Section 37 Inspection of Martial Arts (1)
Zhu Yunwen and his entourage bypassed Jinghu Lake, showed the guards the waist card and entered the martial arts. Martial arts by the mountains and rivers, the environment is quiet, you can see a lawn at the entrance, in the middle of the lawn stands the statues of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the statue is exquisitely made, lifelike, even the facial expressions are depicted in detail, it is now about the time, the sun shines on the bodies of the two generals from the east, Xu Da's long sword points upward, flashing with cold light, the command is determined, showing the demeanor of the general; It seems that there are endless enemies in front of it, but it is indomitable, crisscrossing the battlefield, showing an invincible demeanor. Zhu Yunwen took the servants in front of the statues of the two and bowed.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the four guards and said: "The King of Zhongshan and the King of Kaiping have been fighting horses all their lives, driving out the Yuan soldiers, and crisscrossing the desert, although they failed to level the grassland in the end, they are still a generation of heroes. Outside the battlefield, he is modest and cautious, so he can keep his name and benefit his children and grandchildren. I hope that the four of you can take them as an example, and the eldest husband should set up a green ambition, create immortal achievements, report to the king's grace, and protect the people, so that you can not go back to the world in vain, can you do it? ”
The enthusiasm of the four people boiled when they listened, and they got up and knelt down: "Your Highness, the last general should listen to His Highness's teachings, and he is willing to serve His Highness to the death, die on the battlefield, and shroud himself in horse leather." ”
"Okay, you guys get up, I really hope that there will be a King of Zhongshan or King Kaiping among you." Zhu Yunwen picked up the four of them, patted them on the shoulder, and walked forward.
The four guards stood up and looked at Zhu Yunwen's back, and couldn't help but feel excited, and followed Zhu Yunwen excitedly.
Bypassing the lawn, they heard the deafening slogan "kill", and everyone looked at it, and the playground was carrying out a queue assassination exercise, and on the high platform stood the commander Guo Key, next to the drummer and musician, who were responsible for issuing instructions. The teams are lined up in a square formation, and whether viewed horizontally or vertically, they are all straight lines. Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but nodded, this is the army he wants. With the sound of even drums, the phalanx began to move, and even while moving, it remained largely in formation. As the sound of the horn changes, the formation also changes direction, and everything looks so pleasing to the eye. However, there are also those who do not do well, and when they are seen by the patrol next to them, they will be pulled out, whipped twice, and then continue training.
After the formation training, the assassination training began, all the students held spears, stabbed in unison according to the sound of the drum, and then stepped forward to continue to stab, and the cycle continued, the formation was maintained perfectly, and there was no sound on the playground except for the clear drums. With the sound of drums and music, the phalanx will turn at any time, but the formation is not scattered, which is really pleasing to the eye, but anyone can feel the murderous intent contained in it.
The training continued......
In fact, Guo Jian had already seen Zhu Yunwen next to him, but he didn't stop training, after training for half an hour, the queue was adjusted to the direction of Zhu Yunwen, and then an order was given, and everyone saluted Zhu Yunwen: "See Your Highness, Your Highness Chitose Chitose." Zhu Yunwen smiled with a smile on his face: "The soldiers have worked hard, Lone just watched your training, it is very good, I hope you can make persistent efforts, complete all the training, and fight bravely for the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield in the future, Lone Wei will personally award you medals." ”
"Obey the teachings of His Highness."
"Let's disperse, Guo Key, come here."
Guo Jian immediately ran over and saluted Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Your Highness has also been cleared, please take care of your body." ”
"Hehe," Zhu Yunwen hadn't seen a few companions for a long time, and happily patted Guo Key's shoulder and said: "Guo Key, I haven't seen you for a long time, I feel like you've turned black, and you've become a lot stronger, it seems that you haven't practiced in vain in the past few months." ”
Guo Jian was also very excited: "Your Highness, although the last general was born in the general's door, but there is no systematic training, in the past two months, according to His Highness's method of training, it feels really good, and the spirit of the students has also improved a lot." ”
"That's good, physical training is important, but what about command, strategy, and culture?"
"Your Highness, please come with me, this is being taught in the classroom now, let's go over together."
"Okay."
Guo Jian called the deputy captain, explained, and accompanied Zhu Yunwen to the classroom.
