Chapter 448: A momentary choice, sweeping the world
"...soldiers are the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival."
In the study, Wei Liao saw Zhao Huaizhong flipping through the military strategy he had submitted, so he borrowed a preface from Sun Tzu's Art of War as the beginning to explain his understanding of the art of war to Zhao Huaizhong.
Everyone here is a person who knows the military, including Lu Buwei, who first entered the Qin Dynasty. In order to convince the public, the old King of Qin also asked him to perform military exploits. Lu Buwei led his army to single-handedly destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is known to the whole world.
Therefore, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei's miscellaneous family has real materials.
Zajia, Zajia, knows a little bit about everything, and understands it quite deeply.
He brought together many contemporary masters to write "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", which contains the essence of Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Ming Dynasty, and other schools.
Lu Buwei himself knew military affairs, agriculture and business, and was knowledgeable in Confucianism and law. He was also a craftsman who knew how to make things.
Therefore, now that the elites of Great Qin are gathering together, Zhao Huaizhong still allows him to firmly occupy the position of first and second aid.
It is because Lu Buwei knows everything and is knowledgeable and talented. He is the most suitable person to serve as the first assistant and can mobilize all departments to work together. Lao Lu can handle it with ease when talking about military affairs, agriculture and business, and financial etiquette.
No one can get away with it.
Seeing that Wei Liao was the first to talk about military strategy, Lu Buwei couldn't help but get excited and said: "Therefore, a military expert should learn about five things, correct them based on strategies and explore their emotions: one is Tao, two is Heaven, and three is Earth.
, the fourth is general, the fifth is law.
The Tao makes the people agree with their superiors...without fear of danger. Heaven refers to yin and yang, cold and heat...Earth refers to distance, near, danger, wide and narrow..."
The topic expanded, and Lian Po also added: "I believe that actual combat should come first, and we should not memorize military manuals by rote..
Sun Tzu, the sage of war, is certainly right, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and his changes should reflect his own changes.
It is also a military strategy. I think what Sun Tzu said in his chapter on military warfare: It is as fast as the wind, it is as slow as the forest, it invades and plunders like fire, and it is motionless as a mountain... it can be used as the program of the army."
The ministers spoke one after another and analyzed the military strategy, the method of conducting troops, and the way of military training.
Zhao Huaizhong's spiritual mind was so powerful that he could speak hundreds of words at a glance. In just a few breaths, he finished reading the military strategies sent by the ministers and the summary of each person's experience in leading troops in the war, and then began to listen to the ministers express their opinions.
Zhang Liang and other younger generation Qin generals also entered the study one after another.
All of you here are seniors to Zhang Liang, and he has the status of a newbie.
Being able to hear these military saints present discussing the art of war and studying how to lead troops is a particularly rare opportunity for Zhang Liang and others. In today's Qin, so many of them can be gathered together, and later generations will be invited to the Martial Temple, ranking among the
The momentary choice of the Ten Philosophers and the Seventy-Two Generals.
In Zhao Huaizhong's hand, he was still holding a slightly luminous, old-colored, slightly brown simple book.
This simple book is a military strategy written by Sun Wu, the sage of war. It is a unique ancient scroll.
Zhao Huaizhong listened to the discussions of the ministers and silently read Sun Tzu's "Strategies of War".
In addition to military strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War also reflects Sun Tzu's thoughts. He is a man of martial ethics!
He advocated wisdom, trust, benevolence, courage, and strict military management, which are the "martial virtues" inherited by Chinese soldiers for thousands of years.
Time passes.
At such a small court meeting, one could not help but talk to each other, so while Zhang Liang and others were listening, they were also quietly communicating with the three or five people around them.
"Wei Sheng said that the army should be run with strictness and strictness, and military discipline should be established. It sounds very good..."
"I think that strictness can only be used as an auxiliary, and the most important thing in running an army is the will to fight. General Li Mu and General Lian Po both mean this."
