Beiyang reactionaries

So he nodded happily.

"Okay, come with me and meet everyone."

"Yes."

5 military discipline

"My team here is just a grass-roots team. The company brought by Xiaohou (Yu Xuezhong), plus the recruits we recruited these days, add up to about 500 people. There is also a shortage of officers, and there are only a few of you now. I I think you have to be mentally prepared."

"Commander, all the military salaries from above have come down, and the weapons have also been distributed. As long as you have money, you can recruit troops very quickly."

Jiang Hongyu has always been called Duan Xun in private, because the two are classmates, and Jiang Hongyu is older than Duan Xun in terms of age.In the past, Duan Xun treated Jiang Hongyu as if he treated his elder brother.But when the military meeting was held, it was Jiang Hongyu who spoke one commander at a time, giving Duan Xun enough face.Jiang Hongyu knew how to advance and retreat. Ever since he chose to go to the west of Henan with Duan Xun, Jiang Hongyu knew his position.

Know how to maintain Duan Xun's status.

Jiang Hongyu knew that any group must have a voice.This army is about to go to the west of Henan, and Duan Xun is the core. This army can only have one leader, and that is Duan Xun.Therefore, Jiang Hongyu was very cautious in speaking and doing things.

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded, and then looked at the officers in front of him.Sitting below Duan Xun and Jiang Hongyu are Li Jishen, Xu Yongchang, and Yu Xuezhong, who are the company commanders of the three recruit companies that Duan Xun has just established.

Below them were some officers at the rank of platoon leader.

There were Yijun platoon leader Han Qishan who followed Yu Xuezhong, and several young officers who Duan Xun pulled directly from Baoding Military Academy.Including Wang Tianpei and Tang Shengzhi who came to Baoding Military Academy from Wuchang Army Middle School.

In this era when graduates of Baoding Military Academy can only be trainee platoon leaders after graduation, Duan Xun promised them a platoon leader position, which is still very attractive.

But that's about it.

There are still very few officers.

Forming a new force is problematic.There was a shortage of officers and a shortage of recruits.The establishment of a regiment is given above, but it does not mean that with the formation and money, the army can be formed immediately.

There are so many things to consider when forming a new army.It is completely different from the games played by later generations.

"However, the orders from above have been issued, and time is running out. Although the troops have not yet formed combat effectiveness, we still have to go south to the west of Henan. This is my first time leading troops, but many of you here have fought in battle. Some are from the Yi Army, and some He joined the Southern Army in the year of [-]."

very direct.

Many people here have participated in the Southern Revolutionary Army. For example, Li Jishen and Wang Tianpei fought against the Northern Army during the Revolution of [-], and fought directly with the Beiyang Army.Duan Xun knew all these things, so Duan Xun didn't hide it, and pointed it out directly.

We will work together in the future, and it is better to say some things.

"Each army has its own rules, and your original army must have its own rules. But when you come to me, you have to accept my rules. I am here to announce the three major disciplines of my army."

"Rule [-]: All actions are subject to command. Discipline is the most important thing for an army. Any invincible army is a force with steel discipline. Therefore, this is the first and most important rule. .”

"Yes."

Jiang Hongyu and several officers stood up.

Jiang Hongyu said directly: "It should be so. If you don't obey the command on the battlefield, any troops can directly enforce the battlefield discipline."

Follow orders.

This looks simple, but it's not.

Even if it is the Beiyang Army, Yuan Shikai led the Beiyang Army to fight, it is very difficult to do it completely.Because everyone has everyone's ideas.Now that Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are getting stronger and stronger, this is even more difficult to achieve.

"Okay. Let me talk about the second rule: You are not allowed to use needles and threads from ordinary people. Remember that we are soldiers, and we have our own military pay. Even if there is a lack of military pay, some people are not satisfied. They can apply to leave the army with me. But no one It is allowed to reach into the homes of ordinary people. Even a copper coin is not allowed to be taken, and whoever takes it will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes."

This was discussed by Duan Xun and Jiang Hongyu.

This time Duan Xun's troops entered the west of Henan, in name they were the bandit suppression troops in the west of Henan.If you want to get a foothold in the west of Henan and finally drive away the Zhensong Army, you must be different from the Zhensong Army.You must have your own distinct characteristics, so that people can understand the difference between Duan Xun's army and Zhensong army.

