Chapter Seventy-Five: Wang Taiwu (I)
Three days later, the information collected by Wang Xian was sent to the Iron Crown Mountain, a thick book, bound into a book, half a finger thick.
Because Yang Ji solemnly asked for help for the first time, Wang Xian was also very serious about this matter. He sorted out almost all of the books by himself, and even transcribed many of them himself.
Wang Xian's book mentions that Wang Tai has always been known for his strictness in the military. However, although he doesn't like martial artists, wealthy families, and various local forces, it is difficult to get close. But he is quite fond of people in the army, and often promotes some excellent young non-commissioned officers.
Of course, the premise is that your talent can be appreciated and cherished by him, so that he feels that you are a talent in this position. If you don't learn and don't learn the tricks, it will only backfire.
Wang Tai has always been harsh and merciless to those who go through the back door. If you want to get out of his relationship and get promoted, there will be no good end.
If you ask for it today, you may be kicked out of the team tomorrow.
Therefore, there is a lot of respect and love for this general Wang in the army.
"Great!"
When Yang Ji saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I'm not afraid that this Lord Wang is strict, but I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see his face. Yang Ji didn't want him to be promoted, but just wanted him to give himself a fair and fair evaluation in the martial arts assessment part.
Continuing to read, Wang Xian also mentioned in the letter that Wang Tai belonged to a typical radical hardliner in the army, and his toughest proposition was to eradicate the "barbarians" in the vast and wild jungles in the western border area.
Wage a series of military strikes against them until they are completely annihilated.
The western frontier of the Han Dynasty belonged to the "Taishang Continent", where the mountains were stacked, majestic and steep, and a qiē still maintained a primitive state.
In the wilderness, fierce beasts are rampant, and there are many fierce beasts. All kinds of ferocious poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous insects are infested everywhere. Compared to the various fierce beasts living there, even animals like the "Abyss Monster" are nothing more than first-class pigs and dogs.
What's even more terrifying, because it maintains its primitive appearance, in the deepest part of the wilderness, there are still a large number of giant beasts that survived by luck in the ancient, ancient, and even flood eras.
These ancient and ancient beasts pose a great threat to humans, but they are the guardian beasts of the barbarians.
The Han court fought several wars with the barbarians. They all suffered heavy losses and failed to completely eliminate them. On several occasions, the imperial court made a big decision to completely exterminate the barbarians.
It's a pity that once the imperial army occupies an overwhelming advantage, the barbarian tribes hide in the depths of the vast wild jungle. And as soon as the imperial army left, they came out and took the initiative to sneak attack, retaliate, and attack.
"When the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance." If you can't fight it, you will flee", this strategy of the barbarians is a headache for the imperial court. And it is impossible for an army of up to one million to be dragged in the west all the time, and the maintenance of various military expenditures is too large, so the imperial court has always adopted a defensive strategy in the western border.
Even in order to appease the barbarians, a certain border trade was opened to supply the materials needed by the barbarian tribes.
But Wang Tai believes that the barbarians are not an itch of mustard, but a problem of henchmen. The imperial court took "appeasement" measures. The continuous supply of materials needed by the barbarians has made the population of the barbarians increase in recent years. This is an enemy of capitalism, and it will become a great trouble in the future.
Such measures must be abolished as far as possible.
In addition, to deal with this kind of henchmanship, it is necessary to deal with it once and for all, and it is necessary to persevere and carry out the destructive blow to the end until it is eliminated.
In the process. Even if it comes at a heavy cost, it is worth it for future generations.
For this reason, Wang Tai even published several "scripture strategies" to talk about the danger of the barbarians and the pacification of the west. A strategy to destroy the barbarians.
It's a pity that Qu is high and low, and there are very few people in the court who have always echoed Wang Tai's ideas.
Wang Xian also explained the reason for Wang Tai's "high and low music". Regarding Wang Tai's proposition, he still agrees with it in private.
The barbarians are not a mustard itch, they have a population of millions, and they have been growing for several years. This is a very powerful force.
However, there is also a reason why the court does not support Wang Tai very much.
The court also made a great determination to completely exterminate the barbarians. It's a pity that those few large-scale operations have all failed, and the barbarians either avoid fighting or only launch sneak attacks.
The imperial court also died a lot because of this.
Here, too, Wang Xian specifically mentions the composition of the barbarians. The barbarians are not monolithic, but are divided into nine tribes. Or it is called the "Wild Nine Paths".
They originally had conflicts with each other, but several encirclements and suppressions by the imperial court not only did not eliminate them. Instead, it promoted unity among the nine tribes.
Moreover, the living conditions of the wild jungle are harsh, and even if the imperial court occupies it, it is useless.
In addition, the vitality of plants in the barbarian zone is particularly strong. There were generals of the imperial court who launched large-scale operations, throwing fire oil and burning a large area of the jungle.