Zhang Liang and others were responsible for acting as the atmosphere team, whispering and narrating from time to time.
After a while, everyone discovered that Zhao Huaizhong and Wang Jian had not spoken during the exchange of military strategies.
Zhao Huaizhong did not talk about normalcy, but he was responsible for listening to the ministers' suggestions.
Moreover, he is obviously not as good as these generals in the art of war.
Wang Jian was the leading general of the Qin army. Why did he say nothing?
After receiving the handwritten letter from Zhao Huaizhong from Liu Qi, Wang Jian was busy reading it, sometimes thinking intently and remaining silent.
What did Your Majesty write that made General Wang so fascinated?!
Wang Jian noticed the change in the atmosphere in the study room, smiled, and passed the strategy to Wei Liao, who was in charge.
After Wei Liao took it, he read it for a moment, looked up at Zhao Huaizhong, then at Wang Jian, and then quickly read through the military strategy.
When he pushed the military strategy to Lu Buwei, who was in the first position on the opposite side, he, like Wang Jian, did not speak again.
Lu Buwei, Li Mu, Lian Po and others read the contents of the military strategy one by one.
The Thirty-Six Strategies written by Zhao Huaizhong is a summary of the previous military methods, and it will not shock these military strategists who are familiar with military affairs.
These thirty-six strategies are the crystallization of the cultural wisdom of China's military strategists for thousands of years. All of them are the best strategies for military strategists. They cover a wide range and involve all aspects of military marching and fighting.
As soon as the Thirty-six Strategies were published, they almost brought together the essence and specific implementation methods of all military books.
Therefore, even Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Li Mu, and Lian Po were silent after seeing it, feeling a little shocked and surprised.
After reading the thirty-six strategies, I knew there was no need to continue the discussion. The thirty-six military strategies summarized by Zhao Huaizhong in handwriting were more comprehensive and easier to understand than the military strategies they submitted.
This is what is meant by the saying that the generals were silent and the soldiers were in tears.
The thirty-six military strategies are impeccable.
After Wei Liao and Wang Jian saw this, their emotions fluctuated and they were quite moved. At the same time, a thought came to their mind: His Majesty knows so much about the art of war.
Valley
"Victory strategy, enemy strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, merging strategy, defeat strategy, the thirty-six strategies are divided into the above six types of military strategies. It contains the principles of yin and yang changes, the military strategist is strong and soft, and is righteous.
Relationships such as offense and defense, enemy and self, reality and reality, subject and object..."
Lu Buwei read silently, understanding the meaning of the thirty-six strategies. After reading it, he opened his mouth and couldn't help but want to clap his hands.
Lian Po was a straight-tempered man. After reading it, he stood up and said, "The military strategy summarized by your Majesty makes me feel ashamed."
Li Mu also said: "Your Majesty's book contains the essence of marching. It really makes us ashamed!"
Zhang Liang, who was sitting a little later, didn't see the content of the military strategy, so he didn't know what was written in it, but he didn't know how powerful it was, and he felt it was very powerful.
I didn’t mean to show off this time, and it wasn’t my summary. Thousands of years later, countless Chinese military masters and famous ministers and generals jointly summarized the experience of their predecessors and wrote this book... Zhao Huai thought in the center, and then said:
"I have called all the ministers here to discuss this matter. I would like to ask the ministers how to integrate these military strategies with the existing military system?
I intend to build a military academy to train soldiers and generals, do you think it is appropriate?"
Since there are already schools in this era, the earliest military schools can naturally be promoted.
This is Zhao Huaizhong's purpose, to rejuvenate the country through culture and education and open up people's wisdom. How to implement it specifically?
First of all, we must popularize and promote education in the fields of culture, military industry, people's livelihood, etc. If the Qin Dynasty wants to flourish for a long time, we must broaden the scope of education, let more people study and practice, and select talents more comprehensively. The simple imperial examination is not enough, and it must cooperate with the establishment of schools.
