Chapter 28 Collective Leadership
In the state office, Wang Xiaolie was sitting in the middle, with several military commanders sitting on both sides.
Putting the plans submitted by several people on the table, Wang Xiaolie said: "I have read all the plans you each submitted. In my opinion, the one written by Zhang Jun and Niu Gao is the best. However, the one written by Niu Gao
Don’t write too many words, you’ll have too many guesses!”
Niu Gao stood up uneasily, crossed his hands and said: "I have been poor since I was a child and have never studied. I will forgive you, Zhizhou!"
Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and told Niu Gao to sit down. He said, "I know. But you have to know it yourself. If you don't know much about literacy, you have to work harder. Whether you are an official or a soldier, you must be literate.
There is nothing to discuss."
Niu Gao said yes and sat down.
Wang Xiaoxing said: "Zhang Jun's writing is strong in that it is very clear from departure, marching, camping, reconnaissance, and classification. Although Niu Gao's writing is not perfect, it grasps the main idea of what to do with the army accurately. For
After setting up camp, you have your own ideas on how to conduct reconnaissance and how to prepare for battle. The others cannot be said to be bad, but they are just too mediocre. They just completed this task according to what the instructor taught after being taught by instructor Lin."
Shao Ling said: "This general is not smart, and he is unworthy of Xiaosheren."
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "What's wrong with not being smart! Everyone has his own strengths, and naturally he has his own weaknesses. On one hand, he may be a little worse, on the other hand, he may be a little stronger. This is normal. We are a collective together.
Knowing everyone's strengths and weaknesses makes it difficult to gather everyone's wisdom and get things done. Now is the drill, and you may still be competitive. After you get familiar with each other, especially in wartime, you will be able to cooperate closely.
If we give full play to our respective strengths, there will be unimaginable great uses.”
Xie Li Nongdao: "I heard people say that when the Jin people fight, they gather the generals together to discuss matters before the battle. Only when the discussion is clear and everyone has their own division of labor can the battle be brave and invincible and avoid chaos. What Xiaoshe said is probably the method of the Jin people.
?”
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "What is the Jin man's method? This is the case for anything in the world. Any major matter must be fully discussed first, listen to everyone's opinions, and form a collective opinion. Everyone understands what is going to happen.
What kind of thing you are doing and what you are responsible for. Isn't this the case with important political affairs in the court? It's just that the military does not let the subordinates know about it because military aircraft are of paramount importance."
Having said this, Wang Xiaolie calmed down his thoughts and said: "The Jin people originated from the mountains and rivers and made a living by fishing and hunting. Before the destruction of Liao Dynasty, there was no country, no officials, and a small population, almost no different from savages."
To be honest, if we go back two thousand years, we Han people are also like this. Now the army of the Song Dynasty cannot defeat the Jin people. There are many reasons, but we can't guess. If we do something wrong, we should correct it. But what to change and how to change it, in my heart
You must have an idea. You can't just look at what the golden man does, and you have to do what you want. Nowadays, many of the girls who are giving birth to girls are like hair and blood. Do you want to learn from it? Isn't that a step backwards? You understand in your heart that the most important thing is!"
Several people stared at Wang Xiaolie in bewilderment, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. Indeed, the Jin people originated from the mountains and rivers, and their production and lifestyle were very primitive. But on the battlefield, the Jin people were not afraid of death and were invincible. No
It’s just that the Song army couldn’t defeat the Jin, and the Liao army couldn’t defeat it either. Or, in terms of battlefield performance alone, the initial Jin army may have been the most powerful army in the past few hundred years. Even the later Mongolian army, when it first started
The combat effectiveness may not be that powerful. Many Song generals consciously believed that the reason why the Jin army was so powerful was because they were primitive enough.
This is a universal problem. There is no complete and independent political theory or military theory, and many generals understand the problem from a perceptual basis. Instinctively, they believe that generals must be bold, decisive, murderous, not indecisive, and not be like women.
Benevolence. Even some generals will deliberately eat human flesh and peel off human skin, thinking that this is their characteristic to intimidate others.
For example, "Yi Jian Zhi" records that the famous general Yang Zheng at this time had dozens of concubines in his family. If he was not satisfied with his wishes, he would kill them with a stick and skin them and hang them up. At this time, Bi Jin, who was under Yue Fei, had a son.
