Chapter 619: Difficult Requirements
Qin An continued: "This is not enough. The three major disciplines and the eight points of attention are only part of military discipline. There are many more military disciplines.
As I just said, military discipline includes political discipline, organizational discipline, personnel discipline, publicity discipline, confidentiality discipline, mass discipline, battlefield discipline, foreign affairs discipline, financial discipline, etc.
These disciplines require that every soldier must: obey commands and obey orders and prohibitions; strictly abide by posts and perform duties; respect officers, love soldiers, unite and be friendly; maintain a neat appearance and conduct themselves in good manners; be vigilant and keep secrets; protect weapons, equipment and public property; be honest and serve the public. , do not seek personal gain; support the government, love the people, and protect the interests of the masses; abide by social ethics and pay attention to civility and courtesy; return captured prisoners to the public, and do not abuse prisoners, etc. "
Ying Zheng and others were a little confused. If they were to obey orders and follow orders and prohibitions, they would still understand.
They don't understand what it means to behave properly, abide by social ethics, pay attention to civility and courtesy; return captured prisoners to the public, and not abuse prisoners, etc., they can't understand.
They understand how to take good care of weapons and equipment, because it is the life of soldiers. After going to the battlefield, without weapons, they are like lambs to be slaughtered.
But they couldn't understand how caring for official duties had anything to do with war.
Qin An ignored the reaction of Ying Zheng and others and continued: "The replaced military discipline is a strict discipline based on political consciousness. It is an important factor in the combat effectiveness of the army. It is an important factor in adhering to the nature and purpose of the people's army, uniting ourselves and defeating the enemy." enemies and the guarantee of completing all missions.
To maintain and consolidate discipline, we must adhere to the principles of unity among officers and soldiers, unity between superiors and subordinates, strict management and strict requirements, persuasion, education, enlightenment and consciousness, impartiality and selflessness, and strict rewards and punishments.
Only by accomplishing this can the Chinese army overcome difficulties and finally defeat an army stronger than itself. "
"What a difficult request." Guiguzi said.
The knowledgeable Gui Guzi can also be regarded as a member of the military strategist, and he has disciples like Pang Juan and Sun Bin.
So he could see at a glance the difficulty of China's new military discipline as mentioned by Qin An.
Some requirements can be implemented, but some requirements are difficult to achieve. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but the general environment makes it difficult for them to do so.
As long as the transaction is fair, it doesn’t take much thought to know that once the money is given to the army, someone will definitely deduct the military pay and the food payment for the purchase and sale of grain.
It is even more impossible to put the interests of the people as the highest requirement. Whether they are ordinary people or nobles, they feel in their hearts that all interests should be based on the emperor, followed by the nobles.
And the people were born to live for them.
As for the others, it goes without saying.
Huang Shi sighed and said, "Although the military discipline mentioned by Sir is very good, it is too difficult. It is almost impossible to achieve it."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "It's really difficult, Lao Bai, do you have any idea?"
"Take the essence and discard the dross." Bai Siqi said.
"Old Bai." Qin An said immediately, "These are the essence, but there is no dross. These are all formed by the accumulated experience of the Chinese ancestors. How can there be dross."
Bai Siqi smiled and said, "Sir, you are right. If you put it in the outside world, there would be no mess, and it would still be very suitable.
But for Shili Baxiang, some conditions in military discipline are difficult to meet, since they cannot be met.
That is dross. Since it is dross, there is no need to keep it, sir, don’t you think so? "
Qin An frowned slightly and said, "I really haven't thought about this. What you said may make sense.
But in that case, let’s change the status quo. "
"Change the status quo?" Everyone was stunned.
Gan Mao said: "It is so difficult to change the status quo. I thought about it and finally thought of using money to develop eight villages in ten miles. Once I have money, I can slowly change the status quo."
Qin An said: "It is not just business that is developing, but also agriculture and education. Why is military discipline so strict?
It’s not just about military discipline, it’s about people and soldiers.
Why are soldiers
The reason why we accept such strict military discipline is because soldiers are sensible.
If you want people to be sensible, then you have to read. If you read more, people will be sensible. Secondly, the court's laws must be fair and strict, and at the same time, the court's prestige must be sufficient.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin still had to humbly ask the aristocratic families to help solve the problem of food shortage.
Why did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty humble himself? It's not because most of the officials in the imperial court are from aristocratic families, and a lot of the country's land belongs to aristocratic families.
In addition, whether it is the emperor or the officials, they only have the people in their hearts and cannot have selfish motives. Of course, even if they have selfish motives, they cannot undermine the security of the country, so they can turn a blind eye or close one eye.
Father-in-law, if you directly take over the ten miles and eight towns within two years, I can help you rectify the officialdom and let you live the life of being an emperor for eternity. "
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "I have long been an emperor for eternity. Do you still need to have fun?"
But he said: "Qin An, how will you rectify the officialdom?"
Qin An said: "I will remove the official position of censor."
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked.
Others also frowned. They knew that the role of the censor was to complain about injustices to the world. To put it bluntly, he was to report the situation. Sometimes he would remind the emperor when he saw that he had done something wrong.
Sometimes officials will be impeached if they do something wrong.
Therefore, the emperor may not like this censor, but the officials definitely don't like it, so everyone is shocked.
Qin An explained: "The duty of the censor is to impeach officials randomly when they hear some rumors. If the impeachment is done correctly, it will be a great achievement. If the impeachment is wrong, there will be no responsibility.
We are not afraid that they are right in impeachment, but we are afraid that they are wrong in impeachment. Once they are wrong, they will be loyal ministers and good generals to the court. This will only lead to fewer and fewer loyal ministers and good generals for the court.
What's the use of keeping such an official position? "
"Without the censor, how will the court know what is going on among the people?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Just set up a procuratorate." Qin An said, "The procuratorate will receive rumors or reports from ordinary people and analyze the information.
For example, if someone accuses Lao Zhang of accepting bribes, then the procuratorate will get the news and immediately analyze Lao Zhang, then secretly monitor him, and finally arrest him for interrogation and so on.
Of course, one thing is that you cannot arrest people for too long, a maximum of two days and two nights, that is, forty-eight hours, twenty-four hours.
Secondly, during the interrogation process, criminal law cannot be used. Once released, if the other party requires an injury examination, the people from the procuratorate will be responsible. "
"How can we make people tell the truth without punishing them?" Gan Mao asked.
"Use evidence." Qin An said, "If you can't find evidence in twenty-four hours, you can investigate for a month. If you can't find anything, either the procuratorate is incompetent, or the other party really did not commit a crime."
