Chapter 362: Here (First Update)

In this twilight of winter, the sky is snowing heavily, and now it is time, but the sky is still gray, and the snow is falling like a flying flotsam, and when I look around, I find that the wild plum blossoms on this mountain range grow so beautifully, and seem to be more beautiful than the plum blossoms in the garden. Of course www.biquge.info you can't see such a scenery in the garden.

A gust of cold wind blew towards her, the biting cold wind, made Rong Minghui, who is a Cantonese subconsciously, shrunk her body, as a Cantonese person, she is not used to the cold of the north, although this is not the real sense of the north, but the biting cold wind, still makes her feel the cold of winter.

Fortunately, she also added a sable leather jacket given to her by her husband in her clothes, otherwise she might be so cold that she couldn't even move her hands and feet, but even so, she still shrank her head as much as possible, and her pretty face was even more cold and red.

Looking at her husband standing next to the plum tree, he seemed to be admiring the plum trees there, but more like he was contemplating.

"Why are we here?"

Standing on the mountain, Rong Minghui asked a little puzzled. I don't have to stay in the house on such a cold day. Instead, when you come to this place, you have to stand on the top of the mountain, isn't this looking for sin? Now she even had the urge to put her hand in her husband's arms, preferably with the whole body in his arms, so that he could shield herself from the wind.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt a burning sensation in her cheeks, but because her face was so red from the cold, no one else could notice it. It's a thought, just think about it.

"Because I'm going to build an ancestral hall here!"

Zhu Yifeng's tone was extremely calm, and his fingers were on this mountain that was not too big.

"I'm going to build a martyr's shrine here to bury my soldiers!"

"Martyrs' Shrine?"

Rong Minghui's eyes were full of incomprehension.

"That's right! It is the establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine! ”

He could feel the incomprehension in his wife's gaze, and Zhu Yifeng's gaze into the distance became deep. The idea of establishing a martyr's shrine has been in his mind for the past few months, and what he wants to build is not just a martyr's shrine, but hopes to recast something through the martyr's shrine, and even forge the martial spirit of the Chinese.

"Many people say that the righteous army relied on generous salaries to raise soldiers, so that today's righteous army existed,!"

Raise soldiers with generous salaries!

In fact, the reason why the fighting power of the rebel army is strong and the reason why its training is strict is precisely based on the generous military salary.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

This sentence has never been false, for the people of this era, they do not know what is the honor of a soldier, nor what is a nation. What can drive them to work hard, harsh military discipline is supplemented by generous salaries. With both, the troops naturally won all battles, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this was the fundamental reason for the strong combat effectiveness of the rebel army.

"But why is it that the Qing army is also well paid, but it can't raise soldiers?"

This question is not so much about asking about his wife, but rather because he is laughing at the Tongzhi Emperor in the north, and laughing at those who think that they can train elite soldiers with a good salary.

"That's because in essence our army is completely different from the Qing army, although our soldiers are also recruited by generous salaries, we do not use generous salaries to maintain combat effectiveness."

Standing under the plum tree and looking at the plum blossoms, Zhu Yifeng's voice was very low. There is a fundamental difference between relying on generous salaries to recruit soldiers and relying on generous salaries to maintain combat effectiveness, and in fact this is the difference between ancient armies and modern armies.

It can be said that for hundreds of years, China's famous ministers and famous generals have never been clear, and the difference between the two is precisely because of this, the generous salary and recruitment of soldiers have never brought real elite soldiers to China.

"Whether it is the Qing army or regimental training, its combat effectiveness is maintained entirely on the reward of silver, just like Zeng Guofan's training in Jiangxi, and he won 20 taels of silver for each long-haired thief, how much silver was rewarded for captured war horses, how much was rewarded for captured gunpowder, and there were silver rewards for lead, artillery, and muskets...... Is a buildable army an elite division? No, it's a soldier who fights if there is silver, and retreats if there is no silver! Is this army combative? Their combat power is built entirely on silver! Their so-called bravery is very brave, but it is only a momentary bravery, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all. ”

Shaking his head and sighing at the absurdity of the ancients' army, Zhu Yifeng sighed while taking a gentle step.

On the contrary, we use military discipline in the barracks to restrain and discipline them, so that they can get used to military discipline, get used to strict management, and get used to the class in the army, and step by step cause them to fear military discipline more than death, of course, the more important key is that they are accustomed to obedience, and the duty of a soldier is to obey, and our soldiers will always only say one word "yes" from the first day they enter the camp. ”

The core of a modernized army is discipline, discipline is the core of all combat effectiveness, discipline creates unity, and unity creates combat effectiveness. Without discipline, there is no combat effectiveness. Soldiers are accustomed to the constraints of discipline and obedience, and obedience becomes their instinct, and they do not question military orders, but habitually obey.

It is precisely because they can only say "yes" that they never question the orders of their commanders on the battlefield, and once the orders of the commanders are given, they will do their best to complete the task 100%. This ......"

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and Zhu Yifeng thought of an article he had read, in which it was mentioned that it was not until the Northern Expedition that the Chinese army knew what the soul of the army was - discipline and obedience, not a reward for silver, nor was it preaching. The Taiping army uses heaven to deceive people's hearts every day, but how can it improve their combat effectiveness? Discipline and obedience have always been the foundation of the army's combat effectiveness.

"It's habit, it's instinct! Help them take everything as a habit and as a capability, then the combat effectiveness of this army will naturally come out, develop a habit in 15 days, and practice instinct in a year, but ......"

Looking back at his wife, who was a little unclear, Zhu Yifeng shook his head and sighed.