Zhu Yunwen took a look at the classrooms and found that the talents from the Ministry of Rites were giving literacy classes to officers, and there were three classes in total, the primary class, the intermediate class and the advanced version, the primary class can graduate if you know 300 words, the intermediate class needs to know 1,000 words, and the advanced version needs to be able to understand the imperial court newspaper and write simple official documents. Zhu Yunwen found that some officers scratched their ears and cheeks, and it was indeed difficult for them to learn cultural knowledge, but Zhu Yunwen set strict requirements that they must graduate from the senior class before they can graduate from martial arts, otherwise they will be repatriated. If they can enter the martial arts, they are all relatively good local officers, and if they are sent back, everyone is afraid of being laughed at by their colleagues, so they can only study hard.
However, Zhu Yunwen found that the teaching of Xiucai was too rigid, and there were no suitable teaching materials, and he suddenly remembered the popular "Three Character Classic", which he still remembered very clearly, go back and write it out, and use it as a teaching material for martial arts, it should be of some use.
After doing three classrooms, Guo Jian took Zhu Yunwen and his party around the classroom and walked towards the teacher's area behind. Zhu Yunwen hurriedly grabbed Guo Key: "What about the teaching of infantry, cavalry and firearms?" ”
Guo Jian was surprised: "Those have been taught, Qu Dudu, He Dudu and General Mu will soon finish speaking, and then it will be actual combat training, now martial arts mainly include queue training, infantry training and cavalry training, as well as firearms training, but except for queue training, the others are not very good." ”
"Why?"
"Because I feel that this kind of basic training is aimed at soldiers, and most of the current trainees are hundreds or thousands of households, so I don't study very carefully."
"Oh, that's it, what about the staff room?"
"The staff room is the most lively, the three instructors and the show talents run to the staff room as soon as they are free, Lord Wang has designed a lot of rules for wargame deduction, and recently included famous examples in history in the deduction, this time there are more people, everyone often quarrels, often slammed the door out, but after a while, will come back, and the last general will often go."
"Then what are Lord Tie, Lord Qi, and Lord Huang busy with?"
"Lord Tie is in charge of military discipline and is very strict, and everyone is very afraid of him, including the three instructors. The two adults, Qi and Huang, are mainly busy with the daily affairs of martial arts, and they are also very busy, but they occasionally go to the staff room to run. ”
Zhu Yunwen slowly understood that the main achievements of the current martial arts are cultural classes, queue training, and staff rooms, and other infantry, cavalry and muskets do not seem to have more mature teaching methods, and it seems that the Ming Dynasty does not have a good way to train officers. He finally understood why the status of martial artists was not as good as that of literati, because the cultivation of martial artists did not seem to be standardized, but later generations had already standardized these, Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, this part seemed to need to spend some energy on his own.
The group walked and chatted, came to the staff room, heard the sound of quarrels from a long distance, and when they got closer, Zhu Yunwen found that there were five rooms in the staff room, and there were people arguing in each room, so he couldn't help but look at Guo Key. Guo Jian said with a smile: "Your Highness, there was only one staff room at the beginning, and then there were too many people, and the noise was too strong, so Lord Wang asked for a few more rooms, named them as the staff room 1 to the staff room 5, and each room has a battle case to discuss every day, who is interested, go to which room, and you can also vote to choose which battle case to discuss." It's just that each discussion must form the results of the discussion, including the reasons for support and opposition, and these are finally kept by Lord Wang. ”
Well, Zhu Yunwen nodded, this method is not bad, Wang Du is really a talent.
Zhu Yunwen stood in front of the door of the staff room, Guo Jian hurriedly opened the door, and a group of mermaids entered, and there were more than a dozen people in the room discussing a battle example, and on the blackboard and the wall chart, they were discussing the battle of Weishui. Zhu Yunwen smiled, this topic is very interesting. didn't let Guo Jian speak, just listened quietly on the side.
Some of the others noticed that someone was coming, and some didn't notice it at all, but they didn't care, because Qi De, Huang Zicheng, Tie Xuan and others also came often, and everyone was used to it.
