Chapter 181: Ambition
"Wei Qing and Huo Quai's affairs were originally thought to be forgotten in the history books, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would bring these things out now." Yang Su looked at the generals on the stage who were "high-spirited" after listening to the class, and felt a little strange for a while.
In fact, such a historical allusion is nothing to the children of a family, and it can even be said to be familiar, but for these soldiers with different backgrounds, and even three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of soldiers, such clichés are obviously also very attractive, Yang Su does not know how useful this is, but at least from the current point of view, it has successfully mobilized the morale of the army.
The army of the Han Dynasty did not lack the agitation of interests, and one victory after another could ensure that the soldiers could obtain enough money and military merits, but it lacked another content, that is, spiritual agitation. The soldiers are actually fighting because of Li Xinchen's victory in a hundred battles, and they believe that Li Xinchen can lead them to victory, which is the greatest spiritual strength.
However, this kind of spiritual power will not last long, and Li Xinchen himself does not guarantee when there will be mistakes, and the myth will be "shattered", let alone let this spiritual power continue to the next generation.
Throughout the dynasties, only when the soldiers know what they are fighting and why they are fighting, can they truly maintain the high morale of an army. Not to mention the modern PLA, that's clear to everyone.
Since the pre-Qin era, the Shang Dynasty changed the law for the first time to clarify what the Qin people wanted to do, that is, to defend the country, that is, to "go to the national disaster together", telling the old Qin people to fight for survival, so the black Great Qin rose in Guanzhong and was able to sweep Liuhe; And in the Han Dynasty, not to mention, whether Wei Qing attacked Mobei from afar, or Huo Quai's wolf Juxu, it was all to kill the Huns, all to defend the country, and let the clouds that had shrouded the heads of the Han people for four generations completely disperse.
But later, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the contradictions between the imperial court and the feudal towns intensified, and in the Song Dynasty, the army became a place of distribution, and the soldiers entered the army without an object to be loyal to, without a spiritual force that could insist on them moving forward, they simply fought for military salaries, just for the military merits that may not fall on their heads at all, and they could not feel the honor of opening up the territory and the sense of mission of chasing the north. Naturally, I don't feel the shame that I can't escape as a soldier.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty, it was naturally even worse.
Perhaps many people will think that it is unrealistic for Li Xinchen to preach the deeds of Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and even Zhao Zilong and Chen Qingzhi, but Li Xinchen knows that in just a few generations, an army will degenerate into something because it has no goal to forge ahead. We can't always hope that an army will have an endless stream of famous generals, and history has proved that even if a famous general is born, once his ideas and strategies are completely behind the times, then even if he is a famous general, he will only have the fate of being slaughtered.
From the original crossing of the Green Mountains to the later defeat of Tongguan, what happened to the Tang Army in a generation, Li Xinchen knew very well. This army can afford victory, but not defeat. Therefore, Li Xinchen needs a team that can move forward resolutely without fear of sacrifice, so that he and his descendants can support the dynasty and sweep the tide farther away.
Drinking horses in the Persian Gulf, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty in history!
"That's not a good thing." Yang Yue stood beside Yang Su and said in a low voice.
"Of course that's a good thing." Yang Su laughed and said, "I feel that there is an inexhaustible amount of strength in a certain body, seal the wolf Juxu, Yan Ran Le Shi, that is really famous in history, a certain Yang Su can do this in this life, the ancestors of the Hongnong Yang family will be proud!" ”
Yang Yue looked at Yang Su with some surprise, his brother has always had a calm personality, and it was precisely for this reason that the old men in the family decisively let Yang Su sit in the position of the head of the family at a young age. And it turns out that Yang Su is indeed such a person, happy and angry, although he is only in his thirties, he has a deep city, and he has a huge family of Hongnong Yang Clan step by step from the shadow of Yang Su's murder more than 20 years ago.
And today's Yang Su seems to be no longer the Yang Su that Yang Yue knows, he also has his own ambitions and dreams. Having taken on so much for this family, he also has his own things to do.
"Out of Yumen Pass all the way to the west, Qiuzi, Loulan, and further west is the Green Ridge, that is where my Han soldiers once stopped, that is the place where thirty-six horsemen can roll up the wind and clouds." Yang Su laughed and said, "Sooner or later, I Yang Su will also be green immediately!" ”
Yang Yue looked at Yang Su, as if this was the brother in his mind, with great ambitions.
Immediately green ridge······ Yang Yue muttered in his heart.
As a scholar, I also yearn for Ban Dingyuan.
"Brother, brother!" At this time, a young man ran over quickly, panting and said, "I can count on finding you, it's really lively here." ”
"You should also follow the army to exercise, it's only a few steps from the academy, and you're tired like this." Yang Su said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you let you go to the academy first in the past two days to listen, why did you come here?" ”
This young man, more precisely, is Li Yuan, who went south with Yang Su, and at that moment he patted his somewhat thin chest: "The mountain chief took us over to collect the wind, saying that it was for us to feel the spirit of Jin Ge Iron Horse." ”
"Oh?" Yang Su was stunned for a moment, "Filial piety? ”
Li Yuan nodded hurriedly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother, you also know that this scholar has always looked down on being a soldier, if it weren't for figures like Xiao Mugong to come forward, who would want to come to the academy?" ”
Although he is also a "scholar", Li Yuan does not have much rejection of the military. His ancestor Li Hu was originally a military general, and the Li family in Longxi was also a family of military generals. However, Li Yuan, the "auditor", has no opinions, it does not mean that others have no opinions, in this era, those who can study and study are all children of the family, even if they are from poor families, they are not willing to stand with the lower-level big soldiers, if it is not for Xu Ling, they will definitely disdain it.
Yang Su bowed slightly, and Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Xiao Mugong said that he wanted to tell everyone about the Biansai poems in the Yuefu poems in this place, so not only the people in the academy, but also the people from other places who came to listen. ”
"In the end, it's filial piety." Yang Su and Yang Yue glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Xu Ling has been famous for a long time, there is Yu Xin in the north, and Xu Ling in the south, which is recognized as two literary masters in the north and south, and these two people also have their own strengths.
