Chapter 280: Princes and Generals, Here Are Kinds

When Li Xiaoyi read the shooting method of Napoleon's artillery according to the book, several people were stunned, this thing is so troublesome? 100 guns actually need 800 people to serve!

"Didn't you think about the operation beforehand?" Zheng Zha asked.

"I've never seen this kind of artillery, how do you know so much?" Li Xiaoyi said weakly.

"It's stupid," a man with glasses mended the knife.

“……”

"Well, if it's just an operation, it's not impossible," Surprisingly, Cheng Xiao held his chin thoughtfully.

“! Do you have a solution? ”

"You can try, anyway, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, right?"

It turned out that Cheng Xiao came up with the method of training the troops, decomposing the action exercises, first asking Boromo to find enough manpower, and then designating their respective positions, according to the method in the Galaxy team, first demonstrated by a few people from the Zhongzhou team, and trained a group of personnel, and then this group of people trained specifically for their respective positions, until all the artillery crews were complete.

That night, "Yes, yes, this method is very good," Li Xiaoyi said happily, "Finally, I can shoot artillery, and I deserve to be a person from the army!" ”

Then, the voice changed, "But, what about the gunner?" ”

The most important thing in the entire artillery group is the gun commander, and the aiming command depends on him, which obviously cannot be trained in three days.

"That's really no way, everyone else is a mechanical repetitive action, and it's okay to strengthen it by decomposing the action practice, but the gun commander is experienced or intellectual, so it's ......"

"In fact, there is no way, because we are the defender, and the other party has not yet arrived, we can make some preparations in advance, such as setting up target points outside the city, test firing the artillery, and then issuing the shooting yuan to each gun position, so that as long as the order to shoot at the target point is issued."

"In addition, it is to concentrate on training a small number of gun commanders, and then group the gun emplacements, and several gun groups to fire a salvo, which is what the British fleet did back then......"

After brainstorming, on the third day, the artillery position was finally barely operational, but that evening, the regent's new order brought everything back to square one.

"Add another 3,000 rifles and 200 artillery pieces, is he crazy, don't you see that in the past three days, our gunners have been exhausted in order to complete 100 guns! Moreover, Sauron's orc army has reached the other side of the river, and it will take at most a day to launch an attack on Minas Tirith, and it will be difficult to even get the artillery running in such a short time! ”

"I'm afraid it's precisely because he saw the training of the firearms unit in the past two days that he placed such a big order in one go, after all, there are 100,000 half-orcs on the other side, and he has led Gondor's army against Sauron's forces for so long as the regent, he must know the enemy better than us, probably this is the strength in his heart that can really resist the army of half-orcs."

"Then his previous order ......"

"Let's do my best, the position of regent brings Dinethor not only glory, I'm afraid it's more pressure and fear, after all, he is facing a country that has been divided for many years, and the enemy is almost everyone, even the king, who should be the biggest backing, has become a threat that can shake his position at any time, maybe before this war, he has reached a critical point, and what Aragorn did in the country of Rohan, It stimulated Dinethor to prepare to destroy Minas Tirith with him deep down, at least not cheaply for Aragon's shopkeeper. ”

Speaking of which, Dineth, the regent, is really depressed, and when something happens, he can't run away from death, and when it's okay, he will be the first to take the blame, and whoever does it in this position will be on fire.

But there's no way, who made the Lord of the Rings a Western fantasy, what people are talking about is a legal form.

According to the theory of Max Weber in the nineteenth century, all forms of rule in human history originate from the unconditional obedience of the people, and the premise of this obedience is the recognition of the legitimacy of their own rule by the civil administration.

In this way, he divided the legal form of government into three forms.

The first is traditional, that is, a regime that gains its legitimacy through a certain custom. For example, in the movie, Aragon's legitimacy comes from the blood of his own royal family of Gondor, and the characteristics of this legitimacy are often based on a certain habit or a certain procedure. In other words, the reason why Aragon was the king of Gondor and Dinethor was not is because Aragon was born to the previous king, Arazon.

The second form of legitimacy is called the Karisma type, also known as charismatic rule, and the term Karisma is derived from Christianity and mainly refers to a leader with extraordinary charisma. The representative of this type of leader is Dried Tofu, and although he is not one of the Middle-earth forces, he is the undisputed core of leadership in the Fellowship of the Ring.

Charismatic rule is often accompanied by two questions, one is whether the charisma of the leader can survive for a long time, such as the white-robed mage Saruman before Dry Tofu, who was once the president of the Middle-earth Mage Guild and the leader of the mages, but lost his leadership after being tempted by Sauron to fall.

The third type of legal government is called de jure rule, that is, the legitimacy of state power derives from certain procedural rules formulated by the state as a whole. For example, in the U.S. presidential election, a candidate can become the president of the country as long as he receives 51% of the votes, regardless of the opposition of the other 49% of citizens.

According to the different ways in which leadership is generated, these three kinds of legitimacy can also be classified, and it can be seen that traditional rule and legal rule represent a type of legitimacy, that is, they follow a certain formal standard, which we call formal legitimacy (legality), under this kind of standard, as long as the ruler is based on some kind of explicit or tacit rule, the regime is legitimate, and no one can replace it.

Charismatic rule is not. Here, when a person or organization has a certain charisma, then as long as such an organization exists stably for a long time, then he is legitimate. This means that it is not based on a certain program, but on the various charms of the ruler. We also have a term for this kind of legitimacy, which we call "legitimacy", and some people call it substantive legitimacy.

Therefore, between Dinethor and Aragorn, there is actually a question of formal legitimacy and substantive legitimacy, obviously the Lord of the Rings follows formal legitimacy, which is also caused by the Western cultural background, so not only did Aragorn break out in various ways and establish a great and righteous image, but also let Dinethor die all the way to destroy the legitimacy of his rule, and almost cut off his children and grandchildren, but he never mentioned the fact that Aragorn abandoned the stormy country of Gondor and was a ranger for decades.

This is in China, there was a saying 2,000 years ago, "Princes and generals, rather have a kind?" "After playing for decades, I still want to come back and be a king, dream of it! (To be continued.) )
