Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 85 Act

An army without military law is like a man without bones.

In the past, the pressure of survival was high, and various conditions were not met. If the military law was too strict, soldiers would either rise up or flee directly.

Successive victories have established Li Yue's absolute authority.

So now is the best time to strike while the iron is hot.

"If you don't advance when you hear the drums, if you don't hear the gold, if you can't raise the flag, if you don't lower the flag, that's called disobedience to the army. Those who do so will be killed. If you don't call them by name, if you can't be summoned, if you go back and forth, and if you behave like a teacher, this is called slowness. Army. If so, cut them off. Tell them to fight at night, sluggish and not vigorous, more obedient, and the voice is unknown, this is called a lazy army. If so, cut them off..."

The murderous "cut it" exits made all the officers present shudder.

The military law of the Jin army inherited from Cao Wei, and the military law of Cao Wei came from the Han Dynasty.

And the Han inherited the Qin system.

The military laws of each generation are similar, added or eliminated according to the background of the times, all have been tested on the battlefield, and almost cover everything. Everything that Li Yue can think of is mentioned in the military law.

The consecutive seat system in "Wei Liaozi Wu Zhi Ling" is even more shocking: Wu Youqian orders those who violate the ban, and if they are exposed, they will be exempted from crimes.There are even those who violate the ban, and if they are exposed, they will be exempted from crime.

But this is also the basis for the strength of the Qin army and the Han army.

For any powerful army, the military law is more brutal.

Tang Jun even beheaded anyone who defecated indiscriminately.

The Yue family's army did not demolish houses to death from freezing, and did not plunder to death from starvation.

Qi Jiajun's continuous sitting method is even more outrageous.

"General, these military laws seem to be too strict." A young officer cupped his hands.

"That's why I will give you a chance. Those who don't want to accept these military laws can withdraw to serve the people. It's still too late." Li Yue pressed the handle of the knife and scanned the crowd.

With the betrayal of his own soldiers, Li Yue became obedient, wearing armor at all times, and even sleeping with a knife in his arms.

It is of course very difficult to implement these tactics in an era of boiling human nature.

But if it succeeds, it will shake this era.

The stalls in Heiyun Mountain are getting bigger and bigger, and there is no strict military discipline. I am afraid that there will be rebellions one after another in the future. Li Yue actually has no choice.

What is difficult is not the terms of military law, but the degree of enforcement.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, after all no one withdrew, no one was a fool, putting down swords and spears in this era is no different from a lamb.

After defeating Zhang Yu, Heiyun Mountain "has a bright future".

"Since you don't want to withdraw, I will assume that you all accepted it. Military law is not a child's play. You must remember it and give you three days to memorize it."

"Follow the order!"

The middle- and lower-level officers were all promoted by Li Yue himself, and they were already habitually obedient.

For three consecutive days, Li Yue personally supervised and urged everyone to keep it in mind.

Li Yue, who was illiterate, personally led them to read sentence by sentence, explaining the intention behind the military law.

The three days are a little rushed, but most people still remember it.

The news of the establishment of the military law was deliberately spread, but the army was full of excitement.

"I can only fight and kill, how can this happen?"

The thorns took the opportunity to make trouble and gathered dozens of people to play and roll.

Of course, Li Yue knew that it would be difficult for the soldiers to fully grasp the military law in a short period of time, so there was a simplified version only for the soldiers, divided into wartime and non-wartime.

It is relatively tolerant in non-wartime, and the people should not be violated.

In wartime, it is simplified to four rules: those who do not obey the military order will be executed, those who plunder privately will be executed, those who are weak in attack and defense will be executed, and those who defect will be punished.

If one person defected, the whole team would sit together, if one team defected, the whole team would sit together, if one team defected, the whole village would sit together, and the defector's family members would also sit together.

This time the soldiers understood.

Whether the military law can be carried forward depends not on the soldiers, but on the middle and lower ranks.

That's why Li Yue firmly grasped the right to appoint and dismiss officers.

An excellent officer group can naturally bring out a strong army.

"If you find it difficult to accept, I will allow you to withdraw." The twisted melon is not sweet, Li Yue still gives them a chance to withdraw.

There are indeed hundreds of veterans who quit, but they are not because of military law, but because they are old, injured and unable to fight.

The remaining thorns and 600 people will also withdraw.

Li Yue helped them all, "It's easy to get together and get away."

Today's Heiyun Mountain is not very short of people, and working together is more important than anything else.

The thornheads froze in place.

After hitting a stick, he will be given another carrot. Li Yue then ordered that all the soldiers participating in Heiyun Mountain will be rewarded with [-] acres of land and one stone of grain, including those more than a hundred veterans who quit. After all, they also fought hard. However, there are still dead and disabled soldiers.

The soldiers' only resentment dissipated.

"Thank you, General!" The black crowd half knelt on the ground.

As soon as the news spread, the people watching Xuanyuan Mountain couldn't sit still.

"General, I would also like to join the army." Thousands of young and strong roared.

The wages of avarice is death.

You can get land by killing the enemy in battle, and anyone can count on this deal, and land has been the most direct and fundamental wealth since ancient times.

Only when people and land are tied together can the foundation of Heiyun Mountain be stabilized.

"It's not that easy to be a soldier of this general, let's see if you have the ability!" Li Yue laughed loudly.

It feels like they have never been so proactive. A few days ago, they wanted to kill themselves.

Taking the initiative to join the army and being caught as a strong man are by no means the same thing.

Injure one thousand enemies, and self-inflict eight hundred.

Repelled Zhang Yu, our own casualties were also heavy, 370 five people were directly killed in battle, 410 people disappeared, I don’t know if they escaped, or their bodies were taken away by wild beasts, and there were more than 500 disabled people, even if they were cured, Many people can no longer set foot on the battlefield.

"I'll be able to do whatever the general wants." The young and strong were overjoyed when they heard that there was something going on.

"My military law, have you ever endured it?"

"Take it, take it!"

Bai Huahua's interests come first, and those military laws are not worth mentioning.

With them taking the lead, the veterans silently accepted it.

"General, general, I was just joking, and I hope the general will give you another chance." The thorns went back and forth, bowing in front of Li Yue.

"Bah!" Wei Shan spat, "It's clearly for money."

"You guys were joking, but you weren't joking." Li Yue laughed.

"General, we will be loyal..." the thornheads howled unexpectedly.

Li Yue's face darkened, "If you continue to make trouble, you will disturb the morale of the army, and you will be executed according to the law!"

The crying stopped immediately, and the thornheads retreated one by one in disgrace.

"Everyone, military law is not an end, but a means. Otherwise, what can we do to get rid of Jienu and restore our land?" Li Yue waved his big hand, and two bright red banners were resisted.

After experiencing so much, Li Yue has already felt the importance of faith.

People always have to believe in something, otherwise it will be a mess, especially the army, there must be something that unites people's hearts.

The banner fluttered in the cold wind like blood.

All eyes are on...
