"Soldiers shoulder the heavy responsibility and mission of protecting their homes and the country..."
"Soldiers care about the safety and peace of the people in the imperial court..."
"Soldiers are the ones who bear the brunt of the national crisis, risk their lives, go forward and fight for the future, and stand at the forefront with their flesh and blood..."
A little girl read a passage from "A Letter to All Luo Yu Soldiers", danced excitedly, and said loudly: "I will marry a soldier in the future!"
Zhou Xiaomei curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Have you changed your mind? Not long ago you said you wanted to marry Li Yu, a talented man like Bi Shi'an."
The little girl's name is Li Mei, she is the granddaughter of former prime minister Li Gu, and her father is Bequé Li Ji.
Li Mei blushed with embarrassment and said: "Have you not read His Majesty's "To All Luo Yu Soldiers" before? How did I know that soldiers are so great? I used to talk about the elegant deeds of talented men and beauties, but after reading "To All Luo Yu"
"Luo Yu's Book of Generals", I suddenly realized that soldiers are the real heroes."
She took Zhou Xiaomei's hand and said, "Little sister, don't you think soldiers are glorious?"
Zhou Xiaomei said: "I don't think so, but I think the emperor's brother-in-law is very powerful. This "Letter to All Luo Yu Soldiers" shocked the entire Bian Kyoto."
Her eyes were shining with little stars, and her lips were pouting dissatisfied.
During these several visits to the palace, she never saw her brother-in-law.
Her sister said that her brother-in-law was busy with official duties and met with ministers of civil and military affairs every day. He slept directly in the Wende Hall at night and did not enter the back garden on some days.
Li Mei said: "Of course Your Majesty is powerful, but can't I marry Your Majesty?"
Zhou Xiaomei was absent-minded and said casually: "Why not!"
Li Mei couldn't answer for a while. She looked at Xiao Chuo who was reading the newspaper seriously and said: "Yanyan, you come to judge..."
Xiao Chuo said something childish in his heart and ignored it coldly.
Zhou Xiaomei didn't check for a while and let the news slip. Seeing that no one cared, she breathed a sigh of relief and saw Xiao Chuo staring at the newspaper and curiously poking his head to read.
What Xiao Chuo read was "A Letter to All Luo Yu Generals".
Zhou Xiaomei's eyes flashed with vigilance, and she asked: "Xiao Leofeng, what's so good about this?"
Xiao Chuo glanced dissatisfied and said, "I told you, do you understand?"
Zhou Xiaomei was a little crazy.
Zhou Xiaomei was three years older than Xiao Chuo. At the beginning, Zhou Xiaomei was able to bully Xiao Chuo in various ways by taking advantage of her age.
But as Xiao Chuo grew older and his talent emerged, Zhou Xiaomei found that she could no longer handle Xiao Chuo.
Zhou Xiaomei said: "Then you understand?"
Xiao Chuo shook his head and said: "I don't really understand. There are too many things involved. Even Bi Shi'an and Zhang Qixian can't fully understand it. How can I understand it?"
She said that she is like a small person but a big devil. She imitated Bi Shi'an and sighed: "Your Majesty brings order to the chaos, and the ghosts and ghosts are unpredictable!"
It turns out that Xiao Chuo, Zhou Xiaomei’s teacher Yang, is Dou Yujun’s adopted daughter.
At that time, Yang's father was a domestic servant of the Dou family. He stole the 20,000 yuan that Dou Yujun used to run a school, left his daughter Yang with Dou Yujun and ran away. He also wrote a bond on Yang's arm saying "forever."
Sell this girl to pay back the money you owe."
Dou Yujun burned the bonds, adopted Yang as his adopted daughter, raised her, found a good marriage for her in the school, and prepared a dowry for her.
The person Yang married was named Su Yuan. He became a Jinshi during the Xiande period of the later Zhou Dynasty and now serves as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment in the court.
