Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 221 Forging a Soul for the Army
"The world?"

Three thousand teenagers were silently reciting this word, wondering for a while why the Lord General, who was so high in their eyes, would say such a word, the world is still too far away from them, and it is not something they can understand now.

"This is the world. It spans thousands of miles and includes the land of the Seven Kingdoms, and our Qin Kingdom is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms." Yang Ming said.

In the eyes of the three thousand young men who were still at a loss, Yang Ming asked again: "Some of you have traveled hundreds of miles to Shanglinyuan, and some of you have traveled thousands of miles to come here. What are you doing?" ?”

"To get ahead."

"In order to have a full meal."

"To make mother happy."

"Don't be bullied."

Some more courageous people scrambled to answer.

"Other than that?" Yang Ming asked.

While the teenagers were thinking, Yang Ming continued: "Some of you are from Hedong, which once belonged to Wei State, and some are from Qianzhong, which once belonged to Chu State. Some of you are here to get ahead. Some people want to have enough food, some people want to make their mother happy, some people want to avoid being bullied, these are all good, but have you ever thought about what you are going to do when you enter this barracks? "

"It's a war." Someone replied.

"Yes, it is war, but in war, you will kill the enemy, and these enemies are the same people as you, for example, among you who are from Hedong County, when we fought against Wei, your The enemy is from the state of Wei, and you were also from the state of Wei decades ago, how would you feel if you killed such a person?" Yang Ming asked.

For a while, Qi Qi, a young man from Hedong County, fell into deep thought. Their ancestors were from the state of Wei, but now they are from the state of Qin. In the future, they will kill those people from the state of Wei. Such a thing seems too complicated. It's beyond their comprehension.

"Some of you are from Qianzhong County, which used to belong to the state of Chu. A few decades ago, maybe your grandfather was from the state of Chu, but in the future, when we fight against the state of Chu, you will kill Dead Chu people, are you willing to kill an enemy who may have been a citizen of the same country as your grandfather?" Yang Ming asked.

"Here, we don't need to fight against the Chu people." A naive young man replied.

"Then you have disobeyed the military order and should be executed according to the law." Yang Ming said calmly.

The innocent boy just now turned pale from fright.

"You people from Hedong County were once Wei people, but in the more distant past, you were Jin people. It was Wei, Zhao, and South Korea that divided Jin." Yang Ming continued.

"You Qianzhong County were from Ba State earlier, but you were destroyed by Chu State in Ba State. In this way, it seems that you have a reasonable reason to attack Chu State."

I'm from Qin?My grandfather was from Wei?My ancestors were from the state of Jin?
I'm from Qin?My grandfather was from Chu State?My ancestors were from Pakistan?
Who am I?For a while, many teenagers fell into distress because of Yang Ming's words.

They don't even know who they are?
"What I want to tell you is that no matter who you used to be, you are all Qin people now. The past is no longer important, what matters is the present. At the moment, you are Qin people." Yang Ming said.

"In this world, there are people from Qin, people from Wei, people from Chu, people from Zhao, and in the long past, people from Jin and Zhou. However, these are not important. You just need to remember that now you are Qin people. People are enough."

"We are from Qin." The teenagers murmured to themselves in a trance, and their minds that had been shaken just now gradually became firmer.

"Over the past 500 years, wars have continued in this world. Some countries have been destroyed, and some countries have been rising. During this process, we people may be people of this country today, and may become people of another country tomorrow. In war, no one can get a real paradise." Yang Ming said.

He spent so much time telling these teenagers these things that seem to have nothing to do with military training, not to waste time, he wanted to let these teenagers understand step by step what they were fighting for, and he wanted to shape Bring out the soul of this army.

As for why Yang Ming chose these youths who didn't have much combat power, instead of the soldiers of the imperial army who had gradually formed, it was naturally because the three views of these youths were easier to be guided.

Yang Ming wants to create a common ideal for these teenagers, and then condense an existence called military soul.

Ideals, although seemingly ethereal, can sometimes burst out with power beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It is too difficult to talk about ideals with those elite soldiers from all over Qin. When it comes to ideals, they may be more concerned about how much an enemy soldier's head can exchange for.

But profit moves people's hearts, while benefit will distract people's hearts. Compared with short-term benefits, Yang Ming is more willing to spend more time and energy on these young people to create an ideal existence.

