Shi Bufan saw that this bazhuo had already entered the scene, and quickly chose to leave the scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You are responsible for the rest of the matter, and I don't have to preside over it myself. I'm going to go to Myorido now and give a lecture to the students. Shi Bufan said.
"To Minglitang? Isn't it more important to get money for the imperial court? Dugu Daxue asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "No, the affairs of Minglitang are more important. Money is always something outside the body, and talent is the foundation of wealth. If there are not enough talents, no amount of wealth can be kept. Any competition in this world is, in the final analysis, a competition of talents. Even if it is a competition for wealth, it is still a competition for whose talent is more able to make money in the end. Therefore, talent is far more important than these wealth, and I teach students that it is more important than these wealth. ā
"However, there is no you to call the shots here, so how can we be safe?" Qin Jiarui asked.
Shi Bufan replied: "It's very simple, just come and ask me when you encounter an emergency." Jiarui, you have to remember that management is actually two parts. Some of the management is planned, and there are rules and regulations that can be queried. These things don't require much energy, but there are many things that are not planned, and things that are not planned are important. If you rely on me to make decisions, it's useless. You can consider leaving things to others in the future, and you can do those unplanned things well, and that's it. You can let go of everyday things and don't worry too much about them. Only the unplanned things are the point. ā
After Shi Bufan finished speaking, he left directly, and now that there was still a curfew for a few hours, Shi Bufan hurried to Chang'an's Mingli Hall to give a lecture. Shi Bufan is the "hall master" of Mingli Hall, of course, this hall master is not responsible for specific management, and the specific affairs are entrusted to the "mountain chief" to be responsible. However, from time to time, I will come to give lectures from time to time, that is, key courses related to psychology. This Minglitang is now Li Shimin's daughter, Princess Runan, who came to class, which can be regarded as an advertisement for Xinxue. Many ordinary students have also begun to study psychology, and even many ordinary families are vying to send their children to study in Minglitang. However, according to the requirements of Shi Bufan, the selection criteria are becoming more and more stringent, because the current economic conditions and educational resources are limited, and only those who are excellent can be given priority. This is often the cruel world where the powerful can get more resources first, and those with poor ability can only get less, or even not.
However, this depends on ability to determine status, and this is the most appropriate way. As for those scholars who rely on generations to monopolize, this is what everyone hates. What everyone hates is not the privilege of the scholars, but the fact that they rely on the privilege to pass on from generation to generation, blocking the path of others and preventing others from being able to rise to the top, which is the hateful place of the scholars.
"Hall Master, you're here!" In the Mingli Hall, several part-time teachers took the initiative to greet them.
Shi Bufan asked, "What about the princess?" She didn't have any princess temper, did she? ā
"No, the princess is very obedient and didn't deliberately play with her identity."
"That's good!"
Shi Bufan walked to the Mingli Hall, and Shi Bufan saw Princess Runan who was in class with those ordinary children. Although Princess Runan did not deliberately show her identity, there were still necessary preferential treatments. For example, the position of Princess Runan is in the center, and it is still a very high position, which is the "privilege" of the princess.
"Shi Yuan Wailang!" Princess Runan saluted first.
"Princess, don't be polite, I'll explain the course to you today!" Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan took the initiative to ask first: "What do you think of reading these days, what questions do you have?" ā
Princess Runan first asked: "May I ask Shi Yuanlang, the mind has always paid attention to having a pure heart, and is truly not confused by external objects, but what is the use?" What is the use of this pure heart? You once said that if the heart does not move, heaven and earth can tolerate it, so what is the use of that? ā
"Do you think this is useless? Does this innocent heart feel that it can't bring benefits, and I don't know what to do with it? Shi Bufan asked.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be useful, huh?" Princess Runan asked.
