"Hmph, it's just talk." Liu Mingchuan strode away. It was just an ideological education class, a breeze passing by his ears, that's all. But he held the lecture notes written by Li Guolou in his hand. Here, it never hurts to read a tactical course. The battles commanded by Napoleon can also be used to study and discuss.
Although Liu Mingchuan was a private salt dealer, he looked like a rough guy, but he was actually very smart, had strong learning ability, studied hard and conscientiously, and could write eight-legged essays. He was a Confucian general among the military, and he also learned from civil servants in dressing up. After Li Hongzhang As a role model, Li Hongzhang valued him particularly, invited him to work, and trained him as his successor. He was not the kind of stubborn and stubborn person who could listen to different opinions, but for the sake of face, he would not give Li Guolou With a good face, I agree with some of Li Guolou's ideas. Learning from the strong and constantly striving for self-improvement is the way to govern a country and train troops. Li Guolou is right. Only when the will and quality are passed can an army compete with the strong. , Weapons and equipment are external factors, internal factors are the foundation. You must have a learning attitude, but you must not be content with others. Liu Mingchuan's analytical ability is quite good. He learned many new ideas from Li Guolou in one afternoon, and soon With the experience, everything becomes his thoughts and opinions.
Liu Mingchuan pointed at his master and said: "Master Fan, go and get the booklet on ideological and moral ethics compiled by Li Guolou. I want to see how much of his thoughts are reactionary and rebellious against our ancestors." Speech.”
Master Bianfan said: "Liu Gong, I have taken it. There is nothing new. New wine is put in old bottles. Even if the eight-part essay is changed into vernacular, I am not afraid of losing the face of being a Jinshi. Hmm, fake celebrity, really a villain. Even a scholar like me can't stand the sinister intentions." As he spoke, Fan Fan took out a booklet from his bag and handed it to Liu Mingchuan.
This is a thick book. Li Guolou put a lot of effort into writing the article in vernacular, which is much longer than the classical Chinese. The summary, analysis, and summary must be clearly explained. Unlike classical Chinese, it is not easy to remember. Vernacular is easy to remember and does not There will be misunderstandings. Although the ideological content has not changed, it is easy to understand and allows people to understand the meaning.
"This kid won't sleep!" Liu Mingchuan sighed, and couldn't help but admire Li Guolou's extremely high efficiency in doing things, unlike a Qing Dynasty man.
Li Hongzhang took a nap, sat on the imperial chair and drank tea, listened to Xu Qian's report on the content of Li Guolou's speech, and listened to Liu Mingchuan's complaints. He smiled casually and said: "Young people like to show off, Liu Liu, you are so big What do people care about with young people? Li Guolou has a lot of work on his hands and will not be permanently stationed in Xinwu Hall in the future. You still have the final say here. You are the main one ideologically and his system is the main one tactically. Let’s see what kind of fruit it can bear in the end.”
Liu Mingchuan had nothing to say. The idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism continued to flourish. He could only adapt to the existing new Wutang tactical system and study the tactical manual compiled by Li Guolou.
Xu Qian warned: "Liu Gong, don't get into trouble with Li Guolou. In fact, he is very easy to get along with. If you are kinder, he will not be arrogant. It is also a good thing for young people to be enterprising. You have seen what those aristocratic children are like nowadays." It’s a hundred steps, a smile is ninety-nine steps. Li Guolou married a few more wives, which did not delay the business, but was just a small mistake. If Li Guolou becomes taller, it will be dangerous, so Mr. Fu Xiang still wants to Put the burden on Li Guolou, do you understand?"
Liu Mingchuan laughed dryly and nodded: "I understand. I will run the new martial arts hall well. When Mr. Fu comes next time, I will personally direct the actual combat drills and let the old antiques in the Ministry of War see the power of modern military."
Li Hongzhang nodded slightly, appreciating Liu Mingchuan's hard work, and nodded: "Liu Liu Mazi, if you achieve something, the backbone of the army will be your disciples in the future, and funds, weapons, and equipment will be continuously provided to the new generation." Wu Tang, when the next few batches of children grow up and enter the new Wu Tang to study military affairs, the trees here will also become towering trees, and you will have the opportunity to do a great job."
Liu Mingchuan was overjoyed. The militants were thinking about fighting. They knelt on the ground and thanked him: "That's great, Mr. Fu Xiang. I will wait for this day to come as soon as possible. I will not slack off because of my official position and will fulfill my mission." , complete the transformation of military officers."
Xinwu Hall is the cornerstone of the modern military academy. Li Hongzhang wanted to break the system of prostitutes in the army. It was backed by Emperor Tongzhi and left the principal Weng Tonghe on top. The establishment of Xinwu Hall was controlled by Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang is now Wuyingdian The great scholar, the head of the Han officials, was extremely powerful, even more powerful than Prince Gong Yixin. His official career was going uphill, while Prince Gong Yixin was going downhill. His uncompromising status made him very high-spirited.
