Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Liu Sanniang sat in the yard, sleeping in the warm autumn sun.After a while, he sighed: "I never thought I would have this day! Oh, it is such a magical day."

Seeing Chunchun fetching water and washing clothes by the well, he said: "Sister, it's rare for us to have such good weather, let's come and bask in the sun. Don't wash the clothes. Wait a moment for Mrs. Wang to come over, just let her wash them."

Chunchun said: "Let Mrs. Wang wash it, it will cost money."

Liu Sanniang said: "How much money can we spend? This money is nothing here, but Mrs. Wang is of great use."

Chunchun had no choice but to move the small chair and sit next to Liu Sanniang.

The two chatted for a while, and Chunchun suddenly said: "Sanniang, are you still rich with money now?"

After hearing this, Liu Sanniang straightened up from the backrest of the chair and asked, "Why, what do you do with your money?"

Chunchun said: "Last year, I met an older brother. He had a good temperament and was very strong. At that time, he said that he would not marry unless he was me or you. Unfortunately, his master's family was very vicious and there was no such thing as a marriage. Success. Later, I wanted to redeem him from being a slave, but who said no? The master had to pay for a hundred coins, even if it was less than a penny. I did this business in Pingyao City just to make some money. So that I can redeem this brother’s life.”

After hearing this, Liu Sanniang said: "In these days, the war is chaotic. When the imperial army goes north, we still don't know what it will be like. Look at Pingyao, the landlords can't hire people, so they can only come to the county town. Street entrance My tofu shop used to be a landowner in the countryside. I heard that there were hundreds of acres of land next to the Taigu River. Now the county provides farmers with grain loans, seed loans, and farm equipment loans, but they can't recruit anyone, so they have to come to the county to sell tofu. No matter how vicious your brother's master is, isn't he afraid of the army's sword?"

Chunchun sighed, looked at the sun in the sky quietly, and said nothing.

Liu Sanniang grabbed Chunchun's hand and comforted her: "Now that the army is heading north, life will never be the same as before. Just relax and wait with peace of mind."

Chunchun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Wait with peace of mind, but when will it be the end?"

Pingyao County Government, Zhao Ding entered the county government gate, looked at the plaque above his head, and sighed.This time I went to Qixian County. I said the scenery was beautiful, but I always felt something was wrong.The scenery is his own, but it is Shi Rong who is truly admired.any idea?There seems to be no solution.

After entering the conference hall, I saw that everyone from the headquarters had arrived, and Zhao Ding also went to sit in front.

After Zhao Ding sat down, Wang Xiaolie said: "The first batch of reinforcements from the Jin Army has arrived in Taiyuan, and the second batch of reinforcements has also set off. It is estimated that the battle of Taiyuan will begin in full force in a month. I am looking for you to come here today Here, let’s discuss war preparations. Staff Wang, please tell everyone about the current situation.”

Wang Ruohai walked to the front and opened the curtain.Said: "Wanyan Tuhesu of the Jin Army has already entered Qingyuan, and Wulin Datai wants to enter Yuci, forming an inverted triangle configuration with Wanyan Yuying of Taiyuan Prefecture. In addition, Nianhan has appointed Gu Shen as commander and leads an army of 4 to Taiyuan. Come. Yeluyu saw that he was the deputy commander and led an army of 22 people from Hongzhou to the south. In addition, Wanyan Haili's 4 people marched westward from Zhending Mansion via Jingxing Road and headed straight for Taiyuan. A total of 33 troops came to aid the Jin army. On the left and right, plus more than [-] people from Wanyan Tuhesu and Wulin Dataiyu, and [-] people from Wanyan Yuying, there are a total of [-] people. In this battle, the West Route Army can be said to have been attacked by the entire army, and it no longer has any strength. .”

Zhao Ding was startled and said hurriedly: "There are more than [-] Jin troops, what should we do? Since Jingkang, we have never seen so many Jin troops."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It is said that there are 33 people. In fact, Nianhan tried his best and used all kinds of methods to get the heads. The real soldiers who can fight can be divided into half. Like the 4 people from Zhending Mansion. Ten thousand people are actually transporting grain and grass. If we really want to fight, we have to find another way. With so many Jin troops gathered in Taiyuan Prefecture, Taiyuan’s grain is not enough anyway, so they have to mobilize it from Hebei Road. According to the Jin Army’s calculations, we are in There are not 20 troops here, but 60 including those transporting grain and grass behind. But no matter what, this battle is a real strategic decisive battle, a moment that determines the fate of the country!"

After listening to Wang Xiaolie's words, Zhao Ding felt slightly at ease. There were more than 30 gold troops. This number was so scary that Zhao Ding couldn't figure out how to deal with it.In the past few years, tens of thousands of Jin troops searched the mountains and seas, but the Song army had no way to fight.Now there are ten times more Jin troops. What should we do?

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "Commander Wang will also tell you how our army is arranged. Let everyone know."

