Chapter 16: Forming a New Army
"Shame is not terrible, and harsh treaties are not terrible, what is afraid is to live in shame. In shame, drunk and dreaming of death, forgetting shame, forgetting hatred! Zhao Pu had already restrained his tears, and said with firm eyes, "Don't be obsessed with the humiliation of the alliance under the city, but think about how to be ashamed!" ”
Comfort can forget hatred, but it can also forget shame.
The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou.
There is no shame in signing unequal treaties with inferior strength; It is a shame to forget the shame of the past and die of a drunken dream.
The shame of Jingkang is not that the country was broken and the two emperors were captured and humiliated, but that the descendants of later generations forgot their hatred, signed a peace agreement with the enemy, and lived drunk and dreamed of death. Even the Northern Expedition was only for political capital, not for shame.
"I have two cats at home, one is black and one is white, and which one is a good cat? A cat that can catch a mouse is a good cat! Zhao Pu said, "The official family said that if anyone can wash away the shame of today's alliance under the city, he can be crowned king!" ”
"Readers, no matter how much you read, you can't repel the Jin army. Jin Jun is a group of beasts, no matter how much Confucius and Mencius are told to Jin Jun, no matter how much courtesy, righteousness and shame are useless. There is only one way to deal with beasts, and that is to raise a big stick and beat it fiercely, as if killing a dog, until he surrenders and knocks him down to death! ”
"No matter how much empty talk you say, it's useless, only strong force can get the Jin army out. An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 people and 100,000 blood! In that year, Ban Chao threw his pen from Rong and killed the Xiongnu envoys with 36 warriors; In that year, General Cao Bin abandoned literature and military force, pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty, pacified the Northern Han Dynasty, and attacked the Liao army from afar; At that time, Fan Xianggong was a scholar and shot the wolf in the northwest; Do you have the heart to abandon literature and follow martial arts? Zhao Pu shouted at the top of his voice.
The literati, especially in their youth, are fond of tossing, and if they are not restricted, they will inevitably cause great trouble. And the best way is to reduce empty talk, let these literati do practical things, do a good job with rewards, and do a bad job to get out.
"I do!" Suddenly, there was a sparse sound of pulling.
Zhao Pu's eyes flashed with disappointment, the literati despised the martial arts, and naturally they were not willing to abandon the literature and follow the martial arts, in their eyes, the martial arts were second-class citizens and lowly professions.
"It's all a bunch of mouth cannons, just talking about it, not practicing. I still say the same thing, white cats and black cats, catching mice is a good cat! No matter how powerful the literati are, can they rely on their incorruptible tongue to say that they will retire the Jin Army? This is impossible, only strong force can make the Jin army retreat. Why is the Jin army only 60,000 or 70,000 troops now, but Bianliang City has more than 100,000 troops, and reinforcements from all over the country have gathered, with hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands against tens of thousands of people, staying in a fortified city, like a mouse, why is this? Why is that? ”
"The elite division of the Jin Kingdom is only 200,000. If our army has the intention of killing one to make money, killing two to earn one. It only takes 400,000 troops to wipe out the Kingdom of Jin! ”
"You talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius every day, but you know the true meaning of the way of Confucius and Mencius! Confucius was born in the state of Lu, which was weak and often bullied by weak countries, and when Confucius was eighteen years old, the Song Kingdom invaded. Confucius had already joined the army, and in the battle, he killed 18 enemies and suffered eight wounds on his body, but he still fought bloodily. Mencius was born in the Zou State, the Zou State is also a small country, when the Zheng State came to invade, Mencius resolutely put on armor and went into battle, went deep into the enemy formation, and fought to the death! ”
Saying that, Zhao Pu's eyes flashed with contempt, "In the five dynasties, the martial artists rebelled in the country, and they even connived at the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, which is also an important reason for our dynasty to suppress the martial artists." But you are scholars, if you join the army, you will only stabilize the country, and will not do the things of rebellious ministers and thieves, but you can also restrain the soldiers and treat the people well, this is the new warrior! ”
Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep is undoubtedly the best way to promote. Since scholars despise martial artists and regard military service as a lowly profession, they have no choice but to publicize stories such as Confucius's military records and Mencius's military records.
There are some imaginary colors, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually a certain amount of truth. Both Confucius and Mencius were born in weak and small countries, and there were constant wars. Their homeland was always facing the end of destruction, and it was reasonable to join the army at that time.
"I am willing to join the new army!"
"I'm willing to swing the three-foot green peak and kill the gold thief!"
