How did Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin manage military discipline?

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, quickly established the founding scale on the ruins of Sui Dynasty, and appeared in rare places in history? Zhenguan rule? It is precisely because he took the demise of the Sui Dynasty as a warning and regarded the relationship between the people and the monarch as the relationship between water and ships. The knife cuts bread and fingers. People are like water and people are like boats. ? People's misfortune does not come from the outside, but from themselves. If a man's lust is too strong, he will spend more money and property, and if he spends more money and property, he will increase taxes. If he raises taxes, the people will be sad and the country will be unstable. The country is unstable, and the monarch cannot but die? . This is for seniors? The people are the country, but what about Bunning in Ben Gu? Inheritance and development of ideas.

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin

Under the guidance of this thought, he formulated and implemented a series of clear policies to support, protect and care for the people. As well as the disciplines and regulations formulated by the army, fully embodies this progressive thought of loving the people. Tang Jun's "Regulations and Discipline of Army Management" clearly stipulates: Although the official broke the enemy, killed indiscriminately, sent graves, burned huts, plowed fields and cut down trees, were all broken? ; ? The adulterer's wife and daughter, and put the women's camp and cut them? .

In the second year of Guangde, Tang Daizong (AD 764), Tang Jun entered Yizhou (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province). Guo, the leader, has always been bohemian, lax in military discipline and often runs amok by virtue of his father's high position. One day, an old woman with long hair knelt in front of Duan, an official in charge of military discipline, complaining that another 17 soldiers of Guo army rushed into her hotel and stabbed the housekeeper with a knife. Grab the old wine and smash the wine device. Duan Shi Xiu rushed to the scene for investigation and handling, and 17 foot soldiers were all killed on the spot. Hang your head down and show it to the public as an example.

When Guo found out, he wanted to arrest Duan. Duan was resolute and came to Guo's army. Education foot soldiers:? As the guards of the Tang Dynasty, everyone in the military camp supports you. Are good people bad to you? The foot soldiers answered in unison? No? . Duan said to him:? Since the people have not wronged you, why do you want to make trouble and hurt the people? At this moment, Guo came out and saw Duan. He was really jealous. When his enemies met, Guo blurted out wild words. Regardless of personal grievances, Duan said earnestly: Deputy Marshal Guo has made great contributions. As the son of Deputy Marshal Guo, you should cherish your father's reputation! Now, your military discipline is loose, your foot soldiers are violent and the people are angry. At this rate, how much can Deputy Marshal Guo keep? Duan speaks sincerely. Touching.

Guo was deeply moved by Duan's words. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. ? Over the years, I have relied on my parents' high position to do things, and there is no military discipline and state law. Nobody cares, and nobody dares to care. Today, thanks to your wisdom, I woke up and saved me and the soldiers I led. ? Then Guo ordered the foot soldiers: in the future, if anyone harms the people again, they will cut them mercilessly. ? Since then, the soldiers and civilians in Zhangzhou have been safe and the road has not been answered.

In the middle Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Xingyuan (AD 784), when Li Sheng led the Shence Army to attack the rebels who occupied Chang 'an in Kyoto, in a sense, its victory was inseparable from the strict discipline of Li Sheng's army. Before the start of the battle, Li Sheng made it clear that after the rebels were defeated and entered Chang 'an, all the soldiers of the army were not allowed to harass Kyoto people under any pretext, rob property or behead those who violated military orders. The Shence Army led by him was rushed to Guanzhong by Hebei, and the military discipline was strict all the way.

When Li Huai-guang joined hands with Zhu rebels, Li Huai-guang's army robbed the people of their cattle and horses, and the people suffered greatly from Li Huai-guang's army, but Li did nothing. When attacking the capital, Jing was sent to assist Chang 'an's envoy Chen and others to tell the people that the Shence army was disciplined and Qiu did not commit a crime, so there was no need to panic. Later practice proved that Shence Army did have strict military discipline. There may still be people looking for horses left by the rebels in Zhi Zhu. It was his general who robbed a female musician of the enemy. Sima Zhou took two horses from Zhu Zhi's army, and Li was killed. All the troops are fearless. Thousands of Li Sheng troops marched into Beijing, leaving the people behind. At that time, it was a feat not seen since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
