Slogans are such a thing, which is often considered useless, but in fact it is very useful. Especially in an era when cultural quality is generally low, a slogan can concisely tell a group of people what is being done for. Not to do it, for what.

You can't completely control a person, and even if you're the emperor, you can't have complete control over a person's mind. If you want to be cohesive, you have to have a spontaneous sense of common consciousness. Why is it so easy to rebel when the state is weak? Because many ordinary people, they are illiterate, illiterate people, and courtesy, righteousness and shame mean nothing to them.

At the same time, Li Mu also hid a selfish motive. This selfishness is that he wants to 'de-cult of personality', changing the worship of generals or emperors to loyalty to the country. On the surface, it seems that there is no difference, but in essence, there is an essential difference.

All subtle changes start with shouting slogans.

Why do you want to do this, because Li Mu knows the future direction of Datang. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the festival degree made a forest of people, supported the army and respected themselves, annexed each other, and successively appeared five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the internal festival degree made the real power and arrogant, and the court suffered greatly, and the people suffered from it. After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, unified the whole country, inherited the policy of Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong, strengthened the centralization of power, and gradually reduced the military, political and financial power of the Jiedu. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty also ordered all the subordinate counties to be directly under the central government, and sent courtiers to the state to govern political affairs. Since then, the festival has become an honorary title, and the history of China has since begun the situation of 'emphasizing literature over military force'.

After emphasizing literature over military force, a dead knot also appeared, and the martial artists who could fight were discriminated against, and the state had to use them under the circumstance of foreign countries. As a result, the prison army prevailed, and the trend of controlling border towns with eunuchs and civil officials became popular. This also made a group of eunuchs such as Tong Guan, and Wenchen such as large and small ministers get the opportunity to show. The problem is that many border town supervisors and military generals are alienated, so that the combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as year after year, and the supervision army is often hampered during war, so that experienced military attaches have to listen to the guidance of laymen. Under the direct transformation of the military combat effectiveness of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Song Dynasty won the reputation of a weak Song Dynasty with the highest GDP in the world at that time, because of this vicious circle.

Li Mu didn't want to face such a future, he didn't want to have the self-respect of the army at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to emphasize literature over military force, so he had to start reforming now.

He will arm a group with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. Recruits', these recruits, not only have the force to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but also a group of educated soldiers, a group of well-trained captains, they uphold the idea of self-denial and revenge to stand on the stage set up by Li Mu for them, become the future fresh blood of the Tang Dynasty, they are loyal to the country, not individuals, they protect the people of this country, not to safeguard the interests of the magnates, the emperor, these ideas that can only be realized after thousands of years, Li Mu did not think about it overnight, but he wanted to try it, imperceptibly approached, all of this, all starting from a simple slogan！

The neat procession puffed up their chests and raised their heads, and all of them stood proudly with their chins raised and expressionless.

The whole team is like a straight long line, gathered into a neat phalanx, everyone's spacing, everyone's position is not bad at all, although it has only been trained for a few days, but under the transformation of the 'military training' charter that Li Mu has personally experienced, these already very good sergeants still do it, and do it very well. Everyone became a chess piece in the square, a little excited, a little proud, a little brave and vigorous, like a newborn calf eager to try.

From time to time, there was a commotion in the distance, and they were waiting, as were the lieutenants waiting for the review.

The night was already very deep, and the sky was like ink, with a crescent moon and a trace of starlight, but there was no such thing. Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable. I don't know when the wind blew, at first it was still a little gentle, wisps, diffuse with yellow willow tops, leaves, and then it became more and more rapid and strong, twisting the strong wind, almost as ferocious as a bison, the cold wind was roaring, when the three-way drum was finished, Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, a trace of essence burst out of his eyes, and his boots studied, and he shouted loudly: "Enter!" ”

The phalanx quietly marched forward in the wind, and the queue was neat and silent.

