279 Striving for Merit in the Second Place (I)

After listening to Tianqi's words, Sun Chengzong realized that Tianqi also liked more land, but he didn't like to do useless work, and would rather occupy less and less than take more and lose it quickly, and belonged to a pragmatist who did things steadily. But it's right to think about it, Genghis Khan's army is said to have reached the seashore in the far west, harvested countless ears and looted countless gold and silver, but now those occupied places are still not occupied, which is an empty joy. After cutting off so many people's ears, they didn't see that the descendants of the Mongols became three-eared, and when they searched for so much gold and silver, they didn't see that their descendants were so rich that they were oily, and many people were still wearing old sheepskins and drinking the northwest wind and gnawing sand.

Sun Chengzong said eagerly: "The minister knows that the emperor is worried that the army will not be controlled, so he is unwilling to equip powerful weapons on a large scale. Of course, this person is divided into several classes, whether it can be educated first and then see the effect, those soldiers who have achieved absolute loyalty through education, the minister thinks that they can also be used boldly with confidence. ”

After a long period of analysis, Tianqi found that there are only two ways to make people loyal, one is long-term education, it is best to start education from an early age, that is, brainwashing, because at that time, people are relatively simple, like a blank sheet of paper, which is suitable for establishing their outlook on life and increasing loyalty. Another way is to give it long-term visible benefits, that is, it is equivalent to putting a big pot and telling everyone to scoop food in this pot, and at this time, there will be many fewer people who want to smash this cauldron because of interests. However, in terms of soldiers, Tianqi feels that both methods are flawed, interests will make soldiers worry too much, and education will make soldiers think too much and be not pure.

However, Tianqi saw that Sun Chengzong was very eager, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he said: "At the beginning, I asked Ni Yuanlu to find the right person while building the cannon, and if Mr. has the heart, I will ask Mr. to be responsible for finding people. Maybe after Ni Yuanlu's new equipment comes out, the people trained by Mr. will also be gathered, and if there is an effect, we will expand the scale, what do you think, sir? ”

Seeing that Tianqi listened to his opinion, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, the emperor, and the ministers will definitely do this well!" ”

On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Tianqi was still secretly shaking his head, he didn't agree with Sun Chengzong's idea from the bottom of his heart, just to give Sun Chengzong a little face, and at the same time let him do something specific. Apocalypse believes that a qualified soldier must have blood, that is, fearless and death-defying momentum, as long as there is still a breath left, even in the face of more and more ruthless enemies, he will not give up resistance, such a soldier can be regarded as a real qualified soldier. If their fearless nature is constantly suppressed through continuous education, continuous brainwashing, even if a large number of well-behaved soldiers are cultivated, how much blood will they have?

Apocalypse also knows that in order to cultivate the loyalty of soldiers, it is necessary to educate them regularly, but it is best to engrave a brand on them when they are young, and when they grow up, the effect of education is not very good, and it may be counterproductive. The soldiers only need to be encouraged and guaranteed to be fair, and it is the right way to change talents if they can't be used by classification, Sun Chengzong will not see these for many years with his troops, and there is such a request probably because he has been too idle recently.

But said that when Ni Yuanlu returned home, he saw his two wives talking with a smile, both of them were flushed and fluttered as if they were doing physical work, Ni Yuanlu is comforted by the fact that his two wives have a good relationship, and it can be seen that this relationship is not just superficial but sincere, probably because both of them are not old and have relatively cheerful personalities. Seeing Ni Yuanlu coming back, his two wives came over to help him pick up things, and kept telling him some new things while asking long and short questions, what Princess Ningde's daughter had teeth, and what someone wanted to marry the Ni family, which made Ni Yuanlu feel that these two wives were like his two daughters.

The eldest wife, Wang, was a female chief in Princess Ningde's mansion, and saw that Ni Yuanlu's words to them were simply 'um-ah', which was obviously perfunctory, so she asked: "I heard that Xianggong is studying something new again, has he encountered a problem again?" ”

The last time Ni Yuanlu made a grenade, he didn't pay attention to secrecy at home, but he was discovered by the Jurchen spies, which led to the killing of his father-in-law. Seeing that Wang was asking again, he wanted to find an excuse not to say it, but after thinking about it, he remembered that the idea of the hammer soldier last time was still Wang's suggestion, and he said that he thought of it from the book review, which shows that Wang still has a certain ability to learn from it. He nodded and said, "There is indeed a small problem but I can't explain it to you, for example, throwing a small ball on a point upwards requires the ball to be smashed on this point every time it lands, what good way do you have?" ”

Wang originally asked casually, knowing that Ni Yuanlu casually raised a question, Wang didn't want to turn around and look at Sun, Sun is Ni Yuanlu's little wife who picked up because of the explosion of Wang Gong's factory. Sun was originally a shy girl from a scholarly family, and she has been a little shy to marry Ni Yuanlu in desperation, and she gave birth to two babies two or three years after marrying the Ni family. Just add a few feathers in the opposite direction. ”

