ps: Thank you very much for the reward from Douban dad, and other brothers who gave monthly tickets, so I won’t list them one by one.
Li Chengzhong didn't take the vague threat in Wang Sitong's words to heart. He could understand the other party's resentment. Wang Sitong was several years younger than him. In Li Chengzhong's time and space, he was still studying in university.
It's normal to be a little angry sometimes, but Li Chengzhong regarded it more as a sign of anger.
"Dejian, Shujun, I've always wanted to talk to you, and today is the right time to open up and talk about what's on my mind. What is your dream? What kind of wishes do you have? What achievements do you hope to achieve in the future? What do you want to do?
What will happen?" This kind of inspirational psychotherapy has always been a magic weapon for heart-to-heart talks between officers and soldiers in the army, and Li Chengzhong used it easily without leaving a trace.
Dreams? Wishes? These two words are very unfamiliar, but they roughly understand the meaning. Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong focused their attention on the word "accomplishment", and they immediately fell into a brief confusion, and then their eyes became clear again.
"Of course we should revitalize the family business and let the Li clan take the lead!" Li Chengyue quickly answered Li Chengzhong's question with a firm tone. Although Wang Sitong was still upset, he remained patient in the face of Li Chengzhong's direct gaze.
nodded.
"Well... family business..." The ancients' thoughts were very traditional, so Li Chengzhong, a "modern person", seemed to have a tendency to deviate in the direction of induction from the beginning. He quickly found a way to pull it back, and said in a persuasive way: "Okay,
Will the revitalization of the family business fall on these two brothers?"
"This is natural."
"In other words, how far can the two of you reach, and how far can the family business be revitalized?"
"nature."
"What do you two want to achieve? What achievements do you want to achieve?" Li Chengzhong finally brought the topic back to the right track.
"To command thousands of troops, to be granted the title of marquis!" Li Chengyue's answer was ideal.
"Among thousands of troops, taking the head of an admiral is like searching a bag for something!" Wang Sitong's answer was even more legendary.
"Very good!" Li Chengzhong congratulated him with a high-five, and then changed the topic: "Defeat Liu Shouguang and recapture Youzhou. This is our common goal. But what happens next? Do you two still want to fight with me in the Central Plains? Meet the characters of the Central Plains?
"
"Of course!" Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong said in unison. Li Chengyue noticed a hint of Li Chengzhong's thoughts and asked again: "Zicheng, are you afraid that someone will not listen to orders? Don't worry, brothers of someone will definitely be the only ones.
You are following your lead!"
Li Chengzhong smiled: "I believe in you, Dejian, and Dredging, and I also believe in the Gao brothers. If I send my troops south, you will definitely follow me. However, I also want to ask a question. When the prince conquered Wei Bozhi,
At that time, we were united as one, but after the first battle, we, Lulong, failed to recover. Why is this?"
The first battle that Li Chengzhong participated in after time travel was the Lulong Army's southern expedition to Weibo. This battle was the most concerted battle among the military leaders of all parties after the entire Lulong Army had been recuperating for nearly five years. In the extreme "battle for hegemony in the Central Plains"
Under the seductive slogan, all the major military leaders of the Lu Long Army actively contributed their efforts. They gathered the best of the entire military town and headed south, uniting around the commander Liu Rengong. Li Chengzhong did not want to discuss how this battle failed. The question he raised was
, why the losses in this battle were so heavy.
In fact, this is a well-known problem. After the defeat at Weizhou City, the Lulong Army retreated northward in a hurry. Affairs and military orders were very confusing. Each department wanted to maintain its own strength and scrambled to flee, causing the army to collapse thousands of miles away. Before deciding to withdraw,
On that night, Liu Rengong had assigned the order of retreat to various units, including which ones should go first and which ones should go later, which ones should cover, which ones should resist the enemy, where to retreat to, and how to march. But the result was that as soon as the army walked a few miles, all the troops
It collapsed. No one wants to block the knife for others, everyone wants to go first. What is the commander-in-chief's order, what is the unified dispatch, why should I care so much?
This is the concentrated expression of Shantouism thought. Perhaps they can still unite together when the trend is favorable, but as soon as the wind direction changes, a huge weakness is immediately exposed. The result of Shantouism thought is that everyone wants to escape unscathed, but who will end up with it?
They were unable to escape unscathed. They were beaten to pieces by the pursuers and suffered heavy losses. Even when they encountered a surprise attack by German soldiers midway, they had no courage to resist.
On the way back to the north, all the elites were lost, and the Lu Long Army entered a trough.
"Why did the army mutiny on the night of Da'an Mountain?" This was Li Chengzhong's second question.
If the tragic losses after Wei Bo's defeat can be covered up by previous defeats, then the harm of Shantouism ideology in the Da'an Mountain Mutiny is even more obvious. The superficial reason and trigger is the military's war on Yes and Yes.
There are differences, but the root cause is that the military leaders of all parties support their own troops. Liu Shouguang, Zhao Ba, Zhao Jing and others each support large armies, and have extremely close relations with Zhou Zhiyu, Gao Xinggui, Gao Xingzhou, Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong
The tension was so intense that even Liu Rengong himself could not control it, and the two camps were in a hostile situation. In Liu Shouguang's volunteer army, the existence of large and small professional warrior groups caused a mutiny in the army, which directly led to the chaos that night.
