Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 103: An Epiphany

It's the Chinese New Year, and Chunzejian is full of festive atmosphere.Although the Xiang army under Zheng He's jurisdiction and the shepherds of Chunzejian only received a meager bonus at the end of the year, no one complained.Everyone understands that this is the first year, and the entire proving ground has not produced much output yet.But the promotion officer promised that the next year will be better than the next year.

In fact, everyone can see this prospect. Now there are pigs, chickens and ducks in every family pen, and many horses and donkeys are pregnant. This is all money.Promoting officials counts as much as they say, and they are not afraid that they will not get dividends in the future.

At the end of the year, the cooperative organized with the help of officials and officials bought all kinds of daily necessities for everyone, which were much cheaper than buying from vendors.The promotion officials bought back dozens of big fat pigs to improve everyone's life, and helped everyone organize and arrange several carriages to send the new army soldiers to Bianliang every day. Others can also take a ride. Many people see it for the first time in their lives. What does it look like in Tokyo.Xiang Jun and most of the shepherds of Chunzejian have never lived such a happy life in their lives.

Li Zhang really admired Li Buqi.His father is one of the three chief officials of the Imperial Guard. Although he is young and only serves as an attendant, he has learned how difficult it is to control a soldier, whether it is from his father or from the noble children he interacts with every day.

If there are fewer rewards during the New Year, there will be troubles;However, Li Buqi had a very strict control over this new army stationed in the wilderness. Even during the Chinese New Year, he only gave four days off to go out and let the soldiers take turns to follow the carriage to Bianliang City. Most of the soldiers had to stay In the barracks.And before the new year, no rewards were given out at all. If it was the other guards and reviewers, there would have been a commotion long ago.

Therefore, Li Zhang was actually always ready for something to happen, but he found that he was worrying in vain, because Li Buqi had more ideas.

Ever since he was on vacation since he was a child, Li Buqi never let the soldiers idle, and every day was full of excitement and busy work.Just the skill competitions, tug-of-war competitions, password passing competitions and other competitions in each capital and class made the soldiers enjoy themselves.Although the prizes for the winners are not valuable things, it can't keep the soldiers happy.

Moreover, Li Buqi is very creative. He created such sports as back-to-back running and back-to-back dribbling running, which made the school field laugh from morning till night.But what the soldiers like most is a ball game created by Li Buqi.This kind of ball game is a team of seven people from each side to fight against each other. According to the rules formulated by Li Buqi, one ball is pushed to the bottom line of the opponent's half to win.

This game not only requires the close cooperation of seven people to fight wits and courage with the opponent, but also is more confrontational than Cuju popular in the Song Dynasty, and is deeply loved by these young men.Although they were still playing very rough, under the instigation of Li Buqi, they still held a league game between different capitals. Not only all the soldiers of the new army gathered around to watch, but even the Xiang army and the shepherds came to watch , cheer for every success and regret every failure.The atmosphere is not comparable to the women's sumo performance in Wazili, Tokyo.

These are daytime activities.Li Buqi found three storytellers from Tokyo, and lit a bonfire on the school grounds at night. Everyone sat around the bonfire and listened to the storytellers. overshadowed.

But what people didn't expect was that the most popular ones were Sun Yong and Sun Xujiu.Seeing that the storytellers were talking lively, he also became interested, and sang the stories of the heroes of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Qin opera with iron plate and copper papa.Although most people can't understand his Shaanxi dialect, the high-pitched and fierce Qin opera makes everyone want to stop, and they can't do it without listening to a part every night.

According to Li Buqi's order years ago, the training started again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. No one complained. On the contrary, after more than 20 days of rest, the soldiers were full of energy and their efficiency was higher than before.For this reason, Li Zhang once again praised Li Buqi in front of the emperor's cousin when he returned to Bianliang.And the emperor was also very satisfied, neither asking the emperor for money, nor spending money to buy people's hearts, he was able to stabilize the emotions of more than 600 soldiers, such talents are rare.

However, the emperor also asked Li Zhang worriedly: "Tell me not to give up, the innovation has already started, and the results will be seen soon. My internal treasury should be filled again soon, so that he doesn't have to worry about getting money. Always in the house It’s not good to stay on top, it’s not a joke if you fall off.”

Fan Dashen's attitude towards Chao Zhongyue's incident really hit Li Buqi's three views. Li Buqi needs to find a place where no one is around to think about it.There is no roof in the Song Dynasty, so Li Buqi can only go to the roof, especially at night when the moon is bright, it is best to think about things.So Chunzejian had an extra scene. Every night when the moon was bright, Li Tiju would squat on the top of the government office to watch the moon.

At first, both the three nobles and the new army on guard were taken aback. Later, it was not surprising that Li Tiju was just squatting on the roof thinking about things, not jumping down, or doing any other extraordinary actions. up.Moreover, Li Buqi said that he was planning how to make money for the emperor, which not only moved Li Zhang very much, but also made everyone in the testing ground full of hope—Master Tiju promised that everyone can drink soup while the emperor eats meat what.

In the early spring, squatting on the roof for a while could freeze a person to death, but now Li Buqi put on a padded jacket next to his body, and wrapped it with a sheepskin coat with wool inside like the kind worn by sentries, and put the hood on his head. Buckle, it doesn't feel cold at all.This can be regarded as a test of cold protection equipment.

It was completely dark and the wind was blowing, but several bonfires were lit on the school grounds, and there were still many officers and soldiers training spontaneously around the bonfires.Ever since Li Zhang came back from Bianliang and said that the emperor would review the new army on the first day of March this year, these guys have been like this. They all want to save face for the new army in front of the emperor.

Looking at these hard-working Song people, Li Buqi couldn't help sighing: What a good fighter, he has no lack of courage, no lack of sense of honor, no lack of tenacity and perseverance, no lack of shrewdness, this is the best fighter in the world, no wonder The weak Southern Song Dynasty could resist Mongolia for such a long time, no wonder the Han and Tang Dynasties could sweep the Western Regions.

It's very strange, China has such good fighters, why hasn't it reproduced the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties since the Song Dynasty?Of course, this reason can be attributed to the corruption of feudal rule, but wasn’t the feudal rule of the Han and Tang Dynasties corrupt?Why did the nomads fight all over the place in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but since the Song Dynasty, except for Zhu Di, the Han people were suppressed and beaten by the nomads in the rest of the time?
For 1000 years, China has basically never risen. This must be a system problem.

He has been in the workplace for many years and he understands a truth: the power of the individual is very small, and the organization is very important.A good organization can not only allow each member to exert their maximum ability, but also can achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two. A bad organization will make people unable to exert their energy.

The literati and Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty are obviously ruining the organization of the Song Dynasty.What they long for is to let the people take the family as a unit, "the chickens and dogs will never get in touch with each other".In this way, the literati and Confucian scholars who can only read but do not do things are indeed idle, but since then, the flower growers have a huge population, crushing the culture and technology of other civilizations on the earth, but they just cannot export this power.Especially when encountering the output form of war, which requires the most organizational ability, it must be more and more powerless.

Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, the expansion of the territory of flower growers has basically stopped, but there are more and more people, and people are so smart, there is always a place to release the huge energy.Since it cannot be released outward, it can only be consumed internally, so the direction in which people release their energy can only be internal fighting.

After figuring this out, Li Buqi suddenly had an epiphany.Some of the questions that I have been thinking about before seem to have found the answer.