"It's not enough! An army cannot be just a habit, just instinct. With these two items alone, they will soon fall. ”

This is precisely the dilemma of military training in modern China; when the troops were first established, they seemed to be strong and strong, but their combat effectiveness would decline rapidly in a few years or more than a decade. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of answers. But there is one word in almost every answer - "honor"!

To be precise, it is the sense of honor of soldiers, which is precisely what the modern Chinese army lacks. But how to establish a sense of honor among soldiers? There are undoubtedly such and such answers.

"Fallen?"

Although she didn't know anything about military affairs, Rong Minghui said immediately after thinking for a while.

"Isn't it like the Manchus? When the Eight Banners entered the customs, they were known as "invincible" but it was only a few decades, and the Eight Banners soldiers were rotten and unusable, and when they reached the Ping San Domain, the Manchu Qing had to rely on the Han green camp, and now the green camp was unusable, so all over the country practiced the ...... of bravery."

If the reason why she lost her temper in front of Rong Minghui at the beginning was entirely because of her star face that made many otaku unable to sleep at night, then now Zhu Yifeng prefers her talent, to some extent, maybe she is her own woman, after all, Lingyun is "receiving".

"That's right, that's it! The reason why their places are so rotten and unusable is simply that they don't have any sense of military honor in them! ”

The word "sense of honor" seems very vague, but in fact, most of the time, it is the sense of honor of the soldiers, such as the group and the brothers, that supports the soldiers to fight and sacrifice.

Honor is not an empty truth, not a word between the lips opening and closing, but instilled and cultivated through various ways, and finally penetrates into the soul of every soldier and penetrates into the simplest emotion.

But how to indoctrination? How to cultivate?

"In order to be able to recruit soldiers with good enough quality, we have taken a lot of measures to give preferential treatment to soldiers and improve the status of soldiers, so as to attract children from good families to enter the army. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to serve soldiers, and in short, the status of soldiers has now been improved. ”

All in order to change the bad impression of the army among the public. Although these measures were limited, they still played a certain role in improving the image of the rebel army, and the fact that the officers and soldiers were also economically advantageous, also played a certain role in changing people's perception of the army. At least in terms of exemption from errands, they can get a few dollars a year in return by selling the places exempted from errands, and this kind of treatment beyond talent has a very positive effect on the improvement of soldiers' status in the countryside.

"The treatment and status of soldiers are improving, but what about their sense of honor? Do they have the honor of being a military man? ”

After making this question again, Zhu Yifeng looked at the plum tree in front of him that was at least several decades old, looked at the plum blossom that was cold and snowy, and looked back at Rong Minghui and said.

"I don't know, but I think I know what to give them to inspire a sense of pride!"

In Rong Minghui's surprise, Zhu Yifeng looked at the open space at the top of the mountain behind him and said in a calm tone.

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? ”

When her husband was reciting this Li He's poem, Rong Minghui read the "Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily", and then she suddenly looked at Zhu Yifeng and said.

"This Martyrs' Shrine is the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right! But it's not the same. ”

Nodding, Zhu Yifeng pointed to the flat top of the mountain in front of him and said.

"I'm going to build a magnificent palace here, and it's not just the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion who are enshrined in the palace. There are only 24 heroes who followed the Li family father and son to create the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Army were not heroes of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Not really!

No one in China can remember those little people, people can only remember those famous ministers and famous generals, who can remember those obscure soldiers? What did the exploits of those famous generals use to pile up? Precisely with the sacrifice of those little people!

"One will make a thousand bones dry! If there were no sacrifices of those ordinary soldiers, how could there be the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? If there were no soldiers of the rebel army, I am afraid that the husband would still be only ......"

Just an ordinary businessman! Just an ordinary person!

"So I want to build a martyr's shrine here to worship the fallen soldiers of our righteous army, and in the future our soldiers can be buried here, and this will be the place where the souls of heroes return."

Yes, those soldiers need a place to return to, and they deserve to be worshipped, to be commemorated by a nation and a country. And for ordinary soldiers, this is their honor.

"Not only those soldiers who died on the battlefield, but in the future, every soldier who has served the country will have the right to a cemetery here, which is an honor they should and must enjoy, whether it is a general or a marshal. All those who are here are equal, because the heroic soul does not distinguish between the dignity and inferiority of status! ”

The reason why this point is deliberately emphasized is because the order in a highest-level cemetery is sorted according to the rank before death, the dead are divided into three, six, nine and so on like the living, if the spouse is not of enough rank, the ashes cannot be put together with the husband's, and the only way to be together with the wife and children forever is to put a family photo.

Thinking of the kind of "equality" where people's life and death are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, Zhu Yifeng's lips raised slightly, and his tone became serious and serious.

"In the future, I will be buried here, with my soldiers!"

What are they fighting for?

What is the honor of a military man?

It takes time to cultivate, it takes time to indoctrinate it, and in the future, it will become an honorable burial place for China and soldiers.

Looking at her husband with a serious expression, Rong Minghui knew that he was not joking. Doesn't he pay attention to Feng Shui?

"If that's the case, I don't know if the concubine will be blessed to accompany her husband at that time!"

seems to be a casual sentence, but in fact it contains other meanings, in the face of Rong Gouhui's question, Zhu Yifeng did not answer directly.

"You are not only burying the soldiers themselves, but also their wives and children buried under the tombstones, and you will respect their wishes."

Smart as Rong Minghui He didn't know that Xianggong was dodging, she didn't continue to ask this question, but standing on this lonely mountain, a burst of curiosity suddenly surged in her heart - why did she choose here? This is not Wuchang, and politics is not a big city, at least there is no prefecture or county within a radius of dozens of miles.

"Why this?"

"Well, this matter should be kept secret for the time being......"

Faced with his wife's question, Zhu Yifeng pondered for a moment before saying.

"Because here will be our capital in the future!"
