The army is most afraid of idleness.

After training every day, Zhao Pu began to educate these soldiers ideologically, or brainwash.

From the 21st century, the importance of Zhao Pu's mental brainwashing, you don't see that as soon as the pyramid scheme comes out, even if the law has repeatedly cracked down, it is still repeatedly banned. You don't see, the Chechen militants have caused chaos in the world of Russia. You don't see, this ** is a 911, which makes the Yankees embarrassed.

This is the importance of ideological education.

And with 8,000 people, Zhao Pu naturally didn't have time to mobilize them one by one, so he had to grasp the big and let go of the small.

Generally, 50 people are a team, 2 teams are the capital, 5 are the battalions, 5 battalions are the army, and 10 armies are the compartments. The battalion, also commonly known as the "command," is the basic unit of operations. Infantry 1 commanded 500 people, cavalry less than that. There are many names of the chief officers at all levels, and they are generally as follows: the chamber and the army have respectively set up a commander, the army also has a commander, and the battalion has a commander, and there are still the first rank under them.

After being reduced to 8,000 men, the troops were reorganized. The old establishment is no longer suitable, according to the establishment of the Mandarin Duck Formation, twelve people are a small team, with a squad leader and a deputy captain; Ten squads, one hundred and twenty people as the leader of one squadron; Five squadrons, 600 people for a brigade, set up a captain; Five brigades, 3,000 men for a battalion, set up a battalion commander.

Eight thousand people, divided into three battalions, two full battalions and one less than full.

The object of Zhao Pu's education is nearly hundreds of low-level officers above the squad leader.

No matter how good the strategy and strategy in the battle, the low-level officers need to be properly executed, otherwise everything will be in vain. The rout of an army begins with the rout of a junior officer. In the unfavorable situation of fierce battles and fluctuating military morale, if the junior officers are able to suppress the ammunition effectively, if they can suppress the floating soldiers well, it is enough to turn the victory or defeat on the battlefield.

At this moment, after a day of training, they were all relatively tired, and at this time, the junior officers were all sitting around a big tree to rest, while Zhao Pu began ideological education.

"Once a Jin army threatened a big city in Hebei, the general defending the city immediately mobilized soldiers and horses to guard, the Jin army saw that the city was well defended, and it was difficult to break through in a short time, so they plundered outside the city, a large amount of grain, a large number of women, a large number of craftsmen, in short, many things were looted. The Jin army finally retreated, and the generals defending the city believed that the battle had been won and the city had been saved; And the Jin army also thought that the battle was won, and the Song generals were all cowards, who did not dare to come out in the city, and the harvest was very rich. The defenders think it's a big victory, and the Jin army also thinks it's a big victory! Was it a big win or a big defeat?"

Zhao Pu said with a smile, "Everyone is free to discuss, whoever wants to say it, you can raise your hand to answer!" ”

Suddenly, Zhao Pu had the feeling of returning to his elementary school days and teaching little children.

No way, Song Jun has too many blind Chinese;

"It should be a great victory for our army, the enemy army is strong, in the face of strength, it is not easy to keep the city!"

"No, a large number of women have been taken captive, children have been killed, and it is still a great victory to sit back and watch the people be killed, and not to do anything."

"Shrinking turtle, what a big victory!"

"No, it's self-aware!"

The soldiers below were soon divided into two factions, arguing with each other, each saying their own opinions. Even the planters on the side were thinking about whether this was a great victory for the Song army or a great victory for the Jin army.

Zhao Pu did not intervene, he listened quietly, thinking is the beginning of progress.

The more the hundreds of officers quarreled, the more fierce it became, and the middle of the division had to intervene to stop it, and asked, "Prison army, I don't know which side you think is the great victory?" “

"There's no point in talking about which side is the great victory, it's better to talk about what the great victory is?" Zhao Pu looked at the soldiers around him and said loudly, "In the Han and Tang dynasties, what was a great victory? Only the merit of exterminating the clan and the merit of the king can become a great victory. Recovering the Hetao, recovering the Hexi Corridor, destroying the Xiongnu, and exterminating the Turks, this can be called a great victory! And as long as we hold the city in our dynasty, it will be a great victory! That's the gap! “

The soldiers around listened to it, and some of their faces were faintly red, and there was a sense of shame; Most of them are motionless, insensitive, and do not feel the slightest feeling.

Zhao Pu looked around, those whose faces were ashamed, secretly remembered in their hearts, these are all talents that can be created; And those who are insensitive, who do not have the slightest feeling, have already classified them as "waste soldiers" and do not mind treating them as cannon fodder in battle.

And the ideological education is also aimed at those soldiers who are ashamed.

