Chapter 247 Who are you fighting for? Why are you fighting?
A crescent moon slowly climbed up, the stars gradually faded, and the night was already deep.
Niu Gao, a few people who like to drink, came up to drink, shouted loudly and pointed at each other. He said that he didn't know what it was and that others couldn't understand. As long as there was someone around him, he was pulled over.
Wang Xiaoli and Li Yanxian moved aside, sat on the chair, and looked at the delicate crescent moon in the sky.
After a while, Li Yanxian said: "When I was chasing and rescuing Shanzhou at the beginning of the year, I only felt that the army of Dengzhou was very capable of fighting, and forced the Jin army to retreat in one battle. Today, I came to Xiangyang and realized that there were so many truths behind it.
.”
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Most of the things in the world are not difficult. If you really pay attention to them, study them carefully, and do them seriously, you will never do too badly. This is how my army is. Starting from me, all the way down
Soldiers have been studying wars over the past few years. The officers have studied how to command operations, the soldiers have studied how to cooperate on the battlefield and how to confront each other. In a few years, they have become what they are today."
Li Yanxian sighed: "If I hadn't heard the politicians, I wouldn't have known that I could lead troops like this. Most of the soldiers in Shanzhou were inspired to gather around me and live and die with me. There was a sense of excitement on the battlefield.
The energy of his qi is just as rough as he scrupulous as his men."
Wang Xiaoli looked at the sky. After a while, he said: "Everything has its pros and cons. It's so difficult to think of the best of both worlds! Now my soldiers and horses should have a better understanding of war than other armies. They are all about how to command and fight.
I have my own opinion. But there is a disadvantage that the morale of the army is not high. When the battle goes smoothly, the morale will naturally be like a rainbow. But the war is not going smoothly, which is very troublesome. I have always been cautious and basically do not participate in the battles I am not sure about, and I have not encountered any encounters.
In this situation, but during normal practice, you can feel it."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie remembered the failure to save Luoyang two or three years ago, and he rushed to the forefront, and his subordinates were full of morale. At that time, he thought about it as if he was dreaming. Now that he is large in scale, this army is no longer what it used to be.
.
Li Yanxian said: "People are always greedy for life and fear death. If they are not inspired by loyalty and righteousness, how many people can calm down on the battlefield? As generals, they must be as brave as dragons on the battlefield and cannot retreat at all. If this is not the case, how could the soldiers
Sacrifice your life and forget your death!"
Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "Our army is not what we observe. When it comes to war, no one will retreat unless there is an order to retreat. Why? Because all the generals and soldiers participating in the war know that retreating is easier than fighting.
If you lose, you will be more likely to die. If you practice a lot in your daily life, this view has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become an instinct."
Li Yanxian was stunned and said, "This is the first time I heard of this method. Most soldiers who entered the army were illiterate and did not understand many principles. It is not easy to let them understand such principles!"
Wang Xiaolei said: "So there have always been teachers in our army, just like teachers. Whenever we are free, we teach the soldiers to read. Over the years, most people can recognize some common words. Once they learn to read, many things will be fine.
Said it."
Reading and literacy can not only learn knowledge, but also broaden your horizons and broaden your thoughts. A society where most people know literacy is fundamentally different from a society where most people are illiterate.
Li Yanxian thought for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I listened for a long time, but I still don't know what the morale of the military in the fu fu said was not high. I heard what you said, soldiers are considered brave and have a firm fight. How could they have a military conspiracy.
What about morale?”
Wang Xiaoli raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. He said slowly: "Because people in this world are very strange. If you think that if you explain it thoroughly, everyone understands the truth, everything should go smoothly. But you don't know how to explain it thoroughly.
If you don’t understand this, people will have to think about it themselves and convince themselves. You have to tell them why they join the army and who they are fighting for. This principle doesn’t make sense, and there will be problems with the morale of the army.”
The Song Dynasty was established, and Song Taizu once said that he wanted to let all the martial artists in the world study. But not many years later, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, he was the one who wrote "Political Encouragement of Learning", but he clearly stated that military generals did not need to study, and even specially promoted them to illiterate.
Why is this happening to the general? Because in the eyes of some people, they are illiterate and rude, but loyal. Loyalty is the most important virtue in their eyes. Of course, in fact, loyalty or not has nothing to do with the general's illiteracy.
