Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 466 The Risk of Reform

In many cases, things like military academies were really not necessary for the unified dynasty of ancient China.

Among them, except for the era of great unification, the role of the army will decline to a large extent, which is a bit like "Taiping is originally set by the general, and the general is not allowed to see Taiping".

For example, Fu Jian originally established a martial arts hall, intending to impart professional military skills.

But at that time, Zhu Xun, a confidant minister who was as famous as Wang Meng, advised Fu Jian, saying that only the garbage south of the Yangtze River was left unfinished in the Jin Dynasty. Next, we should gradually stop the war and increase the practice of culture and virtue.

Now that the soldiers are experienced in many battles, and most of the teachers who teach are civil servants, it is useless to build a lecture hall, and it will damage their reputation, so why bother.

You must know that Zhu Xun was considered to be the main war faction of the former Qin Dynasty. Even people like him think that the existence of the military academy after the reunification is unnecessary, let alone other people.

At least most of the great unified dynasties believe that once the country is unified and the world is peaceful, the army must be restricted and its size should be reduced as much as possible. There is no need to establish a military academy.

In addition to this point, there is another very important point. As the overall environment reduces the demand for soldiers, if a military academy is established to train talents in this area, it will be very easy to have a shortage of jobs.

And everyone knows how serious the impact of the lack of modern posts is, let alone the limited military posts, which cannot accommodate enough military talents.

What if the trained military talents have relatively low abilities other than military talent, especially if they don't say anything to their leaders and punish themselves with three cups, and then they are fooled and fled to the northern alien area.

Then this guy directly turned on the Long Aotian mode, using his military talent to complete the military unification of the alien races in the north.

Then I don’t feel sorry for how many aliens died. If I really defeated the court that hated me at the beginning, I would make a lot of money. What should I do if I fight you desperately.

Don't underestimate the potential of human talent, but don't overestimate the lower limit of human morality.

The Great Unification Dynasty will more or less consider this situation, so they have more or less scruples about establishing a military academy.

Similarly, the primary productive force in modern society is science and technology. If the entire earth is really unified by one force, there may be a period of technological explosion in the early stage, but after a long time, there will definitely be situations where science and technology are prohibited from continuing to invest in research and development.

To be more precise, vested interest groups do not want new productive forces that may subvert their continued rule.

Adhering to the principle that it is better to suppress others than develop yourself, use the smallest resources to maintain your dominance for the longest time.

The art of war is as important as science and technology in productivity when the productive forces were not developed enough in ancient times.

At least until the industrial productivity has not reached a certain level, the importance of military talents to the country is almost second only to the importance of the emperor to the feudal society.

This is especially true for those weird war geniuses.

Even after industrialization, war geniuses are still needed, but modern war geniuses are no longer the war geniuses in the ancient military situation.

Because the development of modern science and technology has greatly restricted the room for such war geniuses to play, basically as long as they are willing to spend money, there is no room for soldiers to play at all.

Modern war geniuses are more of a military strategy or military skill that integrates war resources as much as possible or reduces war costs, and can produce the greatest results with the least cost.

Such people are basically the most needed war geniuses in modern times.

As for war geniuses like Bing Yinyang, it's not that they are useless, but that such people are too difficult to evaluate.

Small enough for a three-person team to create a miracle of war, or big enough for one person to boost the morale of the entire country, they generally belong to outsiders.

And military strategists already belong to the fear of the country, let alone talkers.

This subject is really at the national level, because Legalism is an ancient political and ideological course. Anyone who wants to reform must first read Legalism from beginning to end hundreds of times before talking about it.

As for reform, as long as it appears, it will represent the downfall of a large area.

If you don’t make room for the reformers, why should the reformers reform? Do you really think that you can complete the reform by just talking about it!
And this kind of reformist, it is hard to say how the internal effect of Datang will be, because there is not enough social reference, and no one can guarantee whether the society will be better after the reform.

But for the external forces around the Great Tang, if there is a legalist believer to help them follow the example of the Great Tang to complete the feudal reforms that suit their own country, then the national power of the foreign race will definitely be significantly improved.

After all, Datang has become so powerful and developed so well according to this system, then this system must be right.

