After the welcoming ceremony on the day, in order to wash the dust of the ministers, a grand banquet was held in the original capital of Zhenxi Prefecture. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not that people don't want to be extravagant and extravagant, or extravagant and wasteful, but some pomp and circumstance must be placed, and the miraculous return of the fallen hero, how can this kind of event that is enough to be written into the history books be lively and festive?

At the banquet, he didn't hug left and right, drank wine with all his subordinates, and ate meat, it was really unhappy!

But the next morning, he got up early and went to inspect all parts of the city.

The first thing you inspect is the army!

There is no other reason, the army is the foundation of his life in the last days of mankind, if there is no strong and reliable force, even if he does not manage his own territory well, it is just to make wedding clothes for others! Buchen is a guy who can't afford to be profitable most of the time, and this kind of thing to contribute to others is naturally not interested in doing it!

The condition of the army is much better than Buchen imagined, and this army that has survived a hundred battles still maintains the training habits of the Beijing Division, going out for a run early in the morning every day, and only after completing the drill will it go to breakfast and rest for a while.

When Buchen arrived at the barracks, the soldiers were running around the school yard under the leadership of the officers, and their armor was neat and meticulous.

Standing on the sidelines and watching for a while, he nodded dissatisfiedly, although the political ideology is still a little worse, but I have to say that the will quality of his army has definitely reached the level of the national army! The only fly in the ointment is that there are too few people, and I think he trained a full 50,000 new troops at the beginning! And now some of these 4,000 people were filled by Chen Ying's subordinates later......

"The lord's art of war is really extraordinary, no wonder he was able to defeat a strong enemy at the beginning!" Chen Ying came to Buchen's side and praised sincerely.

It's just that Buchen shook his head and sighed: "It's not enough? ”

Chen Ying's expression suddenly became a little strange, you must know that according to the standards of this world, the army that exercises every five days can be called elite, and the army of Buchen does exercise every day, and the training time and intensity far exceed the standards of this world, such a military technique is not enough, so what else? Chen Ying couldn't think of it anyway.

Buchen glanced at him, didn't hide it, and stretched out his hand and pointed to his head.

"General Chen, what I mean by lack is thought!"

"Thoughts?" Chen Ying blinked inexplicably, "With all due respect, my lord, as long as a soldier has the courage to fight the enemy, what should he do with this kind of thing?" Don't be a learned gentleman! ”

Buchen was amused by Chen Ying's straightforward words, and he said with a smile: "No, soldiers must also have thoughts!" This kind of thinking is not the anachronistic truth of the turbans, but to understand who you are, what you are fighting for in the army, and what is worth giving your life for! ”

Chen Ying was stunned by what Buchen said, and she was confused: "Lord, I am a rough person, and my brain is turning slowly, you should try to tell me as simple as possible!" ”

"Hmm." Buchen nodded and gave an example: "Chen Ying, you are an old man who has been in the Eastern Army for decades, what did you say that the soldiers fought in the Eastern Army?" ”

"Why? It must be for the money! Chen Ying replied without thinking.

"Is it all for yourself?" Buchen asked with a smile.

"Isn't that right?" Chen Ying asked with a wink.

Buchen shook his head slightly: "I can't say it's wrong, everyone has the right to pursue their own personal ambitions!" It's just that. What about beyond that? ”

"Beyond this?" Chewing on Buchen's words, Chen Ying fell into deep thought.

Buchen looked at him with a smile and did not continue the topic, but asked another question: "General Chen, what do you think the people of the Eastern Kingdom, to be exact, the other people of the Eastern Kingdom who live around you?" ”

"They ......" Chen Ying hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, "They are strangers." ”

"That's right! What if one of them did something bad abroad and was embarrassed? Buchen continued to ask.

"This ...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. Chen Ying wiped the sweat on her head.

"Yes, it's not right!" Buchen laughed, "They are indeed strangers, but they speak the same language as you, have the same customs, and regard the Emperor of Light as their ancestors, don't you think that you are born with a destiny?" ”

"Fate is connected?" Chen Ying felt that her brain was about to be caught up in Buchen's words.

"That's right! You have so many things in common, you are in the same country, you have the same nationality, don't you think you are actually brothers? ”

When Buchen said this, Chen Ying really felt that strangers had something to do with him, so he nodded.

