Section 101 Meetings (4)
For those who have lived on the grassland, being alive is the greatest happiness, and they are the strong ones who can freely imagine and recall the past.
Therefore, the previous combat experience is the happiness of everyone in the Tang Camp in the past, whether it is for Du Ne, who is an old man, or Cheng Shouru, who was just a young man back then. The battle of twenty years ago laid the foundation for the peaceful life of the descendants of the former Artisan Battalion in Sylvan, and it was their glory, especially for the former civilians, who could reminisce for the rest of their lives by toppling the enemy with a hammer for striking iron and a rolling pin for making bread.
didn't disturb this emotion, and when the voices of the crowd began to subside a little, Lao Luo continued: "Of course, we are very rich in equipment right now, and if there is a battle that requires civilians to protect themselves, we will not let people kill the enemy with only hammers and rolling pins...... We have a lot of spears and scimitars, and we can even equip most civilians with battle armor...... However, there is a question, who can guarantee that civilians holding knives will not hurt themselves or their own people next to them? ”
A new question was added, and except for the soldiers present, the rest were a little dumbfounded. That's right, although some people may have a little bit of courage, but not everyone can really slash and kill the enemy face-to-face, just like many people who carried guns as soldiers in later generations, but how many dared to cut off people's heads with cold weapons?
Lao Luo took a big circle to return the topic to the original way, and everyone understood the need for training at once. Yes, can a hand that is accustomed to hammering iron hold a long knife steadily? Can you wield a spear?
This meeting is not like a meeting here, there is no longer any doubt, there is only one best way, and no matter how much rhetoric there is, it can only become nonsense, and even the Zhang family, who wants to cause some trouble for Lao Luo, has nothing to say.
Although it was trivial to decide the matter of national training and how to draw up training plans for different groups, Lao Luo, who decided that the details determine success or failure, still read out the training standards of each part in front of everyone present. For example, strong craftsmen can control the operation of the van at the right time, men and women who can shoot arrows must know how to gather fire and shoot, and even women and sick people in average physical condition must know how to use the tools at hand, such as the body of the cart as a cover and a rope to set a lasso......
The scattered details did not disgust everyone in Lao Luo's words, but many of the participants were dumbfounded, and they realized that in fact, as long as they did not panic, they could defeat the enemy who looked strong and fierce.
This is completely a matter of combat consciousness, Lao Luo's consciousness of not being limited to conventional ideas and using any object at hand to counterattack the enemy is already his instinct. In this era, war is a kind of science, a knowledge that belongs to the ruler or the general, whether it is the artisan battalion that has begun to lose the inheritance or the Han people who have gathered halfway, they are not the inheritors of the knowledge of war.
So the comparison between the two is really like a world of difference.
In later generations, many people said that the deposition of Confucianism was the beginning of the imprisonment of Eastern thought, and that Confucianism was the sinner of history, and so on. But after all, Confucianism is only a doctrine, and it is by no means a single Confucianism that can do it, but the joint efforts of the interest circle formed by the emperor, the aristocracy and the gate valve, and these rulers who have mastered the knowledge of different systems are the culprits.
In fact, this is true not only in the East, but also in the Western world. After the core ruling forces in the West outside the Christian Church, the rulers of the aristocracy, large and small, who were united with them, also actively or passively imprisoned their thoughts and knowledge, and used religion and violence to maintain their rule.
Well, that's a bit far. It's hard to say whether Lao Luo's method of spreading combat skills to everyone is good for the time being, but at least it can make civilians no longer lambs without offensive power, and put horned knives on goats, so goats can also become a type of army that rushes to kill.
Everyone who had reached a consensus was in high spirits, eager to start the winter training at once, and then give the ill-intentioned Turkmen and Qarluqs a taste of it on the way.
At this point, Lao Luo's main purpose of convening this meeting has been fully achieved. He didn't want the civilians and craftsmen who made up the largest number of people in his ranks to become brave soldiers, as long as a third of them could wield long knives, and the other third would not panic on the spot, and the rest might be panicked, but they could no longer affect the overall situation.
To put it bluntly, his purpose is to treat the cavalry school as an elite mobile unit, the garrison battalion will develop into regular soldiers, and the civilians will become militia, not expecting the militia to defeat the enemy, but it will be able to protect itself in low-intensity battles.
To put it mildly, such a team where all the people are soldiers can go to the world.
By the end of the meeting, it was almost dusk, but it was snowy outside, and it was not yet dark.
The crowd dispersed freely, but Dunne, Ligne, and Dou Mo remained.
"San Lang is really generous, and only a man like San Lang dares to do such a thing!" Doune was still praising Robert's plans for war.
"Yes, when Siniang and San Lang returned to Sylvan together, I thought that Siniang met a brave warrior in Daqin (Rome...... I really didn't expect it, but what it brought was the hope of my Tang descent to return home! Li Nie is also full of relief and appreciation, with the process of eastward travel, Li Ji and Li Siniang's reputation in the team has also become very subtle, and Li Nie, who was just stuffy in the workshop in the past, has also become more and more powerful.
"Du Lao and Shi Bo, the two of you are killing someone, Luo San is just doing his best." In the face of the praise of these two, Lao Luo can't help but be humble, who told people at this time to recognize this?
"Still killing? Now in the team of tens of thousands of people, who doesn't know that it was you, Luo Jia Saburo, who led people to kill the Turkmen people? I've been in a foreign land for more than a hundred years, and I've never been as beautiful as I am now......" Li Nie smiled, patted Luo Kaixian's arm and said loudly.
"Shibo, don't say that, winning the battle against the Turkmen, or the result of the soldiers' lives, how much role can I play alone......" Lao Luo didn't want to be polite like this, and after paying attention for a while, he saw Dou Mill who was silent next to him, and instantly understood the thoughts of the two elders, "The second elder is talking like this, is it worried that I have prejudices against Dou Lao?" ”
"Oh......" Lao Luo's straightforwardness made the two stunned for a moment, what they were thinking about was indeed so, Dou Mo was their old brother, but he had a bad temper, and after asking the Turks back then, he quit the army and worked as a farmer at home, otherwise at least it was Cheng Shouru's position now.
Unfinished, to be completed later.
