Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 21 The Power Comes Out of the Barrel of a Gun

"Retired! Retired! The golden man has retired!"

Above the city wall, Song Jun shouted loudly, venting his happiness to the fullest.After seven days of hard fighting, the Jin army finally withdrew.

Wang Xiaohun stood on the tower and looked at the retreating Jin Army, with mixed feelings for a while.After these days, every day, my chest seems to be pressed against a large stone, and I dare not relax in the slightest.Every night, he had to lead troops out of the city to harass him, which was really hard.As the leader, I can't tell others about these difficulties, and I have to boost their morale at any time.

Many times, Wang Xiaohun had imagined what it would be like for the Jin Army to retreat.Jin Jun really retired today, but he felt empty.

Xie Linong stepped forward and said, "Xiao Sheren, do you want to follow behind and see if Jin Jun really retreated, and where did he retreat?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "Of course I want it. After a while, you and Yu Huan will lead 50 people out of the city. Just follow the Jin people from a distance, and don't get too close to cause trouble. If there is any change, immediately Come back to town and report."

Xie Linong agreed and went to prepare with Yu Huan.

Jin Bing retreated, surrounded and solved, in fact, Wang Xiaohun could not care about that much.The siege of the city by an army cannot be completed in an instant.Even if the Jin army came back, Wang Xiaohun could easily lead people to retreat.After so many days, why did Wang Xiaohun leave in a hurry like a lost dog?When the Jinbing retreats, everything is arranged properly, wouldn't it be good to go in a generous way.

The city was already jubilant.The people sang and danced to celebrate the victory in the battle of defending the city.Wang Xiaohun came down from the city, cheering everywhere.

After walking through the crowd and arriving at the county government gate, Wang Xiaohun let out a sigh of relief.

This time was different from killing the Fifty Golden Army Rangers a few days ago, there were no spectators at that time.Victory in the end, without even cheering.Although there were not many people in Gongxian City after the war, hundreds of people made troubles, and it was still very lively.Looking at the festive crowd, Wang Xiaohun felt heartfelt joy.In the days of the Jin army's southern invasion, this joy was really not much.

After entering the county office, Yang Shen came over and said: "Xiaosheren, the Jin people were defeated, and the people insisted on celebrating. It's just that although there is food in the city, there is no wine and meat. A few people outside Liu Yuan said that they wanted to Send a few people out of the city and buy some wine and meat back."

Wang Xiaohun said: "If there is a place for sale, I'll send someone there. There is no money in the army, so the staff will send some money to the army."

Yang Shen smiled and shook his head: "Xiaosheren, the Jin army has come and gone a few times in this area, and the common people are dying.

Just as Wang Xiaohun was about to refute, he thought about it.People can only live like this, what else can they do?When the army comes, go out early and go on with your life.The army is gone, and they come out of hiding again.If one is not careful and suffers a military disaster, he can only admit that he is unlucky.Even if he drives Jin Jun away, is he still going to leave?If you don't keep the place for a long time, don't destroy the order of the place.

The Jin army went north to Mengzhou, crossed the Yellow River, and went to Hedong Road.Wang Xiaohun stayed in Gong County for another three days before deciding to leave.

Liu Yuanwai and others set up a case of incense, wine and meat on the side of the road to see off Wang Xiaohun.

After leaving the county office, Wang Xiaohun surrendered: "In Gongxian these days, I have troubled the local elders. I ate a lot of food, wine and meat from you, and I should have given you money, but the army is short of money, so I have to write it down for the time being."

Liu Yuanwai said: "The general said that, it is a shame for the little ones! Since Jinren came from the south, I don't know how many troops have passed here. Have you ever won a game before? This prosperous place is now ten rooms and nine empty, and there are only ten rooms left. Let's take our lives. Not to mention eating some wine and meat, the general will win this battle, and I am willing to ask our heads. Alas, once the general is gone, I don't know when it will be peaceful."

Hearing his sadness, Wang Xiaohun didn't know what to say for a while.Everything happened so suddenly, I didn't think about what to do in the future, what strategy, what policy to implement, what kind of policy, everything.Even how to get along with the people, how to develop, and what to do in the future, Wang Xiaohun didn't even think about it.Things push him forward step by step.

