Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 547
Li Tai walked out of Li Jing's mansion. Regarding the reform of sergeants, Li Tai only put forward theories and directions. If he wants to implement it, it depends on how Li Jing can implement what he said into a plan suitable for the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, if it's about money, I can help, but about the system, I really can only adjust it constantly.

Because it comes from modern times, for Li Tai, the five elements of an army's overall development skills, quality, will, organization, and equipment are very important.

Among them, what Li Tai values ​​most is organization, equipment and will.

Relatively speaking, in Li Tai's opinion, as long as the skill and quality are above the average line, it is enough.

After all, even in this world, there are legion talents, internal energy, and amazing personal force like Xue Rengui.

But from Li Tai's point of view, that's all.

Because the world itself will suppress individual force through groups.

Especially after the appearance of cloud energy, Xue Rengui originally wanted to fly with great strength, but he couldn't even shoot the arrows that exploded with energy.

It can only be said that no matter what power you have in the world, under the overlapping clouds, you should be suppressed or you will be suppressed.

In essence, things like cloud energy come from the realization of the soldiers' own will, blood energy, organizational strength and other factors.

It also shows that although this world has extraordinary power, it makes individuals stronger than before.

But in fact, when you become stronger, others become stronger. Even if there is any special individual who can form an army by himself, in reality, although there is a gap between individuals, it is not the difference between humans and gods.

Basically, anyone who thinks he is invincible will be punished by collective power.

And as long as individual strength cannot directly crush collective strength, then for Li Tai, the ruler, developing equipment and industrialization, strengthening organizational strength, and emphasizing willpower are the most important things for him to do, not to develop individual strength.

Li Tai believes that there are all kinds of people in this world. Maybe some people have invincible talents, and some people can display supernatural skills, but in the final analysis, these are just personal skills, and only individual strength can be improved.

For a body, the stronger its own power, the more power it can control, especially when the individual power can surpass the overall organization, that body power can directly form a new whole with him as the core.

It can be said that only when Li Tai is sick will he encourage and improve things that strengthen his individual strength.

Needless to say, the simplest example is why the imperial court suppressed the killing technique of martial arts.

Even in the absence of public health-preserving boxing techniques, it will be very difficult to pass on similar improvements to personal strength.

Except that with the stability of society and the development of technology, learning them has become less and less necessary.

The simplest is to use martial arts to violate the ban. For the imperial court, making individuals stronger but not controlling them will in itself cause instability in this society.

Therefore, Li Tai is more advocating the development of industrialization, the development of technology, and the simple improvement of equipment is almost the same.

Because this kind of improvement is the overall improvement of the legion, no matter how high the quality of the people is, as long as there are no individuals in the world who cannot be sanctioned by the group, the higher the overall improvement, the more the country's fault tolerance rate will become. powerful.

Li Tai does not deny that there may be some special individuals in this world, such as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, but in the face of the combination of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, he can only kill himself in Wujiang, or Lu Bu, the unparalleled flying general. Baimenlou died.

At least until now, in the history books of China, all victories are collective victories.

The champion Hou named Lang Juxu because his hussars accompanied him life and death, and Li Shimin was able to capture the two kings in one battle because the Xuanjia army built a barrier around him.

It can be said that at least until now, at least Li Tai has not seen anyone who can defeat the collective power with his own strength alone without the assistance of anyone else.

All the miracles created are basically the hero who condenses the trust of everyone, and at the same time inspires the strength of everyone, using him as the hub to exert the overall power to create an incredible future.

So Li Tai doesn't care about the professional training of individual strength, because there is abundant food and long-term training, so whether it is quality or skills, Li Tai doesn't believe that the soldiers will not grow, but compared to skills and food, Li Tai is more Value several other items, especially equipment.

Because skills, quality, organization and will are limited by human beings, no matter how hard we try, there is an upper limit.

But the equipment is different, and the equipment is limited to the level of productivity. After all, ancient warriors fought with wooden spears, and modern warriors fought with rifles. Not to mention seven steps away, even within seven steps, modern warriors have a lower probability of winning. Higher than ninety-nine percent.