The Kong Ming lantern in the distance is getting brighter and brighter, getting closer and closer, and it can be faintly seen that in the distance, the people who were stopped by the forbidden army outside the royal road, the heads of the people who were moving, stretched their necks, squinted, and looked at the end of the royal road with bated breath.

At this time, the noise was still, and everyone wanted to see what kind of gimmick Luoyang Hou had this time. At the same time, they also have faint expectations for these captains, wanting to see if they have a body like an iron tower and a fist the size of a casserole, whether they can defend their families and the country, and win the war!

There are also some who are idle and guessing in their hearts. Recently, one of the most popular scripts in Chang'an City, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Zhuge Liang's demeanor has become an idol in the hearts of many people through the mouths of various storytellers. They were wondering if Li Muai, with his limelight character, would he follow Zhuge Liang's example, wearing a scarf and holding a feather fan in his hand, and appeared in the team.

A lot of speculation comes with a lot of anticipation, and everyone waits with bated breath.

Click...... Click...... Click...... Click......

At the end of the royal road, there is a voice, a uniform voice is getting closer and closer, if you pay attention, someone will appear, this is the sound of boots on the bluestone ground, the strange thing is that this voice does not seem to come out of a person, but it is so neat.

Click...... Click...... Click...... Click......

Everyone's hearts were raised, and a lot of speculation followed, this kind of voice, if you listen carefully, but it seems to be wonderful, with a unique rhythm, making people have a strong sense of oppression, as if Mount Tai is about to collapse in front of you, as if it is the prelude to the coming storm.

Li Shimin also heard it, his face was slightly stunned, he could distinguish this voice from the wind, and couldn't help but glance at Li Mu suspiciously, as if asking him, what is this?

Li Mu just smiled, looking unfathomable.

In the darkness, a column of figures appeared, as if they had come from the darkness, their faces were expressionless, their heads held high, their steps were in unison, and every time their boots landed, there was a trampling sound.

This is the captain of the martial arts?

Some people began to be disappointed, it turned out that they only had a head, only a body, and like everyone else, they had two arms and two legs, and they were neither too burly nor casserole-sized fists, they ...... Very ordinary.

But somebody, something appeared, restrained the contempt in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at them like monsters, they ...... Still human?

It's people, how can it be that they don't seem to be angry at all, just hold their heads high, just follow the steps, and besides, they are so neatly arranged, although they keep moving forward, but everyone's legs are lifted at the same time, and they fall at the same time.

It's like a machine, but it gives people a kind of coldness that is silent and penetrates the bottom of the heart. They are like a wall, impregnable. They are like a spear capable of tearing apart any enemy who stands in their way!

More and more queues appeared, and the sound of footsteps became louder and louder, but there was still no trace of impurities, crisp and rhythmic.

The captains with their heads held high stepped step by step from the end of the royal road, and they were about to reach the Chengtian Gate.

This is the captain of the Datang Martial Arts Hall, they have only been training for a few days! At this moment, the expressions of all the generals froze. When they knew Li Mu's training regulations, they all had the same doubts as Su Dingfang, and some people even felt that Li Mu's kid was completely nonsense, and he didn't know how to train at all. But seeing the results of the past few days, people who have this kind of thought feel a hot fever on their faces, and the fact is slapping their faces mercilessly. How is this kind of soldier trained? It was as if thousands of enemies were in front of them, and they would not hesitate to step on them.

Yes, that's the kind of soldier! Such a soldier, who is a general does not like it!

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding secretly, the feeling of uniformity made him can't help but say with emotion: "The order is the same, I thought that my Xuanjia Army was already the first in the world, but looking at these martial arts captains, they will definitely not lose to my Xuanjia Army, they have only been practicing for a few days!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji walked to the side at some point, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, they are looking over here." ”

The words were vague, but the discerning person could still hear the slightest hint of provocation. Your Majesty, look, this kid Li Mu, a sergeant who has been training for a few days, has such power-

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, blocked back, and said: "Li Mu told me that the people who were cultivated by the martial arts hall were all Qin Jun, the Son of Heaven, and they all looked at me with their heads held high. He pursed his lips, and felt the urge to shout to them twice, but he resisted the urge and just beckoned.

