Jing Wentong's own understanding of the various so-called art of war is not really to learn their means of warfare. Because with the change of the times, many means of warfare have no effect. The tactics and terrain aspects of the Art of War are outdated, but the only thing that is out of date is the philosophy in the Art of War. That is, to advocate peace, and to advocate the idea of strategy. However, many later generations have used and understood distortions. And because of the distorted understanding of Sun Tzu's idea of re-planning in the Art of War, China has had the thinking of re-planning and light force since ancient times. This is why it shouldn't be, so Jingwen must correct these thoughts. In the future, Jingwen hoped that these officers could rely on their upright strength to win, instead of thinking about what kind of tricks and tricks they relied on to win like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Because, if you want to win by this kind of strategy, you will either win or lose. A big victory or a big defeat is not a good thing for a country or an army. If a country's military is caught in such a situation where strategy is valued and soldiers are despised for the sake of the soldiers, then the country is in danger.

In Jingwen's understanding, as long as the difference in strength reaches a certain level, then any strategy is useless. If the strategy is useful, then can so many nomads still be able to suppress the Central Plains? Back then, when the Mongols entered the Central Plains, and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, weren't they all a group of "illiterates"? How do they know what strategy, but they should have beaten those Han generals who have seen a lot of strategy and tactics, and this is also the gap in strength. If your own strength is weak, or your own internal friction has caused "self-destruction of martial arts", then you still want to win the enemy by strategy, which is obviously impossible. Jingwen did not think that strategy was of much use, but developed his own strength and perfected military theory as the most important thing. And it is precisely the erroneous understanding of Sun Tzu's idea of re-planning in the Art of War that caused the entire Chinese army to become weaker and weaker. If there has always been an army that dominates the world in combat effectiveness, it doesn't matter who commands it. That can be won, this is the highest level of the army.

"You just saw Sun Tzu's soldiers who surrendered without a fight, but you ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, isn't Sun Tzu's use of soldiers also domineering? If I'm not mistaken, there is another sentence in the Art of War, which is called double attack and ten sieges. Sun Tzu's thinking is not that you want to win through guò strategy, but that Sun Tzu's thinking is that you want to oppress each other by absolute strength. As for strategy, it's only secondary, and now you put strategy first, isn't this a tiger not an anti-dog? Jingwen said very politely.

In the memories of these officers. The sentence of surrendering the army without a fight is more familiar than the sentence that the ten will be surrounded by a double attack. It is precisely the sentence of surrendering without a fight that makes many people think that Sun Tzu pays attention to winning by strategy. But Jingwen is in the TV of later generations, there is a video of a professor from a military university giving a lecture to students, but it mentions the phrase "double attack", in fact, Sun Tzu's thinking is still to win with absolute strength, Sun Tzu actually thinks that in the case of maintaining the same or even more strength than the other party, use strategy to win. But I don't know when it started, and some people immediately misunderstood. As a result, it became that all of them relied on strategy to win, and then left behind the idea of re-plotting and light power in later generations.

Of course, perhaps there are mistakes in those military history books. Those military history books only record those examples of battles that are too "miraculous", so everyone pursues such miracles. This led to the later thinking of heavy scheming and light force.

"Sacrificial wine, you haven't said it yet, why do so many Ming monarchs and virtuous generals praise Sun Tzu's Art of War? Is it true that according to what you said, learning Sun Tzu's Art of War still requires a focus on identity? Chai Jing asked.

Jingwen also continued: "Of course. Sun Tzu's Art of War pays attention to strategy, but his strategy is not the so-called soldier who really wants to surrender without a fight on the battlefield, but depends on the level you are in. And in the history books, so many Ming monarchs and virtuous generals praised Sun Tzu's Art of War, in fact, you must first figure out who can leave a name in the history books. Since ancient times. The person who left his name in the history books is not a high-level such as emperors and generals. And their identity, learning strategy and attaching importance to strategy are naturally no problem. However, if you are only a middle- and lower-ranking officer, that is, an officer below the division level, then you attach too much importance to Sun Tzu's idea of the Art of War, and it will be harmful. ”

"Huh? What is this theory? ”

Everyone was a little puzzled, why Jing Wen proposed that officers below the division level should not only be not beneficial, but also harmful. This is the first time these students have heard that there are still disadvantages to learning the art of war. And if it is a later generation, then I am afraid it will be easy to understand. Because different levels have different levels of tasks, it is like a township civil servant who thinks about the country's development plan and the country's foreign exchanges all day long. And if a township civil servant is so cranky, then there must be no future.

"Because the troops above the division level are the combat corps, and below the division level, they are only the corps at the tactical level. As for the army level, it is a large battle corps. And the ministers such as the emperor and the prime minister in the court are all strategic figures. Therefore, at different levels, you actually let him learn combat ideas that are far higher than his own tasks, this is obviously a tiger that cannot become an anti-dog! Don't come up with a paper talk at that time, it will be miserable. You don't know the lesson of Zhao Kuo back then. As an officer, the first thing you think about is not what you want to bring about in a strategic change, but how you stand in this war. If you don't even know where you are, and you think about making an impact on your strategy, I'm afraid most of them will go wrong. Jingwen said.

"The army of the future will be composed of officers who are cranky all day long. As long as the army can take its place, victory will almost certainly come. However, if the parts of a machine are not able to do their own duties, and they think about becoming another task that they cannot take on for the time being, it is destined to be damaged, and even the entire large machine will be damaged. Jingwen said.

Everyone is a little puzzled, what does Jingwen mean by this, Jingwen's lecture is a bit profound. (To be continued......)
