Chapter 2433 The difference between commercial and military use(1/2)

 If the gods of later generations look at the battles in various wars, they can always find some points that can be pointed out, such as why a certain party does not know how to do this, or what is wrong with that party, or even

He would yell loudly, saying that repeating it over and over is just these methods, but he didn't even understand the basics?

As long as you have the keyboard in hand, why fear the world's heroes?

It's a pity that keyboard warriors never understand what war is.

Fei Qian did not dare to say that he understood war. He could only say that he understood to some extent that war was not the whole story of the world.

Fei Qian did not receive the report of the battle in Liaodong in time. Even if he knew that after Gongsun Du's death, two or three sons were still plotting against each other to inherit his inheritance, completely ignoring that foreign enemies had already touched the door, he might also make a sound.

I lament that the only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans cannot learn any lessons from history.

Just like after Yuan Shao died, several sons fought against each other.

In fact, Fei Qian was not very clear. The sentence he remembered was actually a partially distorted personal statement.

If old Mr. Hegel knew about it, he might not be able to help lifting the coffin board.

In the translated literature, if the butt is slightly crooked, it is easy to have such a problem. Just like the previous snowflake, this sentence was said by Hegel, but his meaning is not decadent helplessness, but

It means that we must keep pace with the times, because old history cannot solve new problems, just like the same river.

So what Hegel really wants to say is that just like a person cannot cross the same river twice, people and countries, note, not humans, but people and countries, every situation they encounter is brand new and unique.

, so it is impossible to stick to dogma, let alone copy historical experience.

Why did later generations take this sentence out of context? Which people changed the original people and countries into human beings, and spared no effort to spread this sentence from a high position? What do these people want to do?

Woolen cloth?

It's actually very simple. Anyone who knows it understands it.

Just like Fei Qian is facing Wei Yan now. Wei Yan was described in history as being unruly and unruly, with a bone in the back of his head that was difficult to control. So should Fei Qian take some precautions against Wei Yan?

First of all, what is certain is that Wei Yan is not stupid.

If Wei Yan really had a problem with his IQ, it would have been impossible for him to have served as the governor of Hanzhong for so many years in history, to have become a barrier to the north of Shu, and to have participated in the Northern Expedition several times. Then why did such a person become like a fool in history?

What are the real facts?

Therefore, if you rely on copying historical examples to deal with matters, thinking that you have a mastery of statecraft after reading the Spring and Autumn Annals a few times, or that you understand the strategy just by remembering the names of the Thirty-six Strategies, I am afraid that big problems will arise.

Wei Yan may not be the Wei Yan in history, or the Wei Yan recorded in history books. Fei Qian had some experience with this before.

Therefore, not only did Fei Qian not deliberately play tricks on Wei Yan, but he learned that Wei Yan was coming, so he brought some officials to greet him outside the city. Wei Yan had not seen Fei Qian for many years since the last time he was in Sichuan and Shu.

After seeing Fei Qian personally greeting him, he couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears with excitement.

After eating and drinking at the Yingfeng Banquet, and repairing for a few days, when Wei Yan arrived at the Husband's Mansion again, he was not in the main hall, but Fei Qian let him go to the side courtyard.

Wei Yan was a little surprised, but also more moved. Because in the concept of the Han Dynasty people, if it is the main hall, then it is a formal place to discuss official matters, but in this side hall of the Huqi Mansion, some people do not regard Wei Yan as

To Wei Yan, it at least represented an honor.

Historically, Wei Yan fought against Yang Yi. On the one hand, there were Wei Yan's own reasons, and on the other hand, there may be some hidden methods behind it. After all, the communication itself in the Han Dynasty was not developed in history, and one was in Hanzhong for a long time, and the other was mostly located in Chengdu.

Don't you think it's a strange thing that two people say bad things about each other, and they can be conveyed to each other's ears promptly and accurately?

At present, Wei Yan has no such opponent. There are more generals above Wei Yan. To a certain extent, Wei Yan is only a junior. And among the hussars, those who are recognized by the soldiers are even more recognized than Wei Yan.

There are many generals who are more respectful and dignified, such as Xu Huang, who is beside Fei Qian, is one of them.

For a military general, especially someone like Xu Huang and Wei Yan, as the commander-in-chief of an army, it is not just his personal martial arts that is tested. Perhaps Wei Yan's one-on-one combat is not weaker than that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

A fierce general, but if we look at it as a whole, Wei Yan's partiality is actually quite obvious.

Especially during the grand strategy, Wei Yan's shortcomings became more and more obvious.

In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it doesn't seem to be shown. Perhaps Mr. Luo wanted to show that Zhuge Liang counted five hundred years before and five hundred years after his death. After his death, he not only scared off Sima Yi, but also calculated Wei Yan's intrusion into the Chinese army's account.

Therefore, most of the time before, Wei Yan belonged to the Wu Yong Fake Defeat Team. He often failed to fight and pretended to be defeated. This routine was used no less than ten times.

But in real historical battles, it is not just bravery that is tested.

The main highlight of Wei Yan is that he was the governor of Hanzhong.

During the Battle of Hanzhong, Wei Yan was not ranked first. After all, there were Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others before him.

Therefore, both historically and currently, Wei Yan's qualifications are still somewhat weak.

But Xu Huang is different.

Historically, Xu Huang himself was a general who tended to be a commander-in-chief. It can be said that under Cao Cao's account, Xu Huang's record was second only to Xu Chu, and his gold content was very high, and he participated in most of the battles under Cao Cao.

