Chapter 5254: The adopted son of a soldier is the supervisor of the army
Liu Jingxuan smiled and waved his hand: "As everyone knows about my adopted sons in the military, they are often the adjutants of various units, while the chief officers are served by older and more experienced veterans. However,
Because he has become my adopted son, everyone knows that he has a good future in the future, so his comrades in the same team will rush to make friends with him. In this way, my adopted son is basically not involved in all matters in the team.
You know, those more important things, they will report to me."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's it. Your adopted sons are upright in the army. Everyone knows about their existence, and they are even willing to talk to them about family matters and complain. Doesn't this give us information? People are here.
In this army, no matter how big or small the military affairs are, he cannot get around him. If the chief officer or a subordinate disobeys the military order, it cannot escape his eyes. Is it possible that there will be no intelligence? Is it only possible to hide in the dark, or to observe secretly?
, is this called intelligence?”
Liu Jingxuan murmured to himself: "Yes, that's the truth. I can obviously obtain information openly. However, this is because I am also in the military, and the scope is relatively small. These adopted sons follow me every day.
If there is an opportunity to meet, if something happens, you will report it to me every day. If you are in a distant place, it will not be so easy."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Then when your subordinates are stationed in other places, how do these adopted sons in other places report to you? Do they contact you every day through official reports, or do they send messengers to deliver oral messages?"
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips and said: "If there is no urgent matter, those parents are short-lived and the soldiers are having family affairs, they will not report it. Moreover, if I have several adopted sons in the branch outside, I will usually find someone who is older than me."
The longest or the one I am most satisfied with is the person in charge. He will collect the information that the adopted sons in this army have learned, find important ones, and report them to me regularly, usually once every ten days, through formal military reports.
Report, of course, this military report is a formal military report separate from this unit, and has a special messenger, usually the personal bodyguard responsible for the adopted son."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "This means that if you are in a large camp and you are in charge, the adopted son in the camp will report directly to you. If the troops are divided and stationed elsewhere, then you will have to find a responsible adopted son.
First collect the information that the adopted sons have inquired about, and then send your personal guards to deliver it to you after summarizing it. In this way, from the official military report to the information obtained by the adopted sons, you have two channels to understand the situation of the local garrison, right?
"
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, of course, in an emergency, some adopted sons will bypass the responsible adopted son and secretly use their own soldiers to deliver some information. Of course, in this case, this is often the case.
There is a conflict between two adopted sons. The responsible adopted son has some problems or is hiding something. Although there are not many such things, I also allow the adopted sons to directly
Reported to me."
Liu Yu nodded: "So, you actually use your adopted son to monitor the general in the garrison, and use other adopted sons to monitor the responsible adopted son. In this way, it means that this adopted son is the most important person in the garrison.
For a powerful person, just like when I asked Wang Zhenye to hold my token and do things for his own convenience, you suddenly think that I let him actually take charge of the army, is that right?"
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "Yes, that's actually the case. The reason why the generals of these troops are so respectful and polite to my adopted sons who are their deputies is because they have a way to contact me directly. Although
The daily affairs and operations in the army are presided over by these generals, but all their actions will be reported to my adopted sons, and they cannot do whatever they want, especially in the distribution of spoils of war, the distribution of military pay and food, and the reporting of military exploits.
When it comes to things like logistics and benefits, we don’t dare to be careless.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But if your adopted son and this general have overlapping interests or exchanges, for example, if the adopted son's subordinates want to share more military merits and get more good food and military equipment, then both sides have
They may work together to take advantage of their personal guards, or they may work together to falsely claim military merit, or even pretend to receive military pay. This possibility has always existed."
Liu Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Yes, you are very right, Jinu. The reason why there are other adopted sons to bypass the normal intelligence channels and report some things is often what you said. Generally speaking,
For example, among the bandits and horse bandits that I recruited and recruited in the army, the person sent to lead them must be my adopted son, because he is relatively loyal and reliable, but it is not easy to win over these people.
Because of their own considerations, they will also find ways to strengthen their own strength. In addition to the establishment, they will annex a large number of people who are not regular conscripts. These are the stragglers I mentioned, or recruit prisoners. In my army, there is no secret.
The report mainly focuses on these aspects. In fact, we are all generals, and we are all soldiers. What they did is what we thought at the beginning, just like when we first joined the Beifu Army, we did it for a building owner.
We have been fighting for a year."
Liu Yu nodded: "In the final analysis, this is because the warlord mentality of treating the army as his own private property is at work. According to the military position, he can only lead a thousand people, but if he wants to have a thousand and five men, two
Thousands, three thousand people. The army cannot spare the quota, so they do everything possible to expand their own personal escorts and occupy the quota of logistics civilians. But how to feed and maintain these people, they have to find ways to embezzle the supplies and military salaries of other troops.
Equipment. This kind of thing used to be very common in your father's army. It was probably with your legion that they were often the village leaders of the villages in Huaibei. After the battle, these subordinates would follow them back to the various villages and become
It has to do with our own people."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Yes, for many years, each village in Huaibei has its own set of people independent of the imperial officers and soldiers. Those who have the ability will expand their subordinates. In the past, in order to maintain the survival of the village, the number of people
Numerous cottages often rely only on the supplies of the Xie family, which is not enough to sustain the survival of so many people, so they have to fight in Qingzhou. The euphemistic name is to attack the barbarians, but in fact it is more to loot the places of the powerful Han people.
We occupied the villages and Wubao and captured the population. Later, the Beifu Army was established, but this habit remained. This is why I had some personal guards as my adopted son, and then sent them out to monitor various armies." (
