Slogans are usually considered useless, but they are actually very useful. Especially in an era when cultural qualities are generally low, a slogan can concisely tell a group of people what they do. What is not done.

People cannot completely control a person. Even if you are the emperor, you cannot completely control a person's thoughts. If you want to be cohesive, you must have a spontaneous common consciousness. Why is it easy to rebel when the country is weak? Because many ordinary people are illiterate and illiterate, and propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame have no meaning to them.

At the same time, Li Mu also hid a selfish intention. This selfish intention is that he wants to "rejudgment one's personality" and change the soldiers' worship of the general or the emperor to loyalty to this country. On the surface, there seems to be no difference, but in essence, there is a fundamental difference.

All subtle changes start with shouting slogans.

Why do this? Because Li Mu knew the future direction of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many Jiedu governors, who held troops and rallied each other. Five Dynasties and ten countries appeared one after another. The Jiedu governors in their territory held real power, were arrogant and domineering, and the court suffered greatly, and the people suffered deeply. After the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin unified the country, he inherited the policy of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, strengthened centralization, and gradually seized the military, political and financial power of Jiedu governors. Emperor Taizong of Song also ordered all the branches and counties under Jiedu governors to be directly under the central government and go to the prefecture to govern government affairs. After that, Jiedu governors became awarded honorary titles. Since then, the history of China began to "emphasize culture and neglect military affairs".

After emphasizing culture and neglecting military forces, a deadlock emerged. Martial men who could fight were discriminated against, and the country had to use them under the circumstances. As a result, military supervisors were prevalent, and the trend of controlling border towns was popular with eunuchs and civil officials. This also gave a group of eunuchs like Tong Guan, civil officials like big and small, and the opportunity to perform. The problem is that many border town supervisors and military generals were disconnected, which made the army's combat effectiveness worse than one year. During wars, the army supervisors often had a high degree of constraints, which forced experienced military officers to obey the guidance of laymen. With the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains dynasty, the Song Dynasty won the title of a weak Song with the highest GDP value in the world at that time, because of this vicious cycle.

Li Mu did not want to face such a future. He did not want to have a military force in the Tang Dynasty, nor did he want to emphasize culture and over military affairs, so he had to start reform now.

He wanted to arm a group of "new recruits" with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. These recruits not only had the force to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but also were also a group of educated scholars and a group of well-trained lieutenants. They stood on the stage set up by Li Mu for them with the idea of ​​self-restraint and regaining etiquette, and became the fresh blood of the future of the Tang Dynasty. They were loyal to this country, not individuals, and they protected the people of this country, rather than safeguarding the interests of the emperor, and these ideas that could only be realized after thousands of years were realized. However, he wanted to try it out and approached subtly. All of this started with a simple slogan!

The neat team raised their chests and raised their heads. Everyone looked expressionless, raised their chins high, and stood proudly.

The entire team was like a straight long line, gathering into a neat square array, with each person's spacing and position not bad at all. Although they only trained for a few days, under the transformation of the "Military Training" charter that Li Mu personally experienced, these already excellent soldiers did it and did it very well. Everyone became chess in the square array. These chesses were a little excited, a little proud, and a little bravery, like a newborn calf who was eager to try.

The noise from afar came from time to time, and they were waiting, and the lieutenants waiting for the inspection were also waiting.

The night was already very deep. A crescent moon hung in the sky, but no starlight appeared. Occasionally, a meteor passed through the night sky with coolness, and the blazing light was so desolate and miserable. The wind blew up at some point, and at first it was a little gentle, stranded, waving the withered willow branches and leaves. Later, it became more and more rapid and powerful. The wind was twisting, almost as fierce as a bison. The bitter north wind was roaring. When the three-way drum, Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and a trace of elegance burst out from his eyes. His long boots suddenly began to yell: "Enter!"

The square formation quietly stepped forward in the sound of the wind, and the queue was neat and silent.

