"Today the government is preparing to reorganize, but I am young, and I will still have to rely on you for everything in the future." ?
If you feel that you can't tolerate it, you can leave as soon as possible, I will never force you." In the side hall, all the prominent people from Prince Wei's palace gathered, and after greetings, Zhao Bing looked at the people in the hall and said.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. There is no rule without rules. The lower officials should abide by it." As soon as the prince finished speaking, Cai Wanyi immediately stood up and saluted. However, seeing the serious face of His Highness, he felt a little unsure about whether he could make trouble.
It was clear that this child had done something wrong again, and everyone felt that this should be the case, and no one raised any objections.
"Okay, read it!" Zhao Bing nodded and signaled Wang De to read it out.
"Ahem!" Wang De said softly, raised his eyes to see everyone paying respect, and looked a little distracted, as if the person in front of him was already ninety-five years old, and the people below him were all subordinates, and he was already
The first person beside His Majesty, "1. Respect class and obey orders; 2. Do not plunder or disturb the people; 3. Join the army voluntarily and do not tattoo; 4. Prohibit military service and be fair; 5. Prohibit military debts and private sergeants."
; Sixth, lynching is prohibited, and rewards and punishments are clearly stated; Seventh, private possession is prohibited, and theft is prohibited; Eighth, open defecation is prohibited to prevent epidemic diseases. This is an iron law in our government, but those who violate it will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. "
Zhao Bing looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall. As the rules were announced, their expressions changed from relaxed to surprised and solemn, so that they had not yet reacted after the reading was completed. There was no noise in the hall except the slightly heavy breathing of everyone, and it was obvious that there was still...
There was no reaction. And his sudden announcement of discipline before the appointment was by no means a whim. It was after careful consideration and careful consideration.
From the experience of his previous life, Zhao Bing knew that any political party or group would have its own program and purpose, but he wanted to save his life now. Besides, in ancient times when imperial power was supreme, it was not his turn to put forward his own political program, otherwise he would wait until later.
The charge against him is "conspiracy". But he also knows the current situation in the mansion. The people gathered around him are a group of rabble who may disperse at any time. If he wants to keep them, in addition to attracting interests, he must also
There is discipline and restraint to achieve the purpose of making them not want to leave or dare not leave.
Now announcing discipline first also means saying ugly words first. Tell them that I am very reasonable and follow me voluntarily and will never force you. But if you choose to stay, you must abide by my rules. If you violate them, you will not blame me.
, you have to follow the rules. And this can also eliminate a group of people who are not determined and want to play soy sauce in the palace. It is not a bad thing for you. It won't hurt your face if everyone breaks up. It won't be ugly to meet again in the future.
As for these eight disciplines, Zhao Bing not only drew on the experience of successful people in previous lives, but also considered the specific conditions of today's era. Several prohibitions are aimed at today's current malpractices. Only in this way can his fledgling army be able to win the battle.
If you survive in this troubled world, you can of course save your own life.
But some people may think that you, a person from a modern civilized society, should lead the ancients to get rid of ignorance, eliminate classes, and establish a democratic and equal society. How to **** and strengthen class differentiation? Zhao
Bing has also thought about this problem, but he feels that it is impossible for him to do it now, especially in the feudal society where hierarchy is strict, birth is important, and Neo-Confucianism is prevalent. And there is no such thing as class even in a highly democratic modern society.
Real disappearance.
In fact, the class nature in the army is stronger. In modern times, it is just euphemistically called "emphasis on the concept of superiors and subordinates." Otherwise, everyone is equal, and who will listen to whom in a war? Strengthening the class nature is also very important to Zhao Bing, who is at the "top of the pyramid" at this time.
It is beneficial and harmless. If class and blood were not concerned, who would piss this little kid like him? Only in this way can he consolidate his precarious position, which will be conducive to future rule, strengthen his control over the court, and make his ideas step by step.
Reality.?
?
But Zhao Bing was not without consideration for everyone. At least he canceled the tattooing of soldiers. A major feature of recruiting soldiers in the Song Dynasty was to tattoo their faces, hands, etc., so recruiting soldiers was often called "recruiting tattoos."
At that time, only certain criminals, government craftsmen and slaves were treated like this, which was undoubtedly a mark of shame. Isn't it also a kind of progress for him to do this, and it also improved their status in disguise. In addition, Zhao Bing also
He knew that these few measures alone could not change the status quo, but he also wanted to try to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings in the army and build an iron army. Even if he failed, his journey to the Song Dynasty was not in vain.
The Song Dynasty is known as the richest dynasty in history, but its country was rich but its military was weak, but it was criticized by later generations. Some people attributed this to the Song Taizu brothers Zhao Kuangyin who valued literature over military affairs; others thought it was because the Song Dynasty lost the land to raise horses and failed to build a
Powerful cavalry; some people think that the Song Dynasty was in a position of four wars and lost the Great Wall defense line, so there was no danger to defend it; some people think that the Song Dynasty was born at the wrong time, and since its establishment, it has faced the powerful Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, and Mongolia.
After being invaded by nomads, the essence and blood were eventually exhausted by successive wars.
Zhao Bing believes that these views are reasonable, but he believes that the Song Dynasty army, as the country's generals, has its own problems. Top-down corruption and the failure of military discipline have degenerated this army that was once able to conquer and fight well.