Seeing that everyone felt that this knowledge of mind cultivation was useless, Shi Bufan didn't feel confused, because many people really didn't understand what the use of this was. If it was those pedantic teachers in ancient times, they would definitely be scolded severely, thinking that this is for the sake of profit, for utilitarianism, how can this be done? He is not opposed to reading for utilitarianism, but he believes that the utilitarian benefits that he wants to get from reading are not the "utilitarians" that ordinary people see, but the longer-term benefits. Shi Bufan does not object to reading for the sake of benefits, but this "benefit" is by no means simply those things that can be perceived by the body, such as money, power, beauty, and other things that can be perceived by seven emotions and six desires. Only by transcending these is the real good.
"You may think that this childlike heart, unmoved by external objects, is a useless thing. But I want to tell you, if you can have a pure heart, a strong heart without external things, then you can be invincible and invincible? Shi Bufan said.
"Wouldn't it? Since there is nothing outside the heart, there is nothing, and there is no military book, how can you defeat the enemy? Princess Runan asked.
Shi Bufan knew that ordinary people might want to understand how this innocent object could defeat the enemy, but it was very doubtful.
"Let me tell you a story about Wang Yangming, this Wang Yangming can be said to be the real founder of Xinxue!" Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan explained some examples of Wang Shouren's battles to these students in later generations, especially Wang Shouren's philosophy as a military strategist. Wang Shouren was a famous politician, military strategist, and philosopher in the Ming Dynasty, and he was a literati who was able to fight wars and defeat many enemies who seemed to be powerful, and perhaps many people think how he was able to do it, this is very incomprehensible.
But Shi Bufan really saw Wang Shouren's examples, which were actually nothing more than a few routines, that is, not to be fooled himself, and then let the enemy be fooled. Don't be fooled yourself, let others be fooled, these two sentences are actually easy to say, but it is difficult and difficult to do. If you are not fooled on the battlefield, when the vast majority of your strength is not much different, you are already invincible. And let the enemy fall for it at this time, then you are almost sure to win.
Whether Wang Shouren fought in Jiangxi or put down King Ning's rebellion, in fact, it was nothing more than these two routines. As long as you stabilize yourself and are not deceived by any illusions of the enemy, then the enemy has nothing to do with you. As for letting the enemy be fooled, Wang Shouren actually has two routines back and forth, and after he is not fooled, he will find a way to fool the enemy, so that the enemy's failure is inevitable.
Although Wang Shouren has not learned much of the art of war, as long as he understands the simple truth of "don't be fooled yourself, let the enemy be fooled", it is almost invincible. In China and even around the world, so many generals can't do this, and if they do, or they don't let the enemy fool.
Shi Bufan thinks that Wang Shouren can defeat the enemy, not because of how much he has learned the art of war, but because he can really achieve the realm of not liking things and not being sad about himself. As long as it is steady, the enemy will be like a dog biting a hedgehog, and there will be no way to get his mouth shut.
Instead, he managed to fool the enemy. He knows what the enemy wants, he knows very well what the enemy wants, what the enemy wants to believe. He has a very good understanding of the human heart, he knows very well what people like, and in the end he just does what he likes. Wang Shouren has a very deep understanding of the weakness of the human heart, and he knows very well what the enemy wants. Once you know what the enemy wants, then follow what the other party wants, and like the targeted layout plan, then the enemy is completely led by his nose. Once you are led by the nose, it is one step away from failure.
Wang Shouren's several examples of warfare are all like this, several times he designed the enemy to ambush, so that in the end he fell into his trap and was easily annihilated. However, he has a very rock-solid willpower, even in the face of unfavorable situations, he can make accurate judgments and calmly make the most favorable decisions.
"As long as you are not deceived by any external object of the enemy, then no one in this world can defeat you. When you put aside all the good and evil, right and wrong, and exclude anything that can be perceived through your eyes, ears, mouth, and hands, and truly perceive it with your heart, then you can easily know whether it is the enemy's plan or not. When you reject all the influences of your eyes, ears, mouth, and hands, then in the end you can be invincible first. Even if others have any special circumstances, then you can make a calm decision, and there will be no panic and finally cause the whole situation to collapse. ā
"Sun Tzu also said that a good fighter is invincible first, and he is defeated before he wins, which means not to be deceived by anything advantageous, which is the foundation of war."
