Chapter 32 The First Lesson on Liangshan
How to explain the problem of belief and military discipline to the people here, to be honest, Gu Hao really has no bottom in his heart, the logical relationship between belief and military discipline is not at all in this era, he is not afraid of revealing his stuffing when he talks a few words, and the most tangled thing is how to use the current language to explain faith and military discipline clearly. If he says that belief is the internal motivation, military discipline is the external constraint, not to mention accuracy, it is estimated that few people will understand it. A few days ago, he talked to Liangshan's management for a long time, but he didn't have much confidence in what the effect was, not to mention that he was facing a team member with even worse quality today.
However, when he stood on the three-foot podium and faced more than 60 pairs of focused eyes, the sacredness and responsibility of being a teacher arose spontaneously in Gu Haotian's heart.
"Standing on this podium tonight, facing the elite of my Liangshan Escort Team, do you know what I am thinking at the moment?" Gu Haotian's opening remarks successfully attracted everyone, and they saw more than sixty pairs of eyes focused on his face.
"I think about what some of us can achieve in 30 years' time. Ladies and gentlemen, if I say that in 30 years, we will build a beautiful and rich homeland in Yangsan, can you do it? β
"Yes!" The audience responded in unison.
"So if I say that thirty years later, we will defeat the barbarians in the north and recover the sixteen states of Youyun of the Han family, do you think you can do it?"
No one in the audience answered.
"Then if I say that thirty years later, we will wipe out the barbarians in the north and restore the vast territory of my Han and Tang dynasties, everyone says can we do itβcan we!" Gu Haotian raised his voice and asked loudly.
And at this moment, the audience can be said to be silent, except for Wen Huanzhang and other people who can read his heart, some people are afraid that this little official is a little abnormal.
"I asked three questions just now, the first one everyone answered very loudly, and the last two no one responded, which shows that everyone thinks that the former goal, we can achieve it in 30 years, and the last two, everyone must be thinking, what a big thing, how can we little people do it, and the little officials are not talking nonsense with a fever"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Gu Haotian's witticism made the nerves in the audience relax suddenly.
"These three questions are related to the beliefs I am going to talk about tonight." Gu Haotian turned around and drew a heavy stroke under the word faith.
"As I said a few days ago, faith is to set up a good wish in one's own heart, and then to achieve it with indomitable energy. Today, if we make a wish in our hearts to build Liangshan into a beautiful and rich home in 30 years, I believe that everyone will say that it can be done, then if someone asked you a year ago, can you live a life of fine clothes and food in 30 years? β
The audience was silent again, a year ago, many people were still running around for food, some were still homeless, and even mountain bandits, there was no food and clothing, how could they dare to think of fine clothes and food.
"I guess most of you say no, maybe you haven't thought about it or don't dare to think about it. Today I ask you, in thirty years, whether we can recapture the clouds and destroy the barbarians, and you have not thought or dared to think about it. Why is this so? This is that you don't have a firm belief in your heart, and if you don't even have a desire in your heart, then how can you work hard, and where can you work hard? β
Gu Haotian paused deliberately, and everyone in the audience showed thoughtful looks.
"There is a commander overseas who said a famous saying, he said, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier', everyone is an escort, and they may have to run in the army in the future, if your wish is only a captain, then you will command a maximum of ten soldiers in your life, if your desire is a general, then your strength will be towards the goal of becoming a general, and you may be the commander of thousands of troops in the future."
"Don't you think it's unattainable, isn't there less of a general from Li Shu in ancient times?" Gu Haotian asked loudly again.
And everyone in the audience seemed to be awakened, and their eyes all lit a raging fire of hope.
"Now let me ask you one more thing, in thirty years we can recapture the clouds and destroy the barbarians, do you think it is possible?" Seeing that the time was ripe, Gu Haotian asked again.
"Yes!" This time everyone answered.
"Are you still an iron-beaten man, why is the sound you make is not as good as that of a little lady, can you do it?" Gu Haotian stirred up again.
Sitting in the middle of the front row, "Huo" stood up, and everyone stood up in an "uproar" for a while.
"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" Everyone beat their chests and shouted hoarsely, and for a while the indoor shouting was like thunder, and everyone was enthusiastic.
On the stage, Gu Haotian's heart finally fell, such an abstract concept as belief is too difficult to explain, even in his previous life, he only had a general understanding, and he had never seen it systematically. In the past few days, he wanted to avoid talking about it, but he thought that the people of Yuanliangshan had no faith, and they only knew how to drink wine and eat meat in large pieces, and finally they were fooled by Song Heizi to recruit An, and it ended miserably. Tonight, it seems, his deception has succeeded.
But everyone in the audience had their own ideas, Wen Huanzhang was confused, he felt that this disciple's talent was becoming more and more unfathomable, but it was extremely incommensurate with his age. Xiao Rang was shocked, he felt that compared to Gu Haotian's knowledge, his talent was really insignificant. The brothers of the Yu Sheng, Sun An, and the Ruan family were left with only worship, not to mention the guards of the group.
That is, in half an hour, Gu Haotian completed his mobilization speech at the opening ceremony and retired. In the second half, the part about military discipline was given by Wen Huanzhang, the focus was on the "three disciplines and eight attentions", Wen Huanzhang was a well-educated person and an expert in education, and at the same time took Gu Haotian's advice to reason with examples, so talking about these boring disciplines is like a market artist telling a story, ups and downs, fascinating, but everything is disciplined, teaching people to be vigilant.