The Kongming Lantern in the distance became brighter and closer, and you could vaguely see the people who were blocked by the imperial guards outside the imperial road in the distance, the people who were stalking their heads stretched their necks, squinted their eyes, and looked at the end of the imperial road with breathing.

At this time, the noise was still, and everyone wanted to see what gimmicks the Luoyang Marquis made this time. At the same time, they also had a vague expectation for these lieutenants, wanting to see if they had the body like an iron tower and the fist of a casserole. Can they defend their country and win the battle!

There are also some leisurely people who are guessing in their hearts. One of the most popular narratives in Chang'an City recently, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Zhuge Liang's grace has become an idol in the hearts of many people through the mouths of various storytellers. They are wondering whether Li Mu's personality of showing off, would he imitate Zhuge Liang like Zhuge Liang, wearing a lumber scarf and a pair of feather fans in his hand, appear in the team.

Many speculations accompanied by countless expectations, everyone was staring at it and waiting with their breath.

Click...click...click...click...click...

At the end of the Imperial Path, there was a sound, a uniform sound getting closer and closer. If you listen carefully, someone would appear. This was the sound of the bluestone floor. Strangely, the sound was not like a person, but it was so neat.

Click...click...click...click...click...

Everyone's hearts were raised, and many speculations followed. If you listen carefully, this sound seemed extremely wonderful, with a unique rhythm, which made people feel a strong sense of oppression, as if Mount Tai was about to collapse in front of you, as if it was a prelude to the coming of storm.

Li Shimin also heard it. His face was slightly stunned. He distinguished the sound from the wind. He couldn't help but look at Li Mu in confusion, as if asking him, what is this?

Li Mu just smiled, looking unfathomable.

In the dark curtain, a series of figures appeared, as if they were coming from the darkness. They were expressionless, with their heads raised, and their steps were neatly moved. Every time the boots fell to the ground, a sound of trampling sounded.

Is this the military lieutenant?

Some people began to disappoint. It turned out that they only had one head and one body, and like everyone else, they had two arms and two legs. They were neither too burly nor as big as a casserole fist. They... were very ordinary.

But very, someone showed something, restrained their contempt and couldn't help looking at them like a monster. Are they... still human?

It's a human being, how could it seem that it's not angry at all, just holding its head up and just following the steps. Moreover, they are arranged too neatly. Although they keep moving forward, everyone's legs are lifted at the same time and fall at the same time.

It is like a mechanical one, but it gives people a sense of coldness that penetrates the heart in silence. They are like a city wall, indestructible. They are like a spear, able to tear apart any enemy that blocks them!

More and more queues appeared, and the steps were getting louder and louder, but there was still no trace of impurities, crisp and rhythmic.

The lieutenants with their heads raised their heads stepped past the end of the imperial road step by step, and were about to reach Chengtian's gate.

This is the lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty martial arts lecture hall. They only trained for a few days! At this moment, the expressions of all the military generals were frozen. When they knew Li Mu's training charter, they all had the same doubts as Su Dingfang. Some even thought that Li Mu was just a fool and he didn't know how to train soldiers at all. But seeing the effects that came out in the past few days, people with this kind of thought felt a fever on their faces, and the fact was ruthlessly slapped in the face. How did this kind of soldier be trained? It seemed that there were thousands of enemies in front of them, and they would step over without hesitation without hesitation.

What you want is such a soldier! Who doesn’t like such a soldier?

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded secretly. The feeling of uniformity made him sigh and said: "I think my Xuanjia Army is the best in the world, but seeing these martial arts lieutenants, they are definitely not inferior to my Xuanjia Army. They have only been practicing for a few days!"

Changsun Wuji walked to the side at some point and said quietly: "Your Majesty, are they looking at this place."

The words were vague, but a discerning person could still hear a hint of provocation. Your Majesty, look, this kid Li Mu has been training a sergeant for a few days, and he has such power.