Not only this era, but in the past, many people believed that military generals and soldiers did not need thoughts, but only needed to execute orders. There were even many people who believed that once generals and soldiers knew the words, they would think too much, which was not easy.
manage.
Is this true? It depends on what kind of army it is. For some armies, it cannot be said that this is unreasonable. But Wang Xiaolie does not want such an army, he wants the people's army.
For whom to fight? Why to fight? These two simple questions are related to destiny for an army.
Li Yanxian shook his head. The nature of his own army and his style of leading troops made him not have any worries in this regard. Li Yanxian now cannot understand what Wang Xiaoli is worried about or worried about.
Chen Qiudao, Chen Yuyi and Wang Ruohai were impatient with the noise of several generals, so he came to Wang Xiaoliu and sat down.
Chen Qiudao said: "The two poliests talked happily here, I wonder what they were talking about?"
Li Yanxian said: "At the beginning of the year, the king suppressed the revenge of Shanzhou. Due to the urgent war, we did not have the opportunity to sit together and talk. Today, we were idle, so we just talked about gossip. We both still had Zhai Guan, who was in front of the Central Plains and needed to support each other.
yes."
Chen Qiudao nodded: "I heard that Wu Shu will lead his troops to Luoyang to the west, and there will inevitably be a big battle at that time."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Wu Shu is going to enter Shaanxi, at least he will not go south to Xiang Deng. We are not qualified to participate in the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops. As long as we keep a close eye on the place, don't be underestimated.
That's good."
Wang Ruohai said: "Wu Shuruo led his troops into Shaanxi, and he could lead the army into Luoyang and cut off his retreat!"
Wang Xiaolie smiled and shook his head: "Where did the Jin army get the retreat? After occupying Luoyang, Wushu was just a different way. The Central Plains have been abolished, and Luoyang's strategic value has been gone for half. In a short period of time,
Unless the Jin army moves the capital to Kaifeng Prefecture, it will be useless."
A few people talked about the current situation for a while, nothing new. The Central Plains became a scorched earth, and the strategic value of Luoyang was greatly reduced, and there was no reason for a war. The focus of the battle between the north and the south was Jiangnan, and the other was Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the middle was
It is the calmest.
Li Yanxian said: "I just heard Wang Zhenfu talk. What he is most worried about now is the morale of the army. I think I won two consecutive games this year, so why would I worry about morale of the army? Speaking of which, I realized that Dengzhou Army is different from me."
Chen Yuyi said: "In fact, the army is calm and the morale of the army has not changed much."
Wang Xiaoli sighed: "There is no change, it's just a worrying thing. In less than two years, we recruited 50,000 soldiers, but there were more than 3,000 deserters! Don't think that this matter is small, it's a big deal! The deserter left
After the army, they also gathered together into a gang and became a force. It can be seen that in their eyes, deserters are common. If this continues, how can it be done!"
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolien was a little helpless: "Sometimes, I said it too often, and some people thought I was too long-winded. Some even felt that what I said was unreasonable. Now that I have enough money and food, what are you going to worry about? I told you
You can't solve the problem of why the soldiers joined the army and who they fought for, and something big will happen in the future!"
During the War of Resistance against Japan, the largest source of troops was Sichuan. In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, more than three million Sichuan people left Sichuan to replenish the military's source. When Wang Xiaoli first read these, the propagandists were passionate. He said that all the Sichuan people would be in power and die.
How many people have been and how many people have returned, Chinese people can never forget Sichuan. Wang Xiaoliu was also excited when he first read.
What is the actual situation? Most Sichuan people leave Sichuan, and they are pulled out of the men. The men are drawn into the dark and cruel, and they are like prisoners on the road, strung together by straw ropes. Most people die on the road and have no chance to go to the battlefield at all. New China is just
There are many literary works in Sichuan dialect that have been established and accused La Zhuangdeng of many literary works. All kinds of tragic situations make people cry.
On one hand, a large number of Sichuan people participated in the war, while on the other hand, most of the strong men died on the road. How do people think about this efficiency? Should the Republic of China regime, which led to strong men, be responsible? A just war like the War of Resistance Against Japan, is like this reality.
What should people think?
Now Wang Xiaoli's army, military system and mobilization system have only a preliminary structure. If you don't pay attention, when it comes to the decisive battle, who can guarantee that the army and the regime will not look like a powerful man?