Because it is difficult to completely widen the gap in the first few qualities, but equipment can widen the gap, which is realistic.

Therefore, Li Tai must encourage the flow of equipment and technology, no matter from the perspective of the ruler or from the perspective of personal experience.

The memorials that Li Tai and Li Jing talked about, as well as Li Jing's policy on the recruitment system, were all handed over to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing's recruitment system theory, and Li Tai's overall division of reserve service, standing service and veterans, and couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect Qingque's consideration to be so comprehensive!"

"The king of Wei is a rare genius, he is thoughtful and thoughtful, but his ministers are not as good as him!" Li Jing couldn't help but open his mouth when facing Li Shimin.

"What's your opinion?" Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, but couldn't help asking.

"King Wei's thinking is more comprehensive, and of course the money and grain he needs to consume is also more astonishing.

However, it is nothing for the country to plan money and food, not to mention that King Wei himself is the God of Wealth. If he can propose this plan, I believe he can definitely solve the money and food.

The real problem is that the whole system is to some extent built on the basis of Wei Wang's agricultural school system.

Especially the core art of war school, a school that can control all the centurions in the country, is even more important! "

Li Jing looked at Li Shimin, lowered his head again, and didn't go into details.

Obviously, the system proposed by King Wei actually depends on whether the saint wants to use it or not.

If it is used, it will inevitably increase the authority of King Wei, and this is something the sage is willing or not.

"Let's put it here first! After I read it, I'll think about it first." Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and replied calmly.

Li Jing didn't urge any more, and chose to leave after saluting, after all, he was going back to continue to get sick.

Basically, Li Jing and Li Tai are only responsible for the construction of the direction, but if they really want to implement this thing, they still have to hand it over to the Ministry of War under Li Shiji's current control to fully implement this military reform.

Li Shimin picked up Li Jing's policy on the reform of the recruitment system, and after reading it all from beginning to end, he had to admit that Li Jing was solid in military theory.

To be honest, I also understand a lot of truths, but I am afraid that only Wei Guogong Li Jing can explain it all from the simple to the deep, and figure out the improvement method like a fool.

Li Shimin had to rejoice that Li Jing was old, but it was a pity that Li Jing was old and had injuries all over his body.

Speaking of injuries, Li Shimin couldn't help but help his waist. He always felt that when he got older, his waist was also aching.

Li Shimin focused on the discussion between Li Tai and Li Jing, and couldn't help but put it down after reading it.

This made Li Shimin couldn't help pressing his temple, because although Li Tai was talking to Li Jing, Li Tai did a very good job of military reform in terms of direction and balance.

In particular, the focus is on developing equipment, organizational strength, and will. For any unified whole, the training of these three directions is definitely superior to the training of soldiers' skills and qualities.

Because skills and qualities belong to individuals, but equipment, organization and will can only be realized by collective strength.

For a country, the army is necessary, but it must be checked and balanced.

In particular, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army itself, the stronger the checks and balances against it must keep up. Otherwise, the experience since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it is not that the strongest soldiers and horses are king, which is actually very important for maintaining the inheritance of the imperial court. challenge.

However, Li Tai proposed several development routes. From Li Jing's point of view, it was the benevolence of King Wei, who valued the lives of soldiers, and would rather choose a more costly fighting method than choose to sacrifice soldiers for the purpose.

For Li Jing who came all the way from the Sui Dynasty, even at the peak of the Sui Dynasty, he never had such a luxury.

But it was different for Li Shimin. For Li Shimin, the system proposed by Li Tai not only achieved the purpose of restructuring itself, after all, if Datang wanted to send troops out to fight, it was enough for the standing soldiers to go out.

And more importantly, Li Shimin saw the checks and balances inside, which is the most precious thing to Li Shimin.

The mansion system is better than the recruitment system. Unless it is the top leader like Li Shimin who has won all battles and has led all the mansion commanders, it is difficult for all the mansion soldiers to be loyal to one person.

And when such monsters appeared, it was meaningless to design any system. After all, many military systems were maxed out by these military god-level guys.

