How are the Red Army's rules of discipline different from the behaviour of other Chinese armies?
Possible answers:
These rules show the Red Army's strict discipline and respect for peasants, such as replacing doors, rolling up straw mats, and paying for items.
Other Chinese armies (e.g., Guomindang and warlords) behaved oppositely: they looted homes, stole goods without payment, damaged property, and mistreated civilians.
The Red Army's conduct won peasant loyalty, while rivals' abuses drove support away from them.
