To this day, Zhiyao is certain of one thing. Even if he has no writings, just because he has repeatedly received Confucius and a group of disciples, if Confucianism develops one day, he will definitely have a related reputation.
In the past, Zhiyao was quite disgusted with Confucianism, all because Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties was so decadent that it should have been swept into the garbage heap of history.
He knew that "Confucianism" was not established by Confucius, and after getting along with Confucius and a group of disciples, he realized that the ideas advocated by Confucius were completely different from the Confucianism of later generations. The ideas advocated by a group of disciples even influenced a certain Baijia family.
The birth of these schools of thought.
What is the fact? In fact, some of Confucius’ disciples are simply advocates of the Hundred Schools of Thought!
To put it bluntly, some schools of thought simply absorbed the ideological nourishment of Confucius’ disciples and created a family of schools.
"Who wouldn't be afraid of a group of people who are always ready to strike wherever they go?" Zhiyao went to see Confucius, and then exchanged greetings with a few of his disciples, realizing that they were all holding back their anger.
If it were a small country expelling them, they would probably show their swords, right?
Facing Chu's expulsion, they felt aggrieved and had no choice but to admit it, but they were definitely angry in their hearts.
It is no exaggeration to say that Confucius led a group of armed gangs around. Almost all of his disciples were armed with swords, and their archery and sword skills were not lost at all. Each one of them also mastered the art of imperial control. When they discussed knowledge with others, they could be polite and courteous.
, you can draw your sword when you see injustice, and when paired with a chariot, you become an army.
So, it’s no wonder that in an era when ferocious beasts were rampant in the wild, bandits could appear anywhere, and there were constant wars everywhere. In a chaotic environment, Confucius was able to travel around the world, right?
"Write what you have learned about your travels and publish it into a book?" Zigong was called over by Zhiyao, and when he heard some words, he was stunned at first, and then entered a state of excitement.
It’s a travel diary! Zhiyao wanted to use this to understand the customs, customs and conditions of the country. A group of disciples could also publish a book. Cooperation would be beneficial to both sides.
However, Zhiyao obviously misjudged the impact of writing books on contemporary people.
Zigong was excited at first, but soon seemed to be discouraged and said: "Virtue is not enough."
Words are sacred, and publishing a book is even more sacred. How can anyone be able to publish a book?
Even in an era when there was no shortage of paper and printing technology had spread, not everyone could still publish a book.
The current situation is that Confucius did not have any works of his own, but he had disciples who could publish books. It is inappropriate to use the "Confucian" framework to judge it.
"..." Zhiyao didn't know what to say.
What should we talk about? Let Confucius be the first author and write the book together with a group of disciples?
Confucius probably wasn't happy about it. If he wanted to write a book, it wouldn't be a travelogue, it would be a very high-level work.
As for the group of disciples? They actually wrote a book together after Confucius passed away, that is, the Analects of Confucius.
"If I print textbooks, does it count as publishing a book?" Zhiyao feels that if it does not aim at circulation, it does not seem to count as publishing a book.
Doesn't it seem right? Once Zhiyao's military training materials can be passed down to later generations, he will actually be the one who left his writings, and because he has the advantage of the times, there is a high probability that he will be able to find a place in the martial arts temple.
Confucius was in a bad mood and felt more at home than before when he was squatting somewhere.
Later, Zhiyao asked to borrow people, but Confucius did not refuse, and Confucius showed great interest in Zhi's plan to build a city east of "Handan".
"Liuli?" After hearing the scale of the city built by Zhishi, Confucius seemed to be a little bit flinched.
Although it was an era when rituals had collapsed, Confucius was still pursuing the restoration of Zhou rituals.
It is a recognized fact that the "Qing" of the Jin Kingdom is higher than the princes, but they are just smaller than the princes. Building a city with a perimeter of three miles on all sides is not conspicuous. Once it is built, it will be a city with a perimeter of six miles on all sides. Isn't it too high-profile?
How about some?
Confucius would do things that seemed very conspicuous, but would think twice before doing things that conflicted with his own pursuits.
Therefore, there was no surprise. When I heard that the Zhi family wanted to build a city with a perimeter of six miles, I immediately pretended that I didn't know about the Zhi family's plan to build the city.
What Confucius is more famous for is that he did not stop his disciples from helping the Zhi family, but only hinted that it should not be related to city building, and that there was no problem in building water conservancy projects and reclaiming wasteland.
This incident was later learned by Lao Tzu, who went to find Confucius. What the two talked about is unknown. Outsiders only know that they broke up on bad terms.
While everyone was busy, Zhiyao felt at ease.
This is also what it should be. If the leader delegates what needs to be done, it will definitely become more leisurely.
If the leader is busy all the time? It only means that the ability of a group of subordinates is really worrying.
When she was free, Zhiyao did not pretend to be busy. She stopped writing and other things, and changed construction sites every day to check... It was said to be checking, but in fact it was just wandering around.
It wasn't until the summoned army arrived that Zhiyao entered the busy moment again.
"The three 'divisions' and the prince's men marched towards Dongshan Heidi. Will the new army be the main force in this battle?" Cheng Shuo didn't ask why he wanted to attack Dongshan Heidi, he just wanted to know how to fight.
It has been nearly two years since Zhiyao started training the new army.
After being eliminated again and again, the number of the new army is still about 4,000, and the number of the reserve army is about 3,000.
