Chapter 484: The weight of the armor has to be careful
"Our Great Song Dynasty, Jin'ou, is not a unified country, but a neutral country that emerged from chaos. It is a helpless act to have a congenital defect. It is really helpless!"
Chen Lin felt that Ye An at this time was a bit like a doctor sitting in the court for consultation. He described Da Song's condition correctly, but did not tell the cause, so she asked curiously: "Is this what you think Da Song is?"
What was the reason for the civil and military promotion in Song Dynasty?"
Ye An nodded slightly, but then shook his head slightly and said: "Sir, do you think the current situation in the country is right? There is nothing wrong with people advocating Confucianism. After all, my Confucianism puts benevolence and righteousness first, filial piety and brotherhood as the most important, and
Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the most important thing, but saints... If the Tian family sees it this way, is it too much to ask questions? The people from top to bottom value Confucianism, so who still thinks that soldiers are valuable? Who is still willing to devote themselves to the military?
?In this way, the military equipment of the country and the dynasty is declining, and it is accumulated over time, and the water drops are piercing the stone! If one day the people from the north invade the south in large numbers, what kind of army will the country and the dynasty use to fight against it? No matter how bloody the soldiers fight on the battlefield, in the end they will not be able to compare with those who talk a lot.
Scholars who believe in benevolence, righteousness, and morality, will their benevolence, righteousness, and morality be of use to their enemies?”
A series of rhetorical questions shocked Chen Lin. He suddenly had a strange idea. He wanted to deny the national policy set by Taizu and Taizong, and negate the system of emphasizing culture over military affairs, but he knew that this was simply impossible.
matter.
Chen Lin, who was stunned on the spot, seemed to have been hit hard. She sat there dumbly and didn't know what to say. Ye An just smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.
Chen Lin had known about these things for a long time, but she had never thought deeply about them or taken them seriously. There was nothing good to say about the next words, and Chen Lin could not listen to them.
Ye An stood up slowly, took the memorandum from Chen Lin's hand, gently tore off a few pages that recorded what he just said, and said: "Sir, in fact, what I said today is not for saints or officials.
It's just gossip between you and me, the old and the young. If we were to meet the Holy Spirit, what Chang Sheng would say would only be unpleasant!"
Smiling slightly bitterly, Chen Lin came to her senses and took the memorial from Ye Anren: "What else can you do besides scaring someone's family?! You always scare someone with such shocking words, what else can someone do?
How many days will you serve the saint and be an official? How many more years will you have left? I know what you mean. You can just let go and serve in the army. I don’t care about you anymore, but you must also know your identity. Civil servants are in charge.
The soldiers are uneasy at the top."
Ye An finally smiled knowingly: "We have to be careful about the importance of soldiers and armor, and we don't trust others if we leave it to others, but don't you yourself want to see how far An Hua's army can go?"
The word "yuan" was bitten so hard by Ye An that Chen Lin couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then said: "Then let's see what you are capable of! Why don't you want to be sent by the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple and plan to work in the military?"
Is there a big difference? A certain family can remind you, don’t make such calculations. Military generals are marginalized even if they obtain literary qualifications, and literati transfer to military positions... Hey, do you think that the generals can sit back and watch your power? Don’t think that just because the saints reuse you, you can be whimsical, civil servants
Leading troops is only a last resort, you still need a general!"
Chen Lin has finally figured out the characteristics of the Song Dynasty's military system. The three powers are separated. Civil servants, military generals, and military supervisors are all indispensable. There is no chance for him to do anything wrong.
Of course Ye An knew it, but he still had some obsession with the military: "When the officials look back at the unified dynasties of the past, which one did not emphasize military equipment? Which one did not restrain the generals, but things must be reversed at the extreme! Let's go! It's different, you say
It’s…”
After Ye An finished speaking, he walked out of the camp, leaving Chen Lin alone to think about this issue. This was the core idea he wanted to say. Things must be reversed at the extremes. Although the Song Dynasty was heavy on military equipment, it was all superficial and just increased the number of soldiers.
