Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 343 Reform ([-])

Ideological construction, ideological construction.

His Majesty the Emperor was formerly a political cadre. He knows this very well and wants to let these soldiers know why they come to train and why they fight!

When the war involves itself, things are easy to say.

Bianjing also has Zhuque Street, facing the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace. The tallest building in Bianjing is not the Tai Chi Palace of the Imperial Palace, but the Hall of Heroes in the middle of Zhuque Street. The Hall of Heroes enshrines all those who fought for the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The dead heroes, and behind the Hall of Heroes is a building complex with one hundred and eight palaces. This building complex has an unprecedented name.

"The Royal Military and Political Supervisor of the Tang Dynasty!"

His Majesty the Emperor personally serves as the Military and Political Supervisor Jijiu (principal).

Looking at the heads in the hall, His Majesty the Emperor found a long-lost feeling. Yes, it felt like holding a general meeting in his previous life. Below were the commanders, deputy commanders, commanders, deputy commanders, Sima, and Du of each army. Zhi, Gongcao and other senior civil servants.

The Minister of War, Shi Pu, the five military governors in Beijing, as well as the prime minister and the officials of the six ministries were on both sides of His Majesty the Emperor.

What is different from the past is that this time there are princes present. King De, Li Yu, Li Zhen and Li Xu, one is 13 years old and the other two are 11 years old. Like all the soldiers, they are facing each other. As for the youngest son of King Jin and Concubine Shu, they are only two years old. The three-year-old kid naturally didn't let them join in the fun.

His Majesty the Emperor took a sip and looked at the generals with a calm expression. For the generals, such a scene was rare. Among the generals, the one with the highest official position was An Jushou, who was appointed as the commander of Zhaoyi Army and concurrently as the commander of Zhaoyi Town. Deputy envoy of Jiedu.

This is also one of the few vassal towns that have not been abandoned. Of course, it is said to be a vassal town in name only. Zhaoyi Jiedushi is still the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Wei Shaodu, but Wei Shaodu has not cared about Zhaoyi Town for a long time.

And at the position where His Majesty the Emperor was bowing his head, a new person came, that is, Liu Wei, the former Administrative Officer of Pinglu Town, was accepted by His Majesty the Emperor to the Hanlin Academy to serve as Hanlin.

Historically, Liu Wei was both literary and military, and he was also a handsome man. The key is that he was young, only 22 years old. He was a talent that His Majesty the Emperor deliberately cultivated. Liu Wei's predecessor was Guo Chongtao, the current deputy chief minister of Hebei West Road.

At this time, Liu Wei laid out the paper and held the pen to record what the emperor said.

"Commanders, I want to ask you, why are the armies fighting so hard on the battlefield?"

"Some say it's for me, some say it's for the sake of food and money, some say it's for the Tang Dynasty..."

"This is all right!"

"If there were no soldiers, foreigners would massacre our comrades, and robbers would plunder our women. It was you who protected the Tang Dynasty so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment!"

"In my opinion, soldiers are noble, and like scholars, they are loved by the people..."

Kong Wei frowned slightly, His Majesty the Emperor has come for private goods again. As soon as he said this, he raised these illiterate Qiu Ba to the same level as the scholars. I am afraid those scholars would not agree!

But so what if you don’t agree?His Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more powerful. He is loved by everyone no matter in the court, in the military circles, or even among the people. This humble voice will only receive more criticism.

The military generals below are gradually getting better. Although they are not excited, they may be comparable to scholars, but they are also very depressed.

"But why do you have to fight so hard!"

"Where do the things you eat, drink, and your salaries come from? It is the people's fat and the people's anointing. It is the people who support you."

"Since you have chosen this path, since you have chosen to defend your country, if you don't fight tooth and nail, how can you be worthy of the people who support you."

"If you don't work hard, the bandits will enter and the nest will be overturned without any eggs left intact. How will your family be able to survive alone?"

"Everyone, why are you fighting so hard? You are waiting for me. If you don't fight, I'm sorry for the people, I'm sorry for me, I'm sorry for your salary, and I'm sorry for your family!"

The officers and soldiers were lost in thought. Many people thought that it was natural for soldiers to eat food. They were all serving the emperor and the court. It was not their business not to work hard on the battlefield. But when they had less money and were hungry, it was because the court could not afford them. , there are not a few people on the battlefield who are instigating mutiny.No one thought about it or wanted to think about it.

Establishing the honor and disgrace of soldiers is what the emperor has to do, ideologically build the Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty.

To establish a steely faith to dare to fight and fight to the death, we must build it ideologically.

"The training of the army is very important. I believe that the ideological training of the army is as important as military training.

The soldiers must understand why they need to fight and why they need to train. "

"As a commander, as a military Sima Administrative Officer, we must pay attention to the ideological training of our soldiers."

"Let the soldiers express their thoughts, discover their difficulties, and help them solve their worries!"

"Desperating one's life means death. They have family members and people they care about. The court must help them solve their worries!"

"This is the responsibility of the imperial court!"

His Majesty the Emperor crushed the idea of ​​building an army into pieces and instilled it into everyone. Even if they don't understand or agree with it, it doesn't matter.

There will be many such activities, and all armies and capitals will have to carry them out.

According to the original history, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the country's elites were also concentrated in Bianliang, and they began to train every five days. Later, they could not even train every five days. The 80 strongest soldiers in the country at that time were brought alive. 80 pigs were raised.

Li Ye would definitely not be like this.

Twelve hours a day, four hours for sleeping, three hours for free activities, and the remaining five hours, at least two hours for military training, two hours for ideological training, and one hour for reading and studying.

Field training is held every month, and the Ministry of War arranges for each army to compete and practice formations.

Ten days and ten days, two days off, each army takes turns to rest.

The schedule is tight.

Customization has been formed from the beginning. Soldiers who are not active in training will have their military merits reduced. If they are not active again, they will be punished as deserters.

If the military fails to actively carry out training, the officers will be directly held accountable.

After Li Ye's words were recorded, they were copied and polished. After the emperor reviewed them, they were sent to the armies, and every soldier had to learn from them.

Even the armies guarding the borders are no exception.

In the army, there were more than 3000 ruffians from Hebei and more than [-] ruffians from other armies who complained, treated negatively, and encouraged trouble.

His Majesty the Emperor issued an order to the Military Advocate General's Office, where the Sima, the Commander-in-Chief, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, as well as officials from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Judicial Department of the Ministry of War, and the Yushitai were jointly assigned to the Military Advocate General's Office for a public trial in the army.

More than 1000 people, including more than [-] or [-] people, were convicted of rebellion and executed.

The remaining people were more or less sentenced to prison terms, and were taken to the mines one by one to work as slaves for a few years...