"Now you say, how would you feel if someone was embarrassed abroad?" Buchen asked with a smile.

"If it's a sibling......" Chen Ying's face immediately changed, full of anger: "This person is the shame of the Eastern Kingdom!" ”

"What if a compatriot is bullied abroad for no reason?"

"Then I must get justice for him! Even if it is by force! ”

Buchen stroked his palms and laughed: "Chief soldier Chen, you are now a real soldier of the Eastern Kingdom!" ”

Chen Ying was stunned suddenly, and stammered: "Lord, the thoughts you are talking about are ...... It is......? ”

Seeing that Chen Ying finally understood, Buchen nodded: "When I reviewed my failures in Jingshi, I found that my biggest mistake was to make the fight against foreign enemies become a one-man show for me!" The entire Jingshi, the entire Sili, and even the entire Dongguo are all standing by! Therefore, after learning from the pain, I decided to mobilize all the people I could control, and use blood and tradition as a bond to twist them into an inseparable whole! This is especially true in the army, and let the soldiers believe all this as if it were the truth! I believe that an army armed with such an idea will certainly be a hundred times stronger than the previous new army! A country armed with such an idea, even if it is only a corner of the world, can shake the whole world!! ”

After listening to Buchen's words, Chen Ying's admiration threw himself to the ground, he hugged his fists and bowed, saluted to Buchen, and said sincerely: "Lord, the Eastern Kingdom has been up and down for 5,000 years, and there are countless Ming monarchs and holy lords, but in the eyes of today's last generals, none of them can match you!" ”

There is no trace of horses in Chen Ying's words, they are all true! In the past, although the Ming monarchs and holy lords were all strategic, and they all regarded the people as thieves, and tried to weaken the people in order to consolidate their rule, even the cheap ancestors who were not subservient, and the great world tyrants were also like this! Otherwise, how could the most capable ritual sect of the foolish people depose a hundred schools of thought and dominate the court alone for hundreds of years?! None of them would think of mobilizing the people and twisting them into a rope like Buchen!

Hearing that Chen Ying held herself so high, Buchen shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It's easy to say, but it is not easy to achieve, in order to achieve this goal, I still have to do a lot of work, I hope General Chen can try his best to help me!" ”

"How dare the last general be unfaithful?" Chen Ying immediately said.

Buchen nodded with satisfaction and said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so let's start transforming these four thousand people now!" ”

What else is there to say about Chen Ying? Hurriedly agreed!

In fact, Buchen's so-called transformation is, to put it bluntly, "brainwashing", using nationalism to transform the army under his command into nationalist fighters. Of course, because the military is a violent institution, this idea is a little more extreme......

But don't think that this is a bad thing, thinking this kind of thing, only unswerving belief is useful, half-belief is useless, and if you want people to believe, and fanatical about it, and even throw your head and sprinkle blood, sacrifice life and forget death, you must be inflammatory! Swallowing water like warm and ordinary thinking is naturally not good!

In addition, don't think that being brainwashed is a bad thing, in fact, the earlier the person is brainwashed, the happier the person is, in the modern era of the previous life, when did the Ottoman Empire, which had been prominent for a while, destroy the Eastern Roman Empire and make the whole of Europe tremble, when did the Ottoman Empire begin to decline and be beaten by the European powers?

The answer is: it was the time when nationalism arose, and the modern army appeared! When civilized people are armed with ideological weapons and organized by cruel and strict military law, the glory of all once awesome barbarians is a thing of the past!

In the hundreds of years after the emergence of the modern army, the small European countries that first began to brainwash their citizens became the world's first-class powers, they seized the vast majority of the world's resources, not only in their own time to claim hegemony, even if they fell behind because of the struggle for power, they could still let their children and grandchildren live a comfortable and prosperous life!

And the "big empire" that still guards the people like thieves and fools the people with all kinds of outdated morality and religious ideas handed down from ancient times has paid a heavy price, not only for themselves to be humiliated, but also for their descendants to live with an inferiority complex for a long time afterward!

Although the rise of the European powers was not simply due to "brainwashing", there is no doubt that it was indeed one of the most important reasons for their success!