Just look at a small man holding a whip and say: "I think there are three main reasons for the failure of the former Qin: first, the emperor drove the expedition in person, was proud to underestimate the enemy, hastily dispatched a million troops, and the dispatch was not effective, which was the way to defeat. For example, Han Gaozu can be 100,000, Fu Jian He De can dare to command a million army; Two: Recklessly use the general Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu was defeated and had to surrender, but it was only a few months, how to ensure that he returned to his heart; Third, the Qin army was not repaired, its morale was low, and it was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, which led to a retreat that was out of control. Zhu Yunwen looked at the past, this person he knew, it was Tan Yuan Tan Wangzhi who sent him the letter.
As soon as Tan Wangzhi's words fell, a red-faced man on the opposite side stood up and said, "Tan Xiucai, I think the main reason is that the Qin army's combat effectiveness is too poor, the training is not good, and the command is not appropriate, so it will be a fiasco." Guo Jian whispered to Zhu Yunwen: "This person Jinan Wei Qianhu Zhao Jun is a brave general. Zhu Yunwen nodded, and said in his heart that he seemed to be a brave man.
Everyone felt that it seemed to make sense, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man sitting in the back stood up, his face was like a crown of jade, his waist was like an ape, and his voice was loud: "Everyone, I think Fu Jian is too heavy on foreign troops, such as Murong Chui of Xianbei and Yao Chang of the Qiang tribe, Fu Jian has subdued these foreign races, and they should be idle, not let them master heavy troops." The so-called non-our race, their hearts must be different, they will not really hope that the former Qin will win, otherwise they will have no hope of recovering the country. So I think this is the main reason for the failure of Qianqin. Guo Jian said in a low voice: "This is the hundred households of Yanshan Right Guard, called Zhang Fu." ”
Zhang Fu? This name is very familiar, oh, he is the person of Uncle Yan Wang, his father is called Zhang Yu, he died in the Battle of Jingyan, and Zhang Fu was later named the Duke of the Kingdom. It seems that he is really a talent.
While he was talking, Wang Du pushed the door in, and saw Zhu Yunwen at a glance, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Yunwen waving his hand and asked him to come over. Wang Du walked to Jianwen and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, how long have you been here?" ”
"It's interesting to sit down and listen to their discussions and deductions."
Wang Du nodded yes.
Listening to everyone continue to discuss for half an hour, Zhu Yunwen bowed his head and said a few words to Wang Du, Wang Du stood up and walked to the blackboard, everyone immediately quieted down, Wang Du looked at everyone, and said: "The Battle of Huangshui is a far-reaching battle, which directly established the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it will take more than 200 years before Emperor Wen of Sui unified China." I just listened to your discussion and think it makes sense, so I'll summarize it here. ”
"First of all, what was the reason for the failure of Qianqin? Let's talk about it one by one. ”
Everyone talked nonsense, and then Wang Du wrote the content on the blackboard, and after a while, the following content appeared on the blackboard:
1. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was orthodox, and the former Qin Dynasty was unpopular.
Second, the reuse of the alien Murong Chui and Yao Chang, giving heavy power, and the military is uneven.
3. Blindly reusing the demoted general Zhu Xu, which led to the leakage of military aircraft.
Fourth, the army is poorly trained, and it is not as brave as the Beifu army.
Fifth, the former Qin was based on the Di nationality, which was already sparsely populated, and should not appear on the battlefield in a hurry.
Sixth, the emperor commanded the army, and Fu Jian was not known for military affairs, and was mainly responsible for the final defeat.
Seventh, the army lacked repair and rushed to a decisive battle, so it led to defeat.
......
After a while, he wrote more than a dozen articles, Wang Du looked at everyone patiently, and when no one spoke, he continued: "Then is there a possibility that Qianqin will win?" And what needs to be done? ”
Everyone continued to discuss, Wang Du continued to record, and after a while, the following content appeared on the blackboard:
First, the former Qin should solve the internal troubles, such as the threat of the Xianbei and Qiang tribes and then go south.
Second, Fu Jian should sit in Chang'an, and let the Xianbei and Qiang tribes go south, which can consume the forces of dissidents, and at the same time not give the Eastern Jin Dynasty a chance to recover.
Third, there are too many troops in the south, it is meaningless, and the commanders and elite soldiers should be selected, and the orders should be the same, or there may be a chance of victory.
Fourth, before gaining absolute superiority, we must not reuse demoted generals to avoid leaking military aircraft.
......