There were short-lived brilliance but ultimately failed to make fundamental changes.
Taizu of the Song Dynasty claimed that he was strict in enforcing the law and would never tolerate it. He said: "I will raise the soldiers now and I will not begrudge the rewards. If you violate my law, you will only have swords and ears!" In fact, his strict enforcement of the law was limited to sergeants and ordinary people.
Generals Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin and Wang Rengan broke the law when they defeated Hou Shu. After a meeting of hundreds of officials, they all agreed that they should be executed. However, Song Taizu ordered a pardon. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was pacified, Song Taizu promoted Wang Quanbin to Jiedushi.
Said: "I thought that the left side of the river was not at peace, and I was worried that the generals in the southern expedition would not follow the rules, so I suppressed you for several years and made laws for me. Now that I have conquered Jinling, I have returned you to the festival." This kind of emperor's technique to the south is exactly the way to open the door.
It was the first time to show favoritism to the law.
At the end of the Song Dynasty, due to the great tolerance and leniency towards various illegal behaviors of corrupt officials and mediocre generals, there were many cases of impunity, unjust punishment, and repeated use of crimes, so there were endless violations of laws and prohibitions. The result naturally led to corruption.
The general style of the Southern Song Dynasty was passed down from generation to generation. Contemporaries commented on the general style of the Southern Song Dynasty: "Foolish and jealous of favors, greedy and hunting for soldiers, guarding the border to protect themselves, taking roundabout ways to avoid the front when going to aid, courage is not enough to encourage
The three armies are not smart enough to predict ten miles, their lords are not strong enough to subdue the masses, and their power is not strong enough to control their subordinates. They collapse in small battles but run away in big battles. They win in terms of actual defeats. They expect rewards for no merit. This has caused hundreds of years of disadvantages. It will not be easy to change.
Those who use sudden revolution." Although this sentence is not enough to summarize the entire situation of corrupt generals, it is similar.
The fact is that there is no way to eradicate three hundred years of long-standing abuses. Corruption and bribery among military generals in the Song Dynasty were also quite prevalent. In addition to annexing land, engaging in commerce, operating wineries, etc., there were also various methods to enslave and exploit soldiers:
Withholding money and food from sergeants is one of the most common malpractice. "The officers in the army warehouse give rice to the army", "the month decreases and the year decreases."
"Loose clothing, grain, materials, money, etc., will always be taken away when asked for help, relying on the jurisdiction of the ministry." Civilian and military generals not only deducted money and food from the sergeants, but even "marketed the grass to feed the war cavalry, often withholding all supplies."
, and the dryness is less than three-quarters of it."
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial soldiers, Xiang soldiers, local soldiers and archers were generally stationed locally, while the garrisoned soldiers had to go out to garrison and go to war. During the period when the sergeants went out to garrison and go to war, their military salary should be received by their family members to support them.
In other words, the sergeants who go out to guard the country give coupons, and their families in the village receive military rations, but even the means of survival of these military family members and the money of the soldiers' hard work will be reduced.
Then there is the "false name and false certificate", which has now become an empty tax, using the phrase "if there is a name but no real person, then there is a so-called false certificate; if there is a real person but not the real person, then there is a so-called false name."
"Officers in the army may also work with the military academy seniors to profit from their clothing and food and keep it privately," which in fact means intentionally retaining a shortage in the army so that they can use their hands to steal the shortage of money and food for themselves.
There is also "buying work", which means "Shang Shang sells his work outside and pays the money to the base camp to avoid reviewing." In addition, the generals also send sergeants to engage in profitable operations such as trading, and ask for huge profits. The same is true for military loans
Commonly used methods are to "repay interest", or to deduct military salary, or to pay debts, so that the sergeants have become their debt slaves, and even force their descendants to pay. The habit of exploiting and exploiting the sergeants has become a common practice, which seriously affects
It damaged the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, and caused a very sharp conflict between officers and soldiers.
The contradiction between the army and the people is also very acute. In addition to every major military operation, which without exception requires the recruitment of a large number of civilians and livestock, "scientific distribution" is also a heavy burden for the people, because various materials are needed to make weapons.
Weapons must be collected from the people. In Tao Bi's poem "Weapons", he described the situation when the Northern Song Dynasty fought against the Western Xia Dynasty, and the government cooperated with the people to make weapons: "The imperial court was anxious for the counties and counties, and the counties and counties were anxious for the officials. The officials had no other skills, so they blamed Chi.
Chi generation. The tendons and horns of plowing cattle are pulled out, and the feathers and wings of flying birds are bald. The bamboo slips cut off the Kuaiji sky, and the iron cooks Dongshan to pieces. Offer hundreds of millions to later generations, and whip them for other crimes." This harassment to the people can be seen.
When a large army goes out for an expedition, the mobilization will also greatly disturb the local area due to the corruption of military discipline. In addition to using peaceful means to collect various military supplies at low prices, generals often plunder civilian property and women, so that the dependents of the army at that time
A considerable part of them were actually taken captive, and there would be even more in the years of war and chaos. Even now, how many women have been taken captive by the dependents of the exiled court, but in this extraordinary period, the court was out of stability
