Those who care about military strength and Zhuge Liang's recent look
Seeing the recent debate on recruitment, I have been very lively. I can only say a few words.
First of all, if you put forward the point of view once, it is very fresh. If you repeatedly entangle, it will be meaningless.
Secondly, before talking, it is best to read this book again. Don’t skip it, and don’t mess up the contents of other books with this book. Liu Ming has never stopped recruiting. This article also mentioned military academy and recruit training many times. However, recruitment and training recruits take time. Moreover, Liu Ming eliminated Gongsun Du and fought with Dong Zhuo head-on, which once seriously lost troops. How many recruits are there alone? If you add up the soldiers who have already died, then how many soldiers Liu Ming has recruited? Have you ever calculated?
In addition, the military system of Chapter 376 stipulates the scope and scale of Liu Ming's future recruitment. If you don't read it, please read it again. Don't ignore what I have written and talk to yourself.
Finally, Liu Ming's current military force can indeed eliminate the joint forces of Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. But what after the extermination? How much will Liu Ming's troops be left? You should know that in the era of cold weapons, killing one thousand enemies will cause 800 damage to themselves. This is an unchangeable objective law. Unless it is used to use water and fire and other strategies in special terrain, some casualties can be reduced. However, if it is a siege, then casualties cannot be avoided. Moreover, the casualties on the side of the siege will only be greater. At this time, the world's pattern is not the only three families of Liu Ming, Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. After the extermination of Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, nothing will happen, and you can develop with peace of mind.
As long as Liu Ming attacks Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, in order to survive, the alliance between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo will definitely be closer. However, other princes who are concerned about Liu Ming's edge without Liu Ming's guarantee will also help Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo on the weak side. This is an inevitable trend in the development of the group's power and cannot be changed due to personal likes and dislikes.
If Liu Ming tries his best to eliminate Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, would other forces not be jealous of Youzhou's wealth? Instead, he is stupid to wait for Liu Ming to recover his strength and then destroy them? This is definitely unrealistic.
Even if Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, it was successful after the efforts and accumulation of many generations of Qin, rather than Qin Shihuang who started from scratch. In history, Cao Cao unified the north, which was not roughly completed in 184 and 208. How many years has it taken Liu Ming in the book?
Moreover, in history, the population had reached more than 50 million at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, it was at the stage of the three kingdoms' stalemate. The Wei Kingdom, the largest population, was only more than 9 million. And Liu Bei was extremely kind, and with the help of the peerless genius Zhuge Liang, the population was only 900,000. This is the benefit of years of war.
As for the theory that as long as the monarch is benevolent and moral, it is not good for joining the army, and the common people will also actively join the army, I don’t know if there is any factual basis. In history, Zhuge Liang’s benevolence in Shu was unparalleled. Even many years after Zhuge Liang’s death, the people in Shu were still thinking about Zhuge Liang’s goodness. However, even if Zhuge Liang was so grateful to the people, it is recorded in history that Zhuge Liang still had to be arrested for recruitment. Moreover, after the recruitment of the troops, he had to be comforted and explained the benefits and interests. So no soldiers fled.
In addition, too many soldiers are not necessarily a good thing. When the Song Dynasty had a large number of troops, there were more than four million, and there were not many victories, but the heavy military expenses seriously oppressed the central government's finances. And the famous troupe of the national army should know that those who are a little knowledgeable should be aware of it. The man and horse were pulled up quickly. But what the outcome is, I don't need to talk about it anymore.
In addition to these, Liu Ming recruited troops and was admitted based on the merits, which was also a question that restricted the speed of military expansion.
Thinking back to the time when Gongsun Du attacked Youzhou, Liu Ming was not in Youzhou, but Guan Ning and others, but in a very short time, how many people had he summoned? I have explained it before, so I won’t talk about it here.
But the question is, is it beneficial to recruit soldiers casually and everyone wants?
There is a saying among the people: A good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not join the army. This is a very terrible concept, but why does this concept exist?
That is because our feudal society has a very serious problem, that is, the soldiers and bandits are all! The people are not proud of being a soldier, but are ashamed!
But why do the people think so?
That is because the courts of all dynasties have put some prisoners, ruffians, and idle people in society into the army. This is called exile. Such low-quality officers and soldiers can treat the people well? What's more, in order to prevent them from escaping privately, the courts often make marks on their faces, which even more persecuted their dignity and distorted their hearts. How could they vent these on innocent people whenever they had the chance?
Cao Cao's soldiers now have this problem. Does Liu Ming, a person with modern education and military honor, have to accept everyone? After all, high-quality soldiers are always a minority.
After talking about the recruitment, I would like to talk about Zhuge Liang with my feet.
To be honest, it is really meaningless to talk about Zhuge Liang now. In my book, I mentioned Zhuge Liang, the great god. I don’t even have a shadow. Now I will talk about who he should follow. Where can I start?
Did Zhuge Liang have to appear? History has changed, wouldn’t he die among the riots? Wouldn’t he be at the grassroots level of Liu Ming’s army now?
There are too many variables. When you think about Zhuge Liang again, don’t use other books or history to measure them. The most important thing is the rationality that Zhuge Liang appeared in this book.
In addition, although online novels are fast food literature, I don’t have any classic works. However, I don’t want to write some fool series. The book I wrote is the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms in my heart, a description of a group portrait, and will not just write about one person. In my opinion, as a Peijiao, it should also have the rationality of its development. Is Peijiao destined to be an idiot? Peijiao destined to be unable to develop? Or did Peijiao be favored by God at all times, if you want to have soldiers, if you want to have generals, and then you are cruelly ravaged by the protagonist until you die?
Finally, I would like to talk about some idle words.
1. Liu Ming, with countless civil servants and generals, recruited millions of soldiers, destroyed Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, unifying the world within two months, occupying the world within half a year, and completing thirty books with only time, place, and events. Does anyone read such books? At least I don’t read them. That’s not a book, it’s the outline of the work and the diary of a madman.
2. Liu Ming, with the Five Tiger Generals and the Ten Strategymen, fought with Cao Cao who had nothing for several years, and was also extremely mentally retarded and stopped Liu Bei for several years. So what did Liu Ming's subordinates become? Is there anyone reading such books? At least I don't read them. That's garbage, and the autobiography of fools.
The above are some of my little feelings. I hope everyone will be happy to read the book and continue to criticize it. I just hope that everyone can try to find arguments and problems from this book to help me improve this book. Instead of using other books' views and meaningless arguments. After all, even the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 60% of them are fabricated. It is really meaningless to make up with fabricated comments.
Of course, if you have any hope, such as the development and ownership of the role, you are very welcome to mention it, but I hope to propose its rationality and balance.
Thank you all the book friends for asking the sky
Chapter completed!
