Since Confucianism satisfies the needs of people, especially when it becomes the unified weapon of the ruling class's royal ideology, it has become a family, and of course it is very different from the miscellaneous families of the hundreds of children.

But functionally, it must meet a variety of needs.

Anything that was needed to maintain rule had to be taken into account by Confucianism, including in their package of services.

And here, the main thing is military needs.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.

Neither combining nor dividing is like planting a crop, as long as the seed is sown, and when the number of days comes, it can be harvested.

It's not winemaking, as long as you have all the ingredients, put it in the cellar, and after a period of time, rely on natural fermentation, you can scoop out the wine and drink it.

Whether it's a score or a combination, it's all typed!

Do you say that Confucianism does not know how to fight war, but can it serve the ruling class?

Therefore, Confucianism will fight wars and be called Confucian generals.

First-class Confucian generals are the most popular talents.

And Zeng Guofan was regarded as one of the only ones in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

He was born in the imperial examination and was a prominent Zeng Dashuai, so he became the mainstay of history that allowed the Manchus to survive the attack of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Ding Shanqing, at least in military theory, it is okay, but in military practice, there are not many opportunities in history, and I don't know what it is.

But now, his chance has come.

With the support of Zeng Guofan, he had established the Yuelu Army, which was led by the students of Yuelu Academy, that is, the Confucian Army!

The martial arts people who studied here naturally rushed to the officers, and those soldiers, except for the guards and relatives and friends brought by the officers themselves, were all transferred from the Hunan army.

This depends on the support of Zeng Guofan.

In order to establish this unique Confucian army. Ding Shanqing racked his brains, and after repeated thinking, he finally named this unit with the twenty-eight characters of the essence of Confucianism.

It is also called the "Twenty-Eight Character Battalion".

Which twenty-eight words?

That's it!

morality, faith, thought, diligence and forbearance;

benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, friendship, courage and generosity;

gentle, courteous, thrifty, and forgiving;

Loyalty, filial piety, virtue and strictness!

His battalion was set to have 3,000 people, and the entire Confucian army totaled 60,000 people.

He specially hired Zeng Guofan as the honorary commander-in-chief, and he himself personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Confucian army.

Today. Mai Ke led a group of people with deep theoretical skills to start a big debate with these Confucian theoretical elites, and entangled Zeng Guofan and Ding Shanqing.

Now the leader is the deputy commander-in-chief, who was also a famous Confucian general at that time, that is, Zhao Liewen, a generation of young heroes, who was extremely favored by Zeng Guofan.

And Zeng Guofan is optimistic about him, not because he can flatter, but because he is extremely assertive and far-sighted.

Once he and Zeng Guo Fan Kan Mountain. Spoke his opinion of the Manchu court.

His point of view is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty "must first be fundamentally reversed, and then the rear state has no owner, and people are in charge of their own affairs, and they will not survive for 50 years!"

Zeng Guofan retorted: "This dynasty is virtuous, or not here." ”

Liewen retorted: At the beginning of the Manchu Dynasty, it was too easy to start a business, and the punishment was too heavy, so it was too coincidental to have the world! Good and evil do not hide each other, and the virtue of the queen is Ze. Not enough. ”

It means that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was founded, there were too many people killed and too many evils were committed, and even if the future kings were good, they could not make up for the sins of those founders. Therefore, their so-called good is unreliable.

From a historical point of view, the current Zhao Liewen has a much higher vision than Zeng Guofan!

And with the booster of Mai Ke and others, Zeng Guofan's point of view is even more untenable.

It's simply unreasonable, blindly loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although the two disagreed. Zeng Guofan's appreciation for him is increasing day by day!

Because, as soon as Ding Shanqing said that he needed a powerful assistant, Zeng Guofan was the first to think of Zhao Liewen.

Zeng Guofan didn't think of the other senior members under him.

But on the one hand, they are already in charge of their own shares, and on the other hand, he also believes that they are not qualified candidates.

In a certain aspect, they may be good, but on the whole, they are not talents who stand alone and are both civil and military.

Moreover, this kind of civil and military perfection is not a civil and military combination in the traditional sense, but a pioneering and enterprising literature full of innovative spirit

Wu Shuangquan!

What about this Zhao Liewen, Zeng Guofan admits that he is better than himself in many aspects!

Therefore, he still sent him to serve as the commander of this Confucian army.

Although it is a vice, it is no different from the positive, because Ding Shanqing's mind still has Yuelu Academy, as well as the study of military theory.

At the same time, even if he is involved in the military, he is mainly engaged in army building, not in military management, and still less in fighting wars.

Therefore, today's confrontation between the two armies is actually Zhao Liewen against the sheep breed!

Zhao Liewen's 60,000 Confucian army, according to the establishment of the 28-character battalion, backed by Yuelu Mountain, some people stood in line, some people guarded the camp, the military discipline was strict, and the degree of relaxation actually showed a dignified military might.

The sheep breed led the soldiers of the sheep family, a total of two armies!

These two armies were all dispatched, and the troops were divided into left and right, against the Confucian army.

In the middle of the army formation, the sheep breed is in the middle of the command, and the two armies are on his left and right, each with a military flag.

The army on the right is the Eternal Army, and the two big regular scripts on the military flag: Eternity!

The army on the left is the Eternal Army, and the two words Dou Da are also on the military flag: Eternal Life!

Both armies are standard establishments, both are three-three systems, all the way down to the class units.

An army has three divisions under its jurisdiction, and each division has a quota and actual strength of 10,000 men.

Therefore, in terms of numbers, the Yangjia army is also 60,000 people, which is equal to the rival Confucian army.

Of course, these soldiers are not all children of the Yang family, but the officers are!

The soldiers were recruited from elsewhere and belonged to the elite of the sheep family.

However, whether it is a child of the Yang family or someone with a foreign surname, they all have one thing in common.

They are all Christians!

These people have been tested by the flames of war, and they are very strong in their faith!

Today, they are going to compete with these Confucian disciples on the basis of their firm faith!

The two armies stood opposite each other, and Zhao Liewen was really a bit of a trick. He actually mobilized before the battle!

He said: "Today, we will represent Confucian orthodoxy and fight to the death! Do you know what spirit each of you represents?"

"Yes!"

There was a thunderclap, and 60,000 people burst into cheers.

After that, the battalions signed up, and a thousand people also tore their throats and shouted! From the beginning to the end, everyone was bombarded by the thunderstorm 28 times!

Dao, Virtue, Faith, Thinking, Diligence, Forbearance, Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, Friendship, Courage, Tolerance, Gentleness, Kindness, Gong, Thrift, Provincial, Forgiveness, Straightness, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Temperance, Virtue, Compassion, Strictness!

A burst of scorching thunder rolled by, and the morale of the Confucian army suddenly soared! (To be continued......
