What even Cheng Yaojin himself didn't realize was that his own values... had been gradually transformed by Li Sheng, and even training - training had become another form.
In the past, all the military books Cheng Yaojin read only talked about a few things. In the final analysis, they were just time windows, geographical structures and corresponding military situations, as well as the psychological phenomena of ordinary people on the battlefield.
All wars in the world are nothing more than this...
Of course, what is more important is the quality of the general himself, his brave temperament——
In war, bravery itself is actually of little use, but an extremely brave general can suppress the enemy generals who are not as brave as himself to perform various behaviors - thereby changing the opponent's personal thoughts and behaviors from unpredictable to unpredictable.
It's predictable! If you add this, it's gone. If you have to write a military book, so many years of battles... Cheng Yaojin estimates that he can write a dozen tomes at least.
But when it comes to the logic of war, the philosophy of war...these "various elements" that are more basic than specific battle examples, it can be written in less than a piece of toilet paper.
But now the situation is different. Although Cheng Yaojin, like most warriors and middle school youths in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, likes well-made, heavy and powerful weapons, Cheng Yaojin is still very smart when he actually joins the army.
I never believed that the outcome of a war would really be determined by weapons...
But now, the situation is different.
In those days, no matter how tall Liu Heita's troops were, how tall their horses were, or how powerful their crossbows were, Cheng Yaojin would not have thought those things were of any use - I am just better than you.
Fight, this is the conclusion! People can fight, in the final analysis, it is far more important than weapons... Although he has not read any sages' books, Cheng Yaojin has really mastered this precious political philosophy in his long military practice.
.
But now...
Cheng Yaojin realized more and more that the world's military... might really change.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the grenade - once this thing explodes in front of you, a person has to wear hundreds of kilograms of armor to withstand the power?
Not to mention artillery, the latest black technology, although it has not been used much yet, it is currently being researched and updated in the Tang Dynasty.
But Cheng Yaojin made some calculations and realized that this was still a good opportunity... Wouldn't it be more useful for this damn girl to go back to Chang'an to get these weapons than to just rush around outside the Great Wall?
As for the things outside the Great Wall...the silly fights, it was not like there were no young men in the Tang Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited when he thought that he would also pick up books and become a scholar in the future.
…
With the first batch of heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties... In fact, for this kind of people, what they were like when they were young and what they will be like when they are old - for those who have truly survived the troubled times, they have not only survived
, who had also rebuilt peace and prosperity, they would never distort themselves to cater to the world. However, after the First World War, Cheng Yaojin had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really thought about returning to Chang'an to engage in weapons research.
only……
Although Cheng Yaojin, a front-line general of the Tang Dynasty, had planned to engage in weapons research, the way forward was easily planned out - and indeed clearly planned out.
But for Li Er, the boss of this gang of warriors, the problem has not been solved yet.
For Cheng Yaojin, the "solution" is very simple. Anyway, people only need to start from the part they can do and work hard. But for Li Er, things are more complicated. This complexity does not lie in a specific matter, but in
It lies in the "complexity" itself - he is the emperor, to put it bluntly, he is the one who makes decisions in the Tang Dynasty.
The next step is to continue marching eastward to Huanglong and completely capture Rome, or to stabilize the situation first. This is a choice that others dare not overstep, and even if they dare to overstep, they will not dare to force it, because once a decision-making error occurs...
It is already known to everyone what happened due to Cheng Yaojin's bloody work before. Now Cheng Yaojin, an old cunning guy... took the opportunity to resign from the military and go to engage in weapons research. He is relaxed, but I'm afraid
What Tang should do next is becoming more and more problematic.
...In fact, Li Er's thoughts are not different from Cheng Yaojin's thoughts. Whether the Tang Dynasty will advance or stop now depends on the state of the Romans themselves. If the whole country is really determined to fight against the Tang Dynasty,
Then this... first of all, the battle must be extremely difficult to fight, and secondly, winning this kind of battle is obviously an ominous thing.
The ancients made many superstitions, which are not actually superstitious. For example, if the ancients said that doing something is unlucky, the unlucky thing is actually not occultism, but a modern ancient name for "bad influence". This is the case in Rome. If
The whole country's will to resist is extremely strong, so... to put it ugly, this is the will of the people, they just don't want to mess with you, Datang.
At this time, for the long-term interests of the Tang Dynasty, it can certainly be done by force - the steam locomotive showed its power this time. The significance is not only that it reversed the situation of the battle and changed the outcome of the battle at once, but also because of this
After the war, the Tang Dynasty had a greater advantage in the game against Rome. At this time...
After passing the Alps and arriving in eastern Europe, this is considered to be officially entering the interior of Europe... This is fundamentally different from the Tang Dynasty's imperial army that stayed east of the Alps. It is equivalent to the Qin State's defeat of the Wei Dynasty during the Warring States Period.
, the meaning is not that important. Whatever you want to do next will be much more convenient. But at the same time, besides that...
This already considerable situational advantage, as well as the increased combat power of steam vehicles... This is like tying a tiger on the doorstep of the Romans. With the power of the Tang Dynasty, even if you want to say it is invincible... Go to the streets of Chang'an
It is said that the Tang Dynasty is not invincible and can be beaten by angry people every minute.
But... as mentioned above, it is obviously not possible to kill them in one wave, because the result is uncertain.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have to behave like an adult and cannot engage in behaviors like Cheng Yaojin... But what to do next is also a problem.
After sending Cheng Yaojin away, Li Er spent the whole day thinking about this long-term strategic issue alone in the Manlu Hall until late at night.
But in the end, Li Er shook his head and mentally gave up the idea of taking Rome directly.
That is not a strategy for the country!
However, it is impossible for Li Er to gain such a big advantage but not be good at anything, so this result... is naturally clear to Li Er, and of course it is still "cannibalization"!
