Chapter 5390: The following criminals are killed by soldiers
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, in the final analysis, whether it is nobles, ordinary people, or military households, these people who serve as the main sources of the army have evolved from slaves to savages to common people since the pre-Qin era.
, who were born to belong to the bottom of the country, and the gentry evolved from the earliest conquerors and nobles. Although the number became increasingly small, the sense of superiority always existed. They considered themselves to be superior to the common people.
, and regard killing people in war as an evil thing like slaughtering chickens and dogs, and don’t want to dirty their hands, so they become more and more separated from the army and become more and more aloof.”
"Although the emperor has been the emperor since ancient times when he has strong soldiers and horses, the gentry has been playing the role of managers for thousands of years, because they have mastered the culture and knowledge. If they want to govern the country, even if they want to
In the army, managing baggage, logistics, and military orders cannot be separated from the literati race. We people in the world respect culture from the bottom of our hearts and like people with knowledge and ability, instead of fighting and killing all day long and relying on being barbaric.
People who are domineering and domineering because of their strength, because powerful people often bully others with brute force, while educated and knowledgeable people can be more reasonable and have some principles, and act by law or morality that everyone agrees with.
Only when people are convinced can management be done well. This is the power of knowledge and culture."
Having said this, Bai Hu looked at Xuanwu and said sternly: "However, the gentry became superior by monopolizing knowledge and culture. Among the people, they were separated from the farmers who were engaged in production and farming. In the army, they were separated from those who smelled of sweat.
The soldiers' hands were full of blood. Most of the nobles, even if they went out to fight with the title of general, they just read the art of war books and acted like a Confucian commander, but they were incompetent and lost in the end.
He had to rely on his subordinates to fight tooth and nail to help him break through, and if he won the battle, he would seize the military honors from his subordinates. Such a person would naturally be resented by the sergeants. Once given the opportunity, he would definitely want the lives of these noble generals more than the enemy.
"
Qinglong said coldly: "The following offenders, no matter what the reason or reason, are committing rebellion. The soldiers' daily food and clothing, the weapons in their hands, and the armor on their bodies are all produced and provided by our aristocratic family. Say we
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are their food, clothing, and parents. Even if the generals are a little arrogant, even if they command incompetently, it is still a matter for the court and the lieutenants to judge afterwards, and it is not the turn of these sergeants to take advantage of the chaos to take revenge. This kind of thing, in
In my opinion, it is equivalent to using a slave to kill his master. Even if there is a huge reason, it cannot be forgiven."
Bai Hu frowned: "Master Qinglong, I didn't expect that even you would say such a thing. In your heart, do you really regard the soldiers as our domestic slaves?"
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "No problem, I think the officers and soldiers are just like the people of our Jin Dynasty, but even the people must know the rules and the dignity. No matter what, the children of the aristocratic families who command them,
They are also their generals and their superiors. They are not people they can take advantage of to take advantage of the chaos and kill them to avenge their personal grudges. This is the most basic rule. If a country or an army does not have rules, it will rely on the number of people and the weapons in hand.
If you can use swords and guns to mutiny and kill superior officers and generals, then this army is a rebel and the soldiers in the army are traitors. We must not encourage the growth of such a trend."
Bai Hu nodded: "So, with such separation and disharmony among the soldiers, it gradually became that the children of the aristocratic families did not want to join the army at all. Even if they were born with the title of general, there would be countless soldiers who would fight to the death for a lifetime.
,,It is also difficult to achieve even the imagined position. They only rely on the title of general and the order of the court to join the army. Even teenagers can command thousands of troops and lead a group of experienced soldiers.
Veteran generals, veteran generals, and famous generals are used as left and right. Their ability is unconvincing and their attitude is extremely arrogant. How can they win a battle when they encounter a strong enemy? A group of children from aristocratic families who can only lose the battle.
, will be even less looked down upon by the soldiers. In the past, there may have been a little respect in my heart that the generals were educated, understood the art of war, and seemed confident. But after losing a few battles, they completely understood the opponent's capabilities, and no longer
It is impossible to listen to his orders and commands. After all, in the army, if you fail to obey these orders, you will lose your life."
Suzaku curled up his lips and said: "That was before. I admit that many nobles who were born from aristocratic families were indeed very arrogant after joining the army. Just like Yu Yue is a typical example, and many more people,
Even worse than Yu Yue, he was not even willing to join the army. As a result, these armies naturally had to be commanded by generals who came from the bottom of the army. Therefore, military power fell to Liu Laozhi, Liu Yu and other cold men.
, or in the hands of lower-class nobles, right."
Bai Hu smiled slightly and said: "That's right. The various armies of the Jin Dynasty, except for Yu Yue's army, are basically controlled by generals from the Beifu Army or other military systems. Our generals from the noble family are very
Less. Moreover, unlike the previous generations, even the official positions in the court and the governors of various places are mostly held by generals of various legions. At most, the descendants of our aristocratic families control the inland areas such as Yangzhou, and newly conquered and recovered
The places in the area are completely under the military control of the generals of the Beifu Army. In this way, I am afraid that within a few years, the sergeants who have retired from the army and returned to their hometowns, together with the lower-class scholars who came out of Lan Xiang's official school, can work at the grassroots level.
As officials, they are responsible for civil and military matters, scholars are responsible for administration, and Qiu Ba are responsible for public security, anti-theft, and expropriation matters. In this way, these places will truly fall under the control of the imperial court and will no longer be owned by our family.
But at this point, relying only on Yangzhou and Wudi, our family empire in the Jin Dynasty is probably coming to an end."
Qinglong said angrily: "Master Baihu seems to be very excited about the arrival of this day. He can help Liu Yu complete unprecedented changes and eliminate aristocratic families and gentry through universal education and equality for all. You
Can’t wait to leave your name in history with him?”
Bai Hu smiled and waved his hand: "Master Qinglong, don't keep saying such slanderous words, it's meaningless. I have said before that although Liu Yu's ideals are beautiful and his personality is noble, he is so noble that I am willing to help him to a certain extent.
But in the end, it is still no match for the selfishness and greed of human nature. People's hearts are inherently unfair, so how can we truly achieve equality for everyone? Even the military power we have been discussing will eventually return to the hands of the nobles." (End of this chapter)
