10-58 On the Soldiers
Xia Wanchun and Liang Shiyi are both new young talents in the capital, grammar and poetry are very good, and they are community leaders, and they are even better than the four sons of Jiangnan back then.
It is not unreasonable to say this, the new generation of young people is different from Hou Fangyu's generation, and most of the former members of the Fushe are arrogant sons, drinking and writing poems on the Qinhuai River every day, getting drunk, and then pointing out the country and discussing the current situation, acting freely and unrestrainedly. And the current members of the Fushe have completely lost that wild style, and even drinking alcohol is very rare, let alone lingering in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, these high-spirited young people know all day long, study military books, discuss military affairs, and explore the future of the Ming Dynasty and even the entire nation. Life is very hard and frugal.
And Xia Wanchun is one of the outstanding figures, this young man was born in a famous family, influenced by his father Xia Yunyi, committed to loyalty and righteousness, advocating fame. He read poetry at the age of five, at the age of seven, he could write poetry at the age of eleven, and he was in Xiucai at the age of eleven, and followed his father to travel through the mountains and rivers since he was a child, and met the heroes of the world.
Liang Shiyi, unlike Xia Wanchun, he was born in a peasant family in Shandong, funded by the Red Shirt Army, and entered the local social studies with excellent results, and was recommended to enter Jinling Academy.
It stands to reason that the Fu Society and the Iron Blood Society are also on the same path, but because everyone is in different academies, so even with these young people have a long and short thought, Donglin Academy is not popular, and most of the debates are held in Jinling Academy.
Although Xia Wanchun and Liang Shiyi are both figures on the cusp, after all, they are still humble gentlemen, and the rules of Jinling Academy are freedom of speech, no matter who they are, they have the right to speak freely, so when Liu Ziguang interrupted them, both of them said very graciously: "Please." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "The two of you are very energetic and wonderful, but I want to give you a sentence: empty talk is misleading the country, and doing real work to prosper the country, rather than showing off your tongue here, it is better to serve the court from Rong with real knives and guns than empty words, and it is better to kill all the dogs." ”
The two thought that Liu Ziguang was here to debate, but they didn't think that they were actually here to criticize them, but they were humble gentlemen, they just smiled faintly, and then Xia Wanchun said: "Xia Mou has long had this intention, and now the situation is in an eventful autumn, and the strong enemy is looking around, if it weren't for the sake of obeying his father's will, Xia would have joined the army a long time ago, and would be a general under the command of Inspector Yuan, and regain the lost territory and expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Liang Shiyi also said: "Our members of the Iron and Blood Society have long had this plan, and when they have academic achievements, they will join the Red Shirt Army of Zhenwuhou and become a Confucian general who strategizes and wins thousands of miles. ”
Liu Ziguang said: "The spirit of the two is commendable, but I want to ask why you can become a general when you enlist in the army, is it based on your rhetoric?" Anyone can talk about it on paper, but do you know that the hardships of fighting a war are the necessary qualities of a general?
War is far from being as simple as you think, to be a general, you must first have a strong physique, excellent martial arts, horseback archery, horse warfare, and foot warfare, you must be proficient in everything, otherwise the soldiers will not obey you at all, and secondly, you must have keen observation and judgment and tenacious character, the battlefield is changing rapidly, you must constantly change with the situation, and the countermeasures will fall short if you are not careful, and the lives of tens of millions of soldiers will be lost.
Commanding operations, marching and arranging, sand table operations, infantry and artillery coordination, and logistical supply are all all knowledge, just as you just said that the Red Shirt Army relies on Jiangnan financial and material resources to fight the war, which shows that the current war is different from the previous war, and it is simply a joke to rely on a few old-fashioned military books to dream of being a general. ”
The two were dumbfounded by Liu Ziguang's words, but they couldn't refute it for a while, and the audience was also stupid, and everyone whispered and asked each other: Who is this? But no one knows. The son-in-law was also dumbfounded, I didn't expect this uncle to be so capable that he would not dare to talk back to the president.
Xia Wanchun's brain was more flexible in the end, and after being a little stunned, he began to retort: "According to Mr. Meaning, we have become useless, we are scholars, and when we go down, we don't necessarily have to be strong to think that soldiers are treacherous, we only need a shrewd mind, don't you see that Sun Bin and Kong Ming are all scholars who are powerless?" I pay attention to the use of literature to control the military, that is, from this aspect of consideration, simply relying on force to fight, is not the orthodoxy of the army. ”
"Miu!" Liu Ziguang immediately refuted: "First of all, the two examples you cited are extremely rare cases, how many Sun Bin have there been since ancient times?" How many Zhuge Kongmings are there? Yes, they are all geniuses, but it is not advisable for the elite to unify the army, because once the elite is gone, the soul of the army will collapse, and after you don't see Wuzhangyuan, the Shu army will plummet? What should we do if we don't have Sun Bin and Zhuge Liang in the Ming Dynasty? As the proverb goes, three stinkers are on top of Zhuge Liang, which is a manifestation of teamwork.
