After
this age, there will be many kings, Hans and many sons from them. If
their advisors, and the wise people with them do not protect the order,
the Hanate and the Soltanate will be shaken. When their order is shaken,
they will long for the return of Oguz Han but it is impossible.
There
will always be many captains, commanders, and generals. Are those who do
not abide by the advice of Oguz capable of leading armies? Those who do
not listen to our advice in their own land are like those cast into
great seas who cannot swim, or they like an arrow shot into a great
forest. Such people cannot be leaders.
A
man who can order his household can lead ten people. He who leads ten
people can govern fifty people. Whoever leads fifty people has the right
to govern a hundred people. He who governs a hundred people can be the
leader of one thousand people. Whoever controls a thousand people can be
the leader of an army division. And he who can control an army division
is easily able to be the ruler of his tribe. One who can be a ruler can
also be the leader of a province.
Whoever
keeps his household in order can safeguard his property and country from
liars and thieves.
If
a corporal cannot control his household, it is obvious that his son and
wife share the responsibility. From his army unit of ten men a new
corporal should be elected. The same method should be applied to other
rulers, such as commanders, ruler of divisions and so on. If a man
commits a crime, the commander of the division should request from the
major the identity of the man. The major should request the name of the
criminal from the captain. Finally, in this way, the criminal should be
found and punished. The perpetrators of theft and robbery should be
caught and punished in the same way. |