Quantity does not solve the problem, nor is it the core.
Selecting good generals, training strong soldiers, heavy armor, and sharp weapons are all indispensable! Otherwise, no matter how many soldiers you have, they are just numbers, or even cannon fodder...
Ye An came out of the camp and shouted: "Tieniu, blow the trumpet! Zhou Changsheng, beat the drum!"
The sound of horns and drums sounded in the army. These are the most primitive and majestic sounds of mankind. The sound of trumpets is like roaring and the sound of drums is like thunder that shakes the earth. However, there is no chaos in the Anhua Army camp in Pingyuan Village. The soldiers
Everything was in order from the moment we walked out of the camp.
After lining up neatly, Cao Yi and Chen Lin looked at each other, and at the same time looked at the drums and five-toned drums in the army. In just a short five-toned drum, the army of three thousand people was assembled.
As shocked as them were the captured Xiqiang people. They had never seen such a Song army, and even the elite party members could not assemble so quickly.
Zihe Mingling looked at the army through the cage. The three gods could prove that the fighting spirit of this armored army was far higher than that of the Song Dynasty's soldiers around the state.
In comparison, the laxity of the Xiqiang people was like stragglers and not worth mentioning. He was certain that the Anhua Army of only three thousand people could put down the Huanzhou Rebellion!
"Tanma scout, are there any Xiqiang rebels in Fangqu Village?!"
"Reporting to Marshal Ye, I want to find out. Fangqu Village is still in the hands of our Song Army. It is commanded by Yu Changyi, the fifth capital of the Dingbian Army, with more than 800 soldiers under his command to defend the military camp!"
Ye An nodded slightly: "Where is Xi Cang, the military governor of grain and grass?"
"The official is here!"
"Can we have enough food and grass to last the army for how many days?"
"The food and grass are all ready, which can supply the army for five days. If we can get more food along the way, it can supply us for ten days!"
"Hurry and send someone to urge Gyeongju to supply food and grass!"
"Here!"
Ye An waved his hand and pointed towards the north and said: "The army is setting off. It will take an hour to arrive at Fangquzhai and rectify it!"
"Here!"
Following Ye An's order, the entire Anhua Army marched forward. The front army moved first while the middle army stayed still. The rear army packed up the sundries and needs in the military camp. When the middle army began to move, the rear army gradually followed.
Being orderly and orderly made Cao Yi, a disciple of a general family, look envious and jealous.
Riding on horseback, he approached Ye An and said, "Are you ready to march to Tongyuan so soon? Don't you want to wait for Lao Fan?"
Ye An didn't expect Cao Yi to see through his intentions, and said with a helpless smile: "Since I know why I need to point it out, the sooner the army arrives at Tongyuan, the sooner the army can stabilize Huanzhou. As long as reinforcements arrive, no matter how many they are, they will be able to stabilize Huanzhou."
It is to stabilize the war situation in Huanzhou!"
"That's true, but are you really worried about Huanzhou? What about the "big things" we discussed before?"
"You just have to do what you have to do. When we made the plan before, we focused on longevity and obeyed orders. You won't break your promise and get rich, right?"
Chen Lin stared at Cao Yi vaguely from the side. After Ye An settled his plan, their goal was only one person from beginning to end, the party members.
Cao Yi shouted dissatisfied: "Am I, Old Cao, that kind of person?! Besides, I won't be able to achieve military success at that time, so why should I behave like a villain with words and deeds that are inconsistent with my words?!"
Ye An found that these two people were gradually starting to lose touch with each other. The reason was very simple. Chen Lin was the supervising army, but there was no way to divide it into two. When she followed him, she could not supervise Cao Yi's every move, and the two sides were
It's time to divide our forces.
Chen Lin has the important task of supervising the army, so she is naturally more interested in the general, and the general does not like the internal servants. There is a natural conflict between the two parties. It is certain interests that bring everyone together, but the suspicion and speculation in her heart have never disappeared. Fortunately, Fan
Yong is not here, if there is another traditionalist among the civil servants, God knows what will happen...
