Chapter 684: The country and the nation, the war has started again
Zheng Zhi did not go to college orthodoxically, but he studied in a military school, which was also an indispensable part of Zheng Zhi's work in his last life.
Therefore, the martial arts academy already has a prototype of a university in later generations, and there will definitely be subdivisions in the future. At the very least, it will separate the maritime and technological aspects. This was the beginning of the various universities of the future.
University education, in fact, is to make knowledge universal and break the monopoly of knowledge by a certain class.
If one does not read, one cannot have true wisdom. This is especially evident in this era, which lacks the variety of expressions of culture in later generations, and therefore the variety of learning channels. It is especially important to understand the words in the book, which is the only true channel for the inheritance of wisdom.
Human wisdom is actually the experience of human beings for thousands of years, and it is impossible for a person to experience everything and gain all the experience in person. Words and books composed of words have become one of the most important carriers, and the more they accumulate, the more intelligent human beings will become when they are educated by words and books.
Human beings, in fact, are also extremely limited individuals. A peasant who can't read big words can't talk about a big vision, high intelligence, unique views, and superb wisdom. This phrase does not originate from the discrimination of superiority, but is a full interpretation of human limitations.
By extension, there is respect for professionalism. If a society wants to develop and prosper, it must have a very sincere respect for the profession. Therefore, there is no wisdom is relatively one-sided, and wisdom is also reflected in the profession, the illiterate farmer, can plant an acre of land and harvest, it is his profession, is his wisdom.
No matter what profession you are in, everyone should be respected, whether they are farmers, teachers, or soldiers, they should be treated with due respect and dignity, and they should not be judged by laymen. Even if a person can be a good official, it is also a manifestation of professionalism. It is not advisable for a half-informed person to arbitrarily judge the level of a professional person. (Here is also the keyboard warrior of later generations!) )
After the major, it is also necessary to talk about the administration, and the problem is more complicated. But at the end of the day, it's essentially the same problem.
In terms of governing the country, Zheng Zhi now knows that there are generally two models. One is nominal national participation, where a person is elected by everyone's vote, and this person is asked to form his administrative team, in the hope of selecting a professional elite to govern the country.
One is the competition model, in which the elites of the administrative profession within the country compete with each other, from the grassroots level to the top of the pyramid, and finally compete for an elite team to govern the country with this team.
It is difficult to answer the question of who is good and who is bad, and we can only analyze it in depth and look at the difference in models in a result-oriented way.
But one thing is undoubted, and that is professional administration, meritocracy.
In the final analysis, the law of governing the country is still the choice of elite talents. The way to govern the country is the same thing in ancient and modern times, that is, the people's livelihood and international interests.
Zheng Zhi was not a great man, let alone a prophet. Zheng Zhi is a human being in two lives, and the world he faces is actually the same in his bones, and the world is already the weak, and the most is to pay more attention to the high-sounding on the surface. Although there has been a lot of progress in people's livelihood, it is still the direction that everyone strives to pursue.
Obviously, Zheng Zhi can't be unrealistic and fantasize that he can solve all problems, and Zheng Zhi can't bring the cognition of transcending the two worlds, and he can't really build this country and nation into a perfect world.
What Zheng Zhizhi did was to emancipate some minds first, develop productivity first, and let the development of science and technology enter a normal track first.
To put it more broadly, it is to let the country and the nation get more benefits first.
No one can guarantee eternal peace and stability, and no one can keep eternity.
Zheng Zhi said that he wanted to fight a hundred years of war, not to conquer the whole world. Conquest is not always the real benefit, and conquest will also face governance problems. War is not just for conquest, but also for profit.
The benefits are nothing more than resources, the waterways that transport resources, and the key nodes on the waterways. There is a precedent for learning from this, the sun never sets on the British Empire, and for a long time, it did this very well. The decline of the empire on which the sun never sets, in fact, is a bit similar to the decline of the Jurchens, that is, the empire itself is concerned, but it is also a small state, with not many people and a small country.
China is indeed different, if China takes such a step, after success. The whole world is full of China's interests, and all the key nodes in the world are full of China's gateways and fortresses. This will be an important means for China to maintain its long-term prosperity.
Perhaps it is too blatant and does not conform to mainstream universal values. But under these universal values, in fact, these things themselves are these things, which have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
To be more naked, I don't want much land, and I don't want much population. But I want the good things of the land, and the fruits of the people. I am not responsible for your land and people, but I want your things.
This is the real rule in the face of the world and countless countries and nations. These rules, in the consciousness of Zheng Zhi and his two lives, are the correct means.