Wang Ruohai nodded and said: "When the army is fighting, it must avoid the mountains and fight on the plains. On both sides of the Taiyuan Basin, Xie Linong is on the left and Jiang Min is on the right. We have completely occupied the mountains on both sides. In the basin, With Wenshui and Qixian as the fulcrum, and Wenyu Village, Nancun, and Jialing Village as the front line, we are waiting for the enemy to come. There are three divisions on the front line, which basically blocks the Taiyuan Basin. If the war is fierce, the troops in the counties behind can provide support. . Basically, we are based on a few divisions on the front line and fighting a war of attrition with the Jin Army. When Jiang Min enters the Datong Basin, it will be the beginning of a full-scale counterattack." The rest of the people nodded after hearing this.Only Zhao Ding didn't know what Wang Xiaoye's troops would look like in a fight, so he was frightened after hearing Wang Ruohai's words.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Xiaolie stood up and said: "Starting today, the army will be fully mobilized. Our army has been established for four or five years. Since its establishment, mobilization has been intermittently, but the intensity has become stronger and stronger. But To this day, there are still many people who are confused about mobilization and don’t know what to do. This is not possible, and the war cannot be fought well."

Ma Kuo had only been in the army for a short time and was really unclear about mobilization, so he couldn't help but pay more attention.As for Zhao Ding, he had no idea what Wang Xiaolie was talking about and was completely confused.Seeing that everyone else was sitting upright, I had to straighten my back and listen to Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "General mobilization requires that the entire army should be mobilized from Qianjia down, down to every soldier. We must know why we are fighting, what goals we want to achieve, and how to fight. Qianjia, Dujian, From custody to military envoy, the responsibility is internal management, and mobilization is the concentrated expression of internal management. This time, the general mobilization starts from the command, and the mobilization plan must be listed in detail, a summary of each step of implementation, and lessons for future mobilization. Headquarters The mobilization results of each division must be inspected, which can be regarded as the performance of each commander, governor, etc. If it is found that the implementation is weak and inactive, it must be dealt with in a timely manner. Don't wait until the war to find out that it is not working."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Yan: "Secretary Wang, it's up to you to inspect each division."

Wang Yan hurriedly promised.

Wang Xiaolie added: "The army is an organized armed group, and the core of its combat effectiveness lies in its organization. We often say this, and everyone can say it, but many people still don't understand it. When they talk about combat effectiveness, it means It requires the selection of talents, strict discipline, fair rewards and punishments, etc. Are these important? Of course they are important. But these requirements are carried out under a strict organization. Where is the organizational performance of our army? That is, in the jurisdiction and capital Supervise this system. The more complete this system is and the more the work is in place, the better the organization of the army will be. What exactly is the organization of the army? Some people understand it, and some people do not. Those who understand it must be strict in their work. Execution, if you don’t understand, slowly understand it at work. In a word, nothing can destroy the organization of the army.”

The organizational nature of the military is often not recognized by many people during non-war periods.It is believed that an army that is not well organized can be very capable in fighting and can create war miracles.When the military fails, various reasons are often found.If which general does not escape, if which army is rescued, and so on, all kinds of whims.Little did they know that without strict organization, this would be impossible.

In my previous life, I read some anti-Japanese stories, such as the Battle of Songhu, which was quite tragic.The Chinese army fought with 80 troops against 30 Japanese troops. The entire army was defeated and many armies were wiped out.For example, when the Sichuan army came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, so many people came out of Sichuan, and so many people died in battle, which was particularly tragic.

In these battles and these stories, when lamenting the great sacrifices of the predecessors, we must not forget that the Kuomintang army led to many undeserved sacrifices due to its disorganized nature.Because of the disorganized nature, until the end, they were unable to gain an advantage over the Japanese army.

The Chinese figured this out at great cost.The most important thing that distinguishes the People's Liberation Army from its enemies is its strong organization and iron-clad discipline.The two are inseparable and cannot be dismantled.Without solid organization, iron discipline will lose its support.Without iron discipline, an organization will become disorganized.

Are talented generals important?Of course it's important.Is strict discipline important?Of course it's important.Are proficient techniques and tactics important?Of course it's important.There are other things such as a strong body, sophisticated weapons, etc., which are of course important.

But these things must be strictly organized to truly play their role.

If he is an excellent general, how about the Song Chao Shao?Are there strong soldiers in the Song Dynasty?But when fighting against the Jin army, they often collapse.It is often said that the Jin people would use hunting and other activities to train their military abilities.What military capabilities are trained?Isn't it discipline?

Discipline is the foundation of an army's combat effectiveness. All other capabilities must be built on this, otherwise they will be ineffective.It was here that the Song Army had a big problem.Many actions of the Song Dynasty destroyed the organization of the army.

It is nonsense to say that using culture to control force, or that advocating culture and restraining force suppresses the enthusiasm of generals.First of all, the salary of the generals of the Song Army is higher than that of the civil servants. In this case, just because of their lower status, they have no enthusiasm for fighting. What a kid.

The combat effectiveness of the army must first be considered from the organization of the army.Focus on organization and study other issues.Just one sentence of advocating culture over martial arts, and then finding various examples of advocating culture over martial arts, and saying that this is the reason, is pure nonsense with closed eyes.

Before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, due to political reasons, there was nothing to say about the Song and Ming Dynasty's lack of combat effectiveness because of their emphasis on culture and suppression of military force.If you still say this after arriving in New China, and if you still say this after comparing the People's Liberation Army and the National Army, there is something wrong with your brain.

The combat effectiveness of an army is first of all its organizational ability. Wang Xiaolie must command his army around this.