I don't know when there will be peace.This sentence hit Wang Xiaohun's heart.

Yes, when will there be peace?For the people in the Central Plains, if they didn't come by themselves, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of years later.What are they doing wrong?They did nothing wrong.Because the army could not fight, the robbers from the north came, as if it were only natural.

Why?In the past life, it was often said that if you fell behind, you would be beaten.This is the logic of facing robbers, there is no way but to encourage their own words.Did the Song Dynasty fall behind?Relative to the world, it is not far behind.But still to be beaten.And it didn't take long for the country to become independent, and it would die again and again, one after another, until the country was destroyed.

Falling behind doesn't necessarily mean getting beaten.Just like the Jin Dynasty.He was behind Liao and Song, but he came over.In the end, the most fundamental thing you don't want to be beaten is to be able to beat yourself.If you can't fight by yourself, that's not okay.

Is there justice in this world?Maybe there is.But you can't fight, you're not even qualified to talk about axioms.

In the past life, there were various summaries and plays on ancient history.It can be concluded that there are dynastic cycles, there are slaves, feudal and capitalist generations, all kinds of things, and they are well-informed.But for the people of this world, it is not of much use.

In the face of the Jin Dynasty's invasion, what should the Song Dynasty do?According to the knowledge of the previous life, you can go to capitalism, or even socialism, or learn the history of some small European countries, and so on.is that useful?

Wang Xiaohun shook his head.

useless.What's the use of doing those.The most important thing is to allow the army to fight and to truly defeat the Jin army on the battlefield.Only after winning on the battlefield can everything else be said.

Why can't Song Jun fight?The history of the previous life told myself that it was because of the use of literature to control martial arts.The status of the soldier is low, and there is no one willing to join the army.Military generals have a low status, can't be prime ministers, can't control the government, how can there still be excellent talents?
Now I know that's not the case.At most, this is just a prescription prescribed out of thin air by literati who do not understand martial arts.The military commander has a high status, is it higher than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Republic of China period in the previous life?Can the army fight?Soldiers are looked down upon, can they still be lower than when the UK swept the world?The United Kingdom used rogue sweaters as soldiers and fought all over the world.

The military is an organized group of violence, not just a group of violence.The organization of the army directly affects the combat effectiveness of the army.From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the organizational power of the Chinese army has decreased too much.During the Five Dynasties, there were arrogant soldiers and warriors, and there was no one in the past and no one in the future.After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the military system continued without fundamental reform.In the great unified dynasty, the arrogant soldiers were gone, but the system was preserved.During the Taiping period, the following system cannot be imposed, and it is the norm that the battlefield is unfavorable and scattered.

Since the Song Dynasty, such a military system has directly affected the combat effectiveness of the army.At the beginning, the organizational strength did not depend on the system, and the winners were invincible for decades.Over the past few decades, the organization slowly disintegrated, and it became a mess of sand.

Military is an extension of politics, but military is by no means politics, and has its own independence.Throughout Chinese history, the organization of the army should be the strongest during the Warring States Period.When Qin unified the six countries, the organizational power can be considered to have reached its peak.But the foundation of the military is politics. Without politics, the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be maintained.Qin II collapsed.

Why did Britain use rogues as soldiers to colonize the world?Because of their politics.Without political support, even if the army is strong for a while, it cannot be maintained.

At this time in the Song Dynasty, the army could not fight, and the politics was in a mess. How could it compete with the Jin army?In history, Yue Fei's rise, seeing the hope of defeating the Jin Army, was also dragged by politics, and finally he was unjustly killed in Storm Wave Pavilion.

In order to make a difference at this time, we must first have an army that can fight.With the army, there is everything.After winning the battle, think about what kind of politics will be used to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

Looking at the people of Maqian's army, Wang Xiaohun felt a little sad.Power comes from the barrel of a gun, maybe that's what it means.If you want to create a situation in troubled times, you must first have a gun.Such a gun barrel will inevitably kill the world into a river of blood, and only then can a peaceful and prosperous age be truly created.Are the people guilty?They were born in this era and had to face this kind of life.