No matter what kind of political model, there is no escaping the truth. That is the difference between the rich and the poor, the poor country, everything is sad! If you use the world's resources to build a country, the country will naturally become rich.
Equality for all is actually only a vision of dignity. It is not universal equality, because as long as there are differences in feelings, people will never be equal. This is also a blatant statement.
Freedom, in the main sense, is also rich and poor. If you are poor, you are not qualified to talk about freedom, and the ancestors have a saying, and you can only think about it when you are warm. Under poverty, you can't even get out, and you have no freedom.
Only the rule of law and justice need to be constantly upheld and built. People can be unequal, but everyone's competition must be within the rules. Just like playing a game, there are high and low skills, which is due to everyone's limitations, but you can't cheat, and cheating is breaking the rules. This is the legal system and justice of society.
That's the big picture.
Just like Zheng Zhi doesn't think about how the country should go about it now, how his rule should be carried out. Zheng Zhi also believes that the future descendants of China will inevitably become smarter and wiser.
Zheng Zhi has been doing for decades in his life, and what he has to do is to build a foundation for the country to take off, to build a solid foundation. As long as the country is thriving and the people are getting richer, Zheng Zhi will not worry about the future.
The soldiers went into battle, opened the territory, and brought back more and more supplies with knives and guns. Let the soldiers get enough respect, and let the soldiers do what they should do, but also keep the courage of this nation from being lost. The new literati educate the people, increase the wisdom of the people, and increase the level of science and technology. Craftsmen create more sophisticated and advanced things. Farmers produce more food. For Zheng Zhi at this time, it was enough.
Zheng Zhi's plan for the future, at this time, war is undoubtedly at the forefront. A hundred years of war, keep fighting! In Zheng Zhi's heart, it should be almost enough.
The cannon is the foundation.
Zheng Zhi stood on the high platform, and the young sailors who had just come out of the Cangzhou port to enroll in the school were the foundation!
This group of people in the martial arts academy is the foundation.
"From this day onwards, the whole army will no longer bow down. When you meet Shangguan, stand upright and hold your head high. It's a salute! Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and shouted, this thought had been in his heart for a long time. The main thing is to hold your head high, that is, to hold your head high.
Shortly after the Qin and Han dynasties, before the Yuan dynasty. The ritual of kneeling was not popular in the first place, and it was only necessary in real sacrifices and some ceremonies. Even kneeling down on one knee in the army is not a rule. Now Zheng Zhizhi's words have to abolish all these things, even if they want to show respect, they must not bow down.
It is also the law that really stipulates military etiquette, so that there is a real regulation of military etiquette. There is no need to bow down, nor is it a gift to raise hands in the Hereafter. Raising your head high and standing tall is to express the pride and dignity in the heart of every soldier. Kneel when you see people, it is actually the law of slaves, starting from the Mengyuan, the Ming Dynasty inherited a little, and the Qing Dynasty was the worst. Not advisable!
As soon as Zheng Zhi's words came out, everyone under the stage looked at each other with a puzzled look.
Zheng Zhi looked left and right, and said: "Record it, make another action, draw a picture as evidence, and salute according to a certain action in the future." ”
Most of the people on the left and right are teaching in the martial arts school. Some people teach full-time, such as text, drawing. Some of them were temporarily transferred, and most of the people who were transferred were also veterans who had made a lot of contributions in the army.
A few professors of writing and drawing hurriedly took paper and pens and waited for Zheng Zhi's movements.
Zheng Zhi was dressed in armor, standing on the podium, first standing ordinarily, and suddenly shouting: "Shangguan has arrived!"
Then Zheng Zhimeng stood upright and raised his head high. There was a "pop" sound, and a crisp sound was made.
Everyone's eyes were on Zheng Zhi, and many people learned from him and tried it. The people beside him also hurriedly drew according to Zheng Zhi's appearance at this time, how to hold his chest high, how to raise his head high.
Zheng Zhi held for a moment, then relaxed, and said: "This method should be spread throughout the whole army, and in every squad, there must be a picture of military salute, and everyone must learn it. And then there are those who bow down, and they will be beaten ten times! This is military law, and it should also be supplemented by military law regulations. ”
The people on the left and right nodded again and again. Now that His Royal Highness King Yan is saying this, no one dares to disobey him. But it is also acceptable, and the salute of kneeling in this Great Song Dynasty is just to show the incomparable reverence in my heart. His Royal Highness King Yan didn't need others to bow down, so no one dared to say anything.
The literati are in charge, and the military men are holding their heads high. It is enough to bow in this way.
Coming out of the martial arts school again, there was a government official in the government at the entrance of the road carrying the more than 300 corpses.
