Why not directly reorganize the system? Liu Bei also lacks talents. Not to mention other things, Liu Bei can't even get together the ministers of three provinces and six departments!
"In addition, my lord should establish a school and cultivate talents according to Liu Cong's example. We don't have books, but we have to use bamboo slips!" Yan Pu further advised Liu Bei.
"Lord, what Yan Pu said is true. We can't recruit children, but directly recruit men of appropriate age between fifteen and eighteen years old. After all, we don't have that much time!"
Liu Bei said with firm eyes, "That's it, Kong Ming, you are solely responsible for this matter!"
"promise!"
It's snowing again in winter, and heavy snowflakes are flying in the military camp in Xiangyang. More than 100,000 troops are all lined up here again.
On the high platform, there were not only Liu Cong and Jing Chu's civil and military officials, but also a naked man!
In the cold wind and flying snow, his back was covered with thorns!
"The last general, Gan Ning, did not run the army strictly, which caused his subordinates to behave like this. Please punish me, my lord!"
Liu Cong was sitting on the desk, with a roughly sewn cloak draped over his shoulders. This was made for him by Sun Shangxiang himself!
Although the stitching was a bit poor, Liu Cong was very moved when he saw several of Sun Shangxiang's fingers pricked by needles.
In Liu Cong's words, with the blessing of love, you won't feel the slightest chill no matter how cold the weather is when you wear it.
Liu Cong stood up and walked to Gan Ning and helped him up, "There is no need to do this to Xingba. There are inevitably a few ruffians in the army who don't know how to live or die. How can I blame you if I know what you are like?"
"Bang!"
Gan Ning knelt down again and kowtowed harshly on the wooden board, "I will never be able to show my lord the dignity of my life!"
"Come here!" Liu Cong shouted, "Hurry and get Xingba's clothes!"
After saying that, he helped Gan Ning up and said with a smile, "The big cloak on Gu's body was sewn by Madam herself, but I can't give it to you!"
A smile appeared on Gan Ning's red face, "My lady sewn it with my own hands, how dare I accept it? My lord is so lucky!"
"Hahaha, that's natural!"
While they were chatting and laughing, the soldiers took Gan Ning's clothes, and Liu Cong urged, "Put them on quickly. If you freeze, who will do meritorious service on the river?"
"promise."
After sitting down again, Liu Cong said to Pang Tong, "Let's get started!"
"promise!"
"Declared guilty!"
On the high platform below, there were not only the few men from those days and Captain Zhang Xu, but also nearly three hundred people! They were all criminals who Liu Cong had recently found out from the army!
"Xue Zhao, Li Quan, Gou or three of them committed crimes in the street, beating the tea stall owner and trying to rob the daughter of the people! Later, they even went wild and molested the lord's wife! As soldiers, they knew the law and broke the law, and they were honorary soldiers. They bullied the people and threatened to behead them!
"
Originally, Liu Cong planned to execute these scum Ling Chi, and his family members would also be punished. However, Jiang Wan believed that this would shake the morale of the army, so Liu Cong had to give up and behead them instead. Except for those who had committed crimes, the family members would not be punished.
Investigated.
"Colonel Zhang Xu allowed his subordinates to do evil, and he even embezzled the salaries of his subordinates wantonly and threatened to behead them!"
"Colonel Hu Tian..."
"Sima Fengguang..."
"The crime has been read out! Execution!"
On the execution ground set up under the high platform, more than 300 heads suddenly fell to the ground, and blood flowed around.
"The execution is over! Please check, my lord!"
Liu Cong nodded, "Herald the troops to come on stage!"
"The Lord has an order, and the troops are sent to the stage!"
"The Lord has an order, and the troops are sent to the stage!"
After the messenger came on stage, Liu Cong began to speak, "These people on the execution ground are not only unworthy of being human beings, but also unworthy of being soldiers!"
"I told you that soldiers must have a sense of honor! Some of these people bully the people you have rescued and helped. This has directly damaged the image of the entire army!"
"There are still people who drink the blood of soldiers. The soldiers train hard and fight desperately, relying on their little salary to support their families. They even dare to embezzle!"
"Tell me, should they be killed?" Liu Cong shouted the last sentence almost with all his strength!
"Deserve to kill! Deserve to kill!"
"Deserves to be killed! The child should be killed!"
The soldiers waved their weapons and responded loudly to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong raised his arms and signaled the soldiers to be quiet, "I also heard that some people in the army feel that being a soldier means they are superior to others. Just because they are serving official meals, they look down on the common people!"
"There are also soldiers in Xiangyang who look down on soldiers from other places, let alone those who surrendered!"
"I'm telling you, just because you've released your troops, you are soldiers! I'm not giving you such generous salaries to enrich your self-esteem, or to satisfy your so-called sense of superiority!"
"A soldier is a soldier. There is no superiority to others. Always remember to be loyal to the country and serve the people! Your obligations and benefits are the same!"
"Do you understand?" shouted again!
"I understand! I understand!"
"I understand! I understand!"
When the voice subsided, Liu Cong said again, "There are those people who look down on others, why don't you take a pee and take a look at yourself!"
"The whole world belongs to the Han family and all Chinese people. Why do you look down on others? Based on your knowledge? Based on your military exploits? Bullshit!"
"I'm telling you, as a soldier, if you don't even have this tolerance, just pack up and get out. You just need to know that no matter where they come from, they are your robes and brothers you can trust!"
"Remember me, as long as people from all over the world join Gu's military camp, they are your brothers and Gu's brothers!"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand!"
"In order to curb the bad atmosphere in the army, there will be no holidays this month! All soldiers on leave will be recovered! Give them a good training!"
"Are you convinced?"
"Submit! Submit! Submit!"
"Shi Yuan, tell them to disperse." Liu Cong's voice became hoarse.
"promise!"
"My lord has given orders, all armies should disperse slowly!"
Leaving a few generals to command, Liu Cong led the civil and military forces into the Chinese army's tent. As soon as he sat down, Liu Cong said, "If we want to establish a military law office, a gendarmerie department, and the education of soldiers, we can't just
Teach them how to read."
"More importantly, we must teach them the principles of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, protection, and service to the people! Strengthen ideological education about food to eliminate bad habits in the military!"
Pang Tong raised his hands and asked, "My lord, what are the functions of the Military Justice Department and the Military Police Department?"
Both civil and military officials were already accustomed to Liu Cong's whimsical ideas, and it was enough to ask what they were.
"The Military Justice Department is responsible for judging the crimes of sergeants and even generals in the army! The Military Police Department is responsible for arresting bastards who violate laws and disciplines in the army. From the generals to the soldiers, they all have the right to arrest! And they can investigate and interrogate based on hearsay!"
"hiss!"
The generals all took a breath. From now on, let alone doing anything illegal or disciplinary, even if there is a little bit of gossip, people can investigate you.
The civil servant didn't say much, but felt comfortable. Isn't that what he should do to restrain the generals?
Looking at everyone's reaction, Liu Cong continued expressionlessly, "Of course, if there is no solid evidence, the Jin Yiwei will catch the person who made the false accusation and behead the whole family!"
Now the military generals breathed a sigh of relief. If they could arrest someone for interrogation with just a little bit of information, would there be any way for them to survive?
"Not only in the military, but also in the government, the Integrity Council has been established to investigate and interrogate unruly officials specifically!"
Now, it was the generals' turn to rejoice in their misfortune.