Li Hongzhang expressed his approval, waved his hand and said: "Watch the tea."
The three of them were in the living room, drinking tea leisurely, chatting about the difficult years in the past, and waiting for the sumptuous dinner.
At this time, Li Guolou still had no rest. He summoned all the school officials and management staff of Xinwu Hall to issue the "Reorganization Order".
Li Guolou took the newly written "Reorganization Order" and read aloud: "Xinwutang has achieved remarkable results since its establishment, but it has also exposed and produced some serious phenomena, such as corruption, corruption, waste, and the resulting The laxity of some military disciplines, the growing tendency of warlordism and the neglect of ideological work, the weakening of the daily work system of Xin Wu Tang, etc., all of which are extremely harmful and will risk losing the spirit advocated by Xin Wu Tang. It is hereby proposed to We are alert to the serious attention of our leaders and military agencies at all levels. We must maintain the fine model traditions of Xinwutang, such as hardship, unity of will, determination and bravery, and high political vigilance. This requires more arduous ideological work, which must be critical to all growth and development. Those who have only weak manifestations of various bad tendencies should be given timely corrective education until they are openly combated. All liberalism that indulges in bad tendencies may have bad consequences. In the ideological struggle, attention should be paid to opposing existing Corruption, corruption, laxity, and degeneration, and oppose the growing warlordism and the tendency to ignore ideological work and leadership roles. We must clearly establish budget and final accounting systems, strictly limit extra-budgetary expenditures, practice strict economy, and save office expenses, miscellaneous expenses, and Regarding food, fight against waste, strictly establish budget and final accounts systems, and overcome the serious crime of corruption and waste, taking advantage of vacancies, and under-reporting for more.
Regarding the issue of formalizing supply work, there are indeed many subjective and objective difficulties, but as for the minimum supply systems, it is possible and necessary to establish several minimum supply systems, such as financial budget and final accounts and All expenditure systems, grain budget and storage and distribution system, ammunition reimbursement, statistics, storage, custody, distribution system, uniform distribution, storage, distribution system, various equipment and public property distribution, storage, reimbursement, registration, statistics ,Use ,handover system, personnel and horse statistics, reporting ,system and other auditing systems and inspection ,systems must be strictly established. The establishment of ,these systems can, on the one hand, control the progress of ,all work in a systematic and planned way, and on the other ,hand, This aspect is sufficient to prevent the occurrence of corruption and waste. Corruption and waste are not only a major financial and material loophole, but also a stain on the Qing army. Therefore, we should correctly lead the fight against corruption and waste and strengthen this kind of education from all aspects. It’s Xin Wu Tang who often works.”
Li Guolou suddenly paused for a while, stared at everyone present, and said loudly: "Anyone who embezzles more than 100 taels of silver from public funds will be shot. Anyone who does not believe in evil can have a taste of my gun. Xinwutang does not need atonement money, military law is ruthless."
"Understood." Everyone stood upright, no one dared to touch Li Guolou's tiger beard.
Li Guolou asked several lieutenants, Goshiha, to issue instruction manuals and promulgate regulations to prevent and control corruption and waste by strengthening supervision, severely punishing and standardizing supply work. The instructions were mainly the "Order on the Establishment of the Economic Review Committee" and
"Instructions on Establishing a Strict Supply System", the regulations promulgated are mainly the "Regulations on the Work of the Economic Examination Committee" and the "Ordinance on Punishing Corruption."
In order to eliminate all corruption and waste, improve the material life of Xinwutang, and strengthen the honest and hard-working style, we decided to organize economic review committees at all levels and issue working regulations. We hope that all ministries will immediately and resolutely comply with the following:
1. Each department must quickly organize and improve its own organization and establish an economic review committee, organized by 5 to 7 people. At the end of each month, it is responsible for summarizing January's revenue and expenditure accounts, conducting a detailed inventory of revenue and expenditure items, and planning the next month's revenue and expenditure budget.
, use various methods to prevent corruption and waste, improve the material life of the school, and often supervise the implementation of this plan and check the extent of its implementation.
2. Each sentry team must establish the same "Economic Review Committee" (organized from 5 to 7 people) to purchase daily necessities for the school in a planned and organized manner. On the one hand, do everything possible (under the existing economic conditions)
) to seek improvements in food and other material life. At the same time, ideological work supervisors must often understand the economic situation of the students in the sentry corps, use propaganda and explanations and other methods to carry out conservation campaigns, and use education management and other methods to prevent the occurrence of corruption and waste.
