Chapter 618 Military Discipline
"Jump down? Are they desperate for their lives?" Ying Zheng said.
"Of course they want their lives," Qin An said, "but in the minds of the soldiers, the interests of the people are above all else. Now as long as they jump into the Yellow River and block the gap, millions of people will be saved from disaster.
For the millions of people behind them, they didn't care about their own lives, so they bravely jumped into the flooded river, holding hands to resist the waves.
By the time the flood had passed, they were all exhausted. But they still haven't taken a single step from the people.
Even though the common people had prepared food, cooked ginger soup and sent it to the soldiers, just to put it in their mouths, none of the soldiers would reach out to take anything from the common people, let alone take a bite of the common people's food.
This is the policy of the country and the rules of the army.
China's military requires soldiers not to take advantage of the masses, but to put the interests of the people at the highest point.
As for the soldiers in ancient times, let alone taking a needle and a thread from the common people, it was better not to rob the common people of everything they had.
And many times, generals would arrest innocent people and behead them for the so-called military industry.
After the Chinese soldiers captured the city, they were very disciplined when entering the city. They would never enter the homes of the people. Even if they slept, they would only sleep on the road.
When the busy people got up the next day, they saw a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding weapons lying on the ground in various directions.
Do you know how the people felt when they found out? "
Everyone shook their heads.
Although everyone shook their heads, it didn't mean that they didn't understand, but that they didn't quite believe what Qin An said.
The soldiers risked their lives by jumping into the Yellow River, not caring about the masses, and even entering the city did not take action against the people in the city.
If such an army really existed, no one would be able to match this army.
Qin An didn't know that the other party didn't believe him, because everyone didn't know the mood of the people.
So Qin An slowly said: "It's because the people feel sorry for these soldiers, because these soldiers are just a bunch of children in their eyes.
And they don't believe it. They don't believe everything they see before them, because in their perception, whenever the army enters the city, it is like locusts crossing the river without any grass growing.
Their home will definitely be robbed by soldiers. Yesterday they even put away all their important things to prevent them from being robbed.
But now they saw that the army not only did not break into their home, they did not even knock on the door to disturb them. They just kept their clothes on and spent the night on the street.
When the common people saw this, they were all heartbroken. The vendors who were supposed to be doing business took out all the breakfast items, put wontons, noodles, etc. in bowls and brought them to the soldiers.
The soldiers refused one by one.
The boss even shouted loudly that it was free of charge and was given to the soldiers for free, but still no soldiers took a bite. Even though the soldiers were all hungry and swallowed hard looking at the wontons, no one took them.
Do you know why? "
Zhang Han said: "It's military discipline."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case, everything was a matter of military discipline.
The military discipline of future Chinese soldiers is really terrible.
Qin An nodded and said, "Yes, it's military discipline, but it's not just military discipline but also ideological consciousness.
The army has its own disciplines, which have existed in all dynasties, and the disciplines are very strict. In many military disciplines, beheading is a crime.
We also have that those who seriously violate military discipline are subject to court-martial. Military courts are where military personnel who violate laws and disciplines are dealt with.
Let’s talk about military discipline first. China’s military discipline includes political discipline, organizational discipline, personnel discipline, publicity discipline, confidentiality discipline, mass discipline, battlefield discipline, foreign affairs discipline, financial discipline, etc.
Military discipline is an important guarantee for maintaining a high degree of centralization and unity of the military, consolidating and improving combat effectiveness, and completing various tasks.
Therefore, China’s military discipline is very strict and divided into many
part.
The basic contents of Chinese military discipline are: implement the country's line, principles and policies; abide by the country's constitution, laws and regulations; implement the military's regulations and rules; implement the orders and instructions of superiors; implement the three major disciplines and eight points of attention.
In particular, the three major disciplines and eight points of attention are very critical.
Three major disciplines: follow orders in all actions, do not take advantage of the masses, and return all seizures to the public.
The eight points of attention are: 1. Speak kindly; 2. Buy and sell fairly; 3. Return borrowed things; 4. Pay compensation for damaged things; 5. Do not hit or curse others; 6. Do not damage crops; 7. Do not molest women; 8. , Do not mistreat prisoners.
As long as this is done, this army will be loved by the people.
Just imagine whether an army that is loved by the people will get help from the people when fighting on the battlefield, and whether it will be much smoother in recruiting troops in the future. "
Everyone nodded.
Ying Zheng asked: "But I want to know why speaking politely, dealing fairly, borrowing things and returning them, etc. are included in the eight points of attention?"
Qin An smiled and said: "Father-in-law, what is the people's army? To put it simply, it is the people's army. When talking to the people, does the people's army have to pretend to be a soldier?
As for fair sales, that is to say, when the army lacks something, the army itself buys it, especially daily necessities.
I know that in the army of ten miles and eight villages, everything is under the responsibility of the imperial court, and the food is delivered by the imperial grain transport team.
However, it is different now. Now it is just a matter of calculating the number of generals and the daily food expenses, and then giving the money to the army.
The military has a purchasing department, and they can purchase food, vegetables and other daily necessities on a nearby basis. In this way, time and effort are saved every time, and more importantly, waste is avoided.
I know that in ancient times, there was a lot of loss during the transportation of grain and grass.
Therefore, fairness in buying and selling must be written in the eight points of attention. The purpose is to make soldiers pay attention to their words and deeds at all times. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "If such an army can be trained, I'm afraid not many armies in the world can defeat such an army."
Qin An smiled and said: "I'm afraid no army in the world can do this, because this is the power of the people.
Unless a country wipes out the entire China, no country can do it. "
"That's well said," Ying Zheng said, "Facing a strong enemy, I, the people of China, will fight until the last soldier falls. Otherwise, I will not let any country insult me, China."
Everyone couldn't help but get excited.
Ying Zheng said it very well. As a Chinese citizen, we must shed the last drop of blood for China.
Everyone is also very happy. It is the prosperity of China that China can have such a powerful army in the future.
