retreat of Qinzhou. Sang Yi's Xuanwei Army stationed in Qinzhou northwest Chengji County, west to Ningyuan Village, and north to Anyuan Village, mainly monitoring the raw and mature foreign lands around Qinzhou. The original imperial guards stationed in Qinzhou were all assigned to the two people's names to the jurisdiction of the two. The troops under the Qinzhou Prefecture Office were mainly the wing army and some of the infantry soldiers.
Jingtai was changed from the original Xuanwei Army, Yuhou, to the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army of Guiming. This is the principle that Xu Ping has always adhered to, and both the army and the local government use the double chief system. It turned out that the system of the imperial guards was too rigid, and once there were many people in the politics, chaos would arise, so the generals in the border areas always emphasized that they would be authoritarian.
The military system of the new army should be changed, and the functional institutions such as command, training, organization, politics, and logistics should be added. It would be inconvenient to command the military system of the army. When he was in the capital, Xu Ping wanted to change the military system of the Xuanwei army, which aroused opposition from the imperial army generals. Now that he is on Qinfeng Road, no one is making noise, so of course he has to take action very early.
According to Xu Ping's idea, in the first few months, the imperial guards in Qinzhou should be rectified and reorganized into two combat groups with Xuanwei Army and Guiming Shenwu Army as the core. They are mainly responsible for the offense and are the mobile forces of Qinfeng Road. The Xiang Army and the Fan Army are reorganized and combined with local governments to mainly defend. In the past few months, the policy of Qinfeng Road also focuses on maintaining the foundation, not increasing the size of the bigger ones, and seeking peace and steadily steadily the hearts of the people around them first.
Gao Daquan and Jingtai received the news and waited at the gate early to welcome Xu Ping and his party into the military camp.
As soon as we entered the military camp, we felt a state of enthusiasm, which was completely different from the scene just now. This was the permanent camp of the Guiming Shenwu Army in Qinzhou, and they were also building houses, but their progress was much faster. The two armies on the Central Avenue of the military camp established many new wooden signs, with slogans such as "organized, disciplined, and obeying the command of the court."
Xu Ping couldn't help but smile. This was what he made Tian Kuang and Liu San change. The soil was indeed a little more rustic, but it was indeed useful to the army. With these slogans being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the new military system was being rectified in an orderly manner. The officers and soldiers in the army were trained during the day, built houses, and learned to recognize words at night. The discipline in the army is no longer guaranteed by severe punishments, but is mainly based on understanding by officers and soldiers, supplemented by punishment. Xu Ping asked the army to do it. The officers and soldiers who made mistakes must first feel ashamed from the bottom of their hearts, and secondly, they should be punished according to military law, rather than fear of military law.
How can people be afraid of death if they are not afraid of death? What the army wants is to fight soldiers who dare to fight and rush and not fear death. If they use cruel punishments to constrain them at all to fight and kill, they will conflict. First of all, let the soldiers know what to do and what not to do, be proud of their correctness and be ashamed of mistakes, which is the army that is truly for war.
Military law is only an auxiliary to the organizational discipline of the army. Organizational discipline cannot be maintained by military law, but should require the soldiers in the army to consciously abide by it. On this basis, strict military law can ensure iron discipline. If it is time to rely on strict laws to ensure basic discipline, then there is no way to discuss military discipline.
Gao Daquan was following Xu Ping, and was not surprised by all this. He had been with Xu Ping for more than ten years and had become accustomed to this practice. Jingtai was a little uncomfortable. In his eyes, this Guiming Shenwu Army always looked strange. Many of them were as rustic as the Xiang Army, but the strict discipline was even better than the imperial guards, and there was always a strange smell.
When he arrived at the commander's tent, Xu Ping'an sat in the commander's position. Gao Daquan and his generals sang Nuo. After the siege, Xu Ping asked the generals to retreat. What should we do to continue to work, and kept Gao Daquan and Jingtai.
After the soldiers got tea, several people sat down. Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan: "I have been in Qinzhou for some time, how do you feel?"
Gao Daquan said: "Since I arrived in Qinzhou, I have basically stayed in the military camp, and I haven't even been to Qinzhou City for a few times. I feel that there is not much difference between me and the capital. Moreover, there are no other imperial guards here to talk about it, and there is no point in pointing fingers between the Three Ya and the Privy Council, but I am more comfortable. To be honest, my life is much better now than in Yongzhou back then."
After hearing Gao Daquan's words, everyone couldn't help laughing. Jingtai said: "Of course in Yongzhou, the general was just a magistrate of a state, and his power was limited. Moreover, the military leader was only a military officer at that time, so of course he could not compare with the present."
Gao Daquan shook his head: "It's not just that. Although he was humble at that time, his life was still happy. Especially with Qi Ge and Huang Jinbiao, drinking and having fun every day, it was also a way of living."
"Yes, now you have different identities. If you have more people under your jurisdiction, you will inevitably have more worries." Xu Ping also sighed, "In Yongzhou, you were not officials of the court. You didn't have to bear heavy burdens on your shoulders, so you naturally wouldn't have to worry about everything. Now it's different. If you have thousands of people under your jurisdiction, you are a general of the front line. If you live a good life, you will naturally have more worries."
After saying a few gossips, Xu Ping turned the topic to the main business: "When I arrived in Qinzhou, there was no longer any restraint. In the past, the change of the Xuanwei Army's military system in the capital was not able to continue. Now we have to pick up the matter again. The last time we tried the military exercise, because the three yamen had no positions to arrange them, most of them became the lowest-level commanders in the imperial guards, and they were not satisfied with everything. This time, I came to the west and asked the court to come over. They went in formation and calculated the days, and it was time to come. When these people came, they would all be organized into the army and be the deputy chiefs, with their powers comparable to Zhou Qing."
Gao Daquan and Jingtai agreed with each other.
Xu Ping also said: "In ancient times, people often said that military discipline should be strict. Tens of millions of people are like one person. The commander's military order is like an arm commander. Today's imperial guards are in charge of military commanders, commanders, and commanders. They seem to be clear in hierarchy. In fact, once they are in battle, they are often confused. Of course, the reason for the arrangements of the imperial guards are stationed according to the command. They are in a hurry to form troops to respond to the enemy when they are in battle, and they are temporarily assigned to the chief general. Everyone has no idea what they want to do. But if they are prepared for the preparation, they are not prepared for the army. In fact, the root cause is that the army is not ready for war. When marching and fighting, there is a lot of tricks. How can the commander's military order be followed by the order? If you ask him to go up the mountain opposite for a long time, there is no way at all. What should you do if you have to walk for three or five days? If you encounter this kind of situation,