Because Duan Xun's army is completely different from Zhensong's army.

The Zhensong Army is composed of local people. If you want to drive them away, you must have more support from the locals than the Zhensong Army.Duan Xun has no cards in his hand, so if he wants to gain a foothold in Western Henan, there is only one way, and that is to have good military discipline.

The discipline of the army is far better than that of the Zhensong Army, so good that all the people in Western Henan turn their heads to support Duan Xun.

Only in this way can Duan Xun gain a foothold in the west of Henan and get the support of the people in the west of Henan.As long as he has a foothold in the west of Henan, he will have a chance to drive away the Zhensong army.So Duan Xun thought for a long time before he remembered the three most famous disciplines of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.

If the military discipline is the best in Chinese history, it is definitely the People's Liberation Army.

"Article [-]: Everything captured must be returned to the public. We went to the west of Henan to suppress bandits. However, in a war, there must be troops who want to attack and some troops who want to block. At that time, some troops will have spoils, and those troops that need to block will have less spoils. That will cause a lot of injustice, and there will be complaints among the troops. Therefore, I am here today to establish a discipline. No matter how the army expands in the future, this rule must be adhered to."

"The seized materials must be returned to the public. Then they will be distributed. When we go to the west of Henan to suppress bandits, the spoils obtained from a bandit nest must be counted and handed over to the logistics department. Then, according to the contributions of their respective troops and the needs of their respective troops, they will be redistributed. Distribution. If anyone dares to withhold the spoils privately, I will deal with it as embezzlement of military pay."

In fact, this one is the hardest.

Because you don't need money to reward in this era, many troops will have no combat effectiveness.It is Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army. If Yuan Shikai has no military pay, don't expect the Beiyang Army to be dispatched.

loot.

This is the biggest motivation for the troops to fight.

But Duan Xun stopped this at once.Because this is a new army formed by Duan Xun, Duan Xun will stop this bad habit of the current army from the beginning.Not only that, Duan Xun will slowly separate the front-line troops from the logistics troops, so as to cut off the possibility of the front-line troops being overinflated.

"Yes."

Fortunately.

Regardless of whether it is Li Jishen, Xu Yongchang or Yu Xuezhong, although they have been in the army, they are still young people.Li Jishen is slightly older, only 27 years old.

Moreover, Li Jishen has been studying in the military academy and has not been in the army for a long time.Did not catch the habit of the army.

"These are the three major disciplines of the army that I formulated. Now let me talk about the eight items that our troops need to pay attention to after entering the western part of Henan. I have written down the required precautions for you in detail. Take a look. Look. We'll talk when we're done."

Three disciplines and eight points of attention.

In fact, the troops of the direct line of the Beiyang Army, those troops with sufficient military pay, have very good military discipline.But there are also some troops with insufficient military pay, so there is no need to mention military discipline.Including some units of Zhao Ti's Yi Army stationed in Henan, and Zhang Xun's Whip Army, they are all the same troops as bandits.Looting places is even worse than bandits.

Duan Xun has no specific goals at this stage.Duan Xun still doesn't know where he will go in the future, and where his army will go.But Duan Xun knows one thing, that is, his army cannot become a bandit army.

That's why Duan Xun took over the three major disciplines and eight points of attention of the People's Liberation Army.

"Everyone has read it, so I will talk about it. These few things that need attention are all extended from the three major disciplines I issued. Take a look carefully, and you can ask if you have any questions."

"teacher."

Li Jishen stood up and said, "Teacher, I can understand everything here. Back then, the Yue family's army 'didn't demolish houses to death from freezing, and would not plunder to death from starvation'. "It's easy to regret the mountain, but difficult to regret the Yue family's army." If you want to train a strong army, military discipline is indeed the most important thing. I think emphasizing military discipline is something that a strong army must do. But teacher, you finally wrote 'No cruelty to prisoners', I don't quite understand."

Young officers have dreams.

Haven't been educated by reality yet.Therefore, both Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang have a dream, which is to build a team in their dreams.Li Jishen and the others did not object to Duan Xun's plan to build an army with strict military discipline, but supported it very much.
