Xin Qiji felt incredible about the victory of the victory army.
But then he thought of Su Yonglin, who was born in the Song Dynasty but came to the Jin Kingdom to rebel and made it clear that he did not trust the Song Kingdom...
He suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu, but he did not dare to ask Su Yonglin directly.
So after arriving at Dongping Mansion, he found out that the newly established Department Guidance Department was extensively training talents called instructors, and it seemed that they were specifically responsible for this part of the theoretical work, so he went to observe.
Tian Guizi did not stop him and asked him to follow him to observe.
While listening, Xin Qiji got a deeper understanding of this theory of superior men and horses, and realized that what he guessed was true.
The Shengjie Army did not think that their enemies were just the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, but regarded a group called the Superior People as their enemies.
The superior people are not only the Jurchens, but also all the evil-doing Han, Khitan, and Xi people. Not only the Jin Kingdom, but also the Song Kingdom in the south, Xixia in the west, and even the Dali Kingdom in the southwest. human existence.
The Shengjie Army's fighting method is to unite the farmers who are treated as cattle and horses, awaken their will to fight, untie their chains, let them be liberated, and join the Shengjie Army to fight together.
The ultimate goal of the Shengjie Army is to use the power of poor farmers to overthrow all the superior people and establish a country where there is no longer any distinction between superior people and cattle and horses, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment and share peace.
Overthrowing the Kingdom of Jin and taking back the Central Plains was only the first step. After that, there were more things to do.
In order to realize this common ideal, it is necessary to overthrow the Jurchen regime of the Jin Kingdom as our foundation.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to shed his life and blood, but also to overthrow the Jin Kingdom regime and initially establish a country belonging to all poor farmers.
So, the Shengjie Army was not just fighting against gold, but had a bigger plot?
Song, Xixia, and Dali were all within the target range of Shengjie Army?
And it seems that's not all.
Superior person?
Bureaucrats and powerful landlords?
Are they all enemies?
What on earth is Shengjiejun going to do?
Xin Qiji was more fearful than doubtful at this stage.
He suspected that he had joined a strange terrorist organization, because some of the contents of this radical thought and traditional Confucianism were completely different and even conflicted with each other.
However, the vigorous atmosphere of mutual help, unity and friendship among the Shengjie Army made him even more confused.
In such a group full of friendship and laughter, even he can feel the vigorous positive energy. After entering this group, everyone will be assimilated by such an atmosphere in a short time, become cheerful, and are willing to talk and laugh.
There is absolutely no strict hierarchy and lifeless atmosphere in the ordinary army.
Not to mention that the soldiers of the Shengjie Army get along very well with the people. It is normal for the army to go out collectively to help the people with farm work and chores.
And this is also a manifestation of the great harmony society described in Confucianism.
The Datong Society is the highest-level ideal society identified by traditional thought and has been highly praised by Confucian scholars of all ages. Its philosophy is that the world is for the common good, everything is publicly owned, and it serves the people of the world.
Be it power, property, or food, they are all owned by the public. This is the so-called path of the great road. The world is for the public, select the talented and capable, maintain trust and cultivate harmony.
Xin Qiji had not seen this in other places, but he had seen it within the Shengjie Army.
The Shengjie Army emphasizes that everything seized should be returned to the public, and all wealth should be returned to the public. Then the Shengjie Army will organize a fair and scientific distribution, and the distribution model is supervised by everyone.
Apart from normal military pay and rewards for military exploits, the soldiers of the Victory Army had no other source of wealth, but their lives were greatly protected and they did not suffer from hunger.
Just three meals a day is enough to surpass all other armies, not to mention other materials needed for daily life, such as clothing, sweat towels, etc., the Shengjie Army can provide soldiers.
Judging from these circumstances, Xin Qiji determined that the Shengjie Army had indeed accomplished such a thing as "capture and return it to the public and use it for public use".
No soldier thought that the return of captured soldiers to the public was an unreasonable provision.
Perhaps in other armies, they regarded captured items as their own private property, but after joining the Victory Army, they began to agree with the concept of returning captured items to the public.
From Su Yonglin to the new recruits who have just joined the camp, as long as they are in the military camp, their food and clothing expenses are almost the same, there is no difference.
Su Yonglin can eat meat, and the soldiers can also eat meat. Su Yonglin can eat dry rice, and the soldiers can also eat dry rice. Only certain units have different training intensity, so their diet is slightly different from that of the general army, and their treatment is better, such as Red Ax Camp.
This is also recognized by military regulations.
Nor are officers superior to soldiers in their daily lives.
Only on the battlefield and training grounds do soldiers have the obligation to obey orders. In daily life, soldiers are relatively free.
Xin Qiji basically never saw any officers in the Victory Army beating or scolding soldiers or lynching soldiers.
Whether an officer or a soldier makes a mistake, the military judges of the Military Justice Department will punish them strictly in accordance with military law, and will inform the entire army of the specific situation without any concealment.
After the punishment, if the circumstances are not serious, the officer or soldier is required to write a letter of repentance and read it in public in his unit, indicating that he has recognized his mistake, and then the entire army applauds to welcome him to change his ways and return to the large group.
This page was just opened.
If the problem is serious, it won't be that simple.
The Shengjie Army will never allow any officer to lynch soldiers. Once such a situation occurs, the problem will be very serious.
This has happened before.
A training officer got angry because several recruits were lazy and unwilling to get up early for training three times in a row, so he beat them. After the incident spread, the Military Justice Department immediately intervened and reported it to the Supreme Commander Su Yonglin as soon as possible.
Su Yonglin immediately put down what he was doing and came to deal with it personally.
The final result was that the officer was removed from his post and made an ordinary soldier. He was required to write a 500-word self-criticism in front of the entire army. He was also punished by having to clean up the feces in the military camp for three months. He also had to apologize in public to the recruits who were beaten. .
The recruits were also punished for not abiding by military regulations. After apologizing, their military memberships were revoked and they were sent back to their hometowns. Their family members had their military benefits revoked, all military benefits were recovered, and they were banned from working in the Shengjie Army or the Peasants' Association again for life.
It's like putting them on the blacklist.
Then this solution was made public, which caused extensive discussions within the Shengjie Army. Everyone believed that the result of this solution could convince the public, so it was generally agreed upon.
This also played an indirect educational role for officers and soldiers.
This is where the Shengjie Army is completely different from other armies, and it is also the place closest to the idea of Datong. The more deeply he understands this army and participates in the operation of the army, the more Xin Qiji can feel that this place is like a miniature. Datong society.
But their guiding ideology is not Confucianism, but the ideology of the striver.
Even Su Yonglin, the founder, had no respect for Confucianism and would even send out troops to forcibly attack Qufu County and use force to coerce the Kong family to serve as Qufu County magistrates.
This behavior of disrespecting the saint shocked Xin Qiji and was completely confused.
Why is it that this person brings Datong society so close to reality?
This sense of contradiction made Xin Qiji extremely confused.
What kind of organization is this?
Why is it so close to Datong society, yet seems so incompatible with it all?
Xin Qiji was eager to find the answer.