At that time, even the soil burned black, and the next year, countless wild plants grew again, and the mountains were full of verdant green. The previous operation, completely failed.
After such a few troubles, the ambition of the imperial court immediately wore down a lot. There are also people who try to divide the barbarian tribes and provoke their contradictions, and they clash with each other, have internal friction, and interfere with the frontiers.
However, the races of the Han Dynasty and the barbarians are different, and there are essential differences, and if you disguise it, you will be recognized at a glance. So this strategy has also been shelved.
In short, many of these strategies look good, but in fact they are completely unfeasible. Wang Tai's proposition also belongs to one of them.
However, there are still many people in the army who support Wang Tai.
Wang Xian mentioned a very practical problem in the book. The imperial court opened a border trade in the western border, originally in order to heal the border troubles in exchange for peace.
But the barbarians don't understand etiquette, they don't know how to educate, and they don't think you're a favor at all. Instead, I think that what you gave me is what I deserve.
Basically, every once in a while, there will always be barbarians constantly coming out of the jungle, breaking into the city to harass, rob and kill. The imperial court also built a number of towering walls on the border to deal with these barbarians.
But the high walls that can be used to ban the "warriors" in the inland are useless against the barbarians.
Because the barbarians are fundamentally different from the inland warriors, they have a powerful fierce bird "barbarian pet", which can go high and high, and can completely ignore the walls of the imperial court.
For so many years, I don't know how many civilians have died at the hands of barbarians. The western frontier can be said to be suffering from this.
The imperial court also thought about dealing with the barbarians, but it was a pity that the fierce birds raised in the inland areas were more than one or two points weaker than these fierce birds in the wild primeval forests, and there was no advantage at all.
The only thing that really has the advantage is the floating warships of the imperial court.
Over the years, the imperial court has also killed many barbarians who invaded in. The piles of corpses can be stacked on top of a high wall. But the barbarians didn't know what death meant.
After the fact, the major tribes of the barbarian tribe also blamed each other, and they all said that they were from the other tribe. He also said that the barbarians were different from the Central Plains court, and they did not have so much control over the people below.
Pulling it around, it can only be over. And for humans, there really is no difference between barbarians and barbarians, as if everyone looks the same, and it is really impossible to distinguish from the people who are attacking here.
In the end, the only way to do this is to strengthen the defenses and try to annihilate all the invading enemies. It's just that the ferocious birds of the barbarians come and go like the wind, and they are extremely fast, and the effect is always not so satisfactory.
These things are relatively rare among the people, but in the military, military families like Wang Xian know it clearly.
Half a day in the family, I heard a lot, even if it was a secret thing, I could only know a little bit of it.
"What a problem!"
Yang Ji knocked on the table with two fingers, frowning deeply.
If you want to get Wang Tai's favor, you can only start from the western border. However, the complexity of the western frontier was beyond Yang Ji's initial imagination.
Almost all the methods that can be used and useful have been thought of and implemented by the imperial court.
There are also objective reasons why all Wang Tai's ideas have not been adopted. It's not that the imperial court doesn't know people and doesn't know about this situation. It's just that the reality doesn't allow it at all.
"The problem of the barbarians is related to the current government. A small martial arts boy, even Wu Xiucai has not been admitted for the time being, how can he solve such a big problem. ”
Yang Ji came and went, this kind of is too big. Originally, I thought that studying Wang Tai's "martial strategy" would be helpful for this martial arts examination.
Although the direction was correct, Wang Tai gave him a problem.
This kind of big problem, which involves the surrounding military forms and affects the whole body, has the audacity to interject, and to put it nicely, "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers" and "dare to think and dare to do", and to put it badly, it is "not knowing the height of the sky" and "not measuring their own strength."
If you don't get it right, not only will you not get the appreciation of General Wang Tai, but you will get the impression that "the ignorant are fearless".
"Fortunately, the martial arts strategy is a strategy, and it is a paper talk. I don't have to lead an army or sweep away the barbarians, I just have to think about strategy. There is still something to be done. ”
Yang Ji knocked on the table, thinking secretly in his heart.
With his current ability, the little martial arts boy wanted to pacify the border troubles and sweep away the barbarians, which was just an unrealistic delusion and a joke.
However, it is still possible to think about the strategy of fixing the edge, talk about the soldiers on paper, and make theoretical inferences.
This is also the place where Yang Ji still has hope in his heart. Otherwise, let him lead the troops to carry it out, and Yang Ji would only have the idea of dying early.
Yang Ji thought secretly, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts turned through his mind.
"Wang Tai is a general of the imperial court, and according to Wang Xian's words, he should also be quite famous. This kind of character is extremely high-minded, and it is useless to just compliment him and read his writings. There has to be something to say. It seems that some work is really going to be done. ”
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart. (To be continued......)
