Chapter 267 Regulations on Military Control of Civilians

The result of the discussion was that Li Mengxi initially felt that the number of auxiliary tools should be equipped according to the strength of the troops.

For example, if a thousand people always have ten shovels and ten saws, then ten thousand people have to keep a hundred shovels and a hundred saws, and a hundred thousand people have to keep a thousand shovels and a thousand saws.

However, Guan Yu thought this was inappropriate.

Guan Yu thought there was no need to bring so many tools.

Because when a thousand people cross a mountain and a valley, twenty people are needed to clear the way. When a hundred thousand people cross a mountain and a valley, only twenty people are needed to clear the way. It’s not that more people can’t be sent, but because the mountain road is so wide.

If you send too many people, it won't be able to expand at all.

Not only when opening the road.

Even if we dig embankments to store water for water attack, the river is only a little wider, so there is no need to continuously accumulate auxiliary tools according to the proportion of troop strength.

Li Mengxi thought about it, this is what happened.

Logistics capabilities in ancient times were limited, and every bit of carrying capacity had to be calculated carefully.

If fifty hoes are enough, why bring five hundred.

Isn’t it okay to pull two more carts of grain and two more carts of arrows?

Then, Guan Yu said that what he saw during the day was not enough.

"In the daytime, I picked out sword and ax hands and got five men, but the army lacked a big ax to behead people." Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

The big axe that beheads the head, when you hear this name, it sounds awesome.

And Li Mengxi remembered that a long time ago, when Guan Yu took him to identify weapons, he saw an oversized axe. At that time, he was on his way back to Zhuozhou after defeating Cheng Yuanzhi's troops.

But now, Guan Yu said that there is no big ax in the army. I think he didn't bring it.

The big axe is so heavy that it can only be used by a few fierce men. Ordinary soldiers cannot lift it at all, nor can they swing it.

When he left Zhuozhou, Guan Yu didn't think about the sword and axe, so he left the big ax behind in Zhuozhou and didn't bring him with him.

Now it's better, the sword and axemen have been formed, but the ax to chop people's heads is not.

Moreover, the big axe is still a very special weapon, and you may not be able to encounter it, let alone capture it.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Xu Huang used a big axe, which was very powerful.

As for whether a carpenter's ax can beheaded? The answer is, no, it is too light and does not have enough potential.

So, do the military have heavy beheading knives like those in ancient TV dramas, those executioners holding nine-tooth serial beheadings?

No.

Similar heavy-handed beheading knives only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

As for the knives of the Han Dynasty, swords had just been eliminated in the Han Dynasty, knives had just become the mainstream of warfare, and the development of knife shapes had just begun, and special knife shapes had not yet been developed.

Think carefully about the weapons in the army that can cut off people's heads at once, such as Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue, and Liu Bei's deadly double sword.

In addition, the ring-hand knives widely equipped in the army are unable to decapitate people with a single blow.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu both talked about the omissions they discovered today, and they both looked at Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi scratched his head for a long time and couldn't think of what to say.

"Military law." After thinking for a long time, Li Mengxi said, "The people went out to collect separately today, and someone caught the hare."

"Our army only has military discipline, not civilian discipline, and there are no sergeants to manage civilian discipline."

"It's better if I keep an eye on you all the time. No one dares to bully the common people."

"But if you don't keep an eye on me, a sergeant snatches the rabbit from the farmer's hands.

As discussed before, if this civilian man is a brave man, and the hare in his hand is snatched by the sergeant, he gets angry and seizes the patrolman's knife at night, rushes into the commander's tent, and then takes the commander's head, wouldn't our army not

A big defeat?"

“If sergeants have no laws to follow when governing the people, they cannot act in accordance with the laws and cannot enforce the law rigorously.

Therefore, we should strictly enforce the laws governing the people."

Li Mengxi explained the problem.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu couldn't help but ponder. What Li Mengxi said involved military discipline again.

