Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 514 You belong to the power?Or is the power yours?
The banquet was over and everyone dispersed.Wang Xiaolie sat alone in the study, staring out the window in a daze.

There is no moon in the sky, and the stars scattered all over the sky cannot illuminate the world.In the dappled light and shadow, there are insects singing and moths flying, and various stories are staged.

Outside of human eyesight, this world is actually very lively, with countless joys and sorrows.

After sitting blankly for a while, Wang Xiaolie came back to his senses and sighed heavily.

In a year or two, you want your subordinates to change their thinking and work style, so that the entire army can take on a different look. How is that possible?But without Wang Xiaolie, there is no time.If the army cannot be roughly finalized in the past two years, it will face war.

It is not impossible to transform the army in war, it is just more difficult.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help feeling upset.Stand up, go out the door, blowing the cool evening breeze.

How to transform the army?There should be many methods, the key depends on the leader's positioning of the army.It is naive to think that the military has nothing to do with politics and that the military has its own logic.The military itself is a part of politics, how can it be divorced from politics?
Wang Xiaolie's political thinking is to pull the Mandate of Heaven from the sky and let it represent the will of the people.Under this general principle, the status of the army is also determined.The army is mainly engaged in foreign wars, and generally does not participate in internal affairs.Because the army comes from the people, defends the people, and is inseparable from the people, which determines the position of soldiers in the army is different from before.

The most important thing to set up positions such as Qian Jurisdiction is to refer to the political commissars of later generations.However, these positions are not equivalent to political commissars. They also refer to the positions of supervising the army and taking over on horseback that existed in history.Their work is also very different from that of political commissars, mainly responsible for internal management.Ensure that the army is in order, and at the same time ensure that the status of the soldiers is not oppressed by the officers.Defend the soldiers in front of the military commander.In front of the soldiers, it is also necessary to ensure the discipline of the army.This official position naturally has two faces.

Why are there two faces?Because they are the internal managers of the army, they have to face both the commander and the soldiers, which is a natural requirement of their positions.If you can't clearly understand the characteristics of the position, you can't do the job well.

It now appears that Yuan Gai has not done well enough in his position in the Chinese army.As people who came from the old times, it was still difficult for Yuan Ji and others to understand the characteristics of this position, and they couldn't position themselves properly.

Standing in the cool wind blowing in front of him, Wang Xiaolie sighed helplessly.Although I know that the current situation is actually normal, I still feel a little reconciled.In the past one or two years, there will be no major wars.It's a pity that I can't seize this rare gap and train the army to be what I want.Although in the next war, the troops can be improved in the war, that is another matter after all.

The next day, in the official hall of the county government, Wang Xiaolie, Wang Ruohai, and personnel from the Chinese Army Command gathered together.Xu Changxing introduced the situation of Li Zhong's troops ahead, Yuan Ji introduced the work in the army, and Zhang Yin introduced the preparations in the army.

The introduction is over.Wang Ruohai stood up and said, "Wang Yan of Jinzhou asked for help, and Commander-in-Chief Jie decided to save Junzhou with the Chinese army that eliminated the right army and the rear army. This time, we must do our best, plan carefully, kill chickens with a sledgehammer, and annihilate Li Zhong's army in the first battle." Department! With Zuo Yu Hou Linwei as the vanguard, lead the front army, the left army and the cavalry to set off two days later. After arriving in Junzhou, set up camp ten miles away from the city and wait for the army to arrive. During this time, Junzhou must be cleared All the reconnaissance cavalry under Li Zhong's command outside the city prevented Li Zhong's entire army from going out of the city. However, before the army arrives, don't engage Li Zhong head-on."

Lin Wei got up, crossed his hands and sang promises.

This is the characteristic of Wang Xiaohun's fighting, using the forwards to fight for the control of the battlefield, making the enemy blind.The front army and the left army are the elite troops in the army, plus a cavalry, the strength is enough.