.
Hearing Li Chengzhong's second question, both Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong were silent. The existence of Shantouism is the foundation of Li and Wang. Although both of them understand the shortcomings, who really wants to start from themselves?
I can’t bear to part with it. Without the soldiers in hand, can we still be considered a wealthy family in Youzhou? Can we still establish a foothold in Youzhou?
"What is the difference between what the governor is doing and that rebellious son?" Wang Sitong snorted coldly. He was talking about Liu Shouguang after Wei Bo's defeat. At that time, Liu Shouguang tried his best to encourage the general Liu Rengong to reorganize the army and wanted to achieve the unification of power and military orders. In order to
In this matter, many Youzhou wealthy families joined forces to exert pressure, which ultimately caused Liu Rengong's plan to reorganize the army to fail.
"Of course it's different. When the commander-in-chief organized the army, he wanted to have administrative power, unify military orders, and suppress various wealthy families. He mainly focused on the direct troops such as the Yamen Army and the Yier Army. It seemed feasible, but it was just to suppress the rest and single-handedly focus on the central army.
That's all. We suppressed the generals of the Youzhou Army and erected countless hills in our own army. Three or two years later, it was still the same. This was just changing the soup without changing the medicine. But in our Yingzhou Army, there will no longer be
At the top of the mountain, the Yingzhou Army is unified and unified. If an officer dies in battle, I will send another officer to the soldiers. If the soldiers die in battle, I will send another group of soldiers to the officer. The soldiers will not lose because there is no officer.
If they lose their jobs, the officers will not lose their status because all the soldiers are gone. Such an army is the real power of affairs and unified command and authority!"
Recruitment of the army in this era was quite fast. As long as you had money, food, establishment, and a banner, martial groups of all sizes would gather under the banner after hearing the news, and you could immediately build a team.
Regardless, it is very easy to form an army. Not to mention the Central Plains, just as far as the land of Hebei is concerned, there are countless military leaders, large and small, traveling in all directions. They have been eating this food for generations. If you are treated well, I will
Bring the brothers under your command. If his official position is high, I will go to him and serve.
In addition to recruiting warrior groups as the backbone, the generals will also recruit a large number of farmers and rangers to join the army. Those who are strong and healthy will be incorporated into the auxiliary army, either as healthy soldiers or as brave warriors. The weak, old and young will become civilian servants accompanying the army.
Carrying grain and pushing carts, so large armies often marched in tens of thousands. When the warriors in the inner circle died in battle, the survivors in the auxiliary army were promoted to new warriors, and this was the case from generation to generation.
Therefore, Liu Rengong's idea of reorganizing the army has not changed in essence. It may be effective for the first one or two years, but as time goes by, his army will naturally divide into countless mountains.
What Li Chengzhong told Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong was that the Yingzhou Army was fundamentally different from other armies. This was the real authority and unified military orders. If the Yingzhou Army is a new "whole army," then this whole army will
It was more thorough and even more shocking to Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong.
"Why do armies fight? Why do generals fight?" Li Chengzhong continued to ask questions.
If there had not been a lot of foreshadowing before, then Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong would not treat these two issues separately, but would treat them as one. Because in this era, the army is the general, the general is the army, and the army is dependent on the general.
, the two are equal and the same. But at this moment, the two people immediately noticed the difference, and then began to think about this issue seriously.
Li Chengzhong did not continue to struggle with these two questions. These two questions involved too many areas and were full of idealism and humanism. If we answer these two questions now, it is indeed a bit unrealistic. We only need to raise the question
It would be nice if Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong thought about it.
"To be honest with Dejian and Shujun, Li Chengzhong's Yingzhou Army is a big hill, but there is only one hill! This hill will continue to expand in the future and become a high mountain. It will be a real high mountain, not a low mountain.
The low hills, all the stones, and the soil are part of this high mountain. Without this high mountain, they are nothing. Only when they are gathered together can they become a high mountain. It is now protecting Yingzhou from wind and rain, and it will still be in the future.
It will protect the entire Lulong from wind and rain. Only if each of us squeezes in one place, this mountain will become stronger and stronger. If we all want to separate and stand on the top of the mountain, then this mountain will gradually become
The hills will eventually turn into flat fields, and in front of our Lu Long Army, strong winds will rage!
As you said, revitalizing the family business is your ideal. So, which one is safer, a home sheltered by low hills or a home supported by towering mountains? As for the prosperity of the family business, you two
If our merits are enough, will the family business decline instead? When all of us work together to protect the family business, aren’t we also protecting each of you’s own family business?”
Li Chengzhong did not expect that Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong could change their minds with just one word and bow to his impassioned words. This was completely unrealistic. Important matters involving the family were not something that the two of them could decide on their own. But he hoped that he would be able to make their own decisions.
The idea was passed to Youzhou through the two people, not only letting the three wealthy families know, but also letting all the military and general families in Youzhou know that Lulong, it is time for change. Those who agree with this concept, I
Li Chengzhong welcomes you to join. If you don’t agree, the wheels of the Yingzhou Army will run over you!
Perhaps this concept will push many military generals and families to Liu Shouguang's side, but that's fine, let's let all the problems be solved together. What needs to be opened up in front of the Yingzhou Army is a broad road without obstacles. (
