Chapter 274: Surprising Victory

。 But this thing is used for lectures, and it works very well. Westerners only began to promote this thing in modern times, and Wu Dong began to promote this thing in military schools now.

Wu Dong stood there and said, "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Our ancestor Sun Wu has already told us about the importance of the military, which is why we established a military academy. And for an army, the most important thing is the officers. A good officer can defeat the strong with the weak, while a mediocre officer can bury a strong army. There are countless examples of this in history, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cāo carried hundreds of thousands of troops, known as a million army, while Liu Bei and Sun Quan's troops were less than 100,000, but in the end Cao Cāo was defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan and lost the opportunity to dominate the world, which was the famous Battle of Chibi. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the former Qin Fujian invaded the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian had many elite soldiers, and when he passed by the Yangtze River, he said to his subordinates, we throw the whip down the Yangtze River, so that the Yangtze River can be cut off, how many soldiers and horses should there be? However, Fu Jian, who had many soldiers, was finally defeated by the weak Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was the famous battle of Weishui in history. ”

The students who listened to the lecture below nodded one after another, this time because it was Wu Dong who gave the lecture, and all the members of the Military Commission, including Hua Rong, also listened below. Wu Dong's lecture method is quite novel, which is very different from the Confucian style of teaching in this era, and everyone listens to it with relish.

"Officers are so important, so this military school must be run. Our military academy should also be the first real military academy in history, and the first time to formally train military talents. Wu Dong said with a smile.

The people listening to the lecture below couldn't help laughing, and Wu Yong said: "Chairman, this is all your whimsical ideas, which are better than the ancients." ”

Wu Dong glanced at Wu Yong and said, "Don't talk casually in class, if you want to speak, please raise your hand first, and then the teacher will point to who is speaking." You know? ”

Wu Dong's words were obviously Wu Yong, Wu Yong slapped the horse's hooves this time, which was very embarrassing, and Hua Rong and the others around him wanted to laugh but didn't laugh.

Wu Dong said: "Actually, the proposal of the military academy was not put forward by me, but by the head of the women's column. ”

Hearing that it was actually a person from the women's column who proposed a military school, everyone was extremely surprised. Originally, in the Battle of Jeju this time, the women's column actually defeated the main force of Goryeo, which had already surprised everyone in the army, and now when I heard about it, I immediately became curious about Hu Sanniang, and I wanted to see this person.

Wu Dong said: "Today is the first lesson, the first thing I want to talk about is what we are fighting for? Tell me, what are we fighting for? ”

The students below raised their hands one after another, and Wu Dong looked at the few strangers behind him, pointed to one of them, and said, "You can talk about it." ”

This person is actually Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Biao stood up and said loudly: "Chairman, we are fighting for the future of China and the future of our Han people!" ”

During this period, the army was propagandizing every day, and even a soldier from a landlord family like Zhu Biao had completely changed his thinking.

Wu Dong nodded and said, "That's a good point!" You must firmly remember that we are fighting for the future of China and the future of the nation! We are not fighting for personal glory or wealth, or for the sake of a certain person or a court. ”

"What to fight for" is a crucial question and the first one that needs to be addressed. In ancient armies, when it was time for war to start, soldiers would be urgently paid military salaries or promised high-ranking officials to boost morale. But whether it is money or power, it can only temporarily boost morale. If we want to boost morale for a long time, we need a longer-term goal, and we need to let everyone in the army continue to strive for this goal, whether in wartime or peacetime training, we must keep this goal firmly in mind. And Wu Dong's goal for this army is to fight for China and the nation.

"With the question of what to fight for, the next thing we have to do is to understand how to fight. Regarding how to fight, the old ancestor Sun Wu also once said a sentence, which is enough to summarize, 'Soldiers, treacherous ways, so they can show what they can't, use it and show it without it, near and show it far, far away and show it near.' Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave, attack its unpreparedness, surprise. To describe it in one word, it is 'surprising to win', and the key is the word 'strange'. How do you do that? Hua Rong, you can tell everyone about it. Wu Dong said.

Please collect, thank you very much.

The plot of Song Jiang is coming......

Chapter 66 Hu Sanniang's name

"In order to achieve a surprise victory, the most important thing is to understand the enemy's combat intentions, understand the enemy's marching route, and then formulate a corresponding combat plan according to the enemy's combat intentions and marching routes." Hua Rong Road.

Hua Rong has painstakingly studied the art of war over the years, and naturally has his own views on "winning by surprise", and his views are basically the same as Wu Dong's.