Therefore, as long as it is a unified dynasty, the legalist theory is basically a banned book, and it is even called the emperor's study, and it is not allowed to circulate privately among the people.

Otherwise, if a person who has learned this knowledge goes to other foreign tribes to help them achieve feudalization because they fail to pass the imperial examination, it will be a great danger to the unified dynasty.

Moreover, if the reforms in ancient times reached a certain level, if you want to prove the results, you often need to fight with others.

One is that some domestic contradictions are really unstoppable. It is really necessary to transfer domestic contradictions, ease the contradictions by plundering land in other places, and use resources from other countries to enrich the strength of the reformers and the support of the diehards. benefit compensation.

The second is that you want to prove that your reform is successful, how can you prove that your reform is successful without a fight.

For example, after Shang Yang's reform, Bai Qi was in charge of the army, and the Great Qin was changed from a weak country that anyone could bully to a Qin of tigers and wolves.

Another example is that the vast majority of people believe that Zhang Juzheng's whip method was successful because it supported the three major Wanli marks.

Another example is why it is said that the Westernization Movement failed, and it was not because the entire Beiyang Navy was wiped out.

At least in ancient times, victory in war was the only criterion for testing the success of a reform. If the war could not be won, the pain caused by the reform would be meaningless.

Of course, Tubo probably also encountered this problem at this time, that is, after Lu Dongzan and Sangbuza returned to Tubo, they began to follow the model of the Tang Dynasty and began to reform.
Then Lu Dongzan, Sangbuza and others discovered that the entire Tubo tribe vaguely seemed to be sitting on a crater, ready to erupt at any time.

It's okay for the entire high-level officials in Tubo to say, because it is too unforgettable to be taught a harsh lesson by Datang, so they are quite determined to reform the law.

But for the lower class, especially the chiefs who are still in the slave tribe, these people are obviously their own slaves and their own property. As a result, you Lu Dongzan and Sang Buza just opened their mouths and made them free people, saying that they are People of the country, do you want to plunder my wealth!

In fact, not to mention these tribal leaders and chiefs, even these slaves who were liberated due to the land equalization system were a little at a loss.

You obviously live a life of being a slave with peace of mind, but you touch your lips and say that you are no longer a slave. In the future, the chiefs and gentlemen of those tribes will not give you food, and you have to earn everything yourself. You are going to die by yourself Bar!
Lu Dongzan and Sang Buza carried out political reforms in Tubo, but the difficulty of political reforms, after they really got started, they found that every step in it was a pitfall, because every step of political reforms involved the redistribution of rights and interests.

Any world will always touch the interests, which is more difficult than touching the soul. At least until the new generation of reformists who maintain them grow up, the power and rights possessed by the diehards are their political foundation.

Their strength made them feel like they were fighting against the whole Tubo!

For this reason, even Songtsan Gambo gave up continuing to work as a mercenary for Sassan to earn a small amount of money, but led the army to deal with the internal affairs of Tubo first.

If he didn't deal with it, Songtsan Gampo felt that Zanpu might be replaced!
"Don't worry, at least the army is still in our hands!" Songtsan Gampo looked at Lu Dongzan and Sang Buza and said in a deep voice, "With me here, Tibet will not be in chaos!"

Hearing Songtsan Gampo's words, Lu Dongzan and Sangbuza breathed a sigh of relief, but Sangbuza said seriously,
"But the deterrence of the army can only be powerful for a while. We must start to solve this danger, otherwise the longer the delay, especially after they win over the army, we are afraid that there is no way to recover."

Songtsan Gampo said in a deep voice when he heard Sangbuza's words, "They will win over the army?!"

"Our army exists in the form of tribes, and each tribe will provide manpower!" Sambuza said in a deep voice,

"Now Zanpu's prestige can still be suppressed, but if he stays for a long time, maybe he will be won over by the tribe.

At that time, in the words of Datang, the wall will fall and everyone will push it! "

When Songtsan Gampo heard what Sangbuza said, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "How should we solve it?"

