"Subjects! Now I have nearly 6 million subjects! But I hope that one day, they can become the people of my military state, and to become the people of my military state, I must have the soul of the military state!"
Facing the ministers sitting here, Zhu Xianhai directly put forward his hope.
Transform the subjects of the Ming Dynasty into the military people of the Ming Empire.
easy!
Even now, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty have the fact that they are military citizens, because the whole country of the Ming Dynasty has compulsory military training.
But won’t there be deserters from this kind of compulsory national military training?
You must know that Prussia, which was the first to implement this system, was once famous in Europe for its deserters.
The people of a military state are not the soul of a military state.
Only the people who possess the soul of the military state are the true people of the military state!
This transformation of mind and soul cannot be accomplished overnight. It cannot be accomplished with a few edicts or decrees.
It cannot be achieved through compulsory military training. It must come from inner love and perseverance.
"The soul of the military country?"
Not to mention other people, even Sun Hu, the Minister of War, was a little confused.
"I wonder what the soul of the military country your Majesty is referring to?"
Others also looked at His Majesty curiously. They were no strangers to the "military state". Even Prime Minister Zuo said proudly when talking to foreigners - My Ming Dynasty was founded as a military state, so naturally it is not afraid of war.
.
But the soul of the military country is indeed a bit strange!
"What is the so-called soul of the military? It is the martial heart that comes from the heart! Warriors are born for war, are proud to die in battle, and are proud to sacrifice for the country! This kind of power that comes from the heart is the real power.
!”
This requirement seems a bit high. But for rulers, people who possess the soul of a military nation are the subjects that rulers can aspire to.
"Your Majesty, the high status of the armies and soldiers of the European powers has a historical tradition. In Prussia, the compulsory military service system and the compulsory education system coexist. The state instills ideas into the people through education, making them proud to serve in the country's military. I
In the Ming Dynasty, the compulsory education currently implemented is integrated with the military-civilian system to a certain extent. As far as I know, most students from elementary school to middle school and even university are proud to join the military."
As Minister of Education, Li Weimin definitely has the right to speak on this point. After all, many years ago, at the request of Zhu Xianhai, Nanhua had implemented military-civilian education. Although it was still in the exploratory stage, people who received education
Most young people are proud to join the army.
After thinking for a while, Li Weimin said again.
"In fact, both the education of new immigrants and school education in Ming Dynasty serve the military to a certain extent - new immigrants have to receive simple military training in education camps, and after children and teenagers enter school, physical education classes are military sports
, all Ming subjects who have received education camps and primary and secondary education will be qualified infantry as long as they put on military uniforms. Because they have completed the basic content of infantry training in education camps and schools..."
After a pause, Li Weimin continued.
"I think that the soul of the military state that your Majesty refers to is essentially based on the traditional Chinese thinking. Since the Song Dynasty, our Chinese education has been based on "all kinds of low-quality, only high-level studies". The suppression of literature and military has been the rule of all dynasties.
Because of their skills, the status of soldiers is low, and even the traditional social customs believe that warriors are unworthy. This is the fundamental reason why our Ming Dynasty only has the name of a military country, but does not have the soul of a military country. After all, the future Ming Dynasty will definitely be composed of tens of millions of immigrants.
, maybe we can change children’s minds through education, but the ideological environment formed by tens of millions of immigrants is something we have to face.”
The problem, it seems, lies in tradition again!
Emperor Zhu Da sighed helplessly in his heart. Many people said that China's decline in modern times was due to the failure of Confucian education!
But what about the reality?
Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties could level the world with a horse and rule the world with a horse. If they could go out, they would be generals, and if they could go in, they would be prime ministers.
That is to say, since the Song Dynasty was weakened, the Zhao family has ideologically imprisoned the Chinese nation and suppressed the Chinese nation's martial spirit for their own selfish purposes.
What is the saying that "everything is of inferior quality, only reading is high".
What is "the book has its own beauty like jade, and the scholar has his own golden house"
What is "a good man should not be a soldier, a good man should not be a nail drill"...
What are the fallacies of the Zhao family?
There is a Yan Ruyu in the book - she was robbed!
The scholar's own golden house - was robbed!
Good men don’t serve as soldiers—they get killed!
In a hundred years, the Zhao family succeeded in ruining a martial nation that was proud of its surroundings.
When "we Taqing" came, in order to prevent the Han people from resisting, they tried every means to suppress the Han people, let alone the martial spirit. The common people even practiced martial arts with a few people or had a meal together, which was a big rebellion.
Intention of rebellion. While using knives to chop off the integrity and courage of the Han people, the officials regarded the people as cattle and sheep, and oppressed and bullied the people in various ways. Under the dual pressure of butcher knives and whips, cowardice and obedience actually became the only way for the people to save their lives.