Wu Dong nodded and said: "So in other words, investigation and reconnaissance are very important, in peacetime, we need to understand the information of the enemy's generals, know the enemy's generals' xìng style, military habits, family members, etc., and even know what the relationship between the enemy's generals is, whether there are any contradictions between each other, etc." During the battle, a large number of scouts should be sent to understand the enemy's marching route, and then make a response to xìng...... These are the reasons why I set up the Intelligence Division and send a large number of experts to the Intelligence Division. ”

At present, the intelligence department is a very important unit in the Goryeo theater, Zhu Gui is the director of the intelligence department, and the twelve Shaolin monks are all in the intelligence department, and a large amount of money is distributed to the investigation department every year for the expenses of the intelligence department. There were 1,000 people under the intelligence department, and in addition to the personnel of Yangsan itself, there were also a large number of Goryeo employees, which was definitely the largest in this era.

In the past, some officers did not think that Wu Dong attached so much importance to the Intelligence Department, but now Wu Dong pointed out to the officers the importance of the Intelligence Department and the reason why it attaches so much importance to the Intelligence Department.

"Winning by surprise is just a brief statement, in addition to winning by surprise, there are many important rules for using troops." Wu Dong Road.

Next, Wu Dong began to explain in detail, and what he talked about were some modern military ideas that could be used in the era of cold weapons.

"We should not fight unprepared battles, we should not fight uncertain battles, we should strive to be prepared for each battle, and strive to have the certainty of victory in the comparison of the conditions of the enemy and ourselves......

"Be ready for war at all times, be ready for war at all times......

"Fight the scattered and isolated enemy first, and then the concentrated and powerful enemy...... That is to say, we have to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them first. You have to hit the hard ones first, and if you can't beat them, the soft ones will become hard. The soft ones are hit first, the soft ones are eliminated, and the hard ones become the soft ones. Wu Dong said.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, but it also felt very reasonable, it was like this. If you fight the weak ones first, after the fight, the morale of the enemy will definitely be greatly affected, and the originally stronger ones will become weaker as a result. And if you can't beat the hard one, the weak enemy will also be encouraged, and even from weak to strong.

"For troops fighting independently, whether or not a commander can act decisively and flexibly to control the enemy in light of the battlefield tasks and battlefield conditions can often play a decisive role in determining the battle situation. The battlefield is ever-changing, and many major problems require an immersive commander of the unit to make accurate judgments, and it is necessary to improvise and deal with them decisively. In order to be able to do this, the first is to learn more about the art of war in peacetime, and the second is to sharpen in actual combat. In this Jeju Campaign, Hu Sanniang, the commander of the women's column, did a good job and really applied the art of war to practice. Wu Dong said again.

After Wu Dong said this, he looked down, and sure enough, he saw that Hu Sanniang was also there, Hu Sanniang's face was slightly red, and he couldn't help lowering his head, Wu Dong was secretly funny in his heart.

"What I just talked about is how to deal with independent combat units, and for the concentrated operations of large corps, it is necessary to achieve a high degree of unity in command, and it is necessary to have close unity within the body. In order to win the war, some troops even need to make sacrifices on their own initiative. Only in this way can we act in unison and act in harmony. If we fight the enemy with an iron fist of unity, we will be able to win even if the enemy outnumbered us in strength and the quality of the enemy's men outnumbered us. Wu Dong said.

After Wu Dong said this, Hua Rong and the others all fell into deep thought, and at the same time they all nodded, feeling that Wu Dong's words contained the art of war, which was very important for large-scale battles in the future.

"As an officer, as a general, we must ask ourselves every day, what if there is an enemy on my front, what if there is an enemy on my side? If the enemy outnumbered us, we should think about how to use the terrain, the weather, and the strategy to win, and so on, so that we would not be overwhelmed on the battlefield. Wu Dong said.

The generals below nodded one after another, they only knew how to train soldiers before, although they occasionally learned the art of war, but they rarely took the initiative to think about problems like this, so sometimes they didn't know what to do when they arrived on the battlefield. Wu Dong's speech was very simple and easy to understand, but it made them suddenly enlightened.

Wu Dong spoke for an hour, talking about some military ideas and theories, and then Hua Rong gave a lecture, Hua Rong talked about his experience in using troops twice, as well as his thoughts at that time, why he decided to use troops like that at that time, and so on.

After Hua Rong finished speaking, Yang Zhi began to lecture. Yang Zhi is the descendant of the Yang generals, and the Yang generals are famous in the Great Song Dynasty, so Yang Zhi also has a high prestige in the army. Yang Zhi is to tell everyone some of the combat tips and art of war left by the predecessors of the Yang family.

The trio talked for the morning, and then ordered the students to leave.

Now they only attend classes for half a day a day, and in the afternoon these "students" return to their respective units to continue training soldiers. It's okay to go to class, but you can't get students out of the military.

"Chairman, you are really a god, and the things I talked about today have benefited me a lot." After class, Hua Rong came to Wu Dong's side and said sincerely.

"I'm just talking on paper, how to really lead the troops, I'm far inferior to you. I hope that after you learn these things, you will use them on the battlefield and continue to build meritorious deeds for Liangshan. Wu Dong said with a smile, these are the military ideas of later generations, and he is just repeating them.

"It's nature." Hua Rong also laughed.