3. Each branch should mobilize enthusiastically, explain the need for economy extensively and deeply, and call on every student to carry out this movement in an exemplary manner. At the same time, they should launch a ruthless struggle against corruption, corruption, waste and other tendencies and phenomena, and give strict punishment.
Deal with it and overcome it.
The "Economic Review Committee Working Regulations" divide the economic review into general review, special review, and extraordinary review. The general review is once a month and starts work immediately after the reimbursement of each ministry at the end of the month. It strictly reviews the economy of each ministry and all the income and expenditures belonging to the economy.
, special review is conducted at the end of each special income or expenditure. Extraordinary review is convened at any time when an extraordinary economic situation is discovered during certain work processes. If one of the following circumstances is found after review, the review committee may make an opinion
Report to the same level or senior leader for decision on disciplinary action:
1. Those who have indeed committed acts or attempts of corruption.
2. Those who engage in disguised acts or attempts of corruption.
3. Those who cause losses to the public due to waste of public funds.
4. Those who arbitrarily allocate public funds to seize private interests.
5. Those whose illegal income has caused great adverse effects.
6. Those who neglect business and cause losses to the public.
7. Those who secretly keep public funds and fail to report them.
According to the "Working Regulations of the Economic Review Committee", if one of the following circumstances occurs after review, the review committee shall refute it:
1. Exceeding the budget or spending more than the prescribed amount.
2. Although it does not exceed the appropriate budget and prescribed amount, there are unnecessary expenditures on its content.
3. Expenses have not gone through appropriate procedures, and reimbursement has not followed prescribed procedures.
4. Those who fail to submit the reimbursement after arriving at the reimbursement date.
5. It has been proven that there is indeed an amount of expenditure that violates the regulations.
6. Those who use their work to seek personal gain.
The "Economic Review Committee Working Regulations" also specifically stipulate that if one of the above-mentioned situations that should be punished or rectified is found, any senior personnel must be examined and should respond to questions sincerely and satisfactorily.
Complementing the "Regulations on the Work of the Economic Review Committee" is the "Regulations on Punishing Corruption" issued at the same time. Although the "Regulations on Punishing Corruption" of Xinwutang are not long, they are very clear and extremely strict: embezzlement of more than one hundred taels of public funds.
Those who exceed 50 taels to 100 taels shall be sentenced to hard labor or confinement for not less than 3 years; those who exceed 30 taels to 50 taels shall be sentenced to hard labor or confinement for not less than 1 year and not more than 3 years; those who exceed 10 taels to 30 taels shall be sentenced to 1
More than 5 months to less than 2 years of hard labor or confinement; those who commit 5 taels to 10 taels are subject to less than 1 month of hard labor or confinement; those who embezzle less than 5 taels are subject to less than 1 month of solitary confinement or a warning.
Any one of the following circumstances will be considered corruption:
1. Those who have been proven to have attempted corruption causing losses to the public.
2. Those who appropriate public funds for private gain.
3. Those who are good at selling public property to make money.
4. Those who use their work to seek undeserved money and material things.
5. Those who make arbitrary payments under the pretense of group requirements, causing losses to the public, and those who instigate others to embezzle will be considered as principal offenders. Those who engage in corruption and attempt to escape may be subject to additional punishments according to the circumstances.
Specially organize multiple supply training courses to train supply officials to eliminate corruption.
The "Instructions on Establishing a Strict Supply System" clearly stipulates as follows:
1. Establish a strict budget and final accounting system, decide to receive the next month's budget before the 25th of each month and submit it on time, and receive the previous month's report and settlement before the 10th of the next month. Otherwise, funds, budgeted personnel, weapons, and horses will not be released.
It must be accurate and consistent with the statistics of the United Front Work Department.
2. Income must be reported, and those who conceal it or fail to report it will not only be deprived of funds, but also be punished as corruption, and the main person in charge of the department will be asked.
3. In terms of expenditures, in addition to regular expenses as required, other expenses, if necessary, must make a plan in advance and submit for approval before spending, otherwise they will not be reimbursed. 4. Establish a strict audit system and review
Whether all expenditures are correct and whether there is any waste? If corruption and waste are found, a fight will be launched and the corruptors will be punished.
"Don't bother asking. Institutionalization and standardization are the foundation for the long-term prosperity of an army. Relying on me or the so-called great gods is all fake. Now I'm putting a tight spell on you, just to make you remember it.
"Stay here, wait until I get the scripture later, I will have no worries about food and clothing, share wealth and honor, and never forget each other. This is the principle of my life. Tonight I will use my own money to treat you all to a good meal and let the meeting end." Li Guolou.
He turned around and left without listening to the complaints from his men.
The army must be self-denying and dedicated to serving the public, otherwise it will degenerate. A modern army that dares to fight and fight must have iron-clad military discipline.