And now, the same is true. Xu Huang has more experience in battle formations and commanding soldiers, and has also commanded several battles with tens of thousands of troops. His personal force is no worse than Wei Yan. Wei Yan naturally cannot

He was very angry in front of Xu Huang, but he was also respectful and courteous when meeting Xu Huang.

Fei Qian said to Xu Huang: The reason why the two generals gathered here this time is mainly for the transfer of defense between Sichuan and Sichuan. Wen has been in Sichuan and Sichuan for many years and knows the local conditions well. He is also good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and he has a lot of experience in public affairs.

, if there is anything you don’t understand, you should ask directly to the author, and you should know that everything can be said without exhaustion.

Wei Yan felt light on his face and naturally responded loudly.

Fei Qian nodded and said to Wei Yan: Gongming is good at running the army and has the ability to plan. The three auxiliary military fortresses in Guanzhong are all made by Gongming. Wen Chang may wish to ask for more advice, and he will definitely gain something.

Wei Yan bowed his hands to Xu Huang again, showing no arrogance at all.

Xu Huang humbly said that we should learn from each other.

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

Maybe it's one thing in front of someone, but it's another thing behind someone's back, but even that doesn't matter. After all, at this moment, some military changes are already quietly taking place.

Fei Qian took Xu Huang and Wei Yan to a wing connected to the side hall. Inside these rooms were large sand tables built according to the map, including the terrain of Sanfu in Guanzhong, Yinshan in the North, Hanzhong in Sichuan and Shu, and Longyou in Longxi.

All.

Fei Qian had people put the sand table of Sanfu in Guanzhong and the sand table representing Sichuan and Shu together, placing them side by side in front of him, and then pointed to the white line representing the road in the sand table, as well as the red military strongholds arranged around the white line.

He said: This is Guanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan. Can you tell anything about the military layout and road conditions?

The sand table representing Guanzhong has many white lines intertwined into a network. The red military stronghold is like a spider in the web, waiting for its prey to come. The sand table in Sichuan and Shu are almost familiar, but

The obviously red military villages are relatively close to Chengdu, and there are relatively few in the east and south of the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin.

Xu Huang and Wei Yan didn't understand Fei Qian's meaning for a moment, and neither spoke immediately.

Fei Qian pointed to the network-like white roads in Guanzhong and said: The roads in Guanzhong originally meant business roads, which were mainly based on business. Do you know the disadvantages of business roads?

Disadvantages of business ethics?

Xu Huang and Wei Yan couldn't help but repeat it either softly or silently. To be honest, they had never considered this issue.

When Feiqian established the entire commercial economy, there was no extra money to build roads, so many of the original roads were opened by caravans themselves.

Businessmen, in order to pursue profits, can take risks and disregard the law, let alone build a road just to make money.

As far back as legend has it, when the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor, and Yao, Shun, and Yu were the tribal leaders, transportation in China had already made significant progress. By the second millennium BC, there were already people in China who could provide ox carts.

and broad roads for horse-drawn carriages.

Of course, this width is relative.

By the time of the Shang Dynasty, the so-called merchants themselves were merchants, and these merchants had records of building and maintaining roads in order to sell goods. The ancestors of Shang Tang rode cattle and horses, did business over long distances, lighted wheeled vehicles, etc.

The scientific and technological points revealed the history of using animal power as the driving force for transportation. After long-term development in the Xia and Shang dynasties, by the Western Zhou Dynasty, it can be said that China's roads had begun to take shape.

During the Zhou Dynasty, a special wide and flat avenue called Zhou Road was even opened between the two capitals. Then, with the two capitals as the center, it spread in all directions and built radial roads of different levels, which became

The most basic road system in China.

Not to mention the Qin Dynasty, Chidao, the earliest national highway in China, surpassed all countries in the world at the same time in terms of strategic thinking and actual road length.

And the Han Dynasty?

To a certain extent, the Han Dynasty did not develop road construction projects again on the basis of the Qin Dynasty. The only thing that can be commended is the opening up of the overland Silk Road. The reason for this is that in the early Han Dynasty, hundreds of wastes were made.

When it was about to be prosperous, the economy was very poor. On the other hand, the Han Dynasty adopted the mode of enfeoffment of counties and states. A large number of states within states led to the rampant regional economies. In order to collect business taxes, dozens or hundreds of villages were even set up on a road.

If you collect money at checkpoints, how can the road develop better under such circumstances?

It can be said that except for the Silk Road, the Han Dynasty's road expansion was very poor, not as good as the Tang Dynasty.

The next time China opened roads on a large scale, especially in eastern and southeastern China, it was during the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was also a time when commerce and trade were highly developed.

However, relying solely on business to open up roads does bring certain conveniences, but it also brings certain problems.

Xu Huang pondered for a moment, and basically figured it out. He pointed to some relatively remote areas. The caravans focused on profit, so if there was no profit, there was no way to go.

Fei Qian nodded in approval.

This is the biggest problem for businessmen to open up roads.

Let’s not talk about areas that are difficult to pass, such as mountain roads and dangerous shoals. Just talking about the general situation, the comparison between Guanzhong and Sichuan is very obvious. In Guanzhong, because of its large population and densely packed townships, roads extend in all directions.

In the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin, although it is surrounded by mountains like Guanzhong, it is obvious that there are many more roads in western Sichuan than in eastern Sichuan. Apart from some geographical reasons, the biggest problem is that Brazil is densely populated and has good trade.

Badong is relatively sparse and has few interests, so basically there are no other roads except a few important official roads.

Things that businessmen cannot do must naturally be considered from the perspective of soldiers.