That's the fundamental thing.
But this does not mean that if you have an idea, you can do whatever you want.
In this era, not all the current systems of Qin are suitable. They must be combined with the current situation and discussed with ministers before finally involving specific implementation.
Lu Buwei and other ministers understood what was said and immediately began to ponder.
"It's not urgent at this time. You all will go back and think about it. I'll call you all to discuss it next time."
Zhao Huaizhong also imitated Kong Shengren and left homework after class, saying that he would take the test next time they met.
It was almost evening when the ministers dispersed.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the wooden window panes in the temple, forming beams of light spots, which are particularly gorgeous.
Fan Qingzhou quickly entered the study room after the ministers left before 'leading to leave work'.
After receiving the edict from Zhao Huaizhong to wipe out all the sects in the world, he quickly made a series of arrangements and then came to report.
"Your Majesty, this is the message from all sects and sects in the world today."
The sects and sects of the world have always been the key targets of Ye Yufu's control.
Fan Qingzhou came over with a pile of information, and while presenting it to Zhao Huaizhong, he introduced the content of the information:
“In all parts of our country, the sects and sects in the Qin Dynasty are like weeds, being cut one after another.
In the early years, the three sects and nine sects, such as the Jiejiao and Kuzhou sects, were either captured or surrendered, and most of them have been wiped out. However, in recent years, new sects have sprung up. According to the investigation within the government, there are still some people hiding behind these sects.
There are overseas forces!”
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, please see that this sect called Yingzhou Immortal Sect is based on an overseas island. It is said that there is an immortal magic on the island. It is used to confuse the public. Some people who are seriously ill are bewitched by it and are willing to bankrupt their entire family.
In order to obtain treatment and pursue immortality.
At present, the Yingzhou Immortal Sect is widely spread along the southeastern coast, and the government has been keeping an eye on them for some time.
I would like to ask Your Majesty whether you want to go to sea to clear away the foundations of these overseas sects?
Because it was not easy to go to sea to clear the debts, these sects came to our Daqin repeatedly to preach. After catching a group, another group came quickly. Because they could not hurt their roots, they had no scruples.
The government has paid off some sects many times, but each time they paid off, the other party would send people from overseas again." Fan Qingzhou said.
"In the next few days, Da Qin's bronze armored ship will be completed, which will allow the elites in the government to go to sea to suppress the bandits."
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at the many sect information in front of him and picked up one of them: "This Jiutian Dao family is one of the three newly promoted nine sects?"
"Yes, his method of preaching is obscure, but it is said that he is powerful and is clearly listed as the first sect in the world." Fan Qingzhou responded.
Logically speaking, to attack the sect forces, we should proceed from small to large, step by step, and clean up step by step.
But with Qin's current strength, these sects will only cause minor troubles at best.
Zhao Huaizhong took up his pen and made a cross red mark with a red pen on the names of the most powerful sects.
The scarlet color is dazzling, revealing a fierce murderous aura!
First, wipe out the strongest sects to scare the world. The remaining small sects will collapse without attack, and then slowly take care of them.
Zhao Huaizhong changed the subject: "I ordered some remaining powerful people to come to the northwest of the land occupied by demons to pay homage. How is the progress?"
"Deputy Shi Bai and General Yu are both in the northwest and are advancing various matters. If there is any news, I will report it immediately," Fan Qingzhou said.
"The Xiongnu have retreated from White Wolf City. After they leave, various tribes in the grassland will compete for White Wolf City. Let them fight first. After they have been exhausted, we, the Qin Dynasty, will send troops to defeat the remaining tribes and bring the grassland under our rule.
"
"promise."
After Fan Qingzhou resigned, he went to arrange everything.
That night, Ye Yufu sent out elite cavalry all night long, rushing to the world to launch a comprehensive attack on the sect's forces.
Zhao Huaizhong also left the study and walked to the harem.
