"Let's analyze it together. If you have any opinions, you can add them at any time." I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Let's talk about the first image, Youxiang. Our country has been going through hundreds of years, and even if the people's wishes are the same,
For example, the Han people in the north were first enslaved by the Jin people and then detained by the Mongols. Although they had been detained for more than a hundred years in many places, their hearts were always towards our country, hoping that our soldiers could regain the Central Plains as soon as possible and save them.
Among water and fire, this is one of them."
Speaking of this, I suddenly felt sad and remembered He Quchen's mother's last words, "If you have the chance, tell the emperor that the Han people in the north miss the emperor and have been hoping that the emperor can rescue them."
I paused for a moment and continued: "Secondly, although our agricultural and commercial industry has declined, it is still not comparable to that of Mongolia. Except for animal husbandry, Mongolia's other industries are basically vacant. The founding of Mongolia only lasted a few years.
In the past ten years, most of its land was plundered from our Dynasty, Jin Kingdom, Xixia, etc. Although these areas are large, they are not developed agricultural and commercial areas, and it will take time to re-plan and manage, so naturally it will not be done immediately
There will be abundant output. Any war requires the support of gold and silver, especially a protracted war. As the Mongolian army grows larger, the amount of military food and equipment it consumes will also increase. This is not a small amount.
At this time, we can see that the history of our dynasty has settled. Thirdly, the population of our dynasty is still larger than that of Mongolia. As of November of the fifth year of Jingding, the total number of our dynasty was 5,696,980.
Nineteen households, 1,326,532 people. This is similar to the second point. After all, war depends on people. Fourth, our dynasty has the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, and the navy is facing each other.
The combat power is strong. Even though Liu Zheng betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy, the Mongolian navy will still be weaker than our dynasty for a while. The strength of the navy ensures that our dynasty is in a position where it can advance, attack, and retreat and defend. Fifth,
Although there are many treacherous and mediocre ministers in our court, most of them are loyal and loyal people, such as Xiangfu, Song Rui, Junshi, etc. When it comes to the issue of the army's combat effectiveness, Xiangfu, you have been fighting the Mongols on the front line for a long time, so you should be the best.
Now that you have the right to speak, can the Mongolian cavalry really be invincible? I don’t think so. Let’s leave this point to the second elephant. There is another point. Mongolian Kublai Khan just defeated his brother Ali Buge. The national strength
The consumption is very high, and we are unable to invade the south at this time, which gives us time, and the four major khanates in the west do not recognize Kublai Khan's throne."
Of course, being a time traveler is my biggest advantage, but I can’t say it.
Lu Xiufu added: "There is also a sixth point, which is the master's brilliance and martial prowess."
I laughed and said, "Junshi has also learned to flatter you."
Wen Tianxiang also said: "Master, this is a fact. If it were not for your wisdom, we would not have the confidence to revive our dynasty, so this is not the sixth point, but the first point."
Since ancient times, this flattery has never been worn by thousands of people, so I just enjoy it calmly.
I saw that Li Tingzhi was still a little reluctant to let go, so I said, "Xiangfu, feel free to speak freely if you have any ideas."
"I know that what you said is very comprehensive."
"No, as the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Only by pooling wisdom can we avoid being self-righteous. Xiangfu must not hold anything back. Even if it is a wrong view, it can make up for the loopholes in correcting the correct view."
"Yes, sir."
I nodded and said, "Let's talk about this bad thing next."
"Master, let's have some tea before we talk." Xiao Qi next to me saw that I kept talking and handed over the teacup.
I took a big sip of tea, moistened my throat and said, "I think there are two main reasons for this bad behavior. First, in the military field, Mongolia's Kublai Khan defeated Ali Buge, and his morale was at its peak. In the field battle,
The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is naturally greater than that of our army. Since our country lacks war horses, most of them are infantry. With the same number of people, our army is not its enemy for the time being. Even if our country can buy countless war horses, its horseback capabilities are not as good as those on horseback since childhood.
Mongolians who grew up in the country, but this is not the key point. I think the key point is that our army generally lacks a military spirit. It does not have the indomitable fighting spirit of the Mongolian cavalry. Year-round defensive wars have made our officers and soldiers more and more dependent on solidity.
The city, the powerful equipment, but neglected its own ability. As the saying goes, the brave will win when meeting on a narrow road, and our army lacks this kind of invincible courage, which causes the combat effectiveness of our army to be weaker than that of Mongolia. Secondly,
It is the political system of our dynasty. Our dynasty has been in existence for hundreds of years and has a long history. It is precisely because of this that many correct ideas have been distorted, resulting in a huge bureaucracy and slow work efficiency. Often there are policies at the top but no policies at the bottom.
There are countermeasures, even if there are good policies, but due to the incompetence or disobedience of the implementers, they end up becoming indistinguishable. Even worse, corruption becomes common, corruption and cliques form an invisible network.
Those who are not included in the big net will be attacked, which creates a vicious atmosphere in the DPRK. A few years ago, Liu Zheng surrendered to the enemy is a good example. This trend spread to the people, resulting in officials not being like officials and officials not being like officials.
In the end, the people are not the people, which is called the deterioration of the world and the decline of morality. However, the Mongols have always been simple and simple, and there is not so much nonsense from top to bottom. Once an order is given, it is executed immediately, and its efficiency is much higher than mine
towards."
"Young Master is so insightful that he can comprehensively analyze the problem, unlike us who can only see a few points and always fail to form a clear picture." Wen Tianxiang praised.
"Haha, let's talk about this third elephant together. Where is our opportunity? Let's talk about it."
Wen Tianxiang, after all, has a more straightforward personality, and said first: "Sir, based on the above analysis of good and bad signs, I think things have become very clear. Starting from our two disadvantages, we must first make politics clear, so that we can
According to the words of Marshal Yue, civil servants do not love money, military generals are not afraid of death, and the world is at peace. However, since the treacherous Prime Minister Shi Miyuan came to power during the reign of the late emperor, our dynasty has not carried out the responsibilities of the dynasty. The cancer has been deep-rooted, jealous of the talented and capable, and has never been able to show a new atmosphere. This
It is necessary to take heavy medicine, but this matter is easy to say, but very difficult to do. I think you have a good plan. As for the construction of the army, I think Mr. Li should have more say. Mr. Li, tell me what you think.
Bar."
I smiled and said: "Song Rui, you are really good at kicking a ball. In the blink of an eye, you left the problem to me and Xiangfu."
"Sir, what does kicking a ball mean?"
"Oh, just playing Cuju."
Li Tingzhi thought for a while and said: "Young Master's words are extremely insightful. What our army lacks is the military soul, but I don't know how to give our army the soul according to Young Master's intention?"
I said: "In military construction, we focus first on ideological construction, and secondly on capacity building. Ideological construction refers to letting officers and soldiers know why they fight and for whom they fight. Capacity building means letting officers and soldiers know how to fight. Xiangfu,
Aren’t there new refugees in your Yangzhou army?”
"Yes, sir."
"The reason why these refugees are willing to serve as soldiers is firstly to eat. They are hungry and have to eat enough. Secondly, they want to take revenge. Their hometowns were torn apart by the Mongols, their relatives were killed and enslaved, so they have to take revenge. Is that so?
?”
Li Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's exactly it."
"Fighting as a soldier to eat is the most basic issue of survival. Going into battle for revenge is the simplest and most direct ideological complex. A general should amplify these reasons according to the situation of the soldiers and let them understand that they are fighting as soldiers.
The reasons are magnified step by step from the basic points, and finally let the soldiers understand the principles of protecting their homes and the country. This is what I call ideological construction."
