The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 32 Strengths and Weaknesses

"Let's analyze it together, and you can add any opinions you have at any time." I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Let's talk about the first elephant, Youxiang. My court has gone through hundreds of years, and the people's will, even if For example, the Han people in the north were first enslaved by the Jin people and then imprisoned by the Mongols. Although many places have been there for more than 100 years, their hearts have always been toward us. I hope that our soldiers can recover the Central Plains as soon as possible and save them from the fire. Among them, this is one of them."

Speaking of this, I suddenly felt sore, thinking of He Quchen's mother's last words, "If you have a chance, tell the emperor that the Han people in the north miss the emperor, and have always hoped that the emperor can rescue them."

I paused for a moment and continued: "Secondly, although I have declined in the agricultural and commercial industry, it is still not comparable to that of Mongolia. Except for animal husbandry, other industries in Mongolia are basically vacant. The establishment of Mongolia is only a few days away. In the past ten years, most of its land has been plundered from our dynasty, Jin Kingdom, Xixia, etc. Although these areas are large in size, they are not places where agriculture and commerce are developed, and it will take time to re-plan and manage. Naturally, they will not immediately There is abundant output. Any war needs the support of gold and silver, especially protracted war. As the Mongolian army grows larger, the military food and equipment it consumes will also increase. This is not a small amount. At this point, we can see the historical precipitation of our dynasty. Third, the population of our dynasty is still larger than that of Mongolia. There are 560 people. This is similar to the second point. After all, fighting depends on people. Fourth, our dynasty has the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, and the navy is relatively powerful. Betray the country and turn to the enemy, but Mongolia's navy will be weaker than our dynasty for a while. The strength of the navy ensures that our dynasty is in a position where we can attack and retreat. Fifth, although there are many treacherous and mediocre officials in our dynasty, More people with lofty ideals, such as Xiangfu, Song Rui, Junshi, etc. When it comes to the combat effectiveness of the army, Xiangfu, you have been fighting the Mongols on the front line for a long time, and you should have the most say. The Mongolian cavalry Is it really invincible? I don’t think so. Let’s talk about this point in the second image. Another point is that Kublai Khan of Mongolia just defeated his younger brother Alibu, and his national power was exhausted. At this time, he was unable to invade the south. This gave us time, and the four khanates in the west did not recognize Kublai Khan's throne."

Of course, my biggest advantage as a time traveler, but I can't say it.

Lu Xiufu added: "There is a sixth point, and that is the young master's brilliance and martial arts."

I laughed and said, "Junshi has also learned how to flatter."

Wen Tianxiang also said: "Young Master, this is the truth. If it weren't for your wise master, we would not have the confidence to rejuvenate our dynasty. So this is not the sixth point, but the first point."

Since ancient times, this kind of flattery has never been worn for thousands of shots, so I enjoy it calmly.

Seeing that Li Tingzhi still couldn't let go, I said, "Xiangfu, if you have any ideas, feel free to speak up."

"I know that what the young master said is very comprehensive."

"No, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Only by brainstorming can you not be self-righteous. Xiangfu must not hold back. Even if it is a wrong view, it can make up for the loopholes in correcting the correct view."

"Yes, son."

I nodded and said again: "Let's talk about this evil phenomenon next."

"My lord, let's talk about it after drinking some tea." Seeing me talking non-stop, Xiao Qi handed over the teacup and said.

I drank a big sip of tea, moistened my throat and said, "I think this phenomenon is mainly due to two points. First, in the military, Kublai Khan of Mongolia defeated Brother Alibu, and his morale was at its peak. In the field battle, The combat power of the Mongolian iron cavalry is naturally greater than that of our army. Due to the lack of horses in our dynasty, most of them are infantry. With the same number of people, our army is not the enemy for the time being. The Mongols who grew up in China, but this is not the key point. I think the key point is that our army generally lacks a kind of military spirit, and there is no fighting spirit like the Mongolian cavalry. Years of defensive battles have made our officers and soldiers more and more dependent on solidity The city, the powerful equipment, and the neglect of its own ability. As the saying goes, the brave wins in a narrow road, and our army lacks this kind of invincible courage, which makes the combat effectiveness of our army weak compared to Mongolia. Second, it is It is the political system of our dynasty. Our dynasty has been established for hundreds of years and has a long history. It is precisely because of this that many correct ideas have been out of shape, resulting in a huge bureaucratic system and slow work efficiency. There are countermeasures, even if there is a good policy, but due to the incompetence of the executor or the incompetence of the yin and the yang, it becomes inconspicuous in the end. The worse ones, corruption, corruption, gang formation, form an invisible Those who are not in the big net will be hit, and this will make the court a mess. A few years ago, Liu Zheng's defection to the enemy is a good example. This trend spread to the people, causing officials not to look like officials, and officials not to look like officials. In the end, the people are not the people. This is called the decline of the world and the decline of morality. The Mongols have always acted concisely, and there are not so many wrangling things from top to bottom. Once an order is issued, it is executed immediately, and its efficiency is much higher than mine. towards."

"Young master has a great opinion and can comprehensively analyze the problem, unlike us who can only see a few points, which are always incomplete." Wen Tianxiang praised.

"Hehe, let's talk about the third elephant together. Where are our opportunities? Let's talk about it."

After all, Wen Tianxiang has a straightforward personality, so he said first: "My lord, according to the above analysis of the superior and inferior phenomena, I think the matter becomes very clear. Starting from our two disadvantages, we must first make the politics clear, so that we can do our best. According to Marshal Yue’s words, civil servants don’t love money, military generals don’t fear death, and the world is peaceful. However, since the treacherous Prime Minister Shi Miyuan came to power in the reign of the first emperor, our court has not promoted, the cancer has deepened, and we are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and we have never seen a new look. It is necessary to use heavy medicine, but this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. I must have a good plan. As for the construction of the army, I think Mr. Li should have more say. Mr. Li, tell me your opinion Bar."

I smiled and said, "Song Rui, you are really good at kicking the ball, so you left the question to me and Xiangfu in a blink of an eye."

"Young master, what is kicking the ball?"

"Oh, it's kicking Cuju."

Li Tingzhi thought for a while and said: "Young master's words are very incisive. What our army lacks is the soul of the army, but I don't know how to endow our army with the soul of the young master?"

I said: "For army building, the first thing to pay attention to is ideological construction, followed by capacity building. Ideological construction refers to letting officers and soldiers know why and for whom to fight. Capacity building is to let officers and soldiers know how to fight. Xiangfu, Didn’t you add refugees to your Yangzhou soldiers?”

"Yes, my son."

"The reason why these refugees are willing to serve as soldiers is for food. They are hungry. They must have enough to eat. The second is for revenge. Their hometown was torn up by the Mongols. Their relatives were killed and enslaved. They must take revenge, right? ?”

Li Tingzhi thought for a while and said, "Exactly."

"Being a soldier to fight for food is the most basic issue of survival. Going to battle for revenge is the simplest and most direct thought complex. To be a general should amplify these reasons according to the situation of the soldiers and let them understand that they are soldiers and fight The reason for this is to expand step by step from the basic point, and finally let the soldiers understand the principle of defending the country, this is what I call ideological construction.”

"This?" Li Tingzhi fell into deep thought again.