Way.
And they are also the group of people that Ming Dynasty will introduce!
Not to mention the martial spirit, if you just want to change the tame mentality under alien slavery, you can imagine the difficulty!
After Su Rong pondered for a moment, Zhu Xianhai said.
"That's why education is needed. The ideological education of adults cannot be accomplished in a day. It is impossible for Ming Dynasty to change the minds of tens of millions of adults overnight. This change should be subtle and should be through the general environment.
Changes due to changes in society, after all... human thoughts are easily affected by the external environment! We must establish an environment where the whole society respects military personnel. To put it simply, it means improving the social status of military personnel, and the military must also
Be sanctified! Improve the status of the army and military personnel through publicity."
How to improve the social status of soldiers?
Zhu Xianhai already had a plan in mind!
"Our army of the Ming Dynasty has always been personally controlled by the emperor. In this case, since our army of the Ming Dynasty is the royal army, anyone who insults the Royal Army and Navy or the people of the Royal Army and Navy is disrespectful and should be punished according to the national law...
…”
Let’s first establish the status of soldiers judicially. How to establish the status? Of course, it is tied to the royal family. From now on, anyone who dares to attack the military will be punished with a crime of “lèse-respect.”
What is political correctness? This is political correctness!
With this political correctness, if anyone says, "A good man should not be a soldier, and a good man should not hammer nails," that would be an insult to the "imperial army."
Uh, why does this "Imperial Army" sound so awkward?
It is an insult to the royal army!
It feels a little more comfortable to say it this way.
In the future, we need to put forward targeted guiding suggestions to major newspapers, suggesting that they write more articles praising soldiers and praising soldiers. As for the military-civilian education that has been carried out in schools in the Ming Dynasty, we need to continue to further
Strengthen, further strengthen.
"Newspapers and public opinion should serve politics. As we all know, the foundation of our country today depends entirely on the sacrifice and dedication of the soldiers. Without the sacrifice and dedication of the soldiers, how could our Ming Dynasty gain a foothold in a foreign land? How can we open up a new foundation for China here?
Therefore, we must vigorously praise the contributions of soldiers, respect their social status, and praise and beautify soldiers and war from various aspects such as history, literature, and music."
After Emperor Zhu Da finally finished his long speech, he turned his attention to everyone sitting there. All the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were silent.
Only the Minister of the Army and Navy could not conceal his excitement, but what about the others? They had different expressions!
Emperor Zhu Da's words did not deviate from the acceptable range of these Ming officials. After all, they were all very traditional Chinese. In the past few hundred years, the Chinese had long formed the concept of "everything is inferior, but only
If they have the idea of "high education", perhaps they can accept the military-civilian system in order to survive.
But accepting the superior status of a soldier? This is indeed a bit difficult to adapt to for a while, and they also have their own worries. After all, Emperor Shengde is too bellicose!
In fact, according to traditional Chinese standards, today's Emperor Shengde can definitely be called a militarizer!
Starting from the foundation of Nanhua, he successively destroyed two countries in these years, first taking Chile, and then destroying Argentina. Even when the country was not completely pacified, he led an army to go on an expedition to Europe, spreading the power of the Ming Dynasty in foreign lands, and even fought with Prussia, a small land power in Europe.
Start a battle and win consecutive battles.
The monarch was so warlike that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not match him!
According to Chinese traditional views, a king like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who actively expanded abroad was not a wise king or holy lord!
Of course, the cost of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's external expansion was too heavy - the household registration in the world was halved, which is why the ancients did not regard him as a holy master.
But the problem is that Emperor Zhu Da not only won the battle, but the price was not high, so... this Ming Dynasty cannot be treated the same way.
Even the people of Ming Dynasty are different from the past.
I don't know how long it took before I heard some Mandarin with a Hunan accent. It was Zuo Zongtang.
"What your Majesty said is true. The army is the foundation of our country. Our country can expand thousands of miles in foreign lands, not by the sharpness of pens and knives of scholars, but by the military power of soldiers. The Western countries are actually countries of tigers and wolves. The literati
Although the pen and knife are sharp, they cannot be taught to tame them; only the sharpness of the saber can stop tigers and wolves!"
Zhu Xianhai nodded, Zuo Zongtang's trip to Europe was not in vain. Only after going to Europe can we know what the rules of survival are in this world.
Force is the way to survive in troubled times!
Because of his understanding, he did not contradict himself. The left prime minister could always be consistent with him on major matters, and he had also had conflicts with him before.
The emperor and the prime minister both agreed, and everyone naturally nodded in agreement.
For Ming Dynasty, this regular meeting in October 1871 was just a normal Monday meeting...
