Chapter 56

Wang Xiaolie sat in front of the case, holding a big palm fan in his hand, where he approved the instructor textbooks compiled by the Chinese people in the army these days. The instructors from Wang Yan's army were all Lao Yu's army and were very familiar with the affairs in the army. What they taught was the daily use of the Song army at this time. The content was definitely not out of "The General Essence of Wu Jing", but the army had modified it in combination with reality.

"The General Yao of Wu Jing" was compiled by literati, and the system in the military was almost all-encompassing all equipment. The advantage is in detail, and the disadvantage is in practicality. The actual training system in the military was passed down by word of mouth, and the written article was too detailed.

At this moment, a soldier came in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "Little Sheren, Yang Ti led his people to do business and fought with the soldiers of Dong Zhengzheng!"

Wang Xiaoli put down his pen and asked, "Why did the conflict arise? What are the consequences?"

The soldiers said: "General Dong took charge of several soldiers to our stall for dinner, but after eating, he didn't pay. After saying a few words, he started fighting. Zhang Jun used a rolling pin to knock down five soldiers with knives."

Wang Xiaoli said "Oh" and stopped talking for a while. He stood up, walked for a while, and said, "What's going on now?"

The soldiers said: "Does of people went to the army of Dong and surrounded our stalls. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Tie hurriedly sent someone to report."

Wang Xiaolei said: "You go and tell them, don't take action. Of course, if Dong Zhengzheng fights in the army, you can't be beaten. I'll meet Dong Zhengzheng and wait for our news."

The soldiers crossed their hands and went there in a hurry.

Wang Xiaoli tied up neatly, took a few personal soldiers out of the military camp, and headed towards Dong Xian's army.

The two armies are in the same city and there is no direct superior control, so it is normal for conflicts to occur. It is impossible to calm down in everything. The key is to see how the main generals of both sides handle it. In Wang Xiaolie's impression, Dong Xian was also famous in history, so it should not be difficult to speak. Of course, if Dong Xian was domineering, Wang Xiaolie would not give in. Although he had few soldiers, if he really fought, the outcome was unknown.

When they arrived at Dong Xian’s military camp, the soldiers reported in. Soon, Dong Xian brought several generals to greet him.

When they were given the commander's tent, everyone sat down. Dong Xian invited tea and asked, "I wonder what is the important thing to do with Commander Wang coming?"

Wang Xiaoliu said: "The day before yesterday, I went to the commander army and said that the army is short of money and food, and I want to do some business in the city, but the commander agreed."

Dong Xian nodded: "Yes. Now the army is in trouble with money and food, so it is normal to do some rebirth."

Wang Xiaolei said: "I was busy in the army yesterday for a day, and today I set up a stall by Huitong Bridge to sell some food. Everything was fine, but I didn't expect the sun to rise. A few soldiers took their knives and went to the stall to have a meal but refused to pay--"

After hearing this, Dong Xian immediately changed his face and said to his subordinates: "Which army is it? Go and check it immediately! I found out and behead you immediately! Our troops stationed in Luoyang and have been strict with orders many times. Do not pay for food today, so wouldn't you burn and rob and plunder tomorrow!"

A general next to him stood up and crossed his hands to say yes.

Wang Xiaolie was startled. Unexpectedly, Dong Xianjun was strict in the central army. He hurriedly said, "No hurry, it's not a big deal. As long as we talk about the matter, we will educate our subordinates. Now we will connect to the bridge, but the two armies are confronting each other and no one is killed."

Dong Xian said: "We are the officers and soldiers of the court, the soldiers of the north to resist Jin, and protect the people of our country. The military discipline is not strict and everything is done. If our ruler is like the Jin army in the time, what will happen to the court? Commander Wang, needless to say, if such a thing happens, it will be killed! I will naturally make up for the losses of your army. Allow you to return to Yi in the city, including me, will also have to pay for money!"

After saying that, he said to the general who stood up: "Take our military orders and go to Huitong Bridge to kill the few who don't pay for meals! Other soldiers involved in this matter will return to the camp to fight a hundred military sticks!"

The general crossed his hands and turned around and went out.

Wang Xiaoli looked at the general's departure back and was at a loss for a moment.

At this time, the army was led by troops, and there were not many types of punishments. The most severe ones were killed, and the less severe ones were beaten with military sticks, and there were few other punishments. Wang Xiaoli originally thought that Dong Xian relied on his identity as guarding Luoyang to take advantage of himself. However, he did not expect that he was the one who was at the bottom of his own cause. When he arrived at Dong Xian, he would be killed.

Wang Xiaoli understood that the military discipline of the army must be strict. But he also understood that there must be no high pressure in the army. Only by grasping this degree can one truly lead an army. At this time, the army generally has the word "strict" to be strict. What it brings is high pressure in the army. In order to give soldiers a vent of their emotions, most troops require absolutely obeying the orders of superiors and choose to indulge in the invasion of the people.

It is often said that in ancient China, bandits were as bad as combs, and soldiers were as bad as combs. For the people, facing the imperial government army was more terrible than facing bandits. Of course, this is not absolute. In most cases, it is better to face the official army. However, this sentence shows that this situation is not accidental. Of course, it is not all that the leading officials have problems with their minds, but intentional choices. They require that their subordinates absolutely obey themselves, and the people's losses are impossible. If the military discipline is strict and they are required to be good to the people, superb political skills are needed, otherwise it will easily lead to mutiny.

In this era, almost no army could grasp this degree well. The closest thing was nothing more than the Yue family army. The saying that if you don’t demolish houses when you freeze to death, and if you don’t starve to death, you won’t plunder the enemy for thousands of years. But it should be admitted that the military discipline of the Yue family army was largely achieved by high pressure, rather than superb political work. The people welcomed the Yue family army and gave them support to their best ability. However, the Yue family army may not really love the people. After Yue Fei was killed, the Yue family army was as quiet as a sheep. Not only soldiers, but even generals rarely shouted for justice for Yue Fei, which shows that.

For example, the Yue Family Army relies heavily on Yue Fei alone. Without Yue Fei, the combat effectiveness of this army quickly declined and it was difficult to recover. This is the difference between the ancient army and the so-called modern army in later generations. There is a world of difference between the two.

The army that Wang Xiaolie wanted to bring out was the army of later generations. They may have inferior equipment, but they should try to get closer in their thinking. This requires not only strict military discipline, but also requires that the army cannot be under high pressure and soldiers must have their own channels. Now when they meet Dong Xian, they suddenly understand the huge difference between ancient troops and later generations. If they don’t recognize them, they will make big mistakes.

Why does the army in New China have political work? Why is it so important? If you don’t understand this, you won’t understand. An army that is not political will become like this. It is far from enough to rely solely on money and food.

Standing up, Wang Xiaoli bowed to Dong Xian: "Register, I'm a little bit unlucky when I come to see you this time. To be honest, in my opinion, to punish the soldiers in the army, we must first let them understand where the mistakes are and how they are wrong, and think about these clearly. Then let them understand what kind of punishment they are going to be. The important thing is to achieve the purpose of punishing the past and preventing the future and curing the disease and saving people. The word "kill" can naturally make the army tremble, but it is not enough. In the army, they are worried and scared every day, who would still want to join the army?"

Dong Xian said: "The commander, the first thing to do is to lead the army is strict! Who in the army? All of them are treacherous and cunning people! In the army, they must be as if they are stunning and dare not say a word of military order! Once we are lenient, the army will disperse!"

Wang Xiaoli looked at Dong Xian, not knowing what to say for a moment. He was just silent.