"I've told you all this to tell you that you came here not only to have enough to eat, to make your mother happy, and to stand out from the crowd, but also to accomplish the great cause of unifying the world for Qin. Soldiers, but they are not soldiers who only know destruction and destruction, the weapons in your hands are to make this world free from war."

……

"Through the weapons in our hands, we will establish a country without war. In that country, there are no Jin people, Wei people, Chu people, and Ba people, only Qin people, and everyone in the world is Qin people."

What happened in the Shanglinyuan barracks naturally could not escape the eyes of the Xiangguo Mansion. After all, the recruitment of three thousand young men was completed with the cooperation of the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Morning exercises, first chapters of writing, common sense of ancient history, sword and shield skills, riding skills, use of long weapons, military discipline, archery... It seems that the young people in Shanglinyuan are under a lot of pressure." Lu Buwei looked from Shanglinyuan Got the schedule and couldn't help laughing.

"Is this too much of a waste of time? How can a soldier need to learn so many things?" Lu Qi wondered.

"It's a waste of time. With such a schedule, those teenagers can only rest for four hours a day. The rest of the time is either training or studying literature such as history and military law. The life of those scholars in the palace is nothing more than this." Lu Buwei put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and couldn't help but marvel.

"It is precisely for this reason that Yang Ming recruited these young men into the barracks, because only these young men can allow Yang Ming to train an elite army that satisfies him." Lu Buwei said.

"What can 3000 people do? Even if one counts as ten, compared with the resources invested, it is still a loss-making business." Lu Qi was puzzled.

"When doing business, you can't just focus on the gains and losses of money and interests." Lu Buwei said.

Under Lu Qi's puzzled eyes, Lu Buwei continued: "If Yang Ming dies in a wrong way, before the age of 40, there must be another great master in the military family, but what path will he take?"

When Lu Buwei said this, he showed a bit of regret.

In today's world, there are hundreds of masters, who are honored as a master because of their strong cultivation base. Therefore, there are not a few masters in the world, but there are very few who can make the world add a big word to them before the masters Not much.

As far as combat power is concerned, a grand master may not necessarily be stronger than a grand master, but a grand master must have achievements that are difficult for a grand master to match.

Back then, Lao Tzu, the first teacher of Taoism, had never practiced martial arts in his life, but once he attained the Tao, he entered the realm of a great master, and finally reached a realm unimaginable by the world.

Naturally, Lu Qi didn't know about these things. His understanding of the Grand Master and the Great Grand Master was still at the level of martial arts, but according to Lu Buwei's knowledge, he was very clear about the difference.

After all, he himself is also pursuing the way of the miscellaneous family, hoping to use this to achieve the way of the great master.

In Yang Ming's body, Lu Buwei also saw a road that can directly reach the realm of the great master. Unfortunately, it is just an opportunity, but it may not be able to become a reality. blend.

The army is just a weapon, and kingship is the hand that holds it. But if the army has a mind of its own, would it be willing to hold its hand?

"However, people who have ideals and can practice them are always worthy of our respect. Yang Ming, if he was born 20 years earlier, I will definitely become friends with him." Lu Buwei stood up and moved a little A body that is too old to sit for a long time.

"I'll leave it to you, the chief secretary of the Hujun Mansion," Lu Buwei suddenly said to Lu Qi.

"Father, you want me to go to protect the mansion and be Yang Ming's subordinate?" Lu Qi was shocked.

You know, three years ago, he still wanted to subdue Yang Ming for his own use, but now he is going to become Yang Ming's subordinate, the gap is too big.

"Why, you don't want to?" Lu Buwei asked back.

"Father, Shangshu Changshi, but the official of Qianshi is still under Yang Ming's subordinates. If I take up the post, what will others think of me?" Lu Qi summoned up his courage.

To be an official in the Guard's Mansion, or under Yang Ming's command, is too... Lu Qi has too many reasons to refuse Lu Buwei's request.

But there are only reasons, but not enough courage.

Under Lu Buwei's sight, Lu Qi's stubbornness quickly disappeared, and in front of Lu Buwei, his courage was limited after all.

In Xianyang Palace, Qin Wangzheng browsed the history books that he got from Shanglin Garden to teach the young soldiers, with a thoughtful look on his brows from time to time.

history?Can you still write like this?It can still play such a role?A whole new world is opening towards Qin Wangzheng.
