Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 377 Faithful Records
Li Yanxian entered Wang Xiaolie's handsome tent, and saw a table in the middle with several chairs on both sides.At the end of the table, hung a huge map, which was marked "Guozhou Enemy and Our Situation Map." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was busy, putting a notebook and a pencil in front of each chair, and Put on a cup of tea.

Seeing Li Yanxian coming in, the young man stepped forward and saluted, "Jiang Min has seen Li Jinglue."

Li Yanxian nodded.Asked: "Wang Zhenfu hasn't come yet?"

Jiang Min said: "I'll be here soon. Jinglue sit down first, drink a cup of tea and take a break."

After speaking, he led Li Yanxian to the first seat on the left side of the table, and asked him to sit down.

Li Yanxian sat down and opened the notebook on the table to read.A line of words was printed on the cover of the book: Combat Notebook.Below is the unit and name, and the blank space behind it is obviously written by someone.The inside of the book was clean and blank.

Picking up a pencil, Li Yanxian tried it.Although it is a bit uncomfortable, you will get used to it once you hold it.

Most of the time in ancient China, brushes were used.However, unlike later generations, there are various postures for holding a pen.Unlike the calligraphy classes taught in later schools, you are taught the standard pen-holding posture first.The ancient people held brushes, many of which were the same as the postures of later generations with hard pens.They are not very unaccustomed to using pencils.And some special occupations, such as accountants and other personnel, themselves use hard pens.

While Li Yanxian was studying pencils there, Wang Ruohai came with Zhang Chi and Chi Yuping.Seeing Li Yanxian, he hurriedly saluted.

Li Yanxian said: "Just now the Zhenfu sent someone to invite us, saying that we will fight tomorrow, and we will have a pre-war meeting tonight. I'm wondering, this is a rule that didn't exist before. Is your Dengzhou army different from other armies?"

Wang Ruohai said: "It was the same before. It's just that more battles were fought. Zhenfu felt that many rules needed to be changed, and gradually became different. The meeting before the war was learned from the Jurchens. It is said that the Jin army fought wars, and the war Before the war, all the generals must be convened for a meeting to choose the best plan. The governor ordered us to have a pre-war meeting every time before the war, which is called the pre-war meeting. Speaking of which, today is the first Open it once."

Li Yanxian nodded and said, "Oh, I'm still trying something new!"

While Wang Ruohai was talking, he handed over the document in his hand to Jiang Min and asked him to send it to everyone.

Zhang Chi and Chi Yuping went to the big map, where they compared each other and discussed something.

Seeing Wang Ruohai sitting down on the second seat opposite him, Li Yanxian understood something in his heart.It seems that today's ranking is not random, there should be its own rules.They are not arranged according to official position as usual, nor are they arranged according to civil and military affairs as in the imperial court.

At the end, Wang Xiaolie came in.He stood in the first seat on the right and tapped on the table lightly.Zhang Chi and Chi Yuping hurriedly left the front of the map and sat down under Wang Ruohai.

Jiang Min put down what she was doing and sat down under Li Yanxian.

Wang Xiaolie said: "A few months ago, I said that in the future, wars should not be discussed in the account. It is no longer decided by the commander-in-chief. He will discuss with his colleagues in secret before discussing the matter. When the military account discusses matters, he will directly order. The command of the headquarters. It’s just that it’s not easy to start everything from the beginning, and the headquarters is not complete until now. Tomorrow will fight Guozhou, and today is our first headquarters meeting.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was serious, Li Yanxian couldn't directly ask Wang Xiaolie.He whispered to Jiang Min beside him: "What is the headquarters?"

Jiang Min said: "As the name suggests, the commander is the yamen in charge of military orders. During wars, military orders are issued from here."

Li Yanxian nodded.Some understand, some do not understand.In the custom of the Song Dynasty, military orders came from the generals, so why a separate yamen was set up to manage them, Li Yanxian didn't quite understand.Secrets in the military are important, and setting up a yamen, isn't it easy to leak information?

Wang Xiaolie said: "This headquarters can be regarded as an institution where the Fushi envoys exercise military orders. There will also be other offices for military administration. Most of the work of the headquarters is in charge of counselor Wang Ruohai. General matters are drafted by the headquarters. , the official in charge will sign and pledge. Important matters must be sent to me in addition to the official in charge. If it is particularly important, it must be decided at a meeting."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Today is the first pre-war meeting. Let me talk about the discipline of the meeting. Before each meeting, Counselor Wang is responsible for drafting a summary of the meeting. In principle, Send it to me for approval. Before everyone's case, there is a summary of today's meeting. You can take a look at it when you have time. This summary was originally intended to be sent to the participants when the meeting was notified. Today is special and really There is no time, so this is the only way to go. In principle, the meeting will be conducted according to the summary of the meeting. If any participant raises other matters, they can be resolved together at the meeting with the consent of other people."

After hearing this, Li Yanxian hurriedly opened the summary of the meeting that Jiang Min had placed in front of him.It said the theme of the meeting, which was going out of the city to fight Wei Yi tomorrow.There is also the process of the meeting, who will speak, who will make the minutes of the meeting, and who will decide the outcome of the meeting.

After reading the summary, Li Yanxian felt novelty.This kind of thing has never been done before, and it is unexpected that anyone can come up with these things.In fact, I have been in Yamen for a long time, and these things are not uncommon.Even the ancient yamen had similar things.It's just that those who do these things are the officials of the various yamen, and most officials don't participate.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "There is no need to talk about the agenda at the meeting. It is not much different from the previous meetings. The most important thing is that I want to emphasize one point. Unless it is really impossible to do it under very special circumstances, every meeting must have a record. Signed. If you agree with the conclusion of the meeting, write Agree. If you disagree, write Disagree. If you do not express your opinion, write abstention. If you agree with conditions, or disagree with conditions, you must write the conditions clearly. This is not the case. If you can be sloppy, everyone has to sign. The person who takes the minutes of the meeting is, in principle, the secretary in charge. Now that there is no secretary in charge, Jiang Min will take notes first. In the future, when the officials are fully equipped, they will all perform their duties!"

The meeting is just a formality, and it doesn't have to be so formal.Most importantly, the meeting draws its conclusions.And this conclusion cannot be a simple sentence, but the requirement is the minutes of the meeting.What everyone said and raised at the meeting, and whether they agree or disagree with the conclusion of the meeting, must be clearly recorded.If there is a problem with the resolution of the meeting, the people who participated in the meeting and made the resolution should be held accountable.

Some people say that history is written by the victors, while others say that history is a little girl who can be dressed up.This is not correct.History is history, and it does not change because of who writes it or how it is dressed.False history is, after all, false.Even if no one ever discovers the truth, what is false will never become true.A politician who does not even dare to keep the truth of history, if he only thinks of deceiving and acting with lies, is unqualified and irresponsible.

Wang Xiaolie believes that he can win in this era and that he can stand the test of history.This is the case when the military command has changed from the previous secret room politics to a combat conference.The same goes for faithfully documenting every meeting and keeping everyone's true face.This is a kind of political self-confidence, the self-confidence that a politician should have.
