Although Li Zhi's analysis and proposed methods seem to be feasible, there are still many problems.

Li Jing asked: "Has Your Highness ever thought that the enemy's soldiers are also good at cavalry and archery, and our cavalry is difficult to supply, so how can this really threaten the other party?" ”

Li Zhi said: "We don't have to go head-to-head with the enemy at all, we just need to survey the terrain in advance and launch a sneak attack while the enemy is unprepared." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth curled into his teeth and he smiled: "As long as our soldiers are capable enough, they can completely destroy one tribe at a time, and then everything they have will become our supplies." ”

Li Jing said: "How can Your Highness ensure that the soldiers' abilities are sufficient?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Of course, it is training, and the students have thought of some ways to help improve the ability of soldiers, and they want to ask the teacher to help refer to whether it is feasible." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's request, Li Jing said, "Your Highness can come and hear it." ”

To be honest, Li Zhi was not a pure military fan in his previous life, he just occasionally watched various videos about military affairs when he was extremely bored.

He was very impressed by the content of special forces training, which also prompted him to do some brief understanding of this aspect.

So he relayed all this knowledge to Li Jing.

Although these things are just some superficial things that can be displayed at will for modern special forces, they are a set of training methods that are thousands of years ahead of the current era.

Because the methods mentioned by Li Zhi are much stricter than the current common methods of military training, Li Jing did not understand some of these methods after listening to Li Zhi's explanation.

So he opened his mouth and asked Li Zhi: "It is understandable that His Highness emphasizes the ability training of soldiers, but I don't know why His Highness attaches great importance to the conduct and internal affairs of soldiers?" ”

The training methods that Li Zhi told Li Jing were mainly some reconnaissance, infiltration, assassination, and other training subjects.

The other is the strict discipline and standard housekeeping.

In Li Zhi's view, the reason why the people's army in the previous life was able to always maintain high morale and rigorous military appearance under all kinds of difficult conditions must be related to training in this area.

He opened his mouth and explained to Li Jing: "Students want to know whether an army's combat power is strong, in addition to advanced weapons and armor, the most important thing should be serious discipline and strong will. ”

He organized the language and continued: "The students felt that they should be able to develop this ability with rigorous conduct training and housekeeping. ”

Li Jing asked suspiciously, "How can you see it?" ”

Li Zhi said: "The drill training is carried out in all seasons, so the soldiers need to endure all kinds of bad weather, and in the long run, the soldiers' will will will become tough. ”

He continued: "It is a tedious task for soldiers to keep their internal affairs in order every day, and long-term perseverance not only wears away their impetuousness, but also indirectly improves their perseverance and obedience to orders. ”

Although Li Jing was well aware of the importance of orders and prohibitions, he only did so through harsh punishments when he was training.

At this time, when I heard Li Zhi's words, I suddenly felt very novel.

He asked with some hesitation, "Your Highness's method has never been implemented in the army, so how can it be so effective?" ”

Li Zhidao: "Students think of these things because they have taken human nature into account. ”

Li Jing asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Everything that the students put forward is against human nature, and if these natures of soldiers can be worn out by coercive methods, they will naturally obey other orders." ”

After hearing this, Li Jing thought carefully.

Li Zhi is right, strict training and management can indeed make soldiers get rid of many bad habits.

When they are forced to accept these changes, they will naturally become accustomed to other demands.

In this way, the obedience of the soldiers will naturally increase.

Thinking of this, Li Jing's eyes looking at Li Zhi became complicated.

He really couldn't imagine how Li Zhi could think of solving the problem from the perspective of human nature at such an age.

He decided to try it according to Li Zhi's words, and if he could succeed, then the art of war he summed up could be improved.

Thinking of this, Li Jing said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness's idea may work, and the old minister will show your Majesty and form an army to try." ”

Li Zhi said: "If the teacher needs it, the disciple should also try his best to assist. ”

Li Jing nodded, and then said goodbye to Li Zhi to meet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin has led the army for many years, and his military talent is not weaker than Li Jing.

Therefore, after listening to Li Jing's report, after a little analysis, he felt that this was a method worth trying.

So he hurriedly summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde and other generals to come to the Taiji Hall to discuss the establishment of an army of about 1,000 people for special operations.

When Li Jing once again finished talking about the new training method, the first person to stand up and oppose it was Lu Guogong and Hou Junji, the general of the Left Guard.

He opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the method of training soldiers proposed by His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Li Xiang is too illusory, and the combat strength of the soldiers may not be of any help. ”

Li Shimin asked with an "oh": "Why did Hou Aiqing say this?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty soldiers have been feared by the four Yi with their unity and proficiency in battle formations, and there is no deficiency in military discipline. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Jing and continued: "As for the personal ability of the soldiers, they don't have much impact in the battle of the army. ”

Li Shimin said: "I don't agree with Aiqing's words, you must know that my Tang soldiers have many deficiencies in personal ability in addition to the toughness of their soldiers when fighting with the enemy. ”

Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, the nomads have never been civilized and are barbaric, their growth environment is different from that of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and their physical strength is congenital, and the minister thinks that it is difficult to rely on acquired training to make up for it." ”

Li Jing said: "Lord Hou's words are arbitrary, there are many brave people in my Tang Dynasty, and their personal strength is all obtained from training, how can it be said that training is useless?" ”

Hou Junji said: "Which brave person in the army has not been trained since childhood, and it took more than ten years to succeed?" Can it be done in a short period of time? ”

Li Jing asked rhetorically: "How can Lord Hou determine that this matter is invalid without attempt?" ”

Hou Junji was a little speechless when asked by Li Jing's words.

The reason why he was in a hurry to come forward to oppose it was actually out of selfishness.

He was already interested in the crown prince Li Chengqian, so he has been secretly observing Li Zhi's actions recently.

Li Zhi's outstanding performance in the way of things had already brought a lot of pressure to Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Zhi has just begun to learn the art of war, he wants to intervene in the military, which in Hou Junji's opinion must not be easily agreed.
