After entering the official hall, he called the generals and instructors to introduce them to everyone, and also told the generals of the military academy. The content of the setting and teaching is not much different from that of the military academy in the capital. After all, they all originated from Suizhou when training troops, and they never left the trace. Compared with the military academy in Beijing, the military academy in Hequ Road was more rigorous, but the management was much more relaxed. The most obvious difference is that the military academy here on Hequ Road did not have corporal punishment, and all whippings were cancelled, not to mention the extreme punishment of beheading at the gate in the army in the past. The military academy in the capital was different. The system came from Suizhou to train troops, but the discipline came from the imperial guards of the three yamen, which was extremely strict. The punishment for violating discipline was the beginning of military sticks, and the beheading was the end.

Because it is not good for the war between the Dangxiang, the military rules for ten kills and seventeen kills can be determined. The military style can be imagined. In the military theory, whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, he is afraid of war on the front line and does not obey military orders, and never asks why. The solutions come up with how to punish and intimidate. This difference is particularly obvious, and everyone has noticed it, but no one asks. Whether this difference is useful or not, they need to feel it here.

When Hequ Road was a great victory, and a large number of generals and soldiers were drawn, the court officials noticed this difference. There was only one type of corporal punishment in the Hequ Road Army, which was beheading and displaying public. There were few applicable crimes, most of which were in wartime, disobeying orders, escaping or fleeing the enemy on the battlefield, etc. The crimes of decapitation in normal times were nothing more than murder, rape, and looting of people's property, but the crimes in the imperial guards at this time were not serious.

Di Qing defeated Nong Zhigao's Guirenpu. Because the general Sun Jie was accidentally killed and the troops were in a panic, Jia Kui violated Di Qing's military orders before the war and led his troops to attack without authorization. Jia Kui's attack quickly stabilized the morale of the Song army and brought a decisive victory. After the war, Di Qing not only did not punish Jia Kui for disobeying the military order, but instead praised it. One of the rewards was to let him accept Nong Zhigao's treasures. This was the legacy to the army of the Five Dynasties. After the victory, the generals and soldiers could fill their own pockets. Of course, Kui was self-disciplined and did not do this, but it was not that the army was not allowed to do this.

This is the fundamental difference between military concepts and theories. Many generals were dissatisfied with Du Zhongxiao's Hequ Road army. For example, when Guirenpu was in the battle, Hequ Road was a completely different style. Generals of Jia Kui level would definitely add a sentence to have the right to deal with the situation before the war in the Hequ Road army. Without this sentence, they would not be the battlefield commander, and the commander must have this power. Di Qing's unstoppable bootstrapping before the war would not appear in the army of Hequ Road. Military orders are issued combat tasks to subordinates, not to maintain battlefield order. Whether in peacetime or during wartime, military orders and battlefield discipline are guaranteed by military law. If a death penalty is committed on the battlefield, then beheaded directly, which is also one of the powers of the battlefield commander.

The commander has the right to deal with the situation on the fly, rather than mechanically executing military orders, so in the key position, there must be a military supervisor sent by a superior in addition to the commander. In principle, the military supervisor needs to agree to the military supervisor. If the military supervisor does not agree and has different opinions from the commander, there are two ways to do it. One is to act according to the commander's opinion, and the military supervisor opposes the military order and bears the consequences. The other is that the military supervisor believes that the superior order must be absolutely necessary, so the opposition does not sign the military order and directly removes the commander's position and is temporarily replaced by other generals in the army.

Whether you can command on the spot is the most important reference for determining whether the general can be promoted. Those who have the courage to deal with it on the spot and can respond to the situation on the battlefield will mention more advanced commanders at one level. Relatively speaking, those who do not have this courage and who are promoted based on their financial and military merits are mostly deputy positions in the army, and they go to the army to supervise the army during wartime.

There will be no conflicts faced by Guirenpu Jia Kui in Hequ Road Army. He made great contributions but violated military orders. Therefore, in Hequ Road Army, as long as they violate military orders, they will definitely be investigated. It is hard to say whether they are the commander or the military supervisor who is only investigated.

Jia Kui violated military orders and Di Qing's handling of him after the war showed that Di Qing was an excellent general, and people and later generations praised him in this way. This is a fact, but this contradiction shows that there is something wrong with the military system.

When it comes to system, concepts, and theory, the contradictions are not as harmonious as the surface. With military merits, no one dares to say anything to Du Zhongxiao, but other Hequ Road generals may not be. A large number of Hequ Road generals and soldiers were transferred back to Beijing, causing a lot of conflicts. Those who were transferred back many times would rather not be officials than go to other military affairs. This incident made the emperor and court officials extremely angry. Originally, they were transferred back to disrupt the Hequ Road military system and gathered together to lead troops. Wouldn't it be a expansion of the power of the Hequ Road Army? In the end, most of the people returning to Beijing on Hequ Road were arranged to be in the military academies or to be instructors in other military armies and did not hold military power.

This time, the lineup came to Hequ Road was so large that the three generals joined the army, led by the Privy Councilor and the Deputy Privy Councilor. The reason was that this was the reason. It was fine if the soldiers and generals trained by the Beijing Military Academy could fight, but they slowly diluted the soldiers and generals on Hequ Road, and everyone was harmonious. But Zhang Ke hit the Dayun and slapped the court officials and the generals in the capital, and the matter became serious.

Only the army on Hequ Road is the best, and no one dares to move Du Zhongxiao's position. The more this happens, the more worried the court is. There is the lesson of the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. The generals came to learn, and Wang Gongchen, who was a pure civil servant, was here to figure out the reason. The reason was not clear, the emperor could not sleep, and the ministers in the court had no idea how to start.

Du Zhongxiao knew this very well, but there was no way. Who told them not to do it? Could it be that he blamed himself? After the establishment of Hequ Road, Du Zhongxiao rarely interfered in military affairs and deliberately distanced himself from his subordinates. He had no personal relationships and had tried his best to make an appointment with him. What else can he do?

After hearing the situation introduced by Tiju, Di Qing said: "Administratively, what if there are generals and soldiers in the military academy who do not abide by discipline?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the military regulations, everything should be done, everything has rules."

Di Qing said: "The soldiers in the army are already practicing standing, marching, walking, running, etc. If they violate discipline, what is the punishment for asking them to do more? If they cannot be punished severely, and the generals and soldiers are not afraid, how can they be strict in military discipline!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The Taiwei, there is a saying that the people are not afraid of death but afraid of death. When they enter the military camp and bleed at any time, they should not be afraid of death. They should not be afraid of death. What kind of fear should they have? The so-called brave people are not afraid of, and the soldiers and generals in the army are brave. Is it completely unreasonable to use military discipline to scare them? People not only have fear, but also have shame. Soldiers have many qualities and many abilities. The only thing that is not allowed is despicable! No matter how great a skill is, they will not be able to stay in the army and have to leave. In addition to beheading, the most important thing in other punishments is to make the generals and soldiers regret it, rather than to make them afraid. Just be afraid of a few sticks. How can such a person go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Therefore, there is also here in the Hequlu Army, except beheading, there is no such punishment in the army."

When Di Qing heard this, he was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. He was a brave general and was promoted quickly because of his courage, but never thought that bravery was just the most basic requirement in the army. He stood out not because of his courage, but because of his victory and military merits.

Du Zhongxiao's words were equivalent to overturning the most basic things in the current military system, and they were silent for a moment.
