Chapter 5362: Exchange heart for heart to gain military morale
Qinglong nodded and said sternly: "It is indeed as Lord Xuanwu said, fighting is a high-risk matter. Soldiers are dangerous and dangerous, and it is not a joke. After you have become rich and powerful, if you want people to risk their lives, then
It's even harder. In fact, most of Liu Yu's earliest brothers died in the battle at Wuqiaoze. After he returned to Jingkou from the grassland, he was able to raise a new army, and most of them were
These people are no longer the first-generation Beifu soldiers who joined the army with him since Feishui, but the nephews and descendants of these people."
Zhuque said thoughtfully: "Yes, Tan Daoji, Wang Zhene, including Liu Zhong, Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Chaoshi, and Meng Huaiyu, none of them participated in the Battle of Feishui. After Liu Yu came back from the grassland,
, took these people to fight in the Battle of Luoyang, and fought against Murong Yong's Xiyan troops. It was only from this battle that he gained the trust and support of these second-generation Beifu, followed by Sun En's troops, Liu Yu's
In the process of countering the rebellion, he gained many loyal subordinates. He broke away from Liu Laozhi's troops to work alone and became a general. He also had the ability to decide on his own to report the merits of his subordinates and to claim credit and reward from the imperial court."
Qinglong said coldly: "Yes, at that time, with Wang Miaoyin's help and Mrs. Xie's face, Liu Yu's reported achievements were often given extraordinary rewards. Even the five tigers of the Shen family who surrendered to the rebels
, he easily redeemed his crime and was pardoned. If he had to change to other troops, he would have beheaded him in public. However, this is also consistent with Liu Yu's repeated extraordinary achievements in the battle to pacify Sun En, especially the Battle of Suanshan.
, hurriedly traveled thousands of miles to aid the capital, and achieved great military exploits. Before pacifying Sun En, Liu Yu was a young general with a reputation for bravery that was known to the world, but had no actual military power. After pacifying Sun En, Liu Yu could already compete with Liu Laozhi.
He is a world-famous general who keeps pace with him and has a large number of troops. These will lead to tens of thousands of Beifu veterans willing to die for him."
Suzaku sighed: "Actually, after the Sun En Rebellion was put down, many of the tens of thousands of veterans who put down the rebellion received rewards and returned to their hometowns to buy properties and quit the army. Although Liu Yu became famous at that time, he was not the king of the country after all.
The pillars could not determine the country's policy, and the military merit system was not implemented. Therefore, most of the soldiers only retired after receiving a reward. Liu Yu could not stop them from leaving. Only those soldiers who were born in Jingkou sent their fellow soldiers to Jingkou.
Liu Yu, who was from Jingkou, regarded him as a great savior. Even if he returned from the army and returned home, he made a promise to Liu Yu that if there was a war, he would be recalled and he would only serve Liu Yu. This is probably why Liu Yu was able to succeed in Jianyi later.
, what is needed is the kind of military spirit that goes beyond official duties and military symbols."
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "You have been in the army for too little time, and you don't really understand this kind of military morale. Liu Yu's military morale in the past was not just based on being able to lead everyone to win battles, gain benefits, and compete for more rewards for everyone.
, Liu Laozhi might do these things better. He was also very generous to his subordinates. He would even allow his subordinates to plunder and plunder, and he would also take the blame for them or find excuses to say that he was a coercion of the demon thieves. But
Why would Liu Laozhi’s soldiers, and even Liu Jingxuan, his biological son, rather want to defect to Liu Yu?”
Qinglong's brows raised: "Because Liu Yu took the lead during the war, lived and died with his men, rushed first, and retreated last. This kind of approach that was willing to use his life to protect his brothers won the hearts of the military.
Just like in Wuqiaoze, Liu Yu stayed in the final rear in order to protect everyone who had been defeated in the battle, and was even charged with treason. There is such an example, which of his soldiers,
Wouldn’t you be willing to die for him?”
Bai Hu nodded: "This point is very important, but there is one more important point. Master Qinglong may have been ignoring it. That is, when Liu Yu was in the army, he had already begun to describe his ideal bright future to all his subordinates.
A future with infinite hope and brightness.”
Zhuque asked curiously: "What infinite hope and light? Winning the war, then taking the money to go home, buying land and real estate, marrying a wife and having children. Isn't this the hope and light that these poor people can think of and see?"
There were no military honors at that time, and Liu Yu himself could not guarantee that he would stay in the army and make contributions, so what could he do to convince these low-level soldiers?"
Bai Hu said in a deep voice: "At that time, he was able to convince his subordinates that all this happened today was because the high-ranking families occupied most of the country's resources and power, but they were just occupying the latrine. Their children did not need to do anything.
When you fight in a war, just by having a name in the army, you can get those military honors and titles that the soldiers can't get even if they work hard. Is this fair?"
Qinglong said coldly: "That's because the seniors of the aristocratic family have suffered hardships that their seniors have never endured, and have made contributions that have never been done before, and they have passed on to future generations. Even if it is Liu Yu's military merit system later
According to the rules, the noble family provided enough food, grass, ordnance, food and clothing for them to fight in the war, and the guys in their hands were also provided by the noble family, so what are the grievances?"
Bai Hu smiled and waved his hand and said: "What you said will only make Liu Yu and the others angrier. He will say that these are the resources that the country should have, but they are used by high-ranking families for their own personal use."
Yes, if it is taken back to the country, it will naturally become what the soldiers deserve. This is not a gift from a noble family, but an obligation that they should fulfill!"
Qinglong sneered and said: "Public tools are for private use? Huh, to manage these lands, the heads of the manor and the stewards all belong to our aristocratic family, not the country. If other countries manage it well, then let these veterans manage it."
, I see what kind of peace and prosperity they can manage. The current situation is that without the talents of our aristocratic family, the gentry, and the educated people, Liu Yu can't even supply military rations."
Suzaku suddenly frowned: "Ah, that's it. Liu Yu didn't notice this before. After suffering the hardships of those illiterate military brothers who couldn't manage the countryside after returning to their hometowns, he started to change his methods.
These Beijing Eighth Party members have been trained for a long time. In the name of education and culture, they can understand military orders and read military books in the army, so that these people can be educated and gain experience in managing troops in the army. After returning home,
Can’t we really manage things, can we manage villages and villages? Then the governance advantage of our descendants from aristocratic families will be gone.”
Qinglong's forehead began to sweat, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Here, this time I go back to the countryside to govern, it is not just a job to pay taxes, but also to teach mulberry farming, and to be able to complete seeds, farm tools, irrigation, and harvest.
A series of management, these soldiers who only know how to fight and kill, can they really do it?" (End of Chapter)