But the whole system proposed by Li Tai, from the preliminary reserve service, the standing service, and the retirement of veterans, is really perfect.

The reserve service itself is the continuation of the Fubing system. While retaining the advantages of the Fubing system, it proposes standing service in the Fubing system.

The standing service can be said to be the recruitment system, but Li Tai also proposed to add different systems of military supervision settings to the positions below the centurion, so as to strengthen the checks and balances on the recruitment system, but it will not affect the performance of the general, but ensure as much as possible The center of the bottom soldiers.

Finally, there are retired veterans. While ensuring the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, it is more important that the retired veterans will form a certain check and balance on the active soldiers, and the more important check and balance of these retired veterans is not the army, but the locality.

The opponents of the Tang royal family have always been aristocratic families from the beginning to the end, so Li Tai did not tell Li Jing that the impact of relocation of retired veterans to the local area was the formation of a new military and political group in the local area.

This group is composed of veterans at the grassroots level, even the reserve soldiers who have been trained all the year round are composed of local government soldiers. They don't say that they are against the local family, but they do not belong to the family system.

But the Matthew Effect is a rule of innate existence. This makes it possible for aristocratic families or landlords of the common clan to expand locally, and it will inevitably touch the army composed of retired veterans and government soldiers. interests of military blocs.

Of course, if this force wants to fight against the aristocratic family, it must be this group of guys who suffer in the end.

But for the imperial court, it is enough to have such a power at the grassroots level, and a power that can check and balance the family has emerged.

This is Li Tai's system. In addition to completing the check and balance of the imperial court's power over the military at the upper level, it has also completed the check and balance between the reserve service and the aristocratic family at the grassroots level. There will be an official position of about seven or eight ranks.

Although this official position is small, it is already considered a high-ranking official in charge of one party's authority in the local area.

And their greatest reliance is the dynasty on the top and the soldiers on the bottom, both of which are the strength of the military.

Of course, what if they happened to be local landowners.

It's very simple, because the imperial court originally stipulated that county magistrates and other officials are not allowed to return to their hometowns to serve, and the same applies to these people.

To put it simply, if you want to have an official position when you retire, you cannot return to your hometown, but retire to a neighboring state or county.

In the future, maybe this is the starting point for you to go from martial arts to literary, and step by step, sitting in your own position, maybe you can really get out of the way.

Similarly, if you just want to return to your hometown to be an ordinary old farmer or a corvee after retiring from the army, Datang will also satisfy your wish.

All in all, in Li Shimin's eyes, the retired veterans immediately became a new force, an important force to check and balance the aristocratic family at the grassroots level.

The only problem is that the system proposed by Li Tai cannot be accomplished overnight, what is needed is the establishment of a military law academy.

This is not only for cultivating the centurion and others, but more importantly, for cultivating the supervising army that Li Tai mentioned.

A supervising army who can read and write against soldiers, only this kind of person, can truly transform soldiers, turning them from reckless men who rob, kill and plunder on the battlefield, to become a place where the top can be good at generals, and the bottom can fight wisely The new era of Datang soldiers!
"Academy of military law... This is almost the same as an academy of agriculture. It's really Qingque's idea!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, he knew very well that if the military law school was established, even if he would become a sacrificial wine, Li Tai still needed to carry it out in the end.

And as long as Li Tai carries it out, it will eventually become Li Tai's tentacles and power to control the army!
"It takes a hundred years to cultivate trees, and ten years to educate people. Qingque is really patient."

Li Shimin rubbed his waist, as he felt the emptiness of life, Li Shimin could feel that he was getting old.

So if Li Tai wants to directly control the military power, Li Shimin may have great resistance, but now, even with the help of military reforms, Li Tai is not directly inserting people, but is advancing steadily like a spring breeze with the help of military law schools.

Even if Li Tai was involved in military power, Li Shimin felt that this matter could be handed over to Li Tai.

Because Li Shimin didn't think that he could survive for ten years, but the future of Datang would be handed over to Li Tai after all.