If you study carefully, you will find that most of the things Li Mengxi mentioned are related to military discipline and law.

This was not something he did deliberately, it was more like something he thought of naturally.

People who come from a legal society do have legal concepts deeply embedded in their habits and thinking.

As soon as Li Mengxi mentioned military discipline, things became complicated.

It is more difficult to solve than the armaments reserve mentioned by Liu Bei and the big ax mentioned by Guan Yu.

Afterwards, the three people discussed and came up with seven orders for the management of civilian husbands.

"One: Everything you encounter in the wild, whether wild vegetables, rabbits or boars, belongs to whoever gets it, and there is no fighting over it."

This article is aimed at the conflicts between civilians and husbands.

"Second: Each ranger has the duty of patrolling and guarding when the people are away. If there are tigers and wild boars in the forest, the ranger has the duty of killing the animals and protecting people."

This article describes the responsibilities of the wanderers when the peasants went out to collect.

"Third: Each ranger is patrolling and guarding, and is not allowed to participate in collection without permission."

This is to prevent the rangers from quitting their jobs and coveting the harvest of wild vegetables from the common people everywhere, so they would put down their jobs to grab wild vegetables.

This is inappropriate for two reasons. First, the rangers have horses and weapons, and they are not short of food. It is not appropriate to snatch the meager few wild vegetables from the peasants.

Just imagine, a commoner has finally found a wild vegetable, and you are riding a horse, running fast, to see who finds the wild vegetable, you immediately slap the horse over, and grab the wild vegetable by grabbing the lead. Are you angry? Do you scold your mother?

Should I scold Youqi’s mother? Should I scold Liu Xuande’s mother? Should I scold Li Mengxi’s mother?

This is competing with the people for profit. Not only can we not win a few wild vegetables, but it makes the people feel uncomfortable.

The more important point is that the peasants have little organization and fighting ability. If a tiger or something rushes out of the woods, the ranger will have to go up to drive the tiger away. If the ranger is busy dismounting and digging for wild vegetables, no one will care about the tiger.

.

The tiger is about to rush out, and if there is a slight delay, several people will die.

A human life is much more precious than wild vegetables.

Just because you qi dug a few more wild vegetables and killed several people, you should make a big loss.

To be honest, the lives of civilian husbands are not important.

What about the military doctor? Military doctor Tian Bu often went out to find herbs after setting up camp, and often walked far away.

In case Tian Bu encounters a wolf unfortunately, he will run away desperately.

But coincidentally, the nearby rangers were just looking for wild vegetables and did not have time to rescue them.

When he found out that the wolf had been chased out, Yuqi hurriedly mounted his horse. A step too late, Tian Bu was bitten to death by the wolf.

Well, as the current chief medical officer of the army, Tian Bu is very important.

If Tian Bu was gone, Li Mengxi would have to spend a lot of time distilling spirits every day and would be unable to do anything else.

Furthermore, without Tian Bu, anyone in the army who had a headache or fever would not be able to find someone to prescribe medicine.

The losses have been huge.

Just because of a few wild vegetables, how much risk has been added to the army.

Therefore, the cyclists have a heavy responsibility and must not compete with the peasants for wild vegetables.

"Fourth: Riders are not allowed to ask for anything from civilians. Anyone who dares to ask for anything will be killed immediately! Even if they take money to buy it, they will not allow it."

Begging is bullying. The people are afraid of Youqi, and if Youqi really asks the people for rabbits, the people dare not refuse to give them.

Even if you buy it with money, it's still bullying. Why? How enlightened are you, and how much money will you kindly give?

With enough power and rights, bullying is almost an instinctive reaction. The civilian husband caught a very fat wild rabbit, and the ranger threw a penny and asked the rabbit to go away.

This is considered a purchase because I paid for it.

But don’t husbands scold their mothers?

Don’t you scold Yuqi’s mother? Don’t you scold Liu Xuande’s mother?
