Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Had some tea.Wang Xiaohun said to Liu Ziyu: "The appearance of an army must start from the little things in life. Let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the life of the army through the norms of the little things in life. When everyone is used to it, the army has strict rules. Discipline. Senator, the discipline of the army is not based on severe punishment, let alone beheading. The training of officers and soldiers is very troublesome. Only when you are not afraid of trouble can you train the army well."

Liu Ziyu nodded silently.After thinking for a while, he said, "What exactly do officers learn in this military academy? Commanding the army is nothing more than Sun Wu's Art of War, and the Six Secrets and Three Strategies. What I want is for students to read silently and have someone explain it."

Wang Xiaohun said with a smile: "What is the age, this is not what is mainly taught in the classroom. In this military academy, there will be Sun Wu's art of war, Liu Tao and Three Strategies, but they are not the main courses anymore. Officers study Yes, it is military mobilization, military topography, strategy, tactics, and army commanding, etc. Only after learning these courses can they graduate. They must really understand the army and be able to command the army. Can you learn from this military book?"

Liu Ziyu opened his mouth and said after a while, "I haven't heard of these courses."

Wang Xiaohun said: "We also explored little by little, and gradually summed up the knowledge that should be learned in the military academy, and started these courses. As the courses mature, the students learn more and more specific in the military school. Once they graduate, It is a qualified grass-roots officer."

These contents are not in the military books.In the past, we had to rely on the students' own understanding and the old general's words and deeds.Someone needs to teach, and students need to pay attention to themselves, and it may not be able to teach one out of ten.In the military school, it is clearly divided into various courses, which are taught by professional teachers.Not only the daily management of the army can be learned, but also various military theories can be learned.Nine out of ten can be taught, and they are suitable for junior officers.As for the higher-level generals, these lower-level officers need to be selected from among them while fighting and learning at the same time.

These contents, this kind of teaching method is something Liu Ziyu has never heard of before, so he can't help but be stunned.I originally thought that the so-called military academy is nothing more than selecting a group of outstanding soldiers and teaching them by veterans.But I didn't expect that this is the way to learn here.

Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaohun said, "It's still early, let's go and hear how they teach, how about that?"

Liu Ziyu nodded and followed Wang Xiaohun into a classroom next to him.

What we are talking about here is military history, and today we are mainly talking about the Five Dynasties period.

It briefly talked about the history of the Five Dynasties, and the teacher above explained the military systems of various countries during the Five Dynasties.What are the characteristics and how the army is organized.How soldiers are mobilized, how to live in the army, how to get promoted, and how to retire.

This era is not far from the Five Dynasties, the information is detailed, the teacher cooperates with some practical examples, and the lecture is particularly vivid.

At the end, the teacher said: "Every time we talk about ancient military history, we have to ask you a question from the first lesson. Why did one Han become a five-husband in the Han Dynasty, and when we arrived in the Song Dynasty, the five Hans may not be a one-hu? This? Think carefully about the problem, and hand in a homework after class.”

After speaking, he nodded to Wang Xiaohun, who was sitting at the back, and ordered the get out of class to be dismissed.

After leaving the class, Wang Xiaolie said to Liu Ziyu: "Because it is a new student, I am teaching simple courses now. The real basic military courses will take some time to start. Counselor, this is how we teach here, and other places different."

Liu Ziyu nodded, not knowing what to say for a while.This is a teaching method that has never been done before, and teaching content that has never been done before.

Why did the Central Plains army's combat effectiveness against the northern nomads decline after the late Tang and Five Dynasties?Of course there are many arguments.However, this kind of overall change in strength must start from the social system, political system, economic system, and military system, and then peel off the cocoon little by little, so as to be able to draw a general outline.

For example, during the Five Dynasties period, the scale of wars was significantly smaller than that in the Warring States Period, and the intensity of wars increased significantly.The social organization changed from big landlords and big nobility to small landlords.The ability to mobilize for war has declined, the intensity of war has increased, and mercenaries have prevailed.The entire society has undergone profound changes.Social change affects military change.The organizational form of the army has changed, and so has the form of warfare.

The specific reasons require in-depth analysis from the social, political and economic aspects in order to arrive at a general answer.

As for the historical analysis of later generations, it is purely hilarious to say that it is because of respect for culture and suppression of martial arts.Such an answer obviously does not conform to historical materialism, let alone historical facts.Chongwen and suppression of martial arts can only be said to be the effect of military reform, not the cause.

After the late Tang and Five Dynasties, China's military tradition has not been changed until the new China.A dynasty, even if it was vigorous when the country was first established, will soon become rotten.Some people refer to the army as the ancient army, the modern army, and the modern army, but they still fail to grasp the core of it.The core is that China has disappeared from the gates of the late Tang and Five Dynasties and entered the era of small landlords and self-cultivation farmers.The country did not make corresponding changes to adapt the army to the new dynasty.

People of this era, because of the fact that the historical materials are detailed, can see it more clearly than those of later generations.Since the establishment of the military academy, this question has been discussed for several years, and finally a convincing answer has been obtained.This answer provided support for Wang Xiaolie's army reform.

Liu Ziyu listened to the discussion of the students for a while, and felt that they were talking wildly, and that he had entered a completely different world.I have never thought of looking at society in this way and analyzing society in this way.It never occurred to me that it is necessary to have such a profound understanding of society before changing the military system.

After leaving the class, Liu Ziyu looked at the sun in the sky and didn't know what to say for a while.

After walking for a long time, Liu Ziyu said: "I entered the military academy today, which is really eye-opening! I didn't feel anything in the recruit camp, but when I arrived at the military academy, I realized how big the gap between the army and the other armies is! It’s true that when there are soldiers in the boot camp, officers like the military academy are needed. And only such officers can command the soldiers from the boot camp! The two are one and cannot be separated!”

Wang Xiaohun said: "From the Tang to the Song Dynasty, the society seems to have changed little, but in fact it has changed a lot! In the face of the new society, we must make corresponding changes so that the army can adapt to the new era. Instead of being high, said The generals are cowardly, and the soldiers are afraid of death. If so, what hope does this army have? What hope does this country have? We need to be truthful, brave and bold to change, and find a way to survive!"

Liu Ziyu nodded.Yes, there must be one reason or another for not winning on the battlefield.As a commander of the party, it is necessary to find out the reasons and carry out corresponding reforms.The more rotten the military in reality, the more drastic reforms need to be.

Under Wang Xiaolie's rule, not only the army was different from other armies, but the society, politics, and economy were different everywhere.These differences are intertwined and intertwined to bring about a completely different face of the whole society.

From the time he arrived in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaohun carried out reforms and has been cautious.For fear of what is wrong, what is inappropriate, try step by step.It was not until he defeated Jin Jun in Shanzhou that he finally confirmed that what he had done was correct.This kind of correctness has not only made the economy more prosperous and the people's lives better, but has also brought about tremendous progress in the military.His progress in the military has confirmed that he can defeat the Jin Army and usher in a new era.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Wang Xiaohun was truly confident that he would completely change this era.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Wang Xiaohun was truly confident that he would completely change this era.This change is not because the army has suddenly become stronger and can defeat the Jin Man.It is a nation that has been reborn and ushered in a new life.