Just now, Xia Gongzi said that Liu Ziguang is not handsome, just a brave general, and he thinks so, but why can a brave and unscrupulous general win a hundred battles? That's because he has a team under his command to join the army, arranging a local terrain sand table every day according to the battlefield situation, conducting war game deductions, taking all possible situations into account, and formulating corresponding combat plans, so as to ensure the myth of his success.

Modern warfare is fought with comprehensive national strength, and the command does not all rely on strategy, but a combination of strategy and strength. Therefore, young people should keep up with the times, don't be complacent, and there is nothing wrong with learning Zhuge Liang, but don't learn to become Zhao Kuo. ”
When it comes to military affairs, Liu Ziguang still has two brushes, but he jumped out to show off, not for the sake of showmanship, but for another deep meaning. Sure enough, Liang Shiyi was recruited by him, and said thoughtfully: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but how can we become a useful talent?" Do you want to be a pawn before going to the army and start from the bottom? ”
Liu Ziguang was waiting for him to say this, and immediately replied: "No, our Ming Dynasty is not extravagant enough to use the students of Jinling Academy as pawns, and there is a suggestion that Liang Gongzi can consider it, there is a Jingshi lecture martial arts hall five miles south of this place, which is a military academy run by the Marquis of Zhenwu, specializing in training officers to ride horses, shoot arrows, drill guns, draw maps, Counselor: After completing all disciplines of military affairs, naval warfare, 6 wars, and air warfare, he can directly enter the Red Shirt Army, at least a general position, or he can enter the forbidden army as an officer through the recommendation of Zhenwuhou. ”
In the final analysis, Liu Ziguang recruited students for his martial arts hall, and there were two kinds of school systems in the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall, one was a one-and-a-half-year junior class to train officers at the small banner level, and the students were mainly fifteen or sixteen-year-old civilian sons of good families and outstanding soldiers in the army, and the other was a three-year senior class that trained middle and senior staff officers, commands, and logistics officers, and the quality requirements were relatively high, at least they had to be literate and hyphenation, flexible in mind, and excellent in physical fitness. In recent years, the trend is to emphasize literature over martial arts, which serious scholar will go to eat food and become a soldier, so the senior class of the martial arts hall has been in a serious shortage of staff.
Liang Shiyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "It is exactly what I want, I am worried that there is no way to serve the country, thank you, Mr. for pointing out a clear way for me." ”
And Xia Wanchun frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "The matter is so big that Xia will make a decision after thinking about it, and I will stop here today, and I will meet you again." After speaking, he led a group of members of the Restoration Society in white robes to leave Jinling Academy.
The goal was achieved, Liu Ziguang also bowed his hand to Liang Shiyi, intending to leave, but Liang Shiyi took his hand and said: "If you are not mistaken, Mr. should be a general under the command of the Marquis of Zhenwu, our Iron Blood Society is preparing to vote under the Hou Yemen, and please introduce Mr." ”
Liu Ziguang said: "How do you know that I am a person under the command of the Marquis of Zhenwu?" ”
Liang Shiyi smiled slyly: "The big force on Mr.'s feet has revealed the mystery. ”
Liu Ziguang looked down and saw that it was a pair of Nanyang rubber bottom canvas body of tall step boots, this kind of boots is the standard military boots of the Red Shirt Army, elasticity is good, breathable, good with boot laces, but also can tie the calf, the effect of leggings, because it is a military product, it is very rare for the people to give the old boots to relatives, so that they are in the people, and are fried to a very high price by the good deeds, or there is no price, and it is difficult to find a boot.
Because of the good elasticity of the boots, so the folk people take a flower name, called pull back boots, half high is called small pullback, ten inches high is called big pullback, big pullback, especially hard to find, with silver can not buy. Liu Ziguang was dressed in a shabby linen robe, but he was wearing a pair of expensive large-return military boots on his feet, which can only show that he is a member of the Red Shirt Army, and listening to his conversation is quite insightful, so it must not be an ordinary military academy, but an officer with a certain status.
Liu Ziguang smiled and said: "Hou Ye is thirsty for talent, you go, he naturally welcomes it, why do you need to introduce it below, besides, it is just an old army of the Red Shirt Army, and I am not very familiar with Hou Ye." ”
At this time, the members of the Iron Blood Society, who were wearing pirated redshirt army uniforms, had already surrounded Liu Ziguang, looked at him with eager eyes, and asked him to tell him a few deeds of the Zhenwu Marquis on the battlefield, Liu Ziguang pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, then I will tell you the story of him disguised as Erlang Zhenjun and parachuted into the imperial city of Beijing to capture the Manchu Empress Dowager alive......"