The team had already arrived at the Chengtian Gate, and suddenly, there was a sonorous sound......

The sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath suddenly appeared, and Su Dingfang drew the knife, and the blade pointed at the sky.

Everyone was startled, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to protect Li Shimin, and Gonggong Gao also put his hand on the soft sword on his waist, and looked at Li Mu out of the corner of his eye.

What are you kidding, in front of the emperor, in front of the concubines, princes, princesses, and relatives, suddenly pulling out a knife, what do they want to do?

Qiang ......

The captains drew their knives in unison, and the sharp Confucian sword was cold under the light of Kong Ming's lantern.

"With my blood, I will stabilize the country and the country, and with my body, I will protect the country and the people! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

The captain's voice roared out together, with the sound of stepping, Rulin's long knife pointed to the sky, and then there was another brush, the long knife was sheathed at the same time, the footsteps were roaring, the sound echoed with the cold wind, and the team gradually moved away......

Fang Na suddenly, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the murderous momentum was soaring, even the forbidden army holding a spear next to the royal road couldn't help but be shocked, and almost didn't sit down, this shock, so that the people outside the royal road were silent for a while, and then burst out of shouts, even the scholar who was still a little reserved, couldn't help but burst into applause.

Soldier mold!

If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all like this, what Turkic cavalry are they afraid of, what Goguryeo intrusion is still worried about, whether it is Tuyuhun or Xue Yantuo, who would dare to provoke the tiger whiskers of the Tang Dynasty? !

A slogan, accompanied by the oppressive force exuded by the captains, is invisibly a tranquilizer, giving them an infinite sense of security!

That's it!

"Hooray!"

I don't know who was the first to yell, as soon as people are excited, they inevitably need catharsis.

"Hooray!"

All the people also shouted, and some people shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The people behind don't see what's happening in front of them, but emotions are contagious. Hearing the forgetful shouts of the people in front, the people behind also echoed it. The crowd was in an uproar, and there was a tendency to intensify it.

The eldest grandson Wuji was worried that something would happen, so he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in order to avoid complications, are you here today, let General Chang He lead people to disperse the people-"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in his ear: "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

You don't have to guess who shouted, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Luoyang Hou, Your Majesty is here, many royal relatives are here, and there are children here, it's not good for you to make such a loud noise." ”

His voice was completely drowned out.

Because not only Li Mu was shouting, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and his son Changsun Chong, etc., the young man on the high platform was all enthusiastic, shouting louder than Li Mu!

The eldest grandson was speechless, and said in his heart, how can Li Mu, this kid, be like a plague, do something, with demagogy, things have to be done, shouting slogans, and defending the country? He was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear: "Stabilize the country and protect the country and the people,"

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head, looked at Li Shimin, who was flushed with excitement, sighed, and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's a little out of shape!" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he relieved himself a little, and his face turned even redder, this time he was ashamed. The sound of the mountain shouting long live just now made people's blood boil, and this feeling of unity was exactly what he was pursuing, and what he was looking forward to seeing. Being in this kind of scene, occasionally messing around, is nothing. Li Shimin smiled, pointed downward, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary, listen, these calls!" ”

The sound of the mountain shouting long live is endless, rumbling like waves crashing against the beach, wave after wave, endlessly.

"This is the voice of the people, Li Mu has done a good job in this matter!"

The eldest grandson Wuji knew what to say, and he couldn't change Li Shimin's opinion on this matter, so he had to avoid the important and light, and said: "Your Majesty, no matter how well the Marquis of Luoyang does things, he can't cause a riot, if something happens, it will be a good thing and a bad thing, and it will also make the envoys of various countries laugh at it!" ”

"Whoever dares to laugh, I will let my captains fight!" Li Shimin said jokingly, he looked at the lively crowd below, and said, "I haven't been so happy for a long time, auxiliary, don't spoil my interest!" ”
