The thieves in Xuanzhou were at least defeated in one battle, and they were basically wiped out after half a month of cleaning.
In some places, it is out of control.
Quyechuan (Kuye River), which was included in Linzhou, Shaanxi Province, and its tributaries Tumaochuan and Zhuolunchuan basins were all captured by Wang De last year. Because the forts were removed too quickly, some forts simply
They surrendered directly, and the tribes here had few casualties. They were also led by Yao Pingzhong to attack Xiangyou Army Division.
Officials in Linzhou's military and political systems did not engage in corruption and deprivation.
But after that large area was placed under the jurisdiction of Linzhou, Linzhou's middle and low-level officers, ordinary soldiers and government officials deliberately made things difficult for the original Xixia people, especially the large herders and landowners.
Although the people above have allocated relief food, the people below are stuck with it.
Tribal chiefs came to collect food and were teased and teased in various ways. In the end, they had to crawl under their crotches to give them bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.
The hatred accumulated over generations is too great and cannot be resolved overnight.
The purpose of blocking the food of those tribes was not for embezzlement and deprivation, but simply to take the opportunity to vent their anger and take revenge.
In order to prevent rebellion, the imperial court did not move the civilian and military generals here for the time being, and Yao Pingzhong still stayed in Linzhou to guard one side. He and Linzhou magistrate Hu Xiang had heard about the following things, but they only gave a few casual scoldings.
If the management is too strict and everyone is not allowed to vent their anger, it will cause resentment among the officers and subordinates.
The top management is not strict, but the bottom level is getting stricter!
Coupled with earthquakes and droughts, all the tribes in the Sanchuan Basin rebelled.
Yao Pingzhong dispatched troops to suppress the tribes, but the tribes fled without a fight and dragged their families across the border to Xihe Prefecture.
Played off.
It's a big deal.
The thieves have crossed provinces!
The magistrate and commander of Xihe Prefecture laughed to death when they learned about the situation. They did not have to bear any responsibility and could still take credit for sending troops to quell the chaos.
By the way, they also sent people to Linzhou to question Yao Pingzhong and warned Yao Pingzhong not to lead troops across the border.
Xihe Prefecture belongs to Ningxia and Linzhou belongs to Shaanxi. Everyone plays their own role. Anyway, this is not a giant bandit. There is no need for cross-provincial joint operations. The soldiers of Xihe Prefecture can wipe out the rebels by themselves.
When Yao Pingzhong received the official document from Xihe Prefecture, he was so angry that he roared, but he had no choice but to station elite troops to guard the state border.
The garrison in Xihe Prefecture won the battle and captured a large number of rebels, old and weak people and livestock.
However, many of the main forces of the rebel army were still lost, and they rushed west to the Hangjin Banner grassland in later generations. After a series of fusions, several tribes in the grassland rebelled, and soon more than 10,000 troops were gathered.
This place is under the jurisdiction of Shuofang Mansion, but Shuofang garrison is a bit far away.
The troops stationed in Xihe Prefecture crossed the border to pursue the enemy and won another great victory.
The prefect and commander of Shuofang Prefecture were furious. They had already sent out troops, but the war ended halfway, and not a single cent of military merit was gained. These guys were so angry that they wrote a letter to complain, saying that the friendly troops crossed the border without permission and did not say hello.
In fact, it's not finished yet.
A group of more than 2,000 remnant soldiers fled along the northern edge of the Mu Us Desert and plundered near Shengwei City in Dingyi Prefecture. They also linked up with the grassland tribes there. The number of rebels once again increased to more than 5,000, and
Crazy massacre and robbery of farmers on the outskirts of Weicheng in the province.
In the end, the armies of Dingyi Prefecture, Shuofang Prefecture, and Xihe Prefecture joined forces to continuously compress the space where the rebels fled, and finally wiped them out in Dijinze in the desert.
The Linzhou garrison that created this mess was never allowed to send troops across provinces - not only did they not receive any military honors, but they were also jointly sued by friendly forces from three prefectures. Yao Pingzhong was so angry that he retreated to the state city and became incompetent and furious.
Although the rebels were wiped out, they swept through three prefectures and one state, causing huge economic and population losses.
…
Imperial military and political meeting.
Only one cabinet minister came, Zhang Bor, who was in charge of military affairs.
All senior officials from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were summoned to attend the meeting.
Shi Yuangong explained the specific situation expressionlessly: "The captured farmers and herdsmen in Linzhou all said that they were forced to rebel. A small general of a hundred people in Linzhou dared to whip at will when he led his troops out of the city to patrol.
The tribal chiefs also forced those chiefs to kneel down and imitate the barking of dogs. When landowners and herdsmen went to receive relief food, they had to get under the crotch of the food escort officer..."
After hearing this, Li Bao chuckled: "Such humiliation, I would have rebelled against it."
Everyone in the meeting looked relaxed.
Because Yao Pingzhong had no backing in the court and the Yao family was based in Hehuang, the generals and soldiers were divided and reorganized during the process of de-warlordization.
Now, Yao Gu, who served in the Privy Council, has died of illness, and Yao Pingzhong has been transferred to three consecutive posts. He has worked with Zhang Guangdao for several years. He should belong to Zhang Guangdao's line, but his arrogance often offends people, and even has a relationship with Zhang Guangdao.
They were all unhappy.
This time, the generals of the three northern prefectures in Ningxia jointly sued Yao Pingzhong and placed the blame entirely on him. The root cause was, of course, that Yao Pingzhong had no backers and did not handle his relations with friendly forces well.
Pharmacist Guo glanced at the emperor secretly and suddenly felt that something was wrong today.