Under the guidance, encouragement, and irony, this group of students finally became enthusiastic.
Zhao Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had nothing to do, and he was too student to have something to do, so he could finally stop causing trouble.
………
The Song Dynasty had a comprehensive national strength like the United States, military spending was comparable to that of German fascists, the combat effectiveness of the army was only at the level of Italy, and the people lived a hard life like Afghanistan.
Improving the combat effectiveness of the army has always been something that the Song Dynasty has been constantly exploring from beginning to end. It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of the army of the Song Dynasty has always been at the level of Italy except for some special periods, and huge military expenditures have been wasted.
The shame of Jingkang will soon come, and then the troubled times will come.
In troubled times, having a strong army is the best way to save your life. And forging a strong army has become an extremely important thing. Zhao Pu has always wanted to have an army, which can protect him in the chaos of war.
So, taking the opportunity of persuading the students, he put forward the idea of forming a new army.
In the warm pavilion, Song Qinzong looked at this younger brother with satisfaction. Among his father's many sons, Zhao Pu belongs to the obscure category, very inconspicuous, very unpretentious, if it weren't for some holiday banquets, he would have almost forgotten this younger brother. 、
It's just that with the article "Six Defeats and Six Victories", he quickly noticed this younger brother. Although some aspects of that article are not quite right, it is difficult to offset the bright edge, and the abdicated father also sighed that Guo Jia is alive.
"What's going on with the New Army?" Song Qinzong asked.
"The army of an empire was the most powerful in the early days of the founding of the country, but with the peace in the world and the absence of war for a long time, the armament will inevitably be slackened and the combat effectiveness will inevitably decline. In the early days of the Qin State, sweeping Liuhe, leveling the world, and driving out the Xiongnu, the army of millions of tigers and wolves was so powerful, but at the end of Qin, just a group of peasant armies destroyed the powerful Qin State. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it only took Li Jing three months to wipe out the Huns and the Auspicious Khan, how powerful it was. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was captured by a small Tubo. When our dynasty was in Taizu Taizong, there was no disadvantage in destroying all the feudal towns, and the powerful Northern Han Dynasty also collapsed in an instant, but when it came to Emperor Renzong, he was just a Western Xia barbarian, and he was in a hurry. When he arrived at Emperor Shenzong, he tried his best to shake the Western Xia. In our dynasty, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were weakened and wiped out under the iron cavalry of the Jin army. This is not the sin of the imperial brother, but the inevitability of history, and it is a phenomenon that will inevitably appear after the world has been peaceful for a long time! ”
Zhao Pudao first told the law of the army from prosperity to decline, which is not a phenomenon unique to a certain dynasty, but a stubborn disease common to many dynasties. With the decline of the army, many dynasties also perished with the people.
"At this time, the old army can no longer maintain the stability of the dynasty, maybe a group of mud legs is enough to put a huge dynasty in a desperate situation! The royal brother remembers the Manichaean riots in Fangla. The armament in the Fang La Rebellion army is uneven, the internal chaos is chaotic, and the people's will is unstable, but such a garbage team took two years and spent countless money and food to extinguish it! ”
"The old army can no longer stabilize the country, only the new army can reverse the crisis!"
"What do you think about forming a new army?" Song Qinzong asked.
"Our dynasty greatly exceeded the Tang Dynasty in terms of taxes, money, grain, and population, but our dynasty first lost the Great Wall defense line such as Youyun, and then lost Hexi, Hetao and other areas. Without the barriers of these regions, the rich lands of the Central Plains were exposed to the iron horses of foreign races, and the border troubles were unprecedentedly serious. However, the Khitan, Western Xia, and now the rising Jin State are far stronger than the Xiongnu of the Han and the Turks of the Tang. This determines that our dynasty must have a strong army to resist strong enemies. ”
However, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns were divided, and the five generations were in turmoil, and the lessons left were too serious, so many policies were formulated in order to prevent the martial arts from rebelling. Of course, this has eliminated the rebellion of the warriors, but it has also weakened the combat effectiveness of the army. This is an extremely tangled problem, the border troubles are serious and need a strong army, but a strong army will cause the division of the feudal town! Zhao Pu said, "This is an extremely difficult knot to solve!" ”
Later generations said that the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, promoted literature and suppressed military force, and despised army building. In fact, the Song Dynasty did not lightly use military force, but attached great importance to the army, and its annual military expenditure was comparable to that of the German fascists of later generations and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The annual expenditure on military expenditure is the first among all Chinese dynasties.
It's a pity that money can't buy a strong national defense!