The famous general Bi Zaiyu. Bi Zaiyu made great achievements on the battlefield, but he was fond of cannibalism. This custom has many sources. One is passed down from the Five Dynasties, and the other is learned from the Liao and Jin Dynasties.
When warriors are in power, such anti-civilized behavior often occurs, and even the world is accustomed to it. For example, in the famous book "Water Margin", the heroes often take people's hearts and drink them. In this era, it is not considered anti-humanity, and some even
people still talk about it.
Anti-civilization will have no good results. Civilization will definitely defeat barbarism, even if it is a war. Even if civilization gets sick for a while, as long as it can persevere and correct its own problems, barbarism will definitely fail.
Wang Xiaolie admired the military, and was very vigilant in learning from the Jin Army's behavior and thoughts, and was on guard at all times. If he couldn't defeat the Jin Army, then he would learn and train how to defeat the Jin Army. But he should not be willing to degenerate and not correct his own problems.
But learn from Jin Jun's behavior.
After slowing down, Wang Xiaolie said: "There are many reasons why this dynasty cannot defeat the Jin Army. I know many people think that the Jin Army can fight because they are primitive and barbaric enough. The Jin Army also thinks so,
So they will capture the Jurchens as their own elite soldiers. However, we humans are walking step by step from rough hair to drinking blood, and we are always moving forward. If we retreat, it means that humans are sick. When the Jin soldiers broke through Kaifeng Mansion, they must first be sure
If we can fight, if we can't fight, we won't be able to destroy Liao in a short time and break Kaifeng. And the reason why we can't defeat the Jin is not because we are not barbaric enough, but because there is something wrong with our army and our military system. We know something is wrong.
Problems, just solve them, don’t think too much!”
Seeing Wang Xiaolie's solemn expression, several people hurriedly said yes.
Looking at the crowd, Wang Xiaolie said: "We are studying and practicing together now. We are looking for problems in the army, not just which one to compare. If you don't realize this, it means you haven't really entered into it mentally.
state!"
Several people say yes.
Shao Ling, Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan, Yu Huan and Niu Gao couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun together. Hearing what he said in the restaurant was very reasonable, but they didn't expect to understand after listening to Wang Xiaolie that what Zhang Jun thought was too much.
Simple.
After speaking, Wang Xiaolie picked up the plans written by several people and said: "I have made comments on each of you. First of all, let me explain that the comments are only my opinions, which may or may not be correct. I will give you three
We will eat and live together on the same day, use these plans as a reference, and discuss a more suitable exercise plan. Don’t be lazy, you must take it seriously!”
After hearing this, several people hurriedly crossed their hands and sang the promise together.
Wang Xiaolie said: "There are too many affairs in the state, and I don't have time to spend time with you. So I can only take a look at it and write a few comments. You can discuss what is suitable and what is not suitable. Don't worry too much. Three
We will implement the plans for the future."
Shao Ling whispered: "Xiao Sheren, don't you need to read the plan in three days?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "What did I do? You made your own plan, are you still not able to do it well?"
Shao Ling said hurriedly: "Of course it's well done. Xiaoshe people can rest assured."
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and then said: "Actually, there is a name for doing this."
Shao Ling said: "I don't know what the name is?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "This is called collective leadership. Before anything happens, whether it is political or military affairs, a full discussion is carried out. Based on everyone's opinions, a decision is formed and then implemented. The army is not just led by one person or a few people.
Rather, it relies on the wisdom of everyone. The general is the person who organizes the discussion and the person who makes the final decision. When a decision is made, from the general to the generals below and down to every soldier, it must be strictly implemented according to the decision. After such a decision is formed, only then can the decision be made.
Strict discipline is required!”
Everyone nodded together after hearing this. They seemed to understand, but they seemed not to understand.
Collective leadership is a system formed by later generations. It is implemented from top to bottom. From the highest-level leadership decision to the "Zhuge Liang Meeting" held by soldiers before the war, there are many links. A big battle plan, just like this
It is broken down layer by layer. What I am determined to do is not worth mentioning in front of this kind of collective leadership, and it seems like a joke.
As he gradually became familiar with the system of the army taught by Instructor Lin, Wang Xiaolie began to deliberately incorporate the experience of later generations. When these experiences gradually became the system, officers and soldiers gradually became habits, and the new army gradually became