The Hejian Mansion was full of panic, and the sentences were even more pale. His Royal Highness King Yan was intercepted and killed more than ten miles outside the city, and the government was naturally responsible, and the Hejian Mansion had long forbidden people with swords to go out, but it was more than 300 people, each holding a sharp blade, the mistakes in the public security, and the officials in the government, which one was not trembling.
Before Zheng Zhi returned to the city, Wu Yong had already run to the palace to lose his temper, and then rushed out of the city. At this entrance, I met Zheng Zhi.
Wu Yong hurriedly wanted to come up to greet him, but it was Zheng Zhi who waved his hand first and said, "Go back to the city first, the heavy things are troublesome and the pedants are in charge, and we will start early tomorrow morning." ”
Wu nodded when he heard this, and replied yes. The horse followed behind Zheng Zhi. Someone also sent a picture, which is the method of painting military salutes, and the army will naturally promote it, and it is very suitable for this kind of thing to be handed over to Wu Yong.
Qinzhou in the northwest, Zhe Keqiu has already arrived at Dingbian Village, but this time he came to Dingbian Village, Zhe Keqiu came quietly, and did not make a big fanfare.
Meng Lang was indignant and said that Liu Zhengjun of the Liu family outside the city had killed people, but he just nodded when he heard it, with a contemplative face.
Meng Lang said again: "Xianggong, this matter will happen sooner or later, and now Jingzhao Mansion is also in the hands of Xianggong, it can't be delayed any longer, since there is going to be a war, the first strike is strong, take the lead, so as not to be passive." ”
Meng Lang was more restrained in front of his head, that is, he had not really ordered a war, although the two sides were tense, but they did not really fight.
Thinking that Liu Zhengyan has not really ordered the war, the reason is not that Liu Zhengyan can bear such hatred, maybe he is waiting for Zheng Zhi's reply, or directly waiting for Zheng Zhi to come to the northwest.
There was still a tangle on his face, and he replied: "It's not difficult to start a war, but after this war, if you can't quickly eliminate Liu Zhengyan, and wait for Zheng Zhi to come out empty, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is difficult... ”
When Meng Lang heard this, he said again: "Xianggong, this matter should be sooner rather than later, since I have made a move with that Liu Zhengyan." It's just that he can't turn back, and now he has to strike first, so that Liu Zhengyan was caught off guard, and Liu Zhengyan sent troops around, but it was also for this battle. Since this battle cannot be avoided, how can we still hesitate like this. The more Zheng Zhi comes, the more he must start a war early, and before Zheng Zhi arrives, integrate the forces of the entire Northwest, so that Zheng Zhifang will vote against the prime minister and dare not take it arbitrarily. Isn't this exactly what Xianggong wants? ”
It is naturally difficult to ask for it, and the more intelligent a person is, the more he will think about it. Things didn't work out, and I started to think about this way back.
Meng Lang's words are also straightforward. At this point, where is there any way back? Even if it is a compromise and no war, then Liu Zhengyan will send troops everywhere, and it will be a situation where war will be started. Although Pingxia is a border fortress, the population is not large, and the production is poor. It is far inferior to Qinzhou, where Qin Feng ruled. At this point, even Weizhou and Yan'an are not as good as Qinzhou.
Therefore, in terms of strength, the Liu family is naturally inferior to the Qinzhou family. But the Liu family is different now, not to mention Weizhou and Yan'an Mansion, even the soldiers of Xihe Lanhuang can be mobilized. Liu Zhengyan has these soldiers in hand, how can he let go of his revenge and not take revenge. If it's true, there's no way to compromise it.
Hearing this, Zhe Keqiu stood up, sighed, was firm a few times, and said: "Let's fight, in the early morning of tomorrow, when the sky is bright, the cavalry will go out of the city, and the foot soldiers will follow in formation." Take this Liu Zhengjun in your hand first. ”
In the words of the fold, he is full of confidence. The first strike is strong, and it is also a sneak attack. That Liu Zhengjun has been outside Dingbian Village for so many days, scolding and scolding countless times, and people have also killed him. But all the people in this village swallowed their anger. A sudden sneak attack is also the art of war.
For fighting, he is still familiar with fighting, and he is not a mediocre person. These Northwest Companies, regardless of their character, are really a lot of good generals.
Meng Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "The last general will go and prepare." ”
It was also Meng Lang who listened to the scolding every day during this time, and the eighteen generations of his ancestors were scolded all over again, that is, Liu Zhengyan wanted to shoot himself in front of him. The bird spirit in it is also unbearable. What I am waiting for is the phrase of war.
