Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 96
"Why did you hit him?"

Yang Chao asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yang Chao also beat soldiers. When training people like Zhao Kang and Wang Pu, he adopted the method of fighting, but he still used his strength properly. This time, Wang Pu obviously lost his sense of proportion and shot too hard.

"He, he is too stupid. Our team is held back by him, and he alone can't stand up well. We are made to be laughed at!"

Wang Pu said aggrievedly, then lowered his head.

"stand at attention!"

Yang Chaoli shouted, and Wang Pu raised his head.

"Remember, don't lower your head."

A person keeps his head up all the time, which often represents a kind of pride, which is a kind of subconsciousness, just like when a person makes a mistake, he always bows his head habitually. hunched over.

On the contrary, if you can maintain a high-spirited appearance at all times, it will slowly affect your psychology.

"After training today, you run ten laps around the field!"

"Yes!"

Running ten laps is Yang Chao's punishment for Wang Pu. It is neither heavy nor light. The playground is huge, with a length of [-] feet and a width of [-] feet. One lap is close to [-] feet, and ten laps is close to [-] miles. It is absolutely tiring. half dead.

"Are you convinced?"

"Convince!"

Yang Chao didn't ask any more questions, he just needed to be convinced. As for why he was convinced, Yang Chao was not interested in knowing.

In the evening, Yang Chao called all the officers to his room and carefully read out a military order.

"Soldiers must obey their officers absolutely."

This is the first military discipline promulgated by Yang Chao. There is a saying in later generations that "soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty." For the dead, soldiers can only obey, cannot question, and cannot refuse to obey orders under any excuse.

This seems very undemocratic, but even in the army of later generations, she is still the iron law.

"Let every soldier memorize it tomorrow!"

Yang Chao continued, and all eight teams stood upright and said 'yes'.

"If you violate the law, you will be punished severely!"

Then Yang Chao listed all the situations he observed and could think of during this period, and worked out the corresponding military discipline and laws.

Military discipline stipulates what soldiers should do, such as obeying the commander, such as serious training, and military law is used to punish those who violate it.

"Passive training, beating with five sticks!"

Some soldiers didn't say anything, but resisted passively in various ways, and their attitude was not positive. Often the officers were still unable to convict them.

As for whether it is negative or not active, the judgment is somewhat subjective. In order to prevent the officer from using excuses to clean up the soldiers who are at odds with him, the sentence is lighter, only five sticks.

"Contradict the superior and beat him with ten sticks!"

If a soldier confronts an officer openly, it will obviously damage the dignity of the officer. People have different personalities. Some people are naturally clumsy. Seriousness, so be on guard, so even if the officer is wrong, he is not allowed to contradict him face to face.

"Beat the Shangguan, beat thirty!"

Just like what happened today, the soldiers and the team are fighting each other, which is too out of place, it doesn't look like half an army, and the [-] sticks are also consistent with today's punishment measures.

After Yang Chao finished speaking one by one, he wrote all these on the paper, but these people were illiterate, so Yang Chao read them one by one.

"Is there a problem?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Chao asked.

"Report, sir, I have a problem."

"Say."

Zhao Kang was the first to speak.

"Report to my lord, the subordinate thinks it is too light, and he should cut off his ears for beating Shangguan!"

When Yang Chao was reading military books, Marshal Qi Jiguang would push the soldier down to kneel in front of the officer in public, and then cut off his ears or nose, which was much more terrifying than Yang Chao's baton.

But Yang Chao opposed corporal punishment, he didn't want to cause unnecessary harm to the soldiers. The wounds on the soldiers could only be left to him by his enemies on the battlefield, not by his comrades in arms.

Moreover, harsh punishments may not necessarily prevent soldiers from making mistakes. Only strict execution is the most important thing. The purpose of punishment is to let soldiers know right from wrong, not to make them pay a heavy price for their mistakes.

Use the baton to show soldiers that they are wrong, what to do and what not to do.

Yang Chao said: "In my army, there is no corporal punishment!"

Zhao Kang looked a little depressed. A military household like him has often heard stories about the military since he was a child, and he has heard a lot of them.

It's the same with the other teams. Boys like Xiaolingwei, they often tell stories with those old military households who can't walk and spend all day basking in the sun by the city wall. They tell anecdotes in the army , including punishments such as piercing arrows, cutting off noses, and ears, they have heard of it.

Yang Chao continued: "And——

"Officers beat soldiers for no reason, with five sticks!

"A military officer beats a soldier and injures him with ten sticks!

"Officers beat soldiers to maim, beat them with a hundred sticks!"

The eight teams were surprised, but they didn't expect to punish the officers.

But Yang Chao didn't finish: "And——

"Whether you are an officer or a soldier, whoever wounds someone to death will be beheaded!"

There is no need for corporal punishment in training, but in order to prevent officers from intentionally picking stabs and bullying soldiers with pretexts, punishment is also needed.

Once there is the risk of being beaten by the officer, the officer will never beat the soldier for no reason, at least they will find a reasonable reason, and if they can find a reasonable reason, it proves that the soldier must have made a mistake.

As for the matter of wounding people to death, Yang Chao didn't want to see it. Whether it was an officer killing a soldier or a soldier killing an officer, there was no room for negotiation. There was no pardon!

"Okay, let's all go out, and write down the military discipline and military law for me!"

After everything was finished, Yang Chao drove out the officers one by one.

Then I summed it up again, military discipline and military laws are covered in many military books, and there are many types of crimes for decapitation. There are seven prohibitions and 54 beheadings. Yang Chao himself needs constant time to recite them, let alone those soldiers.

Therefore, Yang Chao wants to simplify, and Yang Chao doesn't think that some situations will appear, he believes in what he sees, and sets up military discipline and military laws based on what he sees, which is also a process of learning and accumulation.

On the Jinchai Building, everything was on track, and Yang Chao also focused his energy on the barracks.

Various military disciplines have also been promulgated continuously, and military laws for the punishment of violations of military disciplines have also been formulated together.

Although soldiers were not required to fold their bedding into tofu cubes, they were required to fold their bedding every day, and those who violated the order would be punished with ten sticks, and officers would be punished with five sticks for lax supervision.

There are special toilets in the barracks, and they can be beaten with ten sticks wherever they are convenient. Officers are punished with five sticks for lax supervision.

With the introduction of military discipline and regulations, the barracks are becoming more and more decent.