A class lasted for two hours, Gu Haotian was impassioned and inspiring, and Wen Huanzhang commented on the ancient and modern, and the wonderful Ji was behind. It wasn't until the middle of the moon that everyone reluctantly left the classroom.
"Brother Sun An, the first two of the three disciplines, all actions are under command and do not take a stitch from the people, I remember clearly, what is the third one, and I forgot it." He was still immersed in the atmosphere of the classroom.
"I remember this, that is, all the seizures should be returned to the public, that is, the property seized in the war must first be handed over to the public treasury. When I and the petty officials suppressed the Black Pine Ridge Jia Ergou, how did the petty officials explain, thinking that the petty officials had long thought about this layer. It was Ruan Xiaowu who replied, and there was still a hint of show off in his tone.
"The three disciplines and eight points of attention, and the rest I agree with, that is, I don't abuse the prisoners, and my heart is not smooth. It's really like what the little official said, if one day we hit that dark cloud, but we can't kill the Khitan savage, how willing I am. Geng Gong and the Khitan people seem to have great hatred, but as a newcomer, they don't dare to shout as loudly as they win.
"Also, the Khitans and the Tanguts are the same barbarians, they threshk grass every year, and treat us Han people like pigs and dogs, and they don't abuse prisoners there." Sun An traveled from Jingyuan to Hebei and knew the suffering of the border people.
On the square outside the cafeteria, the team members gathered around to talk about the content of the class, and they all seemed to be unsatisfied. Gu Haotian didn't leave, he and Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Rang and others stood aside and listened. Xiao Rang's current main business is lecturing, and what he has seen and heard in the past few days has almost subverted his teaching concept, and he is anxious to digest it for the next lecture. Gu Haotian was thinking about another question, he was thinking about what kind of convenient and easy-to-remember method to let everyone remember the three disciplines and eight points of attention, so he thought of the famous song in later generations.
When he returned to his residence and pushed the door into the room, he saw a young man standing there, and when Gu Haotian was surprised, he heard a "poof" smile, and it turned out to be Pan Jinlian in men's clothes. She originally asked the petty officials to take her to tonight's class, but Gu Haotian considered that it was not suitable for a young maid to go to such a serious place and refused, who would have thought that she would find a way for Master Wen to change into a man's clothes and pretend to be his boy and blend in. It was also just now that she was too intoxicated with the classroom style of a petty official, and she forgot to change her costume and was arrested.
"It's nonsense, not next time."
"Lian'er can save it." For Gu Haotian, Pan Jinlian is not afraid now.
"By the way, since Lian'er listened to the lecture, I will test you, how much do you remember about the three disciplines and eight disciplines that you talked about in the evening?"
"Lian'er is the stupidest, at most half." Pan Jinlian was a little frustrated.
"If I made it into a song and sang it, would it be easier to remember?"
"Songs, little officials can also make up songs!"
"Your petty officials are capable of anything." Gu Haotian bracketed her little Yao nose. Then, with a slight modification, in her crazy eyes, she sang the famous song of the later life.
All the guards should keep in mind that there are three major disciplines and eight points of attention
First, all actions should be commanded and marched in unison in order to achieve victory
Second, I don't take a needle and thread from the people, and the people support and like me
Third, all seizures should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the burden on the people
We must do the three major rules, and we must not forget the eight points of attention
First, speak in a harmonious manner, respect the people, and don't play with pride
Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing
Thirdly, if the borrower has used something, return it in person, and do not lose it
Fourth, if the thing is damaged, it will be compensated according to the price, and it will not be half a cent
Fifth, it is forbidden to beat or curse people, and the banditry style must be resolutely eliminated
Sixth, love the crops of the people, and pay attention to them everywhere when marching and fighting
Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and the habit of being mischievous must be eliminated
Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat captives, and the severity of the crime must be clearly distinguished in advance.
Everyone should be conscious of observing discipline and supervise each other, so as not to violate
The discipline of the Liangshan army must be clearly remembered, and the guards love the people everywhere
Defend the country and always move forward, and the people of the world are not welcome
The song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" has a total of two melodies, the rhythm is cheerful, simple and easy to learn, Gu Haotian only sang it twice, and Pan Jinlian learned it. Not to mention that the two sang together, they also looked quite good.
The novel and beautiful singing in the little official's room was first known to the Bian Xiang team of the personal guards, and Gu Haotian took the opportunity to organize them to teach, not wanting to have a particularly good effect, and in only two days, everyone in the Bian Xiang team could sing and memorize. So Gu Haotian simply took the opportunity of night study to pull Bian Xiang's team up to perform in chorus, and this novel singing and performance method caused a sensation in Liangshan for a while.
Next, the members of Bian Xiang's team became fragrant and sweet, and each team rushed to teach singing, so in only half a month, the players on Liangshan remembered the three disciplines and eight attentions.
Gu Haotian took advantage of the situation to set the rules, and after that, the escort team had to sing it before training, eating, and class, and for a while, the melody of "Eight Points of Attention to Great Discipline" floated everywhere on Liangshan, and Liangshan's military discipline also took root in the minds of all the team members and even the people on the mountain with the singing.
