Li Shi stayed in the barracks for a day until the evening before returning to the palace.

Wei Renshi also followed him to the palace, and Li Shiping retired from the palace, leaving only Wei Renshi.

"Wei Qing's method of forging and training soldiers in the army is really effective." Li Shi said to Wei Renshi: "The three hundred soldiers of Zhenguan are no different from the Shence Army, and they are even slightly stronger than the Shence Army in terms of orders and prohibitions. Moreover, when I look at these soldiers, one by one seems to be very willing to sacrifice their lives for the country, I actually feel that they have a kind of spirit that is not afraid of death, but I don't know why? ”

After a pause, Li Shi asked again: "This point is that the Shence Army can't do it, could it be Wei Qing's method of forging and training soldiers, can it still change the minds of those soldiers?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said: "There is indeed such a method, in fact, an excellent soldier can't help but have excellent combat ability and ideology. The role played by a soldier who is loyal to the monarch and the country, loves the people, defends the family and the country, and is not afraid of death is immeasurable on the battlefield. However, each soldier's original intention and idea of entering the army is different, so it is necessary to instill this belief in them, and transform their thinking so that their thinking can be changed. This law is called ideological and political education. ”

"Ideological and political education?" Li Shi obviously couldn't understand this term.

The so-called ideological and political education means that the rulers use certain ideological concepts, political views, and moral norms to exert purposeful, planned, and organized influence on the educated personnel, so that they can form an ideology that conforms to the requirements of the ruler's interests, and then this ideology guides their behavior and makes their behavior conform to the will of the ruler. ”

In order to make Li Shi acceptable, Wei Renshi deliberately changed the meaning of ideological and political education.

Li Shi's eyes froze, and a pair of eyes looked at Wei Renshi. Wei Renshi knew that although Li Shi didn't understand these terms, he understood their meaning.

"Ideological and political education is just a nice way to put it, but in fact, its real purpose is brainwashing. brainwash middle and lower-level officers, so that in their minds there is only loyalty to the monarch and the country, only fanatical trust and loyalty to the country and His Majesty, and they are willing to fight for it, dedicate themselves to it, and sacrifice for it. Then, through them, they managed and guided the ordinary soldiers at the bottom, and spread this kind of thinking. At the same time, you can also use the loyalty of these middle and lower-level officers to supervise changes in the army, so that Your Majesty can not only get a group of officers with excellent military quality, but also send countless eyeliners to the army! Wei Renshi knew what Li Shi was worried about, so he further bewitched: "Your Majesty, think about the rebellion of those feudal towns. If there are officers in the local army who have undergone ideological and political education, then the rebellion of the feudal town can be discovered in advance, and those officers who have received ideological and political education will directly report the envoys. And if all the soldiers in the local army have undergone ideological and political education, then those knots make him even if he wants to rebel, and those soldiers will arrest him and hand him over to Your Majesty! ”

After Li Shi listened, he thought for a while, and then said: "Although Wei Qing's idea is good, if it is implemented, I am afraid it will not work." Why are the feudal towns in various places so rampant, not relying on the heavy troops under them. And how would those soldiers accept that...... Ideological and political education? It is to let them accept it, but I am afraid that it is also to teach them to be true to themselves and work for themselves. ”

"Regarding this, Weichen has a way." Wei Renshi said.

"Oh?" Li Shi immediately asked, "But what is the law?" ”

"Dots lead to noodles." Wei Renshi said: "The imperial court can set up a name, for example, further study. There are countless famous generals in my dynasty, and if you open a school in Beijing, the professors in it are either bystanders, or these generals. He does not teach anything else, but only the art of using soldiers. Lower-ranking officers are allowed to be sent from all over the country to study. We can take the opportunity to carry out ideological and political education and brainwash them. Then, after he returned to the local army, he conducted ideological and political education in the local army for the ordinary soldiers below. ”

"The person chosen must be a person who is trusted by the envoys of various places, and with this ideological and political education, can he be loyal to the imperial court? How can this ideological and political education be so powerful? Li Shi shook his head and said.

"This is just the beginning. Although the Jiedu envoy now has his own army, the appointment of his generals still needs to be appointed by the imperial court. Wei Renshi said: "The imperial court can start from this aspect, and in the future, the appointment of middle and lower-level officers under the Jiedu envoy will mainly be those who have received ideological and political education. With such a gradual infiltration of the local army, coupled with the improvement of the combat ability of the Shence Army and the Sixteen Guards, the two-pronged approach, why worry about the injustice of the feudal town in the future? ”

Li Shi was obviously moved, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "This is also a train of thought, but I am still a little worried about the ideological and political education in Wei Qing's mouth. Although this ideological and political education can make the 300 waste soldiers have the idea of serving the country loyally, I don't know whether it will be effective for the generals under the feudal town. If you do it rashly, this method will not work well for it, and it will not be to startle the snake, but it will be noticed by the feudal town. ”

"Then Your Majesty means ......" Wei Renshi saw that Li Shi did not veto this method, guessing that he seemed to have other ideas.

Li Shi thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Du You has repeatedly asked to resign from the post of Huainan Jiedu Envoy, and after Du You entered the court, the Huainan Jiedu Envoy became vacant. I am ready to use Wang Yi, the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu, as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. Wang Ye has a righteous son, and now he is in the Huainan army, and he is very single-minded. Although Wang Yi is greedy, he is also a ruler, and he can be diligent, hard-working, and very capable, and he is very loyal to the court, and I can trust him. I will promote you to the rank of army, and transfer your sons under you, and appoint you a thousand men, and test them according to this law. If this ideological and political education can change the minds of all the sons and sons, it will be effective. If he really can't, Wang Ye will never be opposed. ”

Wei Renshi thought about it, and said in his heart that the methods of brainwashing are also divided into levels, even if ideological and political education is not good, aren't there other brainwashing methods that are even more inhumane?

Yes, it's worth a try!

So he nodded and replied, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister will do his best." ”

Li Shi nodded, and said, "There is one more thing, I have decided to start implementing the method of the palace market you have dedicated at the beginning of next month. ”

Wei Renshi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