Ni Yuanlu didn't expect to get an answer, who knew that someone really knew that it was very simple when he asked, so he said: "Seeing that you are sweating on your heads, you are kicking the shuttlecock, quickly bring the shuttlecock and I will see if I can get some inspiration from it." ”

When the little girl took the shuttlecock, Ni Yuanlu understood the principle at a glance, a few feathers were fixed on the shuttlecock, and the feathers were lighter when they fell down in the sky, and they were sure to go down when the bottom of the heavier shuttlecock fell. Ni Yuanlu thought that if the impact ignition device was installed at a certain point of the grenade, and a little lighter one could be installed in the opposite direction to correct something like a feather in the direction, it would be possible to ensure that the grenade hit the set point every time it landed. Of course, you can't use feathers, as soon as the gunpowder explodes, the feathers will be burned out, Ni Yuanlu decided to try it with copper or iron sheets.

A few days later, the news of the death of Hao Chongming and An Bangyan had already been reported a few days earlier, and this time it was a formal and detailed public report, which detailed the number and location of the annihilation of the rebels, as well as the plan for what to do in the future. Tianqi took a brief look at this report in the Qianqing Palace, and the front was all in a flash, but he just looked carefully at the credit evaluation in the back, and then took out a secret report from a few days ago and compared it, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

A few days ago, the Military Intelligence Department took the lead in reporting the news of the killing of Gao Chongming and An Bangyan, saying that the overall situation of the counterinsurgency in Guizhou had been decided, but there were some hidden dangers. Second, Zhu Xieyuan was suspected of helping the rebellion, and the Sichuan army contributed more than the Guizhou army in quelling the rebellion, but Zhu Xieyuan praised the Guizhou army more than he affirmed the Sichuan army. Third, Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region, was excluded, and she herself also had some views on the establishment of Han officials.

Sun Chengzong's meaning is to let Zhu Xieyuan report the plan first, mainly how to deal with Anwei in the next step, and now Anwei's attitude is not clear, it is an object that can be fought for, but pushing it is a new enemy. It stands to reason that An Wei is the real Shuixi Xuanfu envoy, An Bangyan used to be Shuixi Xuanfu Tongzhi, and Luxury Chongming was the former Yongning Xuanfu envoy who had rebelled in Shuixi, and the rebellion of luxury and An was not very related to Anwei. As the overseer of the Southwest Military Region and has been in Guizhou for a long time to quell the rebellion, Zhu Xieyuan's understanding of the enemy and his control over the surrounding officers and troops are no one else, and his opinion should be respected.

Qin Liangyu was still able to follow the orders of the imperial court without discount, and she had already put forward her opinion on the establishment of Han officials in Miaodi a few years ago, believing that it was the best choice for the locals to manage local affairs. You can accept part of her thoughts, and if you can't accept it, you can slowly persuade her, but if you can't do it, you can also make a pilot first to let everyone see which method is better, these are not very urgent. If Zhu Xieyuan really favors the Guizhou army and treats the Sichuan army poorly when discussing meritorious deeds, it will inevitably arouse strong dissatisfaction among the Sichuan army, and it is possible that the army mutiny will not be handled well.

In the official recital, Tianqi saw Zhu Xieyuan's list of meritorious people, among which most of the generals in Guizhou were ranked in front, and the generals of the Sichuan Army were obviously inferior to the Guizhou Army. Maybe Zhu Xieyuan also knew that there were rumors that he favored one over the other, and he explained that he was in Chongqing before and was not a native of Guizhou, so there was no such thing as helping the Guizhou army. He believes that it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate the merits of the Luxury and An Rebellion for a long time, and he can only use the last battle to judge the merits and rewards, and in the future, when he has time, he will evaluate the merits of the previous battles.

After reading Zhu Xieyuan's explanation, Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong's opinion, Sun Chengzong said in his opinion that Zhu Xieyuan's statement could be accepted, and it was not easy to make an accurate assessment of the things in the past ten years before and after the Extravagant and An Rebellion, and if anyone has an opinion on Zhu Xieyuan's report, it can be slowly coordinated. Sun Chengzong said that he hadn't heard Zhu Xieyuan's suggestion about the throne, and he would make a decision when his suggestion came up, but Qin Liangyu's matter needed to have an idea, if the apocalypse already had an idea, he should start arranging it now, and it was best to write to each other to express his views.

Qin Liangyu doesn't like to set up Han officials in Miaodi is one aspect, and the other aspect is that she has been excluded by other people, which is one of the reasons why Tianqi feels that she needs to be appeased, Qin Liangyu is excluded because she is a woman and because she is a Miao person, Han people reject Miao people, and it is a tradition in the Ming officialdom to exclude Miao men and women, and Qin Liangyu is understandably resistant to this.
