Early the next morning.
In the huge school grounds, Lu Xiaojia was sitting on the reviewing stand in uniform, looking through documents.
The senior generals of the 1st Anhui Division were sitting on both sides of the school ground, while the middle-level officers all lined up and stood on both sides.
The entire campus was extremely quiet at this moment, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Today, most people in the military camp were awakened by the sound of gunfire. If you look carefully, you will find that there are many vacancies in the army above the school field at this moment.
"Deputy Commander Qiu, come up and read this document. I hope all of you will take this as a warning and prevent anyone from making the same mistake again and falling into my hands!"
"Yes! Master!"
Qiu Qinquan stood up suddenly, came to the reviewing stand, took the document, and then started reading the document aloud through an old-fashioned microphone.
"The commander of the 2nd Brigade, Cai Xukun, was found to be suspected of deducting 160,000 silver dollars from soldiers' military pay and also taking opium. He has been dealt with under military law."
"Luo Shan, the director of the Military Justice Department, was found to be suspected of accepting embezzlement of 120,000 silver dollars and has been dealt with by military law."
"Mo Wensong, the director of the Logistics Department, was found to be suspected of reselling military supplies for a profit of 320,000 silver dollars, which caused extremely bad consequences and has been dealt with under military law."
"Xiao Junbao, the deputy commander of the 6th Regiment, was found to be suspected of forcibly defiling a common woman, murdering a family of five, and has been dealt with by military law."
…
"Liu Dangda, the squad leader of the 3rd squad of the 1st platoon of the 5th regiment's 3rd battalion, bought and sold ordinary people's fields by force. Now he has been punished with three months' military pay after receiving 60 military sticks."
After Qiu Qinquan read the entire list, everyone realized that most of these people were involved in drinking the blood of soldiers and bullying ordinary people.
There is no way. In China during this period, the military discipline of most warlords' troops was not very good.
Otherwise, you may think that the saying "Soldiers are defeated like a comb, bandits are defeated like a grate" is a joke.
Drinking the blood of soldiers was common among many warlord armies. During this period, a veteran's monthly salary, plus food and salary, was about five or six silver dollars.
Note: Food pay refers to soldiers’ rations.
The military pay is about two silver dollars, but I would be grateful if I could get even one silver dollar for the military pay.
As for how much food and salary can be put into the stomach, this completely depends on the conscience of the logistics officer.
In short, during this period, it was common for many officers in the warlord armies to deduct soldiers' food and salary and line their own pockets in order to obtain benefits.
Both of these are very fatal problems. The former will lower the morale of soldiers and reduce the combat effectiveness of the army. The latter will cause the army to lose the support of the people.
The interests of the soldiers at the bottom must be protected, so this situation must be stopped in time, and the military discipline of the army must be strictly enforced.
Lu Xiaojia saw that the atmosphere was almost heightened, and stood up with a solemn expression, took the microphone and began to lecture.
"I think you have clearly seen what these people did and what happened to them. Some of the corpses are still warm, some are still lying in the dormitory with their buttocks covered, and some have been expelled from the army."
"First of all, I don't allow the behavior of drinking soldiers' blood to exist in our army. If anyone dares to interfere with the interests of ordinary soldiers, then I will attack your head!"
"Now, I would like to announce the new military discipline of our army, which is mainly the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention. The three major disciplines are to obey the command in all actions, not to take away a stitch from the people, and to hand over all seizures. The eight points of attention are and Others should speak kindly, and transactions should be fair. Do not buy or sell by force. If you borrow something from others, you must return it to others. If you damage other people's things, you must compensate others. You must not beat or scold others at will. You must not damage the crops of the lower class people at will. You must not molest women from good families. Prisoners cannot be tortured or shot, except of course the Fuso people.”
The army must not stand on the opposite side of the people. Lu Xiaojia knew that the saying "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" is not nonsense.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran to the school field with a gun on his back and said to Lu Xiaojia.
"Report, Commander! A convoy of several hundred trucks has just arrived outside the camp. The leader is a foreign devil. We have..."
Lu Xiaojia was overjoyed. Who else could this be, Rockefis, the war envoy of the system?
"Let them bring the convoy in immediately!"
