Chapter 29 Reorganizing Military Discipline
At any time, the most fearful thing is that law enforcers know the law and break it. Law enforcers who ignore laws are more terrifying than lawbreakers.
Not long after, some government officials from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and a few soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion saw some pretty female refugees while patrolling, so they used meat as bait and made some skin-to-flesh deals with them, doing shameless things.
activities.
After the incident broke out, Zhu Cixi ordered several soldiers to be killed in public, and strictly ordered that any brave soldiers in the guard camp who bullied the weak and put themselves in danger would be killed in the same manner and would not be tolerated.
Regarding Zhu Cixiang's order, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan expressed their firm support and personally supervised it. Both of them had been in the army for many years and both knew the importance of discipline. The discipline of an army is more important than combat effectiveness.
From ancient times to the present, all strong armies have a common characteristic, which is strict military discipline. The Yue Jiajun and Qi Jiajun are not about the strength of individual combat capabilities of the soldiers, but strict military discipline.
The most important thing is to strictly obey the military orders on the battlefield, march forward according to the command flag, and move forward without any change in face, even if the mountains are overwhelming you.
Whenever an army loses a battle, the front army is basically defeated, and then the whole army collapses. The people behind don't even know what's going on in front, and they follow suit when they see others running.
Today's Ming army, in most cases, swarms in when they win and flees thousands of miles when they lose. Even the generals with excellent command cannot reverse this vicious situation.
If military discipline is strict and no one retreats, even if they are outnumbered, they can still cause huge damage to the enemy. No one dares to fight with such an army easily.
Most of the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty were inherited from the previous dynasties, which seemed too complicated. Basically, beheadings were necessary for any trouble. It looked scary, but the actual operability was very low.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong decided to re-promulgate military regulations and strictly enforce military discipline. Zhu Cihong learned from the Yue Jiajun and Qi Jiajun, and combined with later generations, simplified the complicated military regulations into seven main items, called the "Seven Kill Orders".
On the second day, Zhu Cixi ordered everyone in the Yongwei camp to gather at the school grounds. Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, and various guerrilla generals from the Yongwei camp, including General Qian, General Commander, and General Bai, were all present. Even the supervisors Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin were also present.
.
On the school field outside the Yongwei Camp, five thousand soldiers stood upright, all looking at Zhu Cihong on the stage with burning eyes. The presence of the Crown Prince in person was second only to the importance of the Emperor's chariot. In this era, no one dared not to
Pay attention to.
Zhu Cihong asked the general to select dozens of soldiers with loud voices and stand at the front of each queue, and then ordered Huang Degong to read the Seven Kill Order in public.
Huang Degong's face was serious, he glanced at the thousands of soldiers in the audience, and then said: "According to the imperial decree, the military regulations "Seven Kill Orders" were issued to the Yongwei Camp to show military discipline. The military regulations are as follows:
Those who are disloyal and unjust and surrender to the enemy and traitor shall be killed!
Anyone who slanders the general and refuses to obey orders will be killed!
Those who are afraid of the enemy and refuse to advance before the battle, kill them!
Anyone who leaks military aircraft or lies about military information will be killed!
Those who steal property or take military honors from others shall be killed!
Those who gather to cause trouble and cholera the military morale will be killed!
Those who bully the people, commit adultery and plunder, kill them!
Every time Huang Degong recited a sentence, dozens of loud voices in front of the queue recited it again, striving to be heard by every soldier in the Yongwei Battalion.
Every word kill is like a giant hammer hitting people's hearts, making people shiver.
Huang Degong continued: "Anyone who belongs to our Yongwei camp, from the supervising army general to the ordinary soldier, but anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy!"
Zhu Cixiang required everyone in the Yongwei camp to recite proficiently and check regularly. If someone could not recite or recited it incorrectly, he would be given twenty military sticks. If he still could not recite it after three inspections, he would be kicked out of the Yongwei camp.
The new military regulations may seem strict, but compared to the previous military regulations, they are much looser. The contents of the Seven Kill Orders are the bottom line. Every minor matter will be treated leniently. Soldiers who are difficult to deal with and have repeatedly committed crimes will be severely punished.
No loan.
Zhu Cihong also adopted "Serve the Country with Loyalty" as the military song of the Yongwei Camp. He wrote the lyrics and sent people from the Bell and Drum Division to teach it.
As one of the twenty-four yamen of the Ming Dynasty, the Bell and Drum Division could be said to be the top-notch existence at that time in terms of music and dance. Zhu Cixiang only sang it once and they basically mastered the tune, and rehearsed the dance music according to the lyrics.
Play music and teach the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to sing collectively.
Zhu Cixiang wanted to tell the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion that they knew why they were fighting, and he wanted to build a strong and thoughtful army.
A well-equipped army can become a strong army through rigorous training. However, such a strong army is only superficial, and many fight with compulsion and fear of military law.
If such a strong army is inspired by thoughts and beliefs and the soldiers can voluntarily fight, Zhu Cixiang can say with certainty that such an army will be invincible!
The Mongolian Yuan regime placed great restrictions on the Han people. Four households had one kitchen knife. However, under the national slogan of expelling the Huru and restoring China, this group of Han people in ragged clothes and armed with crude weapons were not afraid of life and death and defeated the arrogant people at that time.
Mongol.
The power of ideas and beliefs is also the main soul of modern armies in later generations. Courage, loyalty, discipline, knowing why to fight, well-equipped equipment, and skilled combat skills can make a strong army even if the general's qualifications are average.
The late Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty were both eras when nationalism and the Huayi divide were prevalent. However, because the people were poor and illiterate, it was difficult to form such a thoughtful army.
Now, as the prince of a country, he has a lot of resources at his disposal. In addition, the Yongwei Camp has ready-made personnel and has the most sophisticated equipment in the Ming Dynasty. If he can instill ideas into the soldiers, then he believes that in time, the Yongwei Camp will be
Be invincible in the world!

The smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in another country?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
........
In the Yongwei camp, there is an exciting collective chorus every day. This song "Serve the Country with Devotion" expresses Yue Fei's artistic conception of resisting the Jin Dynasty. Yue Fei's name is still well known even after five hundred years, even among the illiterate.
I heard it from Mr. Storyteller.
Many of the soldiers in the Yongwei camp came from Jiubian and fought against Houjin all year round. Almost all of them worshiped General Yue. This military song was more in line with their state of mind.
Therefore, every time they sing, it will arouse the passion in their hearts to fight for the country, which is also the result Zhu Cixiang wants.
Some soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion on duty at the porridge factory recited the Seven Kill Orders while patrolling. After a period of vigorous rectification, the discipline of the entire Yongwei Battalion took on a new look.
"These military officers are completely different from our officers and soldiers."
"I heard that these are Chitose's soldiers. The lyrics of the songs sung there were also written by Chitose himself. The Seven Killing Orders that the military masters chant every day were also written by Chitose."
"I've seen Mr. Qiantose. He was standing not far from me last time he came to visit us. He was very young. He looked about ten years old!"
"Wow, Master Chitose is so powerful at such a young age. He is really the reincarnation of Ziweixing."
There was a burst of discussion among the refugees. They all felt the great changes in the Yongwei Camp and at the same time admired the Crown Prince.