He is used to observing people's emotions, which is a life-saving skill he has developed over a long period of time in desperate situations.
Pharmacist Guo bowed his head and remained silent throughout the whole process. Long before the conquest of Xixia, he was transferred back to serve in the Privy Council. He was a transparent military official with some real power.
Pharmacist Guo quite enjoys this kind of life.
As you get older, it’s best not to worry about it. And you still have some power in your hands. How comfortable it is to spend your later years in Luoyang!
Zhu Ming had no expression on his face and said to Shi Yuangong: "Tell me about the permanent military supervisors in the former Song Dynasty."
Shi Yuangong picked up another document: "The military supervisors in the former Song Dynasty were often appointed during wars. The military supervisors in peacetime were capricious, with many orders, and it was extremely chaotic."
"At first, it was the Lu branch officer, the local governor, who supervised and governed the army and generals in various places. That is, the civilian officials controlled the military generals. Due to too many shortcomings, the Xifeng reform changed it to the general military law. Officers of generals and soldiers were set up throughout the country, and civilian officials were no longer allowed to do their daily work.
Moderation. At this time, the chief general is in charge of troop training and command, and the deputy general is in charge of dispatch and military law."
"Sima Guang overturned all new laws, believed that civil and military duties overlapped, and wanted to abolish the general and military laws. Although the former Song Dynasty court did not agree, it did not completely reject it. After that, some states and counties were dominated by military generals, some were dominated by civil servants, and some were dominated by civil servants.
All prefectures and counties, both civil and military, can make the decision, but some prefectures and counties, both civil and military, cannot make the decision.”
"This is a compromise made by He Xini. Not only is it not as good as letting military generals make the decision, it is even worse than letting civilian officials make the decision. There are many orders, and military law is chaotic. Civilian officials can control it, and military generals can control it. In fact, neither civil or military officials can control it!"
We formed an army, and most of the soldiers fled, but no one could be found to take responsibility. Because anyone can take charge, the civilian officials passed the responsibility to the military generals, and the military generals passed the responsibility to the civilian officials. In the end, the court had no choice but to let it go."
"At the end of the former Song Dynasty, capable ministers and generals pointed out this shortcoming, and the court of the former Song Dynasty also ordered reforms. But the more reforms they made, the more chaos they became!"
"First let the military generals make the decision, then let the civilian officials make the decision, then let the military generals decide, then let the civilian officials make the decision... Over and over again, there is no agreement. It is nothing more than that if the civilian officials are not in charge, then they will be replaced by military generals. If the military generals are not in charge, then they will be in charge.
They were all replaced by civilian officials. Sometimes it was changed once every five or six years, sometimes it was changed once more than ten years, and the military law was completely corrupted after repeated changes."
Everyone took this as a joke, because the military law of the former Song Dynasty was indeed too nonsense.
There were also a few people who secretly looked at the emperor and couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Ming knocked on the conference table: "The soldiers stationed in Linzhou humiliated and bullied the people at will, but no one reported it. What are the military judges doing?"
Everyone stopped smiling, understanding that the emperor was not only angry, but also wanted to attack the military legal system.
Ju Ming said: "The army in the Han Dynasty had military officers and military supervisors. Military supervisors were military judges directly under the imperial court, and military supervisors were military judges in each army. They formed a complete system of military supervision and military law. "Han Shu" has
There is a record that military justice is not under the jurisdiction of the general. If the general is guilty, it will be reported, and those with less than 2,000 dan can be directly punished!"
As soon as these words came out, even Guo Yaoshi and Yelu Yujian, who were paddling the whole way, were so frightened that they quickly sat upright.
The military commander of the Han Dynasty could actually directly punish a general with less than 2,000 shi?
Zhang Guangdao said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is impossible. If it is implemented, the army will be in chaos!"
"What Zhang Shangshu said makes sense." Everyone quickly agreed.
Ju Ming smiled: "Although this method existed in the Han Dynasty, no military official had ever dared to do it. At that time, the two thousand stones were at the level of governor and state shepherd, and each of them had family support. Which military official would dare to execute people indiscriminately?
It’s just reported to the court.”
But the military attaches could not laugh.
In the Han Dynasty, there was little distinction between civil and military affairs, and there were also family backers.
Nowadays, if civilian officials are allowed to serve as military commanders, they would really dare to directly execute military commanders.
Ju Ming said: "I want to set up a Military Supervisor in the Supervisory Council, and transfer some of the powers of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council to the Military Supervisor. Of course, it is not to take away the power of promotion, reward and punishment of officers, but only to take care of crimes in the army.
Behavior. The Supervisory Yuan establishes military supervisors, and then establishes military supervisors and supervisors in various ministries."
To put it bluntly, it is to establish a complete vertically managed military court system.
All criminal cases against soldiers will be handed over to military courts for trial. Military officers and military supervisors will not interfere in the daily affairs of the army, but only deal with the criminal behavior of generals and soldiers.
The central military attaches looked at each other, no one dared to say a word "no".
Because the emperor raised this matter not just randomly, but for a reason.
Today's military legal system does have problems. The commander and the military judge have been together for a long time and have become colleagues. They look up but never look down and turn a blind eye to many things.
A system of military courts must be devised that cannot be subordinate to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.
Before setting out to conquer Xixia, Ju Ming prepared to set up a supervisory army.
Now that a lot of things have happened in Ningxia, we have just seized the opportunity to implement the military supervision system.
It absorbed the advantages of the military supervision system of the Han and Tang dynasties, abandoned the shortcomings of the military supervision system of previous dynasties, and combined it with the modern military court system.
It is easy to deal with a few civil servants and generals. For an emperor, it is more difficult to establish a set of long-term viable institutional norms.