Bi Shi'an, Zhang Qixian and Su Yuan, who were both disciples of Dou Yujun, had close friendships with each other and made an appointment to visit him.
Xiao Chuo helped Yang make tea for the three of them, and happened to hear the three of them talking about "A Letter to All Luo Yu Generals".
Xiao Chuo, who is particularly sensitive to politics, remembered everything they said and did.
Thinking about it now, it's still vivid in my mind.
Su Yuan was the first to say: "Thirteen thousand men marching backwards to the north, how majestic it is? Throughout the ages, only my court in Luo Yu has had such a scene."
Bi Shi'an was silent for a long time, and then said: "To tell you the truth, I have always been biased against military men due to Wang Yansheng's incident in the past. Today I read His Majesty's "Letter to All Luo Yu Generals" and saw 130,000 men heading north. I suddenly felt that I was in vain.
Villain. There are people like Wang Yansheng in this world, and there are also heroes who serve the country and the people."
Zhang Qixian also went on to say: "Only Your Majesty dares to face the warriors before and after. I am also deeply touched by the details written in Your Majesty's document. We really cannot kill everyone with one shot because of certain people and events of certain eras. When it comes to
Talent, Yang Xiong was so amazing in the past, but because of Wang Mang, he has been ridiculed for thousands of years. You must know that Yang Xiong even has the reputation of Confucius of the West... There are also moths among literati. How can we say that all literati in the world are like this?
Like Yang Xiong?"
Su Yuan looked at Bi Shi'an, and Zhang Qixian said: "From today on, talented people will no longer focus on beauty."
Bi Shi'an came over understandingly and sighed: "Your Majesty brings order to the chaos, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable!"
Xiao Chuo read "A Letter to All Luo Yu Soldiers" repeatedly, but in the end he was unable to understand its profound meaning because of his young age.
But the meaning revealed between the words made her a little obsessed.
At the same time, Luo Youdu summoned Song Xiong, who had been serving as the director of Jinzou Academy for half a year, in Yanhe Hall and assigned him tasks.
"Song Qing, starting from today, the newspaper will reserve a page to introduce in detail the flood situation of the Yellow River and the situation of the Forbidden Army. Their deeds and efforts will be published in detail. I want the people of the world to know that the imperial court's military capital
They are soldiers, and they are all heroes who serve their country and their family."
Luo Youdu's mood is extremely complicated right now. He is worried about the disaster, but also excited about the opportunity.
He has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to bestow true honor on soldiers.
If you want to build an invincible army, when five generations of military leaders are not feasible, only by giving them dignity and glory can they inspire their faith and combat effectiveness.
Why was it normal during the Han and Tang Dynasties to win with less and win more?
After the Song Dynasty, don’t talk about defeating more with less, because defeating less with more will never lead to victory.
In the final analysis, Luo Youdu personally felt that the army had lost its due sense of honor.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, a good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not make nails.
As soon as these words came out, being a soldier actually became a shame.
Doing the most painful, tiring and life-threatening work, but not getting a good reward, life has become a shame.
Who is the replacement, who is willing to change it? Who is the replacement, who is willing to sacrifice his life?
On the contrary, if you look at the beautiful stories of scholars, talented people and beauties, you will find that there is a room of gold in a book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book.
In short, there is a saying, a talent is good at everything, a soldier is bad at everything.
Luo Youdu wanted to break this ignorant thought while the literati group had not yet risen. Talents are worthy of praise, but soldiers are equally worthy of respect.
This disaster gave Luo Youdu this opportunity. "A Letter to All Luo Yu Soldiers" tells all soldiers to put aside the bad habits left over from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and prove to the people and the literati who look down on them that they are soldiers.
A soldier who can protect his family and country on the front line and the people in the rear is a proud soldier, not a soldier who bullies the people.
From then on, scholars were compared to soldiers, and talented people were judged to be soldiers with meritorious service.
Scholars are no longer unique; soldiers have the status and dignity of soldiers.