Wang Ruohai said: "The engineering regiment is under the command of Lin Wei for the time being, and they will set off with the vanguard. Roads will be repaired, bridges will be erected in case of water, to ensure the smooth flow of the roads for the follow-up large troops. Now we have artillery, and the road requirements are different from before. A few months You should all be clear about the drill. This is the first long-distance march, and you must be extra careful! Not only do things have to be done well, but also your work logs must be clearly recorded. The problems encountered on the road are the focus of subsequent improvements. Don't miss it."

Lin Wei crossed his hands to promise.

Wang Ruohai said: "Li Du is in charge of the affairs of the envoy and his party. From tomorrow onwards, return to Jieshuai's headquarters. The army will be commanded by Zhang Yin. You will set off before Jieshuai and garrison at Tutai. After Jieshuai arrives, arrange Next move."

Li Yanxian and Zhang Yin said yes together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the first battle after the real training of the army. You must keep your spirits up and don't be careless. We will not only win this battle, but also win it beautifully. The Chinese army has suffered for several months. The results of the battle have boosted the morale of the soldiers. Another point is that although Li Zhong's soldiers are only a few thousand, they still have tens of thousands of civilians. We must settle these civilians. We can't destroy Li Zhong, just ignore them Yes. Yuan Ji has to draw up a resettlement plan in advance and prepare enough money and food. When the war is over, bring them back to our rule."

Yuan Ji bowed his hand and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said: "For the country, it is the people. Why do we serve as soldiers? To protect the home and the country, it is the people who protect the country. Even in wartime, the people cannot be ignored. You can't just kill the enemy and make meritorious service. And ignore the people. Li Zhong and other forces are used to coercing the people. Occupying a rich place, forcing the people to join the army, it expanded to tens of thousands of people at once. Once the battle is unfavorable, the subordinates will disperse like birds and beasts. Wherever they pass, Not only money and food are robbed, but people are also lost on a large scale. This is wrong, we cannot do this kind of thing.”

Yuan Ji said yes.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "This time to rescue Junzhou, in addition to fighting, Qianju organized the officers to have a discussion. As officers, they hold huge power in their hands. They must first answer where the power comes from. For officers, Do you belong to the power, or does the power belong to you? If you belong to the power, then you should be careful and do what the power requires. If the power belongs to you, then lawlessness and reckless behavior! The answer is actually very simple, but it needs to be discussed The content is not simple. Everyone needs to understand what power is and how it comes from. Only after understanding these can we understand how to use the power in our hands."

Yuan Gai couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard this.After a while, he said: "Huai Jieshuai, I don't understand—"

"It's not that Bai has nothing to do, go back and figure it out." Wang Xiaolie waved his hand. "You have to be clear about one thing. Our army is different from other armies, and it is also different from any army in history. It can be said that it is unprecedented. Many things cannot be relied on experience or what the ancients said. In the end The most important thing is that our knowledge should come from practice. Use theory to guide practice, use practice to modify theory, and this process will never stop.”

Is there any truth in the world that never changes and is always correct?Wang Xiaolie thinks there is no such thing.It doesn't matter whether it exists or not in the world, it doesn't matter to human beings.Because human beings understand the almost infinite world with limited ability, any theory that can be summed up has limitations.Theories with these limitations cannot correctly guide practice, but can only be roughly correct.It is in practice that the shortcomings of the theory are recognized and necessary corrections are made.So before practice, the correct theory does not exist.The theory is revised and the practice is over.

Only by understanding the relationship between theory and practice can we study and work correctly.Human knowledge can only open a door to the world.After entering this door, knowledge must be constantly revised.This is not only true of humanistic knowledge, but also of scientific knowledge.

A characteristic of European civilization is the pursuit of truth, especially the pursuit of absolute truth.Some people say that this is the reason why their culture leads the world, and many people even subconsciously think this is the case.In fact, no, the Chinese culture does not understand Tao in this way.

In pursuit of absolute truth, no matter who it is, no matter what theory it is, if you follow their theory and go to the end of time, you will find God standing there.This is the imprint of European civilization, and their civilization is hard to avoid.

Whether it is politics or economy, whether it is material or spiritual, is there only one way for human beings?If you don't go this way, you will be wrong.Going this way is correct and advanced?Certainly not.