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, blocked him back, and said, "Li Mu told me that the trained people in the martial arts hall are all the emperor Qin army. They raised their heads and looked at me." He pursed his lips, and had an impulse to shout to them twice, but he finally resisted the impulse and waved.

The team had arrived at Chengtian Gate, and suddenly, a clanging sound...

The sound of the long sword being unsheathed suddenly appeared. Su Dingfang drew his sword and pointed the blade towards the sky.

Everyone was shocked, and Changsun Wuji protected Li Shimin as soon as possible. Eunuch Gao also put his hand on the soft sword at his waist, and glanced at Li Mu from the corner of his eyes. Once he had any bad behavior, he might have to draw his sword and kill him.

What a joke? They suddenly drew their swords in front of the emperor, in front of concubines, princess, princesses, and relatives. What are they trying to do?

clang...

The lieutenants pulled out their swords in an orderly manner, and the sharp cold light of the Confucian sword emerged from the illumination of the Kongming lantern.

"Use my blood to ensure the country and the country are safe, and use my body to protect the country and the people! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The captain's voice roared out at the same time. With the sound of stepping, the long sword pointed at the sky like a forest, and then another sound was brushed. The long sword returned to the sheath at the same time, and the footsteps were roaring. The sound echoed with the cold wind, and the team gradually drifted away...

Fang's momentum was as powerful as a rainbow and murderous intent. Even the imperial guards holding spears next to the imperial road were shocked and almost sat down. This shock made the people outside the imperial road silent for a moment, and then bursts of crying. Even the scholar who was still somewhat reserved could not help but cheer.

Soldier model!

If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were like this, would they be afraid of Turkic cavalry or worried about Goguryeo invasion, whether it was Tuyuhun or Xueyantuo, who would dare to tease the tiger beards of the Tang Dynasty?!

A slogan, accompanied by the oppressive force emitted by the captains, was invisibly a stabilizer, allowing them to feel infinite security!

That's it!

"Long live!"

I don’t know who was the first to yell, but when someone is excited, he will inevitably need to vent his feelings.

"Long live!"

Everyone shouted, and some people shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live the Tang Dynasty!"

The people behind did not see what happened before, but their emotions were contagious. When they heard the people in front shouting, the people behind also agreed. The crowd became turbulent and became more and more intense.

Changsun Wuji was worried that something might happen, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, to avoid trouble, should we be here today, and let General Chang He take people to disperse the people--"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone shouting in his ear: "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"

You don’t need to guess who called him. Changsun Wuji frowned and said, “Marty of Luoyang, Your Majesty is here, many royal relatives are here, and children are here. It’s not good for you to make such noise.”

His voice was completely submerged.

Because it was not only Li Mu who was shouting, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and his son Changsun Chong, all the young men on the high platform were full of passion and shouting louder than Li Mu!

Changsun Wuji was speechless and thought to himself, why is Li Mu like a plague? He does anything with delusion. Things are to be done. If you shout slogans, you will defend your country? He was about to say something, but suddenly he heard someone shouting in his ears: "Defend the country and protect the country and the people,"

Changsun Wuji looked up and looked at Li Shimin who was flushed with excitement. He sighed, gritted his teeth and called down, and said, "Your Majesty, you have lost your composure!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he calmed down a little and his face turned redder. This time he was embarrassed. The sound of shouting long live on the mountain just now made people excited. This feeling of unity was exactly what he was pursuing and what he was looking forward to seeing. Being in this scene and making trouble occasionally was nothing. Li Shimin smiled, pointed down, and said to Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, listen, these calls!"

The sound of long live the mountain is endless, rumbling like waves hitting the beach, wave after wave, continuous.

"This is the voice of the people, Li Mu did a good job!"

Changsun Wuji knew what to say, but he could not change Li Shimin's view on this matter, so he had to avoid the important things and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how good the Lord of Luoyang did things, it would not cause riots. If something happened, it would be good or bad, and it would also make envoys from various countries laugh at me!"
Chapter completed!