After a while, there were more than ten more articles, and Wang Du smiled and said: "Okay, the summary is very good, so if the former Qin wins the battle of Weishui, can it unify China in one fell swoop?" ”
Everyone was silent, and after a while, Tan Yuan stood up and said, "Lord Wang, I think that Jiankang had no troops at that time, and it is very likely that he will surrender directly. ”
"The humble disagrees, the Jiangling defenders in the upper reaches can go downstream, and the former Qin is competing with the Jin army on the river, I'm afraid it is not an opponent, so the Eastern Jin Dynasty may not die."
"Even if it lasts like this, how long can it exist, it will eventually perish."
......
Wang Du summed it up and said: "That is to say, if Jiankang has a garrison, then the former Qin will not be able to destroy the Jin in one fell swoop, and it will still be ruled by dividing the river, but the strategic balance of power will be lost, and the destruction of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is just around the corner." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wang Du put down the chalk and suddenly saluted Zhu Yunwen: "Next, let's ask His Highness to make a summary." Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but turn their heads and kneel down to salute: "See Your Highness." ”
Zhu Yunwen originally planned to listen to it for a while, but he didn't expect to be commanded by Wang Du, so he couldn't help but smile: "Everyone get up, in the future, on this occasion, you don't have to kneel and worship, it's too troublesome." As he spoke, he walked over to the blackboard and asked everyone to sit down.
"You have already listened to the discussion just now, and everyone has discussed it very well, not only discussing the military situation, but also discussing the political situation, which is very good, you must know that military is just a continuation of politics, and military means are just one of political means, as a soldier, you can't understand politics, otherwise you won't be able to choose the most effective military means."
"From a military point of view, the former Qin concentrated a million troops, which is very in line with the idea of concentrating troops, but the concentration of troops is also limited, beyond its own ability to command, that is a disaster. If Qianqin had adopted 200,000 or 300,000 elite troops, it might not have failed. There are two kinds of concentrated use of troops, one is temporal, which refers to the maximum use of troops in a certain dense time, such as night sneak attacks, and the use of cavalry behind the enemy's flank to strike a sudden blow, the reason why cavalry is terrible is that its speed far exceeds that of infantry, so you can choose the enemy's weak link, quickly put far more dense troops than the enemy's army, and then succeed in one blow. One is spatial, that is, to concentrate the use of forces on a certain battlefield, break through one point, and then break through the overall situation. But in most cases, it is not necessarily possible to ensure that one's own strength exceeds that of the other side, so it is necessary to rely on command and maneuver to form a force advantage on the local battlefield, reduce the enemy's vital force by annihilating the enemy, and then form a battlefield advantage, mobility is very important here, so you need to use cavalry as much as possible, if there is not enough cavalry, you need to strengthen training to increase the mobility of infantry, so you need to strictly train your subordinates to enhance mobility as much as possible. ”
"Another one, Lone's view of the Battle of Weishui is like this: Fu Jian is too good and impatient, militarily speaking, he has unified the entire north, the Tuoba Dynasty has also been conquered, the western front has conquered Bashu, and the central line has also conquered Xiangyang, Lone believes that the correct strategy is to concentrate on attacking the central line, obtain the Jingxiang region, and then make peace with the army of the western front, go downstream, and adopt the strategy of destroying Wu in the Western Jin Dynasty and Yuan in the Song Dynasty, maybe it will be better. The eastern front should adopt a pressing strategy and prevent the Beifu Army from reinforcing the upper reaches and reinforcing the capital. This is a gradual progress, and it should not be a one-time battle. Of course, the main reason is political factors, since Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian was full of ambition, could not listen to different opinions, and turned a blind eye to the crisis around him, so he finally had this defeat. A huge empire collapsed in an instant, and it took more than 20 years to build, but it only fell in an instant, so Sun Tzu said: 'Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored'. Lone has high hopes for all of you here, hoping that everyone can protect the frontier for the Ming Dynasty and sweep away the four razes. ”
Wang Du took the lead in applauding, and led all the students to applaud together: "Your Highness said so well, thank you for your teachings." ”
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and said: "But these are strategic issues, as a soldier, you can't only consider strategy, but also consider tactical issues, so let's continue the war games and think about how to defeat the enemy by the water." ”
Everyone should say yes in unison. Then Zhu Yunwen walked out of the staff room with Wang Du and others, and asked the students to continue to deduce the battle of Weishui.