"Why is my Great Song Dynasty not as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties? Is it because the king is not diligent? Could it be that the doctor lacks backbone? Could it be that the soldiers lack the courage to fight? Could it be that our dynasty does not attach importance to armament? Could it be that the barbarians have become stronger? Zhao Pu asked several times in a row, his eyes were shining, and at this moment he had a feeling of being possessed by a mustache, "No!" The king of my dynasty is diligent and diligent, and he works hard to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and to recover Ningzhou and Lingzhou! Among the scholars, Fan Zhongyan and others did not avoid the sword and stepped forward to kill the enemy; There are also soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, and a large number of people died on the road in Pingxia. ”

"Why is my dynasty inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, have you thought about why?" Zhao Pu kept asking, with a hypnotic flavor in his tone.

Why is the Great Song Dynasty inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties?

The problem just now has not been solved, and it has fallen into a new problem. Many officers began to think, even those veterans began to think about it.

There are many answers to this question, it can be described as a thousand people and a thousand answers, and if it is really discussed, it will not be discussed for three days and three nights. It's good to have thinking, but it's not good to have your own ideas, Zhao Pu is to unify thoughts, not to engage in "a hundred schools of thought".

"Why I am not as good as Han and Tang is because Han and Tang have always made dumplings, and I am chasing ducks!" Zhao Pu immediately threw out a proposition. What is ideological education? It is to install one's own mind into someone else's head.

"Han Tang is making dumplings, and I am chasing ducks?"

Many officers were immediately confused, and did not understand the meaning, and even among the planters on the side, they did not know why, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Zhao Pudao: "Making dumplings is to completely destroy the enemy, to annihilate the enemy, and to fight a war of annihilation; And to chase the ducks is to crush the enemy, the enemy is defeated, and finally flees. The Han and Tang dynasties rarely fought, but a war was a war to destroy the country, and a war was a complete annihilation of the enemy army, leaving no trace of affection; But when I fight, I chase ducks, and the enemy fights when he can beat it, and runs away if he can't beat it, and finally fights the snake without dying, but bites people. “

"It is better to hurt ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers, and hurt a person's fingers, and after a while, the fingers will be healed again; But when I chop off my fingers, they can't grow again. One battle of annihilation is better than ten battles of defeat. When Emperor Taizong was in the time, he made a northern expedition to the Liao State and won ten battles and ten victories, but he was only defeated once in the Gaoliang River, which was a complete defeat, why is this? That's because the Northern Expedition to Liao won ten battles, all of which were routs, and each victory did not hurt the foundation of Liao, but even let the main force of the Liao army run.

"These Liao troops, at the beginning, were recruits, never went to the battlefield, killed people, and were always recruits, but they were defeated several times in a row, and several consecutive defeats have honed them, making these recruits mature day by day, and they have become veterans from recruits. The battle of defeat is a nominal victory for our dynasty; The defeat battle turned the Liao soldiers from recruits to veterans. In short, it is not cost-effective to fight a rout, and a rout war is a typical battle that harms oneself and others. ”

"Famous generals do not fight uncertain battles, let alone defeat routs, they will fight wars of annihilation if they want to fight, turn the enemy's veterans into dead soldiers, kill new soldiers, and lose the opportunity to become veterans!"

The seed master also nodded secretly when he heard it, and his decades of experience in the war made him agree with it in his heart, and secretly admired that this prince still had goods in his stomach. And the other officers also understood it carefully, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"Doesn't Emperor Taizong know what's at stake? He also knew, but he couldn't help himself. Our army lost the land of Youyan and the land of the northwest, which is equivalent to losing the land of raising horses, and there is a shortage of war horses, and it is difficult to form a strong cavalry. There is no strong cavalry, only infantry, even if the army of Liao and Western Xia is defeated, the enemy can flee, fight if he wins, run away if he can't win, the initiative of the war is in the hands of Liao and Xixia at any time, which makes my Great Song Dynasty fall into an extremely embarrassing situation. “

"Our dynasty is at war with the Liao State, the Western Xia, and now the Jin State, even if our army has won ninety-nine battles, but as long as it loses once, the whole army will be defeated, facing the danger of losing territory and even destroying the country; However, the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia, and the current Jin Kingdom, even if they defeat ninety-nine times, they will not break their muscles and bones, but as long as they win once, they can turn the tables and force me to pay compensation for the cession of land! ”

"In our foreign wars, the scale of the war was more than 10,000 people, and the victory rate exceeded 70%; The Tang Dynasty, which was considered to be the most powerful militarily, won fewer and lost more in foreign wars. But why, our dynasty is known as a weak Song dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty has a strong Tang name, everything stems from the above two points! “

Speaking of this, Zhao Pu paused.

Brainwashing should pay attention to time, saying too much will produce immunity, saying too little and not feeling, we must grasp the time and leave time to think.

After talking a lot, and giving a speech to hundreds of people, Zhao Pu's mouth was dry and his throat was smoking, so he couldn't help but pause, picked up the teacup on the side and drank tea.

The surroundings were quiet, and even the planters on the side were in deep thought.