Merely training troops cannot create a truly strong army. There is no way that Li Yao does not understand similar principles and invites him to fight in the civil war, or seeks training from princes. Considering the importance of the first battle, there is no more suitable opponent than Dongshan Heidi.
.
The reason why Zhiyao transferred three more "divisions" was mainly because the Dongshan Heidi lived in the mountains and forests. The new army plus the reserve team only had about 7,000 people, and the number was really not enough.
That's a mountain war! Especially the tribes of Heidi in Dongshan are very scattered. You must arrange it properly at the beginning of the operation and try to get rid of more tribes as soon as possible. The subsequent clearing up will also be a big trouble.
Zhiyao had already sent people to conduct on-the-spot investigation in advance and introduced Cheng Shuo to the terrain and the distribution of the Heidi tribe in detail.
Generally speaking, Dongshan Heidi is entrenched in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains. What is more strange is that Dongshan Heidi has its own "capital".
In other words, there is a city in Heidi in Dongshan, its name is "Gaiyu", and their ancestral cemetery is about fifty miles northeast of "Gaiyu".
"Killing is the second priority, and capturing is a slave?" Cheng Shuo knew that Lao Zhi's family wanted to build a city and had a series of major projects, but he was still a little confused after hearing this request.
According to the current concept, the most appropriate way to build a city is to use a large number of subjects. The residents of the city will also be selected from the subjects who participated in the construction of the city. It is rare to use slaves to build a city. This involves a kind of "sense of belonging".
knowledge.
Zhiyao knew what was going on. The problem was that the old Zhi family really didn't have much time left. If they didn't build the city quickly, God knew there wouldn't be another big chaos in the Jin Congress in the future.
In short, when building a city, we must first build the city wall, dig a canal to connect to the river, and at least build a moat for the new city, and then solve the water problem in the city.
In this way, the amount of labor force used at the same time will be huge, and the full use of family subjects and slaves will inevitably cause stagnation in the development of other fiefdoms.
Therefore, the Zhishi's war against Dongshan Heidi can test the new army, capture prisoners of war to serve as laborers, and there will also be spoils of war. The most important thing is to completely eliminate the possible threats from the north, which is completely done in one fell swoop.
What a wonderful thing.
As for the Zhi family's recruitment of three "divisions", and the combined strength of the new army exceeds the strength of one "division", what will the other families think of using such force? Zhi Yao is really looking forward to getting feedback on the news.
"The Zhao family wants to fight against the Fan family, the Wei family wants to fight against the Fan family for profit, the Han family goes south to ensure that the fiefdom is not threatened by the Chu army, and the Hu family needs to make a formal appearance. They control the recruitment of the Zhi family and
Why send troops to attack Heidi in Dongshan?" Zhiyao wanted to see who dared to interfere in the affairs of Lao Zhi's family.
Once someone really intervenes, they are actually bullying the Zhi family after Zhisong's death. While it seems very shameless, it also means that they have great thoughts about the old Zhi family.
Zhiyao really thinks it’s good to expose those who have thoughts about Lao Zhi’s family as early as possible.
This time, Zhiyao would not personally go out to conquer Heidi in Dongshan. Instead, he would choose Cheng Shuo to lead the army, and then appoint Zilu as his deputy.
No one was surprised when Zhiyao made such an appointment.
While going on an expedition is certainly important, building a city and developing the surrounding areas of "Handan" are even more important to the Zhi family!
Many people were extremely happy to see Zhiyao being able to distinguish priorities.
In total, more than four "divisions" of troops have gone out. Zhiyao is looking forward to the officers he has trained since childhood to play a role in this battle. At the same time, he will wait and see the performance of the new army.
"The new army of Zhishi dares to be the first in the world." Tian Juanju still stayed with Zhishi and followed Zhiyao around.
Zhiyao glanced at Tian Rangju and asked with a smile: "When will sir's book be completed?"
Although Tian Ruoju was a prisoner of war, the problem was that his freedom was not restricted, and his treatment was similar to that of Zhi's retainers.
The reason why he still uses "Tian" as the prefix is mainly because he has not served as the Grand Sima of Qi State. Secondly, "The Art of War of Sima" has not yet been published. Once the book is completed, there will definitely be a place in the martial arts temple.
Zhiyao also saw that Tian Rangju was writing "The Art of War of Sima" and was really sure that he was the one with a position in the martial arts temple. What was more puzzling was that he felt at a loss about a rumor in his memory.
According to legend, Sun Wu wrote his own book on war after reading Tian Juanju's "Sima's Art of War". However, Zhiyao personally witnessed that Sun Wu had already written "Thirteen Chapters on the Art of War", but Tian Juanju's "Sima's Art of War" had not yet been finalized.
.
Here is a situation that Zhiyao failed to understand, that is, there is nothing wrong with Sun Wu writing a military book, but Sun Wu's military book is not called "Thirteen Chapters on the Art of War", and Sun Wu's military book has not yet been finalized. It needs to be revised again and again after going into seclusion.
Version down.
In addition, although Tian Ruoju and Sun Wu are uncle-nephew, according to Zhiyao's knowledge, they don't have much contact.
Zhiyao asked with a smile: "The State of Qi is indifferent to what happened to you. Now that you know that I am training a new army, you will not be able to escape."
joke!
If such a great master is caught at the right time, Zhiyao will not treat him harshly, but he cannot let him go either!