In the following month, the military academy gave lectures to these officers every day, and these officers made rapid progress, at least in theory, they have far surpassed ordinary officers and generals, and when they come to the battlefield in the future, if they can apply these theories to practice, they will be regarded as truly grown.

During this period, Hu Sanniang also gave a few lectures, she talked about how she used troops in the Jeju War, how to adapt to emergencies and so on.

When Hu Sanniang was lecturing, Wu Dong always listened to the lecture below, and every time Wu Dong found that Hu Sanniang didn't dare to look at him, and when he stared at Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang's face always turned red.

"This eldest lady, can't she really like me?" Wu Dong couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

It's been more than nine months, the weather is getting colder, and late at night, in the city lord's mansion, Wu Dong and Master Li are together. Wu Dong is studying the content of tomorrow's lecture, and the knowledge of the future generations is too much and too cumbersome, and it is necessary to summarize the really useful things before he can teach those officers.

Master Li sat aside to help Wu Dong, who was now Wu Dong's secretary.

Seeing that everything was about to be finished, Master Li said, "Husband, Miss Hu really likes you...... But after knowing your identity, she is a little afraid to see you. ”

During this time, Master Li and Hu Sanniang often corresponded, and the two had long been sisters. With Master Li's wisdom and wisdom, it was naturally easy to figure out Hu Sanniang's opinion of Wu Dong. Moreover, Master Li and Sister-in-law Gu also chatted for a while, and investigated the reason why Hu Sanniang ran away from home.

"Oh? Is this true? Wu Dong said casually, and he didn't take it too seriously.

Hu Sanniang is good, but in Wu Dong's opinion, she is still a girl who has not grown up. In this era, sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls can get married, but Wu Dong is deeply influenced by the concept of later generations and disagrees with this.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, Master Li actually invited Hu Sanniang to the City Lord's Mansion and brought him to Wu Dong.

When he saw Hu Sanniang, Wu Dong was stunned for a moment. Hu Sanniang was flushed, and said softly: "Chairman." ”

"Don't call me Chairman...... Why do I feel so awkward when you call me that? Wu Dong smiled bitterly.

"What's that calling you?" Hu Sanniang said.

"Why don't you just call me Brother Wu." Wu Dong Road.

"That's good, Brother Wu." Hu Sanniang said a little shyly.

Master Li walked out at this time, saying that he was serving tea to the two of them, and Wu Dong sat there, a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

He and Hu Sanniang are not familiar at all, but they have only met a few times in Hujiazhuang, and at that time, because Hu Sanniang was ruthless, he "taught" Hu Sanniang, and other than that, he didn't say a few words.

It's so uncomfortable, Hu Sanniang doesn't speak, Wu Dong doesn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, Wu Dong said: "Sanniang, is your name called Sanniang?" ”

It is said that "Sanniang" is not a name at all, but just a title, indicating that she is the third child of the Hu family, and there are two older brothers on it. This title is like "Sister-in-law Gu", "Aunt Li", "Uncle Liu" and so on, Hu Sanniang's real name is definitely not this.

Hu Sanniang was acting strangely, her face first turned red, and then she turned her head to look into the distance, not daring to look directly at Wu Dong.

For a long time, Wu Dong was a little impatient to wait, and thought that he wouldn't say anything if he didn't want to say it, but at this time, Hu Sanniang suddenly said: "My name is Hu Yu." ”

Wu Dong nodded and said, "It turned out to be Hu Yu...... Good name. ”

At this moment, Hu Sanniang was a little restless, and even a little anxious, pulling the placket of her clothes with both hands, looking at a loss. Wu Dong was extremely surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with Hu Sanniang.

He didn't know that the names of ancient women were deeply hidden, and they could not be told to others. Generally, you can only tell when you get married and your husband makes a gift of "asking for your name". If a man asks a woman's name, it is very rude, and even flirtatious. Or it can be said that a man is interested in a woman, privately "asks for a name", and then marries in the future.

Like Hu Sanniang, Gu Sister-in-law, Sun Erniang, etc. in the Water Margin, it is not that they have no names, but as women, in that era, the names were generally only known to close relatives, and the rest of the people could not be told casually.

How can Wu Dong understand this truth? His two current wives, Pan Jinlian was originally just a maid of a large family, "Jinlian" is a nickname obtained by the master, casually called, naturally there is no secret, and Master Li was originally born in a Qinglou, very famous, and the word "teacher" is also widely known. Hu Sanniang's family is a standard daughter, and her natural name is hidden, and she can't tell others at will.

Now that Wu Dong asked, Hu Sanniang said, the significance is not trivial.

Chapter 67: Whether to Send Troops (Plus Update)

Master Li said that he was serving tea to the two of them, but he was actually eavesdropping outside. Hearing that Wu Dong actually asked Hu Sanniang's name, and Hu Sanniang actually said it, Master Li couldn't help but be stunned