"Attack the Jieri Dynasty!" Lu Dongzan pointed to the Jieri Dynasty under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,

"We need to use military law to strengthen orders to the soldiers, we need to entrust the land to the soldiers to fight desperately, and we need to use interests to stabilize the resistance of the tribal chiefs to us.

As long as we can still get enough benefits, then this reform can continue!
Now we have no way to fight against those tribal chiefs, because they are very powerful and have too much influence in our Tubo.

But if their proportion is lightened and the reformers we cultivate become stronger, then we can thoroughly implement the reform system and make Tubo a big country like Datang! "

"Okay!" Songtsan Gampo nodded when he heard this, "Then let the Jieri Dynasty become the first stepping stone for the rise of Tubo, and one day, we will let the Tang Dynasty send the princess willingly. come over!"

Seeing that Songtsan Gampo had made up his mind, Lu Dongzan heaved a sigh of relief.

In any case, it is the simplest and most direct way to transfer domestic conflicts.

And because of the geographical advantages of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this made Tubo's offensive fail, but it is not impossible to retreat and reorganize.

And in this process, there is a way to consume the old tribal forces after all.

But the best thing is to directly defeat the Jieri Dynasty through war, and use the nutrition supply of the Jieri Dynasty to complete the comprehensive reform of Tubo, so that Tubo can truly stand on the top of the world.

After all, in any country, who hasn't dreamed of a big country!
While Tubo was sharpening its knives against the Jieri Dynasty, Li Tai had some communication with Li Shimin, and went to continue to inspect the Chang'an to Luoyang Chidao project.

After all, Li Tai knew very well that if it wasn't for Li Chengqian's rebellion, then this year might be the crusade against Goguryeo.

But now it seems that the prince and Hou Junji's rebellion has involved a lot of people. Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to send troops to attack Goguryeo. It should be next year or the year after that.

So this Chidao, which could not keep up with the progress, might really be built before the crusade against Goguryeo.

At least Li Tai looked at this group of corvees who became very energetic for some reason, and felt that this matter was very possible.

And when the door was closing at night, when Li Tai returned to Wude Hall, a servant Zhang came over to Li Tai with a book in his hand, saying,

"Reporting to the King of Wei, Master Xu of Yeting sent a copy of calligraphy and painting today, saying that the family members of the prisoner have privately kept the original works of the King of Wei. Please have a look."

"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned when he heard the servant's words, but took this copy of the book, which was the "encounter" he wrote during the Lantern Festival, and couldn't help but think of the little girl he met by chance.

Li Tai thought for a while and said, "This is indeed the "Encounter" I wrote. How did this little girl get into the court?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Zhang Neishi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said:
"This little girl is Xu Xiaode's eldest daughter, Xu Xiaode has a secret with the crown prince, Xu Jingchong told him that the saint is very evil.

So the men of the Xu family went to jail, and the women went to the court.

And this Xu Hui has been holding this book in his hand, saying that it was a gift from King Wei, and he would not give it to anyone else.

After arriving at Ye Ting, I took the initiative to hand it over to the director of Ye Ting. After Mr. Xu got it, he quickly sent it over! "

"That's interesting!" Li Tai couldn't help smiling when he heard this, Xu Huineng had been holding this copy of the book, and knew that this book was the only thing that could save their family now.

And even if she didn't save him, with this post, she could live a somewhat decent life in Ye Ting.

As for Mr. Xu, the people in the palace have always watched people order dishes, and seeing the prince's downfall, they can't offend themselves after all.

Li Tai smiled, and said to Zhang Neishi, "You go and return this pair of book posts to Xu Hui, and then go to the warehouse to get two copies of Yu Jue, one for your errand expenses, and one for Mr. Xu , Said that I accepted his wishes, but there is no need to take back what I sent out."

"Thank you, King Wei!" Zhang's waiter hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and knelt down and said to Li Tai, "You don't want to run errands, you just want to follow King Wei!"

Li Tai glanced at Zhang Nei Shi, smiled, patted Zhang Nei Shi on the shoulder, and said:

"I'm not in the palace. If you want a servant, you'd better accept the money first and do things for me. Let me see your ability!"

Zhang Neishi was stunned, a little confused, but a little dazed, and said to Li Tai, "Thank you, King Wei."