Shi Bufan's role in Yangming Xinxue in warfare actually influenced ancient Chinese generals all the time. Of course, in fact, many generals also use the corresponding principles, but they do not philosophize them. Sun Tzu's military theory also has corresponding proposals, but Sun Wu was not able to philosophize these accordingly. Knowing how to use philosophy and knowing how to summarize and refine a philosophical system are not the same thing. Sun Wu and even many famous generals know about related things, but no one can really put forward relevant philosophies, which is not accidental. If you don't have a professional system to learn, it doesn't mean that you don't know how to use it. However, it is also a skill to be able to refine human experience and leave it to future generations. For example, an engineer may not be a good teacher, but a good teacher may not be a very good engineer, but he can teach many engineers.
In the study of war history, the general who is more famous for Yang Ming's mental studies, and the one who has a deep memory for Shi Bufan is the famous Japanese naval admiral Togo Heihachiro. In addition to excluding personal and national feelings, take a look at this Togo Heihachiro, who also believes in Wang Shouren's Yangming Xinxue. And the process of his war is actually somewhat similar to Wang Shouren's way of war.
Some descendants take it for granted that Heihachiro Togo is not capable and does not contribute much to tactics and various strategies, and it is too much to say that he is the god of the Japanese Navy. However, although Shi Bufan may not agree that Togo Heihachiro is the god of the navy, he is definitely a very good fleet commander. Although he doesn't seem to have too many shining points, and even the battle plan was formulated by his subordinate staff officer Mayuki Akiyama, it can't deny Heihachiro Togo's ability.
Heihachiro Togo looks like "doing nothing", but in fact, this is precisely his greatest strength. When Japan was at an unfavorable time during the Russo-Japanese War, the other admirals were in a panic, but Togo Heihachiro poured tea for his flustered subordinates to stabilize the morale of the army, which even the British admired very much for this calm attitude.
Even many people regard Togo Heihachiro's victory as luck, but they seriously ignore that luck is also a factor in victory and defeat in war. The shrapnel of the Russian army almost killed Heihachiro Togo on the spot, and if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would be completely panicked and completely panicked by this dangerous situation. But Togo Heihachiro continued to command as if nothing happened, which is enough to show that he is not an ordinary person, since he first learned the navy in England has experienced a lot of tempering, he has long been very calm, and has long reached the state of not being moved by foreign objects.
Too many people only measure the quality of a commander tactically, so they superficially think that the general is not a good general. However, in fact, it is not only tactics that determine the outcome of a war, but even the psychological quality of the commander is an important basis for truly determining the outcome of a war. A commander with poor psychological quality will just waste opportunities for no reason. Although there was a lot of luck in the Russo-Japanese War, there was also a lot of luck in many wars. Some people are able to use this luck to win, but some people simply can't turn it into an advantage.
Heihachiro Togo turned this luck into an advantage, and that is what he is capable of. On the contrary, a large group of people obviously have these advantages, but they miss them for no reason, so it is a pity. Being able to turn luck into an advantage is a time to test the psychological quality of the commander.
Putting aside the factor of personal feelings for the nation, he thinks that Heihachiro Togo, who has always believed in Yangming Xinxue, is a good army commander, at least his psychological quality is very strong. In the case of maintaining yourself as little as possible without fail, use cunning means to deceive and trap the enemy. In fact, in terms of understanding the army, Heihachiro Togo has been learning from Wang Shouren, in fact, he has deceived others without being fooled or failing as much as possible. In the very impetuous Japanese army back then, it was already very good to be able to elect such a calm and impulsive commander, and Togo Heihachiro could have such a powerful achievement, which could not be explained simply by luck. There may be luck, but being able to turn luck into an advantage is the skill.
"So, judging from the examples I've mentioned, as long as you can keep your mind open, you won't necessarily be able to defeat the enemy. But in the same way, no enemy can defeat you, and this is the use of the mind in war. Shi Bufan said. (To be continued.) )
